Blue's POV
I dove harder than I thought I could, moved faster than I knew I could. Her body nearly hit the water, but I wrapped my arms around her just as she nearly went under.
I couldn't stop, I just wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close then spun so my back hit the river bank when we crash landed.
I didn't even think as I opened my arms and looked at her face, with a sigh.
She was okay. She was alive.
I can breathe.
I plucked her hard on her forehead making her wince and flutter her eyes open. She peaked up at me, "Oh shit, I'm in hell aren't I?" she asked trying to look around.
I gave her a dead look before shoving her out of my arms and onto the muddy ground where the water was splashing, she squealed like a pig, as I stood up.
Her eyes looked over to the bus that was on the opposite side of the bank, her lips tugged into a smile, before she turned to me, a bright look in her eye.
She was proud of me.
Barf.
Katrina's POV
He gave me an annoyed look as I smiled brightly back at him.
Such a sour person.
My eyes looked further down the river where I saw Blue throw the Shadow's body, but there was no movement that I could see. "You think he's dead?" I asked.
Blue stood slowly, "No, unfortunately. We need to get out of here, the police are probably on their way and we all know of great of a relationship you have with those dumbass" he stated.
No kidding.
I shook slowly, trying to forget about the mud that was currently caked to my boobs. But it's fine.
I turned back towards Blue to find his eyes were still practically glowing off of his face. Not as strongly as before, but you could tell this was his alter ego in place.
I looked at him wary. I knew what that other asshole was capable of, this one in front of me ... not so much. "Blue ...".
He tilted his head, like a cute ... deranged puppy.
"Not entirely" he stated simply.
Well then. How in the hell do you respond to some shit like that? "Am I ... safe with you?"
"Probably not" he shrugged.
"You know, I think I can actually just take the train home from here! It shouldn't take me too long, how about I meet you back home! And we can catch up there and-"
"We are in London" he cut me off amused.
Well shit.
He stood looking cocky waiting for my reply, knowing I was shit out of luck. And options.
"London? Well ... maybe we should-" I turned to run ... anywhere honestly, but his meaty arm quickly cut off my path.
I turned to look at him, his eyebrows were raised amusement jumping on his face. "Did you really expect that to work?" he questioned, it was almost like in this form he forgot or couldn't understand how humans worked anymore.
I pursed my lips at him trying to choke down the slight tingling of fear that was climbing up my spine, "Does it ever work for me?" I asked. I sagged in defeat, " so who exactly are you, and in this version ... how much am I worth?" I asked.
He chuckled deeply, "Its still me, Katty ... just little less controlled ... little more evil ... a lot more sexy. You have the same worth to me as you did five hours ago. Zero to none" he chuckled.
Katty. His weird ass nickname that he had given me. I guess it must be him then, but just to make sure, "so you're my Blue, huh? If that's true then ... name what I did to try to kill you, the first time" I said.
His lips twitched slightly as he tried to choke down a smile, "Do you mean when you hit me with a plank of wood? I'm not sure what your intent was with that one, or are you referring to the time you tried to choke me out with a cord, our first night together?" He looked down at me.
I squinted my eyes at him, "no comment to go along with those memories?"
He gave me a dirty smirk, "besides the boner I get from the thought of you committing homicide? No" he shrugged.
I gave him a dead look. I guess it really is his demented blue condom ass.
"Now that we are done playing twenty questions, are you ready to go?" He asked me as he left his hand out for me to grab.
It was up to me to trust him this time, and I did. But ... I was scared.
Everything that had happened in that convention had scared me to my core. I was terrified of what he could actually do to me.
I knew he could snap me in half, kill me, murder me, drown me, but I was not expecting him to be able to crush me, and after seeing what our future holds, he could crush me.
When. That was the question. When would he crush me, how much time did I have, and how much further can I go knowing that I couldn't get too close, because now I was the one who didn't know if this could work, and I didn't want to really know.
Not anymore.
All this is true, but I still wanted to know how close I could get to the sun before burning.
I slowly reached my hand for his. A small bolt of electricity came out of no where connecting our two hands. My jaw dropped as the connection between us showed itself, and god did it feel good.
It was barely our hands touching but the pleasure was insane.
His hand slowly engulfed mine as a shiver ran down my body. My eyes caught his, that were now shining so bright I thought I would have to look away.
