The Elemental Wars - Caged Book 2

Chapter IX

Kyle POV

When we had put our bags in the van, we went to the mall. Gray and Jay went to go buy party food and cake, Ash and Freya went to go fetch party decorations and Edlen and I are going to get all of use McBooks Airs for school. We walked along the crowded halls past Boots, I got a lot of looks from girls. But I had gotten us to it by now,

"Hey, so how's life these days?" Edlen smiled a perfect smile.

"It's amazing these days. And you?" I turned into the Apple store, she followed me in. A girl Apple employee seemed to appear in front of me and smiled,

"Can I help you?" She batted her eyelashes and bit her lip.

"Um, yes we need 9 MacBook Airs." I forced a smile.

"Oh ok! Is that all I can do for you?" She stepped closer to me, I fought the urge to throw up or laugh.

"Just the McBooks." Edlen had wandered off, I could see her out the corner of my eye. She was laughing! She had abandoned me! Then I picked up my phone and texted Bree, they had been gone for a while. We were running out of time, I needed them fast otherwise she would suspect something. I walked up to the girl and smiled as sweetly as I could, I twirled a strand of hair and slipped it behind her ear. She blushed,

"I could use some McBook airs." I gave her a little wink.

"Yes." She breathed and rushed of to fetch what I wanted, I smiled to myself as she hurried back with ten white boxes. She wrapped them up and I paid with my credit card, she blinked slowly and looked down placing her hand on her lips and sucked it a bit.

"Thank you." I picked them up and left, Edlen trailed me. Then she collapsed with laughter.

"Did you see her face! She was totally falling for everything you said! You could have asked her to shave her eyebrows and she would!" I just grimaced, I use to do that all the time before Bree was with us, my phone buzzed and I cursed. She would be back in 5 minutes! I sent a mass text to the rest telling then that we needed to go, immediately! I began to rush to the doors and jumped into the car. I got a text back saying to go and leave them there and distract Bree. So Edlen and I hailed a taxi home, I kept screaming at the guy to drive  faster, I'm pretty sure that we got around 5 tickets in the whole drive. The poor man swung his car violently into the drive. I threw a bundle of dollars at him and exploded out the care to go and unlocked the door, Edlen and I both flew into the kitchen, I grabbed a glass of water and Edlen grabbed a newspaper. Around two seconds later I heard the doorbell ring, I got up and opened the door and through my arms around my girlfriend. I bent my head to try and kissed her perfect lips she looked down at all the bags she held, then I bent down and picked up all her bags and carried them into the kitchen. Grace came in with seven more bags. Then Grace walked up stairs and seemed to crash in her bed, I looked over at Bianna,

"The others are out to look for some new school clothes, Freya insisted we got more for Gray and Ash." She laughed and took out a pot and cracked some eggs into it then started to cook, I watched her. I never knew that she could cook, but after all those years with only her and her dad. Then of course she had to cook, she skilfully handled the utensils. Then my phone buzzed telling me that I had a call, Gray was contacting me,

"Hello. We're on our way home." I could barely hear Gray because of all the talking in the background.

"Um yeah Bree cooking." I laughed as I heard Freya yelling in the background.

"Ok see ya soon." He hung up,

A few minutes later I heard the van squeal into the drive, then the door flew open and a lot of noise followed. They came in with bags of school stuff, I saw that Ash and Dem weren't with them, I caught Freya eyes and she looked up at the sealing. I hurt a dull thump, she gave me a small smile then went upstairs. 

Demetrius POV

We sat on the satin sofa with a delicious bowl of pesto pasta, I had my arm around Brianna as we watched The Kingman, I shoved an other massive frock of past into my mouth. Half of it fell back into my bowl, I didn't care. Bree got up and picked up my empty glass and walked to the kitchen, she looked stunning in her black skinny jeans and gray tight top. Her hair fell louse and it swung slightly as she walked, she pored me another glass of lemonade. She walked back and flopped back onto the sofa, she gave me a smile as she gave me the glass,

"Breath Dem. You know you need air to live, stop eating." She laughed as I shoved another mouthful into my mouth, to be fair it was only my second bowl. I swallowed and looked down at her,

"Hey I am a growing boy! I don't have time for a silly thing like breathing!" I rolled my eyes and grinned, I loved making her laugh. It made me fell so happy when I brought her joy, she just wrapped her arms around my neck. Then she licked the saws of my face, I looked at her in utter surprise. She laughed harder at the expression on my face,

"And your calling me gross!" I exclaimed, I ran my sleeve over my face. I suddenly felt her tens, I looked at her. She wasn't laughing, I fallowed her gaze. She was steering out the window, there was nothing there.

"Stay hear." She stood up and walked out, I herd the front door slam shut. I had a very bad felling in my gut, but I think I just ate my pasta to quickly. But I got up any way, I stopped by the door and grabbed I knife from the small cabinet. I tucked it into my back pocket and walked outside, the cool air felt amazing as it brushed against my pale skin. Every thing was quiet, unnaturally quiet. Nothing moved, the sun was setting creating long shadows across the grass. The air stung my lungs like I was inhaling poison, I tried to move but gravity seamed to push me down. Even blinking hurt, I moved my arm and it was like moving underwater. I gasped for air, the oxygen was nonexistent. My vision blurred and my lungs constricted my brain felt like it was going to explode, then oxygen flowed into my lungs. I gasped and spluttered as I fell to my knees, I rolled onto my back. The soft grass tickled my face, a long shadow crossed over my body, blocking out the sun. I squinted up at a very disheveled Brianna, she clasped by me. Her cheats rose and fell rhythmically and gold ran down the side of her face, I twisted around to look at her. Her hair was matted with blood, a deep gash spilled blood from her cheek. Long scratches where covering her arms and legs,

"What happened?" I said hoarsely, my thought was dry as bone.

"I'm not sure." She closed her eyes.

"Who did that?" A tear ran down her angular face.

She looked up, she whispered,

"I did."
