Chapter 2: The Escape

As Sam laid on the bed in her cell, she finally decided she must be free and seek out Michael. She owed it to her brother to hear his side and perhaps even join his ridiculous crusade.

A few days after Gabriel had visited her, Sam managed to snatch the keys to the cage off one of the angels patrolling her room. As soon as she opened the door to her cell, an alarm sounded throughout the building. Within seconds, angels swarmed the room, each brandishing a weapon. Despite their large numbers, Sam fought each angel quickly and skillfully until their unconscious bodies were scattered throughout the room. If there was one thing she learned from her brothers, it was how to fight.

Sam finally exited the place that had held her captive for so long. She stretched out her wings and let out a sigh of contentment as she once again felt the power of the wind rushing between her black feathers.

She flew to the armory taking out two guards that stood watch outside. She entered and removed a single blade...her blade. It was slim and not great in size. Most would think it to be harmless when compared to other angel blades, but in the hands of Samandrial it was deadly.

She then descended from the sky and made her way to the first visible stronghold of the humans, a place called Haven. She landed out of the city's sights and began her long trek on foot. After she was scanned, Sam was allowed into the city. "Not great security" she thought to herself as she began to walk the city streets. As Sam approached the city's square, she noticed many humans buying and trading goods.

Sam knew she would be needing new clothes as hers were beginning to wear. She spotted a comfortable looking pair of black fitted jeans, a simple green shirt, a lightweight brown leather jacket, and a pair of black combat boots.

She approached the woman selling the clothes. "Excuse me, how much for those four items." Sam asked politely. "What have you got" the older woman asked. Sam dug through her pockets, but could provide a few coins. The women looked at her sadly. "I'm afraid that is not enough." Sam nodded and began to walk away, when the woman called out to her. "Wait a second, dear, maybe we can work something out." The woman agreed to give Sam the clothes provided she run some errands for her.

As Sam was about to finish the final task of bringing some vegetables back to the woman, she heard a scream. Startled, Sam turned to find a woman running through the streets. "Please someone help me, angels are outside the gates and so is my son."

Sam immediately went for the gate and exited despite the protest of the men guarding it. Soon after leaving the safety of the city, she saw a young boy running gleefully with what looked to be a toy airplane. The boy was so distracted by the toy that he failed to notice three men quickly approaching him.

As she closed the gap between herself and the men, she immediately recognized the creatures that were threatening the boy. Each of them had pure black eyes, black, spider-like veins, and jagged teeth that were visible while their lips were upturned in a snarl. These were the tell tale signs of a human body being possessed by one of the lower angels. Just the sight of these abominations filled Samandriel with overwhelming feelings of rage and disgust.

Sensing the danger to the boy, Sam increased her pace towards them and began drawing her blade. With a loud cry, she descended on the men and immediately pierced the heart of one of the angels. The two others ran at her with incredible speed, all the while snarling like rabid dogs. Sam jumped up and kicked one of them down, then quickly ducked to avoid the teeth of the other one. She whirled around and plunged her blade deep into the attacking angel's head. With lightening speed, Sam quickly dropped to the ground and stabbed the other angel in the heart before he even had a chance to recover from her last blow.

When the danger was gone, Sam slid her blade back into its sheath. She turned and saw the little boy cowering in fright with visible blood splatter on his face. "It's okay" she said as she approached the trembling child. Seeing the child's state she picked him up and carried him back into the safety of the city walls

Sorry that took a couple days, but I had to spend a lot of time editing especially with the punctuation. Just an FYI, I am really horrible with commas, I literally never know where exactly to put them, so I apologize if I have missed some or completely misplaced others.

So this was my first action sequence, what did you guys think? I know it was short, but hopefully they'll be more to come :)

Thanks you so much for the favorites (Danira85 & Eziliveve & andalusa) and likes (Danira85 & Eziliveve)

Danira85: Thanks so much! I hope you like chapter 2!

Guest: I'm glad you liked it! I really can't wait to develop Samandriel's character some more. I'm thinking maybe a mix between Michael and Gabriel. Any thoughts?

A story can never have too many reviews so please if you like the story or have some issues with it let me know. Also I am open to any suggestions from people as to what direction you think the story should be going. I obviously have some ideas, but I would love your input :)
