She flew over the rocky terrain, breathing in the fresh air. Her blackened wings flapped gently, pulling her above the ground and towards the clouds. She folded in her wings as she got closer to the ground. She landed on her feet gently. She walked around a little, relishing the cold breeze flying through the summer air. She found a patch of yellow wild roses and picked one.
She heard a flapping noise behind her, turning to look. Nothing but a bluebird. She went back to walking around. When the sun started to set, she turned to go back. She got closer to the edge of the mountain, about to open her wings. A hand wrapped around her waist, locking her arms at her sides. Another hand snaked around her neck, holding a knife to the sensitive flesh.
“Teague! Let me go!”
A tinkling laugh echoed in her ears.
“Sorry to disappoint Devin, but it's not Teague. Or do you not remember?”
“Amber?”
“Good angel! Now stay still. Or I'll cut you.”
Devin stayed still as Amber released her arms. She felt a tug at her neck before Amber held up the necklace.
“No! That's mine!”
Amber laughed again.
“Be honest with me Devin. Birdboy gave this to you. But we both know you don't deserve it, right?”
Devin closed her eyes, tears sliding past.
“Right,” she whispered.
“See? So keep calm. This necklace belongs to me now. And soon so will everything else that you currently own.”
Amber placed a hand to Devin's back. The angel gasped as she felt her wings grow cold and hard.
“My dearest Devin, your wings are now crystals. So the question is do I push you off the cliff and send you back to Hell or do I keep you alive to have you watch as I steal everything from you?”
Devin whimpered as the knife dug into her skin.
“Oh you know I can't get enough of that sound! So...alive you shall be. But only until I take everything that is yours. Starting with this necklace and ending with your angel's life.”
