Stealing Your Fire (R)

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." - Albert Schweitzer


One very wealthy, handsome blonde by the name of Jon Ordell was out and about, trolling the New York City streets for company. Today, however, he wasn't only out for any girl. Jon had his eyes on a certain, special one. A girl by the name of Evelyn Fireheart.
He was watching her, and not very discreetly at all, while the picturesque example of femininity was shopping for clothes. Like most men, he had a highly vested interest in seeing this young woman with no clothes; though there was another purpose altogether behind stalking lovely Ms. Fireheart. She was the key. The one piece of leverage he could use to cut his greatest foes down to size. If he could send one careening over the edge of insanity; the other would be easier to topple. Then everything left to the twins' name would be unchallenged. His for the taking. Jon strategized that he would push the chaotic one first. The wind.
He approached Evelyn with a pearly-white smile, eyes alight with a certain confidence.
"Ms. Fireheart? Evelyn Fireheart?" Reaching out to her, Jon offered a friendly handshake. "It's so nice to finally meet you! I've heard so much about you!"

Eve had decided to go shopping,since her and Kas have been discussing about going to Italy this summer.She wanted to buy some new clothes...and lingerie.
Don't take her wrong.She jut wanted to spend some time with him,but who knew what that might lead to?So she should better be prepared.

She was dressed in a less egocentric outfit,making her seem weird,yet cute.
She was known to dress...pretty revealing,so this was a new thing.
She didn't want to attract any attention this time.
All the attention she needed,she had it.Kas was all she cared about.

But even if she tried not to draw attention,she heard someone call her name.A voice she didn't recognize.She turned to come face to face with a handsome young man.She had to say he was attractive,but he was nowhere near Kas.Not the slightest bit.
"It's so nice to finally meet you! I've heard so much about you!"
She looked at his offered hand,and slid hers into it slowly.
How had he heard much about her?And from who?
"Do I know you?",she kind of snapped at him.
She wasn't the type you could fool easily.

"I don't think so." Jon sounded delighted with Eve's tone of defiance. This was going to be more entertaining than he thought. "What I mean to say is, you don't know me, but I feel as if I know you."
At that moment, however, Eve would be getting to know an ugly trick many, many city girls had fallen for in the past. Jonas normally didn't even need to think of fake reasons to get a lady to follow him. One touch, and it was done. He could be anybody, from the way he looked. A high-school crush, a business correspondant, a Facebook friend.. He was approachable and easy on the eyes, as well as professional.

With skin contact initiated, Jon could transfer the chemical reaction that put him in the place of authority he held, as well as amassing quite a collection of female company.
'Slink' is what most of the useful people he kept around called him.. because that was seemingly how quickly and easily Jon could take over a person's will to resist.
A wave of numb euphoria coursed through Eve's mind as Jon held her hand.
It was unlike any drug, and somehow too similar. Like being drunk and stoned while rolling on X. It was narco-hypnosis having a baby with amnesia. Some people hated the feeling, and some were always coming back for more.. it was all simply a chemical-based reaction.

J0-N45 was made for getting people to open up and talk, without them really realizing or caring. Most humans would tell on themselves and give him anything he wanted to hear.
Who better to be an interrogator?

"I can't believe Kelly hasn't told you anything at all about me. He never shuts up about you."
Jon appeared a little disappointed and shrugged, waiting for Eve to try raising a question; if shit made sense and she could hear him, anyway.

"What I mean to say is, you don't know me, but I feel as if I know you."

That was the last thing Evee heard before her mind went crazy.
Her feelings changed.Her mind was thinking differently.Her whole self changed.
She could feel so many things right now.Things that only Kas could manage to make her feel..
Yet this man gave her more than this..
She had a need to be touched.Like he had managed to turn her on just with a simple touch.
Her mouth was dry..She couldn't talk.

"I can't believe Kelly hasn't told you anything at all about me. He never shuts up about you."

She heard the man talk,but she couldn't respond.Though when she heard the name Kelly,her eyes widened,and she pulled her hand back.
The feelings were slowly disappearing.He was controlling her somehow.
"Kas?You know him?",she asked curiously.
Who was that man and what was he doing to her?

