Sun sits in his room.
Since the incident Jace closed of even more, not giving Sun any food.
Sometimes Jace comes in and gives him atleast a little bit to chew on, like right now.
"Here."
Jace says simply, pressing a plain piece of bread into Suns hand.
"Jace? Ehm..."
Sun hesitates not wanting to provoke Jace. But it affects the exact opposite.
"Speak up. I hate stuttering"
He says.
"Why do you just give me bread? H..how am I supposed to survive like this?"
Sun asks.
Jace ignores Suns question and leaves.
"HEY I ASKED YOU SOME-"
Sun gets cut of by a black flash over his eyes.
He wakes up in the evening, atleast 2-3 hours he was gone, but for him it felt like not even a second.
"What the hell is this..."
Sun mumbles to himself.
"I just want to go home...I miss you so much..."
He closes his eyes seeing his friends.
After a while he opens his eyes again and eventually eats the piece of bread.

Jace sits on the couch.
'You're doing good. Just lose the bond with him and our plan will be successful.'
The strange voice says again.
"Shut up. If we kill him our plan will fail in 100 different ways."
Jace answers.
'And that's why we don't kill him. We just lose our interest in him and in response he will lose his interest in us. Then we can use him to get what we want.'
The voice explains.
"Yeah yeah."
Jace sighs, pushing the voice silent.
Just in that moment Sun comes down stairs.
"Jace? Can we...talk? Please?
he says in a soft voice.
Jace looks up.
"Only because you asked so nice."
Sun nods.
"Jace I...I just want to know why you are doing all of this...why do you use me to hurt or even kill Jay? What....what is your motive?"
He asks.
Jace hesitates,
"I really...just want to protect you."
He insists
"With neglecting me and manipulating me? Jace what is your idea of protecting?!"
Sun yells.
Jace snaps with his fingers and the black flash, flashes Suns eyesight again.
"Quite...please just shut up..."
Jace mumbles.
As Sun gets his mind back, about a minute later, he just stands there, his fists clenched at his sides, frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. He's had enough.
"I'm tired of how you manipulate me, Jace," he says, his voice tight with anger.
"Every time I try to make my own choices, you turn it around and make it about you. It's exhausting."
Jace crosses his arms, a defensive smirk pulling at his lips.
"Manipulate? I'm just trying to help you see things clearly. You're too emotional, Sun. I'm doing what's best for you."
Sun shakes his head
"No, you're not. You ignore my feelings and shut me down. I don't even get a chance to speak up without you blanking my mind!"
"You always make it sound like I'm the problem."
Jace says, rolling his eyes.
"You're the one overreacting every time. I can't just drop everything to cater to you."
"It's not about dropping everything! Its about that I don't even understand what you're doing or why you do it! I just want to understand!"
Sun yells desperate.
Jace wants to answer, but the voice returns again.
'Lose your feelings, your bond. You need to forget him.'
It whispers
Jace blanks Suns mind once again.
He stands up and leaves, leaving Sun standing in the livingroom.

Jace enters the little house.
"Come out."
He demands.
The voice appears again.
'This was great.'
It says.
"Super great, hm?"
Jace mumbles unmotivated,
the black stripes appearing on Jace' neck again.
He sits down at the little desk.
The voice speaks
'Now...we got Sun. Next step of our plan.'
"Kill this monster."
Jace ends.
'Exactly'
The voice approves
"Why, though? Aren't we the monster if we kill him?"
'No no no! Of course not. Haven't you listen. Jay is a terrible creature. With him around we're always in danger.'
The voice reminds.
Jace nods.
"Right."
He sits down on the little couch.
"Is this all still real?"
He mumbles.
The voice responds with a whisper
'I think you might go insane'
Then it dissapeares along with the black stripes on Jace neck.
"It's all in my head....but...Why can't I fight it then..."
Jace eyes turn red.
"What am I even saying?!"
He yells, standing up.
Jace turns to the desk, studying his notes.
Though Jace doesn't really pay attention to what's actually written there.
"If I go back now....would I be able to keep the truth for me if he asks again?"
Jace mumbles.
He sighs and decides to stay in the little house for a while longer.
"What am I doing...why can't I let him go."
He asks himself.
"Haven't I said I am going to be a monster?"

Sun gets his mind back.
Two hours have passed probably.
He looks around the room.
"Atleast that's a habit he kept....running away from every problem. Typical Jace"
Sun chuckles bitter.
"I just want him back..."
He mumbles, silent tears running down his cheeks.

Jace sits on the little couch looking out the window to the path back to his palace.
"Damn it Sunny...You make this harder than imagined. I like you more than I planned...."
