The smell of roses filled the air while the chirping of birds were audible. A woman sat in the field, running one of her hands through her hair and curling a strand of it around her finger, smelling each flower and studying it's characteristics.
'Noelle'
The field of roses started to die, the red petals falling from their source of life. Noelle looked down to her right arm, which now was covered in a crimson liquid, and jumped to her feet. The world around her began to swirl and she stumbled around, grasping for any form of life she could hold. Her body became weak and she fell to the ground, laying there helplessly.
'Noelle...Wake up.'
A harsh, bright light shinned in her eyes and her body trembled. As her sight adjusted to the new surroundings, she could spot out people wearing light blue clothing, standing around her. They were muttering about the surgery, but their attention was now towards her. " She's awake... " A woman whispered, tugging on the shirt of an older man. A harsh pain took over Noelle's body as she fully woke up. Her wrist were strapped down and she was helpless. " Stay calm Noelle, we are almost done... " The man removed his scalpel from her arm and grabbed a small chip like device. " Deep breathes Noelle... " The clicking sound of a machine pushing nitrous oxide into her nose. Noelle's vision became blurry as she struggled to stay awake.
" Ugh... " Noelle's hands pressed to her head as she slowly got up. Thick, cement walls separated the many 'test rats' in the building, but there was one glass wall. Each glass wall had an opening so one of the workers could slip food to them. Noell pushed herself up against the corner of the walls and looked through the class. Her arms were wrapped in gauze and she shook, rocking back in forth, and muttering words to herself.

(Okay, cool.) A young girl was in there, unconsious. She had loops in her hair, held in by a ribbon. Finally, she was wearing purple and white robes.
A very young girl, only about 8 or 9, entered the facility with a few scientists. Her look of innocence was cute, charming even. "So what exactly do you need an angel's help for?" She asked curiously. Her wings were almost comically too large for her body. She had yet to grow into them.
She never saw one of the scientists behind her grab a tranq-filled gun. It was too late when she noticed the rooms of people, obviously held there against their will and in various states of well being. She tried to run, but they were ready. Isobel was put down with the tranq gun and carried to an empty cell, one across from Noelle's. "Can you believe the luck?" One scientist asked incredulously. The other only chuckled. "Luck sent straight from the heavens."

Noelle's eyes watched the whole scene and she felt a slight bit of pity for the girl. A tingling sensation crawled up her wrist and a quick zap went to her body as she showed emotion towards the girl. The group of men walked out of the door, leaving the three alone. " What did a girl like you do to deserve to get into this hell? " She ran one of her fingers around the edges of the glass, " Sleeping beauty over there barely knows what's happening it appears... " Her eyes lifted from the corner and to Isobel, " But you are quite the exquisite 'creature' I must say... " Noelle studied her, then her eyes went back to the girl sleeping, and back to the corner which her finger traced.
Isobel herself was barely conscious. She managed to crawl closer to the glass though. "Hell? Is this hell?" A fearful look entered her eyes. "I thought I was still on Earth. Where are the demons?" All she had seen were humans. She had no idea what was going on.
The girl was eventually thrown into the cell next to the angel, yet to wake up. It could be noticed she had been crying.
A smile spread across Noelle's face and she let a small laugh escape from her. " Hell is any place or anywhere a human is.. " The clicking noise of the men unlocking the door was loud and they walked in, carrying a small tray of what looked to be needles and such.
'The winged one, the test rat, and the spirit girl..' One man muttered this to the guy walking besides him. There were about seven men in the room. " It seems to be your lucky day. " A teenage boy walked towards Isobel and the glass wall disappeared. Two men went behind her and grabbed her, pulling her out from the cell. Next they did the same to Noelle and then to Pearl, even though they were dragging her. The teenage boy went behind Isobel, a needle in his hand. He ran his fingers along her wings, " The first one of you I've been able to touch... But you must have a disadvantage... A blind bird may have problems flying.. "
Noelle's eyes looked over to the boy, then to the men behind her. What would she do when it came to this?

