Fire & Ice by Tohru Natsumi & Elliot Cross (diy ebook reader TXT) 📕

food up before I ate yours sorry" He looked at his feet. Night gave Tohru a piece of meat to; Elliot looked at her, "sorry" his eyes were hidden behind hands. Night and Tohru both looked at him in shock of what he said. "For what, the scratch?" Tohru said half laughing. "It’s nothing, don't worry about it. Night-sempai told me you couldn't control yourself and was surprised you didn't kill me. She said with a smile. "How can you smile like that?" Elliot asked. Tohru looked at him confused. "Elliot... control." said Night. "Elliot, you couldn't control yourself, and I was stupid to be standing right there in the first place." Tohru said. "I’m glad you liked the rice ball." Tohru said, changing the subject. "And, Night-sempai, I'm a vegetarian, so you can have this, sorry." She apologized. "Eh, more for Me." he said taking it and digging in. "How are you feeling?" Tohru asked Elliot. "Eh? A little tired, extremely hungry and I feel really open to the elements around me." He said with open eyes. "Wow! Like how open?" She pried. "I can smell new things, I hear things from a mile away, and I can taste..." He trailed off. "It’s just really different. There was quiet for a while, No one spoke for the longest of times. Night was the first to break it, "Elliot I need to start training you soon" Elliot broke from his stupor. He got up a little to only hear a noise in the distance, Night and he both looked to where the sound came from. Tohru looked at the both of them, "why are both of you" "shhh" Night spoke. Another brush of steps came to their ears, "I'm sure this area is off limits to anyone who hasn't gotten permission" Night stood up beside Elliot. A smell descended towards their noses, "what....Elliot cover your nose now" Night coughed out. Elliot did as told; Elliot still caught a whiff of it. His eyes turned Yellow a bit, "what is this horrid smell" Tohru was confused. Night fell a bit to the ground, "wolfs bane burning" he coughed again. Tohru walked toward night, "Night- sempai are you ok" his eyes closed a little. "Wolfs bane normally brings out the worse side in us, but burning it makes us weak and tired" he fell asleep. Elliot stood in front of Tohru, "Natsumi stay behind me it might be dangerous" the sound now came from the side of them. "Well, I'm going to go see if Night-sempai is okay." She said. "No! Stay behind me!" Elliot said assertively, with his hand over his face. "But..." She started. "But Nothing!" He finished. Tohru did what he said but couldn't help but to glance over at Night-sempai every second or so. "That smell is getting stronger." Tohru pointed out. "Get out of here!" He said. "Why!" she said. "Just do it!" He turned to her his eyes were bright yellow. She looked at him and took off. She darted into the woods and kept running after about 10 minutes of running, she stopped and thought. Crap I haven't been keeping track of where I was going. It was already twilight. "Crap!" She said aloud. She wondered if Elliot was alright. "I hope he is..." She said. Then continued onward. Elliot was breathing heavy; "damn the smell is really thick" He went toward the noise. Stopping short, he looked toward the place Tohru went, "we walked right into their trap!" Tohru was starting to get paranoid. She didn't like the fact of being alone in the middle of the woods at night. The more she thought about it, the more it frightened her. Normally it wouldn't bother her, but with the last week’s events, she is really paranoid to be alone. She heard what sounded like a stick break. Her eyes widened with fear. "Wh... Who's there?" She asked like a little child. "I have a knife!" She lied. "And I'm not afraid to use it." Man the only weapon she had, if you classify it as a weapon, was the leftover rice balls. She broke out into a cold sweat. She began running. Frantically, she hid in a hollowed out log. The footsteps were coming closer. Her heartbeat fastened. Tep, tep, tep. The footsteps came faster and closer. Elliot looked around at his surroundings the smell was dissipating. He heard Tohru. He started to run toward the way he heard her, something grabbed him and yanked him backwards into a tree. "Don't move." Said a serious voice. Tohru was still hiding in the log when the footsteps stopped. "Screw this!!!" She screamed and flew out of the log. She almost got away when something grabbed her by her waist. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She screamed. Elliot looked at the people who had stopped him, but they put him in the spot where the sun would blind him most all he could see is that they were students from the night class. He looked at them, "what's going on here?" the others just laughed. "He warned her not to see you and we are making sure that you don't see her" one said. "You’re talking about Natsumi" he growled a little, but stopped at the sound he made. They laughed again. SHHHHH... said a soothing voice. Tohru turned around to see Akaito’s smirking face. She started to hit him. "Leggo' of me!" She said repeatedly. "Hey, Ow, stop it you silly girl!" Tohru stopped but then wiggled free. "What the hell are you doing?" She demanded. "Protecting you." He said half sarcastic. "Were you the one burning wolfs bane?" She asked. "No." He said. She searched his face for any sign of dishonesty, but gave up when she found none. "Well, then go find out who." She told him. "Someone