Forgotten Saviours

She brushed away the cobwebs and the dust collected over the years. She had

found it! The famous Pendant of Angelo Cuduto. She blinked her disbelieving eyes

and reached out towards it. And darkness shrouded her. . . .

Hey! A loud masculine voice penetrated through the haze. Elena groaned.

Her eyes lids felt like they were glued together. What are you doing here? The

voice seemed much closer and suddenly, Elena could feel hands lifting her. . . She

woke up shivering, grumbling incessantly about ridiculous weather. Have I died?

Elena looked around at her new surroundings with astonishment. Her purple walls

and posters had been replaced by a white washed blank wall. Just then, someone,or something dumped a wet cloth over her forehead, covering her sight.

She gasped and hurriedly lifted the cloth; only to come face to face with an

enormous wheel. Her eyes travelled up slowly. . . . to gaze upon the monstrous form

of the largest robot she had ever seen. It towered close to two meters tall: sleek,

black and dangerous. Elena gasped. What have I gotten into now? She turned-tail

and sprinted towards the exit. It was smiling. Elena collided into what seemed like a

wall.

She stumbled as she took in the huge bulk of the man standing cross-armed

in front of her, dressed in an expensive black tuxedo. It was a like a stern

bodyguard straight from a movie. What happened to Alpha?His Italian accent

was slightly tangible but somehow, his voice seemed monotonous, detached.

Alpha?Elena stuttered. Her face frowned with concentration as she tried to make

sense of his strange phrasing of words.

Dont! The sound was a warning. Dont what? she asked. You show

emotion? The man replied her question with another; his voice holding a tinge of

curiousity. He maintained his poker face, however. Elenas composure snapped.

Stop it! She practically screamed at him. He seemed stunned and his face

momentarily betrayed his shock before it reverted back to that expression again.

Alpha. His voice was a command. Yes master. The robot answeredobediently in a mechanical voice. Elena could hear wheels gliding over the floor

behind her. The girl has not regained her wits. Yes master, came the droning

voice again. Wait! Elena clutched at the mans arm as the robot tried to pull her

away.

Who are you? What is this place? She fired questions at him. You really

are not lying, are you? His gaze searched hers intently for a few long moments.

Im Christien, a Salvatore. This, he swept an arm to indicate their surroundings,

is Angelo Cudoto, the home of the fallen. Angelo Cudoto, Elenas voice was a

whisper. So its not a legend after all. A legend? He sounded amused. In my

world, she supplied.

What did they say about us in that world of yours? Christien enquiredquietly. Nothing, Elena replied. Only that you left us long ago. Christien stepped

back for a moment and Elena realized that this revelation had probably bothered

his kind for years.
