Hey another update! Thank you guys so much for the reviews. I might update again later tonight because I'll be gone all weekend.. depends if I get another chapter written. I have a lot of the story already done, but I want to stay ahead of my updates. Thanks again for reading guys!:)
Minas heart started racing. "What kind of problem? Are you guys okay? Charlie? My friends? Mei what's going on?"
"We were just informed that the prince, he's here on the human plane!" Mei exclaimed. Minas heart rate started to slow. Did she really forget to tell them that she has been going to school with him for the last week?
"Oh.." Is all Mina could get out. "About that, yeah, well you see.. He- uh- actually has been coming to school lately." She braced herself for the lecture from her mother and the brownie.
"WHAT?" they both said simultaneously.
"I guess it kind of slipped out of my mind," Mina said innocently.
"What could possibly be more important than the fact that the boy that has been trying to kill your family for years is at your school. Probably trying to figure out a way to kill YOU, Mina!" Sara cried.
"Homework.. the dance." Mina lied. She didn't really care much about those things but she just needed to make up an excuse fast. "Anything else?" Mina asked hopeful that that would be the only thing.
"Not exactly, someone stole the seam ripper."
That's it? Mina thought to herself. "It's probably just Ever." Mina said as she remembered her drawing circles into the air with it. "Or Teague."
"It's more serious than you think, Mina." Mei explained. "The more its used the longer it takes for the gates to close. If used too many times, an eternal gate will be created for all Fae, including Reapers, to get through. May I mention that the gate will be within a few miles radius from where you live." Sara looked at Mei with worry. "The Fae want you dead, Mina. Can't you see what problems can arise from this?"
"Yeah, I do. I'll try to talk to Ever on Monday, emphasis on TRY."
Mina was flooded with fatigue so she went to bed a little earlier than usual. She was brushing her teeth when she heard something fall in her bedroom. She spit out the toothpaste and ran to her room to investigate. She saw Teague standing in her room. Strangely she didn't feel too threatened. He was wearing basketball shorts, a nike pull over, and roshes. "You look.. different." Mina said noticing his strange attire. "How did you get in here anyways?" She had Magical defenses protecting against Fae around her house.
"Jared was let in so technically-"
"You can come in" Mina finished his sentence. It took her a couple seconds to realize TEAGUE was standing in the middle of HER room in the middle of the night. She started to back away.
"Don't. I'm not here to hurt you." Mina was taken aback by his comment. Why is he here? She wished her mom would walk into her room which would force Teague to leave. "Do you miss that little roof of yours?" Is he seriously trying to make a conversation with me right now.
Mina shrugged, "Yeah, but you know, setting the whole place on fire didn't give me much of an option to stay there. Besides, this house is much safer for my family and me.. at least I thought it was." She said referring to the boy standing in her room. Mina went to sit on her bed with a pink ombre duvet. "What ARE your doing here?" She asked him accusingly.
"Well, I was thinking, since you probably wont get a date to the dance, uh we should go together. You know, as friends?" There was a slight bit of question in his voice.
The nerve of him! Coming into my room assuming I don't have a date, assuming we are friends! Mina's anger flourished. "For one. Me and you? We are not friends. You live your life trying to make me miserable, trying to KILL me. You are not a nice person."
"I helped your friend Nan in the meeting." He tried to defend himself.
"Yes and I thank you for that. I'm sorry for not letting one kind gesture block all of the awful things you've done to my family over the last century." She said sarcastically. "And someone has already asked me, thank you very much."
Teague froze, "Asked you? Who? Your grandpa?" he started laughing.
"No he wouldn't be able to take me, but, hey, you already knew that." She shot back at him. "And just to let you know, I said yes."
Teague frowned. "Who?"
She pushed back his hair the way he did to her the other day and said, "I guess we will find out." She smirked and looked into his eyes, but they weren't the normal icy blue. They were stormy grey. Mina froze "Jared?" she said as she blinked, but he was already gone.
