Poofless: Time Cant Keep Us Apart (Third Book!!)

Promise...(Preston)

Relaxing immediately when I gazed into Rob's eyes a wash of security washed over me while everyone stared at me, obviously speechless of the chance I could take.

"I think you should do it....We can't afford to lose you.." Kenny spoke drawing my attention towards him as he gave me a reassuring smile and I grinned back weakly.

"I agree with Kenny completely, you're going to die anyway...Might as well risk it if it means living, but one thing...If you do this...Will you be happy?" Jerome questioned and my grin flashed into a confident smirk.

"Yes Jerome....As long as I can move around freely and be around you guys...I'll be happy..." I speeched earning a happier mood to dampen across the area.

"Well then it's settled!!! Yay for Preston!!!" Mitch cheered jumping onto Jerome's back waving his arms excited that I might have a chance to live.

"I'm glad you're giving it a shot Preston! When are you trying it though?" Mat wondered causing a curious and awkward mood to take over the happiness over the area.

"When I'm in too much pain to handle flying..." I proclaimed earning shocked looks from Jerome, Choco and Rob while Kenny, Mitch and Mat looked impressed, deep in thought nodding.

"But you'll be in so much pain!!!" Rob panicked his huge brown eyes reading mine as we locked eye contact not paying attention to anyone else.

"I know...But I'l be in pain either way!" I tried looking on the positive only seeming to make it worse as Choco started getting frustrated.

"I mean I get it you have a chance of saving yourself but why wait until you're in an unbearable amount of pain with less chance of surviving than right now?!?!?" Choco fumed sending daggers to me from the side.

Snarling I whipped towards him, my vision flashing a deep red before it quickly faded away..My skin sizzling as I looked at Choco trying my hardest not to lunge at the horrified Choco.

"Listen....I know my own body, if I turn into a water demon...I'm used to fire not water...I want to stay this way as long as I can and the chances are as slim as whenever,

weak or strong it doesn't matter." I hissed my impatience getting the better of me as a small flame flickered at the end of my tail, a warm feeling spreading through me as I realized I still had power.

"Choco it is his choice....Remember? He's lucky to have a chance and he can try it whenever he wants, I'm with Preston on this one...It's like if I was forced to turn into human if I wanted to live in a week

or two...I would want to be a bacca as long as I could before I knew it was time to turn human, and Choco it's the same with you and becoming a water spirit.." Jerome speeched

Annoyance and understanding flaming behind his eyes as he stood up for me, a smile stretching across my face knowing he had my back.

"Choco does have a point though..." Mitch mentioned earning a bewildered glare from Jerome and Rob, not expecting him to side with Choco.

"Choco just doesn't want you to live through more pain and deal with even greater pain later, I know the chances are slim but.....

We would appreciate it if you weren't in pain before you put yourself on the line...We all care about you Preston...Just think before you act.." Mitch pointed out Choco's reason...Pure understanding clear in his eyes.

"Fine....I'm trying it in two days..Deal?" I barked my arm slashing down in frustration as I looked at them all, a pain forming in my right leg as I stared at them all. My heart hiding in my mouth.

"What do you mean two days?!? Preston!!" Kenny panicked not wanting it to be that soon but I looked away as everyone spread out making camp for the night leaving only me and Kenny.

"The less time we waste, the less pain I'll be in...Kenny trust me...I'm probably not going to survive anyways, but I don't want to endure any more pain than I already will" I whimpered staring down the hill.

Placing his hand on my cheek he pushed my face so I was staring him right in the eyes. His huge green eyes and blonde hair looking straight back at me, taking in my features as well.

"If it's what you want..." Kenny dragged on needing to be sure I wanted this and I nodded, a weak smile playing on my lips as his green eyes shined as the moon reflected against them.

"I'm sure..." I promised and he grinned, wrapping his arms around me gently resting his head in the crook of my neck and I wrapped my arms around him before we pulled away not long after.

A feeling of emptyness and a craving for a hug stormed around in my stomach as he walked away giving Rob the opportunity to walk up to me...

"Hey Preston what's wrong? You seem upset..." Rob asked and I turned slowly so I was facing him, close on the verge of tears I lunged into his arms crying.

"Preston?!?!? Awww it's ok please don't cry Preston just tell me what's wrong..." Rob cooed wrapping his arms around me comfortingly as I cried into his arms.

"I'm j-just sc-scar-scared Rob...." I whimpered balling the back of his shirts with my fists...Trying to calm down as Rob swayed us back and forth while the others made camp.

"It's ok Preston I'll always be here..." Rob spoke completely sounding truthful.

"Promise?" I whispered as he lowered his hands down to my waist, notifying people to back off and leave us alone right now as I wrapped my arm around his back, the other one limp on his shoulder.

"Promise Preston.." Rob promised and I smiled butterflies swirling around in my stomach replacing the fear as my heart dropped back into my chest....He was always there for me...

And I love him so much for that......
