Chapter Forty: Love For Her Coloured Heart
Frost's POV
Ow! Hot! Dammit! I should know better! It stings like hell!
"Haha Frost, I told you not to touch the black parts of the kettle didn't I?", Frosty laughed to my right, embarrassing me as I blew quickly onto my right fingers like a fire extinguisher, trying to ease the burning sensation that took over my hand like a storm. "Oh well, I guess that's your punishment from me".
I grunted, blowing one final time at my red right hand before swiftly pulling it down to my side, blinking once as I stared at the boiling black, shiny kettle of mushroom and chicken soup that we prepared for everyone to enjoy. Including White who'll be receiving my special premium service. Hehe. Lost in my thoughts, I leaned forwards slightly, hearing Frosty say something from my right whilst she chopped a banana on a wooden, battle-scarred board that was shaped like an egg... I had my eyes locked into the soup, deeply thinking about how I'm going to give White a hint of how I feel as I raised my right hand up again subconsciously, wanting to rest it somewhere.
"Idiot", Frosty mumbled to herself with a chuckle before I placed my hand down on something warm beside the kettle... Hmm? Well, it's a stove after all... I sniffed the air, snapping out of my trance as I smelt something really damn tasty. Similar to barbecued meat. Hehe... I'm gettin' real hungry now.
I looked to my right, staring only at Frosty's cheerful face that smiled at me as her hands worked on slicing an unpeeled, perfect banana. I smiled, leaning slightly towards her before I asked her a question...
"What's cooking?", I asked strangely, feeling slightly what 'they' would call it, stoned.
She laughed for a brief second, shaking her head left and right, causing her amazing black hair to dance to the sudden movement before she held the large silver kitchen knife out wards and pointed it to the stove... Eh?
"Your hand", Was her reply... My hand? What sort of dish is that?... Hmm... Wait a second... The kettle is on the left side of the stove and is the only thing on it... Then what the hell is cookin-... My eyes widened, my heart ached as hard as a sledge hammer smashing into my chest repeatedly until dust as sudden realisation stabbed me right in the gut with a silver blade... MY HAND IS ON FIRE! "They say you are what you eat", She joked as I immediately tore my right hand away from the red hot plate where I stupidly rested it on without a second through, flailing it all over the place like a mad man as I screamed in pure utter agony... I'm such a fucking idiot! How he HELL did I not notice?! Did my nerves die all of a sudden?! ARGH!
"SERENITY! HELP! MY HAND IS GOING TO FALL OFF!", I screamed for her aid as she's the best healer out of everyone here, able to heal even the most deadliest wounds and illnesses. Frosty laughed her ass off at me, standing back to enjoy the sight of me running out of the kitchen in search for Serenity... If I lose my hand, then forget my sanity! I'll have to become insane to regrow it if Serenity can't!
Good grief... I thought I was going to die there for a second... Damn, if it weren't for Serenity's amazing healing powers, then I would've been a girl again! Haha... That's not something to laugh about tho... I really fricken hate being a girl. Especially around the likes of Star and Melody who fool around with my body and feelings EVERY time! Jeez... Why am I getting so worked up for?!
"Something the matter?", White asked me innocently from my right as I looked down into my palm deeply in the lost trance of my own thoughts. Blankly blinking to snap out of it, I turned to my right, smiling softly at White who slowly ate her meal with a small smile and a cherry red face that I adored. She's beautiful... Hmm?! What am I thinking all of a sudden?!
"Nothing much... I nearly lost my right hand not half an hour ago", I sighed in slight annoyance, keeping my smile as she chuckled before swallowing her soup, blinking once then turning to face me. Her face looked incredibly soft and smooth, as well as her amazing light red eyes that reflected the bright light of the glowing orb high above in a fascinating manner, blinding me in pure awe as this was the first time I've actually felt a thing towards her after just a glance... Heck... The more I look at her, the more I see her as Mindy.
"That'd be awful. I'd hate you to loose your right hand", She said innocently with her sweet tone of voice, making me smile a little wider before I looked away from her face, directing it towards the closed light brown wooden door of her lovely white room... I patiently waited for her to finish off her food in silence, hearing nothing but the constant clanging of her spoon hitting the white bowl that was placed on top of a dark grey metal tray on top of her lap.
The bed squeaked a little, but I ignored it, too lost inside of my own train of thoughts about what could potentially happen in the near future... Like what the possibilities of a war breaking loose.
The first thing we have to defeat is south. And south would mean hostile territory. Goblins to be precise... If it were up to me, I'd leave that for last but unfortunately, I have to do what must be done. I'm guessing it'll be something similar to Charcoal at least, meaning I'll have to keep my distance from it at all costs... I don't want to break my bones like last time and have to resort to my tail's adrenaline syringe... That thing nearly costed my life...
Putting that aside, we'll then have to travel to the second place with hopes for the best to bring that kingdom down to dust before finally finding the last of the guardians... After that, we just have to defeat the final thingy-ma-bob then it's all over... But knowing Corozin, nothing's EVER over...
