I Am Destruction

Ally's POV

I moved through twigs and branches. Jumped over arched branches bound into the ground and vaulted over rocks as I went deeper into the forest. I could see the sunset and fear crept into my mind. What if I was kidnapped? Taken? Imprisoned for life like Cody?

Or maybe I was just exaggerating?

I sighed as leaves crunched beneath my feet, and crows croaked above the tree's flying in circles.

I walked deeper into the woods as I crossed a bridge quickly. Water fell in beneath cracks from deformed rocks as lily pads floated underneath the bridge floating to the same delicate waterfall nearby. I went even deeper inside the woods. Tree's blocked the light of sunset and the coo's of owls floated through the air. As autumn leaves crunched beneath my feet. My body shivered with fear as I saw a glint of silver in the distance.

I squinted my eyes as I saw a fiery orange light. I came closer, jogging over to duck behind a tree.

Suddenly I heard the sound of a voice humming.

I quickly dodged behind a rock peeking over to see the where the voice was coming from. "You can come out from hiding now." the voice commanded.

I froze in my spot. Should I run and hide? Scream and shout for help? In one quick movement fire ascended from the ground hitting the rock as it crumbled to pieces right in front of me.

I froze looking at the eyes that shot daggers through me. "P-please don't hurt me!" I begged holding up my hands in the surrender.

The person grabbed my shirt lifting me off the ground. The only thing I could see was his eyes that sparkled like diamonds.

"You're not supposed to be in here."

"I know and I'm so sorry. I was just-"

"Silence!" the voice commanded. I shut my mouth as I felt tears coming on. I would never see the sun again, never see my dad again...

"What are you doing in evergreen forest?" The voice asked strong and steady, but forceful and demanding. "I... I.."

His body shivered for a moment. "You're a Siren."

I nodded repeatedly as I could almost sense his smirk. "A girl like yourself shouldn't be lurking around after dark."

I whimpered as he sat me down on the ground, a hoodie covering his face but a marking on his chest was fully exposed. "Ally!" A voice called in the distance. I realized soon that it was Lucas himself. "You better be quiet if you don't want me to hurt the boy." the voice ordered.

I was planning to scream but as if he knew I was he covered my mouth pulling me over his shoulder and walking into the dark night. My screams were muffled by his hand as I kicked my legs forcefully.

"Allison!" Lucas called once again before his voice became a faint call in the distance. Soon my eyelids became heavy as I was consumed in complete darkness.

A loud shot awoke me from my peaceful slumber. My eyes fluttered adjusting to the light, I struggled to get up but my hands were bound together. The rope rubbed against my bare skin making me wince in pain.

Suddenly the man with the hoodie came in. His hoodie still hiding his face.

"L-let me go!" I yelled pulling against the ropes.

He circled around me rubbing his chin as he observed me. Suddenly I felt exposed, as if my every movement was being watched.

He sat in a chair leaning back obviously in deep thought. I could feel his eyes bore into me as I sat there tugging with all my might at the unbreakable ropes.

"Stop trying."

I tugged even harder feeling my skin chafe against the ropes like burning rubber, "I will not! Who do you think you are kidnapping little girls! You pervert!" I screamed. He chuckled, "Pervert? That doesn't sound like me at all and you don't look little."

"I'm 16!"

"I know." He said getting up from his chair. "Who are you?!" I demanded.

"That is none of your business."

"Let me go!" I screamed, "Why don't you just freeze the ice and run."

"Because I can't ok?!"

"Why not?" He asked with interest. I sighed, "Because I don't have powers."

"You don't have powers? That's impossible, you have to have powers." He said firmly. "Well I don't ok? I'm a late bummer."

"After 16 years?" He asked rhetorically. I rolled my eyes at his impassive manner, "Let me out!" I screamed tugging at the ropes. He just sat down on the floor in front of me, hands in his lap. "Do you know who I am?"

"No and there is no point in wanting to know because after I get out of this place I am never coming back again!"

"You're a feisty one." he said amusingly. "And you're an idiot." I snapped at him. He gave a fake sad look gasping as he put a hand to my heart, "And I thought we were friends." he said with a smirk.

"Ha ha, so funny I forgot to laugh."

"You're not one for comedy." He said. "Obviously."

Suddenly we heard the sound of murmurs underneath the tree house. He got to his feet quickly coming behind me and untied the ropes. I wiggled free, massaging my hands slowly to produce blood flow once again. "Hey open up!" the voice of a fire guard boomed through the small tree house. "Follow me." the hoodie man commanded. He grabbed my wrist and opened the door leading to a wooden balcony. He grabbed a rope that was hanging from a strong branch above us.

"Do you trust me?" He asked holding out his hand.

I looked at him in confusion, "What?"

He groaned, "Do you trust me?" he repeated. I nodded slowly as he took my waist pulling me closer to him as we slid down the rope all the way to the ground. We landed with a loud thump. We got to our feet scrambling as we ran behind the tree house down a path and clear away from the fire guards.

I huffed trying to catch my breath, I looked around finding that I was only a couple inches from the gates back into Corinth's.

"W-why were we running from the guards?" I asked maintaining my breath.

"They found out someone broke into evergreen forest... you're in so much trouble." He exclaimed.

"Wow way to dim some light on the situation." I said sarcastically. "You have to get out of here." He said pushing me towards the gates. I felt around my neck realizing that my mom's necklace was gone. "My mom's necklace, it's gone... we have to go back and find it!"

I walked past him but grabbed my waist pulling me back. "You have to go now." he demanded. We walked to the front gates as he lifted me up by grabbing my waist.

I grabbed a hold of a bar and vaulted over the fence landing safely on the other side. I looked at him as he took off his hoodie revealing himself. He had blonde hair and bangs that fell right over his eyebrows. He was tall and built and eyes that were like swimming pools of chocolate.

He smiled at me and walked off into the woods, "Wait what's your name!?" I asked. He stopped in his tracks and looked back, "Austin." and with that he ran back into the dark woods of evergreen forest without a trace.
