Chapter 14

Karl's POV
There was a knock on Julie's house and when I opened the door there were two people. A boy and a girl. "We have to talk to Julie's dad. Now!" They said.
"Um who are you?"
"Who are you?" The boy asked, in an authoritative voice.
"I'm Karl."
"I'm Kimi and this is my twin Keme." The girl said, glaring at her brother. "We have to talk to Julie's dad immediately."

"Fine. He's in the living room." I said. They brushed past me and hurried into the room.
"They've gone. They're starting the fight." I heard the boy tell Julie's dad.
"What? Today? Why didn't anyone tell me? You should have let me see her one more time! Just in case. What if..what if.. what if Julie dies?"
I rushed into the room. "WHAT?"
"Uhh... uhhh.." Julie's dad stammered on words. I turned to Keme and Kimi.

"Where is Julie?" When they said nothing, I shouted. "TELL ME! I know about her being part elf or whatever! Now tell me what the heck is going on! If my girlfriend dies I have a right to know what the heck happened to her!"
"She and two other elves are fighting the two most powerful elves that have ever lived. Sam and Thane. We know nothing about Sam and Thane except that they have been slowly killing off all the elves in order to eventually rule the world."

"They're the two that killed Julie's mother." Her dad said. I sank onto the couch.
"Why did you guys let her? She could die!"
"It was her choice! We didn't force her to do that." Kimi said, sitting next to me.
"So what do we do? Just sit here and wait?" When they nodded, I jumped up. "I can't do that! I can't just wait here, wondering if my girlfriend is dying or not?"
 "Well too bad!" Keme stood up as well. "You don't know where she is and we aren't going to tell you." I turned to punch him. That guy was really getting on my nerves. But just before I could punch him, his twin dove onto my back, tackling me to the ground.

"Don't you dare hit my brother!" She growled. Her eyes flashed, angrily.
"Then tell me where my girlfriend is!" I pushed her off me and stood up. Keme ran over and pulled his sister up off the ground.

"We can't!" Kimi said, dusting herself off. "We can't tell you because it's too dangerous for a human! You could get hurt or killed. Julie knows what she's doing. She's been training for this for a while now. You being there would only hurt her." She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket. "Here. I wasn't supposed to give you this unless Julie dies but since your being such a pain, read it."

I unfolded the letter and read it silently.
"Karl, if you're reading this, then either I'm dead, or Kimi gave it to you early. Let's hope she just gave it to you early. But if I am dead right now, I just want you to know I love you. I guess I should tell you a little more about what was going on. My dad took me to Alegria, to the elves. So that I could learn about my powers. I have learned and I've grown much more powerful than I ever thought I could be. I've also found out that I can put a stop to Sam and Thane. Sam and Thane are killing all the elves. I need you to know that if I didn't try to stop them, eventually I would be killed.

So either way I would die. If I try my hardest to stop them, then at least I know I tried. I refuse to be a coward and hide from them the rest of my life. Karl, I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll always love you. But since your reading this, and since I'm dead, I want you to know that I want you to move on. I don't want you grieving over me for the rest of my life. I want you to find a beautiful girl, and get married and have beautiful kids. But I don't want you to forget me. I want you to remember me, in the back of your mind, and in part of your heart. Forever. I'm so glad I got to know you, and found out that you aren't Kade. I'm so glad that we have memories together. Thank you so much for everything. I love you forever and always. Julie."

Julie's POV
"Hey dad, come here for a second." Sam called out from his bedroom. Thane walked out of his own room, grumbling to himself. The second he walked through Sam's door, Adana, Amiri and I rushed across the hall into Thane's room to prepare our ambush. It didn't take long before Thane and Sam walked back into Thane's room.

"I still don't get what you're trying to say Sam." Thane was saying just before Amiri used her wind power to shut the door. Thane looked around nervously. But saw nothing. Adana lifted her hand and moved a rock around the room. Thane stared at it, his eyes only moving when the rock did. "What the heck?" He stepped towards the rock and Adana lifted it. Amiri made wind smash the rock into Thane's face repeatedly. Thane stumbled around, trying to get the rock off his face. I lit a fire under his feet. He started hollering, trying to get his feet unlit, but I kept the fire going. "SAM HELP!"

"Ahh I don't think so." Sam said, smiling as he leaned against a wall.
I stepped out of the shadows. "Hello Thane. I'm Julie. That fire looks pretty hot. Do you need some help putting it out?" I smiled, and held up my hand, making the fire bigger. Adana and Amiri both walked out then, with evil smiles.

"Hello Thane. We know your powerless. Give up yet?" Adana asked.
"Never!"
"That's too bad." Sam held up his hands.

"No you wouldn't!" Thane howled when Sam started slowly crushing Thane's hand. I could tell it hurt him to hurt his father, but he didn't let that stop him. Thane growled and grumbled, but didn't give in, so Sam slowly moved up the arm, and I brought the fire up, until, when Sam finally got to the elbow, and I got the fire to his knees, Thane caved. "OKAY! Okay!" He shouted through his clenched teeth. "I give in!" I stopped the fire and Sam put his hands down.

"Turn around." Sam said, calmly. Thane did so and Sam got some rope and tied him up. "Alright. Now what?"
"Now we bring him to the human world. He's on the most wanted list for several murders." Amiri said with a smirk. "And since he's powerless, they'll be able to take care of him."