"You could say that." Jonas sounded nearly offended. "We only went to the same school for twelve years." Shoving his sandy-colored hair out of his face, Jon was shaking his head at the apparent irony. "Do me a favor. You and I need to have a talk, Evelyn." He stepped over beside her, putting an arm around Eve's shoulders in a way that only looked comforting. Jon took her hand to direct her to a set of matching chairs nearby, holding onto her upper arm with a solid grip as if concerned she might lose her balance.
His touch was the worst kind of comfort. The numbness of a hazy contentment. Carefree bliss.
As long as the skin contact was maintained, at least.

Whenever Jon would let go, the feeling was gone; a sick, empty sort of longing much like a form of withdrawl symptoms would sweep in. Most became depressed, said they were cold, and some felt dizzy. A lonely ache, which some girls quickly dissolved into tears over, wondering how they were going to make it through the wave of poison turning through every vein, every nerve. Some even passed out at this low-tolerance point. Most couldn't even put up a fight, much less conversation.

Eve was ready to protest,but as soon as his hands touched her,the feeling came back,making her a little dizzy.
What was she doing?She didn't remember.The only thing she could do was nod and follow him towards the chairs.What could the man want from her?
She sat down next to him,enjoying the feeling of his hands around her.
She felt warm and safe.She didn't remember why she was here,but she didn't care,as far as she was with him.

She leaned her head against his arm sighing at the feeling.
"What do you need me for..?",she asked lost.
She couldn't understand that he was using her to kill the only person that loved her.
Her soul mate.And she was agreeing on helping him with that.

A moment later, Eve was sitting and Jon was next to her. Jonas was slightly surprised to see Eve was still getting a word in. Maybe not a coherent one, but she tried to pull herself out of that dreamy haze of total captivation.
"You'll see it all soon enough, poor little flower."
He patted her cheek in a condescending sort of affection.
Jonas smiled, waiting until a certain moment to finally break the contact and the reaction, sending brain-chemicals teetering off the other way trying to account for the imbalance.
Jon was slowly getting the lovely girl addicted. It was a process of giving her what she craved, and depriving her of it. A cruel game with anyone, though some humans simply seemed to overload and shut down, making eveything take longer.
"Kelly has a family. Making a new one isn't going to change that. He may think it's simple to bury the past and forget, but it's not going to be that easy.."

"Kelly has a family. Making a new one isn't going to change that. He may think it's simple to bury the past and forget, but it's not going to be that easy.."

Eve raised an eyebrow confused.What did the guy mean by that?
Was Kas married?Did he have children?
She blinked,still hypnotized by the guy.Though she had to know what he meant.
"W-What do you mean?Does he have a wife?And children?",she asked gulping down a lump in her throat.
What of Kas really had a family with another woman?Had he been using her all this time?
And she was ready to give him everything?

She gripped the chair,trying to keep calm.But how could she?
She loved him with everything she got.She even thought of buying a house for them so they could be alone and live like a real couple.
They had arranged a trip to Italy in May.But now everything was crumbling down.
He was hiding things from her.Too many things..She tried not to think about it but it was always there.Torturing her.
She looked at the man expectantly.She had to know the truth.

Jonas laughed at Eve's question. "What a nice idea! But no."
None of them could have that. Geo-tech made very sure of it.
"I'm only a cousin. We grew up together."
Jon was giving her the truth, of sorts. It wasn't as typical a family as she might think.
"Come with me, I'll be happy to clear it all up for you."
The thought was even more tempting, as Jon took Eve's hand to help her up, and that comfortable haziness started to move in again.
Most girls figured this contentment meant they were safe.
A common misconception.

Eve was glad Kas wasn't cheating on her.Yet,he really was hiding too many thing from her.
And love was based on telling the truth,but sometimes he didn't.For his own personal reasons he was keepin things from her.
But Eve felt cheated that way.Weren't they like together?Why didn't he trust her?

She nodded as the man told her to come with him,and she stood up,smiling a his touch.
All these feelings came back,and Kas was erased from her memory again.
He wasn't her everything..She was just hypnotized by the man's touch.
"Where are you taking me?",she asked,though she already fel safe with him.