His hand yanked me to him so I feel into his body, his other arm warping around me, "Close your eyes, Kat", I could barely open my mouth to ask why, before he shot off in the air like a bullet.
It was 30 minuets later that I felt him slow down, before stopping completely and hovering through the air. I finally peaked my eye open.
My eyes immediately collided with the highest building back home, Dun Inc. "What are we-" Blue nose fucking dived towards the top of his building.
I couldn't even scream or try to push away from this suicidal psycho, before he shot himself towards the helicopter landing sign that was on top of his building.
We hit it, but the death or pain, or bleeding never came. We went through the building, almost like it was liquid before landing easily on the soft carpeted floor of an loft.
My stomach was in knots and my legs were numb, but thank god I was at least alive. I shoved away from him, "What was that you dented light bulb?!" I hissed at him.
He released me making me stumble back into a couch, "Did I forget to tell you about my secret entrance? Oh my bad" he muttered dully.
I glared at him as we walked over to the window that was facing the whole city, he tapes on the window lightly before a screen pops up, Ponyboy's voice sounded out, "Boss" he shouted through the connection.
"Pony how is everything? Where is everyone at?" Blue asked.
I skipped over to the fridge, "Well ... we are now on our way, 3 hours out. But we ran into a problem" Pony choked out.
I shoved some pickles in my mouth before nose diving for the pepperoni. Damn, what problems could Pony have?
"Like what?" Blue's voice growled out.
Pony coughed uncomfortably before he mumbled something out, "Pony so help me, what the hell happened?" Blue hissed.
I yanked the loaf of bread out of my mouth, "Oi! Don't you dare yell at him like that!" I glared at Blue who didn't even look at me, before flipping me off.
"Well ... Klaus and Aria arrived, but just as we were leaving to come meet you, Ana and Karter showed up ...together".
Blue was silent. I yanked apart a piece of ham from my mouth, "Soooo? Tell those two titty suckers to kiss each other's ass and play in traffic!" I shouted towards Pony.
He coughed uncomfortably, "That's where the problem came from ... after Aria gave them some choice words, they uhhh tried to kill her. Then Klaus jumped in, and once that happened ... the house burned down, and Corey was mildly burned. He's okay though" Pony quickly stated.
"Damnit" Blue sighed. He pinched the bridge of his nose, "Just get here as soon as possible, we have shit to do" Blue snapped.
"I don't think you fully get what I am saying. Ana and Karter didn't just show up ... they came because the decided they wanted to join us. They are in the car with all of us, including Corey. I tried to get him a flight home, but he demanded that he come to where Katrina is" Pony winced.
The key lime pie in my mouth nearly fell out.
Blue was silent, my eyes watching him , wide, waiting for him to demand that Pony push Ana and Karter out of the car while it was moving.
Hopefully at 100 mph.
I looked at Blue waiting, "well?! What are you waiting for?" I snapped at him.
He turned towards me, his jaw ticking in obvious annoyance. "Don't" he warned me.
I nearly choked, "are you shitting me?! Tell those deranged assholes to go shit in someone else's cereal!" I hissed at him.
"What do you expect me to do? They will bring their sorry asses here anyway, I cant stop that" he glared.
"THE HELL YOU CANT! PONY TELL THOSE TWO TRAITOROUS SCROTUMS TO GO-"
"KATRINA! If you want them gone then get rid of the mutt that keep kissing your ass" he snarled at me.
"They hell are you talking about?" I snapped at him.
"Corey!"
I nearly shit a brick, "PLEASE DONT START THIS BULL SHIT AGAIN!" I growled at him.
"NO THE ONLY SHIT THERE IS, IS THE FACT THAT YOU LET THE LITTLE TICK PRACTICALLY HUMP YOUR LEG EVERY CHANCE YOU GET!" Blue exploded.
"That's not the only visitor, Henry is with us too" Pony slowly cut in.
Blue raised his eyebrows at me, "Can I electrocute those two dickfaces? Or are you going to drop it?"
I glared at him. "JUST ELECTROCUTE EVERYONE DAMNIT!" I screamed back at him, before shoving a cookie into my mouth.
Blue pulled his mask off, revealing the anger radiating off his face along with his eyes practically popping off his face.
