"I know that I just...I think I could use some time to myself." I told Jace as we wandered the library. Seeing the frown he gave me I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Do I need to repeat I am not going after my murderer?"

"Yes you do. I know you're hurting from what you saw in your memories but going after him won't bring your family back." Jace told me and it was my turn to narrow my eyes, unable to believe he'd bring my parents into this argument.

"I know that, mind mage. Stop acting like you know everything about me because you don't." I snapped, moving back to the table with a book randomly pulled from the shelf. I slumped in a nearby chair, dumping the book on the table with a thud and Jace actually flinched. "Look I know you want to help me but right now I could use some time alone." I sighed and Jace just shook his head at me, sitting on the chair opposite.

"Sorry but I can't do that, Ailis. Now that I know you're a planeswalker I need to make sure you don't planewalk." Jace told me and I groaned, eyes narrowed at the telepath. "It's for your own good." He added, looking at the book sitting on the table.

"Okay stop sounding like my dad. I don't even know exactly how I planeswalked when we arrived in Ravnica but you seem to think you know everything about me. I'm going for a walk now and if you try and stop me, Jace..." I trailed off thinking about a good threat until he crossed his arms, eyes glowing a pale blue.

"Ailis, stop acting like a child." Jace snapped and I growled, rising from the chair to glare at him. I opened my mouth a few choice words already on the tip of my tongue just as we both heard a knock and Jace turned, forgetting that I was still in the room. Before he could stop me I rushed forward nearly knocking him on his backside as I made my way quickly to the door as it swung open to reveal Gideon.

The warrior gave me a stare as I brushed past him, muttering a quick apology as I left the room. Confused he turned to see Jace standing at the table, his eyes no longer glowing and with his finger rubbing his temple. "Did something happen?" Gideon asked, looking back into the hallway.

"Ailis knows what happened to her parents and if I don't stop her she'll go after their murderer." Jace explained and Gideon nodded, not entirely sure what the telepath was talking about. "I read her mind, Gideon and I saw her last day as a human." He sighed, his hand moving from his forehead.

"Maybe she's still in Ravnica." Gideon suggested and Jace paused on his way to the door.

"Ailis can't just run away again. If she goes after him she'll get herself killed...again. I think." Jace answered and just for a moment Gideon actually smiled at him. "What?"

"You have no idea if that's true do you?" Gideon asked and when Jace didn't respond except to narrow his eyes Gideon chuckled. "Let's go and find her." He told Jace who quickly nodded and together they rushed after me.

Right now I had managed to make my way outside, briefly staring up at the bright blue sky as I considered where to go next.

I could just planeswalk out of Ravnica...if I knew exactly how I did it last time. Frankly I let Jace guide me so he must have know what I was back then...even if I didn't. Not yet anyway.

"Where am I going to go?" I whispered to myself, still staring up at the sky as if it could tell me. "All I want is my parents back and my humanity. Guess I can't have anything I want." I muttered, ashamed to feel tears springing into my eyes. Wiping them away I gazed at my pale green hand only to glare at it. "Now I'm a freak!" I snapped, my arm falling to my side before I started to run again determined to put as much distance between me and the mind mage also known as Jace.

Running around Ravnica had seemed like a good idea at first but after an hour of searching Jace halted and Gideon nearly plowed into him only just skidding to a halt. "Sorry but this is getting us nowhere." Jace apologized and Gideon stared as his eyes glowed blue. "I know Ailis is still in the city but where...there!" He exclaimed as he pointed towards a small archway. Without another word he took off again, puffing and not for the first time Gideon wished Jace had taken his offers to train him a little more seriously.

Right now I stood under a stone archway, a little out of breath which just proved how strange I was. "A zombie that gets out of breath? What kind of sick joke is this?" I muttered as I looked around to find a group of people wandering close to me. Swallowing I moved back further as they stepped past not even seeing me due to the shadows and my cloak that I pulled tighter around me, still unsure if they could see me.

Thankfully they didn't but it left me shaking at how close I'd come to be discovered. I didn't emerge from my hiding place until a few minutes had passed though as I did I felt something in my head. "Jace, what did you promise?" I snapped, stepping out of the shadows as Jace and Gideon appeared.

"I didn't want to, Ailis but you ran away." Jace explained, his eyes returning to normal as I crossed my arms.

"So? I'm allowed to walk away from you if I want to. You were afraid I'd planeswalk away weren't you?" I pointed out. The silence that followed confirmed my suspicions and I narrowed my eyes at him. "Maybe you should just trust me enough not to run away." I muttered and he sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's not difficult to do."

"Ailis, I want to trust you won't run away but..." Jace started and I raised an eyebrow at him, arms now crossed. "But I'm worried about you."

"Yeah so you say. Frankly I think you're worried your mystery might run away from you." I protested and Jace opened his mouth again, his eyes starting to glow and I stepped forward. "Don't you dare use your powers against me."

Gideon, who had been watching this heated exchange for the last few minutes, cleared his throat. I turned my head at the same time as Jace, whose eyes changed back and he sighed.

"Maybe we should return to the library." He suggested and I raised both eyebrows at the warrior. "Lavinia's been looking for you." He added and in an instant Jace paled, bringing a smirk to my face.

"Huh so you're scared of her? Figures. Well I might just head there and tell her where you are." I replied turning around and with a smile on my face I started to rush towards the library, leaving Jace and Gideon to stare after me.

They soon caught up with me just as I reached the double doors leading into the library, Jace grabbing me by the arm just before I could knock. "Ailis, will you stop that? You're going to get me into trouble and that's the last thing I need right now." Jace hissed and I just smiled at him.

"Why is she mad at you?" I asked and he rubbed the base of his chin with his thumb. "Well?"

"I may have gotten a little behind in my paperwork." Jace admitted, releasing my hand and at his side Gideon crossed his arms. "I still have a few weeks work to sort through."

"Geeze how did you get so behind?" I asked getting a silent stare for my trouble. "Alright so be that way. I guess I could ask Lavinia." I replied, turning back to the doorway. But as I reached up to knock lightly on the door I felt a tug on my arm and in the blink of an eye I found myself in another room, Jace standing there with his hand still clutching my hand. Blinking the spots in front of my eyes I started to wonder why Jace had teleported us away as his eyes ceased glowing.

"Ailis, why do you keep making my life difficult?" Jace sighed and I gave him a one-armed shrug, waiting for the telepath to release my arm.

"Maybe because you're so fun to tease?" I told him and he shook his head at me, finally relaxing his grip on my arm. "You didn't tell me where you teleported us to."

The mind mage's reply made my cheeks darken in a blush though I couldn't stop the smile that crossed my lips at that piece of information. "Your room?"
