Chapter 23-Through the gates of Heaven and Hell
Legacy's POV
We were through the gates and someone tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned and felt an Angel of Light's presence.
"Storm?" I asked.
"Yes Legacy, its probably best if you raise your hood. I'll go to the market and get you a staffto help you walk." She said with what sounded like a smile.
I nodded and heard her walk off just after i lifted my hood over my head.
It wasnt going to help the fact that people would know that i was an Angel of Darkness but it would prevent peopl from recognising me.
"Legacy." I heard Storm whisper a few minutes later.
I looked slightly to my left and she grabbed my hand, putting a wooden staff in it.
"Great. Im gunna feel like an old hag." I sighed and rolled my eyes.
I heard Andy chuckle which set me off too even though i was minerly pissed off.
"Want me to lead your way?" CC asked.
I nodded and smiled in his general direction and felt as he linked arms with me.
We walked for a while and i used the staff to make sure i wasnt going to walk into anything.
After about 20 minutes we stopped.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"We're outside the physician's quaters." Michael replied.
I nodded my head once and attempted to lift my hood slightly and smile at CC with a sence of reassurance, but it was violently pulled back down when it got just past my nose. i scratched it with my nail accidently.
"Ouch." I said and rubbed my nose.
I pulled my hand away and noticed a bright crimson red color drip onto my dress.
"Oh my god Legacy, the bridge of your nose is bleeding." CC gasped.
"Its fine." I reassured him.
"No its not, theres loads of blo-"
"I said its fine!" I snapped, cutting CC off.
"You know you need to keep your hood down!" Michael snapped.
"I was only going to smile at the man i love." I growled. 'I love you too.' I heard CC say in his mind. "I know you do." I smiled in his direction... Roughly.
"Don't. You can smile at him when we're under cover." Michael said rather aggressively.
I sighed in frustration and nodded once.
"Should we go inside?" Andy suggested.
"Yes. Follow me." MIchael replied and i heard his footsteps as they walked through a large corridor.
Everyone followed him and i sensed we were inside when i felt a shadow of cold air cover my body. I held my cloak tightly and had a tighter grip on my staff.
I felt someone grab my hand and i looked down-not that i could see anything.
"It's only me." CC whispered.
I smiled. "Thank you."
We carried on walking for what seemed like an eternity.
"Stop." I heard someone say.
CC's POV
I squeezed Legacy's hand tighter to reasure her that everything was ok.
I think.
"What is your purpose here?" Another gaurd said.
"We ned to see the physician, my sister is blind and my friend is dying." Michael explained.
"Your sister?" The gaurd asked.
Michael nodded.
"Please, shes the only famiy i have." He begged.
"I'll talk to the physician and see what he has to say." The guard said and disappeared behind a curtain.
We waited about 15 minutes for him to come back out.
"How long is this going to take?" Jake asked.
"As long as it takes." Michael replied impatiently.
"Michael he was only asking!" Legacy snapped.
Then the gaurd came back out.
"What are your names?" He asked.
"What? All of us?" Michael asked. The gaurd nodded. "My name is Michael Furguson, this is my sister Legacy, her lover Christian, and their friends Andy, Juliet, Jake, Ella, Jeremy, Sammi and Ashley, our friend who is dying is Darius."
I smiled when he said i was Legacy's lover, it made me happy to hear it from someone else.
The gaurd slipped his head behind the curtain for a minute or so then looked at us again.
"You may enter. I hope you find all that you need from the physician." He said with the smallest smile i had ever seen.
Michael nodded and lead the way through the curtain into a dim-lit room with mere candles to light our way.
"Welcome Michael, Legacy, Storm, and humans i see." A voice came in an echo.
"Please help my sister and my friend, Adonis-" Michael started but was cut off.
"DO NOT SPEAK OF DEMONS IN THIS ROOM!" The voice bellowed.
"Apologies, he attacked us and now my friend is dying and Legacy is blind." Michael explained.
"Darius is dying?" The voice asked. Michael nodded. "Bring him to me."
A light shon that lead the way through to another room.
"Legacy too?" Michael asked.
"Yes."
Michael looked at me and i grabbed Legacy's hand and pulled her over to Michael who took her hand instead.
"Michael?" She asked.
"Yes sister, i'm here, don't be afraid." He whispered. Then he looked up and raised his voice. "I need someone to help me take Darius."
"As you wish." Was all the voice said.
"Let me go." I pleaded.
He looked at me for a second and then turned me away to speak to everyone else. "Who is the strongest of all of you?"
"I'd say either Ashley or CC." Andy shrugged.
"Ok CC, you may go with us." Michael said and smiled.
I smiled and back and nodded, then turning to take Darius from the table that i had found in the room to lay him on.
I slung his almost lifless body over my left shoulder and followed Michael and Legacy towards the light.