"As much fun as I would have slowly suffocating those four twit pimples, we have bigger issues. Like figuring out who the fuck the Shadow is and then murdering him by stabbing him repeatedly with chop sticks. Now can you pull the tampon out your ass and act like you have at least a small bit of self control" he sapped at me.
I tore off a piece of bread with my teeth, "Oh I apologize. My bad! You know stupid little me! I just must be crazy for letting your brother and your wife, the chick he accidentally screwed, into our personal space because hey have the personality of a yeast infection. But its all cool, my bad! Remind me to put them on my Christmas list" I snapped before storming back over to the fridge.
Blue just glared, "So yeah we should be there soon!" Pony quickly cut in before ending the call.
Blue and I just looked at each other before I turned and stormed back to the kitchen, I'm pretty sure I saw a sandwich in the fridge.
"What was that?" Blue hissed from behind me as he stomped after me into the kitchen.
I shrugged as I continued to dig looking for the sandwich.
My head slammed up into the top of the fridge as Blue's body warmth surround me, and his hands rested on my lips as I was bent over.
I pulled out the fridge quickly before stumbling away from him. His eyes widened in shock at my actions, as I struggled to put some more steps between our body.
He watched me intently in slight confusion, "What are you doing?" he asked looking at me like I was crazy.
I pursed my lips trying to calm my beating heart, "Nothing".
He glared, "You're lying".
I looked around unsure of what to do, "...So?"
His eye slightly twitched.
True love people.
"Is there a reason you flung yourself away from me like I torched you?" he snapped.
I blinked at him, "I didn't. But if I did, which I didn't, then no I don't have a reason. But again, I did not do ... that" I rambled.
"Why don't you want me to touch you?"
"Why do you want to touch me?"
"So that I can have sex with you", I choked violently.
"Thats the type of shit that you keep to yourself, dumbass" I snapped at him as I wheezed for air.
He smirked evilly, "Its the truth, now you see how I told the truth? Its your turn, why did you just pull away from me?" he demanded.
I scratched my arm.
Excuse.
Excuse.
Excuse.
"I-I don't ... uh feel well, and I was being a good friend, by trying to not infect you" I shrugged.
Blue looked at me like I was the dumbest person he'd ever met, like my very existence was a toll on his life. He leaned back completely annoyed, "So, the girl who just had a bitch fit about my ex wife coming here, is now telling me that we are nothing more than friends?" he asked like he wanted to clarify that I was a moron.
Shit. I do sound like a moron.
"I didn't throw a bitch fit".
His fingers crunched the granite counter top, "Okay, so we could approach this like a normal couple, because that is what we are. Just incase you had any dumb ideas that we aren't, because your ass belong to me. But anyway, we could act like a normal couple, where I sit here and badger you about whats wrong, call you cute names and pretend like your petty problem that you refuse to share will just kill me if you don't tell me, then we have a long discussion about it and fix all our issues together, and maybe share a tender kiss at the end once we find that we stand on solid ground with one another" he mocked like a teenage girl, batting his eye lashes.
"Or?" I coughed out, just slightly terrified.
His face dropped the innocent act like a dime, "-Or, I sit here threaten you once with some painful punishment, you will try to run, because you are dumb and I will catch you because I am smart. From there I will begin to torture you with some creative, yet abstract punishment like ... dropping you off the roof, or repeatedly dunking your face underwater, until you decide that you can't take anymore and blurt whatever it is that you are refusing to not tell me" he smiled darkly at me.
"Those are my two option?" I blinked at him.
"Yes, and both pretty much end with my tongue down your throat. By the way, its most likely going to be the second option" he shrugged like we were discussing the weather.
How did I get here?
"Do you think ... that maybe we- are we ... maybe not-"
"Spit it out" he snapped.
"Good for each other?" I asked him slightly confused as I thought over the question. He was silent as he just stared at me, a blank look on his face, "I mean not good, but ... healthy, or that we were really-"
"You mean to ask me do I think I'm good for you" he stated drily.
His face was so blank, I couldn't even figure out what he was thinking, it was like he shut himself down, "No not-".
"I don't think I'm good for you" he stated strongly, he even let out a small dark breath.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Come on, Katrina. Don't tell me you haven't thought what do you get out of this? I think it all the time. You give me kids, a life, happiness I never even thought I could have. Those are the things you could give me. But what can I really give you?" he asked me like he was waiting for an answer.
