When I woke up the next morning and I smiled a small smile. My dreams were so bittersweet. I loved being able to be with Jonah for 8 hours in
dreamland, but I always had to wake up. I sighed and ruffled my hair. I got up groggily and noticed my appearence in the mirror. I gasped when I
saw purple bruises around my neck. I touched my neck gingerly and I noticed that they had the strangest formation that looked like hands. I
growled at Aikman, where ever he was in this house.
I got dressed in my usual skinny jeans and band shirt. I was putting concealer on my battle wounds from Aikman when I heard the door bell ring.
I felt my eyebrows furrow, Who would be at my house at 10 in the morning? I went upstairs and opened the door to find a very sleepy looking
Thomas. He had black circles under his eyes and he flinched at every sound. I felt sad for the poor boy, Jonah must have really scared him. When
he saw me, he smiled a large grin. "Good morning Arabells." He said groggily. I cocked my eyebrow at my nickname. "Good Morning to you too
Tommy Boy" I smiled. "Do you want to go to town with me?" He offered yawning while he asked. "We could hang out here, you seem really tired
anyway"I said. He nodded, a grateful smile was on his lips. He plopped onto the couch and I asked "Why are you so tired? Did you spend all
night studying for math?" I winced, I shouldn't of made the math comment. He looked at me strangely "How do you know I am having trouble
with math?" He asked. I shrugged " Who doesn't, besides its was just a random guess." I assured him. " Ha ha, No. I couldn't sleep at all
because I believe someone from the other side is trying to kill me." He said, fear etched in every syllable.
"What makes you think that?" I asked. I had the strange feeling that Jonah had left something out of his haunting. " Someone wrote on
my mirror "If you hurt her, I will bestow 20 times the amount of pain used to kill me, but you will not die". I closed my eyes and stifled a smile. I
would have to talk to Jonah about how much he can scare people . I didn't mind, but Thomas was an absolute wreck. I opened my eyes and saw
Jonah standing in the kitchen doorway. "Would you like anything to drink before we throughly discuss your 'death threat'?" I teased. Thomas
nodded his head "Yes please, may I have a glass of water?".
I nodded and walked into the kitchen. "Are you mad now?" Jonah whispered. I shook my head "Jonah he's totally freaked out!" I whispered
back. He shrugged "Its not my fault he's a big baby. He should take it like a man!"He said. "We'll talk about this later." I said. He sighed and
disappeared. I walked back into the living room and gave Thomas his glass of water. "Thanks Baby" He said with a wink. Ugh, I rolled my eyes at
this kid. I should let Jonah scare him more often. He pulled me onto the vacant spot on the couch next to him. I saw Jonah standing by the TV,
glaring at Thomas. "So what did this 'assassin' look like?" I asked.
"He looked horrible, like he was burnt to crisp. I can't believe I was afraid of him, he was so childish by not even sticking around to fight me off"
He scoffed. Ok this kid was getting on my nerves. " You don't know him" I whispered. "What was that Arabells?" He said. I looked at him into his
green eyes, "So he was burnt? Were his eyes a bright blue?" I asked. Thomas nodded his head. "Exactly the shade of ice". I saw Jonah
behind him "Did he have a little bit of black hair on his head?" I said describing Jonah's appearance. Thomas' eyebrows furrowed "Yeah how do
you know?" He asked. "Because he's standing right behind you". I said motioning to the very pissed off Jonah. Thomas turned around gasped.
Thomas moved so quickly I didn't have time to breathe. My back was up against the wall and he was facing Jonah. "Get away from her." he
threatened. "Thomas you don't need to defend me I-". "Don't worry Arabells I won't let him hurt you baby" He cut me off. He turned around and
kissed me. I tried to struggle out of his grasp but he held unto me like a barnacle to a ship. I felt his lips leave mine and I saw him suddenly on
the ground. Jonah was standing over him.
"Like I could ever hurt her. You are so disgusting, you are not a man. I burned to death and I am more passionate then you are.
There is a beautiful woman standing in front of you and you only see her as a piece of meat. If you want a woman to like you, treat her like a
lady you idiot. Not like some whore. Call her "Love" insted of "Baby". By the way...... didn't you read my message. Don't. Hurt. Her." Jonah said
angrily. Thomas just laid there, his mouth opened in shock. "What? You wanted me to stick around and fight. So here I am, come on, I don't have
all day." Jonah threatened. Thomas got up and looked down at Jonah "I cannot believe it. Your in love with her!" He exclaimed. Jonah rolled his
eyes " No shit sherlock". "Wow your a freak, you can even touch her. Your a fuckin ghost and I am alive. You need to move on you Incubus"
Thomas said. Jonah just stared at him and said "At least I have morals and values, when ever I look at her, I look at her beautiful eyes. Unlike
you. You picture her naked every time you see her." Thomas blushed "Get out of my head!". Jonah laughed " I can't help it, your thoughts are so
loud its like your screaming at me."
Thomas glared at Jonah for a minute and then turned to me. I was in his arms and his lips were moving against mine roughly in about 5 seconds.
I tried to push him away and scream but Thomas just slipped his tongue in my mouth, exploring every single inch like a disgusting worm. Tears
fell down my face as he lifted up my shirt. Before he could remove it, he was on the floor screaming. Half of his face was burned to crisp, just like
Jonah's. Jonah was in front of me touching my swollen lips tenderly and stroking my tears away. "Are you ok? I am so sorry I didn't react sooner"
He said frantically. I sniffled "I'm fine don't worry about it.". Jonah stroked my face and kissed me very softly,taking away the pain from my
throbbing lips. He pulled away smiling a small smile. "Don't worry I'll take care of him" Jonah assured me. He turned to Thomas. "She is mine" He
growled "I hope I never see your face in this house or it will be completely destroyed, and you will never touch her ever again you basterd."
Jonah snarled. Thomas just nodded and ran out of my house like the coward he was. "Big Baby" Jonah whispered.
