The Fallen

Chapter 32

 "Sir! Sir!" Yelled a voice as it echoed of the castle walls. The Devil spun around to the voice to see one of his minions running in, looking excited. "What is is?" He growled at the demon. The demon made it closer to the throne, now panting. "Hurry up." He said already losing his patience. "We found her. We found her." He said as he tried to catch his breath. The devil smirked at the knowledge he now had. "Where is the girl?" He asked. "She heading for the chalice of sight. But sir she was with Brendon." He said with a smile, knowing he already pleased his lord. "The one who left?" The Devil asked. "Yes, sir. It was definitely him." The Devil's smile grew. It wasn't a normal happy smile. It was a cocky one. One that could frighten a person. "I presume they are heading for their little friend. Let them, we'll be waiting." He said with a diabolical laugh he couldn't hold back. He was the Devil. A evil, hated man that played everyone. Everyone was just a little piece in his game that he never got tired of playing.

Brendon looked toward Taylor and gestured ahead of him. Taylor limped to the front of the group with Alec close behind her. She walked slowly into the cave towards the small shimmering light. There was a piercing scream and a loud grunt. Taylor spun around to both Dallon and Angel on the floor. "Dallon!" Brendon yelled as he fell to the ground in front of him. "Let's get them out of here!" Brendon yelled as he started dragging Dallon by his armpits. Mark pulled Angel over his shoulder and carried her out. Sean eyes followed the broad man as he walked out of the cave then he followed. The only ones left were Liam, Alec and Taylor. Taylor looked between the two men, sighing. "Let's keep going." Taylor said as she turned around and started walking more into the cave. The two followed, dead silent. The cave began to widen and rounded out into a small room. There was a stone table in the middle and the chalice was sitting on top of it. The chalice seemed to glow as it looked exactly like it was drawn in the book. Taylor looked in awh before Alec ran to her and crushed his lips on hers, kissing her passionately. They kissed each other until they had to break for air. Taylor smiled nervously then turned towards the chalice. She walked forward cautiously and stood in front of the stone surface. Her hands shook as she pushed them forward towards the chalice. She grasped the chalice cupping it in her hands. It was cool and smooth it seemed to call to her. She brought it to her lips and tipped back slightly. The cool liquid flowed down her throat. Light flashed before her eyes taking over her vision. Fire spread throughout her body eating away at her. The pain was excruciating filling every point in her body with burning lava. She wailed falling to the floor dropping the chalice and curling into a ball. "Taylor!" Alec screamed but was held back by Liam. Taylor barely heard him, she only heard her heart pounding and only saw light flashing. Something slipped into her view but, it wasn't in real life only in her mind. It was strange symbols with pictures of hell and heaven. Everything scrolled by like movie but she understood every word. The symbols flashed away and something else came into her mind. It was her. She was only about 13 and her hair was falling loosely over her shoulders. She was wearing all black. She was walking with her mother to a closed casket. Her mom was holding an infant in her arms. "Mom I miss dad." Young Taylor said tears streaming down her face. "We all do." Her mother said in return. Another memory flashed into view this one was Taylor holding a little girl's hand. This was Taylor before she died she had a high ponytail and shorts and a t-shirt on. She saw herself before she had wings. Before she had scars. The little girl was skipping along beside her humming a random tune. The little girl had blonde hair and it was tied into a braid. She was wearing shorts and a pink shirt. They walked along to a park and turned to go in. There was wheels screeching and then gun shots sounded off. Taylor didn't hesitate to stand in front of the girl shielding the girl with her body. The black Jeep skidded by shots being fired from its front window. One hit Taylor straight in the chest she fell to the side blood seeping from the hole in her chest. The little girl's eyes filled with tears. Taylor's vision went back to flashing lights then black.
