She's coming.
"Come out, come out where ever you are."
She's here.
Chapter Nine
Emmet's POV
Balls of electricity were sparking on her hand, illuminating the house in an eerie blue color. Her pale skin glowed in the lighting and her eyes shined in the night like a cat. Her position related to one of a panthers. Her eyes scanned the kitchen, looking for one of us. I let her search through the kitchen for a while, still thinking how to approach her. "Emmet," she whimpered, "Emmet. I just want to talk to you." Great! Now she's bi-polar? "Please, Em. Don't hide from me. I thought you loved me." My bottom lip, I swear, started trembling at the sound of her weak voice. I crawled around the table, facing her back.
"Emmet?" her voice came out once more, softer this time. "Emmet!" Her true colors showed and that's when I leapt at her. My body hit her body with full force, knocking her weak and my arms went around her like iron bars to a cage. She held up her hands but suddenly Jasper was in front of her, splashing water at her from the kitchen sink. She screamed in agony as I watched in horror as her body doubled over in my arms, her own electricity back firing at her.
"Don't try," Jasper hissed at her, positioning the spray at her. She cried still in anguish.
"Shhhh," I hushed her and stroked her hair. Even after she attempted to kill me, make me feel pain, I still didn't hate her. I loved her more than anyone thought I should. She was my sun.
"Like go of me," she whimpered.
"No," I said, my voice hard.
"I SAID LET GO OF ME!" Suddenly blue electricity laced her body but it reached me also. I had never felt pain like this in my whole dead life. It hurt worse than the fire which was to bring me death. Only I wasn't dying. As much as I wanted to. The pain was unbearable. Worse than the venom. I glanced at Ivy who was hyperventilating, her hands on each edge of the counter, her hair coming undone. I wonder why she wasn't dead. I wondered how she was unmarked, but then I saw it. Her shirt had been torn slightly, her back and spine being shown. I saw the glowing tattoo looking like a scar that was the same color as her electricity. It was a picture of a fire. She was in pain, it just was a part of her. She turned around, coming at me again, gathering a ball of electricity in her palms but Jasper got to her, watering drenching her already soaked body. She screamed once more but kept advancing, her power regaining strength once more. Jasper sprayed her, this time she doubled over in pain, lying crippled on the floor. I watched in horror as the love in my life was having trouble breathing on the floor as her power was overloading. Even as quick as my brain worked it didn't seem fast enough, or smart enough to take this in carefully. Everything just hit me and my hand instantly started reaching for her. Jasper gave me a hard look.
"Either you do it, or I do."
I looked at him and sighed, kneeling next to Ivy. She was too occupied with the torment she was in to notice that I laid her body flat on the cool ground. I placed my cool body on top of hers, holding her head still with one hand. She struggled against him weakly but finally calmed down, her eyes fluttering close as is to surrender.
I leaned my head closer and whispered in her ear. "This may hurt, love." Her body stiffened and her eyes flipped open. I kissed her lips before punching her in the jaw and knocking her out.
Ivy's POV
My eyes slowly fluttered open. I didn't know where I was because my vision was blurred. But the ache in my jaw proved my memory that Emmet had punched me. The stupid fucking vampire. Bloodsucking leech! I shot up, only to find myself chained to a wall. I screamed in frustration, trying to melt the chains. As much bolts of electricity I threw at it, it wouldn't melt. I stopped focusing my attention at the chains and moved to my surroundings. It seemed like I was in a metal shack. The door was way out of my reach and all I could do was keep trying to send electricity to it but nothing would budge. I screamed again, this time I screamed a word. "EMMET!" I kept throwing bolts of electricity but nothing happened. Angry tears were streaming down my face. Suddenly the door creaked open and Emmet appeared. My anger was unbelievable. My breathing was labored and my eyes were glowering but Emmet didn't say anything except look at me with a sad expression.
"How could you do this to me?" I screeched. I didn't think he would chain me to a wall like some animal. But then realization hit me. That's what I was. I was an animal. A freak that should be put in the circus to perform tricks for the crowd. I crumbled to the ground, sobbing. Emmet finally came over, stroking my matted hair lovingly. He still loved me when I didn't think my heart could melt. I was a block of ice, worse than a vampire. It was too fast for me to see but I was suddenly being pulled into his lap. He wrapped his arms around and hushed me, wiping the tears away with his finger tips.
I sniffled looking up at him. "I deserve this, don't I? I'm just some freak that deserves to be exhibited in a zoo." He looked hurt at my words; it was heartbreaking to understand that after everything I have done he still loves me.
He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Never." I leaned into him sobbing. "I'm so sorry," he went on; "if I didn't leave you this wouldn't have happened wouldn't it? You would be normal; you would be who you want to be. What happened Ivy?"
I guess it wasn't a big secret anymore so I let it all out. "I could always do this it just wasn't so…overpowering. I could ignore it easily but then when you left people came looking for me. There were so many of them and they attacked me, knocking me out. I woke up what seemed like minutes later but I knew it was more than that. There was a man standing over me. He told me what he did; he enhanced my 'gift' and saying I wasn't alone. There was other's like me and I was special. I didn't want it though. He tried to get me to join this company. I refused so he shoved me onto the street. I was so alone and I could do things no one else could. All I want is to be normal and have a normal life but no! Now I don't age and I'm a monster."
"You don't age?"
I shook my head. "He messed up with my DNA or something."
"Oh baby." He hugged me tighter. "I'm so sorry."
"I love you," I whispered, cuddling to him closer.
"I love you too."
"Forever."
"Forever."
