The Elementals #2, Kiki XoXo [best e book reader .TXT] 📗

I knew how to soothe him and make him feel better. I know that he is a little upset about what happened today, but I don't know what else I can really do to make sure he knows. I've told him over and over that Elijah isn't any problem anymore though. What else can I do for him?

 

"Worrying will give you frown lines." He sighs, and a shiver goes through my body. God he scared the shit out of me!

 

"I've already got frown lines and bags under my eyes..." I reply, as my heart slows down. "It can't get much worse."

 

"You're still beautiful." He kisses the top of my head. I flip around in his grip, getting situated. Now we're facing each other. I lay my chin against his chest, looking at his eyes trying to figure out what he is thinking.  "If I ask you to tell me something... will you? Even if the answer might hurt me or you?" He asks, after a moment of silence.

 

"If you really want to know then, yes I'll tell you." I sit up wondering where this is going. There are so many ways! Elijah, the battle plans, Drew, what happens after all of this is over, maybe even about the training tomorrow. He stays quiet contemplating whether he should ask. Gosh suspense is something I am not good at handling! "Thayer..." I mumble wishing he would just ask.

 

"If Elijah was here... and not with the queen... would you sti-"

 

"Yes." I say before he can even finish. "We're engaged Thayer, we are getting married in a mo- in like three weeks!"

 

"If he was here though. If he chose you." He sits up now, scracthing the back of his neck. "I know that since we've been back, you guys have saw each other... alone and that you've well, things have happened between you.."

 

"Thayer I-" I try to explain myself. In reality though there isn't anything to explain. Elijah and I are attracted to each other. Adding the bond on top of that it makes things a lot harder. Including the stress of everything else going on.  "There aren't any excuses." I decide to change my tact. "I'm sorry... but even if he was here now instead of with her, it wouldn't change how I feel about you."

 

We watch each other for a while, both of us studying. I can't tell if he believes me. I don't know if I believe me honestly. But I wouldn't just dump him like that just because Elijah was back. Thayer and I are going to be married. We are going to rule Caswan, and hopefully have family and grow old together.

 

Have a family. Kids. Having kids requires being able to do other things that at the moment we can't even think about doing. I can barely kiss him now because of the bond. It needs broken. I know a way to break it too. I scooch closer to him, and my stomach starts fluttering and we haven't even kissed yet. It's my nerves for what I'm going to try and do. Things start slow and soft, as if we're both scared the other will break if we push just a smidge. Does he think I' doing this just to reasure him? Well, I guess in a way I am, but I want to do this! I want to be able to do everything with him. That's the turning point, neither of us is made of glass, or anything fragile. Practically jumping on him, I push him down and stradle his hips. No way is he getting out of this.  I hold his hands in mine, keeping them in place, I have total control over the situation right now.

 

"Ah... Lyra, stop." He warns, I ignore him. Grabbing his jaw and turning his head back to where it was. Sadly though his warnin was just on time. Pleading eyes the color of gold start fading into view, I focus on Thayer. His black hair, and muscular build. I push harder and harder, and the eyes burn brighter and brighter. Thayer isn't happy I can tell, but he isn't pushing me away or trying to stop me. Out of no where there is a slight burning sensation in my stomach, and he gets worse with every second. It spreads rapidly, and I feel like I'm on fire. I jump off Thayer, and off the bed, trying to cool down, but moving gives the flame air. "Lyra?!" I can barely hear Thayer. I lay on the ground rocking back and forth screaming for the fire to stop. This has happened before! This was that weird attack that even Elijah couldn't figure out! I feel an ever so small breeze, and then the burning makes it's way back in worse then ever. As people start crowding around me and yelling over top of me. I can't focus, and even though I'm trying to stay quiet I know I'm failing.

 

"No one touch her." I hear Sebastien take charge. I know what's happening. We need to ge-"

 

"What good will he do? She isn't on fire!" Thayer interupts him.

 

"It's either get him to help her or she could lay here screamming for another ten hours... your choice!" Sebastien says. His authority and pride shining brighter then the sun.

 

"She needs space, you guys crowding around her isn't helping anything." Elijah's voice floats into the room. I feel a slight tremor in my heart, but the fire burning on me worries me more. Although even I can tell by the way he just said that he could careless if I burn or not.  And even though I'm not happy with him, his comment really hits home and hurt like a bitch. God how long does someone burn for!?

 

"If you going to be here at least help her!" Seabstien's voice is next, after a long almost silent pause... other then me screaming.

 

"I can't do anything for her... My touch only cools the feeling, and I don't have any of the medicaton to put her to sleep." He sighs. 

