When Jules had taken her to Hell, Ilyana had found some strange solace in sitting by the banks of the river of fire, watching the screaming souls within, the agony something that she found completely intriguing. Now, trapped in the hell in her own mind, she sat beside the riverbank just outside of Wing City, her legs tucked up beneath her. Normal people would have seen just a simple riverbank, the questionably polluted water flowing by at a fairly rapid rate. To Ilyana, however, it was almost exactly like the river of fire in Hell… Within the currents, she could see the faces of the damned. While normal people would hear the calls of riverbirds, Ilyana heard only the screams of agony, of torment.

It was still winter, and while Ilyana had planted herself firmly in a melting bank of snow, she didn’t notice the cold or the damp that had seeped through the jeans she wore. Granted, it was warm enough for the snow to melt, the river to run freely, but there was a bite in the air that warranted a normal person more cover than the black tank top Ilyana wore. She should be freezing… but in her reality, it was hot as… well… Hell.

In her hands, she clutched her camera and occasionally, she would attempt to capture pictures of what she saw, frowning down at the viewfinder when the shot that she’d taken of a particularly tortured soul showed only a partially submerged candy-wrapper being swept downstream in the strong current. She continued her attempts, however, certain that one would show her reality… so that she could prove to others that she wasn’t insane…

Never one for self-pity, Ilyana was giving in. Maybe she was insane. Maybe she was just another one of those tortured souls. Maybe she should throw herself into the river of fire… to join them… to scream in agony for the rest of eternity. But why didn’t the camera show it?
