I Am Destruction
Ally's POV
I sat down in one of Austin's chair as he was sharpening his knife. The dead silence filled the room and I I tapped my foot, anything to take my mind off of finding the fire warrior.
"Austin?" I asked.
"Yeah?" he said stopping his recent activity. "Why do you live in evergreen forest? Don't you know how dangerous this place is alone?" I asked. He sighed and got up to his feet coming over and sat down in a chair across from me. "I crave danger sweetheart."
"Well you shouldn't." I said taking a sip of water from my water bottle.
"Says the person who stepped into evergreen forest trying to look for a myth." Austin scoffed. "He's real Austin I just know it! I don't get why you're so against this, he could save Corinth's, my family, my friend everyone. He'd be a hero!" I exclaimed. "A monster can't be a hero Ally. That's just how it is. Do you realize how many people he's killed? Everything he touches burns down he's like a time bomb waiting to explode and cause chaos. Now tell me do you really want that?" he asked.
"No, but still maybe I could change him for good. I hear he has these great powers and his own fire changes color! Don't you think that's something worth fighting for?"
"No." he stated blandly.
I sighed, "You're so stubborn."
"I maybe am. But what's final is final, you are leaving evergreen forest and you can't come back Ally I mean it this time." He said intertwining his fingers. My expression turned into annoyed. I stood up and banged my fist on the table.
"You're not my parent so stop treating me like one! I'm sixteen not ten!" I yelled. He looked at me fury written all over his smooth features.
"I said no. You're leaving evergreen forest tonight Ally stop fighting me." he argued back. His tone was soft but firm. "I'm leaving that's for sure." I grabbed my bags and stuffed my water bottle in. I slung it over my shoulder and pulled my hair back out of my face. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked. "What does it look like? I'm leaving just like you asked." I scoffed and headed for the rope. I slid down and landed safely on the ground.
"Ally I'm sorry!" Austin yelled out. But I kept on walking, forcing myself not to look back. I made my way through thorn bushes as I felt a cold drop of water splash against my bare arm.
I looked up and saw that it was beginning to rain. Great, just my luck.
I sighed and continued my walk through the forest. I had to find the fire warrior, I just had too. Without him I'll never get my friend back, he just has to understand where I'm coming from.
Suddenly a bolt of ice flew past me, nearly hitting the side of my face.
I fell to the ground covering my head for protection. "A-ally?" An all too familiar voice called out. I looked up and saw that it was only Lucas. "Lucas!" I shouted jumping into his arms. His hands lifted me up spinning me around. I hugged him tightly feeling his warmth surround me. "I've missed you so much!" he said with excitement.
"What are you doing here in evergreen forest?" I asked with a smile.
"I'm on guard duty." he said sweetly. I stepped back in shock, "...Guard duty?"
"Oh yeah about that. Fates gave me a position in his army to rule out my punishment which was going to be death..." he said running his fingers through his hair. "What do you mean position in his army? Don't tell me you're a fire warrior..."
"Ally I can explain. I had no choice."
"I was going to save you Lucas! I wouldn't have let you die without a fight! And then to find out you're associating with the enemy that tore our own town down 50 years ago!?" I yelled at him. I broke away from his embrace refusing to look him in the eye. "I had no choice! I didn't want to-"
"How long do you have to be in his army?" I interrupted.
"Ally I-"
"Tell me now Lucas." I demanded. "For life..." he said. I looked into his eyes coldly. "Get away from me." I said. I started to walk away from him but suddenly I was frozen in my spot. I looked down to see that Lucas froze my ankles forcing me to stay still.
"Hey let me go!" I shouted.
"Ally forgive me and I won't turn you into Fates.." he said. I looked at him in disgust, "No I will never forgive you. You betrayed your own kind for life I hope you're happy with it." I retorted. He glared at me, "Then you're coming with me." he said. The ice disintegrated and he grabbed my arm forcing me through the tree's. "I can't believe you!" I said trying to pull from his grip.
"I swore an oath to follow his rules, I'm not breaking them now. I could die Ally and if you don't understand that well then that's your fault." he said pushing away long branches in the way. "I hate you Lucas I hate you!" I snapped at him.
He stopped in his tracks and looked back at me. "And I love you." he pushed me against a tree and kissed my lips forcing my movements against my own will. His hands went to the hem of my shirt as I screamed through the kiss. His body weighed me down making it harder to breathe. "You shouldn't be doing that."
Lucas broke away from me and looked over to see Austin sitting on the ground amusingly intertwining his fingers together. "Who are you?" Lucas asked in annoyance, "You're not supposed to be in evergreen forest!" he barked.
"Oh really well I thought we weren't supposed to be raping girls behind a tree." Austin said getting to his feet.
"I'm getting Fates he'll deal with you!" Lucas tested. "He doesn't want to deal with me." Austin said before punching Lucas right in the face. He stumbled backwards. Groaning a little bit. "T-this isn't over!" Lucas said running off into the woods.
"You didn't have to do that." I said walking past Austin and grabbing my bag.
"A thank you would be nice." Austin said coming up to me. "Go away."
"It's going to storm tonight come back to the tree house please?" he begged. I sighed softly and looked at the sky. The clouds were dark and looked dusty. "Ok fine," I said, "but only on one condition. You let me look for the fire warrior no questions."
"Ugh...fine. But that's all you're getting. Everything else is my rules got it?" He said sharply.
"Deal."
Lucas's POV
"Lucas back so soon from evergreen forest?" Fates said amusingly. I got down on one trying to consume air to my lungs long enough to speak. "I was running from this man I saw in evergreen forest."
"Man what man?" he said with concern. "Well he had blonde hair and his eyes looked brown with a slit of silver in between. It was...scary. I was just minding my own business when he came out of nowhere and punched me right in the face!" I said in hatred.
"Oh no." Fates said getting up from his throne.
"What my lord?"
"It's him...the fire warrior."
I starred at him in shock, "The fire warrior? No that can't be him, he looks well... my age!"
"I can't kill him Lucas. He only ages every 500 years." Fates said sternly. "What are we going to do?" I asked. "Was he with anyone? Anyone you may know?"
I thought long and hard, suddenly I got a devious idea. "It was a man and yes I know him."
"Ok well who is it boy?!" Fates urged.
"None other than Lester Dawson." I said quickly. "Are you sure. You better not be wrong about this." Fates threatened. "Oh I'm sure my lord."
"Fine then. Round up the army and arrest him immediately."
"Yes my lord. But shall I arrest the daughter too?" I asked. "Yes you should. They can both rot in prison where they belong. You have to lead some of the men into evergreen forest. Bring a big army to surround him. It's hard to control him."
"Yes my lord." I said softly.
"Oh and Lucas, make sure Austin and Ally never cross paths."
I gulp lightly, "Why not lord?"
"I'll tell you later."
"My lord-"
"Lucas there is somethings that I can't tell you!" Fates barked. I nodded slowly as he shooed me away. I walked out with a wicked smile playing across my lips. Finally I have found the fire warrior.