 

"Don't you dare just stand over there like you don't care." Sebastien keeps it up.

 

"He can't do anything Sebastien.. calm down." Chaston's voice cuts in now.

 

"That's a lie." I hear Thayer. Thayer... I bet he can help me... some how maybe! I ball up trying to make this go faster, but it just seems to get hotter and that's it. 

 

"Help her now!" Sebasiten demands. 

 

"The only way for me to really help her right now is for me to take her with me, and that isn't happening." 

 

"There is something else." Thayer says. Everyone is silent .. other then me.

 

"Yeah, can't you just give her your blood and heal it?" Chaston chirps in again. I small laugh breaks through my screams, almost everyone here knows what blood sharing betwee us will do. Apparently she doesn't know.

 

"Well yes, but there is more to it then that, princess." Elijah says.

 

"Just help her." Thayer begs. Then I feel cold and heavenly hands on my shoulders, pulling me up into a sitting position.  "I don't want to watch." I hear him just barely say in disgust.

 

"Everyone out!" Sebastien goes again.

 

"Come one Lyra.. I need you to cooperate with me now. I'm going to make it go away. I need you to bite me and take blood." That's when I feel his lips on my neck, and the heat there has fanished. His teeth sink into my skin, and my body goes nuts. With this fire and a body that I can't control things get hard. The fire feeling is still burning with a light, as I think about whether I should bte him back like he said. If it will make this burning go away though. I do as he said, just sinking my teeth right in. The fire oh so slowly shrinks down, untli it's gone. Neither of us stops, everything is so pleasuring. Thayer wiggles into my head, and I iediately know what is happening is wrong. I push away from him, my heart poudning so hard it feel like it's going to tear through my skin. We're both breathing heavy, and I can feel his eyes on me. I reach up and wipe my hand across my mouth, and I slowly stand up.

 

"How did you get here so fast?" I ask. Wondering how he knew to come. For some reason he can always show up just when he is either needed or unneeded.

 

"I knew something was wrong with you. I could feel it." he replies quietly. "I always make sure to keep you in my head.. so I know you're safe." he admits, but doesn't sounds ashamed about it. I don't know whether hearing all of this is good thing or not!

 

"I told you to leave me alone..." I say moving toward the door. I have got to get out of this room with him. Just the two of us is very statical.

 

"Do you really think I'm going to do that?" He steps in front of the door, blocking my only exit. "Honestly Lyra." He looks me square in the eyes. He is cocky almost with a small little smug grin broadening on his face. My frown only intensifies as he keeps it up.  He saunters closer to me, as I stand my ground and not move. I'm not going to let this keep happening. 

 

"Honestly..." I copy him, "I don't care anymore." I move around him opening the door. I head for the stairs, but I know he is following me. Before actually descending the stairs, I stop and once I know he is close enough I turn with an arm out ready to smack him. Maybe then he'll get the picture. My plan back fires as he grabs my hand in air and pulls me to him.

 

"So what your telling me is that this doesn't affect you anymore?" He whispers in my ear,  and then his lips skim across my neck. My heart jumps at the feeling, and my stomach drops hoping he'll bite. I pick up my right food, and stomp on his with my heel, but it only seems to amuse him more. He is almost like a completely different person. He never would've acted like this before all of this. It almost seems like he is transitioning to evil again.

 

"Ahhh!" the moan comes before I even know he did actually bite me. My body instictively leans against him, and his grip on my hand tightens along with his other arm wrapping around my torso. "Stop..." I manage to say, but it doesn't do any good. No matter what I say, it's not going to change the fact that my body reacts to him. As long as that happens he will always have a grip on me. I can't sit here and deny that this doesn't feel good either, it feels like I'm flying through space and that there isn't a worry in the world.

 

"If you take much more she'll probably faint from blood loss." Sebastien's voice says behind us. "I also believe she asked you to stop." He adds, as Elijah lets go of me. I colaspe to the ground, my breathing out of control and wild. Giving everything a second to calm down, I realize that I don't feel weak. I actually feel really high, and energized. My adrenaline was just so high I couldn't focus enough.

 

"I know what I was doing, I'm not an idiot." Elijah replies to Sebastien, and offers me a hand to help me up. I don't take it but I do get up. "She's at an ultimate high right now... you see we both had each others blood at the same time, that's the most sacred thing for partners to do you know." He smiles at me, and I can feel the heat rush to my cheeks.  I move away from him, and his smile disinegrates. "Well... you're okay now... Just know I'm always listening." He says, and his eyes flick to Sebastien, whom I
