The Flames of Life

Chapter 3

Blake's Confession

I don't know what happened, as I was talking, it was just so quick, I felt something soft brushing against my lips. It was Blake. I push him away in astonishment as I cover my mouth. He looked at me struggling to figure out what was going on and he laughs. I whisper, "Why? Why did you do that?" He says, "Well, you were talking so fast and I was getting really bore-" I slap him and tease, "Stop joking around, why?" He rubs his face and whimpers, "Ouch..." I roll my eyes and say, "Stop being a little sissy and tell me why. For real." He says, "Well... I have to admit, I kinda have a crush on you too." I speechlessly stare at him as I hear Hunter say, "The food's ready!" I say, "I'm not that hungry right now." I try to get up and I whimper as my leg had a great surge of pain go through it. Blake says, "Dude, you should probably stay here right now..." and puts me down onto the mattress. He sits on the mattress that I was laying on as Blake climbs in. I say, "WHOA, I'm not exactly ready for THAT yet, just sleep in your own tent..." He says, "Didn't you notice? I don't HAVE my own tent." I say, "Then share Hunter's." He rolls his eyes that would be kinda awkward for the two of us." I say, "Fine, just don't do anything creepy." I drift off to sleep, but I'm awakened to a gunshot. Blake gets up but I grab his hand and my eyes widen. I let go and say, "Sorry... Just a bit scared." I jump out of bed and I look outside. Nobody was there, but then I felt a sharp pain in my back. I run away as I see a shady figure whiz around camp like a blur. I gasp in pain as a huge slash appears across my shoulder as blood flows down to the ground as it swirls around the ground. I look at my hands covered with blood and I topple backwards and Blake catches me, running onto his dragon. My dragon gets ready to follow us and Hunter jumps onto his dragon. We lift off as the shadowy blur still zips around the camp.

I wake up to the rush of wind. Vixie nudges me off and helps me get off. We land at a small cave and I walk in as the dragons settle in a larger cave nearby. "How much longer to fly?" I ask wearily. Hunter says, "It's at The Ruins, and that's like, almost on the other side of the world." I almost faint, but I realize that I fainted WAY too much in this journey already. Hunter says, "Good thing my dragon can control the stars... He bended the stars to bring us our items back. We set up our tents again and I stumble back into the tent. I soak the tent a red color as I stare at my hand, blood trailing down. I sit down and clutch my head as memories pour in. The blood still came back, the flames. My parents... Blake runs in and sees me panting and shaking uncontrollably as he says, "It's ok, just breathe, just breathe..." I can't calm down as blood runs across the floor of the tent as tears fall down my face and mix with the blood. I sob as Blake rips off part of the blanket and wipes the blood off of my wounds off. I wipe my eyes with my hands as he grabs my bloody hands and cleans them of the blood. I say, "Why do I even have to exist, why do I even live on this planet?! This cruel world... How can people live on this cruel world..." I smile weakly as I say, "Sometimes... sometimes I just want to wipe myself off the face of the earth... I just want to kill myself, I would be so happy... seeing the blood flow from my chest, to have the joy of not having to suffer anymore... the joy of being dead." Blake grabs me and says, "Snap out of it! Killing yourself isn't the answer! Your life is bad, yes, but people still need you!" Blake starts crying too and says, "Nobody wants to lose you..." I scream, "What do you mean?! Nobody cares about me! They all want me gone!" Blake says, "I care. Hunter cares, too." I look up at him and sigh. I say, "I just want to leave... I want to be done with this whole mess..." Blake kissed me again with his soft lips. I stumble back into the mattress and I try to draw back, but this time he didn't let me go. I  lean back against the wall as his tongue plunges in my mouth deeper. I sink down on the bed as Blake withdraws from me, but then he walks to the tent opening and zips it shut. He reaches to unzip his pants as I say, "I'm not ready for that!" He purrs seductively, "I know you better than you yourself..." His pants fall down and I back up, my face literally like a tomato. He says, "Your turn." I say, "Wait I-" He dives towards me and takes off my pants himself as I turn extremely red. He smiles as he takes off his jacket, only wearing a t-shirt, and he takes off mines, so I'm also only wearing a t-shirt, too. He says, "Well, aren't you going to do anything?" I recoil, retorting, "Well I'm not the one who wanted to do this in the first place..." Blake rolls his eyes and he says, "Well, I guess we could start out small..." He sits between my body and legs as my knees instinctively bend to make him come closer. He bends forward and pulls me into a kiss as I wrap my arms around his neck. I close my eyes ad I feel his tongue plunge in my mouth as my tongue probes his mouth. Blake draws back from the kiss, a trail of spit connecting our mouths. I soon realized that I needed more of him as he immediatley ducks his head down to my clit as his mouth wraps around it and his tongue swirled it around in his mouth as I moan. He smiles at my reaction and says, "First time?" I manage to cough out, "F-first... time... Too much....." He sighs as he gets up. I grab my clothes and I'm eager to put them back on. I drift off to sleep in minutes.
