• He starts walking where Christina and I are standing. I turn around to find
    Christina and she is halfway down the hall and trying doors at random.
    She ran off with out me...

    I take off down the hall and notice a statue in a half dome carved in the wall.
    I squeeze my self in between the statue and the wall. It was a tight fit. I
    can still hear Christina trying to open any door but they seemed to be
    locked. How could that be? They were all open a minute ago...

    My train of thought stops as I see him stop in front of the statue I'm hiding
    behind. He sniffs the air and I hold my breath and hope he can't see, or
    smell me. He seems to be contemplating something, then he moves out
    of view at the sound of Christina's shrill screams.

    What should I do? Helping Christina seems like the right choice, but she
    ran off without me. Left me alone, like, like, NO! She helped me. I've
    never felt so alive! I have to help her.

    I squeeze back out from behind the statue and look down the hallway.
    What I see makes my stomach lurk! Christina is in the air in chains, that
    are, OH My God, slowly crushing her. The man, dark voice, has his back to
    me and is laughing at Christina's pain. I see shipped off rock and I react
    without thinking and while running I grab the rock and all I could think about
    was the back of his head. I saw my target, and that rock in my hand was
    going to hit his head.

    It happened in slow motion right when the rock was about to make contact he spun
    around and grabbed my wrist and my throat and lifted me right in mid air. As I was
    being lifted from his back came the most beautiful and deadly looking wings you
    could imagine.

    "Do you think I didn't see you coming? Your foot steps make so much noise.
    Your friend over there made the mistake of not watching where she stepped.
    HA AH AH But you! You attempted to hurt an Alto Demone. Your race has
    grow even more stupid since I've been gone. Well the punishment for attempting
    to kill and or injure an Alto Demone is of course death."

    He stops talking and looks directly into my eyes with a wild grin of his face. I had
    been slowly running out of breath during his speech and everything had been going
    dark. As I was falling into the darkness I heard his voice once more. The words
    were inaudible but the feeling electrifying. Something was wrong...