"I have a penthouse suite." Jonas proudly stated. He had privilage upper executives were normally allowed. Jon was not, however. He, like the rest of the escaped subjects of Geo-tech were nobody. They didn't exist on public record. Their names were fake identities.
Jon remembered Kas very well, even though they hadn't seen each other in years before the blonde called his 'cousin' into his office some few weeks ago.
It was all an elaborate farce. He needed only one component out of the 'cure' he sent Kas into risk life and limb for. Mostly, he was out for revenge, and loving every minute of how deliciously his ideas were all coming together.
Kas was going to pay for leaving him to die.. and pay dearly.

"Careful, flower. You're playing a dangerous game, dating someone you don't know at all. But, I can help you there. I hear so much about you, so I assume it's only fair you should know about Kelly, and our childhood! Why wouldn't he tell you? Such a twisted sense of humor he has.." Jon sighed, pretending to understand how Eve felt, so filled with doubt and question.

"I have a penthouse suite."

Eve smirked at the statement and bit her lip.The drug in her was working.
She was hypnotized by him,just with one touch."A penthouse?Really?",she said with excitement.
Though the feeling in her changed again,making her want something more.
She walked closer to him so that their bodies were slightly touching

"Careful, flower. You're playing a dangerous game, dating someone you don't know at all. But, I can help you there. I hear so much about you, so I assume it's only fair you should know about Kelly, and our childhood! Why wouldn't he tell you? Such a twisted sense of humor he has.."

The words made her stare coldly at him.He was right..Why was he talking about her,when she didn't know about him?
Why hadn't he told her he still had a family?Was he afraid of her?
Eve's eyes turned sad,and she sighed.
"He keeps hurting me...but I love him.."
At that moment,her mind was only thinking about the negative things.She didn't think everything the went through together..That day at the club he saved her life..and she couldn't remember..

"You must be going through so much. I can't imagine how frightening it feels for you." Jon sounded concerned for Eve, as if she were a friend already.

Holding Eve's hand without lacing thier fingers, Jon lead them from the Victoria's Secret, which was about to close at nearly 9:30. The people hanging out were employees and thier friends, trying on outfits while taking pictures of each other and drinking the cold coffee from Starbucks.
One of the guys had been watching Eve look for clothes, and asked his friends about inviting her to go out to a club with them once they closed the store.

As Eve looked like she was getting ill and being escorted out by the blonde pretty-boy, a small group lingered at the door to deter them.
"Hey, what's the problem?" A thirty-something guy in mostly black with tattoos and skulls everywhere asked in a demanding tone, obviously trying to start shit with Jonas.

Eve was glad the man understood her.He was the only person that really felt for her.
He knew Kas and wanted to tell her everything about him..though she was afraid of what she might here.
Just a few seconds ago,she learned that he already had a family.
Not the kind she thought of..but still.

The man lead her towards the exit,when a man around his early thirties stopped them and asked them of there was a problem.She looked up at him and glared,as she saw him stare angrily at the blonde god next to her.
She stuck next to the man next to her and smirked coldly.
"Why don't you tell me if there's a problem..huh?

Jonas stopped in his tracks at the group, turning to the one man that spoke up. He looked slightly worried, though laughed quietly at Eve's question.
This girl had a sassy attitude. He was used to total compliance, no back-talking; just getting what he wants, when he wants it.

"Is this yuppie fag-boy bothering you?" The skull-man asked Eve, referring to Jon, who only laughed a little more, and proceeded toward the door.
Skull-guy reached out and grabbed Jon by the shoulder. Jon put a his hand on the other's, and smiled.
"It's not very nice to assume what you like about people. Maybe you should apologize and you and your friends move out of our way?"
The glassy-eyed look from the skull guy was a fair attestment to what was happening. There was a listless nod, and the man waved his company back. He opened his mouth to say something as Jon and Eve were leaving, but all that he could do was watch them with a sad sort of longing written on his face.
Evelyn and Jonas were free to walk out of the mall unhindered, and carry on thier conversation.

- at the same time elsewhere...