Isobel tilted her head and gave the girl a confused look. "That's not what I was taught..." She turned at the sound of the click trying to see what was going on. Isobel backed away as they came into her cell but there was no where to run and they pulled her out anyways. If only she had practiced more fighting instead of healing! She struggled as much as she could, but what good was a little girl struggling against two grown men?
Isobel shuddered in disgust as the boy touched her wings. And then panic as he talked so calmly about blinding her. "No!" Without even thinking about it, two balls of blue light gathered on each hand and stunned the men holding her. She ran but didn't get far as the boy reached out and grabbed one of her wings. Isobel stopped, not wanting the wing to break, and the two men stood back up. She tried bringing the blue light again but it wasn't working.

A snicker slid out of the boys mouth. " I've dealt with some almost like your kind and each one of you have something interesting. " His fingers ran down to the girls back to fell where the wing met her. " Sir we need to go. " The boy nodded his head and grabbed the syringe and needle on the tray. Sliding the needle into the syringe, he tapped the glass, making sure there were no bubbles, and moved the girls hair aside. " I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not. "
Noelle's eyes twitched as she heard the conversation and she clenched her fist. Don't do it.. She thought to herself, but in the end she wanted to do it. It wasn't so much to make herself feel better by helping the girl, but to fulfill her thirst for death. In a quick move, Noelle spun around and delivered a strike and a jab straight into the face of one of the workers. The next one ran towards her and struck Noelle in the stomach and she stumbled. Jumping into the air, Noelle wrapped her legs around the mans neck and the two fell down. The sound of cracking was audible as Noelle finished the mans life. She sprung to her feet and looked at Isobel, she could either make a break for her own or help her.

((Eh, I should probably warn you Isobel's fighting skills at this point are not good...))
The boy looked up to see the commotion and Isobel took advantage of his lapse in awareness. She twisted away from him and pushed him into the tray where there were still several needles. She backed away from him, her fists tight. She went closer to the other girl, avoiding looking at the guys she had killed and watched the advance of the other men. "What do we do now..?" She asked the girl anxiously.

[ I probably won't have time to reply this weekend since I'm at a show, just to let you guys know! ]
(No worries. )
Noelle clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, looking out the door.. " The only thing we can do, run. " Noelle grabbed the younger girls shirt and tugged her along as she started at a run through the door. The facility was large and complex, but not inescapable. Even if the two fled, they would still be on the top of everyone's list to capture and the government would be on the case to find them. " Down this hall and to the right is a keyboard... Enter the code 193072... There will be one guard near the door.. " Noelle said as she stopped, " Yell at me when you finish opening it. " She gave the girl a shove to go forward in the direction as people came running down the hall towards her. " I'm counting on you. " She mumbled and took her ground as the men got closer.
Isobel stumbled as she was pulled forward by her shirt and ran with the other girl. Their footsteps echoed through the facility, and were soon joined by the footsteps of others come to stop them. Isobel kept her wings in tight to keep them from catching on anything they ran by. She hadn't noticed at first when the girl stopped, so she was a few steps ahead when she paused to turn around. "Right. 193072." Isobel spared a glance at the men running towards them before turning and running down the hallway. "193072. 193072." She said over and over again to remember the sequence. She was out of breath by the time she finally reached the keypad. The light above it turned green and there was a click. "Hey, I got it!" She shouted down the hallway, waiting anxiously for the girl to show.
After a few moments of silence, Noelle came jogging down the hall, slightly limping on her right leg. Her hands were covered with blood and her shirt had a few tears in it. She let a small smile take over her face, " Good job kiddo... Nice to know that we both haven't died yet. " She stepped through the door and another small panel was in front of them. Noelle leaned forward, to an eye scanner, and her right eye changed to the right match. Pulling away as the door opened, the foot steps became more audible. Noelle squatted down to the girl, " Whatever happens, you keep running until your heart nearly stops. " She slipped a card into the young girls palm. " The last step is a door, slid the card in and wait a few seconds. Once It's opened enough take the card out. The doors will close once the card is removed. " A loud shot ringed through both their ears as the men had returned, guns pointed to the two girls. " Run. " Noelle muttered as she gave the girl a soft push forward and began to follow her. Once through the doors, Noelle slammed her hand into the scanner, and the door proceeded to close. She looked back at the girl, hoping that she could at least free herself without any harm being done to herself, and was met by another stinging pain in her arm.
