Open Fire

Ezra

I want to scream and sigh at the same time. I wan't to scream because what was i going to tell Jeremiah. I wanted to sigh because i knew Rowan felt the same about me.

Just then someone cleared their throat behind me. 

"Jeremiah is gonna be mad." said Mason.

"Mason you've been my best friend since i moved in with the group, so as my best friend i need you to keep this secret and lie to Jeremiah." I said looking straight into his eyes.

"Ezra.....you know i can't......it's just......I can't."

"How can you say that Mason after what happened with Clara. The last time you told Jeremiah my secret someone died!"

"You know what happened to Clara was not my fault! It was her fault she never should have done what she did! She did that to herself!" He screamed back.

Before i knew what i was doing my fist impacted his left cheek so hard it knocked him straight to the ground.

"Don't ever come near me again. Don't ever try to fix what you just said. If you do i swear i will kill you." I said infuriated. 

He just looked at me. Like a marble statue in a courtyard, his eyes were stone cold and ruthless. And just like that he was gone. He just stood up and ran away.

Clara was my half sister. She had beautiful blonde hair with a blue streak in it. We were both turned at the same time. We were basically adopted by our group. That's how I met Mason. The three of us became best friends. Jeremiah would always put us three together to spy on the wolves. One day Clara didn't meet me by the big oak tree to tell what she had learned. I could see Mason in the bushes and i told him i would go find her. When i finally found her she was with a girl, one of the wolves. They were talking about something but i couldn't quite hear. When she had finished talking i confronted her. She said that she had found one of her friends from back home. Except she was a wolf now. She wanted to go back and sneak out tomorrow night. She made me promise i wouldn't tell anyone. I promised.

Suddenly, i snapped back to reality. 

Someone had slammed through the door to my room.

"Ezra what is wrong with you!" yelled Jeremiah almost knocking over the book shelf. 

"I have just been informed by Mason that you're still seeing that stupid wolf girl! I told you to stay away from her!"

"Don't call her stupid! You don't know her like i do!" i yelled

"You think i don't know what those dirty dogs are like Ezra! Why do you need to see her so bad!"

Before i could think better i blurted out "Because i love her!"

Jeremiah just stared at me. Like how Mason had earlier today. Marble body. Stone eyes.

"Ezra, i have no choice but to banish you from the group. If you come back trying to make things right i will kill you. That is a promise. Now get out."

He left the room calmly.

I knew in two minutes i'd be dead if i didn't leave.

Just then i heard her.

"Ezra....can you hear me?"

"Meet me in the clearing in the wood." i thought back.

As Mason, Clara and i ran through the trees back to the hotel i had an urge to tell about Clara sneaking out tomorrow night.

When we got back to our room i told him. He was confused. He asked why Clara would want to even talk to those beasts. I told him it's because friends are friends and we probably get really annoying after a while anyways.

Later that night i was awoken by flashes of light coming from outside my window. Mason was gone.

I ran down the stairs as fast as i could util i finally caught up with them.

It was Jeremiah, Mason and a few other vampires.

What are you doing i had asked and they said that they were burning down the wolves camp so Clara couldn't meet with her friend. Mason had told. I kept telling them it was insane but they persisted. I couldn't stop them. 

The camp was burnt to a crisp. People's houses were ash. Bodies had become bones. How was Clara going to react to this?

When we got up the next morning i couldn't find Clara. Jeremiah had made a big announcement to the whole group. He told us that Clara had snuck out that night instead of going tomorrow. They had killed the enemy but, they killed my sister too.

It was pouring rain outside when i reached the woods. Thunder rattled all around and lightning almost hit a tree. But, i kept running. So fast. Faster than ever before. I had to reach her, i had to find her. 

Finally i made it to the clearing. I looked around in all directions. Where was she?

Then i saw her. Running towards me through the trees. Her green boots splashing water and mud onto her legs.

When she reached the clearing she said "To what do i owe this lovely surprise?"

Then she saw my face.

"Ezra what's wrong?"
