Open Fire

Ezra

Rowan Clara is dead and how do you know about her i never told you anything!?

I have a lot of explaining to do but you have to get here quick!

Fine.

I'm about half way through the woods at this point with no idea where i'm going. Just trying to run away from my problems which never works anyways. I should probably go back.

I run in the opposite direction, rain dripping down my face and mud splashing onto my jeans.

I stop senescing something weird in the air. It's another vampire but i don't know who?

"Ezra?"

It was Mason.

"Mason, get out of here." i say through gritted teeth.

"I.....didn't mean to get you banished.....I just wanted to do the right thing."

"Really Mason? That's all you have to say for yourself?!"

"Ezra...I'm sorry."

"If you were actually my friend you wouldn't have told Jeremiah about Rowan, getting me banished from the group forcing me to leave." I say back angrily.

" You're a vampire! One day Rowan will be dead along with her flee bag family. The vampires will win this war and ever last one of the muts will be in hell! Arn't you one of us?

I punch him right in the jaw.

If you say one more thing about her i swear i'll kill you right now! i scream. My booming voice echoes through the trees.

Mason's on the ground now. He spits blood from his mouth onto the grass.

"Not if i kill your girl first!" 

"Don't test me Mason!" I scream back

"You may think she loves you Ezra but just wait. One day she'll run off with someone else! Someone that doesn't deserve her! You'll be all alone. You won't even have a friend cause i'll be long gone! 

He stands up punches me right by my left temple and i stumble but don't fall. Then he wrestles me to the ground  in a frenzy of claws and jaws. Finally i break free of his grasp and try to run but he grabs my ankle knocking me to the floor. Holding me down he rips off a piece of branch from the tree above us. He's right above me the sharp piece of branch in his hand.  I'm too fast and before he can stab me i roll to my side getting up. 

Holding the branch high above his head he says "She'll never love you!"

"I hate you!" I scream back

I kick him right into the back of a tree the branch falling to the ground. I grab it preparing myself.

He lurches forward be before he can get to me the branch is already in his heart.

He drops to the ground limp.

Panic takes over and the tears start to come. 

What have i done! I just killed my best friend! Oh my god! Oh my god!

I knell down beside him. He 's not dead yet but he will be very soon. 

"Mason i'm so sorry, Mason i....i. Tears interrupt my sentence. 

He looks over at me weakly. 

I could just barely hear the words that he muttered.

"Tell Clara i always loved her."

Then his eyes fluttered closed and his body turns to ash.

I knock frantically at the door until Rowan finally answers.

"Ezra what's wrong why are you so-"

"It's Mason i'm so sorry, i didn't mean to the anger got to me and i just......i just."

"You just what? What happened to Mason?" she asked frantically.

"He's dead Rowan.....he's dead because i killed him."

"Ezra you should come in" she said quietly.

I walk into the old cottage tracking mud onto the wooden floor. 

"Sit down." said Rowan. "I'll be right back" she said calmly. 

I sat down on the brown couch that matched the rest of the furniture in the room. Paintings and family photos lined the walls. Drawings and crayons were strewn across the coffee table and candles that smelled like vanilla sat on the mantle above a huge fire place. Red and orange flames crackled inside. 

Before i could examine the room any further Rowan returned with two mugs of stemming hot coffee.

"Thanks" i said taking the warm mug from her hand and smelling the wonderful aroma of ground coffee beans.

"Ezra i know you probably don't want to talk about it but you have to tell me what happened tonight."

So i told her. I told her about running into Mason and how he tried to apologies but i just got mad. How he said all the stuff about her never able to the love me and how we got into a big fight and how i killed him with the broken branch.

"Ezra i'm so sorry" said Rowan setting down her coffee and hugging me.

At this point i thought of my self and a monster but at least someone still cares about me.

"It wasn't your fault Ezra he attacked you and you had no choice.

I knew Rowan was right but he was my best friend. Who had i become?

Just then someone comes in interrupting our embrace.
