The Fallen

Chapter 15

Taylor could see Danielle falling below her. Taylor screamed at the top of her lungs. The sound escaped her mouth but, it escaped into the air above her. Taylor let her wings spread and slow down the fall. Danielle was still falling fastly towards the fiery ground. Danielle couldn't stop herself from going fast. Their was a giant rip in her wings that will not help. She covered her face before the impact. Her skin burned on the inside and outside. Her bones ached with pain and her skin burned by the fire. There was a loud thud next to her. She turned her head to the right and saw someone next to her on the ground. The person pushed themselves up off the ground onto all fours. The person looked to Danielle with their bright blue eyes. "Taylor?" Danielle crooked out. "Danielle what the fuck were you thinking?!" Taylor screamed her question. "Why the hell did you follow me?" Danielle asked weakly. She couldn't be mad because the only thing she could feel was pain. Danielle pushed herself up off the ground and managed to sit up in a second. "You fucking disappeared into the Earth! And the only thing you ask is why I followed!?" She screamed. "I planned to come here. You weren't supposed to." Danielle said coldly. "Well excuse me for being curious!" She said getting up. Groaning. She walked to Danielle's side and held down her hand. Danielle stared at it with question. "I'm trying to help you." She said. but Danielle pushed up off the floor standing up wobbly. "I'm fine. But Taylor welcome to hell. And since you followed I need to find you a area to hide while I," She pointed to herself. "Go do my business."

"Wait, wait, wait. You expect me," Taylor pointed to herself. "To leave you alone?"

"Yes." She said flatly, while walking away down a tunnel. Taylor ran after her to her side. "I am not leaving you." They came out of the tunnel to what looked like a village that went wrong. People ran around with horns laughing all with dark dragon like wings. The houses where all run down, windows broken, no door and holes in the roofs. In the distance was the only decent looking thing. A castle on what was a hill that was separated on a island from the mainland. Taylor looked on as Danielle started to walk away. Taylor snapped out of her daze and saw Danielle walking away. "Hey! Don't fucking walk away from me!" She yelled as she went after her. They walked by many possible carts that had food on the stove implanted in the cart. People were running around causing trouble, Danielle was unfazed by the violence. It just seemed natural to her. Danielle came to a stop into a open court yard. People were sitting on the ground, running around, just causing trouble. What they call fun. "You'll be staying here till I get back. I won't be long. Around two hours." Danielle said. "I am not staying here." Taylor hissed at her. Danielle was unfazed by her."You have to. My plans only fit one person," Danielle started to walk away but kept looking at Taylor, while she stared. "So stay put, and i'll be right back." She said happily, disappearing behind around the corner. Taylor didn't go after her. She knew whatever was going to happen Danielle would not let her follow.

Danielle knew where she was going and how hopefully everything was going to happen. She needed to get to that castle and into the safe where many variables are located. Gold, diamonds, weapons and most importantly the wand that the old lady wanted. Danielle walked with her head down and hands in pocket. The oversized white shirt was now covered in dirt. People didn't pay attention to her and hopefully it will stay that way. An hour passed and she was at the area where the land bridged off to where the castle is located. She stared up at her destination. Afraid to take another step. There was no gates or guards in the front keeping people out. The devil was a people-person. He needed to be accessible for deals and wages. Danielle closed her eyes before pushing herself to walk forward.
