Cold
It's cold
I felt my bones chattered
I tried to draw my limbs closer to my body but was met with restraints.
It's metal
What's going on? "Mhmmgg", panic ensued as I struggled against the fabric in my mouth.
"Oh goodness you're awake I guess it is time "
Mary?
I struggle harder against my restraints
"It's ok dear we won't be torturing you anymore plus that drug is suppose to keep you sleep for a month. Sooner or later it won't work anymore".my heart sped it up causing me to dry heave.
"While it makes me so very upset, we have not use for you anymore". I felt a hand at the base of my stomach and shivered. I'm naked?! My already racing heart incited a panic attack.
"Oh calm down you dont even remember any of it anyway. Well hopefully, although you won't be too happy seeing the mark I bet", she snickered. "Well since your up might as well expedite your exit".
A bell sound went off and heavy footsteps followed. I tried to pull harder against my restraints but cried out as felt one break skin. "I'm not repeating myself calm down. You're lucky I'm not just killing you." That can't be Mary, she would never do this to me. She wouldn't she just wouldn't.
The heavy footstep got closer and a what sounded like door burst open cause of me to yelp. "Take her to the portal I'll meet you there".
What is she talking about? Multiple hand began to touch me and I screamed. "Shut up!" A sharp and sudden pain on my cheek silenced me.

I finished the last bit of paperwork and decided to lay down. My back has been bothering me ever since the kidnapping incident. What idiot decides to kidnap children here of all places. I flopped down on my window seat and stared at the blank sky. The moon hadn't appear yet meaning it's probably around midday. I know I have a meeting right when the moon rises so maybe I have enough time to nap. As if right on que to interrupt my peace my assistant, Marci, barged in.
"Marci what did we discuss about knocking". Her usually soft baby face tense cup in disgust. "Whatever what is it". "There's an angel being set down. the portal is being prepared. She'll be here in about 20 minutes."
I groaned. Why today I want a nap! "Her profile please". I looked through the brown folder.
Oh she's s high ranking officer. My face turned sour as I realized her profile was other wise empty. Even parentage is left blank. I looked to find her offense to see it also left blank. "Marci is this all there is?". She shrug her shoulders. I sighed, "well whatever we'll just ask. Is a living area being arranged". "Yes Lucifer".
I nodded and she dismissed herself. What is Mary doing sending someone down here so suddenly? I have other things to do!
The fly to the portal was tiring. This was ridiculous and an explanation better follow this mess. The portals howl made me take a few steps back. The grounds shook as the gully opened

I was being hanged upside down and fear radiated in my bones. "I'm going to miss you Laytonya you were my favorite. I enjoyed your company your a truly sweet girl". Nails pieced my skin as my blindfold and the cloth in my mouth was snatch off revealing Mary's smirking face. I looked down and my heart stoped. "No Mary please! Please don't do this what did I do? I don't understand! I thought you were my friend please Mary let me go!"
She turned from walking towards a door. "Wait no don't leave me please Mary don't leave me!" I began to sob.
A wretched smile covered her face as she looked over her shoulder. I had never seen such a look. "I just don't need you anymore, drop her". I couldn't even scream as I was let go. Everything was a lie. Her compassion, her love, even that sweet smile. No one loved me.

My patience was running thin. It had been five minutes since the portal opened. Counting the trees was beginning to become irritating. I walked towards the eye of the portal hoping to see something falling. I squinted my eyes as a a tiny dot grew bigger a bigger. Finally my goodness, I immediately flinched as a small water droplet touched my face. "Ugh I hope that's water." A human shape took form and it looked a little odd. This person was rather limp. Shocked, I realized this person wasn't conscious. I scurried to find the area they would land. "You've really picked the best time to faint". Two long braids became clear as well as the sound of metal as a few feet stood between contact.
A woman? She land abruptly into my arms. A chilling sensation ran through my spine. The portal began to close and I quickly got out the way.
I laid her gently onto the grass examined her to confirm my suspicion. My eyes were immediately drawn to the fresh wound on her face and chained hands. Her dark skin was covered in black bruises. As I looked closer panic insured. I put an ear to her chest and heard a faint heart beat.
"she's alive good, ok healer I need healers". I formed the com-bubble to contact the nearest healer. Familiar red kinky hair and pale freckled skin formed in the blue bubble". "Fran! Good it's you I need help. I'm by the portal." I immediately hung up and kept listening to her heart beat get quieter and quieter. Shallow breathes coming from her mouth.
I ripped of a bit of my tee shirt and casted a water spell. After clearing some of the blood the wound turned out to be shallow. Fast footsteps approached and I immediately knew is was Fran. She stopped in from if me huffing, she was never that athletic. "Glad your here this woman-"
"You got sum darn nerves calling me like that and you didn't even tell me which side of the portal do you know I ran around this whole fucking portal looking for you. Now move and get yo nasty shirt off of her before she gets an infection. Jesus she's bruised up!"
My dear friend Fran what would I be without her.
"Her breathing and heart beat are severely slow." She placed an ear on her chest. A few seconds went by before she nodded and prepared to cast a spell
"Frenzies occur before our eyes and blood shed brings up sorrow. The piercing pain of the knife and an angels heart is finished. Master of serenity aid me in my calling, the heart of another will surely diminish."
Her right hand turned green a produce greenery and flowers. She placed that hand on the woman's chest and put the other on top and pressed into her chest rhythmically.
Healing magic always amazed me.
"Her heart rate is coming back up I'm gonna heal the wound on her face" I simply nodded and watched. Unfortunately this magic ain't for me.
She stopped pressing into her chest and and the plants started to to wilt away.
The woman's breathing sounded natural again. "Thanks Fran your a life saver", she flicked my forehead and went off to where ever she was going.
I picked up the women, "I should probably take her to the recovery center".
