The Fallen

Chapter 25

They all walked along the sidewalk as the sun slipped below the horizon. Brendon led the group into a forest with huge trees. Taylor's feet ached but, she would never stop. As if reading her mind Brendon turned around to face the group. "We are gonna camp here for the night. We'll set out in the morning we still have about three miles until we reach the transporter." He set his bag down on ground and started rummaging through it. Alec did the same thing and handed Taylor a flashlight. "Here just in case." He said turning on one of his own. Taylor sat on the hard Earth pushing her feet in front of her and stretching her arms towards the inky sky. She looked through her bag until she found a gray sweatshirt and slipped it on over her black t-shirt. Yawning she looked at Alec who was also yawning and stretching out his arms. "I'm going to sleep." Alec said laying down using his backpack as a pillow. Taylor looked away from the man to Brendon who was gathering broken logs and was starting a fire. Soon sparks started to fly into the air as the fire bloomed with light and heat. Taylor stared on at the group of friends chatting, smiling. But the most important was that Brendon was smiling, something she only saw him do around Danielle. Liam was staring at the fire when he notice Taylor's state. Liam was in a similar one. Trying to figure what he had got himself into. Why he had fell for the shy smile. Why he had to fell for her personality. Why he leaned in. But without that he wouldn't be here. He would be in his room getting lost in books and music, without the feeling he had. He never planned for this to happened and he wasn't looking back. "You okay there Liam?" Asked a small high voice. Liam snapped out of his thoughts and looked to his side. Jessica was standing next to him with a smile on her face. "Y-yeah im fine." He said. "You're welcome to come over there, you don't need to sit there and do nothing." Jessica said. Liam looked to the direction of Taylor and saw that she was asleep. "Okay." Liam said getting up. He towered over the small girl but she walked ahead to the group with him right behind her. "He's the one who knocked Dallon out?" Mark asked Brendon. Dallon rolled his eyes before laying on the ground ignoring the group. Brendon nodded his head before speaking to Liam directly. "You really do care for her." Brendon said and Liam nodded his head with no hesitations. The conversation flowed on as they all had somewhat fun. But two minds were fogged up with the same thought.

"This girl is impossible." The devil said to himself as he watch through a mirror that showed what was going on in the cells. Danielle had only been here two days and the girl had been hit the worst. They needed to get Taylor, for her powers. By getting Taylor on their side they would be more powerful. The girl held powers that haven't been around for years and her powers could do way more then what she has already done. The devil glared at the mirror as one of his minions were done trying to get the information out of Danielle, but had failed. The man growled as he moved his hand sideways and the images of the cell disappeared. The man stomp away and into his throne room where demons were standing at the ready. "Get as many people you can gather and scout the land and Earth!" He yelled at them while walking onto his throne. He spun around and fell back into the chair. "And don't leave any land untouched!" He yelled at them with his demonic voice that boomed through the whole castle.
