The Fallen
Ally's POV
A couple minutes after I heard the soft sound of Austin snoring I quietly slipped out of the bed. I slipped on my ballet flats and grabbed Austin's keys to the black jeep. It wouldn't hurt to take his car for a while would it? I put the keys into my back pocket and opened the door, slowly slipping out. I walked down the corridor and through the main lobby escaping through the front doors.
The chill of the wind ran through my shirt giving me the chills. I found the jeep and hopped into the drivers seat. I grabbed my leather bag that Austin threw and sat it in my lap as I reached for my back pocket. But the keys were gone. Oh no Austin's going to kill me. (Not that he's already tried)
I checked my other pocket but it wasn't there, I groaned in annoyance. "Looking for these?"
I screamed as I found Austin sitting in the passengers seat dangling the keys on his index finger. "What are you doing here?"
"What does it look like? I'm stopping you from trying to save Joyel." I gave him a look. "I read your mind, you have an interesting mind by the way." he said huskily. He dangled the keys in my face as I reached out to snatch it but he pulled back right in time. "Why would you try going alone? Were you listening to anything I said in the past hour?"
"Austin give me the keys. I don't have time for this." I snapped at him.
He grimaced, "No one touches my baby."
I laughed, "You're joking. Just give me the keys." I reached over trying to snatch them as he pulled them back. "And when you need a ride in this car. I am the driver and the only driver got it?"
"Got it 100% got it now, can we please go?"
"Sure thang gumdrop." I sighed and got out of my seat walking over to the passengers side and jumping inside as I slammed the door. Austin winced lightly, "Be soft on her." he said with a playful laugh. I rolled my eyes and buckled up as he started the engine. It roared to life as he backed out of the parking lot. He stepped on the gas lightly as we pulled out of the parking lot. "Can you go any faster?" I asked.
"Why? So you can step on your imaginary brake?" he said in amusement. I glared at him. He sighed and stepped on the gas as we sped up. He passed a red light purposely. "Austin they have cameras for doing that stuff!" I yelled as we drove down the road faster than lightning. "Do I care?"
"Do you even have a drivers license? That's the real question." I asked as he turned on a curve making me slide right into him. "Do you really want me to answer that?" he said a smirk playing on his lips. We drove down the road 70 miles per hour and that was past the regular speed limit. Apparently Austin doesn't like to read inside or outside of school. Ravenswood Academy came into view as he pulled up in the parking lot.
"I thought we were going to Marino High."
"Well Dallas' car is here." Austin said unstrapping himself. "How do you know what his car looks like?"
"Did some research."
"You do research?" I asked getting out of the car. "Nope I just followed the trail. Gods and goddesses leave a golden trail if they aren't too far away."
"Austin! We could possibly following Demeter or Boreas!" I yelled hitting his shoulder knowing it wouldn't hurt him one bit. "It's definitely not Boreas or Demeter, an amateur would only know better to leave a trail a stupid one at that." He said locking the car. Suddenly were heard a large scream come from the building. I ran up to the door as it opened easily. "Ally!" Austin yelled in the distance but I was too caught up in the moment. I needed to find Joyel. I wasn't leaving without her.
The door slammed closed. I pulled on the handle's but the door wouldn't budge; I was locked inside...
I walked down the endless hallway. "Joyel!" I yelled passing a glass display of trophies.
I started into a run then into a dash down the hallway until I tripped and fell to my knees. "What the-" I looked back to see Elliot dead on the floor. I screamed as I stared in complete horror. How could Dallas be so horrible so... destructive.
I got up to my feet as I saw the library door opening slowly but creepily...
I walked toward it and slipped inside. I passed the front desk but stopped in my tracks as I saw a hand.Please don't let it be Joy please...
I looked behind the desk and gasped as I saw Dallas. He was barely breathing. His body was shaking and his eyes were open. "D-dallas?" I got on my knees and held his hand softly as he shook violently. "Run..." He said breathing deeply. I took his advice and got up running out of the library as fast as I could. Suddenly I ran into someones chest, knocking me straight to the ground.
"Now where do you think you're going?"
I looked up and stared at the face in shock. "Elliot?! B-but you were just-"
"Dead over there? Yes, yes I was." he said with an amused smile. "How are you alive?!" I screamed backing up. "Quiet!" he barked and soon my lips were sealed shut. It felt like they were glued together and wouldn't pull apart.
"You're mine now." He grabbed my body hauling me over his shoulder and into the darkness of the hallway. Mumbled words came out from my raspy throat just barely. I kicked my feet hard. He grabbed my ankles, his hand glowing a dark purple color. Soon my legs felt as numb. My vision blurred and the darkness overthrew my eyes...
