Chapter 9
I grabbed her throat before she could make a move. I quietly closed the doors behind me and enclosed my hand tighter around her neck. I jumped off the balcony with a slight off thud and ran in the forest with my hand still around her throat. I got about a hundred feet before she got loose and jumped ten feet away. We circled each other, her smirking an evil smirk, me glaring. Of course Darcy would come back. She just wants to make my life a living hell.
"I would have killed you sooner, but I wanted to be generous and give you some more time to have some screaming moaning pleasure time, you seem to enjoy it now, seems you're his little whore. He seems to like you, and he must be really good because I could hear your moans from the woods and that is really sad. He is really loud too, although he can't even finish your name-." I cut her off,
"Don't ever talk about him again." I snarled. She just laughed. She stopped for a minute watching me through with dead eyes, never looking away.
"You know, maybe I will even give me a go when your dead." She said happily. I almost ripped her neck off right then. "But I figured you would be more responsible then to fuck a werewolf, I mean they might be better in bed, which of course I would know, but I thought you hated children of the moon, I don't blame you either, they always forget your name. I guess he doesn't forget your name though, he said it quite a few times. And I can't believe your family didn't come and separate you two. I mean I would have gone insane if I had to listen to that any longer. I am just glad he finished up so soon." Darcy said evilly. I felt my eyes turn black. I felt my hands start to burn. I clenched my hands into fists.
"Darcy, I swear I am going to-." She cut me off.
"You are going to what? Let your little puppy loose on me, oh I am so scared. Let me guess, he is yours always will be yours and no one can make him moan like you?" she asked with a laugh. "I mean it was pretty loud." She pretended to whisper.
"Why are you such a sick perv?" I hissed. I saw her flinch for a second, but she recovered quickly. I could see the hurt in her eyes, but also the longing and the hate.
"What? I can't speak the truth? Now how is that fair? I mean come on I am dying to know what attracts you to him. Let me guess, he has a nice butt? No, he has a great personality, no still no, oh I know, he is a good kisser?" She kept going on. I saw laugh and I almost punched her in the face right then.
"He loves me. That is why I love him; I am not in it all for sex. I love him, he loves me, and we are perfect. I am not a shallow whore like you." I spat. She just hissed and looked away. "Yeah, I know all about you Darc, you probably thought I was completely oblivious to what you do to people. I know exactly what you do. You trick people into thinking you love them, and then you kill them after you get what you want. You tried to do it to me too. Although I was smarter than you. I always have been, and you won't ruin this for me. I love him, and I will never love anyone else. Just like he loves me."
"He doesn't love you, come on, he is a guy. They are all the same. They want some bed buddies and then they drop them like flies. I wanted to save you the trouble." She spat back.
"You wanted to make me feel like shit and never experience love for myself." I hissed.
"What happened to love doesn't exist?" She laughed.
"Well, it does with us. He is my everything. He is mine forever, like I am his. You just manipulate people." I screamed.
"Believe me, it is not that hard." She laughed.
"Leave now, you'll get to leave with your life." I said evenly.
"No way." She laughed. "Well, I guess now I can kill you." She said evenly.
"Go ahead, go try. I dare you." I hissed. She lunged.
"You know, we could have very powerful, we could have ruled the human race, everyone would be so proud of us. I mean I bet Sarah and Gary are watching us from hell." She said with a laugh.
"You don't know what you are saying." I hissed again.
"Oh, but I do, I mean how could I not know, it is so obvious. You left the group to go bang a fucking dog, what is there to get. You left Sarah to fend for herself with me. All for some little puppy." She hissed.
"He is the best damn thing that happened to me. I would never do anything to hurt him." I snarled.
"I doubt that, I mean you are lying to him. You didn't tell him you studied dark magic, or about all the little pathetic humans we killed. I bet you didn't tell me anything about that." She laughed.
"You killed them, I was just weak enough to watch, and it wasn't dark magic. You were the one who turned it evil." I hissed while baring my teeth.
"Well, still he will never know after I kill you." She hissed back. I heard Jake calling me in the distance. "Looks like your boy toy wants to ride the horse again."
"Shut up, just shut up!!" I said as I lunged at her and tackled to the ground. I bit her neck and the blood flowed like crazy. I used fire and burned her hand, I saw her flinch and I almost laughed. She pulled a knife from her pocket and aimed for my heart. I jumped up before she could get a swipe in. I used all my energy and used wind to blow the knife away. I used fire to burn her again. It got her leg and she was on the ground covering the raw skin. I heard the wind picking up and I felt a shiver run through me. I saw the dagger ten feet away. I saw Darcy fall over trying to breath as the blood rushed form her neck. I walked over to the blade and carefully picked it up.
"You ruined my life, you disrespected me and my imprint, my life and my world, my sun and my moon, my family and my ex-girlfriend I won't let you hurt anyone else." I said evilly.
"We were always made to be our own enemies. But you will see me again; I just won't be the same." She whispered. I could hear the lie and almost see it visible. Before she could say anything else I plunged the dagger in her heart. I saw her gasp but eventually her breathing stopped. I checked her pulse…dead…nothing. I closed her eyes and called all of the elements to me.
"Burn her body…and all the blood." I felt the fire leave and I watched in amazement as all the fire burned her body into a pile of ashes and all of the dirt was burned right on top. I centered myself and tried to find any trace other than the bloody cloths I am wearing, for a trace of her being here. But I found nothing.
