Never Judge By The Cover

Chapter 10: Some Fun, And Some Torture

**The Magician's POV**

There they are. Both the girl and her boyfriend or whatever are sleeping. "Don't let her escape your sight Magician" master commands me. "Don't worry sir, she'll be ours in no time" I say and smirk. He nods down at me, and fades away into the night. I continue to observe them through the window. The girl is very small compared to the male. Also, from the looks of it, the male looks like a protective bastard.

He has his arms wrapped around the girl tighter than the pants the girl wears. The girl on the other hand seems to be trying to stay glued to the male. I'm about to break up this love scene when the male wakes up. I freeze, hoping he doesn't notice me. He looks down at the girl and moves her hair of her face. I watch, puzzled and confused, as he kisses her cheek and goes back to sleep, leaving a smile on the girl's face. I roll my eyes and sneak in through the window, hovering over them. I start to pry the girl away from the boy, when he wakes up for the second time. Looking at me dead in the eye with an insane look, lets out a hellish growl and gets on the other side of the girl, protecting her. "GET. OUT. NOW." He hissed and I chuckle.

"Make me"

**Jeff's POV**

I wake up to The Magician trying to take Brooklyn from me. I tell him to get out, and all he said was "Make me". I tackle him to the ground and whip out my knife. He kicks me off of him and stomps on my chest. I grunt and grab his ankle, crushing it in the process. He yells and gets off of me, giving me the opportunity to get up and uppercut him which makes him fall. In return, I stomp on HIS chest and I chuck my knife at him, which penetrates his skin and pierces his heart. He yells again and I pin him down and pull my knife out of him. "GO TO SLEEP!!" I scream and slit his throat and stabbing him God knows how many times. After my rant, he finally disappears. I sigh and get up, noticing Brooklyn's surprised complexion.

"He tried to take you from me" I explain and lay back down. She nods and rubs her eyes. I rustle her hair and hold her close to me. "Why does he keep coming after me?" She asks. "Because you're a ghoul, and him and his boss Zalgo would love it if you were either his sex slave or his servant" I say and she stiffens up. I rest my forehead on hers and look at her. "But that'll never happen".

"How do you know?"

"Well I saved your ass twice, I don't see why I can't do it again"

"What if his boss comes to get me?"

I paused, taking in the words she said. I can't imagine what would happen if he actually came here and tried to take her for himself. Frowning, I think about putting her through some training. Brooklyn seemed to notice and started to look a little worried, maybe even a bit scared. "We won't let him have you" I finally say. "Once someone's apart of our family, they stay in it. No matter what". She smiles and hugs me. "I'm gonna fight too if he tries to take me" she laughs and I chuckle. "I know, but if you're gonna do that then we're gonna have to put you through training before he comes" I say and she nods. I look at the clock and see its 4:21. "Do you wanna go back to sleep?" I ask. "Yeah" she said and wrapped her arms and legs back around me. I hold her in my arms and we both fall back asleep.

**Brooklyn's POV**

It's 11:32 when I wake up. Jeff's still sleeping, so I try to quietly get up. But of course, that doesn't work. He pulls me back down and back to him, closer than I've ever been to him to be honest. I blush and try to squirm out of his arms. "Stop iiiiitttt" he whines and holds me in place, hiding his face in my neck. Feeling my face heat up hotter than the sun, I laugh nervously and give up. "Don't get up until I say so" he says. "Alright hoebag" I say and he chuckles. "How do you smell this good?" He says muffled by my neck and I laugh. "I dunno, maybe because I bathe regularly?" I suggested.
