Mortal Angel
Chapter 2
Life's hardships.
Gabriella had been living with Fabio for almost three months now and Fabio had taught her a lot. Gabriella now hunted lycans, monsters which terrorized the troop Gabriella lived with. Every time the humans came across a group of lycans, all were exterminated unless Fabio instructed some to be kept alive so they could be tortured for information. At first Gabriella thought this was cruel until a lycan killed three members of their troop.
One night while the troop kept watch over the camp Fabio led Gabriella away. He seemed nervous and twitchy.
"Um...Gabriella will you... marry me?" he asked.
Gabriella squealed in delight and threw herself into his arms as he slipped a carved stone ring onto her finger. They kissed passionately until an ear-splitting roar echoed around the area. Gabriella and Fabio gasped in fear as the heard lycans come streaming in to the camp.
"Run for your lives! The lycans are attacking. RUN!" Fabio screamed as the air filled with their friend's screams. He grabbed Gabriella's hand and pulled her after him.
The lovers ran until they ran into a small gully. Suddenly a huge lycan came flying through trees at them and tackled Fabio to the ground.
"NOOOO" screamed Gabriella as the lycan buried its huge fangs in Fabio's throat.
The lycan turned to Gabriella, ready to kill her when silver arrows came flying out of the darkness and hit the lycan's bulky body. The lycan roared in agony and turned away from Gabriella to face it's attacker. More arrows pierced the lycan's body and it dropped to the ground, dead. Gabriella sobbed hysterically until a gloved hand came to rest on her shoulder.
"There. There child its ok, your safe now."
