So sorry for not updating fro so long. You've got the permission to kill me. Ok, joking. But it's just that firstly I had no time and then no inspiration and so on... But I won't make any more excuses so just read the chapter and review and tell me what you think :)
Dylan POV
On my way to the Luna, I kept thinking about everything the old man told me. I just couldn't accept the fact that Max was about to die. I mean, in another way than she was suppose to. It was certain that on her eighteenth birthday, she would become an Angel, but that never meant vanishing from the world completely. The death, the old man was talking about, was something worse. It meant the end. The end for her, for me and for the whole world.
"Dyl? Stop talking to yourself. We're almost at the Prophecy. You should concentrate" Gazzy whispered into my ear, as he stabbed me with his elbow, trying to catch my attention. Snapping from my musings, I hissed in pain and glared down at him.
"I am concentrated" I answered, as I slowly rubbed my side. " And you could be more gentle. I'm sure I'll have bruise tomorrow." I added, wincing a bit. Gassman rolled his eyes at my behavior, but didn't say anything. Instead he just straightened the hood of his robe and in silence marched after me.
There was only one way to the Prophecy, so called Path Of The Equal. It was long, narrow bridge hanged above an abyss full of monsters and other dangerous creatures. It owes it names due to the fact, that everyone looses here the power and becomes weak and vulnerable. Everyone is equal, no matter their origin or breed.
As we got closer to the Prophecy, we felt as the temperature fell lower and the wind blew stronger, making our legs bent. We had to use all our force to break through the gale and move forward.
It didn't take long until both me and Gazzy started to shake. The only thing we had on, where the long white tunics dead people wear and trust me, they didn't save our asses from freezing.
"Man, my legs feel like falling off anytime soon." Gazzy mumbled to me. His white lips, trembled a bit as he spoke.
"Mine too. Buh don'th worreh. Onhly few mihles and- Ouch! Myh tounhge hurths soooh much!" I mumbled back to him, being unable to say proper sentence with a frozen tongue. I ran it along my teeth, trying to warm it up. Gaz looked up at me and rolled his eyes at my behavior, but eventually gave me a cheering smile (which actually looked creepy, but whatever). I chuckled at his face, but then suddenly his expression changed into a sad one and he turned his face away from me.
"Dylan..." Gazzy muttered silently under his breath. I raised my eyebrow at him in a questioning way . " If we won't get out alive from this mission, if something really bad will happen... I- I just want you to know that you're not only my master, but also best friend." he confessed, uncomfortably scratching the back of his neck. I couldn't see his expression, since the hood covered his face. Ignoring my pride I threw my arms around him and gave him a brotherly hug. A very stiff hug, but yet a brotherly one.
"You're my bro, Gazzy. And don't worry. Together we'll manage to get out of this alive. Now let's go and meet the Prophecy!" I shouted and threw my numb fist up in the air.
"Yeah!" Gazzy shouted after me.
"Yeah!" I repeated even louder.
"Welcome to my kingdom prince Dylan." We heard from behind us. Frowning we turned around and faced no one else than Prophecy.
"Hello, mother..." I mumbled, looking down at the floor.
Iggy POV
Shoving her hand of my chest, I took a step back. She held her hand out for a while, before slowly dropping it down.
"Wha- What?" I asked a bit confused with her speech. What heart? What was she talking about?
The girl sighed loudly and shaking her head sat down on the floor. The chains tangled as she moved her body, visibly causing her pain. Her jaw tightened and she closed her eyes, but then slowly relaxed.
" I just want to explain you the reason of why you sister's death is necessary." she explained softly. She opened her emerald eyes and watched me intensively to see my reaction. I stared back at her, not being able to look away. It seemed as if she reached my soul and tried to control my emotions. In front of my eyes, I saw whole my life passing by.
My first day in school, my first friend, my first A, my first girlfriend and my first kiss... Mom, some blurry father's outline, Max...
"Max won't die!" I shouted, snapping back to reality. The girl seemed startled with my reaction for a while, but then quickly changed her expression into a unemotional one. " She- she won't! That's why I am here!" I kept on talking, while the tears started to fill my eyes and without any warning creep down my cheek. " She will live! She- she has to..." I stopped, suddenly feeling lost in all the emotions that were building up in me. It felt as if I was about to explode any time soon.
"Iggy..." Marissa whispered, catching my eyes with her green one. I kept blinking rapidly not being able to stop "Sit down. Listen to what I have to say" she said in a gentle tone. Violently shaking my head, I turned my back to her.
" No! You're just trying to convince me wrong!" I yelled even louder, coughing up with my tears. Turning around on my heel I went to the door and kicked the door with all my force. "OPEN THE FREAKING DOOR, MORONS! LET ME OUT! I HAVE TO SAVE MY SISTER!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Iggy, sit down. You're just making it worse" Marissa said, trying to calm me down. I ignored her and continued to pound on the door. Marissa comfortingly put her hand on my shoulder. " It won't-"
"SHUT UP!" I yelled, yanking off her hand " Who are you to tell me what to do, huh? You just-"
"I'm your fucking guardian angel!" she interrupted me and breathing heavily, hit my arm. I stopped suddenly and too shocked to even say a word, stared at her flushed from anger face.
After taking few deep breaths, Marissa sat down on the floor and patted a place next to her.
"Sit down. It's going to be a long story"
The next chapter will be concentrated only on Max and Fang so keep reading. I will explain the reason why Max doesn't remember her appearance in second hell and I'll write it in Fang's POV. But if you want me to write, review! Last time I have got only 4 reviews. That's really not satisfying :( But maybe it's because they were so short? Anyway, I will try to write longer and longer, but you have to give me the reason to do so. So PLEASE, REVIEW :)
