Chapter 2: GONE

It felt as though time had stopped for a second all I could hear was my heartbeat, and my ears ringing. 

I then tried to focus my eyes after a few attempts I could see and started looking around. I tried to get up but failed I couldn't breathe, every attempt I made to breathe only resulted in me feeling pain. 

I then heard a growl. I then laid my elbow down and lifted myelf just enough to look around completely. 

"m... Da-" I try but I fail. I then cleared my throat and tried again. 

"Dad!" I yell but I knew it was barely audible. 

I then managed to get myself up. When I looked at my right arm I saw that it was broken so I held on to it and started limping. 

"Dad!"  I yell again no reply, please let him be okay. 

I then went into the bushes and next thing I saw was a huge black... dog? Growling at my father. 

When I looked over my father I felt my jaw drop he had wings. He literally had wings on his back and he also had tattoos written in symbols. 

"Dad?" I ask again. This time he looks at me shock written on his face and fear? 

The dog also looked at me for a second there we looked at each other before he growled in response I stumbled backwards. 

"Princess get out of here." my father says his voice completely changed it was deeper and it had an echo if we weren't in trouble I would be impressed. 

My dad then tried flying but the dog held on to his foot and yanked him down. In my heart I was scared that something would happen to my dad I need to help him I thought. 

Only when I tried to get closer the dog growled at me resulting in me halting in my steps. 

"Princess I said get out of here!"  I hadn't realized that I was crying until I felt tears rolling down my neck. 

I just shook my head over and over again

"N-no." 

"I love you."  he says I felt hopeless God please if you are there help him. Lord knows I wanted to help him but the pain was starting to set in everytime I moved I just felt pain. 

Just when I was hopeless my father's hands started glowing along with his eyes. Then the symbols on his body started changing shapes. The next thing I knew he released some sort of blinding blue light. 

This resulted in the dog releasing him. When the dog tried grabbing hold of my father he flew higher up. That's when the dog looked at me and started coming my way. 

I tried to move backwards but a branch tripped me in the process. I started crawling backwards but it wasn't doing anything since I was wounded and in pain. 

The dog then licked his mouth and started making it's way to me like I was prey. 

He didn't get far because my father came and stood in front of me. That's when his hands lit up and threw fire balls at the dog. Only the dog dodged it easily it was really fast. 

He threw the fire balls over and over again but kept missing. That's when suddenly everything went silent. When I looked around the dog wasn't there anymore. 

I tried to stand but I couldn't find myself to do it considering the pain I was in. That's when dad landed right in front of me. 

He started taking steps towards me, which resulted in me involuntarily crawling backwards. 

"Hey, it's just me princess." He lifts his hands up as if to show he means no harm. 

"What are you" I ask the question that is really bugging me. 

"I will explain it to you later now princess you are injured that's what's important right now." 

He then made his way towards me. He then kneeled in front of me, his hands started glowing again, extending his hands towards me. 

"I won't hurt you." he says while giving me a reassuring smile I guess he sensed my discomfort. 

Only before he could do anything he was yanked from where he was and was dragged to the ground. The dog was on top of him. 

"Dad!" I scream I tried to get up but I couldn't. I felt so useless I couldn't help my father. 

"Somebody help!" I start screaming for help only everytime I talked I felt an immense amount of pain, I could also taste blood in my mouth. 

I heard my father pleading but the dog just continued I could see blood pooling on the ground. In desperation I started throwing stones anything I could grap ahold of from the ground but it was no use. 

"Dad please no!" God why please help him help us. 

I wanted to stop looking but I couldn't bring myself to look away from it I watched as he teared my father from limb to limb. 

"Daddy." I let out a sob. 

That's when we heard a howl the dog then suddenly stopped and howled back, he looked at me and I could see blood all over its mouth,he then let out a little growl and he ran into the woods. 

I had no choice but to crawl towards my father, with every step I was taking the pain grew more, I could feel that my ribs were broken, so I took shallow breaths to lessen the pain. 

After some grueling minutes of crawling I finally made it to him. It felt as though I was losing a part of me. 

He was covered in blood God I could see his bones in plainsight along with some of his insides what did we do to deserve this. 

"Daddy." I whisper extending my shaking hands towards his face I was afraid to even touch him. 

"Dad please don't leave me." The tears just kept falling. Only he wasn't responding. 

"I love you so so much."  I whisper it to him telling him over and over again. 

That's when I saw a flash of light when I looked up I saw my father? I looked down then up. 

"Dad?" 

"Princess I'm afraid it's time for me to go but I will always look after you." 

"Please don't go I still need you."

"You don't need me my sweet child, I am proud of the woman you have become we will meet again sweetie but your job here is not done." 

"I need you to take that locket on my neck and keep it safe don't let it fall into the wrong hands." 

"Bu-" 

"Do as I say." 

I then took the locket and put it in my jacket. 

"And remember I love you." was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
