Hello everyone im back with another chapter of bonded. So lets get to it.
Chapter 12
Jazz woke up when she heard the door shut and got up. "you think jazz is asleep?" she heard Ember asked. She go up looking around seeing that clockwork had left. She turned the corner quietly and saw the two sitting on the couch returning from their date. Danny smiled at Ember loosening his tie. "i think so." he said. Jazz watched smirking as she saw Ember twirling her hair. "can I ask you something Danny?" she asked. Danny looked at her smiling. "sure thing." his eyes widened as Ember layed her head on his shoulder. "have you ever really liked someone and never told them how you feel?" she asked.
Danny looked at her. "why do you ask?" Ember looked at him smiling. "i needed advice was all. There's a guy I want to tell how I feel about him." Jazz looked at Danny seeing his face fall to disappointment. "Danny cmon its dead on obvious who shes talking about." Jazz thought to herself. She face-palmed herself. "duh clueless." she said to herself. She looked again to see Danny force a smile. "you should tell him how you feel." he said nervously. Ember got up looking at him. "what if he rejected me? What if he didn't like me back?" she asked. Danny looked at her shocked. "then hes crazy youre so much fun to hang out with. You know how to cheer people up and everything."
Ember looked at Danny for a while and smiled. "so should I tell him?" she asked. Danny looked for a moment and then back to her. "yeah go for it." not a fraction of a second and Jazz gasped. Ember grabbed the back of Danny's head and pulled her lips towards hers. Danny soon found himself kissing her back. Jazz held back giggles at the sight of her brother and their guests lip lock. Soon the two broke the kiss and Ember gazed at Danny. "i love you Danny." Danny was lost for words. Ember looked at him for a while and smiled. "something wrong?" she asked making Danny blush.
Danny stuttered. "w-w-well…." Ember smiled caressing his cheek. "might be the night talking but lets face it Danny were bonded due to the law of the ghost zone. Might as well make the best of it." before Danny could protest he found himself kissing Ember again. Jazz smirked turning away and sneaked her way upstairs. "best to leave the two lovebirds alone." she said to herself taking one more look at the two.
Danny broke the kiss looking at Ember. "why me though?" he asked. Ember smiled. "youre nice to me you treat me like a real gentleman would and you save me even though it wouldn't hurt me." Danny blushed as Ember placed a kiss on his cheek. He only smiled. "im just being the good guy is all Ember." Ember only smiled more. "exactly. Ill admit dipstick I may have had a small crush on you but now its gotten a lot bigger now." she grabbed the scruff of his suit coat smiling. "so do me a favor shut it and pucker up." the last thing Danny remembered was him and Ember lip locked before both passed out on the couch in each others arms.
Meanwhile.
Clockwork looked at the medallions again and back to one of the screens seeing Max Nightmare his eyes glaring red. "you saw this scene then?" he turned to see his guest looking at the picture. "yes. And you?" the figure looked up. "yes I love this part of the story. It explains why I made up the bonded law." clockwork nodded. "after I saw this I understood what you were referring too." the figure walked up. "wanna watch it again?" he asked. Clockwork smiled and pressed the switch on his staff triggering the video on the screen.
( 5 days later In the past)
Max lay on the rug near the fire place rubbing the scar on his eye. "feeling better?" he looked up and smiled at Amberlyn. "im okay. You?" she smiled sitting next to him. "if it weren't for that strange boy." she said. (had she looked at Max when she said this she would've seen him blush.) he looked to see her put her hands to her chest. "Nightmare. My knight in shining armor." she said to herself. "i hope one day I can meet him again." she said. She looked at Max looking in the fire. "you okay?" she asked. Max snapped out of his thoughts smiling. "oh..nothing." he said. Amberlyn smirked. "you are a horrible liar." Max was about to retort when Amberlyns parents called for dinner. After the meal Amberlyns father looked at Max. "you really have had it rough huh son?" he asked. Max smiled. "well ive been down on my luck lately."
the family talked all night later about the strange figure who had saved them. "Nightmare was his name." Amberlyn said smiling. The two adults smiled. "i think my little girl has her heart set on someone." her father said teasing her. "Daddy stop it." she shrieked making everyone laugh. It was later that night the two got ready for bed Max and Ember lay awake in their separate beds. "hey Max?" Amberlyn looked at her friend. "Yes?" Max replied. "tell me about your family. What are they like?" she waited for a reply and for a while there was silence. Until Max spoke up.
"my mother was a healer. She dealt with people who were sick hurt and all of that." Amberlyn looked at her friend in the dark. "what about your father?" she asked. Max only looked at the ceiling. "Max?" Amberlyn asked. After a while Max answered. "i have no father." he said dryly. Amberlyn frowned looking away. "so hes dead?" she asked. Max was silent again until a few minutes. "you could say that yes." Max was about to drift to sleep until he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. (without her noticing.) his eyes turned red and looked to see Amberlyn next to him. He was about to say something until he noticed she was asleep. "well ill tell her tomorrow."
farther in the woods not far from the familys home a small group was making their way down the trail. The leader looked at the home down on the hill. "Mr mastres?" he looked at the gentleman next to him. "yes Alex?" he asked. The hunter sat next to his boss cleaning his gun. "tell me what is so important about this hunt?" he asked. Mastres only smiled. "this boy is the son of Jack Nightingale. I want him dead just like his witch mother." he said snickering. "she rejected my love and affection for that Jack idiot and all it took was framing his son." he said with an evil smile. "ill show him how a real warlock should use his powers." he said to himself in his head. His eyes turned blood red in anticipation.
