Ravenclaw Tavern [2]

Nic

"Uh oh," Jace repeats in a whisper, looking around.

I flash a smile and shrug, glancing back at Jackie, "It's better than a*s... or sh*t, which he's heard me say a lot."

"Sh*t," he repeats.

I stop and shake my head. Good going, Nic.

Jackie

I smile, "A*s is Ray's favorite...and threatens me with that word. She also likes the word sexy and dirty...which I don't really think is a good sign..."

Ray giggles, "A*s, a*s,a*s,a*s,a*s!"

I sigh, "See?"

Nic

I chuckle. Jace looks at me, confused.

"What sexy mean?" he asks.

Oh god.

Jackie

I smile, "Very, very, very, beautiful. In a unique way..." I say, glancing at Rayah. She smiles up at me and I shake my head at her, "Don't give me that innocent face."

Nic

"Don't repeat it, Jae," I add, "Please don't."

He pouts and tries to reach for his drink again.

Jackie

I smile but stay silent, yawning.

Nic

I help Jace with his drink and get a bad feeling, glancing back at the door.

Jackie

I scoop Ray up and stand, "Me and Ray are gonna rent a room. See ya."

Nic

Oh this is an Inn too? I glance around and nod, deciding it wouldn't be so bad to take a rest, "See ya."

Jackie

I get the keys to a room and look at Nic, "If you need anything then come to room 16."

I walk up the stairs and unlock the door, Rayah running in.

Nic

I nod and rent a room for tonight too, ignoring the feeling and knowing I could handle whatever comes our way. Receiving the key, I head up to the room and lie Jace down for bed. He watches me check the room before deciding to close his eyes and fall asleep. Sighing, I sit on the edge of the bed and look at the window.

Jackie

I fall asleep before Rayah, but have a sick feeling in my stomach afterwards. Around an hour later, I wake and look at my side to find Rayah gone. I glance around the room but find her no where, standing and checking in fbe bathroom nd closets before swearing and realizing the lock on the door is broken off. I run out and downstairs, freaking out before calling Jess and telling her what happened.

Nic

I hear Jackie calling for Rayah and make sure Jace is asleep before stepping out into the hallway and finding her down in the lobby, "What's wrong?"

Jackie

I look at Nic with a panicked expression, "I-I can't find her...the lock on the door got broken off and someone took her..." I say, crying.

Nic

I wipe her face and nod, looking around, "Shh, s'alright. I'll find her. Just, do me a favor, and go back to my room up there and make sure Jace stays put. I'll find her, I promise."
