Fallen

“What!” I screamed and pushed myself back from the table.

"Elizabeth, the demon is after you. You’re the only one who can save Michael!” Ashton came towards me.

“Just stay away from me right now, Ash. I need a minute.” I put my head in my hands and tried to understand what was going on. I quickly ran upstairs to my room and locked the door. I laid on my bed and cried. There were audible sobs coming from my slightly parted lips. I could faintly hear loud knocks coming from the bedroom door, but I figured that they were just in the back of my mind.

All of a sudden I felt someone beside me. I looked up to see none other than Michael. He smiled an evil smile at me and scooted closer.

“I wouldn’t have had to use the window if Calum hadn’t blocked the door.” He patted my hair and I jumped off my bed toward the door in an attempt to get away from him.

“Get away from me!” I screamed. The voices on the other side of the door became pleading. They were begging for me to open the door. Michael got closer and closer and I unlocked the door and swung it open. Ashton yanked my arm so that I would get behind him. Luke, Calum and Ashton’s bodies shielded my own.

“Get her out of here. She’s not safe.” Ashton told Luke who grabbed my arm and pulled me towards my stairs. I wouldn’t leave without a fight.

“I am not leaving without you, Ashton.” I struggled against Luke’s strength.

“Baby, you have to leave. You’re not safe. I promise I will see you soon.” He pulled me close and smashed his lips harshly to mine. It lasted only a short second before I was yanked away by Luke. He snagged my keys from the front hall before running to the car. I looked back at the house and saw Ashton and Calum running out with Michael sprinting out soon after.

“Ash!” I yelled as he came closer. I opened the door and got in the car. I screamed Ashton’s name again but this time, he came no closer. He was held back by Michael. Calum stayed with him. Michael started punching Ashton and I screamed. Luke pulled away from the house as I tried to open the door. I forgot I put the child safety locks on so that Kade wouldn’t try to open the door as he has done before.

“Luke, we have to go back and help them! They are fighting a demon.” I screamed, hoping to convince him.

“Yeah, a demon that is after you. They are protecting you. That’s the main priority right now.” I nodded my head, knowing this was for my own benefit. I couldn’t help but feel terrible. It wasn’t just the fact that Ashton and Calum were risking their safety and I couldn’t do anything about it, it was the fact that the one world I never wanted to believe was real, is actually real, and a part of me.

“Come with me.” Luke opened my door. I never realized that he had stopped the car. We were parked outside a nice, modern home.

“It’s my house. You’ll be safe in there.” Luke answered the silently asked question.

“Where are you going to go?” I asked him with the little bit of voice I had left after screaming at him.

“Back to see if everyone’s okay.” Luke shrugged his shoulders.
“What if Michael comes here and gets in?” I asked him and he just shook his head.

“Trust me, Michael can’t get in here. I have boundaries.” Luke told me as he unlocked the door to his home. He walked inside, I didn’t follow.

“How am I going to get inside? Aren’t those boundaries supposed to block out the supernatural?” I asked him, hoping the answer was yes so I didn’t have to stay here and I could go with him.

“No, only the evil ones. I will even tell you a little secret.” I saw him sit on his couch. Following his actions, I quickly made my way in and shut the door. He sat on one end of the couch and I sat on the other.

“What’s this ‘secret’ you wanted to tell me?” I questioned him with one cocked eyebrow.

“Okay so you have to promise not to tell, only I know this and Ashton told me not to tell anyone.” Luke held out his pinky. I connected my pinky with his in a pinky promise.

“I promise. What are you trying to tell me?” I looked at Luke who had a nervous look in his eyes.

“Ashton, he isn’t normal.” I opened my mouth to speak but Luke silenced me.

“He is a telepathic. He doesn’t want anyone else to know. If he doesn't use his power right, he could destroy many things” I couldn’t speak. Ashton isn’t normal, but then again neither am I.

Notes

Not sure if I like this chapter. Oh well. It may or may not contribute to the plot later on... but oh well. Suprise! sorry this is so short. I just didn't have motivation to write. Lately, writing has been getting harder and harder. I've been really down about a recent breakup. It may be a week or so before I update again. I have to have some motivation.
