The Rebel

Chapter Five

Moving quickly, Nicholas helps me out of the bed and hands me to Jake; but I decide to walk on my own. We run out of the room as Fredrick stops in front of the door to fight off some of the demons; Jake goes back for Fredrick, dragging him back by the shoulder.

"Nicholas has two cars one in the frong garage and one in the back garage. So, the three of you take the one in the back while I go to the front." Jake says in a rush. His face is full of shock and worry about the demons.

"Why don't you come with us?" I ask, tugging on his shirt.

"I'm going to draw them away from you. Take care of her." Jake responeds, looking at Fredrick and Nicholas; then the demons begin to flood the hallway and I wuickly put the potion from earlier into my pocket and we separate into the directions we needed to go.

We reached the back garage and it's a dark blue mini-van; Fredric runs to the side door and slides it open to help me in. "Get the car started and wait a minute for me." Nicholas says, standing near the door.

"We don't have minute. We need to get out of here to keep her safe since her powers are going crazy." Fredrick sternly says.

"I know but I need to grab something." He says, eagerly and runs back into the main part of the bunker.

"Dammit!" Fredrick says loudly.

"Relax, it'll be fine; if he needs to get something important then let him." I say calmly and Fredrick nods then he goes to the driver seat and starts up the van. Sliding to the very end of the black seat and that is when Nicholas begins to charge towards the van with a black duffel bag and then he jumps into the back seat with me. Demons pour int and Fredrick then applies gas to the van and we leave the garage. 

Nicholas has his back to me with his legs outstretched and then reaches forward to close the side door. "Agh!" He grunts and then he falls backwards with his head on my lap. Looking down I could see that Nicholas is bleeding through his right shoulder from a demon's fire ball.

"Fredrick, he's injured." I say, hoping he could give me advice as to what I should do. 

"I'll try to get us somewhere safe," He speeds up the car. "Do you have something that you can put over his wound? I don't want to risk you using your powers." Fredrick asks, keeping his eyes on the road.

I look around the backseat of the car but can't find anything, so I decide to tear a piece of my shirt off causing part of my stomach to show. I cover his wound with the cloth but the blood begins to soak through and then slowly into my shirt. Nicholas looks like he is about to go into shock, so I decided to place my hand over the wound and concentrate on healing him, which is a power that I was blessed with when I was born. The tingling feeling appears in my stomach followed by the pain; as I wince Nicholas frowns, "What?...What's wrong?" He asks, slowly.

"Don't worry about it; just relax and rest." He tilts his head to the side and closes his eyes. I just continue to focus on healing him even though it is painful. 

Fredrick finally stops at an old abandoned casual blue house. The house is completely hidden behind trees and Fredrick pulls behind the house so that we can hide. "The two of you can rest here while I try to go catch up with Jake." He says as he opens the side doo and grabs Nicholars, slinging him across his shoulders.

He holds his hand out for me to grab but I shake my head, "I'm good, just get him inside." I say sliding out and closing the door. The back of the house is barely as blue as it is up front with the wood chipped and vine growing up against the wall. Walking into the house is a different view from the outside, it is nice if you were to take away the dust. A kitchen to the left behind a wall, a living room to the right, and stairs straight ahead which probably leads to more rooms. 

Fredrick laid Nicholas on the couch in the living room, "Do you think you'll be okay here while I'm gone." He asks me, heading outside and I follow him to continue the conversation.

"Yes, just be careful out there." I say, leaning against the house. 

He gets in the driver's seat and turns around, "Oh and here." He says, handing me the duffel bag Nicholas had and then he drives off. 

As I headed back in Nicholas begins to sit up, "Woah!" I say, heading towards him with the bag on my shoulder. "You need to rest up angel boy." My hand is on his chest, slightly pushing him back down.

He laugh and asks, "Angel boy?"

"Yeah, I mean the blue eyes and since you're a really good guy." I say, blushing a little as I try to explain for why I said that, which I don't know why I did.

"Oh, ok got it." He says laughing. "So, what the plan ultra?" I glance at him and he just stares at me still smiling wide. "If I'm going to have a nickname then you need one too."

"Here's your bag." I say after a moment of silence.

"Oh, thanks.' He says, putting it in his lap and I sit down on the floor; he digs through his bag and hands me his leather jacket. "You can have this."

"Great, but why?" I ask, looking confused.

His expression goes soft, "We will talk about it when your brother gets here."

"Talk about what?" I ask angrily, giving him a hard stare. I have no idea what is going on, but his voice doesn't sound right.

"Hey sis." I hear Jake say coming through the door with Fredrick. "Listen, that potion from earlier we need you to take it."

"What is it?" I ask standing up and pull it from my pants pocket.

"We caught a creation," Fredrick says speaking up and that is when I notice blook splatter all over their clothes. "Somebody has been poisoning you at the Academy and it is interfering with some plans that the creations have."

"They could be lying. Demons always lie to be sure that they don't get tortured." I say defensively as I get up from the ground.

"That is an antidoe but after we put another ingredient in it then it will clease the potion, but it will turn you mortal." 

My heart just drops because I never thought about being a regular, or powerless, "No. I'll live with whatever I have."

"You can't, you'll die, and I just got you back." He stares at me with a hopeful look to try and persuade me. "We can find whoever did this to you and we can somehow find a way to get your powers back."

I form a fire ball in my hand, but the pain came back, "Fine, let me see it." I take another antidoe from Jake and mix it with the green liquid, which makes me feel uneasy. I chug it down and I begin to feel weaker; feeling my powers drain. "It's done." As I flow down on the couch beside me they all rush to me.

"You will feel sore at first; especially if you have ever been hurt while being a demon. Your human body is having to deal with the affects from your demon form. Nicholas will look after you for a while; Fredrick and I still have to be down in Hell to get information." I slowly raise my head; not having much strength.

"They might catch you; this is suicide."

Jake places his hand on top of my head making me lay back on the couch. "Don't worry; I have Fredrick besides we need to get more information. I'll be back just rest for now." My eyes slowly shut and I fall asleep for the first time in a peaceful state like Nicholas was in his bunker.
