Fire Starter [Minecraft Diaries Fanfic]

Not edited***

I successfully made it out of Pikoro. It was becoming night. I debated about actually going up in the mountains for high ground, or sleeping in a cave, but that would be stupid since that's probably that's the first place they'd look for me since I told Amethyst I'd be there.

I wondered about Amethyst, and how heart broken she'd be, when she found out....but she was fine. She had her husband to take care of her and Ava. Her and Ava swapped pastries all the time. I smiled a little thinking about her, but soon threw the memory back into my sea of thoughts. I had too much to worry about right now....I didn't need that.

I decided that I wouldn't sleep at all, it wasn't safe. Plus it didn't make sense, why would I set up camp so close to Pikoro, so then in the morning they'd realized I was gone and check the area....didn't make any sense at all. I made it this far in not giving up now.

I decided to run until I hit the river. The river would mark half way to ScalesWind. I debated on going there, I could stay there for a night or two the head off to Phoenix Drop. If they already found her she'd be there right? But wouldn't they send a letter out saying they found her? So she couldn't be there.....

If I did stay at Scales wind no one would recognize me....I've been on a few trading trips a while back ago but not enough for them to remember my face.

I thought about going to Phoenix drop, but no they would surely remember me. I was the one who killed her in the first place....but I guess I didn't kill her if she's still alive.....And that's exactly why I have to find her.

I pulled my Cloak over me it came just Above my knees. I took out my lamp and lit it then I began to run silently, or as quietly as possible. Who knows what could be wandering the forest at night. My pulse raced and my feet picked up the pace. Perhaps when I get there I could sleep in a tree? I knew I'd be safe there since Hailey never expands her search groups that far.

I ran faster feeling like I was being watched. But then my pants got caught on thorns. I tugged and tugged, but it was stuck. I suddenly heard a twig snap. Shit.Did someone follow me?

I tugged harder only receiving pain in my legs from the thorns. Fuck the pants. I pulled my pants off, but still having the coverage from the cloak, as if it was a black dress. I ran like hell. I held the lamp in front of me so I could see better in the pitch black. I tripped a couple of times but regained my balance.

But then I hit something hard and fell. The lamp tumbled I front of me. I kept my head low, as I starred at the feet I front of me. My brown hair draped out of the cloaks hood, but I kept my face low to the ground so they wouldn't see me.

"Well, well, well. Long time no see Hot stuff" a man chuckled from above me. I felt my blood bubbling with anger once I realized who it was.

??? P.O.V

I starred down at the girl I met a few weeks ago. Maybe months? I wouldn't know. Her brown hair was draped in front of her as her scratched up legs were exposed with small jagged cuts.

As she gazed up at me her blue eyes sparkled in the night. The fire starter....

She slowly collected herself and picked up her lamp. "You scarred me!" She yelled shoving me, although it did nothing. I just laughed " Watch it hot stuff, how was I suppose to know it was you? It wasn't like your wearing the hottest trends out to night" I joked. I could tell the fire jokes were getting to her. It was funny.

"Ugh! Your so annoying! Don't you have something better to be doing!" She yelled in frustration throwing her hands in the air. I scoffed "what's better than annoying you?" She just sighed, and reached for her backpack but I kindly snatched it.

"HEY!" She yelled reaching for the bag. I easily towered her 5'8 figure with my 6'1 height. "Hay is for horses....are you a horse?" I asked her jokingly.

She huffed and began to walk away with me following behind her trail. "Why are you following me?" She snapped. I smirked "i wanted to walk you home like a true gentleman does on a date, I can't have you getting hurt anymore can I?" I told her and she scoffed fluffing her hair "this is NOT a date" she said pointing at my chest and I smirked. Feisty.

"Uhuh sure babe" I told her following again "so...where are you going anyways?" I asked her. She sighed and said " no where" well, now I knew she was lying. "NO WHERE?!" I said excitedly "ME TOO!" I said in a mocking tone. "We can go together!" I said happily. I had nothing better to do.

"Oh hell no. Stop right there" she said stopping and trying to level with me "you are not coming with me" she said. "Yeah I am" I said happily.

"No your not"

"Yes I am"

"Nope"

"Yup"

"No"

"Yes"

"Noooo"

"Yessss"

"Ugh!" She yelled in frustration. "Face it hot head, you're not getting rid of me." I said proudly. But then I suddenly realized what she packed. A lamp, a back pack with a blanket and water bottle hanging out....was she really going no where?

"Now, would ya like to tell me where we're going?" I asked. Was she going to camp at the river? That's what direction were walking in.....

"I already told you....no where. I......just wanna get away" she said. My heart ached for her a bit. What was she running from?

"Well......how about we camp out by the river?" I asked her. "No......I'm going further. They'll find me" she said. Find her? What did she do?

