The Legend Of Flame

Chapter 23

 I sat in awkward silence playing with the hem of my shirt as Brody paced infront of me. Huffing I said, "So, what brings you to this side of the woods?" He stopped his pacing and looked at me. "Do you not feel hot or uncomfortable?" he asked. I did feel a bit warm my fever I  had yesterday is gone. I scratched my nose and said, "Not since yesterday, but the uncomfortable part well.." I let the sentence hang when he nodded and had a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. "Sorry about that. Your in danger Isabelle, my brother... he's well its hard to explain all I know is that he is planning something and once I find out what that is you need to be somewhere safe." I pushed myself off the bed and pursed my lips. "You really think thats a good idea, I mean why dont you just face the problem head on."

Ugh now the commercial is playing in my head, Head on apply to the forehead. I shook my head clearing my thoughts as Brody started speaking. "Its not that easy, Ian isnt stupid, he will do whatever it takes to get to you even if that means killing everyone you know." I thought about my parents maybe they knew what to do. "I would rather face my problems then  run and hide like a little b...,

 "Isabelle! your not listening." he said in a calm voice while dragging a hand through his hair, tugging at the ends. Brody walked over to the wall next to me, leaning on the edge of the it. I watched his movements for awhile while he mumbled words. "There's this 'change' your going through, whethere its good or bad i dont know. It hasnt happened for thousands of years and you've been choosen for this." The sun shining through the window danced across Brody's face making his green eyes look lighter than their usual dark forest green color. "Well isnt there books or stories or something about it that tells me what to expect."

He shook his head "they were burned during the war." Well thats fantastic, no heads up or anything, someone has to know about all of this. The sound of a car coming up the driveway brought me out of my thoughts. Going over to the window I looked out to see Taylor's red car. "Who's that?" Brody asked. "Um, its a friend." not really sure what to call Taylor anymore. "Come on." I grabbed Brody's arm and dragged him downstairs stopping in the living room before heading to the front door. I walked down the hallway towards the door and looked out the peep hole. I didnt see her, 'where did you go' I mumbled.

Voices in the other room caught my attention, checking one last time I walked back into the living room to see Taylor glaring at Brody, him doing the same to her. "Whats going on? And how did you get in my house?" Taylor stood up straighter but not letting her guard down. She looked over at me, "Whats he doing here?" I raising my brows and bit my lip while rocking back and forth on my feet.  "He's a friend, sort of but thats not the point. What are you doing here?"  This whole time Brody stood there looking at the both of us. "Isabelle he's not good you souldnt being hanging around him." she said glaring daggers at Brody, talk about if looks could kill.

"Your not the boss of her and like your any better yourself. Lieing to your own 'friend'." Brody spat his eyes getting darker. "I didnt lie." she said but the look in her eyes said different. I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off "So you didnt lie about what you are." "Shut up." she snarled. "Go on, tell her Taylor. Tell her what you really are."  he said slowly. I looked from Brody to Taylor's narrowed eyes. "What are you Taylor?" I asked a little anger and hurt mixed in. She sighed and looked my way, "I cant tell you." she whispered. Brody let out a small laugh shaking his head "More lies, pathetic." 

"Then you tell me." I said nodding towards Brody. "She's a.." A flash of light coming from the kitchen had caught all of our attention. "Well hello family." I looked over towards the kitchen to see Ian stading right behind Taylor. "Ian" I breathed. He looked over at me and sent a watt smile. "Hello princess."
