Step by step, the stone under my feet spread into the huge courtyard. I observed the sea of stone tables and students leisuring. It was till I reached the very edge when I spotted Jessie sitting alone on the grass. I strolled down the grinded pavement that almost made me slip because of how steep it was.

I almost approached him when I cranned my neck to the left, to view over his shoulder. With the nail of his finger, he sliced a flower stem into 8 pieces. Then he put the stems in a circle and placed an orange rock in the center. I wasn't sure if it was my eyes playing tricks on me, but the rock began to hover an inch above the ground along with the little pieces of the stem and rotated clockwise. It was a sun.

"That's beautiful," My voice, cutting off his concentration and dropping the elements. "There's no point in hiding it, I already know what there is to know."

A part of me doubted that, but I didn't want that to block the thoughts I had now. This Jessie seemed reserved and scared. But about what?

"You know all of what Finn's told you. There's a whole other side to the story here," Jessie remarked as he stood up, wiping off the dirt from his jeans.

"What? You're trapped by the cookie cutter blonde queen?" My senetence offended him immediately.

"You actually think I listen to Quinn? I'm on your side here! You might want to think about what your headed too. Where all of this could lead you. Do you know what happened to the other girls Finn tried partnering up with? You'll end up just like the rest of them."

As Jessie finished his statement, memories flooded my mind. Finn's family. They know. And Finn, lied to me.

"I'm trying to help you figure out the truth, when all that you've absorbed, are the lies," Jessie hiked down a trail that lead to the double doors of the school, but in the opposite direction. "Follow me."

I did as told and we ended up walking silently on the side of a dirt road for about half an hour. I had to think of small talk or sooner or later, I'd loose it.

"I was serious about earlier, my friend Kurt likes you. But considering the fact that your not playing for that team, it wasn't going to affect you anyways," He chuckled and let out air from his nose at the same time. Oddly adorable.

"Well, I will admit. Kurt's got potential. it's obvious in his writings," Jessie confessed as my brows arched.

"You mean, Libney's Peak?" I asked, feeling complimented at the same time.

"Yeah, I think that's it," He spoke cheerfully with his hands stuffed in his jean pockets and his jacket zipped loose.

"I'm the one that wrote that, actually," I admitted as he looked at me with sparkles in his pupils.

"Well, I admire your wrting very much," Jessie complimented as I shot a small grin. For some reason, this felt a little wrong. Me and him, alone.

"Exactly, where are we going?" I grew curious and little frightend.

"I don't know, I just said we'd meet after school." With a quick glance and a smile, he picked up the pace and within seconds, was a few feet ahead of me.

"Wait!" I hollered as my boots scuffed against the pale rock. When I was inches away from him, I stopped to catch my breath. "I wanna show you something."

...

I sat on the cliff as we observed the area.

"This is like my little secret hideout, it gives me inspiration for the school's paper," I informed Jessie as he swirled tiny pebbles within his palm. His lashes shut rapidly before glancing into my eyes with that warm and content mood he always has. Still holding our glance, he tossed a pebble far out of the cliff till it literally exploded, creating a design. A waterfall. I was mesmorized, as if I were falling under a trance, just watching the light blue particles drizzle in thin air.

"How'd you do that?" I asked, intrigued by the idea of something new.

"Brody taught me. He calls it an emotional firecracker. The design is created by the emotions or thoughts going through you. A waterfall represents calmness and the ability to keep moving on."

As cheesy as it sounded, it's trick was magnificent. Something that I was surprised to see, even after all these tricks, Finn pulled. For some reason, his words seemed oddly familiar, but couldn't remember where from.

"I wanna try," I commanded as I held my palm out and placed a small, mahogany rock. I felt the tingle on the tip of my ear when he whispered on my neck.

"Find your inner self and create the image in your mind."

Finn.

I threw the pebble and design represented the scenery behind it. The mountain range with the cumulus clouds that looked almost decent. The slight wind, brushed my hair against the exposed skin on my arm and goosebumps spread like wildfire.

"Usually, it takes more than once for a person to actually accomplish that, but I shouldn't be surprised. Your special," Jessies smile was everything. But special? Never heard that theory before.

"You said you'd expliain how everything happened on Friday. Well….explain," I grew tired of always avoided the discussions that I needed to have. The less I focused, the more confused I got.

His carefree mood vanished. "It was the energy between you and Quinn. See, Finn and Quinn used to be partners. Partners for defense against the other generations of immortals which only occurs when I new born immortal arrives," Jessie continued, but one thing stuck in my head. A newborn immortal. Defense, probably against war. Which is probably why I've been needing to train. I'm that newborn.

"You've died so many times that, Finn began to give you fragments of his life. Once he heals you, a part of him is weakened. He could've died because of you and that's what I believe, Quinn, is holding against you," Jessie's information sent my thoughts spinning. I thought back to the hospital. Only I know who Finn really is.

"The rules are set so that nothing can occur between partners in defense. So if Finn gets exposed to any of her emotions or she tells him anything to affect him, it slowly kills him. And since a part of him is you, everything she does or tells you, is more than a threat, it's a move in the making."

"To get rid of me?" I asked, beginning to feel uncomfortable about knowing all this.

"If that's what you call, murder, then I guess that's one way to put it," Jessie replied as I placed my self on a boulder.

"How did Finn find me?" I asked, wanting to know the answer to the one thing Finn could never know I knew.

"There was a cliff incedent when you were eight," Jessie didn't have to continue, I was already in mental freak out. I don't even remember any of it. All I remember is Kurt saving me. "All you see now, is the simple vision of your friend Kurt. Telling you what you shouldn't do and not doing it. But you did and that moment when you thought you shut your eyes and felt the wind, brush against your skin. You were actually falling towards your death. Reopening your eyes, was the refresh button on your life. Kurt actually would have shown up about 10 minutes after you fell if Finn didn't save you."

"Why'd I jump" I kept asking, not wanting to stop, cause I knew that if I didn't ask, I'd never know. Finn wouldn't even tell me.

"Quinn made you, if she couldn't be the closest to his skin when he was in perfect health, imagine how hard it was when half of him was already dead and weak. She wanted you gone and she did and will do anything it takes to make sure of that," Jessie completed as I sighed. She put all the suicidal thoughts in my head, made me want to be an outsider. If I died, no body would know and if they did, it would be a memory forgotten within the next couple of years.

"How do you know all of this?" I arched an eyebrow and paced towards him slowly, making sure not to slip.

"Quinn and I are closer than you think."

"How close?" I was inches from him and he was inches from the edge. His body stiffened as his breath let out a foggy mist that vanished within seconds.

"I'm their son."