I sighed quietly to myself, hearing the bed squeak and shake a little as the constant clanging ceased after one loud metallic rattle. It's all so simple... Yet... I feel like something bad's going to happen at the end... Just to myself...
And also... There was something like a shadow underneath the water surrounding the bridge... But it didn't look like it CAME from down there... More like ABOVE somehow. The only thing above the bridge are the buildings, the sky and Mount Winterfall... Wait... Mount Winterfall?... I have bad feeling about that mountain. The name already gives you chills and the height just crushes your will completely. I hope it's nothing, cause going up here will kill me before even light could move an inch... Actually, it'd make sense for it to be up there... I'll have to ask Drago...
Suddenly, from seemingly out of the blue, a flash of lightning struck the earth like a needle, causing the house to shake slightly as the lights turned off, leaving us in pure utter darkness. White yelped in fright, making me turn to face her before she gasped once again along with the loud clanging of the metal tray and bowl smashing down to the light brown wooden floorboards...
We stared into each other's Illuminous eyes deeply, using it to guide us in the darkness as she wrapped both her arms around my waist in fright, clinging as tightly as vices. Her face burrowed into my chest, feeling somewhat cold and damp, causing my eyes to widen in shock... Is she crying?
"Sorry Frost. I accidentally spilled the soup all over my face... Sorry", She said in sorrow, clinging a little more tighter as she rubbed her face against my chest, wiping away the soup from her face which caused me to turn a bright red...
"L...Let's get you changed then... Y...You need to take a bath first tho", I said in embarrassment, stuttering like a broken recorder before another flash of lightning struck the earth, waking the entire house vividly for a split second.
"Ahh! Frost... Watch me... I can't go alone...", She said in a scared tone of voice... EH?! So this is the cute, true girly side of her... It's just like Mindy's before she got really serious in the situations surrounding us... My face burnt a bright red, resembling the top layer of molten iron as my blood boiled like steamy-hot Therian water... The water of 'No Man's Land' which is the most northern place in the continent... I've heard so much about it, but I always shake it off my shoulder... No one has EVER ventured into those lands... Hopefully, one day I'll venture there and become the first!... Dammit! My mind is wandering!
Another flash of lightning struck the ground, roaring like a live explosion took place just above the roof, causing my ears to spring out of their hiding place before folding themselves in pure utter fear on top of my head. The hairs all over my body rose like sharp daggers, pointing outward defensively... Damn... My heart feels like its in my fucking throat!
"Frost...", She whimpered in fear... "L...Let's go...".
I took in a quick breath of air, mustering up as much courage as possible before slowly, I placed both my hands onto her back, feeling around to make sure that I was on the right place. After a few seconds of shuffling, I found where her arms were, softly wrapping my fingers around them before gently pulling her off of me, making her look up at me with her glowing light red eyes that resembled a glorious blood moon.
"Here. I'll carry you", I said in a gentle, very friendly tone of voice before slowly shifting off the bed, causing it to moan and croak in pain. My bare feet touched the cold wooden floorboards , sending many chills up through my legs eerily, feeling like there was a ghost nearby. "Does it hurt when you touch your thigh?", I asked her as I gently spun her to the right, letting go of her before sliding both my arms underneath her. My left under her knees and my right at the top of her back.
"A...A little", She said meekly, making me smile and worry twice as much about her condition... She's so cute when she's like this...
She's just like Mindy... "Thank you so much... Ahh!", She cried after her generous thank as thunder roared once again from high above, causing both our hearts to throb twice as hard... Triple to how close I held her... Her legs were soft and smooth, unparalleled to anything I've ever touched. Her body was warm and cosy, slowly vibrating as she took in slow, gentle breaths of air...
I picked her up, letting her hair fall down to the ground, sweeping it as I slowly walked towards the entrance with caution as my vision was blackened by the darkness that surrounded us like a thick haze...
A brightly lit candle sat on the right of the filled, white, large bathtub that could hold well over five people at once. It was bright enough to light up the entire bathroom, making the walls glow a fiery red and orange which really made the whole place look magical. I sat beside her INSIDE of the bathtub with just shorts on, blushing as red as redstone whilst she washed her arms slowly and thoroughly. I stared down into the neck height water, trying to conceal my embarrassment as much as possible... Being in the same bath with another girl is bad enough... But having her completely naked is a whole new level! To top things off, she's LEANING on me... Argh... If I get a nose bleed... I swear...
"Frost... Please don't act shy around me. I want you to smile and enjoy the bath", She said from out of the blue with a small echo... I blinked, turning my head to the right to see her staring back at me with her beautiful glowing light red eyes that drilled down into my retinas like lasers...
"I'm... Not... Really... Never mind... I'll wash myself too", I sighed, looking forward as I lifted up my left hand from underneath the warm water and began to stroke it with my right hand thoroughly like a brush.
"Let's talk about something", She said. "H...Have you found out who's Mindy yet?"...
"No... But I found someone who's similar to her...", Was my reply... Argh! My face is burning up!
"Do...do you like them?", She asked... I flushed twice as hard... My heart ached like a solar storm and my blood boiled as hot as the water we were in...
