A/N: Well since I kind of left you guys out on a loop. Your assumptions on this story was totally funny, I mean the ending of that story was a total twist. Oh, and before you guys start asking, this story is going to be probably only three chapters, maybe four, but no more than five. Anyway, I adored your reviews! I can't believe CoA got to 300 reviews, well 301 in just nine chapters!

Anyway, enough talk, here's the first chapter to the sequel.


Inside the Fire

Summary: Sequel to Crawling on Ashes; at the end of Crawling on Ashes, Clare had forgiven Eli, well so you assumed. Her plan to make Eli suffer is going to be long, torturous, and not to mention… sexy.


Chapter 1

It had been exactly three days since I had forgiven Eli, well so he thinks.

I wanted to make him think that everything is okay, that I believed him when he said that he was sorry. Unfortunately, to his dismay, I'm only playing with him. I'm going to make him feel like the way he made me feel when I found out what he had did.

I was standing next to my locker, waiting for Eli like I had always done each day. The hallway soon was crowded with a sea of people, and I had soon spotted Eli. He enveloped his arms around my waist and leaned down to kiss me. I didn't turn away, only responded to the kiss. His lips left mine and I smiled up at him.

"So, are we still going to The Dot?" He asked.

I thought about it as he opened his locker, tossing his books inside.

After what seemed like forever, I nodded.

"Yea." I said.

Eli slammed his locker shut and turned to me. I smiled warmly at him and he interlaced his fingers with mine after grabbing my hand in his. We walked out of the school, and he led me to Morty; Eli opened the door for me, and I climbed in. He walked around and climbed into the driver's side of his vintage hearse.

Soon enough, we were heading towards the Dot. When we arrived, I climbed out, and both Eli and I walked inside. We took our usual spot at the back booth, both sitting next to each other. Eli wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we both glanced at the menu sitting in front of us.

"I think I'm going to get the cheese fries." I said.

"That's fine." Eli responded.

I smiled and waited for him to order. Eli normally ordered the dot's cheeseburgers and extra fries, but today he got just a plate of fries.

"Can I start you guys off with something to drink?" Peter, the manager and server, of the Dot asked.

"Yeah, I'll get an Ice-T." I said.

"Okay, what about you?" Peter asked, his question directed to Eli. He glanced up and told Peter that he wanted water. Peter disappeared, leaving Eli and I by ourselves. Eli placed a kiss on my temple and I smiled a little at him. I interlaced our fingers and leaned my head against his shoulder.

As we waited for our drinks, I moved my head back a bit, and pressed my lips against his neck. Eli stiffened, but I continue to open mouth kiss his soft neck. Eli cleared his throat and he shifted in his seat. I smirked a little, and pulled my lips back the second I saw Peter walking to us with the drinks. He placed them in front of us, and I gladly took mine, placing a straw in the glass.

I wrapped my lips around it and took a sip while Eli brought his glass up to his lips. I reached down under the table, placing my hand directly on his inner thigh. Eli stiffened again and I started to slowly stroke his inner thigh, pulling a small gasp from his lips.

I know what I was doing was wrong, but this is indeed all part of my plan. I'm going to enjoy this torture. My hand moved in between his legs, and I could feel Eli's erection growing against his thigh. I smirked again, and pulled my hand away; he whined in his throat.

I kissed his neck and took a sip of my tea.

"You're going to regret doing that." Eli whispered huskily.

I smiled, remembering how his husky voice would either make me shudder, whimper, or moan, but not this time.

I only turned to him and said, "Oh really? Well bring it on Elijah."

Eli smirked and he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling my close to his chest.

I leaned back against him and he pressed his lips against my neck. I had somehow forgotten that we were in a public place; our little heated make-out was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We instantly pulled away.

"Are you guys going to have something to eat? Or are you going to continue devouring each other?" Peter asked.

I couldn't help the blush that colored my cheeks and I whispered, "I'll have some cheese fries."

Peter nodded.

"What about you?"

"Just regular fries." Eli responded.

We were left alone again, and Eli had pulled me to him. I leaned against his chest and sighed heavily. I thought about what I was going to do next. My plan is really just to tease him, and then go off to Adam and make it look like we're dating. Adam knows about my plan, so I'm not really using him, because he offered to help me with it.

A small smile played at my lips when I finally figured out what to do next.

All I know is that Eli and I are going to his place after this, and it's going to get quite "messy". I plan to make him suffer is developing more in my head, and I honestly couldn't wait until I put it into action.

"Hey Eli." I turned to him.

Eli glanced down at me with his beautiful eyes and asked, "Yes?"

"Why don't we go ahead and get out of here? I have a surprise for you." I purred.

"Oh really?" Eli questioned, his hand reaching up to brush my hair away from my face.

I nodded curtly and leaned forward to kiss his lips.

"Well let's go then." Eli got up and he wasted no time in putting a few bills on the table, and then quickly walked out of The Dot. I took a sip of my tea before I followed behind him. Eli draped his arm around my shoulders and asked, "So what's the surprise?" I glanced up at him and then smiled a little.

"You're going to have to wait and see."
