Chapter 16 - Dying

This takes place during Chapter 15. ;) Care to see how the Grimorie handles Mina?

xXMADD1EXx : Hehe, yes, I have to agree. I've heard Fluffy is a big Meague shipper. Her reading this wouldn't be good.

Guest 1 : I agree, Jared is being an idiot. As for Mina arriving? Well, we'll have to see about that.

Evx : Ha, I love that scene! Best one ever. I can give no information on Teague though. Just be satisfied with the fact that it's a trilogy, and my profile gives a hint on the ships involved.

"And why not? You're being rather selfish, hogging her all to yourself."

"She chose me. Not you, me. So go find some other girl to love. Like the Grimorie, for example."

"No, I think I'll stick with having feelings for Mina. And she will return them."

"Oooh, does little Jared think he has some plan that can stop me from being with Mina?"

"I do, actually."

"And what would that b-" A sudden blast of ice hits him in the stomach, cutting him off as it traps him against the wall.

I shoot two more ice balls, in order to keep him from preforming any Fae magic. The ice balls trap his hands, leaving him defenseless. Besides his legs of course, but I ignore those, and step closer.

"Open wide, brother." I force his head back, and slide the pill in, forcing him to swallow it.

His head sags, and I take a step back, eyes wide in panic. No. No, that's not right. I feel for a pulse somewhere, forcing the ice to melt so I can. Nothing. His chest doesn't rise or fall. His eyelids are closed.

Did I just kill my brother?

Grimorie's POV

I find the room, and a smirk takes my face. There's her room. And - thankfully for me - it's wide open. How stupid is this girl? She'd left her door wide open, but I'm sure she's inside.

I step inside. The lights are off, the curtains are closed, and it's very dark. Has dating the dark prince effected her this much? I smirk at my own joke.

Till a chair hits me right smack in the head. I begin to massage my head, irritated. "Yow!"

"What are you doing here?" There's the angry voice of the Grimm.

"Throwing chairs isn't nice, Wilhelmina." I reprimand her instead.

"Teague warned me that someone was in the castle. He told me to hide. I wasn't expecting it to be you though."

"That's because he doesn't know I'm here. He just knows about Jared."

She tenses. I've been able to make out her figure in the dark, and step closer, weaving around.

"Wha-What?"

"Yes. Jared is here. He's handling Teague."

"What? No!" She rushes forward, but I grab her, holding her back.

"I don't think so. I still need to handle you."

"Jared wouldn't want that!"

"He won't know. I'll be handling you without his permission, and then I'll take your form."

"No! No, no, you won't! I won't let you!"

"But darling, you have no choice." A vicious smirk takes my face as I slam her against the wall.

She's weak. She tries to shove me away, Fae magic and normally, but I've sensed her magic for a long time. After all, I'm the Grimorie. I was the one that caused the book to change for her. And now, I use that against her, causing her Fae magic to shock her and make her slam into the wall again. She's dazed.

I take that moment to shove the pill into her mouth and get her to swallow. "N-"

Her protest isn't finished. She slumps downwards, and I smirk, letting her fall to the ground. Then, I pull a small syringe from my bag, and take some of her blood. I need that to take her form. This should last me around three days. But, I need to make sure Jared doesn't find this mess. With a snap of my fingers, she's off in the dungeons, chained in iron. She won't be bothering me...Ever.

I can feel myself changing, and my blood boils. Taking this form hurts! But it'll be worth it. I'll have Jared for myself. No one will take him from me ever again. Even if it's not the most ideal situation.

"Sleep, Mina. Sleep for a long, long time." I whisper the words to myself as I hear footsteps, and I step out of the room.

"Mina? Are you alright?" It's Jared.

"J-Jared? What are you doing here?" My acting skills are better than even I thought they could be. Good. I didn't have time to do much practicing to play the role of Wilhelmina Grimm.

"I came to rescue you."

"Rescue me? From who? The Grimorie?"

"From Teague."

"Wha-What?" I try to pull away - well, not really, but pretend to try and pull away - and he pulls me closer.

"Please forgive me for this." He puts a hand to my forehead, and it glows.

He's erasing my memories. Or, thinks he is. Thankfully, because he's directing the forgetting at Mina, it doesn't affect me. I pretend to stumble a little, slumping in his arms.

"Mina? Are you okay?" Concern fills his voice.

"J-Jared?" Again, I force myself to stutter. "What are we doing here?"

"It doesn't matter. Just know we're safe here." He lets out a relieved sigh. "I'll be right back, okay?"

After he leaves, I use a bit of stray magic to send Teague to a cell as well. Just as a precaution, in case the pill didn't work, I put him in iron chains as well. But I don't think Mina or Teague will be bothering us again for quite some time.

What are you guys thinking about this?

Remember, if we get three reviews I post the final chapter. :) It's sure to be a doozy!
