Mount Olympus [6]

Jace

I flash a smile, "Good, 'cause I was gonna say I didn't remember having three..."

`````
Chase

I shrug, "Because it's wrong.. what he does."

Rayah

I sigh, "I'm going crazy."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jessa

I nod and kiss his cheek before burying my face in my knees again, them bruised, "Thank you."

Jace

I smile, "Don't worry. I am too."

````
Chase

I flash a smile and watch her, nodding.

Rayah

I smile, "No your not."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jessa

I sense him here and look up, swallowing before I hear a huge knock on the door.

Jace

I shrug, "I might be."

````
Chase

She looks up and I don't move, looking at the door.

Rayah

Someone knocks on the door and I stand to answer it.

,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jessa

I hesitate before making my way back downstairs.

Jace

I walk with Rayah, noticing Jessa come down.

````
Chase

I follow her, having a bad feeling.

Rayah

A man stands there, eyes landing on Jessa, "Can I have my daughter back?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jessa

I swallow, backing up a little, and he looks at me, "Your in big trouble. Home. Now," He mutters.

I look at him, "Home? You've never been home. Ever since mom left...it's never been home."

Jace

I stay where I am, knowing we technically had no rights to his daughter but that I wasn't going to let anything happen.

````
Chase

I hesitate before taking Jessa's hand for support and comfort, Jace standing protectively by the door.

Rayah

I study him, "How could you hurt her like that?" I ask, eyes red, "You...You can't just..." he covers my mouth and looks me in the eyes, putting me to sleep. I drop to the ground.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jessa

I watch him deal with Rayah as he stomps in and grabs my arm, flipping me over his shoulder, damaging my wing in the process. I scream and he covers my mouth as well, "Shut up."

Jace

i check on Rayah quick before turning to him and making him drop his daughter, sending several gusts of light his way.

````
Chase

I watch, helpless, and swallow.

Jessa

He drops me and I start crying as he dissapears. My wing broken, I bring my knees to my face.

Chase

I hesitate before dropping behind Jessa and pulling into a hug without hurting her wing. Jace tends to his wife before looking at us and coming over. He looks over her wing and swears under his breath.

"It's gonna be okay," he tells her. "That can be fixed. He won't hurt you anymore."

Jessa

I bury my face in Chase's shirt and feel my wing, "I-It hurts."

Chase

Jace nods and stands, leaving us for a moment. When he comes back, he has bandages.

"It's going to," he says. "But it'll be over soon."
