Not much to say, just that if you want, check my main fanfic, Falling Hard, and it's sequel, Back to Your Heart! Thanks to you all for reading! I'm sorry for the very late updates! I just haven't had time to, having no access to internet for over a month, then with the stress of running two fanfics at once. Please enjoy, and click follow, favourite, and, if you have time, please review! Tysvm!
"What did you say? I didn't catch any of that." Caius said.
"You didn't catch it the first time? Aw. Don't worry, I wasn't expecting much from you, such of a dim-witted person wouldn't understand, especially since my IQ is obviously higher than yours." I smirked.
"Hey! You take that back, right now!"
"Nope." I leaned against the wall, rubbing a piece of cloth on my blade, making it shiny enough to see my reflection in.
"You-"
"Will you two just stop arguing?" Emma sighed. "Or do you loooooooove each other?"
Caius and I blushed. Furiously. "What!? No way! Never. No. Not in a million years. You've got to be kidding me." Caius exclaimed.
"Well, I was just kidding...but you seem to take it seriously..." Emma grinned.
"Emma!" I scowled. She only smirked. I rolled my eyes, pocketing my seraph blade.
"Oh, Caius," I mentioned, pulling out a pair of red three inch heels. Smirking, I shoved them into his arms. "There."
"Whoa, wait a second there...we are literally just about to escape from the highly warded Shadowhunter homeland, and you are worrying about some bet we made yesterday?"
"Yes. If you are half as good of a shadowhunter as you claim you are, then you will be able to do it. In fact, I'll do it too. Except I'm going to wear heeled boots."
"Not fair! These are way easier to fall off! Besides, these don't even fit me." he dangled the shoes.
"It does." I insisted.
"And how do you know?"
"I guessed. Besides, Emma helped me out on that one. And it is, in fact, totally fair! Mine are four inches. Those are three. There is a difference." I took off my combat boots, and slipped on black heeled boots.
"You guys...your love is hilarious." Julian piped in.
"Julian, don't you dare..." I warned, grabbing my dagger and lightly pressing the tip to his heart, before he could even react to what I was doing.
"Whoa...okay. Remind me to never mess with you!" he exclaimed. I with-drew the dagger, and turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.
"Julian, I don't think anyone needs to remind you." I replied, still walking, letting the three follow behind me.
"She creeps me out, sometimes. Such a creepy, arrogant, yet brilliant girl. I bet," I heard Caius add as he was muttering to Julian. "She'd make a good consul, one day."
I couldn't help but blush, if only for a second. Now rolling my eyes, I said, "Yeah, so you'd better not talk behind my back!" I smirked at them.
"Darn these freaking loud shoes!" I pulled my boots off, and drew soundless runes on them. The clicking sound it made was starting to get annoying.
"You wouldn't have to put up with them if you never made me wear these, you know." Caius gestured at the red heels.
"Just shut your yapping!" Emma shouted.
I blushed, and continued on, trying to focus on the situation at hand.
"Alright. Now, the Clave, right now, are in a meeting, they should be done in an hour, if we're lucky, fifteen minutes if we're not. Right here," I pointed to the area we were standing at on a map, "is where we are. Over there...that's where we have to be. That's the one least warded exit. We could easily leave there. Once we leave, though..."
"We don't have a plan." Emma finished my sentence.
"Okay. Let's...lets just think about leaving first, okay? Leaving, then we think of a plan. Because I can't let another moment pass over here." Caius looked up to the sky. It was sunrise by now, the blue sky streaked with brilliant red, purple, pink, and orange. This may well be our last sunrise. We may not ever see Idris again, not after we leave. But it was time we departed and finished our quest.
This chapter was a little shorter than usual. So sorry. But I have so much planned for you guys! Thanks for being patient as I (slowly) write my fanfic.
