A Mysterious Love (A Michael Clifford Story)

Keep Calm and Run Away

*Nic*

He came back. Like actually hunted me down and came back. Not good. I looked at Reign, not wanting to go with him. He was insane and honestly he scared me. I was finally getting to feel normal again and he ruined it. "Who are you?" I sent a silent thank you to Reign through the mind link. "I'm Kyle. The Alpha of Nic's pack. Also, her fiancée. And you are?" His voice still gave me the creeps. Reign stood up, only a few inches shorter than him. Thank God for werewolf height. "I'm her current Alpha, now if you would excuse us." She grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the door, shoving past Kyle when he tried to get in her way. "I don't think you understand. She's coming with me." His voice was low and I flinched but Reign, bless her furry rear-end, didn't even miss a beat. She let go of my hand and crowded up in his space, glaring at him so hard I though he would burst into flames. "She's not going anywhere with you, you freaking creep."she growled, her wolf fighting it's way to the surface. I could feel mine scraping on the walls of my mind, but I was to scared to pay attention to her. It happened so fast that I almost missed it. Kyle punched her, hard enough to make her stumble back a few steps and her nose to bleed. And this is why he scared me. He's an abusive jerk who's crazy. I felt my face shift slightly, my wolf begging to be let out. I would have, but my hands started to burn and it felt like every inch of my body was overheating. "Stop!!" My pleas were ignored, Kyle just went after Reign again and Reign fought back. It was quickly turning into a brawl and the people around us were to stunned to do anything or call the police. My body grew so hot that I thought I was going to pass out. I glanced down at myself only to see my hands smoking and starting to burst into flames. Right. Freak out later, help now. "I said STOP." Even Reign, the most stubborn person I knew, stopped at the sound of my voice. Not that I blamed them, it was a little scary. My hands were still on fire, but my skin wasn't burnt. "Kyle, you're going to leave right now. And if you ever think about coming back, I swear I'll kill you." My voice was shaking, but it was out of anger. He just beat the crap out of my best friend! Reign's eyes widened when she saw my hands, but she wasn't scared. She probably knew what was going on with me. I hoped. Kyle backed away from us, stopping long enough to tell me one last thing that scared me down to my bones before leaving. "I'm not giving up. You will be mine."

~Reign~

I rushed over to Nic, Kyle forgotten. I was excited that she figured out her power, I knew she could do it. She was a fire elemental. The only one in existence. I grabbed a cup off the nearest table and dumped the contents on her hands. "We'll figure out how to put them out later, we gatta go. Now." She looked up at me in a daze, nodding her head to let me know she understood. We ran out of Subway, heading towards the house. By the time we got there we were both drenched in sweat and Nic was having a minor panic attack. "Babe. You've gatta breath. Slowly, don't do it to fast." She followed my orders, following me into the house and up to my room. "Reign. What am I?" Her voice was soft and scared. "You, my dear" I said "are a fire elemental. I'm a water elemental and an air elemental. We only supposed to control one specific element. When I met you I felt an instant connection. I think you might be able to control more than one element and we're the only ones in existence that I know of. We'll have to train to find out what it is. We were bestowed our gifts when we were born. That's about all I know about it, but it would be amazing if it was earth. If it is earth, then together we really are unstoppable." Nic sighed, crawling further on my bed. "Can I stay in your room tonight? I'm still a bit scared.". Nodding at her question, I crawled into my bed beside her. "Night Nic."

"...Good night Reign"

The next morning was hectic. We woke up an hour early so Nic could get ready for her first day of school. "Are you sure this isn't too weird?" she questioned, hands waving at her outfit. I thought she looked cute. She wore a pair of ripped yellow skinny jeans, a back shirt with the silhouette of Peter Pan on it, black high tops, and a flower crown with yellow and blue roses. "You look fine, let's go!" I yelled over my shoulder, making my way to the kitchen to grab us both a granola bar. We speed-walked to school, ignoring the weird looks that we got from the students outside. "Who is she?" "Why is she with Reign?" "She's cute!" "Dude, she looks scary." "Freaks." We ignored what they were saying, not that we were meant to hear them in the first place. Werewolf hearing was a pain sometimes. We spent the rest of the day avoiding people and Nic was almost as tired of their comment as I was. "Do they really not know how to shut up?!" I giggled at her, sitting on the bench that we decided to eat lunch at. "Not really. But hey, at least we know some of them think you're cute!" Nic rolled her eyes at me, taking a large bite out of her slice of pizza. "Hey, you're Nic right?" We both looked up, only to be met with the brown eyes of Calum Hood. "Ummm. Yeah. Why?" Nic wasn't rude or anything, but she sounded annoyed. "Just wanted to get a face to match the name that Ashton wouldn't shut up about." And with that he was gone, sending a wink to us over his shoulder. "Boys are weird." I agreed with Nic. Boys are weird.
