"What did the council have to say?" I was wringing my hair dry with a towel, as Cassian wrapped through on a t-shirt and some jeans.
"They are being indecisive as usual." He said as he kissed me lightly on the forehead. "I'm starving."
"Don't change the subject." I wined at him, as I followed him into the kitchen. He pulled open all of the cupboards, deciding on a can of tuna.
"We aren't leaving anytime soon, if thats what you are worried about." Cas said whilst chewing.
"I was actually thinking that I might visit Will." I wasn't looking at him as I spoke, but the sound of his spoon crashing to the bench was enough to me me jump.
"That is such a stupid idea! You would be walking directly into enemy territory." He was angry.
"I am aware Cassian, but maybe I can convince Will to influence his family to start looking in another direction?"
"They saw you change Jas, if his cousins get close to you at all.."
"I know what will happen Cas. I'd be dead. But I worry that we will all be murdered if I don't do anything." Moments of silence passed through us, as Cas's brain was ticking away.
"The council will never agree to this." He finally managed, his frown lines softening.
"Wasn't planning on telling them Cas." I sat down in one of the kitchen stools, crossing my legs.
"So you are just going to leave."
"Yes."
"I'm coming with you."
...
It wasn't up for discussion, Cassian was coming with me. To protect me he said. But I think its to ensure that his new bride doesn't fall for the hunter, such a jealous Draki. Ok I'm kidding myself, its to ensure I don't die. The latter was more interesting. No body stopped us as we left in our human forms. We took the car that Cas had borrowed from his father to come and fine me, pushing it out of the boundary before turning it on.
"Could you slow down a little bit babe, I think I'm getting car sick." Cassian was screeching around corners, trying to put a good distance between us and then tribe. Although we both knew that it wouldn't take more than a second for the chief to figure out where we were.
"Do you have a plan of how you will approach him?" Cassian asked sincerly.
"I just thought i'd walk up to him, in daylight. Maybe in an open area. Just say something like 'Oh hey Will. Remember me? I'm a Draki, your family hunts us. Oh, we used to be in love? But then you saw me naked on a beach with my husband.." My voice dripped with sarcasm. Cassian was silent.
"You used to love him."
"Babe you knew this. When he came to see me. I thought you knew."
"I did, but I guess it hasn't really sunk in until now."
"I love you Cassian. With my whole body and soul." I laced our fingers, bringing his palm to my lips to kiss it. Maybe it was the fact that Cassian was speeding, but it felt like the car was waiting for us. It slammed into the side of our car, rolling it into a crumpled mess.
