Should Have Let Me Die

I swear her eyes lit up brighter as Kadence smiled at me as I pushed through the cords of fire. This was what I was talking about! The ropes of fire stretched out for at least twenty feet in all directions and scorched the ground around us. As I stepped closer to her, I noticed that my pants were still fine and not burning, which might be caused by the fact that Kara's magic is like my own now.

I took Kadence into my arms and leaned down to kiss her like the tendrils of fire danced around us. I stopped just short of her lips, staring into her burning red eyes. I felt different about Kadence, and it wasn't the same as what I felt for the other women, except for Alex. This world was so confusing for me, and I wasn't sure what to do with it all.contemporary romance

"It's easier this way, right? It's easier to let all the magic out and to burn, right?"

"Yeah, but…"

"I know, this isn't something you can just let off in the cabin, but we can make something on the top deck for you. We have ways, and ill figure something out so you can get more practice in. I need you, Kadence, not just for protection, but by my side. I want to keep you with for every step of the way."

Then we kissed, and the fires burned around us in a hurricane inferno. Suddenly the fire went out like it had never been, and Kadence burst with light!

'Wait, no, that's not right!' -Gripton.

'Erg, what's not right? Damn, I opened my eyes, and now I got sun spots.'

'Human-type creatures like elves cant evolve! You can only take the magic away and then give it back more robust!' -Gripton.

'Maybe I did? I don't know, but that's a scary thought! What if that was Nina?'

'No, that's not what happened here, look!' -Gripton.

I opened my eye, and Kadence stood in front of me wearing that same black dress, but something had changed. I let my eyes run up her neck, and then they froze when I got to her ears. Those were not elf ears; those were human ears! I looked over Kadence's face, and even her nose had lost some point.

"Holy shit!"

"WAH?! What's wrong with my face?! Why are you looking so surprised?!"

I was giving off the wrong impression here because she had only become more beautiful. Though, my expression might have said that she just turned into a man with the shocked face I held. I quickly explained to her why I was so astonished.

"You aren't an elf anymore, your ears and nose have lost their point, and you look more human now."

Kadence began to feel around her face and ears, starting to get very excited in my arms, so I let her go.

"What's got you so excited?"

"You don't understand! My mother had to turn me away and reject me as a daughter because of my ears and nose! Now I can go see her!"

Kadence lept into my arms, and I caught her in my arms, and I spun her around; maybe it wasn't about me taking away the magic and giving it back? What if it was more about helping each one grow as the people or whatever they want to be! I sure one-day Mesh might be a full-fledged dragon!

'That is an exciting concept.' -Gripton.

'Does it say anything about that in the stuff you found?'

'Found? I haven't found anything thing other than the same things said in different ways. Even as the god of this world, I can't make sense of this!' -Gripton.

'Well, it doesn't matter. It works the way I need it to.'

We stopped spinning, but I didn't let her go, but my stomach started to growl. I looked over Kadence's should and couldn't see the wagons anymore, so I pulled her away from me.

"Are you ready to go back? I'm starting to get hungry."

"Yeah, but how are we getting back?"

"Like this!"

I felt right now, as I scooped Kadence up and stood up straight. I gave my legs a quick stretch and a couple squats, then I started to run. I kept a steady pace at first, but this was already a speed that I would have was to be running full speed to reach. Kadence was smiling broadly as I ate up the distance.

Now that we were back on the path, I could see the wagons far ahead of us. Kadence asked me how fast I thought I could go, so I started to really dig into the ground. My feet tore up the ground as I started moving more quickly than a speeding car, and I was closing the distance to the wagon's fast.

"Want to try something?" Kadence yelled, but I just nodded.

At this speed, even in my heightened reactive state, I had to watch my footing to not trip and kill us both. I felt Kadence slip her arms behind me like she was about to give me a hug, but I never felt her arms wrap around me. Suddenly, we shot into the air, and I watched the ground get smaller as we got higher.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?"

Kadence just laughed; holding on to her was like trying to hold a rocket, and I thought I was going to drop her. Soon, I could barely see the wagon train, and we passed through some clouds and then slowed down just above one. I was holding on to Kadence for dear life at this point, and I was not impressed. Yes, I have flown on time on my own and other times with Trem, but that was different; I felt safe then, this was not safe.

"This isn't funny! What's the big ideas?"

"Isn't it beautiful up here?"

"Oh yes, so great; I mean, it would be IF I WAS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!"

"Don't you get magic from me evolving?"

"Oh? I guess so; let me try; maybe I don't have to use my hand this time? Maximus!"

Then I burst with light, and then Kadence screamed and flailed her arms, sending us spinning until I was flung into to open sky.

"FFFFUUUCCKKK…"
