***Hey, this is the next chapter. It's been a long time since I updated this story. I actually ran out of ideas. Enjoy!
I don't own Legion.
Since James joined us, the three of us are now silent. James is busy sucking his cigar, Caleb is standing by the door, and I am on the couch looking for split ends. Yeah, split ends are what I'm worrying about instead of an upcoming war between good and evil. Then all of a sudden, a loud horn noise disturbed the whole area. I mean, its sound echoed all over the desert and I could seriously feel the earth shaking. I am even shaking. I quickly got up, terrified. Caleb slightly opened the door and peeked in. He doesn't seem to be happy with what he's seeing.
"James, you stay close to abbey" Caleb instructed.
James steps on his cigar and goes to me. We sat in one corner, scared, hearing shouting outside. The sounds of gunshots and clanging of swords could be heard already. We heard the window of the diner get shattered and some of the chairs moved around.
"I'll go out" Caleb said and turned the knob around.
"Be careful" I told him.
He smiled at me and quickly ran outside and closed the door again. James quickly locked the door and stays on guard beside it with a baseball bat on his hand.
"Damn it" he uttered, "And I thought that our life is simple"
"What's so normal about living in the desert?" I butted in.
He gave me that annoyed looked. "Just shut up and sit there.
And so I sat back on the couch biting my thumb. The fight is getting worse, I guess-hearing more gunshots. Oh god, I can't take it anymore! Why is there a war caused by me? Why am I this special? Or in other words, bad luck? I closed my eyes and prayed silently to god.
God,
I know you can hear me. Please, let all this madness stop. I'm begging of you. Or just give me my powers, I am an angel right? I want to help my family. I want this to end. Please god, help us.
"Abbey"
I opened my eyes as soon as I heard Caleb's voice. The door is open and he's standing there, breathing hard. I ran towards him and hugged him tight.
"Caleb, is it done?" I asked, caressing his soft face.
He nodded slightly and hugged me back, "Not yet"
"H-how is everyone, are they safe?"
"Yeah, they are"
"Oh Caleb, I'm just glad you're safe"
I hugged him again which lasted for awhile. I was leaning my head on his chest when I looked at the corner of the office. Behind the sofa, I saw the baseball bat James was holding. And speaking of James, why didn't he react when Caleb opened the door? And where is he? I looked beside the baseball bat, in the corner and saw my dear cousin unconscious with blood gushing on his forehead. I quickly let go of Caleb and ran to my cousin's aid. I tried shrugging him off to wake up but, he's just really too weak to wake up.
"James, wake up!" I exclaimed, then I looked at Caleb, "What happened to him?"
Before Caleb cold even answer, James starts to moan. I looked back at him and moved closer as he tries to say something.
"Hey, what is it?" I asked. "I'm here"
"R-run…" he starts to mumble softly, almost to himself.
"What are you saying?"
"H-he's not…C-Caleb"
I looked back at Caleb, who is smirking at me. He looks like Caleb but there is something weird about him. And the way he looks, it's not very comforting that I feel terrified in his presence. And his eyes, it's not the same warm eyes Caleb has. I screamed as soon as he transformed to somebody else. A pair of black wings appeared on his back and his red eyes have this deathly look. It was Caius. He grabbed me around my waist and busted the ceiling. I opened my eyes as soon as I felt the cold breeze on my face. I looked down and saw the demons surrounding the house and the diner. They were so many that they already outnumbered my family and friends. Then I saw dad battling along with Gabriel.
"Dad! Dad!" I screamed, trying to free myself from Caius.
Dad and Gabriel heard me and looked at me miserably. "Abigail!"
Dad ran following Caius' trace and so did Caleb. I saw a bright light covered dad and he burst out of it, flying with his beautiful white wings. I never thought that I'd ever see my dad in his angel form. Caleb also flew alongside dad, trying to outrun Caius. Caius quickly flies down towards the ground in full speed. I thought he's just a lunatic that would crush us to the hard concrete road. But surprisingly, a huge hole appeared on the ground where Caius entered with me. It smelled of earth, obviously, but later became the foul smell of blood and something dead. We reached the end of the hole and I was surprised to see what I'm seeing. There's a world under. It's just like what I've read in the Divine Comedy. There are scary looking demons everywhere, making the dead suffer with all kinds of punishments. I also saw a river made out of blood. I couldn't take the view anymore and my mind starts to spin with the foul smell of blood.
"Abigail!"
