Fire And Ice

Chapter 8 - What are we?

CARTER'S POV

When I got home I immediately went to my computer and started searching the web to see if I could find out anything about what had just happened. The whole hour and a half that I stayed over there, after the light thingy, was not a very pleasant one. Every time I moved an inch closer to Ivory I was met with a protective growl from Mason. Ivory had cried for a good thirty minutes after what had happened. I was completely freaking out myself. I left Mason, who was still holding a hiccupping Ivory, to clear my head. I walked around his backyard for a while and I couldn't come up with anything. I know this had to be some paranormal crap, but if someone that is a paranormal themselves didn't know what the hell is going on then how am I supposed to be able to figure it out.

I searched the web for two hours and came up with nothing.

"Awww come on!" I half yelled as I slammed my head on my desk. Unexpectedly my phone started going off. "Hello" I said tiredly

"Hey it's Mason."

"Find anything?" I asked tiredly.

"Yes and no."

"Tell me the no first"

"Ok no I didn't find anything that would tell me about what happened, but would it be a coincidence if someone kidnapped you and then that magic show happens and then somebody tries to kidnap Ivory?"

I sat straight up, shocked, "Somebody tried to take Ivory."

"Yes" Mason's voice held so much anger.

"I got a question dude."

"What?"

"Is Ivory your mate?"

"Yes, and the weird thing is I never felt the sparks like everyone told me about until the light thing happened."

"Well that's strange"

"You can say that again." He sounded extremely tired. I would be too if I was trying to save my mate more than once today. If I had one that is. "And dude sorry for growling at you earlier."

"Nah don't be, I probably would've done the same thing. What did the person look like?" I asked cautiously

"It was a girl, she had black hair, umm purple eyes and that's all I can remember I was to pissed to really pay any attention to her." I couldn't think of what to say. It couldn't possibly be the same girl who kidnapped me, could it? "Dude, you there?"

"Uhhh, ya sorry. Umm Mason?"

"Yes?" He asked slowly

"That's the same girl who kidnapped me.

IVORY'S POV

All I could do was stare at the big wolf standing in front of me. What. The. Hell. Is what I thought.

"What the hell?" Is also exactly what I said.

The girl pulled out two knives, held one in each hand and got into a fighting position. Mason lunged for her and took her down with ease. After a little bit of them rolling around she threw him off her. I have no clue how, Mason's huge and not to mention a wolf. She went to lung on top of him knife first but something snapped in me.

"NOOO!!!" I screamed. I jumped and rammed into her before she made it to Mason. One of her knives went flying out of her hands as we went down. We landed with her on top of me. She punched me in the face and blood immediately started flowing out of my nose. She swung with the knife and was rewarded by slashing my arm. I swung at her and when I connected with her nose I pushed up and heard a satisfying crack. Ha, bitch now your nose is broken!! I took advantage of her dazed state to push her off me and knock the other knife out of her hand.

I grabbed the closest knife and swung at her. She skillfully dodged out of the way but I kept swinging to make sure I didn't give her a break. A couple of my swings connected with her arms before she knocked the knife out of my hand as she tackled me again. I got my foot under her and pushed as hard as I could to get her off. As I was scrambling away on my hands and knees I felt her grab a hold of my ankles. I screamed as she dragged me backwards. I looked up and saw Mason charging full speed towards me, still in wolf form. But before he reached half way she picked me up and chucked me right over Mason. I flew a good ten yards before I felt the cold, hard ground connect with my body.

After I stopped rolling I tried standing up but fell back down when I felt pain in my foot. Well hasn't this just been a fabulous day. Hint: sarcasm.

"Oh my gosh Ivory are you ok?" I looked up to see Mason running towards me with panic and fear written all of over his face.

"No, I'm not ok. Where did she go?" I said as I wiped the blood off my face before it went into my mouth. I stood up making sure to keep pressure off my foot so Mason wouldn't notice. I looked at the gash in my arm.

"She ran off after she threw you."

"Oh wow." I put my hand over the gash to try and stop the bleeding

"Here let me help you." He reached out to take my arms but stopped when he saw me flinch. His eyes looked so heartbroken. But I didn't know what to do I was so scared. Scratch that I was terrified. He is... he is.... oh, what is it called? WEREWOLF! Ha, I remembered it. But now that I think about it, it's actually really cool. He would be able to explain what happened inside when I shook Carters hand. And ha that's right, run away bitch, be scared. I looked back up at Mason and he had his eyes closed and I saw tears stream down his face.

"Aww Mason." I took a step forward to comfort him but collapsed from the pain in my foot. Luckily Mason caught me before I hit the ground. Again. He gently set me down on the ground and took a couple steps away from me.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused as I wiped the blood away from my nose again.

"I know you don't want me anymore, let alone touch me or look at me." He looked away pain was evident in his eyes.

"Mason, look at me." Slowly he turned his head and I quickly wiped the blood from my nose again. Jeez how much is gonna come out?

"Yes Ivory?"

"I still want you, please don't leave me. Don't make me go back to where my parents are so they can beat me again and where that girl will find me again please." I begged while choking on unshed tears and trying to stand back up.

"I'll never leave you. Your dad, mom, or that crazy pyscho will never be able to touch you again. I promise." He picked me up bridal style and carried me back to the house. After he cleaned me up and bandaged everything I was sitting on his lap with my head on his chest and an ice pack on my foot. He had one hand around my waist holding me firmly against him. He had been calling people trying to get them to find this mystery girl.

"You were really brave out there sweat heart." I looked up into his eyes and smiled. "I'm really proud of you, but don't you ever do that again." I stared at him in shock. I closed my mouth and put my head back down on his chest. I was really not in the mood to argue with him right now. "I don't know what I would've done if I had lost you." His voice cracked at the end as he wrapped his other arm around me. I pushed away a little so I could look into his eyes.

"You won't" I whispered and kissed him. He pulled me to him tighter as he deepened the kiss.

"I've gotta call Carter." He said against my lips. I put my head back on his chest as he started talking to Carter. I fell asleep on his chest but that didn't last for long. I woke up with a scream when I heard Mason yell.

"WHAT!!!!" Yep he is definitely and severely pissed.
