Fire And Ice

Chapter 13 - Why does everybody want me dead?

IVORY'S POV

"I thought I told you to never come near my land again." Mason retorted.

"Since when have I ever listened to you." Derick said.

"I suggest you start." Mason threatened.

"I will, right after you hand over that beautiful young women in your arms and I will walk away peacefully and never talk to you again." He ended with a smirk.

Mason let out a bone chilling growl. "You will not lay a hand on her." He protectively put me behind his back as Jon came to stand by him with Jamie behind his back.

"It's only fair Mason. You took something of mine, so I'll take something of yours." He took a step towards us.

"That was three years ago Derick. Drop it." Mason yelled.

"Jamie, who's Derick?" I whispered.

"I don't know." She replied. I focused my attention back on Derick and Mason.

"But she was mine, not yours, I still love her." Derick yelled. Wait, wait, wait, hold the phone, SHE?

Mason pushed me behind Jon where I held on tightly to Jamie's hand. Mason and Derick were standing about two inches away from each other, both red in the face with anger.

"I hope you two aren't about to make out." I said not only to lighten up the mood but to hopefully make Mason a little mad. Jamie and Jon were trying to hold their laughter in as both the guys looked straight at me. "I mean if you are just give me a heads up and I'll go on the dance floor till you guys are done."

"Ivory." Mason said with a warning tone. "How about I make out with you instead?" He started to tease instead.

"Come on Mason we need to take the girls back home." Jon chimed in as he pushed Jamie and I out the door.

"Not on my watch." Derick lunged and grabbed me. I quickly found a knife up against my throat.

"NO!" Mason screamed.

"One more step Mason and she's gone." Derick threatened.

"Wow, hey now. let me go." I started to struggle but was cut short when he pressed the knife harder and some of my blood came loose.

"Please don't hurt her Derick. I'll do anything you want, just give her back to me." Mason held up his hands in surrender.

"You took the woman I love from me so I'm gonna take the woman you love from you. Say goodbye Mason." Derick slowly started walking backwards with me as he kissed my temple.

"Tell me what you want!" Mason yelled as he followed Derick. "I'll do anything to get Ivory back." He pleaded.

"I want Talia back!" He screamed back as he tightened the knife to my throat. I let out a little yelp when he did that and I could see Mason's muscles visibly tense up even more.

"Fine! Just let her go." Mason held his hand out to me.

"Wait, she's alive?" Derick asked shocked.

"Yes, she is in my holding cells."

"I'll give Ivory back when she's gone through what Talia has."

"Don't you dare!" Mason seethed

"Hey Mason, honey?" I interjected.

"Yes?" His voice and features were full of fear.

"Why does everybody want to kill me?" I saw Jamie slowly moving back into the crowd. What the hell is she doing. Jon and I made eye contact. Slowly Jon made a very small head movement that only I could see. Why is he telling me no, oooooooh wait. Jamie is going to attack him from behind ahhh very smart.

"Sweetie not everybody is after you."

"My parents tried to kill me, people at school made sure my life was hell, then I go to your place and Zoey attacks me twice, then some weird psycho chick tries to kidnap me there as well, and then I come here and now I'm here being held at knife point. " I said the last part angrily. My emotions beginning to rise to the surface.

"Well there's that but..."

"But nothing, my parents hurt me in every way possible. They locked me away like a caged animal. School was no different and then you go and do the same thing." I said defeated.

"No, I'm not Ivory." Mason challenged me.

"Maybe I should take her for her own good. It seems like she is in harm's way more when she's with you than she was by herself. So, hand Talia over and I'll be gladly on my way with both of the girls."

"I'm not going anywhere with you creepy son of a bitch!!" I screamed at him. The pressure was suddenly off me and the knife clattered to the floor. I turned around and Derick was a good twenty feet away from me on the ground unconscious. And there was a trail of ice leading from me to him. Once again. "Oh no! Not again." I stared blankly at my hands trying to see if I had missed something from earlier.

I was only able to think for a second before Mason's hand went around my waist and ran outside with Jon and Jamie close behind. He puts me in the car as Jamie climbed into the seat next to me from the other side. Both boys made sure the doors were locked before walking back inside.

"What was that Ivory?"

I just shrugged my shoulders, not being able to respond. What is wrong with me? "It wasn't the first time I've done it either Jamie." I whispered.

"What are you talking about?" She gave me a questioning look.

"When Zoey was attacking me in her wolf form she lunged at me and I put my hands up to block myself and I never felt her hit me. When I put my arms down she was on the other side of the lawn and there was a trail of ice leading from me to her just like tonight." I finally looked up at her to see her eyes. She was completely shocked and confused.

"What am I?" I asked horrified.