"Oh..." I said. Oh well.... " well....if your hiding from someone....I know where you can hide out......." I offered. I don't really have anything to loose.

"No...I-I'm not staying...I just need a place for the night" she said sadly. She reminded me of something I could place. I ran my finger threw my hair.

"Yeah well, this place is good for that too" I offered again. "And where would that place be?" She asked clearly tired. "Come on I'll show you" I said grabbing her arm. "Hey!" She shouted as we waved through the grass and trees.

Katie's P.O.V

It was him. The boy that saved me from before. But this time only his eyes were blue. His blue hair was now brown. He was really tall. So many questions swarmed my mind that I wanted to ask him but right now didn't exactly seem like a suitable time.

"Where would this place be?" I asked cautiously but curiously. He flashed me and smile that showed off his dimples. "I'll show you" he said with mischief  dripping from his words as he took a hold of my fire arm and brought me into the darkness. "Hey!" I shouted.

We waved through bushes, shrubs and trees. Until he came to an erupt stop and turned around causing me to run straight into his chest. "Sorry" I mumbled clearly embarrassed. He just smirked and said "close your eyes" what?! No way what if she was a killer?!

"No way" I shook my head in disapproval. Not happening. "Come on, just do it. If I was gonna kill you I wouldn't have saved you from dying" he said. True...but not reassuring enough. We just stood there in silence and darkness with only the soft glow of my lamp to see. I kept my head low. I wasn't gonna do it.

"Katie.........." He whispered and my eyes flew to his almost startled by the fact he remembered my name. He lifted my chin and said "close your eyes" this time I did as if his eyes out my under a spell or trance.

With in seconds I felt a gust of wind and my eyes snapped open. We were somewhere totally different. Near the river was a tent and camp fire sent up that waited and yearned for a spark. I looked at the boy in awe. How did he do that?

"How did you-how could you- what did- WHAAAT?!" I stood there starstruck. Did he have powers too? He chuckled.

"What's your name?" I asked him still processing everything. "That's not important" he said defensively. "What do you mean? You know mine.." I said. Unfair.

"You know what, how about you just start the fire and then maybe I'll answer some of your questions" he said stubbornly. I hesitated. What if I hurt him? What if the same thing happens? OH NO! I DIDN'T PACK MY FIRE SUIT?!

I began to panic. I need to go back. I need it now. My hands began to shake and I felt the flame with in me begin to spark. No! Please!

I watched as the boy starred at me with concern. "Y-you don't have to if you don't want to" he said but I ignored him. I was loosing control. I needed to relax. No....I'm going to kill him too. My hands began to flicker. "I-I-I n-n-need to g-go back!" I said stumbling to my feet starring at my hands.

"What's going on? Is everything okay?" He asked me. I ignored him again, I turned towards the forest and began to run. I was gonna flip. I was gonna loose it. Not again....

I ran and as if the boy teleported he appeared beside me "Katie" I ignored and ran faster. Then he did it again appearing beside me "What's wrong?!" He asked. My hair began to flicker into flames. I silently prayed it would stop.

But then I tripped and collapsed onto the ground, I held onto a tree to help myself up but when I stood up and removed my hand there was a hand print on it in flames. I fell to my knees I was a demon.

I cradled my hands and held them close to my chest. Suddenly the same familiar feet appeared in front of me. I tried to not cry knowing the tears would scar my face if I went all up in flames.

I looked up at the boy, as his hair turned into white then blue, and his eyes turned into a darker shade. He levitated his hand near the flaming tree and it went out. I looked at him confused and almost scarred when I realized what he was. He was a water elemental.

"Come on Katie, lets go back...please" he offered a hand. I went to take it but it we Immediately yelped in pain. We were complete opposites. He was water I was fire. We equally felt the same pain towards each other.

This time I back away from him and asked him again "what's your name?"

-------------------------------------------------------

Third P.O.V

The boy stayed silent. Thinking of weather it was worth it. If any of it was worth it. If it was worth a waste of breath to answer her petty question. The boy always feared this question knowing what would always happen next.

He knew that if you answer the 'what is your name' more questions personal or like it would come next. He feared himself and all he was. But so did she. He feared his past, and everything after it. Though they both had things the other didn't.

She had love, and family, but he had found himself and all he is. The opposite knew they would need each other. But God, the other was so annoying they thought.

With his fear in hold, knowing that he would have to sacrifice his fear to get to know her. Although she wouldn't say it, she needed his help. And although he wouldn't say it, he did too. He sighed and walked closer to the hot headed mess in front of him and said

"I'm Thoren"

Almost immediately the hot headed, troubled, sad girl's fire went out. His hair went back to brown and his eyes became stormy blue again. They talked the night away and fell asleep back in the small dimension of safety he created for her. They fell asleep, for once, mind clear and dreamt of the adventures for the day to come.