After dinner at the X-mansion, Kas had some work to get done.
Kas knew someone who would gladly take the keys to a twack-pusher's boat and give him enough to visit another aquaintence- who hooked him up with suitable tools for tomorrow's expected hassles.

The local branch MRD's Detention Center back at home was out-of-town.. In Area 51. It wasn't as laughable as the irony suggested, so he heard. Kas had thankfully never been caught and taken there. Given more than eighteen months between Vegas and LA, they could have managed a way to apprehend him. They got close once, and that was enough.

New York was supposed to be the start of something different. Though no matter how much he wanted to put aside the violence and inhumanity, it seemed the world had other plans.

Kas sighed and slowed the car to a stop at the side of the road as emergency vehicles passed. Fire, ambulance, and police flew by. He didn't think much of it, considering the commonality of all of this in the city.

Eve watched as Jon was talking with the guy.She would get in a fight if she had to,just to protect the blonde God next to her.
She bit her lip and waited,noticing that the man had now calmed down.
He waved for the rest of his crew to go and they did,leaving the three of them to stand there looking at each other.
Eve had a longing feeling towards Jon.She wanted him like a drug,though she had no idea why.

Kas had left her mind a while ago.Now Jon was everything she could think of.
He was everything she needed.Everything she had to have.
The man was ready to say something,but Jon decided to lead them away with nothing to say furthermore.
She followed him like a lost puppy,and leaned her head against his arms smiling.
"Are we going to be all alone at your penthouse?",she asked with a small smirk.

"Absolutely, flower." Jon outright admitted he planned on getting her alone, though he was so certain of already having won Eve over completely that he wasn't ashamed to hide it.
"We'll have all the time to ourselves you could ever want."
As soon as pesky Kas was out of the way, he would have the other's whole life.
His girl, his contacts, and his ability.

Jonas lead them out of the mall, smiling warmly and waving at the security standing at the door. He took them out into the parking lot, and to a black BMW. Jon flipped out a cell phone, and read a text from a contact named Roy.
'you got her? I'm starting'
Jon typed out a quick 'yes'
and opened the door to let Eve into the back, climbing in next to her. A tanned boy with chocolate hair and big aviator sunglasses despite the late hour sat in the driver's seat.
He drove them to Jon's home without a word.

In the back seat, Jon smiled amiably and touched Eve's cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind one ear to look at her face.
"Such a lovely creature, unlike any other. You should have been told the truth, and so much more. Only a coward would deny giving you what you deserve.. I can give you anything, everything."
And take only one tiny sacrifice in return.

When Eve heard that they were going to be all alone,a feeling for something more woke up.
A hidden passion and lust.She wanted him to touch her,the way Kas had never done.
Jon was different.He wasn't just handsome.
He was more than anyone could imagine.All these feelings inside her made her start burning.
She was on fire already.

Jon lead then towards a car.He texted someone but she didn't pay attention.
She just stayed there,leaning against his arm adoringly.
She wanted to spend as much time with him as possible.


"Such a lovely creature, unlike any other. You should have been told the truth, and so much more. Only a coward would deny giving you what you deserve.. I can give you anything, everything."

Eve leaned into his hand,looking into his eyes.That man..
She wanted to pleasure him.Give him everything.She didn't care about Kas.He had hurt her too much.But Jon,he was willing to give her what she asked..love..
She leaned in closer,and brushed her lips against his.
"I want you to give me everything..",she said.And she meant it.

Pleased with what he heard, Jon hooked his fingers on Eve's jawline and pulled her close, taking her lips in a posessive kiss, slipping tongue in and stealing her taste.
His hand trailed down her neck, coming to rest on her shoulder as he broke it off to smile, staying only a hair's bredth away from her.
"And I will, sweet flower. You have a promise."

Though in truth, Jonas was only interested in taking.
He wrapped a hand around the back of her neck, going in for another rough, almost forceful kiss. The kid driving didn't act like anything was out-of-place at all. Who knows how many girls he had to watch Jonas necking on through the rear-view.
A line-up of emergency vehicles passed by on the other side of the road as they slowed and pulled over for a moment. Jonas didn't so much as flinch at it. He knew what it was all about, and it only made him smile as he started to kiss Evelyn's throat, one hand quickly finding the buttons of her shirt and starting to undo each, his lips moving down to kiss and lick at her skin as more became exposed.
Jon figured he could go as far as he wanted, just as with any other. He could take practically anything he wanted, with only a touch. Hardly anyone, man or woman, ever fought him.