"Spread the ashes around the world." I whispered. I felt the wind leave me and I saw the ashes being carried away in the wind. "Bye Darcy." I whispered. I made my way back to the house. I decided it would be best if my family didn't see me like this, so I walked up the stairs to my balcony. I reached the top took a deep breath, and walked in. Jake looked franticly as I walked in and he immediately tensed when he saw the blood.
"She is gone, she won't bother us again." I said carefully. He ran over and despite my world appearance, hugged me and kissed my forehead.
"You killed her, didn't you?" He asked,
"Yes. I had too, she would have killed you." I whispered. "I am going to take a shower."
"Okay." He whispered. I ran over to the bathroom and quickly jumped in and washed off. I let the warm water relax my stiff muscles. I felt myself relax and after all the traces of blood were gone I jumped out. I quickly got a pair of shorts and a big black tee.
"Fire burn the blood and cloths." I said quickly as I cuffed my hands and sent fire to burn it. After it was all burned I used wind to blow it outside. I ran back out. Jake sat on the bed with his head in his hands.
"Jake?" I asked. His head snapped up and looked straight at me, I smiled and e smiled back, but it didn't reach his ears. "She's gone; you don't have to worry anymore."
"I'm not worried about me," He whispered.
"Than what are you worried about?" I asked as went over and sat right next to him, wrapping my arms around him.
"You just killed her, I mean the other day you didn't even want to hurt her, and now you can kill her, I am worried that this may be to much for you to handle." He whispered.
"Jake, when I saw her out there. She said some things about you that I didn't like, and if some other guy said that about me, you would have killed him too, I was protecting you. No one goes near you." I said seriously. I saw his face range from shock to understanding to curiosity.
"What did she say?" He asked.
"Believe me you don't want to know." I whispered. He smiled and nodded.
"I do want to know actually." He laughed.
"Just that when I am dead that she wants you." I muttered. "Stuff like that."
"Well, you were right." I saw his hands tremble slightly. I leant my head against his shoulder. We both sighed. "Are you okay, though? I mean you seemed hesitant the other day when you had the chance to kill her, and you didn't, and now you just did."
"Jake, she didn't say anything about you yesterday, and when she said it today, it just pushed me off the edge. I was seeing red. I was surprised I was able to kill her and snap out of survival mode so fast. No one talks about you like that, so I decided to was time to end it. Right then. And I did, I gave her the chance to leave, but she didn't. She wanted me dead, so I killed her first. I wanted to makes sure you were safe, and if I had to kill her to make you safe, I will, I will do anything for you." I whispered.
"I love you." He said with a slight smile as he rested his cheek on the top of my head.
"I love you to." I said happily.
"Are you sure she is gone?" He asked as he examined my face. I thought over the last words she said. 'You will see me again; I just won't be the same.' I remember the look in her eyes, she looked like she was lying, but she also looked so determined. I can't really be sure.
"Yes, I spread her ashes, she is long gone." I lied. I saw him nod and look deep in thought. "The pack won't be happy about it, will they?"
"No, but about how she was here, not that you killed her. They might praise you actually." He laughed.
"Well, they should know, I did it for you. And I won't kill anyone again." I said with a small smirk.
"Of course you won't." He said with a laugh. I heard a loud howl and it made the hair on my neck stand up. "The pack needs help."
"I'm coming with you." I said as I jumped up.
"No, it is just some pack stuff, we can handle it." He tried to convince me.
"I am coming with you no matter what. You can't get rid of me now. You're are suck with me for eternity." I laughed.
"Somehow, I love the sound of that." He laughed.
"Wait, my family…I can't leave them here." I whispered. Then it hit me I ran down stairs and left a quick note on their doors and ran back to my room. I saw Jake looking amused. I sat down crossed legged and started reciting.
'Make it easy for me to watch'
'Hear me, for the watch towers of the north, south, east, and west.'
'Keep them safe.'
I whispered that over and over again so fast that I could barely make out what I am saying. I quickly jumped up and stood right at his side before he could blink.
"What was that?" He asked with a laugh.
"Well, I did a spell, nothing too flashy, just a simple watching spell. No I can see everything my family does." I said happily. He raised his eyebrow. "Not like that you perv." I joked.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Come on." I said with a loud laugh. He just laughed too and followed him down the stairs to the woods. "Do you want me to transport us, or do you want to phase?"
"I think I should phase first." He said evenly. I watched as he quickly stripped down and walked about 1 foot away and phased without a problem. He howled a loud agonizing howl and sat down. I sat right next to him and turned on my mind reading.
'Jake, finally.' Embry thought.
'Sorry guys I was…busy.' Jake thought sheepishly.
'Ugh, good Jake spare us the details and stop replaying it in your mind.' Leah thought.
'Sorry.' Jake thought embarrassed.
'Jake, we discovered an unknown scent in the woods, we can't figure out whose it is, all we know is it is not human and not a vampire.' Sam thought.
'Does it smell like honey and hazelnut?' I asked with my mind.
'Who is that?' Sam thought.
"Mia, you know Jacob's imprint, I can read minds and put my thoughts in someone else's mind.' I thought back.
'Well, okay, and yes it does.' Sam thought back.
'How old is the trail?' I asked.
'Maybe about 3 minutes.' Leah thought. I gasped out loud, how can she, I mean she is dead. How?
'Smell harder, do you smell ginger and coconut mixed with a hint of fudge?' I shot back urgently. (I don't know I just thought of something random, the Wicca's always have a specific scent in my story, along with a general one depending on which coven you are in.-
'Yes, but not fudge, it is like a vanilla mixed with brown sugar.' Seth thought. How can, I mean how can they, no they can't be, why?
