She had been planning to leave for awhile now, subconsciously, she just didn't know when or how. Once she had composed herself, she started towards her room to pack. As Jocelyn passed Jonathan's room, she froze. She knew know what he had done to him, their only child. He had made him a monster, a demon. But, if he had demon blood in him, didn't that make him a Downworlder of sort? She smiled despite herself; Valentine, among other things, was a hypocrite. She wouldn't miss the part of her son that was a monster, but she would miss the son she never got a chance to know, to love. Jocelyn shook her head to clear it, then continued on her way.
She knew she had to hurry, Valentine could be home any second, though she doubted it. It seemed that he lately had no feelings, but she knew that he used to feel emotions very severely, especially anger. Small annoyances could easily turn into full blown rage in a matter of seconds, and it usually took him hours to cool down from these incidents. She took every belonging she had, in case he tried to track her. Hopefully by that time she would be too far away for it to matter.
While she was packing, she kept feeling waves of nausea, but she tried not to focus on that too much. Valentine had told her many times that her feelings got into the way too much, so she wouldn't let them now. As if in a trance, she placed her bag on her shoulder, and left the place that she had been happy in for so long. The place that now made her so miserable. She didn't know where she was going, but she sure wasn't going to stay there.
Luke, she had to find Luke. Once Valentine realized she was gone, Luke would be the first person he would go after. She had to warn him. She race do the nearest wall, and started making a portal. Once she saw its swirling purple patterns, she visualized Luke, his brown hair, his steady blue eyes, his kind smile. She stepped forward, and felt the strange sensation of being transported through space, towards the unknown. It was better, she thought, than being trapped in an all too familiar place that had become foreign to you seemingly overnight.
