Greetings everyone! I'm sooooooo sorry I haven't updated in MONTHS! I got a new
job and with school it just wasn't working! However sports has ended and school
has been winding down. SO I will be updating every week, sometime more! And I
mean it this time! So here's a lovely chapter filled with much drama! Enjoy!
LPOV
I was stunned by Jets bold kiss but I kick started in the next second. Jet could
fend for himself so I veered to the left, to the guy who blasted the tree we
were at. He would pay dearly, they all would, if I could bend this would be so
much easier, however, that would ruin everything.
The smoke cleared and I saw the guard I was bounding after. He made the motion
to bend but I was quicker, the sword I was clutching was now hurling towered his
chest. With precise accuracy it sunk through his armor and into his chest,
presumably where the heart would be. He clutched his chest and sank to his
knee's gasping for air. Not breaking my stride I kicked him hard right in the
face, so hard that his neck cracked and he fell limp. I took my blade and
searched for Jet.
I saw him facing off with one fire bender, the other one was probably dead. I
wasn't surprised, I knew Jet was an amazing fighter. However I could see Jet
struggling slightly with the man he was fighting with. Jet was fighting almost
right on top of him, never allowing the guy enough space to bend safely. I
started to run straight so I'd loop around and flank him,
However when I came up behind them Jet had just delivered the final blow. Relief
swept through me only to have it replaced by another fear. We had to get back to
the hide out to see if everyone else was safe. Glancing at each other we nodded
as we started to run back. I knew in my gut this was it, they had found me and
Lord Caligar was going to take me back. Well not necessarily take me back, he
would threaten to kill everyone here then that would cause me to go willingly.
We stopped just before the clearing, so we would be hidden by the brush. Looking
out at the clearing my heart dropped. The tree's were burnt and everyone was
gathered in the center, surrounded by fire benders. I noticed that they were of
my rank, the Elites. The two that attacked Jet and I were lower ranked, only
used to lure us out of the forest. Jet swore and shook his head, I frowned
realizing we had to show ourselves.
"They must want something." He stated "Unless they would all be dead..let's go
but be cautious."
Jet stepped out from the brush and started making his way toward them. 'This is
It' I thought as I took a deep breath and followed Jet. As we got closer they all
turned and my 'brothers' surveyed me emotionlessly. Lord Caligar then stepped
out from the crowd of guards with a sadistic smile on his face.
"Ah, here's the girl of the hour." His voice boomed as he gazed upon me "Nice of
you to finally show up."
Jet's eyebrows scrunched in confusion as he looked between both of us, a hushed
whisper started among the rebels. Pain trickled into my chest as I looked at Jet
who had a confused expression.
"You know him Laurel?" Jet asked lowly.
I looked down and said nothing.
"Laurel?" Lord Caligar questioned "Is that what their calling you? How precious,
almost as precious as the fact that they don't know who you are, or what you
are. Care to tell them?"
The pain I was feeling was unbearable, I said nothing and began building up my
walls, to try and become the cold killer I was again. Lord Caligar started to
get agitated with my silence.
"State your name and rank soldier!" he snapped viciously.
"Cobrian, Elana. Personal guard, assassin, and escort to Lord Kyron James
Caligar. Head Guard of fire squad 116 and apart of infantry 12." I listed
emotionlessly.
"And how many people have you killed?" He asked curiously, well knowing that it
would shock everyone.
"One thousand three hundred and fifty six." I stated calmly.
The whole forest was completely silent, all you could hear was the burning of
the tree's. I knew that they were all shocked, and would never ever dream of
speaking to me again. I would be hurting right now If I hadn't reverted into my
old self. I was fine with that for the most part, I didn't belong here anyways.
They lived in harmony and peace, things like that didn't belong in my life.
"Okay we can leave, now say goodbye to your friends, or should I say ex
friends." Lord Caligar spoke with a smiling playing at his lips.I looked at Jet
who wasn't even looking at me anymore, his face was void of any emotion. My
heart ached dully, then my eye's traveled to my friends in the middle. Maggie, Ben,
and Ruth all met my gaze with sad eye's.
"I'm sorry." I said softly, even though it was a whisper it echoed throughout
the tree's. I turned and then walked up to Lord Caligar, body at attention and
eye's on the ground.
"Ah my sweet Elana." He exclaimed dramatically, pulling me into a hug. I
responded with only a small pat, knowing if I didn't do anything he would surely
get mad.
"Ah my sweet Elana." He exclaimed dramatically, pulling me into a hug. I
responded with only a small pat, knowing if I didn't do anything he would surely
get mad. "Now we shall take our leave, I promise to leave this little tree house
alone so long as 'Laurel' does do anything bad. If she does, then I'll burn this
place to the ground."
