Burn

Chapter 18

Burn (Chapter 18)

Previously
"Ace, I didn't really give you a choice. Take care of her. Break it, break the stupid watch. Run please, get out of here." Then. Darkness.

Now
(Ace's P.O.V)

"Damn it." I say placing two fingers on her neck to check if she is still breathing. Faintly, but she is. She's still alive, thank you god.

"Devon, bring me the watch." She scurries over to me and drops it into my hands, I immediately slam the watch as hard as I can into Kat's kitchen cabinet. Kat. No stop, it, she will be fine as long as I can get her out of here, now focus. After the fifth or six time, it finally shaders.

"We got your signal, 3 minutes out, copy." Crap.

Ripping a knife from my belt, I cut everything in that damn watch, until I feel my power resurfacing. I look to Devon who has been attending to Kat this whole time.

The knife, I drop to the ground, no, no, no. That knife has a symbol, a symbol of an eagle. That's not good, that means it a cursed blade. I pull the knife out as carefully as possible, trying not to further any injuries.

"C-can you get me that towel Devon?" She hands me the towel off of the stove and I press it onto Kat's wound, praying that the knife doesn't do anything to serious.

Bracing my feet I lift Kat over my shoulder, making sure the towel is tied securely around the wound, and stand up.

I feel a slight tug and look down. "Ace, I can help. I feel it, when we get there I can heal her."

I try to smile, but it ends up as a grimace. "I know, let's get out of here first." I grab her hand and we're gone.

(Kat P.O.V)

Darkness gives this dizzy feeling. This weird free falling feel. I hate it, but that's all I see and feel. I want to shout, I want to cry, I want Ace to hold me. Gosh, I've never wanted Ace to hold me this bad.

Then, I do feel something, pain. Pain beyond compare. Hell, why now. Dark pain, dizzy, stabbing pain.

Flashes of memories crash through my brain. Not good either.

Ace and me fighting for the first time when we were 9, and being called many, many names.

The first time I told Tyler about my burning, and how she called me a lier and stopped being my friend for 6 months.

Moving into my third foster home, the most abusive one I went to.

Getting kicked out of my seventh home, and sent to live with a roommate, who committed suicide 2 years ago.

Sam trying to kill me, and Ace.

Being thrown of the 200 foot rock wall by Will (the guy who supposably likes me? Way to show it.) when I was 14, and then Ace giving him a high-five for it.

Ace making fun of Ty and I everyday for years.

Getting stabbed trying to save Ace.

Why the hell am I dating him? He was a monster! Is a monster. He beat up Ty, encouraged throwing me off a wall, and called me so many hatful things.

I can feel all my anger from foster care, from Ty when she abandoned me, and from every burning I have ever felt, all fall down to Ace. Ace.

The pain of my tattoo slowly fades, but my anger doesn't. Not one bit. I start to hear a voice, a voice I want to rip from his chest.

Gritting my teeth, and digging my nails into my hands, I slowly wake, just to grab my knife from the side of my belt and try to stab the arm I feel brushing hair on my face. They seem to have sensed me though. I jump up and open my eyes to see the knife lodged into the wall opposite to where I was laying.

I turn my head to see him standing about 5 feet in front of me with wide eyes. I grit my teeth, and tackle him to the ground in half a second. I hear screaming in the background, but all I see is red.

I pin him and he tries to roll over. Not gonna happen. I have him.

I can sense the shock and alarm he feels, and it just makes me laugh. I reposition myself so that I have one hand free.

Slowly pulling the knife out of his front pocket, staring him in the eyes the whole time. "Fight it, please Kat! Fight the damn poison, please! Kat, Kat! I don't want to hurt you!" I smirk and pull out the knife the rest of the way, just for him to vanish in front of my eyes. Oh, so that's how you want to play.

I turn to see him shaking his head and yelling, "Fight the poison, it was the knife that stabbed y-" I didn't let him finish. I super speed, and punched him in the neck, making him choke on his own words.

"Shut the hell up." I spat at him. I heard a whimper behind me and quickly turned, to see a little girl.

My attitude changed so quickly I stumbled back like I was just punched. "Kat?" It was the girl. Slowly I regained my balance and speed to the young female, seeing spots I dropped to my knees in front of her.

"Devon? Is that you?" I whispered. She nodded and looked at me with so much fear.

Burn.

I felt the anger towards Ace slowly regain. "D-de-Devon you need to go. I don't- know- how much- longer I have." I slowly turned to Ace to notice the anger increase.

"Go, please, or I'll kill you." He looked at me, with so much pain. I started crying, I fell to the ground. It was all too much. The pain, the emotions, it's taking a toll. Not to mention I was stabbed like an hour ago.

Closing my eyes, the anger overtook again, fully. I opened my eyes and sat up spinning in a circle. Where the hell is Ace. I let him go! Why would I do that?

The little girl. Devon. It was her, she caught my emotions. How the heck did she do that?

A.N.
Okay... So that was interesting. Not as long as a chapter like usual, I'll try to make the next one longer. What do you think of multi-personality Kat? What about Devon? Stay tuned, and please comment, share, vote, and private message me.
