was soft. that mouth had shown me love, and protection.
would it be so bad if i?...
slowly i leaned forward.
i felt him stiffen.
"Kiss me." he begged.
i hated the hurt in his voice, and knowing that i had caused it tore me to little shreds of nothing.
i closed the short distance and pressed my lips to his.
right away, he scooted closer to me, and deepened the kiss.
he grabbed my leg and pulled it up, so it rested on his hip.
i was finally able to control my hands.
i touched his face, and he seemed to tremble at my touch.
i pulled away.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice deeper than usual.
i looked at him.
"Deven?"
no words came out.
"I love you." he said, shyly.
the words came like a sixth sense, "i love you."
he smiled shyly, something that he never did before and i found him adorable.
he bent and claimed my lips.
i relaxed into him, i wasn't alone, i was safe.
for the first time in my life, i let a guy fully protect me.
"Whoops!"
"No Evelon."
i got off of the bed.
"are you okay?" i asked hugging her.
"yes and no, we didn't trap him. it's stupid Walkers fault. okay maybe mine too only i didn't know, and he walked away, so it's really his fault. but it's really mine, cause i sleep not drink."
"Deven!"
i was quite.
"We gotta find away to trap him of get rid of him for good, you know so he doesn't try to get you."
"I don't know what to do."
i was close to tears.
the door wa pushed open.
Walker took my shoulders.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine what-"
he dropped his hands.
"I felt-"
his voice trailed off, as he stepped back and shook his head.
"Are you gonna stay?" i asked, taking a step to him.
i didn't like how i depended on him.
his smile was cocky and made my heart skip.
"i got to. we're tainted."
i looked away.
"Olivia."
the one word burned my throat.
i pushed past someone.
i walked to the garden.
"Olivia! you have some explaining to do!"
her eyes got wide, and Tatum stood close to her.
"how'd you know where i was?"
"De-"
"Answer the fucking question!"
i didn't mean to yell.
"I used to live there but i left."
"Why'd you come here?"
"For Preston i was worried,"
"Olivia, no." Preston said.
"What i asked them both.
they didn't speak.
"Walker."
"Don't do this to me." he begged.
"Why is Preston important to Olivia?"
"Preston's Olivia's big cousin."
i don't know why, but i stepped back, like i'd been slapped.
"You didn't tell her? that's fucked off, dude." Charlie said, flipping her long brown hair, over one shoulder.
i Took a step back.
"Deven, no matter what your my sister, i came here for him, but felt your love, and it snapped something inside me, i'm good now. you have to believe me, no one else will."
i noticed how Tatum wasn't at her side.
"I have to go."
"Deven-"
"I have to think." i cut Preston off.
i left the garden and went to the empty food hall. i sat down and put my head in my hands.
i couldn't be mad at them right now, i had to focus i didn't need people against me, even more so Liv, even though everything inside me is telling me to rip off her f-ing head right now.
"you okay kid?"
instead of jumping, Walkers voice made me calm. or he did. he was being overly calm, hoping it would rub off on me.
he sat next to me. he slowly put his hand on my back, and then rubbed up and down. his hand was warm and i was in peace.
"you know what you gotta go if you want to beat him don't you?"
"I'm not drinking from you."
instead of pulling away like i should, i scooted closer to him, and let my forehead rest on the table.
"You have to, you can't drink anyone's else blood. what if i was week, would you let me drink from you?"
"Of course i would."
i looked up at him.
"I don't believe you."
"You don't have to. just know that i'm not telling a lie."
i felt a sharp stab of pain.
"You really don't trust me?"
"I'm one of the bad guys remember?"
he stopped rubbing my back and scooted away from me.
"No," i begged pulling him to me.
"look at me."
"I can't."
"Why?"
"Cause it hurts too much, and i don't know why."
"I'm causing you pain?"
"yeah."
"I don't feel it."
"It's too much, i wouldn't let you feel it."
i swallowed.
i turned his face to mine.
"don't." i whispered as he tried to move.
i softly kissed him.
he kissed me back once.
his smile was big.
it wasn't cocky, it was filled with confidence.
"I don't know how to get under Olivia's skin but i do know how to get under Preston's."
"Cut yourself."
he shook his head.
"bite me Deven."
"But remember last-"
"Just do it." he whispered eyes closed.
i lifted his sleeve.
i raised his wrist to my mouth and bit into him.
i watched his face, as he bit into his lip.
his blood poured into my mouth and i forgot about everything else.
Walker scooted closer, scooping me up until i was on his lap, so i wasn't yanking his arm out of it's socket.
i looked at him.
"Don't look at me your going to want to stop."
he looked away, and i heard a small moan come from his lips.
"Does it hurt?" i asked, once i was done.
"No it...feels like let me show you."
"I have to be strong." I said.
"I'll let your drink again, give me your wrist."
he took my wrist and bit into it.
i clamped my mouth shut at the moan that escaped from my lips.
the feeling as like, lying down on a grass field, in the middle of summer.
i felt content. and then it hit me. big suffocating waves of need. i felt like i couldn't breath. i never wanted anything in my life more than i wanted Walker at the moment.
"Walker stop." i whispered, through clenched teeth.
his thumbs rubbed my arm to let me know it was okay.
"You made your point i have to be strong."
he pulled away.
"Get the feeling?"
i nodded.
"Here."
he pressed his wrist back to mine.
as i drank he put his hand on the small of my back and made small circles.
his eyes where closed, and his lips where a fine line.
"I'm done."
"You sure?"
"Positive."
i pushed his shoulder, when his cocky grin came to his face.
i got off of his lap.
"How are we going to do this."
"Have you tried to compromise?"he asked.
"Stop, i like you close." he whispered.
i relaxed into him.
"Will he listen?"
"Maybe not."
"see we gotta get rid of him. Walker?"
"Yeah?"
"You wont keep things from me right, no matter how small they are?"
"I promise."
he softly turned my head up, and gave me the softest kiss i ever was given.
"thank you."
"I'm on your side." he said, holding me closer.
"What are we gonna do?"
"We gotta have Live on our side."
i took his hand and pulled him to the garden.
"Deven." Liv said.
i put up my hand.
"I don't want to be friends. Right now we only have one thing in Common. to get rid of Benton. We have to have you on our side."
"I'm in i won't let you down."
"We'll see. Everyone that doesn't have a gift for an element stays here, no if and or fucking buts, the rest of you, follow me lets put an end to this."
They whooped and followed me.
I gripped Walkers hand, and ran to see who's death would be next.
