Chapter Three
Sorry about not updating for a while. I do not own the Mortal Instruments
I dream of home that night. I dream of Mom, Dad, John, Izzy, Simon and everyone else in the village. In the dream they are all looking for me but every time I try and tell them I am right here they don't seem to notice or I can't get the words out. Then the whole village erupts in flames and everyone I love is screaming out in pain and it's all my fault. I jolt awake sobbing into the pillow under my head the pain of the dream still lingering and washing over me. But shock surpasses the pain. I didn't fall asleep on a pillow. I sit up quickly and look around I am in the same room I was in before but no longer under the bed but on top of it. I don't remember moving and am slightly disoriented by the whole thing. I take a better look and realise the room is extremely clean and has a dresser a bookshelf and a small seating area. Even though there isn't much in the room it is all very high end. I wonder whose room I am in but then Jace comes in with just a pair of shorts on. His chest is bare and I can see all the runes and scars from previous battles. His hair looks like a wet curly mop and he has an arrogant smirk on his face. I quickly hop out the bed and take a step away from him.
His arrogance fades and is replaced by a slight look of hurt but just as the emotion comes across his face it is replaced with a blankness. This Jace seems easier to deal with. No emotion means no guilt can come to me. I try and look for an escape route but "Adele" rings out through the air in a pleading tone. If his voice didn't make me want to run the fact he took a step closer to me does.
"Stay back." I snarl at him. "You almost had me believing in you lies you know that. I guessed I just hoped you wouldn't turn out to be a monster and liar like your father. But Sebastian brought out your real side and I will never believe you again." The whole time I spoke I tried to slowly inch toward the door. But seeing my plan he moves in front of the door blocking my only exit.
"I am never going to hurt you. I had to lie to Sebastian he would have took you away if he knew the truth. I'm sorry he hurt you." With every word he said he took a step closer to me and I took one back until the small of my back hit something and I was trapped.
"Stay away you liar. What is the truth Jace because I am confused? What am I to you? I'm not slave but you claim I am also not your slut. Don't fucking touch me." My voice was meant to come out strong and intimidating but instead it came out weak and fearful. But he kept on his steady approach and soon had his arms on either side of me locking me into place. He was so close I could feel the heat from his skin and breath.
He brought his head down and whispered right in my ear, "No I won't stay away." this caused a ripple to run through my body. Why is he doing this? My mind couldn't seem to get away from the idea that he was so close and his arms where brushing mine causing little amazing shocks to go through my body.
"Why am I even here if you aren't going to rape me?" I ask through shaky breaths just wanting for him to step away from me.
"Because Adele I want a friend not a slut and I don't want to hurt you." With every word his breath hit my skin and calmed me. "Please why don't we just try and be friends."
"Okay but on one condition you never let Sebastian near me again." I shiver at the thought of ever having to deal with that sleaze again.
"I promise I will do my best to keep Sebastian away from you. Why don't we have a seat and find out a little more about each other." He removed his arms and gestured to the seats in the middle of the room. I just nodded and took my place in a nice comfy chair.
