Chapter 9

Level 2:

My pulse started to race thinking about the horrors of this level. I was already having a difficult time trying to breathe in Hell’s thick, smelly air.

“Tell me about your parents,” Samuel asked. “Tell me what they were like. I’d really like to know more about them.”

That question threw me, but for a second as I thought back, it took my mind off of everything around us. All the events that happened over these past few days, really kept me from thinking about them. The parents that raised me, and loved me like I was their own. The only ones I’d ever known my whole life. The ones that were ripped away from me in an instant. I missed them. I missed them horribly.

As soon as he mentioned them, a flood of overwhelming emotion rushed through every part of me, awakening the wonderful memories, and also the horrors of their death. I couldn’t speak. Emotions kept the words down in my throat. I didn’t know what to say or where to begin. All I knew, from what I could remember up until the day they died, was that I loved them and they loved me.

“I’m sorry. You don’t have to tell me. I was just trying to distract you, and thought that if your mind was on something familiar, or on the ones that you loved, maybe it would help. But, if it will cause you too much pain, let’s think about something else,” he said.

“No, I think that’s a good idea.”

“Good then. The next gate is coming up.”

“Okay,” I breathed, and everything inside of me started to tremble.

“Some of the Fallen refer to this level as the Gate of Lost Souls,” he said, in a funny voice.

My pulse started to race, but as I thought about it, there wasn’t anything else that I could think of that would take my mind off of the now, like my parents. They would have wanted me to get through this. They taught me how to be strong.

I tried to envision them in my mind. Picture their beautiful faces smiling at me. Remember the smell of my mother’s hair, and my father’s cologne. Thinking of them holding each of my hands, walking me through this terrifying Gate of Lost Souls.

“Remember to keep your eyes on me at all times, Emma,” Samuel reiterated.

“I will,” I breathed, and my heart started to beat a little faster. Trails of sweat dripped from my brow.

We started into the dark tunnel, which was the next gate, but there nothing but darkness. I didn’t hear any noises or moving around, and for a second, thought this level was going to be easy. As we came out of the tunnel, into an area where there was some light, I kept my eyes on Samuel, who was a few feet in front of me. If I reached out, I could have touched him.

I just started to relax when there was movement from the corner of my eye. I suddenly felt heat on my chest, and as I glanced down, the Bloodstone was glowing bright red.
