Warriors (Destined Series 2)

Chapter 5 Run, Think, Jump, SMACK!

Damon's POV

We left the castle and didn't tell anyone. Lucy will be pissed, which means Caleb will be pissed, which means we are going to fight.

We've been walking for a good couple hours. Taylor's eyes are still glowing, I havn't said anything about it again in fear she would shut me out again. They are beatiful, it's like they shine with beauty, and the sorce of the beauty is hidden just beneath her eyes.

"Where are we going?" I tried again to find out. We were still walking at brisk a pace, not slowing since we started.

But I got the same answer. "To visit a friend."

"What friend?" I asked.

"An old friend."

"Like wrinkly old or..."

"As in, I known her a long time. Longer than Lucy."

That was new. Maybe she would keep answering my questions. "Why are we going to find your friend?"

"So I can find an ancient sword that God made and now wants me to find, that kills any supernatural creature with a single stab and get it before a demon does." She answered.

I started to laugh. God? Really? She still must be out of it. And there is no such thing

as the acient sword. "Lets get you home." I said while still laughing at her. I grabbed her arm to hault her.

Next thing I knew she flipped me to the ground and stepped on my kneck with her boot. Her eyes shined bright and it felt like looking into headlights. I was unable to move or put up a fight.

"Isn't this.... familiar?" She said looking me up and down. "Have you not learned not to touch me?" She pushed harder on my neck. "Especially if you laugh at me and think I'm crazy. I don't need nor want you here. If you don't believe me that's fine, just get out of my way. And under any circumstances do you ever tell me what to do. I'm older than I look, I can take care of myself. And you couldn't take me home unless you grow wings." She let up on the pressure on my neck and kicked me where the sun don't shine. "No touching rule." She tsked and waved a finger at me.

I sat there in pain, trying to recover, damn she kicked hard. I now understand Caleb's pain.

When I stopped seeing double I got up and Taylor was far away. I sprang up and used some vamp speed to catch up. She wasn't speaking to me and didn't even acknowledge my presence. That hurt, but I deserved it, I tried to act like her boyfriend when I don't even know what the hell I am. I could be a cow to her for all I know.

"I'm sorry." I said after a few minutes.

"Are you staying or leaving?" She said with her chin stubbornly high and shoulders back. This was a girl who was made of  pure confidence.

"Definitely staying." Though she didn't mean to, I saw her lips turn up into a little smile.

This was going to be a great trip.

Taylor's POV

I didn't get butterflies when he said he was staying and my heart definitely didn't soar at the thought of him wanting to protect even though I can can take him down.

"Ok." I said.

"Ok." He said, smirking up a storm.

"Pig." I called him.

"Angel." He said back. That struck a little to close to home for my liking.

But I just rolled my eyes and shoved his shoulder. He had a cute grin on his face. I think I perfer that smile over that stupid cocky smile anyday. I gave him a genuine smile and his smile grew.

We giggled and laughed about the past. Until he asked me something I didn't want to answer.

"How old are you?"

"Do you really wanna know?" I tried to tell him subtly not to press, as I raised a brow.

"Yes, I want to." He said not paying attention to the look I was giving him or he just didn't care, either way.

"It's rude to ask a womans age." I tried again.

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." He said wiggling his eye brows. I bit my lip to contain the laughter.

I guess I could tell him the truth but he might just laugh again. Well if he does that I'll just kick him in the nuts again, but harder.

"About.... 783 years old give or take a couple years." I said confidently, but I was secretly freaking out in my head. Did he think I was old and gross? Did he regret kissing me? Did I just ruien everything? Wait, why do I care? I loathe him. Somewhere in my head a little voice reminded me, love and hate is a thin line. I groaned in my mind. Do I love him? I don't even know what love feels like.

"So are you a vampire or a immortal guardian, or a warlord, or a Valkyrie?"

I shook my head, "Ah, ah, ah," I said in a teasing tone. "You promised me your age." Taughting him.

"374." He said still staring at me in shock.

"Well I guess I'm robbing the cradle." I smirked.

"I guess you are." He said half chuckling to himself.

"We're here, this is where we teleport." I stated.

"Ok...." Damon asked we were in the middle of nowhere in a forest. I know how it must look.

Damon's POV

"We are in the middle of nowhere." I was once again scared for her health, but didn't stop her this time.

"Or are we?" She said tapping her head.

"Ya we are." I said back.

She just rolled her eyes. "Think about the Warriors Realm then run through it with all your might." She said.

My eyes widened, "I heard about that realm, but nobody knows where the portal is." I said. Caleb told me there is a realm that is only for Warriors, that's where they grow up, train, and live. But only a few have ever been there.

"Think, run, jump." She said again, before running as fast as I could into a tree! Right when I thought she'd go splat she went through it and the tree shimmered.

That's the portal! Ok let me think what did she say? Run, think, jump.

I did that and I planted head first into the tree. God damnit that hurts, as I rubbed my head. Ok maybe not that order. Think, run, jump, was the order... I'm pretty sure.

I thought about warriors and how there home would look. I ran with all I had and at the last second I jumped into the tree bracing my self to get hit with the tree again. I saw black for a second before I poped out the other side. Taylor stood over me. She looked at my face and started to laugh. She laughed so hard she fell down from the laughter, her eyes which had stopped glowing shined bright. Between laughs she gasped, "You.... ran into.... the tree.... Didn't you. ....Your forehead."

Then i cursed again my fore head must be super red and have a bump from running into it.

I was about to retaliate by tickling her, but when I looked around I saw something I never thought possible.
