Living with Death

Devils trail

I got up from The chair and started walking away.

I have to save Harry.

But I don't even know how to get out of this place. Let alone get to Devils trail.

I turned back around and faced Niall. Sophia was already gone. He looked at me as if he was waiting for me to ask a question. "Where is Zayn?" I asked.

He looked at me confused but answered swiftly "he's in the staff room. Which is the first door out of the training room." He smiled and waved as if nothing was happening, but I didn't have time to worry about that.

I walked down the stairs that lead to the training room and opened it. I hesitantly walked into the room and began to find a way out.

I looked and looked until I finally laid my eyes on a pair of metal doors across the room. The balcony only went so far which means I would have to walk through.

I turned and walked down the stairs that lead to the main training area. I simply walked on the sidelines to make sure I didn't catch anyone ones attention.

Lucky I didn't and safely got to the other balcony with no new friends. I dusted of my shoulders and gave myself a pat on the back.

I walked up the stairs and opened the medal doors. The hallway was darker than the others and had a lot more rooms.

Niall said to go to the first door but there are two. One on the left and one on the right.

I tried to figure out which door it could be by staring at them intensively but it didn't work.

After a while I decided to pick one and open it. If It wasn't the right one well now I know which one is it.

I picked the one on the left and opened it but no one was in there, so I slowly went to the door on the right and pushed it open.

I slowly walked in, to my surprise Zayn was there. with a girl. They were talking about Disney World and how the girl really wanted to go.

I cleared my throat signaling that I was there. They both turned at the same time and looked down blushing.

I smiled while Zayn walked over to me and asked "you heard all of that?" Kinda but in my opinion you guys should go. It's amazing" I said.

The girls face lit up and she jumped up and down screaming "Yes! Thank you. Ha I told you it was amazing Zayn ahh you never listen. "

I couldn't help but laugh as she ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

She pulled away and asked "wait, who are you?" "Oh yeah um I'm Asher." She still looked confused but shrugged it off.

"Well I'm Ashely " she smiled and turned and walked away and sat down on the couch at the end of the room.

I turned to Zayn and said "Well Zayn I gotta ask you something." He turned slightly while picking at his fingernails and nodded.

"Well, I know your the runner for this world-." "Best of the best." He turned and smiled. I smiled and continued talking the while he picked at his fingernails.

"Anyway I was wondering if you would help me go on a run type of thing?" He now had is body faced fully towards me and he had a questioning look in his eyes.

"What type of run?" He asked.

"It's to Devils trail." He got up from his seat and started pacing around the room "why do you need to go there?" He asked.

"Well Harry went there and I gotta go help him."How could he be in Devils trail he's pure angel he can't go in there and he knows that." He said a little louder than before

"Zayn, ask Niall all about it if you like I just need to find Harry and I don't know how to get there, more or less get through it so please just help me."

He stopped pacing and sighed "alright. I'll help you. I'll take you there and give you the resources you need."

"Yes thank you so much Zayn you are a life saver literally!" I ran up and hugged him.

While I was hugging him Ashely who was still on the couch reading a vogue magazine said "hey Asher, chill on the touchiness okay." I let go of Zayn and quietly said "sorry."

She got up and gave me a hug and said "oh I'm just kidding girly." She let go and patted me on the shoulder "good luck finding Harry." She whispered and sat back on the couch.

Zayn told Ashely something then gave her a kiss on the cheek and we left the room.

He told me all about Devils trail. "The demons there have no mercy they will either persuade you to get out or kill you. But at the end of the trail there is a weeping willow which grants you access to talk to people who have died. I think that why Harry wants to go."

Zayn finished and I finally looked at my surroundings. We were on a platform that moves from section to section.

"Why are we here?" I asked Zayn. He chuckled and said "how do you expect us to get there it's in the human world."

"Well isn't there like stairs?" Now he full on laughing "you really don't know anything about this world now do you?" He asked in between laughs.

"Nope nothing." I said

He cleared his throat and said "well Asher Tomlinson today you will witness flight!"

"Ugh isn't there an easier way?" I groaned. He rolled his eyes and said "you ask to many questions just get on." He crouched down and signaled me to get on his back.

While I slowly mounted him he got up and adjusted me on his back. "Ready?" He asked.

Before I could say something he shot off of the platform. I screamed until I saw we were hovering and not dying. A smiled as he gave me a reassuring smile.

After 30 minutes we finally landed. It was dark and gloomy It already gave me the creeps. The trees were tall and dark and the trail was barely visible.

Zayn tapped my shoulder and gave me a hug he whispered in my ear "good luck." He let go and looked through his pockets he brought out some sunglasses a flashlight and 2 blades.

I grabbed them and put it in my pocket I turned towards the trail and started walking. I looked back again to tell Zayn something but he was already gone.

Voices started filling my head but I couldn't understand them. I took a deep breath and kept walking.

The voices kept getting louder and louder till it was finally visible they said "leave while you can girl be happy we are telling you" I still kept walking until a loud voice boomed through my head and said "to late love, can't go back now." I breathed in an out and while repeating in my head This is for Harry, as screeches and laughter filled the forest .

Authors note:
