Mount Olympus [6]

*nods*

Rayah

Packing up Jace's things, I lock myself in our room. I don't look at any of it though, not wanting any memories to come back to me at this moment.

Once done with one box, I sit on our bed and take my face in my hands, a tear running down my cheek.

Chase/Jace

I stand before a house, something about it familiar. A deeper part of me weeps at the sight, but I don't allow it to show. Hesitantly, I carry myself up the porch and allow myself to knock on the door.

Rayah

Someone knocks on the door and I wipe my eyes before sucking it up and walking downstairs, the kids asleep. I hesitate before opening it.

Chase/Jace

My gods, I'm home, that annoying voice always with me sighs. His emotions course through my and my heart automatically flutters at the sight of the woman before me.

Rayah

I study the guy at the door, sniffling a little and crossing my arms over my stomach insecurely, "Can...Can I help you?"

Chase/Jace

Tell her a man named Jace sent you, the voice whispers. I hesitate before doing so, studying her.

Rayah

I choke at the mention of that name, looking down, "N-No. No one says that name in my house," I tell him, "And...he's gone. I-I think you have the wrong house," I say, wiping my eyes, "Sorry."

Chase/Jace

Something pulls over my mind and I'm pushed in the background, someone else in charge of my body and voice, "R-Ray, it's me."

Rayah

I hear that voice and shake my head, closing the door and locking it. I slide down the door and bring my head to my knees.

Chase/Jace

My hand goes to the door, but not from my doing, "Rayah, please. I-I've spent forever trying to find you again. Please."

Rayah

I stand and open it slowly, "Prove it's you."

Chase/Jace

Blue light forms instantaneously in my hand, scaring the shit out of me in the process, and forms the image of an old memory that I'd seen in a dream a few weeks ago.

Rayah

I watch, "It...it's you..."

Chase/Jace

My features shift and feel strangely fit, matching the voice that took over mine.

Rayah

I pull him into a hug, "I've missed you so much."
