Hello I'm still here

Chapter 7 Bonding

(Jason's POV)

I stared at my angel in awe, her wing, the one I broke, were perfect, not a feather out of place! A cute giggle from my angel snapped me out of my thoughts. And I turned my head to look over at my angels face to see her hand over her mouth her shoulders shacked in silent laughter. I felt my face get hot and it confused me when she laughed at me my face got hot and I felt weird. It was strange when I was little and the bad kids laughed at me I only felt anger and embarrassment. The feeling she was giving me wasn't bad but it was very strange. Pushing that thought aside I walked forward, my hand outstretched. I reached out and moved my hand over my angel's wing. The feathers were still as soft as they had been before and as she moved them a little (pulling them in closer to her) I felt the muscles move under my fingers.

Mommy did you see that?! See this!? I asked softly.

Yes, her wings are as beautiful as she is. Aren't they?

I smiled behind my mask, Yes, Yes they are.

(Katarina's POV)

I watched as Jason ran his hands over my wings, it was strange here was a man that was considered a true monster in the eyes of so many and he was petting my wings so gently. It confused me to no end, along with the fact that I felt no threat when around him. Hmm, no use dwelling on the matter, I've spent my life relying on my instincts and I'm not about to quit now. I felt Jason's stop petting my wings and I turned to see his hand frozen on the spot and him staring of into space. I giggled to myself again and moved to wave my hand in front of his face. "Hello?"

Faster than I thought someone of his height could move his gaze snapped to mine and I smiled sheepishly up at him. "Um, not that I don't like it here can I go back to my cabin? I just need to go get my bag and then we can come right back here," I stated not moving my gaze from his.

Jason nodded and made to pick me up. I put my hands up, "Hey I can walk by my own power now."

Jason shook his head and swung me into his arms, he moved me so that I was sitting on his left arm. This made me have too wrapped my arms around his large neck and lean into him so that I didn't run the risk of falling out of his arms. I huffed and buried my head in the crook of his neck. I wasn't really keen on letting him carry me around everywhere, it made me feel useless, and I hated that feeling. Though I had to admit for a guy of his size Jason moved amazingly fast through the forest. I sighed and decided to start up a conversation with him. "You know that I could have walked by myself, you know," I murmured against his ear.

Jason shook his head and then used his free hand to point toward to direction of the road.

"Oh, you wanted to make sure I didn't leave?" a nodded was my answer. I giggle and Jason turned to look at me, a question in his eyes. "Jason even if I did try to run, which I wouldn't do, I'm positive you would catch me before I got within three feet of the road."

Jason stared at me long and hard be for pointing to my wings, making me chuckle. "My wings are going to be useless for a few weeks, at the moment they're as useless as if they were a costume prop."

Jason looked at me strangely, but never faltering in his stride. Excuse me dear, Mrs. Voorhees voice echoed through my head.

Yes, mam?

Jason and I are confused, wasn't what you did this morning supposed to heal you?

Oh, no it was made to take away the pain and allow me to move my wings as I please. When my wing is broken I'm earth bound for a few weeks, healing my wings completely isn't one of my special powers, it's my sister Clarabelle's power. I answered.

Mrs. Voorhees? I asked softly.

Yes, my dear?

Does Jason think I'm going to run away?

Well…yes my dear most girls do not take kindly to my sweet boy, came Mrs. Voorhees sad reply.

I pulled away from Jason shoulder and looked him clear in the eyes, "Jason," I said slowly, softly, "please put my down, I promise I won't run or try to escape."

Jason looked into my eyes making sure that I wasn't telling him a lie before he nodded and slowly set me down onto the forest floor. I looked up at Jason who stood towering over me and wrapped my arms around his waist in a hug. I felt him stiffen and for a moment I thought I might have made a bad decision, but then he relaxed and wrapped his arms around me as well. We stayed like that for a while before I finally pulled out of the huge, one hand wrapped in his much larger one, and the other over the center of mu chest. "Appear before me my soul amulet," I whispered and a white oval shaped stone rose from my chest hanging from a pure silver chain. Pulling my hand out of Jason's I took off my necklace and turned back to Jason.

"Jason could you please bend down," I asked as nicely as I could.

Jason nodded and bent down so that I could slip the long chain over his head. "I promise you Jason that I'll never leave you of my own free will and I give you my amulet as proof of my promise," I stated firmly smiling up at him.

Before I knew it Jason had swept me into a tight hug rubbing his face up against mine as I giggle. If I my ask Katarina, what is so special about that jewel? Mrs. Voorhees asked.

It's tied to my soul its powers draw me too it so l will always return to it no matter what. Jason pulled away a little so I could see his whole face. I smiled up at him, so even if I leave or am taken away as long as you have that amulet I will come back to you, Jason. It's yours now, Jason, whoever I give the amulet too its there's.

"So I hope you like me and it, because we'll be sticking around for a while," I announced with a smile.
