Mount Olympus [6]

Rayah

I pull away before she can take to much, "Is it alright if you guys share a room?"

,,,,,,,,,,
Jessa

I look at Chase, not caring either way.

Jace

I walk to Rayah's side when she pulls back.

````
Chase

I shrug, "I-I'm okay with it."

Rayah

I nod and tell them directions to their room.

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

I follow their directions and get there with him, sighing. I plop on the floor by the window and take my face in my hands, my wings twitching.

Jace

I wrap an arm around Rayah and watch them go.

```
Chase

I follow Jessa and hesitate before sitting beside her again.

Rayah

I watch them go, "So sad."

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

I glance at Chase, not sure what to say.

Jace

I look at Rayah, "Who did that to her?"

````
Chase

I look at Jessa as well, my left wing spazzing out, "I'm sorry."

Rayah

"Her dad," I tell him, walking to the couch, "Her mom left when she was just a baby."

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

"For what?" I ask, shivering.

Jace

I look at where the two went, "I'll kill him if I ever see him. That's just wrong."

````
Chase

I take a blanket from one of the beds and drape it over her, "Whatever happened to you."

Rayah

I nod, "You should've seen her before. She was way worse. She...she had a black eye and a scar running across her lips, one of her wings broken."

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

I study him, cuddling into him and not knowing any better, "Things happen."

Jace

I shake my head and sit back down.

`````
Chase

I hesitate before wrapping an arm around her shoulders gently, nodding.

Rayah

I swallow, "She's amazing though. She never hurts people. She's really polite and...and just...just think of Rye grown up. She's just like that."

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

I sigh, "I don't even know why he does it to me. I never did anything to him."

Jace

I pull her on my lap and nod, swallowing as well, "I'd rather not picture our girl like that. It's horrible to anyone, but I'd rather not picture my first born baby going through all that..."

`````
Chase

I study her, "Then don't go back."

Rayah

I nod, "She's like my fourth daughter though. I treat her like one."

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

I look at him, "He's gonna come for me if I do," I tell him, "He's gonna do worse then he already has when he finds me."

Jace

I think, "Wait... we have three other daughters?"

``````
Chase

I shake my head, "These people won't let that. I won't."

Rayah

I facepalm myself, "I meant...I meant kids."

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

I bite my lip, "Why won't you? We just met."
