A Special Witch

Chapter 28:

I head for the stairs but I was too late because they already fell apart. I turn around and run into the closes room. Not any better. Fire everywhere and I’m sure that I will be getting burns still. I run out and I hear them yelling my name. I opened my mouth, but full of smoke went into my mouth. I started to buckle. I move towards the east side of the house where there is less smoke and fire. I dropped to the floor and began to crawl to a window with a tree. I got to the ledge and tried to open the window. It didn’t budge. I pushed again and still no movement. I guess I’m going to cut myself a whole lot more now. The fire was getting closer to me. I took a step back, brace myself and ran to the window.

Crash!

I tried to get hold of the tree, but I didn’t jump far enough to grab hold of it. I fell, hands stretched out, trying to grab the sidings of the house. I finally took hold of something. I bashed my side onto the house. The wall broke and in I went, losing my grip and landed on my other side.

I scream in agony.

“Elena!” I heard someone scream.

I was paralyzed. Both side aching, probably some broken ribs, bones broken, head pounding, lungs burning for fresh air again. I didn’t care. I got to my knees and began to crawl to my hole I made. I grab hold of the broken wall and boosted over the edge. The wall scratched my stomach. I groaned in pain. I kept moving. Hands finally touching the ground, then the rest of my body, I crawled away from the house and into the forest. When I could handle the pain anymore I stopped. I closed my eyes and concentrating on my breathing, in, out, in, out, over and over again. Somebody touched my shoulder. I groaned, and the hand let go.

“Elena, Elena keep breathing. Your safe, don’t stop breathing okay?”

That sounded like Jeremy. No that can’t be, he left 2 months ago. I opened my eyes to see it was actually Jeremy. He came back. I nodded because he was still waiting for an answer.

“Elena, why are your lips purple?”

Purple? What is he talking about? Oh shit the body heat drop spell. I’m six degrees lower them body temperature. I’m not going to die by the fire, but from this stupid spell because I doing know how to heat myself up again.

“Spell” that’s the only word I could push out of my mouth. I started to cough again.

“What spell Elena?” he asked. I started to think of another way. Werewolves aren’t affected because of their heat! I tried to speak again.

“Hold me. Kiss me. Make me warm” those were the only word I could say before I went into another coughing fit.

“That doesn’t make sense Elena. You were just in a fire. You should be warm”

“Spell. Body temperature,” I coughed “drop. Makes me cold. Don’t know,” another cough, “ how to raise it back up” went into large fits of coughing to get the smoke out. I thought he wouldn’t listen, but he picked me up gently and kissed me so soft on my lips.

“More pressure please,” I said against his lips.

“I just don’t want to hurt you” and he dug in so more in the kiss. The kiss was so sweet. I love it and I love him. He’s back. I hope he doesn’t leave me again.

I lean on to his shoulder and whispers into his ear, “don’t leave me again, please. I love you,” my lungs weren’t burning anymore. I’m so cold now. I started to shiver.

“Shh, shh, Elena. I won’t leave. Don’t cry.”

“I-I’m n-not c-c-crying, I-I’m c-cold” I chattered my teeth. He holds me tighter.

“Elena! Where are you?” I heard Christophe yell.

“She’s over here Christophe. I suggest you get Kristof or Emily” Jeremy yelled back.

“Why?” he walk out of a bush. Unsurprised to see Jeremy.

“She did a spell and doesn’t know how to reverse it. Apparently I can keep her warm, but I don’t know long how it will help.”

“Okay, I’ll go get them. The fire department is here and looking for Elena in the house. I have to tell the others.”

“Okay” Jeremy said unhappily

“H-how d-did you-u f-f-find me-e-e?” I asked Christophe.

“Follow you scent and I know you well to know that you’ll go to the side with less fire and I picked up your scent and saw you blood” he smiled, thinking he knows me well, actually he does.

“T-thanks-s” I said to both of them. Christophe walked away.

“Why-y so-o unh-happy-y?” I asked him.

“Because you hurt yourself again” he pick up my arm cast, “I though you heal fast”

“Ye-ea, be-e-fore my-y n-necklace b-broke. N-now I-I’m b-back to-o b-being h-human, b-but with-h t-the e-exception o-of h-having p-powers” I smiled at him.

“Oh is that so. Did you know I like a girl that’s human but have powers”

“O-oh y-you d-do. G-guess I-I’m y-your p-p-perfect g-g-girl” he leans in kisses me passionately. I broke the kiss and saw Christophe and Kristof coming out of the bush following Chris, Brandt, Kayla, and Anthony.

“Oh my god Elena, your lips are blue and you just came out of the fire. How’s that possible?” Kayla asked.

“You did the spell didn’t you?” Kristof said.

“I-I had to-o o-or I could’ve d-die and I-it was t-the o-only thing I-I-I c-could think o-of at t-the moment.”

“Its okay Elena. How much did you drop?”

“What are you talking about? I don’t know anything like this and I’m a sorcerer too.” Brandt said.

“S-six d-degrees” I said after Brandt.

“Okay” Kristof did the same gestures with the drop, but opposite hands. I’m guessing instead of thinking cold you think hot. After a minute I didn’t feel cold. I felt hot, but I’m guessing that’s from my burns I got.

“You not shivering anymore or you lips aren’t blue” Jeremy said. I smile because he was right

“Now since I’m a bit better. I still need to answer a question you asked me a while ago, but sadly I forgot what it was. Would you like to repeat it for me Jeremy?” I said smiling at him.

“Hmm let me think what was the question? Oh right it was,” he got so close our lips were touching each other, “ Elena Kaitlyn Icefall, would you marry me?”

“Yes Jeremy Ash Livingston, I would be glad to marry you”
