Jack's P.O.V.
I blushed as I laid there on the facing Damien. He was sound asleep and he looked so peaceful. I raised a hand and brushed his hair back loving the softness of it between my fingers. It was way early in the morning and I knew I should get some sleep before I was supposed to get up but I didn't have chances like this very often. When Damien was awake he always had a kindness to him but he also carried a tired look in his eyes and seemed to frown more than he smiled lately. But when he was asleep he looked peaceful, like, there was no burden on his shoulders. He looked happy, happier than I have ever seen him awake.
It was moments like these I wish time would just stay still, times where I wish there wasn't a bad thing in the world going on just so I could see this peaceful look when he was awake.
Back at the beginning of school before we were betrayed Damien was always laughing and joking. He would tease me and joke about boys with the twins. He would tell Stevie Rae all the new gossip and help Zoey with her troubles. When I first met him I had felt my heart skip a beat and I felt myself stutter over my hello to them. When Damien asked me out I was so happy, happier than I had ever been. I always thought there was no way this guy could be gay, he could probably get anyone he wanted. But he chose me.
I turned over and closed my eyes. My mind was processing so many things but lately there was one thing I couldn't get out of my head. My death. Ever since we came here that scene had been playing over and over in my head. A shadow, a sword, and blood. So much blood. Damien saying good-bye as we went for a run. His pale face leaning over with tears falling from his eyes. He was saying something but I could hear what. And a song, a song that I heard in my head, a song that the Goddess was whispering in my heart.
Damien leaning down and a stinging pain on neck. Damien leaning down to kiss me and something warm and sweet filling my mouth causing me to swallow. Damien looking guilty and in pain. And then just darkness. Darkness was the only thing I could remember seeing for a long time. And then a voice telling me to wake up.
Damien had saved me. He closed the wound on my neck and gave me his blood to replenish my own. And in exchange a permanent connect between his mind to mine. He always knew where I was and if I was in pain. But the connection did not work both ways. I could not communicate with him unless he started it first and I never knew where he was or if he was hurt. Damien had not taken enough of my blood to finish the connection.
I didn't know if I was upset about that or not. I didn't mind that he always knew if I was in trouble or not. He stayed out of my mind, he didn't use the connection to track me. But somehow he always knew if I was hurt or in trouble. I asked him how he knew and he said that even though he doesn't use to connection to follow me he said he automatically feels any pain that I feel.
The only answer I never get is why he wouldn't drink my blood to finish the link, why I was the only one who had to drink his blood. He did it to save me but I don't understand why get's a terrified look if I bring it up. Slowly my eyes closed on their own and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
"Jack." a soft voice whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes and turned over. Damien was propped up on and elbow with his other hand messing around in my hair. "It's time to get up."
"Hmm?" I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes. I winced at the brightness pouring in through the window. "It's still weird to be awake in the morning,"
"Haha it is." Damien agreed watching me. "I have some sweats in the dresser, top drawer, that you can wear."
"Huh?" I said turning to look at him. He pointed over to the dresser, "This way you don't have to go all the way back to your room."
"You don't mind?" I asked as he stood up and dug out the clothes. He walked back over and smiled kissing me softly.
"Nope." he said standing up and walking into the bathroom. I stood up and quickly changed enjoying the warmth and softness of the clothes. They smelled like him and it gave me a strange sense of safety. "Hey Jac..." he said opening the door as a siren screeched through the Institution followed by a large shake.
The Institution was under attack.
Magnus' P.O.V.
I hated what I said to Alec but it was the truth. I couldn't stand our fighting anymore. If he couldn't trust me then there was no point to our relationship. I sank down on the couch petting Chairman Meow as he curled up on my chest. I was half expecting my phone to go off with a message from Alec. It was unusual not to be talking to Alec in some way and it tempted me to grab the phone and call him.
"Man I'm horrible at this silent treatment crap." I whispered to Chairman Meow. I already missed him. "And I can't exactly put all the blame on him either, I don't exactly give him much of a reason to trust me either. I never talk about my past, but I can't without him getting angry. It's like immortality has caused a rift to form between us. A rift we both let happen.
Suddenly my phone went off. The caller ID read Alec and I sighed debating on whether or not to answer it. I flipped the phone open and answered. "Alec..."
"We're under attack." he said in a pained voice. "I'm sorry I know you said not to ask for help but please hide the vampires. I'll make it up to you, I'll pay you somehow but please you have to get them out of here. The Institution is going to be completely destroyed soon we can't hold them off."
"Who?" I asked summoning a portal. "I'm on my way to help hold on...Alec?" The dial-tone was all that I heard. "Alec!" I yelled running through the portal flinching at the sight in front of me. The whole building was in blazes and the heat pouring off the flames made me feel like I was being suffocated. I ran around the building locating the vampires. Erin had Shawnee over one shoulder sending water blasts into the fire trying to get it to die down. She looked over at and screamed.
"Alec is still in there!" she cried as I got closer. "He went back in to get Zoey they trapped her. They're gone now but Alec and Zoey haven't come out yet."
I ran into the building before she finished. I had to find him, I had to.
I wouldn't let him die for one of these vampires.
Me: So here it is the next chapter. Short but most of my chapters are I'm sorry. Magnus will have a huge part in the next chapter and we may find out why he hates the House of Night vampires so much. Uh-oh.
