"You have a crush on her, don't you!?" Kody pushed Jonas on the shoulder and sneered at him. "You have a crush on the weird girl!"
"Leave me alone!" Whimpered Jonas, cowering away from the pushes that were growing more and more forceful. "You don't know her."
"Oh, I know her alright. I know her better than you'll know. You're a nobody, Jonas. You haev no right to tell me what you do, or don't know." He shoves harder, making Jonas' slim frame wobble and almost collapse.
"You touch him one more time, Kody. I dare you." I glared at him, my eyes full of fire.
"Oh, and I suppose that a threat, is it? You think I'm scared of a freak like you? Look at you, no wonder everybody hates you."
SMACK.
Jonas has launched his hardest punch into Kody's left cheek. Kody did not feel a thing. The skin of his face barely wobbled, and his face of stone turned cold. His eyes pierced into the depths of Jonas' soul, ripping him apart mentally.
"You've done it now, Jonas."
In the blink of an eye, Kody's hands wrapped around Jonas' throat, stopping his breathing. Kody's eyes flamed and he lifted his fist. 1. 2. 3. He hit Jonas' stomach, winding him. 4. 5. 6. He did it again.
"GET OFF OF HIM!" I screamed. Throwing my hands forward toward them in a frenzy.
Before any of us could register what was happening, bolts of electricity zapped from the overhead lighting, jolting down into Kody, sending his tumbling to the floor. He looked up at me, shocked.
"The new age vamps have new affinities." He ran.
"What? Kody? What do you mean?" My questions recieved no response, Kody was gone.
I ran to Jonas' side, he was pale and breathing heavy. I lifted his head and placed it on my knees.
"How do you feel?"
He met my eyes with his own, chesnut pools, allowing me in. "Terrible. Don't let him hurt you, Ice."
His voice was weak, but the use of my nickname comforted me. "Let's get you out of here, J-J." I covered my mouth and let out a nervous giggle. "Uh, sorry, Jonas. I meant Jonas."
"I like J-J. Reminds me of home." He smiled, I noticed his smile was slightly crooked, and a butterfly nipped the inside of my stomach.
"Do you miss home?" I whispered, saddened by the thought of my mum all alone.
"No, my parents weren't great. I wouldn't go back in a million years. Not even if they found a cure for this whole Vamp thing. Do you?"
"I'm really sorry to hear that. Yes, I miss home. Although its probably a mess now. My grandparents started a war when this happened." I tapped my Mark. "My mum is my best friend, I miss her like crazy."
He smiled. "Looks like I'm coming home with you when we leave then." He winked at me and laughed.
For a moment, we were silent. Content with the silent thoughts of a happier time.
"Isa..." Jonas whispered, almost too low to hear.
"Yes, Jonas?"
He looked into my eyes, irritating the butterfly again.
"I'm so glad you're here."
That was all he said, but the simplicity sounded like the most compliccated and beautiful symphony to my ears. A overwhelming feeling of belonging came over me, anchoring me to the moment. All at once, the butterfly in my stomach multiplied, until there were one million tiny little butterflies, embarking on an exciting adventure.
"Jonas, I-"
Lifting his head towards me, he placed a soft finger on my lips. His eyes never once left mine, not until his soft, warm lips replaced his finger and he wisked me away into a fairytale.
