2012- The End of the Earth

Chapter Eleven

*Few minutes later*

"Your hair is still on fire. It could have burned me back there, you know." Dylan said. I rolled my eyes and scowled deeply.

"But you bend fire. I don't think that you could be burned. We’ve tried with other fire benders and they were fire repellant.”

"Same with me." Dylan snorted. I glared at him for bringing the idea up if he already knew the fact.

"Then it's not a problem." I said staring into his eyes angrily. "Right?" 

"Right. Just wanting to make sure you knew." Dylan said smugly. I growled at him and stomped my foot in anger.

"I thought you said that he can calm her down." Harry whispered to Lucy. They forgot I could hear them, but I just clenched my teeth and glared at Dylan.

"I said he could, but he’s been her enemy since he left her and turned into a ‘popular.’" Lucy whispered back.

“What’s a popular?” Niall asked. We ignored him and I crossed my arms.

"Why don't we go to Hartford now? We can try and save more lives." I said through clenched teeth.

"That's a great idea! That is, if you want to get us killed!" Dylan yelled at me.

"What's wrong with the plan!?" I yelled.

"We should go to other towns then Hartford!" He said stepping closer to me.

"We already did that with other towns. It would be easier to go to Hartford now and get over the big city because more people live there. You’re just a selfish, little boy if you think we’re just going to skip over all those people! We need to save as many as we can and I don’t care what you think!" I said stepping closer to him. I felt his hand go on my shoulder and for some strange reason I calmed a little.

"Ahh. I still have that affect on you. I can calm you down even when you don't want to." Dylan smirked and squeezed my shoulder. I slapped his hand off and glared harder at him.

"Don't touch me." I said moving away.

"Ouch. That hurt. Kiss me and make me feel better?" Dylan sneered. I was about to punch him in the face but Lucy held me back.

"Let's go." Lucy said. My hair wasn't the only thing on fire. For some reason where his hand was also on fire. Great. I have to deal with Dylan the bully that I use to like.

"Fine. I want to go to Hartford, though." I said.

"Well, I want to go to New Hartford or Avon." Dylan said.

"Is there a difference?" Niall asked. I glanced incredulously at him and Lucy raised her eyebrows. Dylan snorted and Nina and Nat just stared at him.

“What? I don’t live in the States, remember?” He shrugged. We just sighed and I answered him.

"Yes. They’re different locations in Connecticut." I said.

"Sweetheart, let the boys take care of this." Dylan said arrogantly. My eyes went red and I shot a beam of fire from my hand like a flamethrower at him. He grunted from the impact, but nothing else happened to him. I closed my eyes and scowled. Wow, I’m scowling a lot these days.

"Ouch, angel. Too bad I am not burned." Dylan said as he brushed himself off. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"I shot fire at you because I needed to get my anger out. I knew you wouldn't get hurt. I just needed to shoot something at you, idiot! And I will do it again if you don’t stop talking." I shouted.

"Stop flirting you guys!" Lucy said.

"I'm not flirting with that...that moron!" I yelled.

"Whatever. We’re going to Hartford." Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Do we have to take him?" I whined. I heard Dylan shout a protest, but we all ignored him.

"Yes, we do." Niall said. I growled and Niall backed away from me with his hands up. Then I felt a hand go on my shoulder and I relaxed a little more.

"I will always have power over you, sweet heart." Dylan whispered in my ear. My eyes widened and I elbowed him in the gut. He grunted but held on to me.

"Let. Me. Go." I said in a deadly tone. He let go after a hesitation.

"Lucy, can you transport Mr. Arrogant? I'll take the others." I asked. Lucy nodded. In a flash we were in Hartford and zombies were already coming towards us. I quickly made us go upward with the rocks. 

            "I'm going down!" I said jumping off. Dylan screamed ‘no’ but I really didn't care. I was too busy burning the hoard of zombies. I took out all my anger on them, which resulting me turning into a glob of fire. Suddenly, I had an idea and so I spread out my ring of fire. Soon I was burning the whole floor near the cliff. In 5 minutes all of the zombies died and I went back to normal. Everyone was looking at me in amazement as I walked back towards them.

"Wow. When did you learn that?" Zayn asked.

"When Niall was annoying me and I became very upset. Anyways, it's 8 at night. Let's go to sleep." I stated and made the cliff bigger. When everyone started putting up their tents, I turned away and looked around.

"I want to be with nature tonight." I said and made a rock tent and closed the openings. I heard a sigh outside my new tent, but I ignored it and lay down anyways.

"Sam, come out. Sleep in my tent instead." Lucy said. We had already agreed on tent arrangements on the first night which were:

Tent 1: Lucy + me

Tent 2: Nina + Nat

Old tent 3: El and Dani (Now they’re at the safe house so they could explain to newbies and keep the others in order)

New tent 3: Niall and Zayn

Tent 4: Harry and Louis

Now Tent 5: Liam and Dylan

"Nah! I'm good in my tent!" I said. I knew Lucy rolled her eyes and so I rolled my own eyes at her, even though we couldn’t see each other.

"Fine! Good night!" Lucy said and went to sleep in her tent.I sighed and looked at my hands as I listened to her fading footsteps. I closed my eyes and opened them as I smiled. Then I reached into my pocket in triumph. My iPod! With it's charger, speakers and earphones! I set it to 'Jar of Hearts' and fast-forwarded to the middle of the song.

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around

If I am anywhere to be found

But I have grown too strong

To ever fall back in your arms

And I've learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?

I sighed again and lazily turned it to another song. I changed it to repeat of 'Kiss and Tell' by Kesha and fell asleep a few minutes later.
