Fallen

I turned on my heel and ran. Ashton followed me and hopped in the car right after I did. Luke and Calum arrived seconds later. Calum started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. I looked behind us to see Michael standing there in the middle of the road, still smirking.

“He is just standing in the middle of the road.” I told Ashton who turned around and swore under his breath.

“We have to get back to Elizabeth’s house. We have to make sure that he doesn’t get one of us alone. That is one powerful demon.” Luke told Calum who drove faster.

“How are we going to get back in there? Michael has one of two keys. The other one is hidden. We are never going to find the angel child now.” Calum whined from the front seat. I could see his profile and he had a slight pout on his lips.

“Maybe the demon knows who the angel is, and that’s why he is here.” I muttered under my breath. I was still trying to fathom that all of that, the whole world of demons and Angels were real. And now, unfortunately part of my world.

“Maybe it does. This demon is obviously taking over Michael for a reason. The angel has to be around here. Somewhere that Michael would have access to.” Ashton smiled at me.

“I was kidding.” I crossed my arms.

“Well, that little joke of yours might just save our asses. The outline of their wings shimmers at the mention of Christ in latin.” Luke smiled in my direction.

“So, we don’t need the whole Angel device thingy?” I raised my eyebrows as Calum, who had been silent after my suggestion, pulled over onto the side of the road. I saw him look behind us.

“Good, he’s not following us.” Calum breathed a sigh of relief and I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. He pulled away from the side of the road and kept driving in the direction of my house.

When we finally got to my house, Calum stopped the car and I leaned into Ashton, smelling his cologne. It was a comforting smell.

“Shouldn’t we go somewhere safe?” Luke looked questioningly at Calum who just smiled and jumped out of the car. The rest of us quickly followed, eager to see what Calum was so excited and jumpy about.

He pulled a duffel bag out of my trunk and dropped it on the ground. Both Luke and Ashton started smiling, leaving me confused as to what they were smiling about.

“What are you three idiots smiling about? What the hell is in that bag?” I crossed my arms and frowned.

“I was in charge of making boundaries where creatures couldn’t get in. I put it in the back of Michael’s car. I grabbed it without you guys even looking.” He beamed at me and I gave him a huge hug.

“Thank you for being so awesome, Cal.” Ashton pulled me off of him.

“Woah, woah, woah. You just remember that you’re mine, baby. I am the only one you can hug like that.” He pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. I tilted my head back and smiled at him.

“All yours, babe.” He leaned down and connected his soft lips with mine. I smiled into the kiss as the boys cat-whistled.

“That was cute and all but get a room!” Calum yelled at us as he ushered us inside. “Just chill there. I will let you guys know when to the whole boundary thing is all done.” We nodded and headed inside.

We all made our way into the kitchen and they sat down around the table. My stomach grumbled and I realised I hadn’t eaten since last night.

“Are you guys hungry?” I asked the two boys who were laughing uncontrollably at something one or the other said. Both Luke and Ashton’s dimples were showing.

“Yeah.” Ashton said as soon as they calmed down. Luke nodded his head in agreement.

“Pancakes okay?” I asked the boys as I pulled the box of mix out of the cabinet.

“What ever you make is just fine, love.” Ashton stated with a large smile.

“Well if you want pancakes, you have to help me make them.” I told them holding out the box and a bowl.

“Why do we have to help?” Luke whined but got up from his seat anyway.

“Because Calum is outside doing something, you guys can be doing something too.” Luke groaned and took the bowl from my hands. I giggled as he and Ashton began to fight over who was going to do what.

“You two are idiots. Get working. I will grab the pan.” They huffed as a response. I laughed at them. They read the box and began to make the mix as I grabbed the pan and sprayed it with a bit of cooking spray so the pancakes wouldn’t stick.

“No, there’s supposed to be some lumps left in the batter.” Luke yelled. I looked over at the two boys who were arguing again.

“You’re wrong! It’s supposed to be nice and smooth.” Ashton shot back.

“Nope.” Luke snatched the bowl off the cabinet and walked over to me.

“Elizabeth, don’t make that. Luke mixed the batter wrong and it is still lumpy.” Ashton walked over to try to take the bowl out of my hands.

“Actually, Ash, Luke is right. There are supposed to be lumps left in the batter.” I began to make the pancakes. Ashton sat back down at the table with a pout.

Once the pancakes were done, I set the table and brought over the platter of food. The boys began to pile pancakes onto their plates.

“Do you have any vegimite?” Ashton bumped my elbow with his. I pointed to the cabinet it was in and he jumped up right away to get it.

“Sarah bought it. Obsessed with the stuff.” Calum came in the door with his bag and began to work on the windows. We all kept on eating and making conversation.

“So, how do you say the Lord’s name in latin?” I asked the boys in the room. Ashton looked at me and smiled.

“Cristo.” There was silence and then audible gasps all across the room.

“Elizabeth! You’re an angel!”