Karl's POV
Sitting on the couch, waiting patiently, time seemed to go by so slowly before the door opened and Julie walked through with two women and a boy. Her eyes had a glow to them that I'd never seen before. She ran to hug us. First her dad, and then me. After throwing her arms around me, she pressed her lips to mine and we kissed. She was really enthusiastic about, and we were pulling each other closer, until her dad cleared his throat. She pulled back, blushing slightly, before going over to hug her dad again. "I missed you guys, so much."

"I missed you too." Her dad said, gruffly, but with a small smile. "A lot."
"Well, dad, you already know, but Karl, this is Adana and Amiri." She turned to the boy after gesturing towards the women. She took his arm and pulled him forward. "And this is Sam."
"What?" Her dad turned and glared at the teen, who put his hands behind his back and hung his head.

"He's sorry. Thane was making him do things when he didn't want to. But he wasn't the one who killed mom." Julie told him, speaking softly. After a few seconds her dad stuck out his hand and shook hands with Sam.

I didn't like him. Maybe it was just the way he looked at Julie, but I was sort of jealous and I didn't like the kid. I reached out and took Julie's hand, pulling her close to me, to make sure that the Sam kid knew that she was mine. "I'm so glad you're okay babe." I muttered, kissing her softly. She blushed and glanced over at her dad who was talking to Adana and Amiri about how the fight had gone.

Julie's POV
Karl had to go, his parents wanted to talk to him and he had told them he would have dinner with them. And dad had to leave for work suddenly, so I was alone with Sam, Kimi, Keme, Adana and Amiri. Dad had said that Sam could live with us until it was decided what would happen to him. A few minutes after dad left, Adana, Amiri, Kimi and Keme had to go to rally up any hiding elves and let them know it was all over, so they could fix up their world. Sam stayed because Adana thought it would be best if the others didn't know about him just yet.

"You hungry? I'm going to cook dinner." I said, standing up and walking to the kitchen.
"Yeah, do you need any help cooking?" He asked, following me into the kitchen. I turned and saw him looking at the fridge, with a confused look on his face.
"Sam, what are you doing?"
"Just trying to figure out what that is." He said, like it was obvious.
"It's a refrigerator."
"Oh." He was obviously still confused. So I opened one of the doors.

"We keep food in it, food that has to stay cold, like milk and butter, and anything that we don't want to go bad."
"Oh! That's cool. What's that?" He pointed to the oven.
"Um that's an oven. We cook in it. Or on it. Either one, depending on what we cook."
"Wow! That's really cool. Can you show me how it works? And what's that?" He pointed to the microwave. After explaining most of the things in the kitchen, I decided that the best way to explain would be to show. So we popped microwave-able popcorn, cooked a pan of lasagna in the oven, and then some fudge on the stove. And we drank milk that came out of the refrigerator.

Later that night, we were sitting on the couch, talking and he looked over at the television. "What's that box?"
"It's a t.v.. A television." I took the remote control and pressed the power button. "And this remote control can control the television." I handed him the remote and he started pressing buttons. I almost laughed at the excited look on his face as he flipped through channels, and turned the volume up and down.
"That is the coolest thing you have shown me so far!" He sounded so excited, I couldn't help it, I laughed. "What's funny?" He asked, confused.

"Well, it's just that you're so excited over things that I've known my whole life. It's just sorta funny to see someone who's never ever seen any of these things before."
"Oh. Okay." He smiled at me and I smiled back. "You have really pretty eyes." "Oh thanks." I chuckled. "You wanna watch some TV? Maybe we can find a good show to watch." I suggested.

"Sure." He nodded and I scrolled through the channels. Nothing was on so I let him pick a movie. He chose a DVD that my dad loved, The Beverly HillBilly's. I didn't extremely like it, but I didn't hate it. It was funny at times. So I put it in and played the first episode. We watched it and laughed.

Someone knocked on the door, halfway through the second episode. Still laughing, I got up and walked over to the door. I opened it and saw Karl. I let him in and kissed him quickly. "How was your family dinner?"

"It pretty much sucked. My mom and dad just wanted to try to convince me to get myself famous as Karl. I told them no and to leave me alone. Maybe someday they'll stop pressuring me to be famous and I'll be able to actually have family time with them. But for now, I just want to forget about them." He pulled me close and covered my lips with his. "I love you so much babe." He muttered as his hands slid around my waist, crushing me against him. I wound my arms around his neck, kissing him back, eagerly. His lips moved against mine and I felt his tongue on my lips. I opened my mouth, letting his tongue brush mine.

I backed up slowly, until I hit the wall, pulling him with me, our mouths moving together until I heard the tv change channels and I remembered that Sam was in the other room. I pulled my head back, breathless.
"Uhm, Sam's here." I told him. "He's going to be living here until we find out what to do with him. He's never been in the human world before, so we can't leave him alone."

"He's LIVING here?" His face turned red and he glared at me.
"What's wrong?" I asked, confused.
"That guy is living here? In the same house as you?"

"Yeah... And... he needs a place to go. I couldn't just leave him alone."
 His face softened and his face turned a normal color. "I understand... it's just that... I guess I'm sort of jealous that he gets to be here with you and I don't." He flushed as he said that and I wrapped my arms around him. His arms came around me and he pulled me close to him. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too. A lot. I really wanted to tell you everything but I couldn't and I didn't get much chances to write to you."
His hands moved from around my waist to my chin and he tilted my head up to brush his lips against mine. I felt sparks shoot through me and I shivered slightly. He pulled back for a brief second before out lips met again. My arms were around his waist and his hands were cupping my face. I pulled back, remembering Sam again. "Come on. Let's go talk to Sam. He's probably lonely." I took Karl's hand and we walked into the living room. We sat down together on the couch, me in the middle of the two boys.
