Chapter Four

Jason is pacing when she gets into the room, immediately she steps out, he's on her.

"Are you okay?", he asks, turning her and looking her all over.

"What happened to you? I swear if they touched a hair on your body they_"

"I'm fine Jace", she interrupts.

"Can I take a moment to sit? I'm kinda tired".

He takes her arm and leads her to the sofa. She notices the room then.

Dammn! She has never been in The Royal. It is the most expensive hotel in all of New York.

Celebrities stay there all the time.

She could totally see what the fuss was all about. The chandelier alone could probably buy her entire wardrobe.

She could see a blurry view of the city from the floor to ceiling windows and she really itches to go check it out.

"Baby girl we need to know what happened with you" Jason started, "I knew you were shocked by all that happened the other day but I thought you'd be wise enough to know better and come to us sooner" he ended and she could hear the annoyance in his voice.

"Jace, maybe you want to go easy" Lucas said, obviously trying to calm him down.

"She should have known better Luke" Jason retorted, not sounding appeased in the slightest.

He faces her "We can't help you if you don't let us" he tells her.

"Sarah", she says quietly.

"What?" they both ask.

"That's my name, Sarah" she says more audibly.

They both look confused, so she decides to explain.

"You've both not mentioned my name since we met and I just realized I didn't introduce myself so I decided to rectify that now".

They both look stunned, suddenly Jason bursts into laughter, she's surprised and with the look on Lucas' face, he is as well.

Lucas turns to look at her slowly with wide eyes "you are a miracle worker Sarah", he says.

"Huhn_"

"If you asked me to give you ten ways that could have gone, I wouldn't have guessed that, not in a million years" he says.

Jason is now wiping his eyes as his laughter subsides "Nice to meet you Sarah" he says.

"Yeah. Now about me coming to meet you, I knew I should have done that sooner but I really wanted to believe all this was a lie, I'm sorry."

"You're glad you're alive, I wouldn't have accepted your apology", Jason says with mock anger.

Lucas just gives her a smile, fuck!

These guys are fiiine.

"Now you need to tell us what happened," he says.

"It was nothing much. I was coming from work when I sensed them, I knew they were from the same person because of their smell" she doesn't notice the guys share a look as she continues.

"There were seven of them this time around though_"

"Seven?" Lucas asks and she nods in reply.

"How do you know there were seven of them?" Jason asks.

"I could feel them."

"You can feel people?" he asks in astonishment.

"Well…yes. I could feel you both that first night and I didn't run away from not only because I was so tired but cause I knew you weren't dangerous…exactly" she ends with a tilt of her head.

The guys look at her with mirrored expressions of confusion that make her smile.

"Common guys, you are not exactly pure. I could feel that I was safe with you but we all know you're dangerous as well. You killed four guys in seconds for crying out loud" she says throwing her hands in the air.

"Let's talk about that for a second, how much experience do you have doing stuffs like that?" she asks with her torso bent forward like they were about to share the secrets of immortal life with her.

"How about we talk about the guys that are after you instead?" Jason asks.

"Why are you so concerned? You seem to be more shaken than me and I was the one that was almost killed" she asks him.

"Until I know you're safe, I'm going to be more shaken than you."

"And why is that? You weren't even the one that took care of me when I got here. Why show your concern now" she asked with obvious anger.

"I can't tell you that yet. Last time we told you a few truths and you ran away, we don't have much time left some can't risk you running away again." he says bitingly.

"Guys, we're not getting anywhere with this. What is this? A lovers tiff?" Lukas asks them both and they turn to him.

"You said you can sense people right?" he asks her.

"Yes."

The guys look at each other and she looks from one guy to the other.

"Why? Is that bad thing?"

"Not a bad thing_" Jason says.

"A strange thing" Lucas finishes as he looks at her.

"No one in our world can do that" Jason tells her.

"Maybe because I'm the Witch Supreme?" she asks, trying to give a reason for her ability.

"I don't think your mother could do that" he says.

Her expression changes at his words. She looks like a lot is going through her mind as she stares at the ground.

"What's wrong?" Jason asks her.

"It's…my mum, no…", she stops and shakes her head slightly "...my parents, are they…are…are they still alive?" she asks as she lifts her head.

If they were humans, they wouldn't have heard her quiet voice.

Her voice strikes an emotion in Jason, he wants to just hold her and never let go.

"I don't know baby girl, Sheila abducted your mother and we never heard from her again" he tells her.

"And my dad?" she asks in her quiet voice.

"He's dead, died in battle 47 years ago" he says.

The sob she lets out at that tears him apart. He hates how helpless he feels.

"If, just if, my mother is alive, I'd love to see her" she tells him.

He can't help it as he goes to stand in front of her and goes on his knees.

Holding her face he says, "And you will, as soon as we get to the Otherworld we'll make findings and I promise you, if your mother is still alive we'll rescue her".

She looks into his blue eyes, the gold in his eyes are now more vivid than the blue, like they multiplied, and believes down to her bone marrows that he'd keep his promise.

"I love your eyes, they're really pretty" she tells him and he smiles.

She feels his smile in every fucking part of her body.

"I'd love for our children to have eyes as beautiful as yours" she says and doesn't realize what she just said until she hears him chuckling.

She pulls her head from his hands and says hurriedly "Oh my God! What was that? I didn't mean that".

They guys burst into laughter.

"Don't worry baby girl, all members of the royal family have eyes like mine so when we have children, they'd definitely have eyes like mine" he assures her.

Her eyes widen at that "I'm not going to marry you" she says, her stuttering voice betraying her.

"We'll see about that" he says as he rises.

"Luke, how soon can we leave?" he asks.

"I'd say tonight Your Grace but, maybe she has people she wants to give her farewells. I'll have them open the gates tomorrow night" he replies.

Turning to her Jason says "I know you'd have loved ones here but you have only tomorrow to say goodbye baby girl".

"That's fine, I don't have anyone. Maybe Alice".

"How can you not have anyone?" he asks with obvious confusion.

"I possess abilities no one in my world possesses. I even have one that no one in both worlds possess. No matter how much I try to hide them, they'll be exposed one day and I'd have to explain them to my friends. There is no way I can explain possessing abilities when I don't even know how I got them, now I do but I didn't," she says without a pause.

"I chose not to look like a freak and lived a solitary life" she concludes as she stands up.

"I need to get some rest, where's my room?" she asks and when no one replies her she looks at them.

They're both looking at her with gentle faces and her heart melts a bit.

"Guys, I'm good, trust me. I got used to it."

"I wish you didn't have to darling," Luke says.

"I'm really sorry you lived your life not knowing who you are, baby girl".

"I no longer have to, right?"

"Absolutely" they both say and she chuckles

.

"My room?"

"Pick anyone you want" Jason says and she goes into the door on her right.

She's too tired to look around and just goes to lie in the bed, seconds later she's asleep
