The Secrets of a Luna

Chapter Sixteen: A New Apprentice and Kidnapping.

Hudson:

Pinning her to the bed, she gazed up at me happily. A knock on our bedroom door interrupted us, a snarl curling on my lips.  Why is that every time I wanted to have sex, someone always interrupted me. Opening the door, James looked distraught. His lips opened to speak, nothing coming out. My anger melted to fear, this was the first time I had seen him like this in a long time. Evie popped up behind me, a curious look on her face. Alarm widened her eyes, her leaping over both of us. Launching herself out of the window, dirt flew all around her. Following her, the two of us called out to her. Why did she just run off without asking for help?  Running to her car, she jammed the key into its hole. Tires squealed as she peeled onto the street. Running back for my bike keys, James tossed me my keys. My bike roared to life, James hopping on at the last minute. Her car squealed to a stop at Grayson's house, orange fire devouring his home. Her engine died down, tears streamed down her cheeks as she called Latia's name. Dashing into the trees behind his home, branches scratched her cheeks. Screams echoed in the night, panic gripping my mind. Chilly night air lashed my bare skin, watching Evie skid to a stop at an open circle. Grayson was laying still in the center, Latia crying over him. Tears flooded from her eyes, her head shaking. Evie brushed past her, a dark energy running away from the scene. Launching into the trees, she hopped from branch to branch. James and I could barely keep up. Her long hair flowed behind her, her bare foot slamming into a cloaked figure. The two of them bounced into the shadows, her speed twice that of mine. A small cry of pain tumbled from her lips, a foot smashing her into a nearby tree.

"Get the fuck out!" She wheezed, clutching her ribs. "What is your deal anyways?" Crossing her arms into an x, the cloaked figure kicked her arms repeatedly. She must have been hurt really bad, blood dripping from the corner of her lips. Attempting to get to her, an invisible force knocked us back. Shit, this was a witch of some sort. Stomping her foot on the ground, green vines shot in the cloaked figure's direction. Vines knocked the hood off, a blonde haired petite teenagers with red eyes scowling back at her. Snapping her fingers, orange flames devoured her vines. Fear widened Evie's eyes, my heart pounding out of my chest. A sharp rock towered behind her, her palm sliding across a sharp edge. Blood ribbons swirled around Evie's arm, her blood blade forming. Blood dripped from her nose, her opponent cutting her palm. Blood ribbons swirled around her arms, blood fans spanning from her palms. Flicking her wrists, flaming petals of blood shot in Evie's direction. Vines curled down her arms, blocking every petal.

"How dare you try to kick me out?" She snapped hotly, her temper matching her power. "I am Soleil Sunsmorth, your worst enemy." Evie rolled her eyes, water spinning around her blade. Fire swirled into the water as air combined all of the elements into a single ball above her head. Blood poured from her eyes, Soliel turning to run.

Will the four elements give me their powers to destroy my enemy?" She began to chant, Soleil dropped to her knees. Bowing her head, her fans faded away. The ball above her head died down, a dark look flashing in Soleil's eyes. A silver dagger was pressed to her palm, she swung at Evie. Shock widened her eyes as her foot knocked it out of her steady hand. Getting down to her level, her fingers wrapped around her neck. Pinning her to a tree, the stupid girl spit on her face. Looking unimpressed, Evie tossed her to the ground.

"I have had assassination attempts on my life since I was born, so do you want to tell me who the fuck ordered it?" Vines shot from the ground, her vines wrapping around the blonde girl's body.

"It was my idea!" She blurted out, tears streaming down her face. "I needed to avenge your family for mine. Your family of witches killed all of my side, more specifically your grandfather." Evie's face softened, offering the girl her hand. The vines decayed, curiosity twinkling in the girl's eyes. Cautiously accepting her hand, Evie pulled her close to her chest. A miniature blade shimmered in the girl's hand, her fingers catching her arm mid swing.
