Joora's chest heaved as she gasped for air. Waves of pain like a thousand needles traveled up and down her body. She felt someone trying to pick her up and felt Belial nuzzle in close. She managed to wrap her arms around him and pull him to her bosom. She held him close and as tightly if she could. She couldn't protect him in Heaven and she sure as hell couldn't protect him here, but at least he had Jewel now. She wasn't sure about Lucifer since they had not formally met. All she knew of him was that he was Lucifel's twin and in love with Jewel.
Visions of Lucifel's blood red eyes and hyena form danced in her head. He seemed to be mouthing something to her but couldn't make out what it was. She kept feeling the trees and their sharp branches cutting and clawing at her and felt herself thrashing to get away.
She knew that she would have to wake up soon. Belial had to be scared, especially after all the bullshit Lucifel attempted to spoonfeed him and she would have a great deal of explaining to do. She had to wake up. She needed to explain what they did to Belial. They needed to find the treasure he kept hidden. Needed to make him older so he could control his feelings.
She became coherent enough to whisper to Belial. "I need you to trust them...for me if for no other reason. They will not harm you..."
Her last words trailed off as she passed out, her naked form sprawled out on the ground, her arms falling to the ground, and the glow around her wings beginning to fade.
