The Fallen

Chapter 7

Taylor laughed as she walked out into the empty hallway. She guessed she was on her own now. She went to the room across from her and pushed the white door open into what looks like a kitchen. She walked into the room more into the open room with crates against the walls, small tables, a fridge- "Why hello there?" Said a deep voice from the corner of the room. She whipped around to the voice of a man in the corner. He had jet black hair with bright green eyes with a gold rim. On his tan skin where two bumps where horns used to be. His black ripped wings poked out from behind him. He had a natural smirk on his face. "I was just looking around." Taylor said standing up straighter. "New around here?"

"I'm Taylor. You are?" Taylor said ignoring his question. The man walked closer to her and grab her hand, shaking it. "Alec." Taylor wings ruffled anxiously but she didn't pay attention to them. "Why were you hiding in the corner?" Taylor asked. "I wasn't hiding, I was getting food." He gestured to the open crate behind him. "Oh, sorry I was just looking around." She turned around to leave the kitchen. "Wait! You hungry?" She turned around just in time to catch a bag of peanut butter M&M's.

"Uh thanks."

"Wanna sit?" He gestures to two chairs across from each other. "Uh sure." Taylor smiles but, the feathers on her wings are ruffling in caution. She tries to ignore it. She sits in one of the chairs and crosses her legs. "So you never answered me, you new around here?" The smirk was still placed on his face.

"Yeah. Today actually."

"You gotta have some questions. I'll answer them, I know how much of a pain Brendon is." Once Taylor heard he would answer her questions she jumped for it.

"Where did your horns go?" She said staring at the stubs on his forehead.

"Well they can't survive on Earth so they burnt away when I got banished from hell." He said staring directly at Taylor. "Well I-I need to um go... find my room." She said standing to leave. "I can show it to you, come with me." He says while flashing a charming smile. "No really i'm fine." She says nervously. He stood up, showing that he was about eight inches taller than her. "Come on." He held out his hand for her. She took his hand. A shiver ran up her spine and her heart started pounding. He started walking down a hallway and turned to a white door that looked just like the others. He opened the door there were shelves of random objects and books. "I know this isn't my room, i'm leaving." Taylor walks out and round a corner so quick she run straight into someone. "Fuck. S-sorry." She stands up looking to see she ran into Brendon. She can feel an intense heat coming from him and his natural brown eyes were a deep red color. "Wheres Danny?" He asks through clenched teeth. "I-I left her at the bar." Taylor stuttered out. He growled but he already was sprinting away, leaving Taylor. Taylor followed him out to the bar area. Just in time to see him pull Danielle away from some guy and punch the guy square in the jaw. "Brendon! What the fuck!" Danielle screamed. Brendon grabbed Danielle and dragged her back to her room she was screaming and clawing at him. Taylor rushed over to the guy. It was to dark to see what he looked like but he was knocked out. Taylor grabbed a phone that was on the seat next to him. She turned the flashlight on and saw that the guy had a scraggly beard, a messy quiff and probably a broken jaw. Taylor knew Brendon wasn't going to do anything. She started going back to Alec's room. The only person she knew who wasn't busy. She didn't want to. But she did.

When she got back she knocked quietly on his door. "Alec I uh need your help." She leaned on the door frame until Alec answered the door. "Brendon knocked this dude out and I think he has a broken jaw. Will you help me carry him back to his room? He's at the bar." She looked up at him. "Sure. Let's go." He started to walk down to the hallway to the bar. Taylor pointed to the bar where the guy was passed out on the floor still. She turned the flashlight on his face. Alec chuckles.

"That's Liam he doesn't do much, wonder why he did to get Brendon so pissed."

"I'm pretty sure he was kissing Danielle."

"Wow Brendon must got a crush on Danny or something." He looks down at Taylor then to Liam. He heaves Liam onto his shoulder than leaves the bar. Taylor follows after him down the hallway to one of the doors. "Open it please?" He asks Taylor. She opens the door and steps inside. The room is a mess with books and clothes thrown all over. Alec drops Liam on the bed. Taylor looks at his jaw again in better light. "I'm pretty sure his jaw is broken. Go get some ice please." Alec leaves the room. "Liam. Liam! Wake up!" He opens his eyes ever so slightly and groans.

"What happened?"

"Well i'm pretty sure you kissed Danny and then Brendon knocked you out." Taylor giggles at his expression. He had a look that was a mix of confusion and embarrassment. His cheeks had a slight tint of pink. He chuckled nervously.

"I fucked up, you never mess with Brendon." He tried to sit up but crashed back down to his pillow. "Careful now, oh and i'm Taylor by the way." Alec walked back in with ice in a bag and he handed it to Liam. "Put it on your jaw and get some rest." Taylor said turning around and leaving with Alec. They shut the door. "Thank you." She said smiling. "No problem but, let me actually show you your room." He said walking further down the hallway to the last door on the right. "Danny is in the other hall by he way. You guys are both new so both get the end rooms." Taylor opens the door and leans against the frame. "Thank you again." She said smiling. "No problem." He walks down the hallway to his room.
