~ FIFTEEN DAYS LATER ~ END OF JULY ~

~ FAMILY LAND ~ OUT IN THE GARDEN ~

Stefan and Artemis took her parents to the airport to return to Greece and settle the final details before their move in September.

JJ stayed behind at his own request to spend some quality time with his grandfather, whom he adores. In fact, he adores to drive him crazy with his pranks, like now where he flies like a condor among the towering trees and Jace tries in vain to talk some sense into him.

Jace: JJ, get down here right now!

JJ: Come and get me, old man.

Jace: Old man? How dare you, you little angel punk!

Mary: LANGUAGE, HARRONATE!

Jace: What? Didn't you hear him? He called me old.

Mary: He's a baby, Prince. To him, we're all old.

Jace: I don't know about you, Angel, but I'm not old.

JJ lowers himself a little and flies over Jace's head, who's fuming.

JJ: What's the matter, old man? Are you coming or do you need a walker?

Mary: Shame on you, JJ. Who taught you to talk to your grandfather like that?

JJ: Dad.

Jace: If I get my hands on your father, he'll regret it.

JJ: You can't touch my dad. My dad is great.

Jace: Your dad is my son.

JJ: Semantics.

JJ nudges Jace and sticks his tongue out at him, who looks to Mary, who's trying hard not to laugh.

Jace: That's it! Now I'm going to show you!

Jace spreads his wings and takes off to fly after his grandson, who laughs loudly as he flies away from him.

JJ: Watch out you don't break a wing, old man!

Jace: If I catch you, you little punk, I'll pluck you out one feather at a time!

Mary bursts out laughing as she sees the two Jace of her life laughing as they chase each other in the air. Then the feeling that someone is watching her makes her turn her head to Sebastian, who's sullenly walking toward her. A shiver runs down her spine as she stands up and walks toward him.

Sebastian: Mariam ...

Mary: You called me Mariam. That means you're not Sebastian, my other half in mischiefs, but Guardian, right?
