On the Run

Chapter 5

Elise POV

“Ash! Put. Me. Down.” I toned out as though he was an idiot, which now I think he probably isn’t because I can’t love an idiot…Woah who said anything about love! I barely know him! Saying that though, for someone I barely know he’s awfully easy to read, like an open book! It is now when I drop out of my trance as he leans in to what? Kiss me? I don’t think so! I raise my hand and hit him smack bang in his jaw and start to feel a tingling, shocking pain, in MY jaw. Stupid, stupid spark rules! To hell with them all! Now what will I do for fun? I suppose I’ll just learn to deal with it. It was at that point that Ash started to smile; now why is he smiling? NO! Seriously? If someone smacked me in the jaw I would not smile, well okay, maybe I would, but that’s me! No one copies me! Mind you, I would also kill them. Smile calmly and ripe their throat out. Yup. Definitely something I would do.

I frown, where’s Storm? Oh SHIT! Now I’m all alone with my spark and Storm and Will… well let’s just say that even though we heal fast as Familiars, we don’t heal that fast.

"I need to find Storm” I accidentally say out loud, “even though she’s an idiot.” I accidentally continue, "OOPS!" I smile as I bat away an awfully annoying fly.

(A/N yes Storm is still watching!)

Storm’s POV

*Well how kind sister!* I think buzzing around Elise’s head as she tries to bat me away with her hands.

“STORM!!!!!!” she yells in fury, finally getting the hang of it. I turn from fly back to human form purely just to laugh.

“Took you long enough!” I giggle.

Ash’s POV

I never had a sister, so I don’t really know what it’s like to have the relationship Elise and Storm have, but some little part of me envies it. But then I know enough about sibling relationships from George and Alison to know that they aren’t always the best.

“I always though you would be a Werewolf.” I blurt out to Elise.

“What? Not awesome?!” she retaliates, glaring at me. I instantly feel a little bit guilty, of course this would be a sensitive topic between us! Stupid, STUPID ME!

Storm’s POV

As Elise retaliates against Ash for like the fifth time I get an idea. “I’ll be leaving to let you two to talk this out…” I explain, tip-toeing out the door. I instantly wish that I had stayed inside, to, I dunno, STOP ELISE FROM KILLING HER OWN SPARK! I dunno, maybe I’m being dramatic. Wait a sec – did I say that out loud?! I think. Yep Will tells me over mind link, you definitely did! 

As we contemplate spying on Elise and Ash, I lean into Will and give him a hug as he starts to cry.

“I don’t even know why…why I’m crying" he sobs, “It’s just… I was about to lose you when we ran…and the arrow…” He trails off.

“Shhhh.” I tell him “You will never lose me. At least not that easily.” I lean in and press my lips onto his tear soaked ones. “Shhhhhh” I tell him, pulling away after about a minute. “Meanwhile" I continue, laughing, “They might lose each other if we don’t do something!” I say pointing to the door to Ash’s bedroom while we go back to listening for the muttered voices coming from inside.
