Hey people! I want to apologize for the lack of stories. I have not forgotten nor have I abandoned them. I have been busy and I didn't have anything to type my stories on. Therefore I have had to settle for writing them all the time.

I finally have inspiration and am using that to my full advantage.

I thank everyone for sticking with my stories during my absence. I hope this won't happen again. I missed making my stories for everyone and am glad to be back. Unfortunately, with the software I am using, I can't access my old stories, except for my KH story since I hadn't started tying that one yet, until I am able to purchase Word again. Until, then, all stories will be new and fresh for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks so much!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC and anything not in the original story.

I had done it. I had escaped from that place.

My hell.

My prison.

My nightmare.

Now it was nothing but a distant thought as I fled from the palace. The sound of wings slicing through the air alerted me to my pursuers. 'They've been following me since the palace! Give up already!' I mentally screamed. I couldn't turn back now; not when I had gotten this far! I must reach the lake at all costs. It's the only way!

My legs began to burn from my run. My lungs ached as I pushed myself to the limit. I wasn't sure how much longer I could outrun my father's guards.

Getting fed up, I snapped open my fourteen foot wings before launching myself into the air. The wind pushed against me as I flew to my destination. Making many complicated twists and turns, I was somehow able to lose my pursuers. Slowing to a stop, I searched my surroundings for any sign of the other daemons. When I was positive there were none around, I allowed my body to hover just above the ground; my shoeless feet just grazing the earth.

I muttered under my breath as my golden eyes glared in the direction I just came. "I have to get to the lake. Only then can I leave Gahenna and flee to Assiah." Turning back to the direction of the lake, I launched myself at it.

It took a matter of minutes for me to reach it. The water had an ominous glow as I approached. Standing to the water's edge, I peered into the darkness below. A sigh escaped my lips as I allowed myself to float until I was in the center of the lake. My tail swayed behind me as I prepared myself for what I was about to do.

"I hope this works." I was a little hesitant before bringing my hand to my mouth. Using one of my unusually sharp, even for daemons, fangs, I pierced the flesh of my palm before making a fist. Blood began to flow freely and soon trickled into the water below me.

After a few drops of my blood hit the surface, the water began to bubble. Flying just a little higher, I watched as a Gate was created. Figures of dead humans and daemons alike meshed together to create a grotesque shape. Soon the Gate was complete. I had my way out right before me. Yet, I hesitated before drifting down. I slowly dropped to my knees as I allowed my body be taken by the Gate. A whimper escaped me as I began to sink further into the darkness.

My only thoughts were of my siblings. My reason for leaving. The older brothers who abandoned me and my younger brothers whom I've never met. "I have to get to them. All of them are in danger!" I tried to convince myself that I had to get to them. As far as I was concerned, they were my only family.

Soon I was no longer able to see Gahenna. My vision began to fade as I disappeared into the darkness of the Gate. I no longer felt afraid. Instead, I was relieved to be free. Now, I could escape the life I had and could make a new one.

Only this time, I WOULD have my family with me.

Okay! So I know this is short. But don't fear! I actually have a plot for this one semi made. Feel free to let me know how the chapter was. I just really wanted to get something out for you guys. And actually, my boyfriend was the one to help me come up with ideas for my stories (even if he doesn't know it)

Anyway, thanks again to all who have stuck with me during my long absence! Also, Hationor! I know you are reading this! Thanks for always being the best bro I need and for always commenting on my stories!

Love you all and I hope to hear from you soon!

Until next time,

JA NE~~
