The birth of the heart of an Angel

Somewhere in the room where the cages were put hold, group of men involved were divided into two, one was to stop the soldiers from coming through while the other hurries to transport the goods. Including the slaves who wept, the young lady still was on the outside of the cell. People are too busy to notice the little lady creeping towards the gate.

She slowly opened the cell, wincing at the screeching noise. She looks at her back seeing no one notice her yet. "Hurry up before they notice", she whispered at the girl sitting at the back. Ella nodded and crawled out of the cell. Together they crept out of the room quietly. Ella look back and wanted to save the other children but she was in no position to do so. The room is crawling with monsters it's impossible to save all of them without making a fuss.

She sighed and followed the little lady, making their way out of the room. Little did they know, one of the men subconsciously followed them in silence. They ran through the stairs and floors. And with each window they pass through was gradually getting higher to the ground. "We must be in the underground", the lady thought. Grasping to their lungs and legs, they arrived on a random floor not to far from the outside ground.

"It stinks in here", whined Ella. They both covered their noses and walk through the room full of boxes and wood. Wandered around the maze of wonders. A glimpse on a box took the interest of the two girls. Curiousity led them to a much more complicated situation. Ella took out the cover and they both gasped. The box was filled with glimmering feathers, in all shapes and sizes. Some look dusty and old while the others look fresh, freshly been uprooted by the owners that is.

"Mmfgh", Ella covered her mouth when she felt a familiar feeling went up her throat. Tried to swallow and maintain her emotions, but can she even do it? "What's wrong?", the lady shouted. Apparently not even soft voices can reach Ella and pull her out of her thoughts, so the lady took her volume to a little more extreme.

"ELLA!", the lady shouted on top of her lungs, scaring the life out of Ella's body. But it did work, Ella snap out of her thoughts with her trembles lessened on her hands. Somehow she stared right pass at the lady in the eye and gradually shivered, unable to talk.

"ah..huh..la-lady..", Ella mumbled while staring, the lady doesn't get it. "Why is she still shivering?", she thought. And with a single whisper of a sentence Ella whispered in a whimper, "behind you".

The lady soon to notice the huge shadow that swallowed both of the girls, she quickly turned her back to be greeted a large arm ready to flail at her. Time didn't went on their side as she was slapped on the cheek by the palm of a huge man. "KYAAK", the lady moaned when the man sent her body flying across the room. Ella stood in shock, too scared to move.

"Two lil girls walking on a twig, one fell down and broke her neck", the man sang with the boldest and deepest voice the girls had ever heard. He shot his arm and choked Ella, raise her upwards away from the ground. "Air..I need air, what...what about her?", her eyes darted across the room where the little lady layed. She was alive and moving thank goodness, she fumbled and stumbled when she tried to stand up.

"He-help...", she muttered. The huge man took a huge grin clenching his arms around the little girl's neck tight. "Man, I'm sure boss won't mind if I screw with just two girls right?", laughing at the thought, he bottoms tingled in excitement. It was his first time doing it with children that he couldn't control his excitement. Screams and cries, soft skin and blooded sheets, how exciting will it be. Licking his lips as he look at the two girls trembling.

Ella couldn't take it...Air...I need air! With the last strength she turned her head down and bit his thumb. The man yanked away in shock, dropping the girl to the ground. And with the last voice she can muster in her throat, she screamed.

Screamed and screamed, yelp for help, she cried feeling her voice turning into a crack. A palm blocked her mouth slamming her head down the rough surface of the floors. "You lil twirp!", the man shouted, spreading his fingers across her small built. She kick and push, anything to get away fron the man. But what can a little girl do to a grown adult, she muffled behind the man's palm with tears dripping nonstop. It was all a whimpering mess when things come down the bottom.

Ella shut her eyes when she felt tha man's breath into her ear, "I don't want it! I don't want it! I don't want it!", she kept murmuring which she held on to her dear heart. The world shut her out, her senses were no longer to her avail, but she kept trembling in fear. Warm hands grab her shoulders, shooking her, but she was too focus right now.

