Escaping to the unknown

Chapter 2

  Me being confused and totally unaware of my surroundings is very rare because I usually pay very close attention to things around me. With that being said, imagine how I feel as of right now. I literally have no idea who these winged men are and why they’re hell bent on forcefully taking me from my family. 

  “Can somebody tell me what’s going on,” I yelled in the middle of everything making everyone freeze in place as if time stopped. No one moved or said anything, I walked around and examined everyone with a confused expression written all over my face. I know I said froze in place but I didn’t actually think they literally froze in place. 

  “What is this?” I asked, completely lost looking around me.

  “Your true power child” a soft spoken voice said causing me to look around frantically to find where it was coming from.

  “Who are you” I asked the voice.

  “I am Tiamat, the goddess of dragons” she spoke in an all mighty tone.

  “What exactly is going on here Tiamat” I asked her.

  “The angels of darkness, formally known as fallen angels, are here to retrieve you and take you to the underworld” she explained.

  “For what reason exactly” I asked, even more confused.

  “That’s a story for another time princess, we must tend to the issue at hand” she stated. Just then everything unfroze and everyone was fighting again. I guess they realized what happened and came to a complete stop looking at me.

  “What” I asked with my head c****d to the side.

  “Let’s go” Micheal said, snatching me by my arm and dragging me away.

  “No” I yelled, snatching away and running towards my grandfather. When I got to him I noticed there was a sword sticking out of his side that I somehow didn’t notice earlier and he was laying there lifeless.

  “Listen to him, run Nailah! Get as far away as possible and never look back” My grandmother said, stroking my face with sad eyes and I looked at my grandfather with a horrified expression and tears streaming down my cheeks.

  “Running is for the weak” I spat.

  “So think of it as retreating until you are strong enough to retaliate” she said nearly getting stabbed by one of the men but she dodged just in time. I fixed my face and ran upstairs while Michael was fighting off the two men alongside my mother and grandmother. I ran into my room and grabbed all I could before running into Shaione’s room doing the same.

  “What are you doing” the little girl asked but it came out a little chopped up since she is only 4 years old and has yet to learn how to speak properly.

  “We gotta go and fast kiddo” I told her, grabbing our stuff and tossing her over my shoulder. I made sure her eyes were completely covered and ran straight down the stairs. When I made it to the bottom I noticed my mother was laying in a pool of blood holding hands with my grandmother who was laying there completely lifeless. 

  “Go” my mother said in a faint voice. While Micheal fought his hardest I ran straight for the garage and picked the first car I laid my eyes on, the black Bugatti Chiron that Michael received as a gift from a friend. Which also just so happens to be the fastest car in the world, perfect. I smashed the button to raise the garage door and put Shay in the passenger seat before tossing all our stuff in the trunk and getting in myself.

  I backed out of the garage with a quickness and took one last look at the house before speeding off. I have no idea where I’m going but I do know that I will do my best to figure out what in the actual f**k is going on.

  “Where we going?” Shaione asked with her head c****d to the side making me giggle at her cuteness.

  “Honestly kid, I don’t know but at least we got each other” I said ruffling her curls making her glare at me.

  “Hands off the merchandise” she said rolling her eyes barely saying the merchandise correctly. 

  Ten minutes into the ride and she’s already knocked out sleep, I wish I could be a kid again. I found an empty parking lot and pulled into it just to sit and think for a while. I don’t know where I’m going, I have little knowledge of what is going on, and why the hell do they keep referring to me as princess.
