Darkness Seven

Chapter Seven

Taylor and I were eating ice cream, sharing ice cream in my room on my bed. It was pretty cold and since this jail house had no heat I had to suffer. I was shivering like hell and my blankets weren't helping at all. They were so thin why would they work. This ice cream wasn't helping my coldness or my bitterness. I felt the same way I felt before, alone, in my world of grey. Taylor could tell I wasn't cheering up so she put the ice cream on the floor and looked at me. She was worried about me which was a good thing, but I didn't want her getting involved. I'd be devastated if something happened to her.

Knowing that any minute I could leave this world is bad enough. I didn't want to tell her because I didn't want her dwelling on it as much as I was. She didn't deserve any of that. She's such a sweet person, why would anyone want to hurt her. Plus she never done anything to anyone to feel bad about something. I needed to get this off my chest though, I had to tell someone about it. I really needed to talk to Nick as well. If I didn't talk to him this problem would never get resolved.

Taylor looked at me and crossed her arms. I could tell she was mad, but for what? 'Your not happy!!" she yelled right in my face, her breath hitting me hard.

I backed away and looked the other way. I didn't want to come off rude. "I know I'm not I just need time to calm down." I said holding my arms close to my body. I had goose bumps going down my arms and I was still shivering.

Taylor was looking out the window and I saw a light coming off her eyes. "Hey Sky, come look at this?" she said pointing outside gesturing me to come over.

I walked over there and it was this bright white light glowing from the graveyard. It changed from white to red. I had no clue what that was, but I was going to find out real soon. I grabbed my black boots and headed outside. Taylor followed me and she looked worried as ever. I was only going to look to see if it was Nick. I had this weird feeling that it was, it was like I can sense his pressure. It was two people down there though. The other I couldn't make out, but I knew it was evil. I started running and trying to make it before anyone got hurt. It was no use though. I wouldn't be of any help anyway.

Taylor and I got to the graveyard and down the hill the light was more clear. Both of them. Taylor didn't want to go down there but I did. "Come on Taylor everything will be fine."

"How do you know?" She asked with that wild look in her eyes.

"Trust me Taylor, I'm your best friend, I wouldn't lie to you." I extended my hand out to her and she took it and held on tight.

We got to the bottom of the hill and there it was. It was Nick! I was right! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He had wings, wings that shined so bright and they were so beautiful. The elegancy was amazing. I never imagined him being like that. I didn't think it was true. I closed my eyes and opened them back up, but they were still there. This couldn't of been happening. I looked at Taylor who seemed just as shocked as I. It was all to much to handle. All I felt was a lot of pressure, that I couldn't take, it was weakening my body.

I felt my arms getting weak and legs were shaking. It felt like I was about to fall, but I had to get Nick's attention. I tried my best to walk over there to him, it felt like I had 20 pounds of bricks on my feet. I was moving so slow. I don't think I was moving at all. I stopped in my tracks and started breathing heavily. Nick turned around and when he saw me his eye's widen. He looked behind me and saw Taylor was there as well.

He looked pissed off and then he calmed down. I still couldn't tell who the other person was, but he seemed so familiar. My vision was blurry, and I started getting light headed. Nick shook his head and looked worried. "Sky, why are you here?!" He said sounding mad and sad at the same time. That other guy came at him but he blocked his shot with one arm and the other kid went flying.

"Nick! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..." just then a flashing light came towards my way and I knew it was about to hit me.

I couldn't move my body, the only thing I could do was close my eyes and hope I didn't get hurt that bad. As I closed my eyes I felt hands wrap around my waist and pull me down to the ground. I opened my eyes to see Nick over me, if that thing didn't hit me then it must of...TAYLOR! I turned around and saw her lying on the ground. I managed to crawl my way over to her and she had a light pulse. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks and I knew it was all my fault. "Hang in there Taylor, You'll be okay." I said stroking her hair.

Nick came over and bended down to me. "Get her and get out of here Skylar!" He said yelling and looking behind his back.

"But, what about you?" I asked worried he would get hurt.

"I'll be fine trust me, once I finish with this guy I'll come and heal her wounds." He said like he was being serious. "Please Skylar go! Go now!' He yelled once more.

I nodded my head and picked her up. Thank God she was light weight because we both would of went tumbling. I turned around to him and he looked at me telling me to go. I took his word and went back to my room. I was running to my room. I was so out of breath, I was happy when I got to my room. I laid her on my bed and looked at her with tears strolling down my face. I grabbed her hand prayed that Nick would hurry up and come here.

After 20 minutes passed by, Nick came busting through my door and he looked as if nothing happened outside. He went to aid Taylor, but all he did was put a glowing light around her whole body and then stood up. I thought it was amazing how he did that. He looked at me and he seemed mad. I could tell by the color of his eyes. They were a piercing red, more red than they ever were when he gets mad. "WHY WOULD YOU COME DOWN THERE SKY, YOU COULD OF GOT SERIOUSLY HURT!!!" he yelled frowning up at me.

"I'm sorry I just wanted to know where the light was coming from, Taylor didn't want to go and I should of listened..." I said innocently. I didn't think it was that big of deal.

"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!" he yelled again and then he finally calmed down. "I didn't mean to yell at you I'm just...going through a lot of things and I can't have you get hurt." he said touching my cheeks and pulling me closer to him.

I hugged him and cried in his chest. I was so hurt and broken into pieces. I just got my best friend hurt, it was all because of me. Everything bad that happens is because of me and my stupid-ness. I squeezed on to him and felt him move away in pain. Something must of happened to him. He grabbed both his sides and I started to get worried. "Nick, are you okay?" I asked looking at him holding on to his sides.

"What?, Oh yeah I'm fine." he said lying through his teeth. He gave me a petti smile which told me he was lying.

"Nick, be honest with me, what happened to you out there?"

"I just got a couple of scratches that's all." he said turning the other way.

"So show me your so called 'scratches'." I say waiting for him to take off his shirt.

He took it off and all over his back was marks, They looked like more then just scratches to me. Some of them were still bleeding heavily. My mouth dropped and when he turned around it was worst then the back. I looked down and fell to my knees. "This wouldn't of happened if I would of just stayed here." I said feeling so bad about everything.

He walked over to me and grabbed my arms. "It's not your fault so don't blame yourself for any of this." He said smiling at me.

"It is my fault. I always have to go and do something stupid!" I said hurt by it all. "Look at you, look at Taylor, she wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me. I'm such a terrible person."

"Hey, Hey, hey, stop blaming yourself. Your a fun out going person. If it's anyones fault for all of this drama it's mine. Besides I should of told you sooner, but of if I wouldn't then..."

"Then you would of gotten rid of me."
