(Heh, Neil will have hell to pay. xD)

The van drove for a while, taking the occasional dirt road through the woods and generally avoiding the highway. It kept driving until they reached a small facility in the woods, the sun unable to penetrate the thick canopy of leaves overhead. The angels got out and opened the back of the van, some of them going inside to get a stretcher while Jessebelle laid motionless on the floor.
"Did you kill it Alex?" One of the tall male angels spoke lightly to a younger female one, loading Jessebelle onto the stretcher with ease.
"No, I gave her a love tap." The female angel laughed, grabbing the stretcher and wheeling it inside.
The inside of the facility was like a hospital except that instead of regular doctors, the doctors here were either angels or demons.
The angels wheeled Jessebelle into a pure white room save for the shackles on the floor and wall, kept in place with more than just metal. Taking her off the stretcher, the female angel hung Jessebelle's lifeless body from the shackles with her toes just barely touching the white tiled floor and the shackles cutting into her wrists.
"Night night sweet pea." The male angel laughed, dragging the stretcher and the female angel out of the room.

Reluctantly Neil walked back through a portal that lead home where jessebelle's father was already waiting for him with a look of anger on his face. "This is strike two, servant boy. You've let someone kidnap my daughter!" A flaming whip appeared in his hands and Neil felt himself lifted up into the air as he felt himself start to get what he apparently deserved. And this time he agreed with him. He was supposed to watch out for her and he had failed. As the pain of being whipped and the flames crossed across his back burning up his jacket Neil looked at the bracelet she had given him. "I'm sorry mistress. I will find you." He silently promised.

When Jessebelle finally awoke, her regular clothes were gone and she was in a long nightgown that hung just barely past her knees. Someone had changed her out of her clothes, just her street clothes, and hung her back on the wall with her feet touching the floor this time.
Looking around purposefully, Jessebelle saw that there wasn't a single window in the room. She was trapped like a rat in a cage. Where the hell am I? She managed to get her foggy brain to focus on that one thought, trying to figure exactly where she was and how many people were here.
Suddenly the door handle started rattling, scaring the shit out of Jessebelle. Don't come in, don't come in. She thought desperately, the door handle stopping a couple seconds later. Whew. Jessebelle smiled to herself, wondering why they didn't come in.
A couple seconds after the first guy tried to get in, another came right in.
"Hello Darling." The male "doctor" said, a large smile on his face. "We have brought you here to do some "experiments"." He motioned for some of the people behind him to come in, at least 5 of them in total. They came in one by one, the first one holding a syringe and the second one wheeling a stretcher. The girl that had the fiery red hair came up to Jessebelle and stuck the syringe in her neck, injecting her with some kind of drug that made her brain sluggish and immobilized her body. The other two guys unshackled Jessebelle and set her on the stretcher, wheeling her out of the room and to the hallway.

Neil sat in his room healing the bruises on his body. "This is not easy to do by myself. Where is that Dragon of mine?" A small stuffed Dragon crawled from under Neil's pillow and bit him on the arm. "Ow! Damn it Naga I meant heal. not meal! Heal!" The Dragon sat down and looked at him with its button eyes as if confused. "Nevermind. I'll take care of it." A green field of energy surrounded the undead boy healing his wounds but tiring him out. Neil lied down on the bed and Naga climbed onto his stomach with some bread in its mouth from Neil's secret stash of food. "Hey give me that!" Neil took the bread out of the dragons mouth and ate it, feeling his strength returning. "Now how are we gonna find the mistress?" He asked the dragon as he stood up and Naga flew into the air to hover next to him as he put a new set of clothes on.

Rolling Jessebelle down the hallway, she desperately tried to get in touch with Neil. If I ever get out of this I need Neil to teach me how to use magik.... She thought to herself, beginning to lose her train of thought again. Neil, please help me. Jessebelle managed to get the thought through before her brain became too foggy to get a single rational thought through.
They wheeled Jessebelle into a pure white room with a large window on one wide next to a door. If you looked through the window you would see a cross with shackles hanging on both sides and down at the bottom, presumably to hang someone from. They brought her to the cross and shackled her to the cross, bringing the stretcher back inside.
"Jessebelle dear, this test will test your resistance and reaction to pain." The "doctor" said, motioning for another man to step up and begin. The man was holding a shining whip, the whip looked like it held magic of some kind. "This whip is double the pain of a normal whip, and it makes sure your wounds can't heal magically." The "doctor smiled, motioning for the man to start.
The first whip took Jessebelle by surprise, waking her brain up with agony. "GAHHHHHH." She screamed, tears already welling up in her eyes,

Neil somehow heard in his room jessebelle's voice and he nodded to stay he understood. "Yes mistress." He said as he put his hood up and opened a portal. "To the mistress, wherever she may be." He said as he ate another small loaf of bread. He would need the energy since he these emergency portals he could use to save her took a lot out of him and he had no idea who would be there to fight him. Naga landed on his shoulder as he stepped through the portal into the room where she was being held, a cruel smile twisted on his lips. "Would you be so kind as to return my mistress? She needs to return home now."

Jessebelle was bloody and half-conscious when Neil arrived, bloody slashes on her arms, torso, and legs. "N...." She tried whispering his name, the whip coming down on her torso again.
"Well, we can't let that happen." The male "doctor" said, wings sprouting from his back a couple seconds later. "I believe she belongs to us now because she was in our territory." He continued, rising a few feet in the air menacingly.
The other man continued to whip Jessebelle, unconcerned about the young male teen that had just arrived.

"Naga. Fire." Neil ordered, pointing at the man who was whipping jessebelle. Finally taking orders from him the Dragon opened its mouth and out spewed a blast of fire at the man, burning at least his back. Neil jumped into the air after the other man and held himself upside down by his legs using a bar connecting two parts of the ceiling. "Unless you wish to suffer the same fate I suggest you let me take her back peacefully." He said.

The man that had been whipping Jessebelle fell to the ground, dead.
"Hm.... Let me think..." The male angel took off down the hallway, leaving the other two angels in the room. They took one look at Neil and followed their leader down the hallway, leaving just Jessebelle, Neil, and the dead man in the room.
"Neil?" Jessebelle asked, convinced that she was hallucinating.

Neil jumped down and walked over to jessebelle, getting her down and gently carrying her in his arms. "It's okay mistress. I'm here. Let's get out of here." Naga landed on Neil's shoulder again as he opened another portal and walked towards it.

Hissing when she was taken down, Jessebelle laid her sweaty face on Neil's shoulder. As they were walking towards the portal, one of the angels came back and snuck up to Neil and Jessebelle with a syringe, jumping in front of them and injecting it into Jessebelle's bloodstream with a smile. "Have fun you two, you don't have much time left." The female angel smiled, taking off back down the hallway.

Angry, Neil put jessebelle in bed after walking through the portal and ran back to the other side after the woman. "Come back here!" He yelled. "What did you do to the mistress?!"

By the time Neil had gotten back through the portal the woman was already gone and the rest of the angels had put explosives all throughout the building. The first of many explosions echoed through the empty hallways, a series of explosions following suit and getting closer by the minute.

Neil heard the explosions and ran in the opposite direction back to the portal once he realized they were getting closer.with a jump he was back in her room and Neil turned around using his magic to close the portal.

Jessebelle looked up as Neil jumped into the room, the explosions close on his heels. He managed to close the portal just as the last explosion was being set off, the sound of it reverberating through her room. "I-I'm s-sorry N-neil." Jessebelle struggled to get the sentence out, the stuff that the female angel had given her messing her up even more.


(How about that Jessebelle's father is searching for Neil and he comes into the room to see if he is in there and he also see's Jessebelle looking deathly pale on the bed. You can make up what the female angel gave Jessebelle.)

Neil smiled at her. "It's quite alright mistress. I will do anything to protect you." He said. Just then her father entered the room looking for Neil and saw how pale jessebelle had become. Putting a hand on her forehead he felt that she was running a high fever as a purple fluid was flowing through her arm. "Poison. Servant boy bring your arm here." Neil held his arm out with his sleeve rolled up and watched as her father summoned a syringe and stuck it in jessebelle's arm, draining the poison out. Sending that away he used a new one to draw blood from Neil and put it in her, then left. "She will be fine. Give her a little while to recover."

Jessebelle looked at her father while he was taking the poison out of her body, Neil standing next to him. Yawning, she let her head rest on the pillow, the wounds all across her arms, legs, and torso still bleeding and stinging. "Neil, who were those people." She asked weakly from the blood loss.

"Angels, mistress. Although I can't imagine why they'd suddenly attack you." He said as he tended to her wounds, tears filling his eyes. "I'm sorry you were hurt so much. This is all my fault, mistress. It's bad enough that I failed to protect you, but if it happens again I'll be ki-" Neil stopped himself before he finished his sentence.

"So angels are real too." Jessebelle smiled pitifully, clearly still in pain from the whips. "Do you think you can heal my wounds like you did when I broke my wrist?" She asked, not really hearing his second statement.

Neil's hands began to glow bright green as he concentrated his magic energy on them, touching each of her wounds to heal them and then quickly moving his hand away. "There. That should do it." He said.
