Xavier looked at him and be agreed with him. He looked at Jared as he dropped back on his bed“You are really not going to stand up, are you?” Xavier asked him“Not really. I barely slept and I look like a mess. You know I can’t face the people if I look like this” Jared said“Fair point but you can’t sleep forever. You have a town meeting in four hours. After that, we would be driving down to the blue moon valley” he said“Yes, all the more reason why I should get all the rest I can possibly get now” Jared said“Well, I’m going to get breakfast because unlike you, Alice already woke up and she made breakfast already_ Xavier said“I will never understand how she can manage to be on her feet after all she has been through. I know that I would eventually have to tell her but I don’t know if I can risk her hating me more than she already does”. Jared said, with his eyes closed“Don’t tell me you’re actually planning on keeping it a secret for the rest of your life” Xavier asked“Keeping
This was the first time in a while that they’ve enjoyed each other’s company without having to involve sex in it. It was beautiful, just talking to her and getting to know her better. He noticed she was really pretty when she smiled and said had dimples on both sides. Her eyes were not brown but grey which everybody considered weird as hell but that was alright with him. It made her really beautiful still.“You should really check your closet more often instead of taking your clothes and running out as usual. I get you new stuffs almost every time I go out but you never notice them because you always say fashion is for the jobless. Because you’re aloha and ruler of the quarter doesn’t mean your dress sense should be close to zero!” she said to him“I don’t say that!” he defended himself“Yes you do!” she said laughing at himHe rolled his eyes in a child like manner and walked to the mirror after she was done with him to put his hair in order.“You know Roland is waiting for you down
That was one thing Laura envied Louis for. For Laura, her super power as a witch was the fact that nobody could ever lie to her. She could tell when someone was lying to her and for Louis, it was the fact that she was never turned down by anybody. She would ask for things and get them immediately. It worked like magic for her and not for once has it failed her.“I don’t understand” Jared said“You really don’t need to. It’s witch’s business. You should prepare for your meeting with the people and you should take Louis along. Just Louis and Xavier, no other person” Laura said“Why?” Alice asked“Things might go out of hand and the less people you have with you, the less damage there is. The two of them are more than enough to protect you. I would stay with Alice, just incase things go out of hand” she said“That works for me” Jared said“Also, you should really finish up with the meeting and head back if we are going to find Roland’s son before the first hour of the evening. Something
The crowd murmured for a bit before everywhere became silent again.“It is for your safety, not mine. Also, if you would like to join us in defending our valley, then you should stay behind and meet me here. This same time, next week. It is not a compulsory call to duty. It is your choice to stay and fight or to leave. I wouldn’t want anybody getting hurt and leaving their family behind because I ordered them to do so. Lastly, if you have Roland’s son, I need him returned to his father” he saidHe got down from the podium and walked towards his car where Xavier and Louis caught up with him. He took a deep breath before turning to face them“You did amazing out there” Xavier said“I don’t know, Xavi. I don’t know how long I can keep these people from acting out on their own free will. I am not giving them the results they want” Jared said“If you did that, that would make them the ruler of the valley and not you. You can’t always give them what they want” Xavier said to himJared nodde
The ride down to the house was silent. When he got there, he met Alice and Laura talking“Tell me you found Roland’s son!” Jared said“We did but there is a problem” Alice said to him“Oh, fuck. What is the problem?” Jared asked“The boy is dead. He was found right here in the valley. Roland was right all along. Someone had his son and now the boy is dead. We have to find a way to get Roland before he gives his approval to the witches!” Laura said“Where is the body now?” Jared said“It is on the way back to the blue moon valley. Roland’s men got to it before I did. When I got there, his men were already wrapping him up. That would be a big issue for all of us” Laura saidJared turned to look at Xavier“Get Roland in the phone. He must be grieving his son right now. If I have a chat with him, I might be able to get through to him. He looks like a very reasonable person. If he can see things from my side, things might be easier for us on this side” Jared saidXavier nodded at him and p
She held his gaze and looked at her“I mean, yeah. We have been apart for a while now and it has been affecting us really bad. I want us to fix things, I want is to fix our broken bonds. We are expecting a child soon and I don’t want my child growing up, thinking that I don’t love his or her mother. I do love you. At times, it is just hard to express how I feel because of my past and all of that but never doubt the fact that I do love you and I would do anything to make sure that you are fine!” He said to her“Jared, you are asking me to stay in your room, not asking me to marry you” she teased“I know, I just need you to know how much you mean to me. I hope nothing ever comes between us because I want to build a home with you. When all of this is over, I would ask you to marry me” he said to herShe smiled at him and he lifted her face to meet his. He kissed her softly then he applied a little pressure to the kiss. She leaned into him and let him take the lead. His hands moved from h
“I don’t understand. What do you mean by she was drawn to it?” Xavier asked him“I mean, literally drawn to it. It called her. She wasn’t herself. It was like something had taken over her body. It wasn’t normal” Jared said“Well, I don’t know what that is but let’s hope Laura and Louis have an explanation for this madness. In the mean time, we should find a way to clear the valley. I don’t have a good feeling about all of this and I think that the only way to secure the people is by clearing up the valley and letting them move out” Xavier said“Huh, I guess so. Call me crazy but the Crescents have been too silent. I need you to go down to that valley and check on them. It is unusual not to hear from Ethan for such a long while” Jared said“I think so too. When do you want me to go down there?” Xavier asked“Today or tomorrow. I have way too much on my mind but I can’t leave a valley on its own for so long. Something always goes wrong when I do that” Jared said to him“It takes a lot t
He looked at her. She was always trying to help him out no matter what. He walked up to her and held her arms before kissing her on her forehead“I guess a distraction is exactly what I need. Get dressed and meet me in the living room. I would wait for you there” he saidShe squealed and her eyes shone with excitement as she ran to her bedroom to change her clothes. She came down in a beautiful black dress and he looked at her, surprised“I bought you this dress. Where have you been hiding it?” He asked her“I wasn’t hiding it. I just thought it would be too revealing and it wouldn’t be my size but I guess I was wrong” she said“Yes, you were. Come on, you need to show off this beauty and..”He wasn’t done talking when the front door opened and Roland walked into the house“Jared! You have to help me! I woke up this morning and I couldn’t find my son anywhere. It is like he vanished from his bed and he is no where to be found!” he said“I know it wasn’t going to take so long before so
