Chapter 6
For a moment everything was dark, but that was expected, and then it wasn't. The whiteness was blinding and they closed their eyes in defence. After what felt like forever, they opened their eyes and looking around were shocked by how Hell really wasn't so different from how it's described on Earth.
Looking around, Nora sees hundreds of people chained up, their shackles frosted over with cold. She sees a dark figure standing alone, not tied up, and realises that it's Scott.
"Scott!" She calls out, but not a sound comes out. The place is completely silent. She could see most of the people were trying to scream but there was only silence.
Scott looks around, feeling a gaze on his back. As he turns he feels the pull of leather on leather and looks down to see himself fully clothed once more. He looks around the open space. It wasn't cold, but it definitely wasn't warm, everything was covered in ice and frost, people chained up and shivering.
One of them opened their mouth, and for a moment Scott thought they were yawning, but he then realized as their face contorts in agony, that the person is actually screaming, but no sound is coming out. In fact, he notices that there hasn't been a single sound since he entered the place.
He then sees a familiar figure, her own mouth open and mouthing his name. Nora.
It's almost like one of those slow motion scenes from a movie as they run towards each other in silence, their beaming faces saying more than words ever could. Nora feels herself being taken up in his arms as they hug. They don't let go for a long time, and it's then that they realize just how much they missed each other.
"So this is Patch's circle?" Scott tries to say but then remembers about the no talking thing so instead he mouths, "Patch?" and Nora nods, her expression suddenly nervous.
So he takes her hand and together they examine their stone cold surroundings. Nora nudges him when she sees an un-fortunate familiar figure; Gabe. She makes her way over and the Fallen Angel looks up in shock, obviously remembering her get-away with Patch all that time ago.
He looks up at Scott, seemingly afraid but she shakes her head and he turns his head questioningly and she mouths one word for him, "Jev?" The Angel frowns and mouths back, "What?" She sighs and mouths, "Here?" and he shakes his head and mouths "Sorry…" She gives him the finger and they walk on.
As they walk along Scott looks down and watches Nora beside him, her expression especially. She frowns a lot and purses her lips, making him smile down at the top of her head. At times she seems a little forlorn and he figures she must be missing Patch a lot.
Then suddenly he feels a tug on his arm and he looks down again to see her grinning and pointing towards a figure on the ground. She starts to drag him over to the body, which every now and then lifts a little, and Scott presumes it's just barely breathing. Only the Angel cant die when it's already dead.
"It's him!" Nora mouths, gesturing wildly and Scott squints, not completely sure… but once he sees those black eyes, he knows for sure. He lets her go and watches as she runs over to him and kneels down in front of Patch.
Patch looks up, bewildered, and Scott stands back as Nora reaches forward and touches her Angel's face. Suddenly, Patch reaches out and grabs Scott's hand and then there is darkness once more.
