The Lost Shadowhunter

13

I go outside, Damon not far behind.
"Damon, can I ask you something?"
"You just did." He responds.
I roll my eyes, "do you feel drawn to me like I do to you?"
"Obviously. I drove six hours to find you."
"Since the moment I saw you, I've wanted to do this."
I grab his face and kiss him passionately, which he immediately returns.
He bites my lip and pushes me up against a pillar.
I start slowly unbuttoning his shirt as we're making out.
"Maybe we should take this back inside." He suggests.
I nod and pull him back into the room, the door slamming shut behind me.
He uses his vampire speed and shoves me against the wall, kissing me harshly.
After a few minutes, I push him away, fire coming out of my hands.
"Woah! Calm down." He states, backing away a little.
"I can't, I can't control it!" I cry out.
"Yes, you can. Calm down, visualize it disappearing. You're in control here."
The fire slowly disappears.
"How did you do that?" I ask.
"I didn't, you did." He says.
I sigh, "I'm never going to be able to do this myself."
"Yes you will. I did."
"We're different."
"Watch this, okay?" He smiles.
I nod.
He puts his hands out, facing upward. A second later, one has a ball of fire, and the other a ball of water.
"How can you do that?" I question.
"Come here. Put you hands over mine and concentrate on pulling the fire and water into your hands."
I look at him as if he's crazy for a moment, but do as he says anyways.
The water and fire both pull up toward my hands and slowly soak up into them.
"H-how did that happen?"
"You did that. I told you, you're in control." He says.
"What are you able to do? Is it just fire and water?" I ask him as we both sit down.
"I'm able to do everything I could as a shadowhunter and vampire, plus control elements." He informs me.
"So you can like grow trees and shit if you wanted to?" I ask.
"Mhm."
"All of the elements are pretty useful now that I'm thinking about it. If I have plans and I decide I don't want to go, I could just make a hurricane."
"That's true, but you shouldn't mess with things like that. There are consequences."
I give him a confused look.
"I'm not going to get into it. I've been alive for quite a while, I've seen some things."
"Wait, has anyone else ever had whatever this is that we do?"
"Not that I know of. That's why I was so shocked to see you."
We hear a noise right outside of the motel room door and immediately stop talking.
A few seconds later the door is being kicked in by none other than Jace Herondale. Alec, Izzy, Clary, and Simon not far behind.
"Okay, first of all, why aren't you wearing a shirt?" He asks me. Followed by, "actually I don't want to know. Get dressed."
I pull my tank top back onto my body, then my jacket.
"Why are you guys here?" I sigh.
"We tracked you to a shady motel, why wouldn't we be here? And who's this guy?" He questions firmly.
"Oh hey, Damon Salvatore." He introduces himself.
"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Alec inquired.
"Hello," Damon points to his teeth, "vampire."
Alec rolls his eyes. His blank 'done with your shit' face nearly makes me laugh.
"We should be going now." Damon states, grabbing my hand. I guess I'll just follow his lead.
"You think we're letting you take her? That's funny." Jace spoke.
"You think it's your decision? That's funny." Damon fires back.
"Arabella?" Clary chimes in.
"I'm sorry guys, I'm going with Damon. He can help me."
We go to leave but they block the door, seraph blades in hand.
"Guys, please. Do this the easy way for once." I beg. I can't control the power I've been given and I really don't want them to get hurt.
They don't move an inch.
"Fine, you made your choice." Damon states.
I grab his arm as a silent plea not to do anything bad.
He holds my hand and walks toward them, creating a barrier of fire around us.
Everyone backs up, defeated.
We get to Damon's car and the fire is gone as we get in and drive off.
