Elfolution

Chapter 4

I heard vague yells and pleads all around me as I stared into her bright green eyes, her relieved smile was comforting but the malicious hand covered in flickering orange flames screamed dangerous to my fragile tempered body. The heat radiating off of her fingers was disturbing and as she neared my throat I watched as her arm became fully engulfed in flames and they darkened to a bright blue, a thin jagged line that reminded me of some sort of weapon. 

"I can go home....home....home...go home..." She kept whispering to herself, chanting it aloud. Though she was as gorgeous as any of my kind I noticed the deep bags under her eyes and her paled skin, her eyes were sunken and her hair was dull, though it's colour seemed to be stained into it rather than naturally. She looked, haggard. 

I gulped audibly as a flame singed my neck, wincing at the pain and the cold ripples of my blood desperately trying to cool the wound down. This woman and I, we were opposites. Where fire had blessed her with it's energies water had blessed me with it's. It would be so easy for us to kill one another, and yet such a mournful process to do so. 

"Please sister, calm down. We can go home together alright?" I tried to reason, my voice shaking as I stared further into her eyes, searching through them as she gazed at my own. She bit her lip nervously as her heat decreased, the blue flames flickering orange for a moment before she snarled in my face. 

"NO! You just want my fire for yourself! NO! I'm going to kill you and I'm going to take your water life and use it to go back home and be happy again! Away from this..... this terrifying place!" She screamed, her spit flying into my face and I cringed, her breath was horrid and I forced myself not to gag at the stench. 

Sebastian's figure came into view slowly, his hands raised to show that he was of no harm, though it only made the situation worse. 

"LEAVE ME ALONE YOU FILTH!" Sebastian flinched at her response and I cried out as she pressed her hand against my neck, gripping my frozen skin slowly, a sickening grin spreading across her features. I gasped for air, clawing at her burning hand, ripping her skin away and drawing fiery blood which spilt orange onto my arms. My lungs were screaming for air and the water within me was sizzling under the horrendous heat of her touch. 

I felt my now heated blood escape from a small wound in my neck as her nails dug through my skin. A gurgled cry escaped my lips as I watched Sebastian ram into the woman, pulling her roughly away from me and stunning her as she flung him easily off of him and to the ground, unconscious. 

"SEBASTIAN!" I gasped with a raspy voice, falling forwards and crawling towards him. The woman grinned, stepping cruelly onto my hand and crushing it under her foot while pointing to Sebastian with a flaming hand. 

"You want him to live? You give me your power." She commanded, ready to fire away if I responded incorrectly. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as I glanced over at Sebastian, his pained expression forcing me to respond. 

"E-Ecrio sorella fori torinaralla......" I mumbled as I dug into my palm with my nails, letting my blood spill onto the dirt, the purple liquid falling to the ground in slow motion as it evaporated before it hit the dust. I bit back a wave of pain as it spilt faster from my body, my blood being flushed out of the small wounds in my hand and neck. 

"Porona fonaris aquarioramus." I finished, staring the redhead in the eye, a small smile on my face as she looked down in horror. My evaporated blood covered her hands, the purple liquid crawling it way up her arms and up around her neck, forming into hands that choked the life out of her slowly. She clawed at the liquid, her hands passing through my blood as she tore at her skin. 

My blood overwhelmed hers as they mixed, dancing around together and forming a dark, obsidian black somehow. I winced as she reached out to me, her mind ripping and echoing through mine as it threw her memories at me.
