A smirk was on Vinnie's face. "Miss me babe?"
My wide eyes went over to Elaine. "You're with him?" I screamed.
"Don't get jealous now, Nikkole. You had your chance with him and ruined it." Elaine told me with a grin.
I couldn't let her attack me before I at least had a chance to get back at her. So, I did a high kick of fire at her, which didn't help my knee feel any better. But, before the fire hurt her, Vinnie canceled it out before sending blue flames at me. (Every fire elemental can do this; it's when the flames are the hottest.)
With a scream of pain, I fell down. The burning sensation had tears come to my eyes. "How could you?" I started to yell at Elaine. "How could you betray us like this? We were your family!"
The sounds of growls were quickly around us.
"Nikkole, are you okay?" Oliver asked crouching own beside me.
I said nothing. My anger started to grow as I finally began to put all the signs together.
Elaine was in contact with Vinnie since he had left. They planned this together. That's why she was so edgy and acting so different. She was always on his side. She betrayed us all and she did it with a smile on her face. There was no guilt.
I'm not sure how I was able to get up. Half of my right arm was severely burned and my knee was injured still. Before I could even fully realize what I've done, I was already on top of Elaine, punching her over and over. Burning her was something I couldn't do but, hitting her was a total different story.
"You bitch!" I screamed when she was finally able to push me off of her. "You betrayed us all for that bastard? We were your family! We would do anything for you and you were planning this all along?"
Another grin was on her face. "You all were just so easy to fool."
And with that, she sent another gust of wind at me. This time, I was actually pushed off the cliff. Luckily, I was able to grab the edge of the cliff side.
My legs were dangling, trying to find something to use to push myself up. The pain in my right arm was increasing quickly but, I couldn't let go. If I fell, I would drown. I somehow managed to start to pull myself over, my foot resting on a branch.
A pair of hands was quickly on one of my arms. Relief ran through me but, when I looked up, it was gone. It was Vinnie who grabbed me. By the smirk on his face, he wanted this to happen. As soon as he could, he sent a wave of electricity through me. (He's one of the very few of the fire elementals that can do this.) Suddenly, everything as black. Even though my eyes were wide open, I couldn't see a thing.
The feeling of falling was there but, quickly stopped. Someone had grabbed the back of my shirt and was haling me back up.
"Nikkole, look at me." That was Mason talking to me. "I need to see your wounds."
"I can't." I muttered utterly terrified.
"What you mean you can't? Just look at me, Kole."
"I can't!" I yelled. "I can't see anything! Everything is black!