is trying to hurt Elliot and whether u like it or not I'm getting involved." She said stubbornly. Then as he was about to speak a loud howling sound came from the woods where Tohru came from. Elliot lost it, they were carrying wolf's bane; he was going to go after the closest. He started toward one, but they laughed; he barred his teeth at them. out of nowhere Night came crashing at him in wolf from throwing him away from them a little, he bit at Elliot, "wake up from you're stupor mutt" he growled at Elliot. Night felt the smell of wolfs bane also he slowly let the wolf in him take control, the sound of feet from more people were coming. Night was no longer in control of himself he ran towards the sound; Tohru and Akaito were the noise. Night lunged at then Akaito threw him aside, Elliot felt him gaining control. Akaito not noticing Night wasn't all the way out; started to walk toward the group. Night lunged at them once more, but failed by getting bashed in the side by Elliot; Akaito turned around to see growling and saw that Elliot was close to Tohru. "Elliot! Are you okay?" She said walking towards him. "Tohru! Get the Hell Back!!! Akaito Yelled. "No!" She yelled back. Tohru looked into Elliot's eyes and could tell he was still in control. "Elliot, if you can hear me, calm down." She said in the sweetest voice she could. Elliot nudged her and then knelt down as if he wanted her to get on his back. So Tohru climbed up. Held on tight, and then Elliot took off like a speeding bullet. "Dammit!" Was all they heard from Akaito as they sped away. Elliot ran to an opening a little way away; he let Tohru down, she had leaves in her hair. Akaito chased after them, Elliot started to growl at the opening that they came from knowing that he was coming. After all, to Elliot it was his fault about the wolfs bane, he made sure Tohru was behind him, he limped from the bite he earned earlier from Night. His eyes narrowed as Akaito entered, "Tohru why did run off I have to make you're safe" he started to walk toward her. Elliot cut him off from his path. Just as Elliot was about to lunge at Akaito, Tohru jumped in between them. Elliot couldn't stop and bit her. Elliot's eyes widened and he let go. Tohru let out a blood curdling scream and fell to the ground clutching her shoulder. "Elliot, I’m so sorry I didn't mean to." She started. The pain was unbearable. She was bleeding pretty badly. Akaito, shocked at what Tohru just did, looked at her, then at her shoulder. "The blood..." he said. His eyes turned bright red. He started toward her. Elliot let out a loud snarl. But Akaito ignored it. He picked up Tohru and disappeared into the woods. Elliot tried to listen in as much as possible to hear where he went, but he was being as quiet as possible it seemed. Tohru's blood dripped down his face, he reclaimed his human form, "Dammit!" he screamed. Out of nowhere a snap was heard he turned to face Night who was still out of control, Night lugged at him Elliot tried to dodge, but he got his leg. At that moment he heard a noise close to the end of the forest. Transforming back he turned on Night, warning him to get away from him. Night then backed off a little realizing what he had done. Elliot knew he was going to be slow with an injured leg, he ran as fast as he could toward the noise hoping it was Akaito and Tohru. Tohru was withering in pain. "Akaito, am I going to die?" She asked. "Shhh," he said still jumping from tree to tree. After a couple of minutes he stopped. "Tohru, I’m going to cleanse your body, but in order for me to do this I'm going to have to take in some of your blood." He said. "Will I become a vampire?" She asked shaking violently. "Do you want to?" He asked. "No." She said using up a lot of her energy. "Akaito... please, don't... hurt... Elliot." She said and went limp. Akaito pulled her toward him. And began to drink her blood. Elliot Arrived to the scene of Akaito drinking her blood; he grew angry and growled at him. He ran towards Akaito, but stopped short looking at the blood the smell reached his nose. He went into his human form hoping that the urges he just had would stop. Elliot stepped backwards he then looked at Akaito, "what the hell are you doing to her Akaito" he flinched a little at his leg pain. Akaito looked at him with Blood red eyes, but did not stop. Tohru was beginning to turn even paler than she normally was. "Akaito! STOP!" Elliot said charging at Akaito. Akaito dropped Tohru with a gasp. Elliot rammed him so hard in the gut. Tohru was not dead. She could hear everything that was going on but she was too weak to move. She opened her eyes to see Elliot and Akaito fighting. She tried to yell at them to stop but all she could force out was a whimper. Elliot and Akaito stopped to her surprise. Elliot walked over to her, but got pushed by Akaito out of the way. Elliot's foot was bleeding horribly now, he walked behind Akaito knowing not to say anything. He remembered he knocked her out of Akaito’s hands, "Dammit why did I do that" he yelled at himself out loud. Akaito picked up Tohru. She flinched from the pain. "May I continue!" Asked Akaito, he was beginning to get pissed off. "What are you doing to her? Will she be a Vampire?" Elliot asked. "A Half vampire..." Akaito said looking at Tohru, who they both knew was dying. Elliot looked at Tohru then at Akaito, he knew there wasn't a choice in the matter. "Will she need to drink blood?" Elliot asked.
