Yes! Chapter 10! I never forget u guys!
"How could you be so stupid?" Ash asked as the door shut behind him. They were in Mary-Lynnette's room this time because she had been kind of tired after her fight with Blaise, but Ash was not going to let her off that easy.
"Excuse me?" She shot back turning around from where she stood, about to jump on her bed.
"How could you been so stupid?" Ash repeated.
"I wasn't being stupid." Mary-Lynnette said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Ash's eyes blazed. "So just saying 'come on Blaise is that all you got' intelligent? She could have killed you!"
"Well she didn't!" Mary-Lynnette yelled back. "So will you calm down?"
You know I don't want to see you get hurt!" Ash protested. "What if you realized you were fighting a friend and stopped, she could have hurt you then."
"Well she hadn't!" Mary-Lynnette yelled. "And it isn't the first time I've fought a friend either." Too furious to realize what a curtail mistake she had just made was.
"You what?" Ash screamed running to her and putting his hands on her shoulder shaking her violently. "Who else have you fought?"
Mary-Lynnette looked away and whispered. "Morgead."
Ash stilled then tensed up on her shoulders. "You fought Morgead? He would have defiantly killed you!"
"Well he didn't!" Mary-Lynette screamed. "Now let me go!"
Ash released her as if she was on fire, then he looked from his hands back to her. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I knew you would freak." Mary-Lynnette replied rubbing her shoulder. "At least it was only one person that time."
Ash walked back up to her, "That time? Mary-Lynnette how many people have you been fighting?"
Mary-Lynnette sighed. "It was only a few guys, from some gang nothing that bad…"
"Nothing bad?" Ash cried, running his hand through his hair in a blurred motion. "You shouldn't be fighting anyone Mary-Lynnette, I love you and I want to protect you from-"
"Protect me?" Mary-Lynnette repeated. "I've been on my own thank you very much while you've been chasing Lily around this whole city! I learned to protect myself, I had to Ash."
"You didn't have to do anything." Ash yelled back. "You should have let someone else handle it."
"I handled it fine on my own!" Mary-Lynnette protested.
"Well I'm never letting you handle it on your own again." Ash told her.
Mary-Lynnette's eye brows rose. "Is that an order?"
Ash nodded. "Right now, yes it is."
"Well you can't order me what to do." Mary-Lynnette yelled. "Who are you? My boy friend or my father?"
"I'm your soul mate!" Ash yelled.
"Then start acting like it!" Mary-Lynnette screamed back. "And start treating me like a person, not something that is too fragile to do anything or say anything on her own!"
Ash sighed. "I'm not doing that, I just don't want you to ever do that again."
Mary-Lynnette took a deep breath. "I won't unless I have too."
"You won't period." Ash announced.
"What did I just say Ash?" Mary-Lynnette gasped. "If I have to I'll do what I need to, you can't tell me-"
"I'm telling you what the smart thing is to do!" Ash yelled. "Just because you're acting like a spoiled child, who's not smart enough to see that I'm trying to protect her doesn't mean-"
"Get out." Mary-Lynnette whispered.
Ash froze, "Excuse me?"
"I said." Mary-Lynnette spoke calmly. "Get. Out."
Ash's face fell, and he took a step closer to his soul mate. "Mary-Lynnette, I-"
"Get out Ash." Mary-Lynnette repeated pushing him to the door. As they got closer she pulled the doorknob and it swung open, allowing her to push Ash under the door frame and out into the hallway. "I want to be alone, is that too childish?" She slammed the door hard and locked it, Ash's heart with every sound.
The door clicked again and Mary-Lynnette appeared in its narrow frame, holing something in her hand. "Here." She tossed a box wrapped red and green wrapping paper to Ash. "It's your Christmas present. Merry Christmas." She slammed the door again and locked it, as Ash's heart burst into a million pieces.
. . .
Cassandra sat staring out the window for hour, even though she hadn't actually been able to see much, but she knew what was coming.
A Vampire appeared at the other side of the gate; he laid his hands on the bars and started to climb until he was at the top. When he jumped down onto the grass and his feet touched the soil, he disappeared. A small burnt patch in the ground was the only thing that was left from where the Night person had been standing, making Cassandra smile.
"Bye, bye." She whispered getting up to go to see Mary-Lynnette.
. . .
Of all the arguments she had shared with Ash, this one had to be the worst. He had called her a spoiled brat for Pete's sake! How was she supposed to react to that? Just brush it off and forgive him? No. He couldn't tell her what to do, ad he shouldn't expect her to either, she was his soul mate, his equal but he treated her like a fragile butterfly. It made her want to scream. But all of those reasons enough wouldn't let her forget the image of him out of her face. He was completely broken, demolished, destroyed. And she had done that. What had she done?
Someone knocked softly on the door. "Mary-Lynnette?" Cassandra's fragile voice asked. "Can I come in?"
Mary-Lynnette wiped the tears from her eyes and climbed off of her bed to unlock the door, to let her friend in.
"Hey. Mary-Lynette said as Cassandra walked past her into the familiar bedroom, a small smile on her young face. "What's up?"
"You and Ash were fighting?" Cassandra asked sitting onto a couch, and folding her hands under her chin.
Mary-Lynnette sighed and sat down next to her. "Yea we were."
"He isn't very nice is he?" Cassandra asked placing her hand on Mary-Lynnette's wrist.
Mary-Lynnette shook her head. "No he is he just…can be annoying at times."
Cassandra nodded. "I just think he's mean. He shouldn't have to tell you what to do, you can think for yourself can't you?"
Mary-Lynnette gazed down at Cassandra, her mouth aghast. "Excuse me?"
Cassandra kept on talking though. "If he's your soul mate why does he treat you like a child? Yes, he doesn't want you to get hurt but calling you stupid and yelling at you?" She shook her head slowly. "He's not very nice at all."
Mary-Lynette shook her head again. "No that's not that, he just…it's just…it's…...just...…." Mary-Lynette fell off of the couch onto the floor, fast asleep, leaving Cassandra alone in her room.
She turned around and walked to the window, pulling it strait up and allowing the warm air in that made the light curtains twist and spin. She smiled out of the window, laying her hand which held her bracelet against the edge and then swiftly turned around, skipping to the door and out into the hallway as if she was never there. While Mary-Lynette dreamed, a peaceful nightmare.
