Ch 7: Ambush and Capture

A few weeks later, Pit made a full recovery. His wing was back to normal and the gashes on his side healed up, leaving faint scars. He and Dove got to know each other more, while her siblings teased them about getting together. Chance and Vince were pulling pranks on everyone as usual. Rain asked Pit if he could teach her archery. All of them became close, almost family close. Every day was nice and peaceful, then all of that changed.

Dove had gone to her spot in the forest while Pit was giving lessons to Rain. Dove wasn't aware of the unexpected visitors were watching her in a stalkerish way. They were demons summoned by the snake lady to spy on the little angel boy. Instead they found a mortal girl walking in the forest, playing an ocarnia type instrument.

"Hey boss," one demon said. "Can we get her now?"

"Yeah! Can we?" another squeaked.

"Not yet," the boss Typhon said. "We need to wait for the perfect moment."

The others were disappointed so they waited. Typhon watched the girl carefully before saying, "Now!"

Pit and Rain were inside taking a break. Rain was telling her angel friend about the time Spirit first tried to swing their father's sword for the first time. She had lost her balance and nearly cut Dove, who was in a chair reading a book. The two laughed then stopped when a scream was heard.

Dove was not expecting this. One minute everything was fine, then the next was horrible. She was trying to fight off the demons that had scared the crap out of her, but was having a difficult time doing so. Thankfully, her father had taught her and her sisters combat moves if the time came for them to use them. He had also given Dove twin duel spinners with her name craved in Greek. She managed to bring down one, but another one pinned her to the ground. Suddenly, a voice shouted near by. "Let her go!"

Dove knew that voice. "Pit! Help!" she shouted trying to break free.

She was sucessful, until a clawed hand grabbed her neck. She dropped her weapons and tried to pry the hand open. Black spots swarmed her vision. Her heart pounded in her ears, her lungs burned and her strength was slipping. Then the pressure around her neck was released as the demon fell to the ground after being shot by a light arrow. Dove was on her hands and knees when Pit ran over to her.

"You okay?" he asked. His friend nodded.

"This is perfect!" a dark voice crowed. "Just perfect!"

Pit turned around and shot an arrow in the direction the voice came from. It merely bounced off the target.

"Nice try, angel boy," the voice said. "but you have to do better than that!" A figure stepped out.

"Who are you?" Pit demanded.

"My name is none of your concern." the figure said.

Dove instinctively picked up her weapons and got in to a fighting position. "Don't try to mess with us," she growled.

The figure laughed. "Ah, my dear," it said. "I'm not here to mess with you. I'm here to capture you."

With that being said, the figure raised a hand and began chanting. Dove's eyes widened when she realized what was about to happen. "Run!" she shouted to Pit, but it was too late. By the time he heard the warning, the wizard's spell hit him hard, knocking him out. The wizard flung out the same spell as Dove raised her weapons to defend herself.