"You can give me those things too-" I started.
"Anyone could give you those things, and I doubt they'd be as hard to deal with" he said. He was just stating facts that he knew were true, and it was blowing me out of the water. "I kidnapped you, put you through hilarious mental and physical pain, and yet ... you care. I've pretty much brain washed you, and I don't know if its sick that I know it and am keeping you here, or you've come to just accept it" he sighed as he dragged his hand down his face.
This is not where I thought the conversation was going.
He thought he was ruining me, while I was sitting here thinking I was ruining him.
"Funny. Because I was going to pretty much say I had ruined your life" I chuckled, as his head snapped up and he sent me a shocked expression. "Blake, you can ... do such amazing things, and you are living this great life, and when I saw the future, I pretty much got the view that I ruin your existence. Not to mention I'm holding you back, and I don't know what scares me more" I sighed pushing my crazed hair from my face.
"What the fuck are you going on about, idiot?" he snapped at me, shocking me out of my daze. He actually look angry at me, "You hold me back? From what? A life of evil and eventual damnation, ohhh nooo I'm going to miss soo much" he mocked.
I glared at him, "DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME! Blue you can fly, you can do a bunch of other crazy powerful shit, I can't do that. I'm the bag you have to carry around and make sure no one stabs! I'm practically useless, and I-I can't fly with you ... not like Ana did" I finished looking at him.
He was silent, "You're right. I should probably remarry her immediately" he nodded in fake understanding.
I took a deep breath, "Thats not funny" I snapped.
He took a huge step forwards until he was in my personal space, "Your wrong. Its hilarious. Fly with me? Really? She flew into my dick of a brother's bed. You are right about something though, you are really dragging me down. I mean its terrible how much you are holding me. I hate you because of it. Honest. You're a huge weight on my shoulders, like an infant that has this unbelievable drive to accidentally brutally murder itself. Pretty incredible actually. But for some damned reason ... you're mine, Katrina Justice. From this life to the next, you will forever belong to me. I'm going to make sure you keep breathing and I'm going to de-ball anyone who gets in my way of you. You are mine. So do I think our relationship is healthy? Fuck no. We probably need some kind of couples therapy, because we are a shit show, but dammit its our shit show" he snapped as his lips whispered over top of mine.
They barely touched but at the same time, the sparks that were shooting between his lips and mine were crazy.
"I'm terrified" I whispered my eyes shooting between his lips and his eyes.
"Of what?"
"I can take the estranged marriage. The break ups. Our bad ass little kids. The threats. The physical and mental pain. The heroes. The villains. The fighting. The destruction. Your bitch ass brother. You ugly ass ex wife. Your suck ass personality. Your multiple personality disorder-"
"I told you I don't have th-"
"BUT Blake Balder Dun, I cannot take the fact that one day, you could possibly leave me. That your little blue ass could die on me, and force me to live an existence where I have to wake up everyday and not get to hold you or see you, but be subjected to looking our child that looks exactly like you, in the face everyday. I can't do it. All the other bullshit that you've been putting me through means nothing to me, but that ... that is probably the worst thing .... punishment that you could inflict on me" I said ignoring the tear that crawled down my cheek.
His breath stopped. "Kat-"
"So sit here and look me in my eye and swear. Swear you will not leave this fucking earth until I do and only two seconds after my heart stops beating at the old ripe age of 127, and not a second later. Swear to me that you will not leave me, and other devil spawn we spit out onto this earth, because I will break. I saw it, I saw what I was like broken. You saw what I was like broken. So swear to me, swear that you won't fucking leave me. Where ever this shit takes us, apart or together in the end you come back to me, maybe in pieces, or even just a fraction of a piece, but you have to swear that your blue condom ass will go over hell and high water to come back to me. If you can't ... then break me here and now, when I can at least live with the pain. Don't break me once we have a life, I won't survive that. Swear to m-"
His eyes were shinning so brightly as he dropped to his knees in front of me, his eyes looking deep into mine.
"I swear, Katrina. Hell and high water, I swear" his deep voice clawed into my chest.
My tears dripped off of my face and leaked to his skin.
"I swear" he growled again.
And I'll be damned if I didn't believe him. I had no other option.
