The Unvanquished Truth [EDITING WITH SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter Fifteen: Slip Up (Liz's P.O.V)

"A change of clothes wont be enough, we're using magic to change our hair color." Lexi said once everyone changed.

"Seriously, you don't have other clothes for me?" Whined Scott pointing out his clothes. He was wearing a black spike jacket and black leather pants, an April had put mascara in his eyes.

"Yes you have to, because I also have to wear this", answered Robert pointing to his new clothes.

"Honestly we all look weird" said Liz. "We look different, let's see if changing the hair works, remember we all wear shades. Oh and April? Why is my skirt so short?" She finished while trying to pull down her skirt as much as se could.

"You have leggings under it, who cares?" April smirked.

They were all wearing dark, gothic clothing with a touch of rockstar. April made sure they all played their part by using make up, and that includes both genders. Robert was dressed similar to Scott, Alex and James. Robert had decided to put some blue to difference himself while Scott had green, Alex was completely black and James had red. The girls had skirts or dresses, Lexi was wearing a dress with black boots that reached her knees while April wore some jeans and a squared dark shirt with a spiked belt. Liz wore a skirt with leggings and a t-shirt that said 'My soul died'. In the end they ditched the sunglasses and kept their natural hair color.

~UT~

It was nightfall by the time
Th plan was discussed. Thy finally decided to make a fire and lay down to sleep until sunrise. While the girls were asleep, the boys staid awake and started takling, except Scott who kept quiet.

"Keep it down guys, I can't sleep", groaned Liz.

"Since you're awake, why don't you and I take first watch, the others look tired", Alex commented.

Everyone nodded and fell asleep instantly. Liz went sit around the fire, her thoughts filled with what happened to her sister.

As if he were reading her mind, Alex said "sorry about your sis Angela, how you holding up?"

"I'm fine." But her voice failed her, her eyes started to sting as she tried to hold back her unshed tears. The truth was that Liz was trying to deal with loosing her sister in battle against the demons. How she hated Nicholas so much for making her suffer like this, making her loose her sister. Angela was like a mother to her. Liz's lost all self restraint as she started to cry. Through her sobs, she whispered, "I moss her so much."

"So that makes you the Angel King's last granddaughter, right? I've always wondered why you're helping Robert, after all he is the Demon King's son."

"No, Robert is angel/demon. I'm not the only grandchild left since Robert is his half-grandson."

"So he's your cousin? And your in love with him?"

"I like him, but his more of a long lost family member than a cousin, plus we're not blood related." Liz stared getting up, she saw a green glow coming from Scott's hand. Before se could react, Alex muttered under his breath, "crap, not again." and he ran to positioned Scott so he couldn't touch the leaves.

"Is he the earth elemental?" Liz voiced out her thoughts after a minute of silence in which both had sat down again.

"Yes, this is now the second time this has happened. He can't seem to control it." Alex ran a
Hand over his greasy hair, it's been a few days since they left town, and added, "Don't tell anyone until we are one hundred percent sure, ok?"

"Ok, let's lay down for a bit and get some rest. We have a long journey ahead of us if we're to make it to the ancient cave by sunset."

~UT~

"We're here", Liz announced while using a spell to create some light, since it was really dark.

"Why do we have to go inside the cave?" asked Robert.

"While we make our way to our destination, we'll tell you all you need to know for now, April? If you will."

"Ok, let's start with the basics. God or as we call him, Angel King, has sons and daughters scattered across the world. He is Robert and Liz's grandfather and sends his children to protect humans from demons. Now the demons are controlled by Devil King, or Satan if you will. Currently the Devil King is Robert's father, Nicholas Gates. His demons have the power to disguise themselves as humans so it's become harder to spot them..."

What does this have to do with the cave?" Scott interrupted.

"As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted, this eventually brought on a war. The main reason was the assassination of the Angel Queen though no one is sure how that happened... moving on. Two years after the war began, one of the angels found this cave with his group as they were hiding from a group of demons. They saw writings on the walls, which they concluded were from past angels. One of the writings talked about the prophecy involving you guys."

"Wait a minute, you knew all this would happen?!" Robert exclaimed.

"Can I please continue without anymore interruptions?!" shouted April, clearly pissed off.

Robert and Scott both nodded, and with a satisfied smile, April continued. While Liz was trying to find what se was looking for, which only she knew about, Lexi, Alex, and James tried to help. Keyword tried.

"I found it!" Liz exclaimed after looking at the walls for a while. Pushing one part of the rocky wall, Liz revealed a secret tunnel. "When I was little, while mom was working, Luke, my best friend, and I use to play around in the cave. One day, we stumbled upon this tunnel. Luke's in England now but we still keep in touch. Anyways, the point is that we were to young to understand what we found, but we swore to ourselves not to tell anyone else at the moment. I have a hunch that what we found has to do with everything that's happened."

"You had a hunch, a hunch?!" Scott rambled, "You technically dragged me here, without any explanation, and everything you say is complete fantasy! Why am I here?!"

"That's what I like to know..." muttered Alex. Scott glared at him.

"Hey! I did explain! Look, unless you want to be chased and captured by my mother and she finds out you're the earth elemental, shut up!" Liz shouted, realizing her mistake too late.

Without a word, Robert walks out of the cave, sick of the secrets. Things are about to get interesting.
