A/N: I like the way hansolofan put it: this story is a bit unorthadox, but still worth a read, or at least a brief glance. Enjoy this next part.
Canto III
When the air around us cleared up, I was met by a tall, fearsome looking man.
"This is Minos," Danny told me. "The infernal judge."
"Hello," I said, again trying to be polite, though not sure if people in Hell cared too much about manners.
"Do you dare to enter into the circles of Hell?"
I was about to answer, 'No,' but I guess Danny sensed my fear and answered "yes, she does," for me.
"Then be warned- be careful of how you enter these lands. Take caution as you journey through the circles of the damned."
I was about to thank the man, but instead was dragged on hurriedly down a short path.
"Welcome to the second circle of Hell," my guide told me. Before he could explain to me the sins of the people here, a tall woman with once beautiful blond hair and a face that was too old for her, staggered toward us.
"Hi," she said, winking at Danny. The woman was pathetic. She had a drunken quality to her, though I was sure that it was from her time spent in Hell.
"Any guess at what kind of sinners are kept here?" Danny asked me.
"Lustful," I said, sure that I was right.
"Bingo," he said, as the woman put a hand on his face. Danny simply smiled. "This is Abigail Sponder."
This time I didn't even try to say hello. The woman ignored me, completely focused on my guide.
"Abigail used to be assistant to one the most successful hotel owners in the world. We met in Vegas once and," he paused. "Well, it's a long story."
"So what happened to her," I asked.
Danny smiled as the woman tried to embrace him. "Well, there was this friend of mine, Linus-"
"He poisoned me!" Abigail shouted, making eye contact with me for the first time.
"That's what they all say, sweetheart."
With this, she pushed my guide away and stomped off, pouting.
Suddenly, I felt a strong, cold wind that threatened to blow us off our path.
"Come on!" Danny shouted over the roar of the wind. I grabbed his hand, as he led me into the next part of our journey.
