Chapter 73
Damned Angel“Well what can I say Ong”, Jisung said, “I finally found a place I belong. As for you, little girl”, he turned his attention to me, “I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he sees you tomorrow… Have a good night you two”, Jisung left the room. “Was he always such an ?”, I asked. “No, that’s what happens when you join The Fallen”, Seongwoo said. The door swung open again. Jisung was back, “Change of plans lovebirds, he has arrived”. My heart pounded in my chest as terror filled my veins. This was it; the leader of the fallen had arrived. We were not going to get rescued. I looked out, waiting to see who, my entire reason for living in fear, was. “Can you see him?”, Seongwoo asked. My vision was blurry. All I could see was his silhouette. His voice was blurred too, “I have been waiting a long time for you Tris”. This can’t be happening. They had already captured us once before.

It was getting harder to breathe with each step he took towards me. “Finally”, he said, “We are all alone”. I could almost hear the sinister smirk behind his muffled voice. He placed his hands around my neck and pressed his thumbs down on my throat. I began to gasp for every bit of air I could gather, but it was not enough. I reached for his hands, but like all other fallen angels before him, he was too strong for me. He finally let go of me and I tried to breathe again, but the scent in the air was too strong; it choked me. I was not sure what that fragrance was. It was not a bad smell, so why did it cause a burn in my air passages? “Our play time is over for now”, he chuckled, “It’s your pretty boy angel
