Sorry for the wait. I have nothing else to say but Here you go and hope you like it.
I ran down the streets as fast as I could to get to get to Jace as fast as possible. Feeling anxious and concerned from the second the message came. I could also feel Magnus staying close. He wouldn't let me go unless I let him come with. Keeping his distance of course.
I would have waved it off saying that he worries too much but It's Jace and I was currently worried as hell. There was only one thing he could have done and I was hoping with everything in me that I was wrong. Because otherwise we are toast. Completely toast. He can't be that stupid can he?
"What the hell did you do?" I was asking even before I got into the building we were currently staying at.
But the second I did I froze in my tracks. My eyes resting on one of my worst nightmares.
Yes. He is that stupid.
There she was. The red-haired girl Jace has been obsessed with. She was sitting on a couch next to Jace with a blanket thrown over her as they talked. But all talking seized when they saw me.
Jace quickly stood up and got in front of the girl in an almost defensive stance, wings getting outstretched slightly out of reflex.
I sighed at seeing this. Does he really think I would do something to her?
I just didn't want him to have a life I have. A life of secrets and hiding and fears. So many fears and so many sleepless nights. I didn't want that. I don't want that for anyone let alone Jace. And I was hoping, no matter how vague that hope was that he will be smart enough to stay away. Smart enough to not interfere.
I guess it's too late now.
I passed a hand through my hair in frustration and took a few deep breaths before calming down enough to actually talk and not yell.
"You have two minutes." I said slowly, staring right into his gold eyes.
"I'm sorry okay. She was attacked by a vampire. What was I supposed to do? Just stand back and watch him drain the life out of her? Wait enough to be completely sure 'she's being harmed' and call for the council? It's all bullshit. I couldn't watch her die okay. I couldn't. So please just…Help me." He looked at her fondly over his shoulder and seeing him look at her like that would have been explanation enough.
I know that look way too well. I have that look every time I'm with Magnus. I see it on Magnus's face every time he makes me smile. I know it. I was just hoping I would never see the day to see it on him. Not like this.
I sighed again and walked closer. Looking at Jace expectantly as I got to him to what he reluctantly stepped sideways. Leaving me face to face with the girl that looked pretty held together for someone who lived through so many shocks in so little time. I can only imagine what happened to that vampire and it isn't pretty. Angry Jace isn't someone you want to mess with.
I looked her over before reaching and touching her arm. She flinched from the touch but I just held on tighter, closing my eyes in a second of concentration before opening my eyes again and groaning at what I saw.
It was white. Barely there. But still visible if you know what to look for.
"Jace. Kissing her wasn't needed to save her." I said slowly as I moved to glare at him. "You left your mark on her. Not a complete mark but a beginning of one. That can't be undone and you know that."
"I know. And I'm not sorry for doing it but I don't want her getting hurt. They will hurt her and they will cast me away. Make me fall. Please I need help to get out of this before they see. Before it gets out of control. You are the only one I could call. I don't know what to do."
"Okay I know. I know. Just let me think." I asked and finally let go of her. "I don't suppose you can live with never seeing her again?" I asked with no hope for it what so ever.
"You're kidding right? I just got her."
I thought so. I thought fighting off another sigh, looking back down at her again. Noticing for the first time that she hasn't said anything since I came in. It wasn't until that hit me that something else hit me to. One thing that can maybe solve all the problems. No, not a thing. A person. A person that was we speak. But am I willing to risk it?
I looked from one to the other. They just got together. I can't just break them apart. I can't. I know how much it hurts.
I took a deep shaky breath before speaking. "Do you trust me?"
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
Sorry for the shortness and over all suckiness of the chapter. It's late and I'm supposed to be doing my homework for tomorrow but I promised you guys to post at least once a week so I had to. I really hope you liked it regardless.
Please review my lovelies.
