Ravenclaw Tavern [2]

Nic

Wait... I glance at Jace before shaking my head and looking at Jackie, "What happens after this is over? Do they go back to their old selves?"

Jackie

I shake my head, "Uh...No...it goes as the story does...in they're dreams."

Rayah looks up, sighing, "I don't feel good."

"Me neither, Ray. Just deal with it," I mutter.

She glares at me before looking down again.

Nic

My heart sinks. No more Jacey? But he was so much easier to handle...

Jackie

Rayah looks up at me again, "I...I seriously don't feel good..."

I look at her, "What do you mean?"

She doesn't answer, standing and rushing into the bathroom.

I swallow and look at Jace then her, Well. This is...gonna be hard...

Nic

Jace hesitates before following her, going to comfort her. I glance at Jackie, "So... he'll be older than me from now on?"

Jackie

I nod, "Yeah..."

Nic

I sigh and slip into a depression, facing forward.

Jackie

I sigh and watch him before looking down, She's only four...she can't go through this. She's only a kid...

I glance into the bathroom before having an idea, wondering if I cab mature her her brain enough to handle all this.

Nic

I glance at the bathroom. He was like my own kid. My little boy...

Jackie

Rayah comes out, cuddling up next to me with her head on my lap, "I...I want mommy..."

I swallow, "You'll be fine."

She coughs and I smooth her hair back, glancing at Jace before deciding I should just mature her.

Nic

Jace comes back out and sits at my feet, curled up. I sigh and set a hand over his head, running it through his hair subconsciously.

Jackie

My little girl...

I look at Rayah, "Promise me something, Ray."

She looks up at me and nods, "Yus?"

"Don't change when I do this. Stay who you are. Dont...hold any of this against us...'cause it was none of our decisions."

She studies me and nods. I look into her eyes and add some growth Into her brain, her face growing more mature then adorable. I break away after a while and watch her. She blinks before looking around, swallowing.

Nic

I watch before looking at Jackie, "Could you... could you do that to Jace? If he has to be..."

Jackie

Rayah sits up and takes a deep breath, wrapping her arms around her stomach.

I look at Jace, "C'mere."

Nic

Jace looks up at me before I let go of him and nod. Slowly, he crawls to Jackie and swallows.
