The End Of The Beginning

The Awakening

Vanessa's P.O.V.

"Dalton!" I scream at the top of my lungs as I watch him falling into the lava. His brothers sceam and yell, but I couldn't hear very well. My ears stopped working, along with the rest of my body. I fell back in the cage, and it swings, threatening to snap off the chain. I wouldn't care if it did. I think I heard some fighting going on down beneath me, but again, I couldn't hear. Nothing mattered anymore. I was so willing to give up right now. Just let the demons get their precious victory.

"Get off me!" Kyler's voice bleeds through my ears, piercing them. Zaiden and Ruben must be fighting him off. Avenging Dalton. But suddenly Dalton jumps on the outside of the cage. "Dalton!" I said, happier than I've been in a long time. "How? You? What?" I sorta said. "Ruben." Enough said. Ruben was the fastest, strongest, and bravest out of us all. Of course he'd catch him. I kiss him through the bars. "I love you." I breathe. He smiled. "I love you, too. Now I'm going to get you out of here. Zaiden and Ruben are distracting Kyler." Dalton gets a grip on two of the bars and rips them straight off. "Well I could've done that!" I exclaim. "Then why didn't you?" Dalton smiles. I crawl out and jump into Dalton's arms. He jumps from the cage to the land down below where the fighting was.

Kyler growls when he sees both of us. "Don't you ever die?" He asks Dalton. "Apparently not." Dalton laughs. Kyler doesn't. "What are you gonna do, Kyler? Tell your daddy?" Zaiden laughs. Kyler smiled. "Now that you mention it." Oh right. His dad is the Devil. That really is a bad thing! "This is going to be good!" Kyler says, and aims his hands to the ground as if he'll fly off like Iron Man. Instead, he lifts them slowly, palms up now, as demons crawl out from the ground. "He's conjuring his friends." Zaiden says nervously. "He's conjuring his dad." I said as the Devil himself walks up behind his son.

Kyler, his father, and about a hundred demons stand in a large group ahead of us. "So this the turnout? Vampires vs. demons. A hundred against four." Zaiden says. "I'm sorry, I forgot to put up the flyers!" Ruben says sarcastically. "Shut up, you two." Dalton says, eying every person ahead of us carefully. "Who gets first move?" I asked. "Well, in a war, there's usually not a coin toss. Whoever moves first gets first move." Dalton answers. I gulp. Who moves first?! I asked myself. Kyler throws his fist forward. "Attack!" He yells. His whole army and him run forward with a speed that was surprisingly fast. Oh, they do. I answer my earlier question. The four of us run even quicker than them, and the battle officially starts.
