The Fallen (book 1)

Chapter 15

The deformed troll thing starts cutting up Luke but Luke doesn't even care because he's too into trying to kill it.

"We have to help him.", I say running towards Luke, swords of flame in hand.

Aaron grabs my wrist and pulls me back." Jay, you can't, stay here and I'll go.

"Be careful," I say as Aaron runs to defend Luke.

I don't know why I couldn't go, I feel fine, I didn't want to argue and then leave Luke alone because then I would feel really horrible. Instead, I watch for more of the things. I try not to go too far away and then I see someone in the distance, it kinda looks like my father.

"It can't be.", I say to my self. "My father died."

I look closer and I was wrong because the person walks closer and closer to me and then I see him clearer.

"Jay, you have to help them."

"Dad how are you here."

"That isn't important, you have to go and fight the Wendigo."

"The what?"

"The Troll."

He starts to disappear.

"Dad!"

"Just go."

I try to tell him the question I wanted to tell him right before the crash. Then I think again. 

"I have to help them.", I say rushing to the door. 

I reach for the doorknob and then it hits me, Pain, not a headache, it's in my stomach and it's like there is fire in my stomach and then I see it, it's in my mind, an animal it's turning from one animal to the next, then it starts calling me. My power starts to call to me.

"What do I do.", I say to myself and then think back to when my uncle gave me advice.

"Your power sorta talks to you in a way, tells you when danger is coming and everything. But you have to be careful because sometimes it tries to take control of you. You have to control it."

I think that is what he is talking about.

"Try talking to it."

I do what he does, but talking to my power sounds dumb, but I try anyway.

"So, uh. What do I say."

I take deep breaths and then try.

"Ok, you can do this."

"Ok, power are you listening?"

My power turns into a serpent type thing and then turns its head towards me.

"Ok, I can do this." 

I can make a conversation with anyone, but this is truly the weirdest thing I have ever done.

I start to whisper to it. Then the serpent turns to a small house cat and starts to purr.

"Ok, good can you help me defeat the troll monster thing."

The cat turns into a dog and barks

"Good, let's go."

I head back to the house and get ready to fight the thing that's trying to kill my only friends that I can talk to. 

"Aaron, Luke."

Nothing, then there were screams that sound like Aaron but I don't trust them. I head up a pair of stairs and look around. Then I see them, in the middle of the room cut open is Luke then next to him is Aaron still breathing.