"lla...Ella! ELLA!", a wailing voice disrupted her thoughts. Ella knew whose voice was that, but just couldn't open her eyes, what if she sees the man's face again? The one painted with a dark smirk? No she wouldn't. "LEAVE ME ALONE!", she screamed shaking off the arms that held her shoulders firm. "ELLA ITS ME! LIL LADY!", a voice similar to the little lady reached Ella's ears. It was about time she opened her eyes slowly, greeted by a calmed lady.

She was still covered with dirt and a swell pained her cheek, but other than that the lady seems fine. "What happened?", Ella asks. What happened to the man, what happened while her eyes were shut away? "He's taking care of him so don't worry", the lady turned on her back as Ella tilted her head for a look. White slings swung and hit across the man's body. Following along was a familiar boy hopping from side to side while he attacks the man.

"Is that...Alyce?", she wondered. The soft looking boy she knew was infront of her, yet she felt so distant. His eyes darted at every attack the man gave him moving either sidewards or backwards to avoid. The white slings...lets say it follows him, where are his hands? Why can she only see the white slings and no arms attached to his shoulders?

The two girls both watch the boy in awe, impressed perhaps?He moved like a lightning until only long lines of blonde hair and white slings zapped across the mid-air. How could a young boy move in that speed? A tap on her shoulder snap out of her thoughts. The little lady tapped her and made weird hand signs. A finger point to her and me, a point from above and running fingers. I didn't get it until I saw the ceiling, it has a hole small enough for our sizes."She wanted for us to get on a higher ground", Ella simply thought.

How could they go up that high, there are no stairs that reaches the ceilings. No sir, that might not be case at all. Her bangs shifted down covering her eyes as her head went down when she bit her thumb. She brainstormed for all the possible ways and non came right, unless--. Her eyes quickly swift on her left as a tall shadow appeared behind them. A woman with no footsteps to be heard was now infront of them. With one wave of her arm, the woman's whip came following the flow of her arm.

SPAK

Just in time Ella shouted and pushed the lady away from her. "KYAK?!", the lady landed on her back on the ground with tud. Ella happen to be the same earning few scratches, luckily her back seems fine apart from her elbows and arms that took the fall. The whip slap the ground where it even push the ground deeper to it's grave.

"Oh avoid the whip I see, what a fun game will it be", the woman hummed happily. Slamming her whip towards them, they both scattered. Crawling on opposite sides, they were desperate for their lives. The woman had her heels knock on every step she took. Making her way to her first victim, the little lady who tried to crawl her way out.

Ella look around, there must be a way out of this, she thought. She took a glance at Alyce, busy attacking and defensing himself from the man. "Alyce...", her voice preached out for the boy. He has his hands full but still took time to look at Ella. "Yah?", he chirped in. But it was not even a second he immediately got cut at the cheek by the blades held by the man.

"Aaarghh curse you bastard!", Alyce turned back on his opponent and swung his hands...err weapon. Occupied to be disturb, he gave out a shout to every hit he gave.

"Um...", Ella was about to say something when stooped down from the idea. I'm pathetic, she whispered to herself. "No Ella, you shoudn't always look to Alyce for help", she shook her head; no she wouldn't. He has done a lot for her afterall, now it was her this time.

Grasping her fingers on the ground, she held her fists and took a choice. Something she never imagined her doing it. Placing her knees, forcing herself to stand up and put up a stance. "No more running", Ella advised herself as her hand reached in for her ear taking out a glimmering earring shaped like a feather.

Holding the item on her hand, her eyes fixed on a gaze and pushed her back forward. She was ready to go and tackle the woman infront of her. Whose whips scared the little lady, she was cornered in a row of boxes no where to escape. "Dear God of biscuits, this might be my last escapee", she murmured with a trembling voice.

She was ready to close her eyes when she took a glance on a bright light speeding behind the woman she shivered at. It all happened right at the moment, a slow motion on the scene. The older woman shrieked as a white ball of light flew passed by her. And as soon as the ball of light reaches her, it's head shifted upwards.

It's eyes met with hers for the first time, and it took her breath away. Bright light surrounds the wings and feathers that popped out of the girl's back. As if an angel greeted her with an entrance and all.

"Ella?".
