Angelica

A Story by blueflame

It's a Prologue

Deric feels a heavy punch being planted on his left cheek,it sends him sprawling across the room,he hits the wall with his back like a bag of potatoes,he feels a sharp pain raise up his spine and explode in his head. He's breathing hard,a stream of blood is flowing from his mouth,he can taste the blood in his mouth, he counts his teeth with his tongue,they are all intact.

The bright light is hurting his eyes, he puts a hand to avert his eyes,he hears footsteps come towards him,he sees a blur figure towering above him, the figure hauls him up against the wall. Deric dangles in mid air utterly powerless,he tries to make out the face of the blur figure but he's fighting a loosing battle everything is white and bright.

He feels the fingers of the figure dig in his shoulders,the figure slams him against the wall, and says"you don't give up don't you?,you think you can stop me from taking your precious girlfriend's soul, you think that you can save her and stop me,you know that death can't be stopped lover boy,i have orders it's my job she must die and her soul is needed,her time is up"

Deric wearily rises his hands in attempt to find the figure's neck,like a dieing man he says"i_have to save_Angelica, i won't let you take her",the figure barks out a laugh and truths a sword into Deric's stomach,Deric feels the cold blade slice through his gut.
