His warm, strong, reassuring arms came around me and held me close.
“Ky, what is it?” he whispered in my ear, “Is she here?” I shook my head knowing he feared that Selena had come to camp.
“I’ve just messed everything up like I always do,” I said wiping at my eyes.
“Shh,” he said stroking my hair, “what are you talking about?”
“I am so mean to him. I don’t deserve him. I deserve to die alone with only cats for company. I am such a horrible person!” I cried, not caring who heard me.
He chuckled into my hair. “You are the best person I know, Ky. He’s crazy if he doesn’t see that. Everyone fights. No one is perfect. Not even you.”
I shook my head back and forth. “You don’t understand. He is nothing but nice to me. He’s always there for me and telling me he’ll always be by my side no matter what and that he loves me and how do I treat him? Huh? By being a bitch. He deserves someone so much better than me. He probably wishes I wasn’t his soul mate,” I said sadly.
“Ky, I may not like the guy for the simple fact that he has you but anyone can see that he loves you more than anything. He wants you, Ky. Only you. I have to give the vamp credit for that,” he said grabbing my arms so that I was forced to stay still and meet his blue eyed gaze.
“But I don’t deserve him and he deserves so much better than me!” I said pulling away from Isaac and wiping desperately at my face to dispel the lingering black streaks.
“I can see that I’m not going to be
able to make you see sense. Come here,” he said pulling me to his chest because he could see my lip quivering from my sheer force of will to not cry again.
He hugged me close and rubbed my hair and whispered comforting words in my ear which was exactly what I needed.
“I love you, Is,” I said into his chest.
“I love you, Ky,” he said into my hair.
“Wanna go fight now?” I asked making him laugh.
“You tell me you love me and then you want to know if I want to fight. You are one strange girl,” He said pulling away and shaking his head.
“I know,” I said blushing.
All was silent at the camp which was strange. I followed Isaac through the woods to the clearing that was referred to as the arena.
I put on my protective padding. Isaac didn’t wear any padding. It was far more likely that I would be injured than him. Weighted down to the point that I weighed three times my normal weight I waddled over to the center of the clearing where Isaac was waiting for me taping his hands.
“Ready?” he asked.
I grinned, “Of course, Isaac. The question is are you?” This made him laugh so hard that he doubled over clutching his stomach.
“The day you get a punch in that actually hurts will be a miracle,” He said in between insane bouts of laughter.
We started our deadly dance. Punch. Feint. Punch. Feint. Jab. Feint.
I ducked under his punch that was aimed at my face and instead landed a punch in his side. He grunted from the surprising impact of my punch. I laughed and tiptoed back like a pixie dancing from flower to flower.
A plan formed in my mind as I saw his eyes dilate to calculated deadly pits of inky blue.
He jabbed at my face and narrowly missed but he didn’t know that.
“Oh god!” I said, “I think you broke my nose!” I held my nose for emphasis.
The deadly predator gaze left him and he was instantly my concerned friend.
“Oh, Ky I’m so sorry. Let me see it,” He said stepping closer.
One more step.
