Fire And Ice

Chapter 14 - We really are related

CARTERS POV

I'm lying on the couch almost half asleep when I hear my cell phone ring. "Hello?"

"What do you know about shooting ice from your body?" Ahhh must be Mason.

"Well hello to you too Mason. Did you find the girls?"

"Yes, and also...... Derick."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa wait. Have you explained that to Ivory yet?"

"Umm.... no" He said reluctantly.

"Ooohhh that's going to be a dozie." I let out a light chuckle.

"Ya tell me about it. Now back to my original question. Do you know anything about it?" Mason asked tiredly.

"No why?" This is really weird.

"Because Ivory did it and according to her it isn't her first time."

"What?! You've got to be kidding me." I was completely shocked. "So, she has powers all of the sudden?"

"I guess so."

"Wouldn't you be able to tell if she was a paranormal instead of a human?" I asked confused.

"I usually can. Every species has a specific smell but she still smells like a human. But it would make sense since she is mated to an Alpha and everybody is after her." He sighed.

"Wait it all makes sense now." Things started to click in my head.

"Wait what does? What makes sense?"

"I'll tell you when you get home. I'm going to go get Hunter to fill you all in." I hung up the phone. It took me twenty minutes to track down Hunter and then for Mason, Jon, and the girls to get back.

"Alright what's going on Carter?" Mason asked skeptically.

"The girl that kidnapped me just happens to go for Ivory after she asks me where my twin sister is. Coincidence? I think not. Then the undeniable resemblance between the two of us and the freaky light show thingy when we touched for the first time. After that Ivory is showing signs of power. I think that the weird psychopath girl was right. Ivory and I are related. More than related, twins." I finished in a hurried breath.

"I think you're right Carter." Ivory replied.

"Now listen to me I know you think I'm wrong.... wait what? You believe me?" I asked completely shocked.

"Yes of course. I have been thinking of the same thing. It is freaky to think about it but lots of freaky things have been happening so why not this too?" Ivory stood up and walked towards me. "But if my power is ice then what is yours?"

"I don't know. What were you doing when you used your powers?"

"Well the first time I was getting attacked by Zoey and I put my hands up to protect myself, next thing I know she was on the other side of the lawn." Mason let out a low growl, but Ivory continued without hesitation. She must be getting used to him. "The next time was back at the bar tonight. Derick had my hands behind my back and a knife to my throat. I got mad and he shot backwards."

Masons growls had slowly gotten louder. Ivory walked back over to Mason and put her hand on his shoulder and he instantly calmed down. He pulled her onto his lap which made her blush.

"I think I see the connection." I replied while watching Mason to make sure he didn't shift.

"What is it?" Jamie finally piped up.

"Her power comes from her hands." I said triumphantly.

"I don't follow." Jon said confused.

"Here, she put her hands up in front of her and Zoey went flying in front of her. She had her hands behind her back and then Derick went flying behind her. Her power comes through her hands!" I said excitedly.

"I think it's also tied to her emotions." Hunter pointed out. "She was angry and scared both times she used them. She's never used them when she is calm."

Everything is finally clicking.

"That would make since that you haven't used your powers Carter." Mason finally said, "You haven't been threatened or pissed since you've gotten your powers."

"Maybe I should push his buttons to find out." Ivory said as she walked up to me.

"Whoa wait, what are you going to do?" I asked while taking a couple steps back.

"You'll see." She smirked as she grabbed my shirt pulled me forward and her knee connected with my stomach. I heard a collective gasp as I leaned forward trying to catch my breath. Ivory leaned down and whispered in my ear so nobody else could hear.

"You are pathetic and weak. That girl, who kidnapped you and tried to kidnap me, will come back and kill me right before your eyes and you can't do anything about it. You will watch the life drain out of me before she comes for you again. My blood will be on your hands." The last part hit me hard. Pure rage filled me. I'm not going to lose her after I just found her.

"NO!!" I screamed.

All the sudden I hear everybody scream and I look over to see Ivory laying on the floor near the wall, unconscious and her shirt was......on fire?

I sank to my knees as Mason and Jamie ran to Ivory's aid. Jon and Hunter helped me up and by that time the flames were out and Mason was cradling Ivory in his arms.

"What did I do?" I asked nobody in particular.

"Well, there is no doubt on what your power is." Mason snapped at me.

"What Mason means to say, is that your power seems to be...... fire." Jon replied.

"What?!" I asked in disbelief.

"When you yelled flames erupted out of your body, throwing Ivory into the wall and setting her on fire." Jon said reluctantly. I just stood there stunned, unable to move, as Hunter mind linked for the pack doctor.

"I guess your powers don't have to go through your hands." Hunter mumbled.

The pack doctor, Myanna, was at the house within a minute.

"Let me see her Mason." Myanna said kindly as she extended out her hands. Myanna is an old friend of Mason and I. We are practically brothers and sister because we're so close. Mason gave Myanna a death glare, as he held on to Ivory even tighter. Myanna matched his glare. Usually that would be a sign of disrespect but Mason lets a lot of things slide with her.

"Guys look!" Jon pointed at Ivory and all our jaws dropped. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
