Ficool

Chapter 15 - Chapter 16: Saving the Mortal

((LOCATION: WOODS))

Angel was running into the woods as fast as he could. Even though his legs hurt, he still needed to save Elendil. He panted and could see the van still driving away.

Angel stopped and groaned in weariness. He couldn't believe he was doing this for a damn human child. He sighed and stood up straight, looking around to see no one was nearby.

He spread his wings, some feathers starting to fall. He jumped into the sky and started scanning around to see the truck. He then started flying as fast as he could to keep up with the van.

The van was heading toward the village. Angel was in disbelief; he couldn't show his identity, especially when it was obvious. He turned to take another route without getting caught by the villagers.

The van stopped at a warehouse in the corner where no one was around. The rain continued to pour loudly. He couldn't see properly because he was so soaked. Angel flew behind a building, hiding his wings.

Angel peeked and saw some of them pulling Elendil and making their way inside the warehouse. Angel sighed and sneaked around. He saw an open window, it was small; he could probably fit in it.

He climbed the wall trying to fit into the small window. Suddenly, he got stuck. Angel was embarrassed; he blushed slightly, groaning as he tried to escape. Since he was soaked with water, the window started getting slippery and he fell to the ground.

Angel: "Haaaaa... Eughh.. Ouch." Groans and stood up.

Angel then heard the others walking. He hid behind the boxes. He saw two creatures (a bat and a cat) talking to each other about stuff. While they're distracted, Angel sneaked behind them, but suddenly, he slipped! because the floor was too slippery. Angel groaned.

Bat: "Did you headed that?" Concern

Cat: "Yeah.. I think it's behind us-"

The two creatures looked behind them to see no one. Confused. Angel was hiding behind one of the shelves. He hated that he suddenly became clumsy in one of the most important missions.

Bat: "It must be one of the boxes that fell.."

Cat: "Probably, but I'm too lazy to clean it. The other's will just do the job for us" sighs.

The two creatures left. Angel sighed and continued sneaking, avoiding them and hiding too. While sneaking, he saw a rat! He gasped loudly, stepped back, and fell into one of the sacks of coal.

Angel: "Ah.. Eughh.. Damn it." He sighed, now dirty with coal dust.

Angel's clothes were covered in dust. He stood up and tried to remove the dust, but it only made it worse. His face was also dirty, he was soaked and now covered in dust.

Angel: "I hate my life.. Can't believe I'm doing this for a mortal... Great... Just great."

Angel decided to ignore it and continue making his way. But which way? He lost track because of the rat that scared him. He wanted to scream in frustration. He pulled his hair tightly and tried to make a plan.

He saw a vent above him. He wondered how to get in. He noticed a pile of sacks of more coal stacked together. It was the perfect height to reach the vent. He groaned even more but had no choice. He climbed the pile of coal, getting even dirtier, which he hated the most.

He reached the vent, but it was locked with metal nails...

Angel: "EUGHHHHHHHH!!" He sighed. He banged his head against the wall in frustration.

Angel jumped off, already covered with dust. He then heard someone coming in. He had nowhere to hide aside from the sacks of coal. He cursed and immediately hid inside the sacks.

After a few minutes, they left. Angel coughed as he got out of the sack.

Angel: coughs "I'm not an idiot, I could've just hidden behind it, not in it.. AHHH!!" He covered his mouth, hoping no one heard him. He sighed in relief.

Angel decided to follow the creatures.

((LOCATION: BASEMENT))

Elendil was sitting on the cold floor, tied up, sobbing softly.

Elendil: "I can't believe this is happening to me.. Hick.. Oh well, I deserve this anyways. I'm nothing but a piece of trash.. Uwahh. No one's gonna save me anyways.. Why even care?" he said sadly.

Elendil sighed. He pouted and tried to look for something that could help him escape...Something, anything... but nothing.

Elendil groaned.

Elendil: "Someone will save me, right? Especially Angel.. Neptur..."

Silence...

-----------------------------------------------

Angel finally sneaked around the guards. It took him a long time. He sighed and saw a suspicious door labeled 'Basement'. Angel decided to sneak into the door. He grabbed the knob and tried to open it, but it was locked. Angel sighed and looked around for something.

He had no choice but to bang into the door even though it made a lot of noise. Then, the door finally opened. He panted and heard someone running in the distance. Angel immediately went in and locked the door. He could hear people mumbling outside, they were suspicious.

Angel decided to ignore that and went down; it was getting darker every second. Once he reached the end of the basement, he searched for a switch. When he found one, he turned it on, only to see nothing but boxes.

Angel sighed and looked around. He heard someone sobbing in the corner. Angel to look to see Elendil.

Angel: eyeswiden "Elendi!.." Signs in relief..."Thank God."

Elendil: "Huh? ANGEL-!!"

Angel covered Elendil's mouth to keep him quiet.

Angel: "Shhhh, be quiet.. I'll help you untie."

Elendil sniffed and nodded. He watched as Angel started untying him. After a minute, Angel finally untied him.

Elendil: sighs in relief, hugs Angel around the neck "Thank you! I thought I was going to die in here." Sobs softly

Angel: "Get off me! Eugh.. It's not time for touchy touchy.. Get up and let's find an exit first."

Elendil nodded and wipes his tears, got up, and followed Angel as they headed upstairs. They sneaked out, trying to be as quiet as possible.

Elendil: "By the way. What happened to you? You look like-"

Angel: "Eughh.. Be quiet, will you?? You don't want us to get caught, yeah?"

Elendil: "Sorry.. I can't help but feel curious," he said with an awkward smile.

But while they were sneaking… someone behind them saw them.

????: "HEY!!" Says it angrily.
