Chapter 12 Jerome

I was running so fast, I jumped over bushes and other things swiftly, as well as dodge the trees of the wilderness. I was blinded by the darkness yet knew exactly were I was going...

"I am sorry to bother at such a late hour, but I don't suppose you could point me in the detection of Jerome's place?"

"Of course, he is in the on your left," I thanked her and went to see my beloved old friend.

I climbed the vine leading up to Jerome's tree-house. it was fairly big with a nice sized patio. I reached the top and knocked on the door, in which it immediately opened. Jerome's mouth was to the floor, eyes wide.

"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies,"

"Well then it's worth it to see you, it's been a while, eh?" We were formed in a close hug, at one point I think Jerome cried. Never the less I was met with my old, bacca, friend.

--------------

"Jason, I am taking you out of here, relax man," Jason was freaking out about Flora in my arms, he refused to leave.

"But what if she is here! She could die if we leave, or..." I cut Jason off by picking him up bridal style and heading to the place I thought he would be safest.

-------------------

"So Flora, as much as I love seeing you, why are you here?" I hated to tell him but I refused to lie.

"It's a long story, I will tell you later but I don't suppose you have an apple for meh cuz I hungry," Jerome laughed and walked me to his kitchen. I say on a bar stool over looking him run around the large space.

"Here, and you can stay in your former room if you like, all your old stuff is still there," I thanked him and took a bite of the apple. Notch how I missed food. Being there prevented me from... my thoughts were interrupted my Mitch holding Jason in his arms.

"My Notch, set him on the couch, I'll be right back," Jerome went to the other room to grab materials.

I came to Jason's limb body, I grabbed his hand and squeezed lightly hoping for a return I never got.

"Mitch what happened!" Jerome came running back.

"We went to save Flora from this shack and Jason became emotionally unstable. He thought he saw Flora but wasn't sure. Before he could process it he took a blow from a dude named Vincent," I felt my eyes brim with tears. This is all my fault, why must I have gone? Why must my human emotions take such toll on the people I love? All these questions yet no answer. In such short time frame I lost it.

"Why must I be so idiotic! My mental capabilities are wearing, how much more can I take before they all fear me, I only wish to protect them from the powers I hold but I can't!"
