The Fallen

Chapter 27

Taylor and Brendon awoke to Jessica's screech. At the noise Taylor bolted up and looked around cautiously. A group of demons surrounded them. They all were different. Some had writing on them that covered their skin. Other skin was a dry blue with cat like eyes. Others looked like them, normal except for their blood colored eyes. They were all armed with the weapon she saw they used on Danielle and knew it could end her. The demons laughed as they watched the scared girl, knowing they won. "Looks like he sent out a search party." Brendon said loud enough to wake the rest. They were all awake and looking around at the situation. The rest slowly stood up making sure not to do anything to start their attack. Alec held out his hand for Taylor and she took it and held onto it for dear life. The men were all three times her size. The smallest one was still taller than Dallon who was the tallest in there group. Brendon pulled the dagger from his waist this was a signal that the fight had started. Two demons set towards Taylor and Alec. Alec lunged for his bag and pulled out a Beretta 87 Target pistol. He tossed it to Liam then pulled out a small silver grip and a sheath of arrows. The grip unfolded into a full bow that shimmered in the morning light. He quickly loaded it and shot at one demon coming at Taylor it skimmed the demon's arm. "In my bag there's another gun. Taylor get it." Alec commanded loading and shooting more arrows. Taylor lunged to the side and dug around until she touched something cold and metal. She pulled out another pistol just like the one Alec gave Liam. Taylor cocked the gun and held it in her hands she aimed for the demon coming at Alec. The shot rang out it hit the demon right in his abdomen. He went down clutching the gushing wound. Liam fired off three shots and there was another thud. There were eight demons left and they had the group surrounded. Taylor cocked and shot again at another demon this one skimmed his arm. Taylor was shaking terribly and her aim was suffering from it. She shot another bullet and the demon this one hit his shoulder. Taylor was roughly yanked backwards and held by her hair. "Drop all of your weapons or I'll eliminate her!" He screamed to the rest of the group. The demons that were told to be dead raised all with cocky smiles. One of the other demons threw a crooked dagger to the one who had Taylor. He took the sharp dagger and stabbed it deeply in Taylor's thigh. A deafening cry escaped her lips. Pain like fire spread through her body. Her heart hammered in her ears. Blood soaked through her jeans and tears ran down her face. "Do it now!" The demon roared. Alec was the first to drop his bow and sheath. Alec stared at the struggling Taylor, helpless. The knife was stuck in Taylors thigh and blood was turning her jeans a deep red. Liam dropped his pistol and it thudded as it hit the Earth. The demon grabbed the dagger and spun it around causing Taylor to cry out in intense pain. She coughed out a mouth full of blood. The movement made the pain wash over in waves. "I said now!" He bellowed at the group. Everyone dropped their weapons but, Brendon. He was still holding his shimmering dagger from his past. The demon pulled the dagger out of her thigh. It was covered in crimson red. Blood soaked through Taylor's jeans and dripped onto the ground. "Well look who's the last standing. Brendon. Where have you been buddy, you been missing for years. What happened to you? Hanging around with these pieces of shit!" His laughed echoed through the forest. The demon knew Taylor couldn't die to this dagger and he was willing to have some fun. He took the dagger and wiped it on Taylor's cheek. Then stabbed it in between her ribs and her hip. Taylor couldn't take the severe pain and went limp. The only thing that was keeping her up was the demon. The knife stuck out of her side and blood was soaking through her sweatshirt. "Songbird!" Alec screamed as he lunged to the side and picked one of the demons knifes that they dropped. He gripped the knife before flinging it full force at the demon. The knife went at a fast speed and landed right in the demon's forehead. The demon let go of Taylor as he fell to the ground. The group watched as the man slowly turned into a black dust. The other demons ran at Alec. Brendon jumped on one and stabbed his dagger through his skull. The demon screeched as he turned into dust. Brendon still gripped his knife and looked at the seven demons. He could feel the bloodlust that poured off of them. "Your weapons won't work. Grab a demon's weapon and use that!" Brendon yelled as Liam grab a spear from the demon Brendon just killed. Alec grab his weapon, throwing it to Dallon who caught it perfectly. Alec attention went to the pale Taylor as he placed her head in his lap. The other demons were stronger in numbers but knew they were weak to Brendon. They knew who he was and knew the power he still had.

"Brendon just come with us." One of the ones with drawing all over his skin offered. "How about no." Brendon yelled as he threw his dagger at the neighboring Demon next to the one who was talking. He looked at the falling Demon as they screamed for their lives. The Demon held a stone cold look at the person who slowly turned to dust before looking at Brenon with the same look. "I'll be back Brendon. And when I do you beat everyone of these people will be dead, just like Jessica." The whole group looked at the Demon with confused looks. The demon laughed as he gave them a evil look and in sequence the whole group of demon's soared into the sky. The man laughed and continued as they soared through the skies the laugh slowly decreased but the laugh still echoed in the heads of the group.
