Yup, nothing to say. Not even an apology because some of you won't accept it. It's late, I'm tired, and I have a graduation to attend to in the morning. Read or do not, it's your choice of course.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the concept. Please don't steal, it's not nice, and it's also a form of laziness.

Cineva neaşteptate(Someone unexpected)Jade's POV

"I'm sending you back to the netherworld where you truly belong, demon." It hurt to say those words, knowing my own fears as a demonite were probably traveling up and down his spine. Father told me that it may be what the humans call our "home", but it was not a place that a being would choose to be at willingly. Luckily I have never been privy to visiting it, more so now than ever. The defeated demon solemnly bows his head in acceptance of his fate as I wave my hand over his shadowed figure. The earth slowly swallowed him from his knees up. I let go of the breath that was stuck in my chest, the sorrow released its hold and faded away. I looked down at the concrete, shaking my head lightly. "Who'd have thought that I would be doing this…"

"Well, I certainly never would have imagined it, Jade." A voice whispered behind me, causing me to turn around abruptly. In my quick movements, my wings brushed roughly against the brick walls causing me to let out a quiet curse. "Now, I do believe that is the Jadelyn I have come to know and torture."

"Cimm-Cimmerian? W-what are you doing here?" I paused, staring at the shadow entity that was casually leaned against the brick wall. He uncrossed his arms and stepped into the dim light emanating from the street lamp at the end. I held up a hand, stopping the tumultuous thoughts that were swirling around like an angry beehive. "I guess I should be asking, how did you get here?"

"Well, that there is the mystery, now isn't it?" White teeth appeared on his obsidian face as he continued approaching me. He reached out a dark hand and trailed it along the brick wall, casting dancing shadows across the planes. "I would guess that it's been four months, hmm?"

"More like six months, actually." He tapped his chin and nodded in acknowledgment. I could just see a faint glow around where his eyes would probably be, giving me something to look at besides pitch blackness. "What…How have you been?"

"I've been getting along swimmingly, Jadelyn. I hope you haven't worried too much about me. This world has more to see than it did back when I had my first host. At least I have been able to experience it on my own this time. Thank you for this, by the way. I do appreciate it very much." He motioned at his solid figure and I shook my head, not really knowing what to say. "This was your doing, yes? When the other hosts decided to help you in the fight, you must have forced me out as well."

"So, you've been on your own for six months, while I've slowly been slipping out of sanity?" I couldn't contain the growl as it escaped. My hands had clenched into fists and I shook them out to keep from drawing blood. Cimmerian shrugged nonchalantly and brushed off his hands of any imaginary dust that managed to cling to his skin.

"I had no idea of your condition. I have never been outside of the ring, so pardon me if I wanted to explore the world. Now that I have come back, I can easily return your mind to its original mental state." He took a step forward, and I took a step back.

"Cimm, it's not going to be as easy as a flick of your wrist. I'm not a demon anymore, and I'm not affiliated with the dark either. You can't just traipse back in like nothing happened. I've been fighting much too long for you to simply wash it all away with a simple douse of consciousness." I spat at the dark creature, forcing him to stop in his advancement. I saw his shoulders slouch before they straightened again and he continued forward. He managed to back me into the opposite wall and encroach on my personal space.

"Well, you can't expect me to sit back and watch you dribble into madness, now can I? I know that this will be a long arduous process, because I was a part of your psyche, and I broke out. There was no way to prevent any kind of traumatization from that action, and I apologize. If I had known that that was going to happen, I would have tried to find another way. I'm sorry for leaving you to struggle on your own. I know that you have missed my company more so than you thought you would." He raised his chin in what I could only imagine was his own portrayal as a "knowing look". "I know you like the back of my hand, Jadelyn. You are strong enough to pull through this brief stint of insanity, but I am here to ease the ache. I will help you through this, but I will not be your sole provider. There is one other that you need to let in."

"This is not her burden to bear, Cimm. If you said I can do this on my own, I will. Just don't bring her into this, she's been through enough already." I hated begging my companion, but I could not justify dragging Cat into my own messed up head. She had enough on her plate with her family casting her out, and I had basically abandoned her right as she told me that. Damn, I'm an idiot.

"Yes, yes you are." Cimmerian smiled slyly at me, and I had hoped that he couldn't still read my mind. Unfortunately, that did not seem to be the case. "We will start with meditations that will make it easier to concentrate. First, let's go home and see if we can reconnect. I do believe I have missed my sister more than even I thought I would."

"You going soft on me already, Cimm?" I joked, nudging him in the shoulder. He bumped me back and shook his head. A low chuckle emanated from his chest and bounced around the empty alleyway.

"Must be the humanity that I've been witness to recently. You would not believe the amount of cruelty and kindness I have seen these past few months." I clapped him on the shoulder and reverted to a more human look. His form shimmered until he returned to a familiar look. Blue eyes connected with mine and an easy smile graced his lips. "Let me tell you all about it on our way back, hm?"

"Sounds like a plan to me, Cimm."

Back at the West Residence

"Ah, Jadelyn, lovely to see you again after your long absence. We've been keeping Caterina company since you left. I believe she is still up in your room." My mother ushered us inside without a second glance at Cimmerian. Somehow I couldn't believe how relaxed my parents were about all of this. Of course, no human ever thought that demons were the most understanding creatures when it comes to abrupt changes. We tended to brush off anything different and concentrate at the task at hand. "Please enjoy your stay, Cimmerian. It is so nice to finally meet you in person."

"And you as well, Mrs. West. Now you can put a different face to the same name, hm?" Cimm grinned back at her tipping his hand to her in a polite gesture. I blanched at his behavior, how come you never behaved like this to me?

You simply never looked to me like a respected individual. You were more like a prick who needed to be taught a lesson. His eyes flicked over to me, the azure pools flickering playfully. I bit my tongue to keep my rude retort at bay before heading up the grandiose staircase. He followed after me, bidding my mother good bye for now. My steps slowed as I approached my bedroom door and anxiety quickly swept its way down my spine.

How do I even begin to rectify my actions, Cimm? I've certainly made a mess of things by up and leaving her when she needed me most. My shoulders slumped forwards and he clasped a hand on them. Giving me a confident smile and a reassuring pat, he pushed me towards the door.

Well, the best way to start is to apologize for being a self-centered idiot, I suppose? I glared at him and his lack of helpfulness. He shrugged before grasping the door knob and swinging the door open. Before I knew what was happening though, I was tackled to the wooden floor by a flurry of wings and brown hair.

Yeah, well. That's all I've got for this chapter. Do or do not, there is no try as the great Jedi master Yoda always says. This is what I'm repeating in an attempt to see if you will review or not. Do, or do not, I do not care. I'm almost done with this story. We'll go through Jade's "therapy" and then a happily ever after. Sound good? Okie dokie, smokey. Blue Wolf Leader~ Out
