Enjoy ;P
Alec's P.O.V.
"Alec we've received some important news." Maryse said sternly. "It appears neither Neferet nor Camille are no longer in New York City. They appear to be operating elsewhere but we can't find where exactly."
"Then what do you want us to do?" I asked folding my arms.
"I want you to be careful when you go out." Maryse said with a sigh. "Whether you're with the vampires or not those two will know you're helping the house of night vampires and will attempt to get you out of the way."
"Very well." I said standing up from the seat I was in. "How do want us to find them?"
"If Magnus is willing to help search for Camille then we'll find Neferet." Maryse said. I looked down, I don't know if Magnus would be willing to help us, after what I said to him I'd understand why he wouldn't. "They are most likely going to be together."
"I will speak to Magnus but I'm not sure if he will be able to." I told her as she nodded that I may go. I walked out the door and into the elevator, leaning against the wall I put my head in my hands. There is no way Magnus would help us, and after what I said to him why should he? The elevator clanged and I got off and made my way outside. Magnus should be home right now. But that didn't mean he was gonna be alone. This was the time Magnus got swamped with customers.
"Man what do I do?" I asked quietly to myself. "I doubt he'll help us, he didn't seem too happy about being around the vampires either.
"Alec?" a voice said behind me. I turned around, Magnus was standing behind me his hands shoved into his pockets. "What are you doing?"
"Oh...ummm." I said blushing, man I sounded stupid. "Well I came looking for you..." I told him quietly.
"Oh?" Magnus said narrowing his eyes. "Why need my help already?"
"Maryse does." I said truthfully. "But that's not why I was looking for you."
"Oh and why are looking for me if not for help?" he said coldly.
"I wanted to apologize." I said looking down. "I was rude for saying what I did. And I'm sorry. I honestly didn't mean it that way but that's no excuse for saying it."
"No it's not an excuse." he said and I winced, he still sounded angry. "You always do this Alec. You get mad at me about everything. And then when you need something you come back and apologize."
"I-I told I wasn't hear about that." I said trying to stay calm. "You asked and I answered but I also told you that's not why I wanted to see you."
"No but you had to use that as an excuse to come see me." Magnus said pointedly. I hesitated, that was true. I was hesitant about seeing him to apologize and mom asking me to do this was just what I needed.
"I-I..." I stopped and looked down. A lot of people where staring at us but I paid no attention to them. This was all a mess just because I had to be stupid and run my mouth without thinking. "I'm sorry."
"I don't believe you anymore." Magnus said quietly. "You always say you're sorry but then you go and get angry again and again. If you were really sorry then you wouldn't have done it begin with."
"Magnus..." I said but he just walked past me.
"Go home." he said gently. "I can't help you. I'm not mad either, but you need to figure out where you stand in this relationship if you can't trust me then this won't be able to work out."
"I do..." I said turning around but he already was walking away. "Magnus...I do trust you."

amien's P.O.V.
My head was starting to hurt again. My throat was too, it was getting harder and harder to be around the others. Especially when I had to use my powers. It makes me hungry again in a shorter amount of time than usual. I looked through all the books but nothing says of a way to cure this. If this continued I wouldn't be able to be around Jack anymore. And I've already been pushing him away as it is and he's noticed. I wish I knew how to explain this to him but I couldn't. I didn't know how to explain to him that the way he took what Aphrodite said wasn't the right way.
**Knock knock**
"Come in." I said not bothering to check who it was. I kept my eyes shut as the door creaked open.
"Damien?" a soft voice and my eyes shot open and I looked over. Jack walked in and shut the door behind him quietly and leaned against the door and looked down at the floor. I sat up on my bed and looked at him.
"Jack?" I said scratching the back of my head. "Hey, uh, is something wrong?"
"I just came to see if you were ok." Jack mumbled. "I'm sorry we didn't come to help you fight like I said we were. We got attacked shortly after I told you that and by the time we were done your guys fight was already over."
"It's alright I figured it was something like that." I said standing up. This was really awkward, neither one of us could look at each other. "Ummm Jack look can, we...talk."
He stiffened a little and nodded. I sighed and sat on the bed. "You can sit down if you want." I said gesturing to the spot beside me but he just shook his head. "Jack...I-I just wanted to apologize for how I've been acting. I know I've been pushing you away and I'm sorry. I just, it's hard right now because of this hunger. I, I really do want to be around you but I become so afraid." I told him putting my head in my hands. "I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd be upset but I should have told you from the beginning. When I'm around I just get hungry and then I get really bad thoughts and then I become afraid that I'm going to hurt, sometimes the hunger becomes so overwhelming that I almost do. It terrifies me that I won't be able to stop myself. Ever since I tasted your blood when I saved you I've been craving it. Almost to the point where it's the only thing I want. And it makes me sick when I think that way."
"I don't understand." Jack said quietly his shoulders shaking. I stood up, did I scare him, is he going to run away now? "Why didn't you tell me? I thought you hated me! I thought you didn't want me anymore now that you became a vampire. Why didn't you tell me I was hurting you?!" he cried turning to open the door. I crossed the room quickly and pushed against the door to keep it shut.
"I didn't tell you because I knew you would do this." I told him closing my eyes. "You leave and I wouldn't be able to live if I saw you walk away because of me." I turned him around and tilted his head up. "Jack if there's one thing I can't live with it's being separated from you. I can't live without your blood after awhile I'll get used to the hunger but I didn't know how to explain it to you. I'm sorry, I didn't handle this right and I just made a mess of everything. Please don't leave me. I'm sorry I'll do whatever to make it up to you but please don't leave me."
"I don't know if I could." Jack said crying into my chest. "I think...I'd be able to leave if you didn't want me or if I was hurting you. But I don't think I'd be able to live if I did. I'd die, even if I saw you every day, just knowing that you didn't want me anymore, I wouldn't be able to live with that."
"Don't say that." I told him hugging him tightly to me. "I don't want you to die because of me. I'm never going to not want you. So don't go anywhere. I trust you more than I do anyone else."
too be continued...
Me: Alright so here it is. It's not exactly exciting more of one of those cheesy romantic chapters I write every now and then but this is just me easing back into this story and getting back onto track with it. The next chapter will have more action in it. And if all goes according to plan then next chapter will be up January 20th. I've all my stories orgainzed into my calender on my phone so that I'll get alerts as to when a story is due so that will hopefully keep me on track.
Later ;P
