I'm so freaking sorry I haven't updated in so long! It's probably only been 4 days, but it felt like FOREVER. I took this much time because... uh... well, I've-sorta-watched-most-of-Glee-season-2-in-my-free-time-instead-of-working-on-this-so-um-yeah. That and because I had a one day event downtown.
Whoops.
I know the first reason's really crappy, so I'll hope you'll forgive me! Anywho, here's the loooong awaited chapter 4. And though the ending seems like it's the last chapter, it's not. There will be more in the future.
(And yes, I'm only on season 2 in Glee, people)
TEAGUE POV
"You are the one doing that. You're endangering your friends, not me." I shrugged. It was technically true, she was the daughter of a Grimm, and she started all of this in the first place. I turned away the memory of her, shimmering in her moonstone dress kissing me in that tower. She was a traitor and everything was her fault.
"That's an outright lie and you know it. You have been controlling me from the very beginning with your games."
Well, that part was also technically true... But it was what I did with all the other Grimms, and that girl just couldn't expect me to stop with her. "Mina, if you don't want to play my games, I'm okay with ending this here and now and moving on to the next Grimm." I paused for a dramatic effect, meeting her gaze. "Your brother."
I couldn't give up the curse with her. It was a curse after all, and all the Grimms were in charge of breaking it. It certainly couldn't end with one Wilhelmina Grimm, no matter how much I loved her.
Wait... What the-?! That's like the third freaking time I had those kind of thoughts about the Grimm since I've been here! I need to end this now, because who knows what might happen? If I stay around longer, Jared will break free, and I'll probably be kissing her... wait, no! Snap out of it Teague! I thought to myself. I turned around, angry, and tightened Mina's neck painfully with magic.
"N-n-no," Mina stuttered, struggling against the magic. Fear raced through her eyes. She couldn't breathe, couldn't inhale, and I saw Mina closing her eyes as if she were starting to black out. "Puh-please," Mina choked out.
"You're the only one who stands in my way!" I roared. Stupid Grimms and their stupid little lives. I liked watching Mina writhe under my power, but before I could do anything else, I heard the faint but clear voice that rang above us.
"Mina?" I think it was... Nancy? Nin? Isn't that... Oh yes, Nan. That flirty blonde who's impossible to escape from. "Mina, where are you?"
I turned to listen where the sound was coming from and if we should move. Since it required concentration, I released some of the pressure on the girl's throat unintentionally. I furrowed my eyebrows at the pathetic gasps for air and the round of coughing it set off.
Irritated that I lost my focus over a small thing, I moved away from Mina. Mina fell to her knees, hands on her heart, heavily breathing as she gathered her strength. "Pathetic," I taunted, staring up at the trickles of light that came from above. Police sirens increased in volume, coming to the scene. Wonder what was going on up there?
"Why don't you just kill me?" Mina stood up straight to challenge me, her hands splayed at her sides. She looked deadly, but I knew better. Right now, she probably wished looks could kill. I know because that look on her face has been on and off mine for the last 200 years.
"I keep wondering that myself." I turned around and clasped my hands around my back. Before I made a move, I wanted to ask her a question."What can you accomplish with no Grimoire to do all of your dirty work for you? You have nothing in your arsenal but a pretty face-" I paused for a moment. I wasn't sure if I really meant that or not, so I added, "and a lying one at that."
Well, at least Mina looked partially irritated. "Mina, are you down there?" This time it was Ever, who had either heard something or figured out that she'd gone down the manhole into the sewer. Ever's hand squeezed through the opening the light shone through. Both Mina and I glanced at it at the same time. She bit her lip, trying to figure out how to escape from little old me.
"I have enough to fight the likes of you," Mina challenged.
I sighed, "You're all talk, and I'm becoming bored. I'm done with you and your pretty little threats to stop me." I couldn't wait anymore. Her bark was worse than her bite and I needed that dagger now. I started walking towards her, hands aimed at her throat hidden under her infinity scarf.
Mina looked desperate, and from the looks of it, she was trying to harness Fae power. I started running towards her, afraid that I wouldn't make it in time, but it was too late. I suddenly flew across the room backwards and cracked my skull into the wall, going limp.
And that was the last thing I remembered.
Okay guys, give me 3 reviews and you get the next chapter. No reviews? No chapter. As soon as the 3rd review is posted, I will post the chapter the same day.
It's up to you.
