After I got out of the shower, I headed back into the room I seemed to be sharing. I don't know with who, though. I got dressed, and I headed downstairs. Derek was sitting on a couch, and Tori was nowhere in sight. I saw that Simon was having a heated conversation with Jason. All of the sudden Jason's eyes flew to me, and his eyes widened. He looked at Derek, and then back to Simon. The conversation concluded, and they shook hands.
I walked over to them, and tapped Simon on the shoulder. He turned around, and smiled.
"Ah, Sleeping Beauty. Whatcha doing?"
"I, um, came to talk to Jason."
"Go right ahead! I should be going anyways."
"Bye!" I said.
I turned back around to face Jason, and once his eyes landed on me, they went soft.
"Uh. S-sorry for being a j-jerk. I tend to get a little, uh, uppity, when other people are around." So much for overcoming the stutter. I didn't point that out though, I bet he was silently cursing himself for doing it, anyways.
"Uh," I mumbled. I hadn't seen that coming. "Can we go outside? I thought maybe we could, um, talk…?" I trailed off.
"Sure. I know this great place near a stream."
"Cool!" I exclaimed.
We walked out of the house in silence, and the silence continued outside. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. He really did look like the boy version of me. Strawberry blonde hair stuck up at an odd angle around his head that gave him a slightly rumpled look. His pale skin had a certain shimmer to it, and he was only a little taller than me. His bright blue eyes caught mine, and I wondered if that's what people saw when they looked at me. All in all, he looked very non-threatening, and had an air of innocence around him.
"So," I started, trying to break the silence, "whose older. Me or you?"
"I don't know. I think you're older than me though."
"Score for me! I'm usually the youngest."
He chuckled. The next thing I knew I was eating dirt. My nose throbbed, and I tasted blood.
"Oh my god, are you okay?"
I groaned in response, and he helped pick me up. "Jesus Chloe! I think you broke your nose! How'd you manage to do that?"
I groaned again, and it was followed by a whimper. I held my shaking hand up to my nose, and when I pulled it away, it was bright red. "Ow!"
"Don't worry; I'll take you back to the safehouse." He picked me up, and held me like a baby.
I must have lost track of time, because I was now lying in the same bed that I had just woken up in. I tried to sit up, and I was carefully pushed down again. My eyes fluttered open, and Derek, Tori, and Jason stood over me. I put a hand to my head, and groaned.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well, I had to reconstruct your nose, and staunch the bleeding. Fun, fun, fun. So, how'd you feel?" said Tori.
"I feel like and elephant stepped on my face. Then decided to sit on my head."
"We heard the story. And, wow, Chloe. I thought you were klutzy at first, but I think that tops everything I've ever seen you do. And I didn't even see it."
Jason started laughing, and Derek shot them both a glare.
"Derek, It's fine, really. It was kind of funny," I said, cracking a weak grin.
"There is a downside, though," she said. "Unfortunately, shamans are the real healers. Plus, I wasn't even sure how to heal your nose! So, I was able to fix your nose, but as for the rest of your face…," she trailed off. She handed me a mirror, and I took it.
I held it up, and saw what she meant. My nose was no longer inflamed, and crooked, as I would have thought it would be, but the area around my eyes was bad. The skin under, and over my eyes were a sickly purple color, and they were puffy and swollen.
Great.
I sighed and set the mirror down, and looked up at Derek.
He looked down at me, and his gaze softened.
I sighed. Now was as good of a time as ever to talk to Jason. "Hey, guys, can I talk to Jason alone for a minute?"
"Sure, but, don't do anything stupid." She grabbed Derek by the shirt, and pulled him out of the room. We all knew he could've resisted her if he wanted, but he didn't.
I turned to Jason, and smiled. "So, I guess this is as good a chance as ever to talk." He nodded, and looked away, smiling.
"So," I started, "you're my brother? My twin brother?"
He looked at me, seriousness in his eyes. "Yeah. Consider yourself lucky. You actually got to stay with our parents." There was a bitter edge there, and his jaw was locked.
I grabbed his hand, and squeezed. He looked at me, and I saw the gleam of unshed tears in his eyes. "Hey. It's okay. I bet if they knew that they were having twins they would have kept you in a heartbeat. I loved mom, and I know she would've loved you. Plus, dad would have loved a son."
The sorrow left his eyes, and he just looked drained. "Oh, I know she didn't know about me. The Edison Group made that pretty clear, it definitely wasn't a secret. I just wish I could have known them like you do. Especially mom."
Oh, god. He keeps using the present tense. He thinks she's still alive! "Um, there's only one problem with that."
He looked at me. "And, what exactly might that be?"
I looked down and picked at the blanket that was covering me. I didn't meet his eyes when I said, "She's dead." I didn't need to see his face to know that all the hope he had of ever meeting her came crashing down. "She died when I was younger, in a hit and run. They never found the driver. Dad is still alive though! He just doesn't know anything about this." I choked out a laugh. "He even has a seventy five thousand dollar price on my head."
"He sounds like a good dad," he said quietly.
"He is. He may be busy a lot, but he cares. So who raised you?" I asked.
"I was raised by the Edison Group. The rest of Project Genesis were unstable, so they had to terminate them. We're the only ones that were stable. Once we knew enough we all escaped. We lived on the streets for the longest time. I remember this one time, a gang confronted us, and we had to fight. Of course living on the streets taught us a few things about fighting. They killed Isabel."
I could tell by the tremor in his voice that he cared for this Isabel girl.
After a little pause he continued. "After living like that for about four months Jacinda found us. That's my story."
"Wow. Four months? I think that would've killed Tori. She could barely handle a couple of weeks!"
He chuckled, and I knew I had diffused some of the tension.
"I assume you know our story, so no reason to go into that. Hey, you said you were a … mermaid, right? And, that you were also a water demon. Can you show me some of your powers, and tell me about them? It sounds interesting."
He chuckled, and raised his hand. All of the sudden the air seemed dryer, and a ball of water was floating above his palm. "Sure. I'm a Provocabit water half-demon, that's the highest rank of water demon. Basically, I can control water in all its forms." Suddenly the water froze solid, and dropped into his palm. Then it melted and streamed off of his hand. I was watching this all in fascination. The water reformed in the air, and was a ball again.
The air got even dryer as the ball grew in size. He raised his other hand, and molded the water into an icicle. He froze it, and opened the window. I followed him, and he pointed to a far off tree. "Watch," was all he said. He pulled his arm back, and threw the icicle like it was a javelin. I watched it fly into the tree. It exploded on contact.
I looked at Jason in amazement, and saw that his eyes were closed, and that he was concentrating really hard. I looked back out of the window, and saw the little pieces of ice floating in the air. All of the sudden they all came whizzing back into the room. They hung there, suspended. Then, they evaporated, and moisture returned to the room.
I turned to look at Jason, and saw that he was pale and panting. I led him over to the bed. He sat down, and a heavy grunt escaped him. "Wow," I started. "You make me feel like a slacker. All I can do is raise zombies and talk to the dead. Way to make me feel useless!"
He laughed, and as I sat next to him, I knew I would like him. Once you got over his cockiness he wasn't half bad.
A/N: Was it good? WAS IT? omg, i hope it was! luv you guys! hahaha, what's your opinion of Jason? Do you like him, or no?
