Dark Hearts (Golden Heart AU)

Chapter Forty-nine

Last time on DarkHearts: "She saw you Idiots!" Carlos Snapped. "We can't wait till morning."

Jay Grabbed his coat, "I'll go get the cane."

Evie grabbed hers. "I'll go get Uma. Gil, try to get some blood for Carlos. The smaller boy whipped around in question only to get punched in the jaw. "Jane." She peaked her head in, "Find the Beast Voodoo doll."

"One hour." Gil said with no room for argument before running out.

~~~Now~~~

Everyone splits off into separate directions. Jane's job was probably the easiest, she just had to rifle through Dolls until she found one that looked like the former king. It was also the most dangerous, if Jazzy got away from Carlos it would be bad. She heard a scream come from Jazzy as she quickly rifled through the dolls hoping not to be on the wrong end of her wrath.

Luna and Stella had bit down on Jazzy's arms as the girl was forcing her voodoo pins into her hands, later she would tell you this was keeping her from lashing out at Carlos. Luna and Stella's Jaws held her in pain and in place. She was so focused on the pain coming from the wolves, Carlos's magic, her hand, and her own head to cast any sort of spell. "I'm sorry Jazzy." Carlos whispered, kneeling down next to her. He brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear.

She screams and turns her light blue gaze on Carlos, Tears stream down her face and she sobs, "I'm scared, I'm so scared." She whispered. "Everything hurts."

He turned to Luna and Stella who were calm, he growled at them, and Luna nodded her head both releasing their jaws and stepping back. Carlos took the broken girl into his arms, pulling her away from her work desk and onto the floor with him. He ran his hand through her hair, and started pulling out the pins, "hey look at me," He made her face him. "It's okay, it's okay to be scared we'll get through this. We always do."

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Jane walking towards the bed, he growled at Luna and Stella. Luna Pounced on her and Stella took the doll and dropped it in Carlos' hand. He simply glazed at Jane, his eyes glowing red. She was so distraught she just gently pushed Luna off and left the room.

She bumped into Gil on the way out who gave her a questioning look before turning back to the room and understanding. He walked in and Carlos growled his eyes burning red, "This is for Jazzy man."

Carlos' glare doesn't subside, but he makes no move to attack Gil as he comes forward with a syringe. Carlos hissed but kept as much quiet as possible as to not disturb Jazzy.

"I'm sorry" Carlos' glare doesn't waver but his eyes dim. "I'm a mess, I've always been the throw away friend. I guess it felt great to have someone pay attention to me and when that felt threatened,"

"You lashed out at the one taking it, yeah I get it if it wasn't for the prophecy i would feel like a throw away friend as well. I have no romantic feelings for Jazzy, Gil. I'm playing the same game she is. I don't want to step on your territory. That sounds wrong, Jazzy's not territory but you know what I mean."

"Yeah, I get it. I'm still sorry."

"I forgive you, but I can't say Jazzy will." They both look down at the unconscious girl in his lap.

Jay on the other hand felt like he was very much in trouble as he sat in front of his old school principal and in between his two daughters. Freddie had a voodoo doll in hand that looked very much like him, and Celia was flicking her tarot cards between her hands, "Run through that again." Facilier demand his glare burned through his skin.

"Jazzy is in danger, if we don't help her there's no telling what could happen, she's under a mind mangle from an old Sorceress named Andreana, No one who's ever had the spell on them has lived past 27. It becomes permanent after the victim is 18 and the only way to break the spell is to use the magic of special and meaningful items. One of Jazzy's is your cane, she considers this her family more than anyone else."