With that we left, I didn't bother to look back at Jet, I knew that he wouldn't
even be looking at me anyways. I felt unnaturally empty as I walked away, like a
big part of me was gone. Quickly though I focused on something else, not wanting
to unleash the emotions threatening to surface. I focused on getting into Lord
Caligar's carriage, and having him sit closely beside me. It took me everything
not to tense up at his closeness. I knew Lord Caligar found me attractive, and
made me do stuff with him sometimes. However now he could do anything he wanted
when he wanted by just threatening to hurt my old friends.
Lord Caligar was a young handsome man, tall and broad with blue eye's and curly
blonde hair. He had a strong jaw and a perfectly sculpted nose. Side glancing at
him I realized he was quite handsome, however his cruel and hubris manner made
him very undesirable. However who was I to talk? I killed over a thousand people
and was cold and collected. But I did have morals, which were becoming more
prominent. The ride to the estate was long and excruciating I couldn't wait to
get out and get back to the droning life I had run away from.
JPOV
She lied to us. She lied to all of us.
My brain couldn't comprehend what had just happened, it happened so fast and
soon Laurel was out of our lives forever. All the cells in my body seemed to
have completely shut down, I felt nothing. After the shock subsided I only felt
rage. I began to shake in anger, though when I went to look at my brother
standing before me my vision blurred.
I was crying?
I had never cried since the death of my beloved Jules. Jules was like me, she
had a deep hatred for the fire nation. However her hatred was even worse than
mine, it drove her over the edge and killed her. We had never truly said we were
together, we were young and didn't really know what love was. Though she held a
place in my heart.
"You okay?" Ben asked softly.
I clenched my jaw and blinked my tears away quickly. I stepped past my brother
to get a look at everyone. They all seemed fine for the most part, the tree's
were okay, some parts where burning slowly.
"Drake make a trench from the river and Maggie get on putting the fires out!" I
ordered the two benders. We were lucky that we had both an earth bender and
water, we would be screwed without them. "Everyone else make sure that everyone
is here and if they are hurt please tend to them."
Automatically everyone started getting to work, no one wanted to make a mistake
and cause them to get yelled at by me, I was a ticking time bomb. Frustrated I
headed into the forest and started to run as hard and fast as I could. I reached
the fountain that Laurel and I were just at hours ago. I looked down at the
black burned tree and an overwhelming sense of anger flooded through me. I then
started to hack at the dead tree angrily, yelling and grunting the whole time.
"Fuck!" I cursed loudly.
Why did this have to happen to me again? She was a traitor! She fooled us! She
played you! my inner voice seethed. I shook my head vigorously "No, her
emotions were real." I tried to convince myself.
But she's a fire bender Jetty boy! Did you forget that? Are you going soft on
me now?
"No." I growled fiercely "I just...thought I loved her."
Silence greeted me, so I sat down on the grass and did the only thing I vowed
never to do again. I cried. I cried and sobbed and curled up in a ball like the
Pathetic man I was. After a couple hours I heard someone approach. I rolled
over, I didn't feel like talking to anyone.
"It's okay Jet," a young female voice comforted "You wouldn't have seen it
coming."
Meela then started to run my back, weirdly I relaxed and began to feel soothed.
She treated me gently like a baby as I turned around and wrapped my arms around
her torso like a child. I buried my face in her chest and inhaled. She actually
smelt nice, not as good as Laurel though. I knew Meela was relishing my touch,
and right now I needed her. However this wouldn't happen again. Just because a
certain someone was out of the picture didn't mean I wanted her.
Soon it became dark and Meela coaxed me to come back home. I nodded and got up
reluctantly trailing beside Meela. It was silent at first then Meela began to
try and comfort me some more.
"I'll always be here for you Jet." She said "You don't need some pathetic fake,
I knew she was bad. Such a filthy fire bender, If she was here now I'd cut her
throat out."
As soon as those words registered in my head intense hatred flared through me. A
second after that I had seized Meela by the throat hard and slammed her up
against the tree. I looked her dead in her frightened large eye's.
".." I spoke through clenched teeth "I will cut your throat
out if you do."
I then released Meela's throat in disgust.
"I-I thought you hated her?" She stuttered.
"Yeah..I thought so to..."I said as I walked away.
Aaaaaaand that's a wrap!^_^ I hope it was okay! There will be even more drama
to come, trust me! Haha if anyone has any suggestions to what kind of drama I'm
willing to accept! and poor Jet is still very unsure of what to think of Laurel,
err, I mean Elana. It was a random name, Pronounced with a long E and laa-nuh xD if anyone has other cooler name changes that's awesome to! I'll update again
this weekend because I have a lot of plots in mind^_^ R&R please! Can't wait to
