CHAPTER SIX: FREEDOM WITH A PRICE.
Logan left, finally! So I have the place to myself again and it is back to the old routine. Fitness, Danny, Logan/blacking out. His parents left last week a few days after the party, and well Nikky just keeps avoiding me…I like being avoided by her right now. Jessica and Danny have been "busy" with God knows what, but I have an idea and since everyone was so busy including Logan who was away for the next 2 days on some Coven business I was stuck with my awesome buddy Ryan who I think Logan is jealous of Ryan…hehehe.
But he is coming back today . 2 more laps and I'm done running for today,Nikky didn't come again today because she's "sick" apparently . well I've also been feeling sick, feeling light-headed, vomity but it will pass by with time.
"come on Jade, go shower the King will be here in a few hours" I slow down to a jog then a walk.
"Mr. Canon, may I stay here and carry on working out?' he smile, reminding me of my grandfather, warm smile, white hair but he still looks like he is in his late 40's.
"sorry love, you've had enough for today" I sigh, hug him and walk out.
"Jade Maya Winters and Nicole "Nikky" Greene have been missing for more than 7months now, the search for the two girls has turned up no leads. the other three young girls have all said that they don't know or remember everything about their abduction, Jade Winters' parents Isis and Josh Winters had this to say" my parents come into view, my mother looks like she's been crying for months , my father has his arm around her shoulders, her once green-grey eyes are now red, her dark black hair is mess. My father looks like he hasn't shaved in months too, his grey eyes have bags under them, his black hair is longer now, my parents, I have both my mother and father's traits, and I miss them.
"if anyone knows what happened or where our daughter is please, contact Detective Ross at the White Wood Brooklyn police department" my father sounds like he is about to break into tears.
"and Jade if you are watchin, please come home. We all miss and love you" tears run down my mother's cheeks, I can't stand to watch it so I switch the T.V off.
I didn't even realize that tears were escaping my own eyes, I lay down on the couch screaming and crying all the agony into the pillow, I want to go home now. I feel a hand on my back, I sit up only to see Logan, with a concern look on his face.
"I could hear your thoughts and your crying when I entered the building, you forgot to put your wall up" he smiles, I move away from him.
"and you just invited yourself in?" I stand up and walk into the Kitchen for some water.
"I don't need to be, I was worried…about you" I turn slightly and put the half finished glass of water down.
"you were worried?" he walks around the Kitchen island towards me.
"I was more than worried, even I was scared…I know I'm the worst person right now and I know you don't want anything to do with me, but I want everything to do with you, I always have….ever since that night your friend died, I've wanted to know you, touch you, kiss you…love you but you were and still are far away from me" we are less than a centimeter apart, my eyes fixed to his chest, I can feel his eyes looking down at me.
"I thought about you, I think about you every day. Jade say something" I stand there stunned, I look into his black eyes.
"I…Logan-I-" before the rest of the words could come out my mouth, Danny walks in.
"Logan, we need to talk" we both look at a very serious Danny.
"can it wait Danny?" he puts his arm around my waist .
"of course I'll wait outside" he walks out, Logan looks at me, I just can't look at him.
"I am yours Jade Winters, I hope one day you will be mine" I don't know how long I stood there after he walked out, but it must have been long because Jessica walked in my apartment, looking angry like she was about to blow up the whole building.
"Jade, Danny is asking for you" I nod and walk with her to Danny's office.
Oh please no no no. God no.
"we both pregnant? At the same time?" Jessica is trying to calm me down the best she can but I can't.
"you are just a month later then her" he sits on his decks.
"oh fucken hell" I stand up and start pacing.
"I can't stay here, I need to leave, my parents…ooh fuck no, I'm stuck here forever" I stop, and look and a very hurt but still concerned Jessica and Danny.
"we can lie" Jessica whispers.
"Jessica!" he whispers.
"Danny, she is like my sister and you too, Nikky is already pregnant right? We can say that she has the Gene and he will let Jade go, he promised to" Danny looks uneasy.
"if we do this, he will kill us" she caress his face with sweet smile on her face.
"and if we don't, we will regret it forever and we live forever. He is only doing this because of the curse change and the Council" curse change?.
"yes Jade curse change, the first vampire made it like this, that only a King can have children with a vamp woman who has the same gene as him, a special gene he did it with the help of a witch of course and about 60 years back, she changed it because Logan killed her demonic son who killed and raped and just destroyed our world. Logan had build it up again, but in the not only did the curse change, he changed too" he changed, I wonder what he was like before the big change.
"Danny please, I need to go home and live my life. Nikky is happy here and don't get me wrong I will miss and love y'all but my parents, my friends…me please" I stand in front of him.
"I'll destroy the tests,… I think you'll be going home today, just don't forget us and stay in contact if you can" I nod.
"I will, I promise thank you both" I hug them.
I have to take everything I was given, clothes, iPod, shoes, dress, And meet Jessica at the elevator. Packing is easy, they are going to drop me at the police department, and I'll just do the lying and carrying on with my life and have a baby.
We walk into the Council hall, Logan is sitting in his throne and all the other snakes are seated in their chairs, watching me walk at human pace to stand in front of Logan and Jessica,. I finally reach the center of the room, Brandon stands beside me.
"long time no see Hulk" he growls making me smile like I've won something.
"Jade Winters has failed to give a child, so now I release her" that sentence starts an up roar.
"Silence!" the room returns to its normal state of quietness.
"Jade will be glamoured to forget, and I will pay her in cash. Jade you will no Vampire from this day on" he materializes in front of me.
"I will now accompany her on her way out, with my wife and head of the King's guard Brandon the rest of you may leave" and they do after we walk out.
We walk in silence the whole way when we reach the car,I hug a sobbing Jessica bye and she reminds me that her number is in my bag, when she leaves, Brandon gets in the car.
"you don't have to leave you know, you could stay… with me" I face him, he caress my cheek, his hand cold but warm at the same time.
"I can't, I'm sorry" he pulls me into his embrace .
"no I'm sorry, I love you Jade Winters" everything starts looking blurry, before a blackness invites itself in.
