I decided to continue this fic. It's going to be awhile before I update the next chapter, because I want to at least have five chapters written before I put anything new up. So don't expect anything soon. I also want to announce something, but I'll tell you guys at the end of this chapter. So, I hope you enjoy.
Prologue
It was 10 o'clock at night, and everyone, but a small handful of people, were inside their houses, getting ready for the next day.
In an alley, a few blocks down from the center of town, was a little girl that looked to be around the age of 5. She was wearing a light blue pajama gown that reached down to her ankles, and she was tightly holding a brown teddy bear; like her life depended on it. She was walking through the alley, calling for her mother, even though deep down, she knew she wouldn't get a response.
As she walked further down, she glanced back over her shoulder when she heard a noice.
"Mommy?" the girl whispered, while turning around. She slowly walked towards where she heard the noise, then screamed and jumped in fright when she heard another noice. She didn't stand to close, but she tried to see if she could find the source from where she stood. When she didn't see anything, she took a step back only to stop when she felt something press against her back.
She slowly turned around, shivering in fear, and screamed when she saw blood red eyes glaring down at her.
A few seconds later, one of the doors in the alley opened and a middle-aged women stepped out. She shines a flashlight in her hand out towards the alley.
"Hello? Anyone there?" the woman called out. When she didn't hear a response, she walked back inside and closed the door.
A few miles away from town, and out in the country side, in the woods, an old cabin stood at the center of a clearing. The inside of the cabin would look like its been abandoned for years. If you would listen carefully, you would hear that all the activity happens below ground.
The 5 year old girl was sitting at the middle of the floor, and watched fearfully as several different breeds of snakes, cobras, and serpents slithering by her. She cried even more when she remembered she didn't have her teddy bear with her for comfort. She turned her head to the right when she heard a hissing sound, and backed away a bit when she saw it was the really big snake that brought her here. She was starting to back away when she noticed the bear the snake was holding with its mouth.
"Teddy!" She squealed in delight.
The snake gently gave her the bear and she quickly grabbed it and held it real close.
"Thank you." she said.
The snake just flicked its tongue towards her and slithered away.
The little girl watched it leave and saw that it was moving towards the person at the bottom of the steps. The person kneeled down towards the floor and gently stroked the snake's back. The snake hissed happily before leaving into the shadows in the corner.
"Where did the snake go?" she asked.
"He went back into town. He's making sure that no one in town will find me. I swear, he worries abot me too much." the person said.
The little girl thought he was singing when she heard him, but realised that's what he normally sounds like.
She thought the man was beautiful, he looked to be 16 or 17 years old, but something told her he was so much older than that. His hair was so long that it reached his knees, and was so black in color it looked like no light can shine through it. His eyes were greener then the freshly cut grass she has seen in her neighbors yard, and his pale skin contrasted with his black hair. He looked like a fallen angel.
"What's you name?" the angel asked.
"Maggie. What's yours?" she asked, slowly standing up from the ground.
"My name is Harrison, or Harry for short." Harry said.
Maggie shook her head and Harry looked at her with a confused look. "You don't look like a Harry. Your name should be Angel."
Harry laughed softly to himself, "Oh, really. Alright, you may call me Angel, if you like. I don't mind, but why would you want to call me that?"
"You look like an angel that fell from heaven. Mommy told me that angels are really beautiful," Maggie said smiling, then she looked away shyly. "I think you're really beautiful, so you must be an angel."
Harry smiled and gently picked Maggie up, "So, you think I'm an angel huh?"
Maggie nodded her head, and Harry smiled, "Okay. I'll be called Angel from now on."
Maggie smiled and rested her head on Angel's shoulder.
Angel smirked softly and looked towards the King Cobra that was resting in the corner.
'Ashar, I have a task for you.' Angel said.
The king cobra rose up and slithered towards him. Then he bowed his head when he was close enough, 'What is it you ask of me, master?'
'Assign a few of my reptiles to get a room ready for this young girl in my arms. When you're done with that, I want you to go to the Apostle's current hideout and have Creed come over.' Angel said, then walked towards one of the doors that led to his room.
Ashar nodded, 'Yes master. Is there anything else you want me to do?'
'No, that will be all.' Angel said, and then closed the door.
Like I promised at he beginning of the chapter, I will announce something. As of this chapter, of friend of mine has ask if I could update her stories onto my account instead of starting one of their own. Apparently, when they tried to start their own account, it didn't work out. So instead, we're going to share mine. I hope you guys will enjoy their stories. I'm sure you'll be able to tell our writing style difference.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this fic as much as my other fics. Tell me what you think.
