My Warlock Mate.

(Chapter Seven.)

(Jaycee)

I walked into my house, with a smile on my face. My family was in the dinning room, eating dinner my mom made. I threw my bag on the couch as I walked in and put my hands on my mom shoulder, kissing her cheek, “Smell delicious, mom.”, I said, going to my daddy next and kissed his cheek, wrapping my arms around his neck.

My dad chuckled as he chewed on some steak, “Someone seems really happy today.”.

“Well, she isn't scarfing her face down in cookie dough, so she must be.”, Jace said and I glared at him for a moment, before uncrossing my arms from my dad neck.

“Oh, Jace, I'm not going to let you ruin my day.”, I said as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of green tea from the fridge and walked back into the dinning room.

“What happened today?”, my mom asked. “That got you in such a good mood?”.

I tighten my lips together, trying to hide my smile, “These are the few times I like when your right, mom.”, I said to her and she looked a little confused. “I hanged out with Hermes today, I think I'm this close,”, I said, my thumb and pointer finger only an inch apart, “and he's going to love me forever.”.

My father choked on his food and my brother faked barf, “Where's my weird sister?”, he asked. “Your not her, your some love sick puppy.”.

I glared at him, but I was in so much of a good mood to let him ruin anything, “You'll understand one day, Jace.”.

He rolled his eyes and went back to eating his food. My dad chuckled, “Jaycee, sweet heart, don't you think your jumping to so much conclusion, it's a little early for love, don't you think?”.

I shook my head once, “No.”, I said. “I've known Hermes since third grade.”.

“Ah, technically, you known him for two and your just getting to know him after all this time.”, he said. “Love is to early to talk about.”.

“Says you.”, my mom said. “Jaycee is a girl version of you, Scott. Don't listen to him, Jaycee, your father was a 'love sick puppy' I might say as a teenager also.”.

My dad stared at her, “Couldn't take my side on this, Abigail? Jaycee is to young, she's still a baby.”.

“She's seventeen, Scott.”, my mom said. “A year old then when you met me.”.

“It's okay, mom.”, I said. “Daddy just protective, but he'll have to let go soon. And Hermes and I will be happy, he'll love you both, and we'll all be happy.”, I said as my smile grew.

Jace scuffed, “What about me?”.

“Oh, well, you'll be there to...maybe.”, I sarcastically said and rolled his eyes again, playing on his phone now as he ate.

“So when do we get to meet him?”, my mom asked.

I shrugged and took a sip of my drink, “When we get to know each other again. But for right now, I can just tell you about him.”.

“Great.”, Jace sarcastically said. “I think I prefer to eat your meat loaf dinner then hear this.”.

I leaned towards him, growling, “No one wants you around to listen anyways.”.

“Jaycee.”, my mom warned, remembering she doesn't want both us fighting. “So tell us.”.

“Well, under all the toughness, he's still a real funny guy.”, I said. I told a little about what I know about him, like where he lived before coming back here and a few little details I know about Hermes. I decided to leave out about him being a warlock out for right now, not sure how my dad would really react. When I realized Hermes was a warlock, I wasn't very happy. So what makes my dad will be? I just have to give it a little time.

“Someone does sound in love.”, my mom said, forgetting about her food. “Oh, I'm so happy I could talk about this to my daughter!”, she said to herself excitedly. I understood what she meant, I know my mom life wasn't very great in the past. She didn't have a good mother like how she is. “Oh, to be young again.”.

“Mmm, Abby, that was delicious.”, my dad said, changing the subject.

(Hermes)

In my dreams tonight, I dreamed up when I rose up from the lake, meeting a laughing Jaycee. I was remember what happened apparently cause I splashed her. She quickly splashed me back and we did kept doing that until I gave up.

I was laughing, “Okay, okay! I give.”.

She grinned and went back to floating, looking peaceful. Her dark hair was spread out all around her like a halo. She turned her head and looked at me, her beautiful smile appear, making me smile back. “I haven't had this much fun in a long time.”.

I opened my mouth, but their was suddenly howling. I turned my head and looked around, wondering where it was coming from.

She chuckled, “Don't worry, it's just my dumb cousins. Their mad I'm beat them here and since you're with, they don't want to be around. They wont show themselves to humans unless your with me—like, with with me.”.

“Oh.”, I said. I made my body float on the water next to her and looked up at the blue clouded sky. I heard nothing but our breathing.

She broke it then, “I tried to look for you.”, she said and I turned my head to look at her. “You don't know how annoying it was, not knowing what you look like or how you were. You have no social network.”.

“I hate the internet.”, I said and she looked at me like I was crazy.

“What?”.

I shrugged, “It's stupid, everyone uses it to much. We witches and warlock have better stuff to do then surfing the internet all day long.”.

“So what? You raise the dead and talk to the dead?”, she asked, chuckling. I splashed her a little and she giggled.

“Of course not.”, I said. “You watch to many movies.”.

She wiped across her face and opened her mouth to say something, but she was suddenly pulled into the water. I gasped, moving from floating and started to panic. This isn't what happened! Where'd the hell did she go?

I took a deep breath and dunked myself into the water, my eyes opened and I didn't see her. I looked around in the water until I couldn't breath and I came back up, looking around. Some splashed and I heard screaming behind me. I turned around and noticed Jaycee flying in the air. I gasp hard, my blood going cold.

'She knows about you!?”, I heard Lucinda voice. “Traitor!”.

My heart was beating fast as I twirled around in the water, trying to find her, but I couldn't see her.

“You don't understand!”, I said back in my head. “Let her go!”.

She scuffed, “Your not suppose to tell humans about yourself, Hermes! I know you, you would never tell her our secret.”.

“Just let her go!”, I yelled in my head.

“See you soon, Hermes.”, she said, confusing me before I heard Jaycee scream again, but it sounded like it was getting closer. My head snapped up and she was falling out of the air. I swam over to where it looked like she was going to fall, hoping to catch her to ease the fall so she wouldn't get hurt.

But when she was only a second away, everyone faded away and I snapped up from my bed, sweating. I got up from my bed and opened my wind, letting the breeze in and brought my hand up to my hair, my breathing becoming steady.

What did she mean 'see you soon'?

I had a bad feeling in my guts now.
