TheClosetKidnapper

Jace I run a hand through my hair and sit back, taking a deep breath.

Jace That's it? She's not going to say anything back? I nod back and look down.

Jace I study her, hesitating before taking her hand, "I'm sorry."

Jace I hesitate before going to sit beside her.

Jace I watch her, wondering how to stop this tension.

Jace I watch her before following her and leaning against the doorway, "You know that I don't always react to things right away. I have a... delayed reaction system."

Jace I study her, "Been what?"

Jace I study her, "And you didn't, when you were first changed? Why don't I get one moment to flip out like you were? How is that?"

Jace I look at her, "Why?"

Jace I keep my eyes closed and swallow again. But I'm the same monster that ripped his other brother away from him. I'm the same one who killed his mother ...

Jace I swallow, "Nic... he had a bad experience with them before Hermes claimed him. What if..." What if my brother ends up afraid of me?

Jace I hold her close afterwards, keeping my eyes closed, "How are we going to tell them?"

Jace I don't argue, closing my eyes as I sink my fangs into her neck. I take a mouthful or two before pulling back.

Jace I nod and swallow, "Drink, Ray. We're both unstable right now."

Jace I blink my eyes back to blue and look down at Rayah, setting a hand on the side of her face.
