CPOV:
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I rolled over and looked at the time, 10:30. Great… I looked over at the list on my bedside table, Jane's list, the list the ritual list. I quickly showered and got dressed. When I got downstairs Jane and Eddie were in the kitchen eating breakfast, Tasha and Dimitri were outside arguing.
"Morning Lord Ozera, would you like some pancakes?" Jane asked me while looking down, she looks scared. I wish I didn't have to do this; then again there are a lot of things that I wish never happened.
"Yes please, do you guys know what Tasha and Dimitri are fighting about?" I asked while taking a mouth full of pancake.
"Not a clue, so Christian what do you want to do today?" Eddie asked me while looking at Jane. I wonder if there's anything going on between them…
"I have to go pick up some items at the store, and then feeders, then we can do whatever we want." I replied looking down while thinking back to the list that is burning a hole in my pocket. Eddie nodded and we all went back to eating. It was really quiet, other than Tasha and Dimitri's argument; and that's when it happened.
"STIRGOI!" Dimitri screamed pulling out his stake and pushing Tasha into the house; Eddie grabbed his stake and walked with us outside. There were at least four of them, but I'm not sure because it's getting dark. I felt Jane hold on to the back of my shirt, using our fire magic Tasha and I helped Eddie and Dimitri kill them. One slipped past the guardians and came charging at us, Jane screamed, Tasha and I put up a wall of fire around us, while sending fireballs at the strigoi. Eddie came up behind it and staked it.
"Are you guys ok?" Dimitri asked while wiping his stake off. Jane, who was clearly freaked out was holding onto my shirt, her face in my chest.
"I – I – I'm fine." She whispered, I picked her up and carried her to the living room; I set her down and ran upstairs to change into pjs. When I walked downstairs Jane was still sitting on the couch.
"Jane you wanna go into your room?" I asked she nodded barely. So I picked her up again and brought her to her room. I pulled out some pjs for her and just as I was about to turn around she grabbed my hand and whispered help me. So that's what I did, I helped her out of her clothes and into the fresh ones. I put her under the covers and was about to leave when she spoke.
"Christian will you stay with me tonight?" I nodded in response and lied on top of the covers. "You can come under if you want." So I did, the second I was comfy she was in my arms. It took me a moment to realize that she was crying.
"Jane are you ok?" I asked softly.
"I'm fine, can you just hold me, please." She whispered snuggling closer into me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and that is how I fell asleep that night; with a smile on my face, and Jane in my arms.
EPOV:
I can't believe that bastard. Holding her while she sleeps, that should be me! No, Eddie stop it, Jane isn't yours to get jealous over. Still I wish it was me holding her.
"Are the wards back up?" Dimitri asked, I nodded putting my guardian mask on.
"How is Tasha? Christian and Jane are good." I asked wanting nothing more than to go to the gym and beat the shit out of a punching bag.
"Tasha is sleeping." He replied curtly while excusing himself to go upstairs. After I heard the door close I ran to the gym and started destroying the bag. It's funny, I just got out of a fight and I'm jumping at this chance to punch something.
~~~~~~~ 2 hours later ~~~~~~~~~~~
I was still so angry, still taking out my emotions on a bag that I barely heard the door open.
"Eddie is that you?" Jane whispered from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah, Jane what are you doing down here?" I asked as she walked down the stairs, I took in every inch of her. She was wearing short shorts, and a tank top, her hairs a mess, but she couldn't have looked better.
"I got up to get some water and I heard something so I came to investigate." She replied moving closer to me. "What are you doing down here?"
"Working out." I replied stiffly, all I could think about was the fact that Christian was upstairs sleeping in her bed. "I'm gonna go to bed now, goodnight."
"Goodnight Eddie." Jane replied turning and walking towards her room, where Christian was waiting. Why was it Christian? Why not me? Eddie shut up, you're talking to yourself, and she isn't yours to be jealous over. She probably never will, I mean if she had to chose, me or Christian, dhampir or moroi. Jane would probably choose him.
Hey everyone!