Eve was in heaven.His lips were soft,but his kisses were rough and demanding.
She was enjoying every minute of it.His lips trailing kisses down her neck while his hands were traveling all over her body.
The feeling was amazing.Though that awakened something in th back of her mind.
A feeling of guilt was forming.

He continued kissing further down,while unbuttoning her shirt.
Her bra was now visible,and she was exposed to him.
Emergency vehicles were passing past them,but Jon did nothing.
He continued pleasuring her,and she adored it.But the feeling of guilt was eating her mind.How could she do this to the man she loved?How could she forget...Kas?
She slightly pushed him back,and pushed herself further away,buttoning her shirt.
"I..can't do it..",she said.
Kas was like cold water hitting her face.She couldn't do that to him.
His image was stuck in her mind.Torturing her.

Astounded and in a way impressed, Jonas looked at Eve with mild amazement.
How was she able to resist? Was Kas really that important to her?

"You can't? Why not? Why commit to someone, when you don't even know who they are?"
Jon was still sure he was going to win, one way or another.
"Do you know where he was born? Who his parents are? If he has any brothers or sisters?"
Of course not.
"What about his past? Do you know what he did for a living? Do you even know why he came to New York City?"
Jonas shook his head, removing his hands and starting the downward spiral of deprovation from his euphoria-inducing touch.
"Not knowing these things could hurt you, flower. He's running from consequences of breaking the law. Alot of it. Including murder."

Eve heard Jon's word.They were stating out every mistake Kas made.
"You can't? Why not? Why commit to someone, when you don't even know who they are?"
She might not know who he was really,but she would like to learn and accept him.Because she loved him more than anything in her life.
"Do you know where he was born? Who his parents are? If he has any brothers or sisters?"
No,she had no idea where he was born,or if he had a family.But neither did Kas.He didn't know where she was born.What happened to her parents.To her.
"What about his past? Do you know what he did for a living? Do you even know why he came to New York City?"
She had no idea why he came here.But he didn't know either why she had come here.His past was a burned page.Somehing she couldn't ask.But Kas didn't know about hers either.Neither of them wanted their secrets revealed ,and it was understandable.
"Not knowing these things could hurt you, flower. He's running from consequences of breaking the law. Alot of it. Including murder."
Murder..
Eve looked up to meet his eyes.Hers were now cold and dark,anger building inside.
"Don't you dare talk to me about what'll hurt me!You say he has murdered someone..What makes you think I haven't?Huh?Stop accusing Kas.I don't want to hear you talk anymore!I love him..and that's it!"
And with that said,she pushed open the door,grabbed her things,and got out.

The car halted as soon as Eve opened the door, and Jonas followed Eve with a menacing look.
"I'm not accusing... I'm telling you the truth."
He didn't want to have to get rough with her. Jon was hoping for a pleasent evening, but now that was going to change. Eve's anger was burning off the chemical reaction too quickly.
Jon was just going to have to do things conventionally.

This didn't come as completely unexpected, however.
Jon poked the exotic boy driving the car, and the kid produced a small sunglasses case from his jacket. Inside were two prepared syringes of heavy-duty sedative. Palming one, Jonas stepped out after Eve and ran to catch up with her.
"I'm so sorry if the truth pains you."
He wasn't being very convincing here, for a change.

"I'm so sorry if the truth pains you."

Eve stopped walking and stood,her back turned to Jon.He was making her angrier with every comment he stated about Kas.
She didn't understand what was wrong with him.Jon had told her Kas was his cousin,so why would he accuse him of so many things?
He was claiming that he was telling the truth,but Eve didn't know.
Her head hurt like hell and her thoughts were all messed up.

She turned around to face Jon.For once he wasn't showing love.
He was looking at her coldly,and you could she the sarcasm ready to drip off of his lips.
The venom was there,but she couldn't see it.
"You care?Since when?",she asked raisin an eyebrow.