"A lot... But I want to know how to approach them and confess... It's embarrassing... And I'm afraid of being rejected... I don't want to end up heart broken", I sighed sadly, looking away from her amazing gaze and back down into the deep darkness of the water...
We sat in silence. No one said a word after that. I didn't even think about anything but what to say next... Should I try to... No... It's too sudden for her... She'll think I'm... Bad... After two minutes of nothing but the constant splashes she made from washing herself, she finally shattered the silence with a question.
"Can you... Tell me her name?"... My eyes widened as I saw a flashback of Mindy, sitting on top of me with tears pouring down her face as she pinned me down and begged me to not struggle... I remember this... This was before she confessed to me... She didn't know what to do... She was lost, not knowing if I'd accept her or not because of...
I see myself in the reflection of her eyes... Myself as a whole... Still like a stone, frozen in time, locked like a chest... I'm... In the same position as how she was before... But why am I seeing this all of a sudden... Her hair... It's now as white as snow. White...
"White", I whispered to myself, gritting my teeth as the illusionary Mindy hugged my body with her own, warming me to the very soul as my flashback began to manifest my feelings, becoming very real... Tears slowly poured out of my eyes as Mindy wailed in sadness, pushing herself more forcefully onto me, both exchanging tears and sadness, sharing the same pain... I miss her... I miss her so much! "Don't cry...", I whispered... It all felt so real... Like it was truly happening, only in he bathtub...
"Frost... Frost... Do you mean it? Is it me?", She sobbed, gripping onto my shoulders with sheer strength as her legs hugged my sides from underneath the water...
"I...I'd never lie to you... Mindy... You look just like White...", I chuckled in sadness, slowly wrapping my arms around her bare back, cupping my right hand at the back of her damp head before pulling her close to me... We stared into each other's amazing eyes deeply with love, seeing our reflections with a slight blue as tears endlessly left our eyes like waterfalls, steaming sown out faces like calm rivers.
"I am White, Frost! I'm White!" She cried, now sobbing in extreme sadness before shutting her eyes tightly and burrowing her face into the left of my neck, crying her eyes out as I sat there, unable to comprehend what I had just heard... My eyes widened, tears began to gush out twice as hard as my heart throbbed with love and affection towards her... Towards White... That... Was all real... Not a trance... White... "Frost... Do you really like me? Even if I hurt you when I suck your blood? Even when I hurt you by keeping my secret away from you? Frost... I've liked you for a long time! Please..."... White... She's Mindy... But... As a different person... However... I've liked White from the start not because I suspected her for being Mindy... But because of who she was. A kind, thoughtful girl who'd do anything to save someone... That's what made me fall for her on my knees...
"White", I whispered, shaking my head to get rid of the tears as I forced myself to stop crying with her, making her look up at me and pull away slightly... Her crying slowened and slowened until it became just heavy breaths of air and sniffs... I blinked, making my ultimate decision to go for the kill and lock out love once and for all... "I love you", I whispered to her, making her eyes to teary again before moved forwards and mashed my lips with hers in an excellent blend...
Her lips were soft, wet and warm. Our lips melted from each other's warmth during the time we shared our kiss. She'd occasionally moan in pleasure to the kiss before finally, I broke it for air... I took it in through my nose, staring into her amazing light red eyes with were as wide as day... She was shocked and her face was red... But of all, she had a smile plastered across her face...
"I love you too Frost... I always have and I always will", She stated in so much happiness, that it sounded like it was out of sadness... I love her so much... "Let's... Keep this a secret from the others... I don't want anyone to know".
"Anything for you".
"Thank you so much Frost... You brought out the brighter side of me. And my leg feels amazing now".
"I'm glad".
"All thanks you you... I love you".
"I love you too..."...
Lizzo's POV
The school holidays have ALREADY begun! Haha! I'm gonna take White and Frost with me shopping! Just as I was about to reach for the golden handle of Frost's room, I froze upon hearing something...
"Ahh! Be gentle!", A girl that sounded like White exclaimed from inside.
"Sorry... Did that hurt?", Frost asked... H...HUH?! Are they...?!
"Frost! If you hold me like that then it won't go in properly!"... My Frost's first time... Is with White?!
"Hmm. Let's try a different position then".
"Huh?! Don't grab me so forcefully! Ahh! That's too big! Frost! Ahhhh!".
"Sorry White... But it's for your own good".
"No! It hurts! Blood' coming out! No! Don't go in deeper! AHHHHH!"... FROST RICHTOFEN!
Furiously, I grasped onto the handle of the wooden door, twisted it and SMASHED the door open, rushing in with anger and fury to see the two on the floor... Huh? Frost had a sharp blade inside of a stab wound on White's right thigh, trying to get a small piece of razor edged glass out as White held onto his left hand with both hers in pure agony... They both looked up at me, confused entirely to my sudden appearance as they froze in place... Eh?...
"Is something wrong?", Frost asked me, making me flush a bright red to the major misunderstanding... They weren't... Doing it?!
