At Long Last (book 3 Spandor collection)(BoyxBoy)

Chapter 53

Maylee's Pov

I watch as Mot holds Faylinn. He bounces her slightly as he walks around with her.

It worries me she hasn't 'spoke' yet. She's almost 4 days old! She hasn't even made the little baby noises.

"She's maturing fast for a pre-me." Dec informs us, well me because Mot isn't paying attention.

"Miss Alyssa yet Mot?" Dec asks. Now that....that got his attention. "You have no idea." Mot says with a sad smile.

Jordan's Pov

"She wouldn't hurt anybody. Mianite you have to trust me!" I cry as we watch Ianita paw at the mark on her scalp.

"Fine! Go see your little-" The door shuts between Mianite and myself.

"Hey Ianita." I say as I sit next to her. "Hi Daddy." She mumbles. "Can I see your head?" Ianita turns slightly so I can get a better view of the mark.

It seems to be under the skin. It doesn't seem like worms or anything like that. "You never loved mommy." Ianita blurts suddenly.

"Ianita what are you talking about? Of course I loved your mother." I can feel the tears surfacing in my eyes. I've pushed her death away, drank, done everything in my power to forget!

"You let her die!" Ianita sobs. "Now all you do is drink and push me away like you did her!"

I can't respond. "You don't love us! If you loved us you'd be helping bring her and Uncle Dianite back!" Before I can reply Andor is dragging me out.

"That's not Ianita Jordan. She's scared its-"

"Jordan she needs to go." Mianite interrupts. "W-what do you mean?" I ask and Andor wraps his arms around me.

"For Ianite's revival it is necessary for you to give me things that represent her. Ianita is one of them." Mianite pauses to pull me from Andor's arms.

"You will bring her to my mansion tomorrow at noon. Jericho and I will be waiting with the kikoku." Mianite says tonelessly. He's going to let Tucker murder my daughter!

I run back into Andor's arms and sob. How can I let this happen!?! But I can't go against it if I want Ianite back.

"Let's go Jordan." Andor whispers before kissing my forehead. We hold hands as we walk all the way back up to our part of the castle.

I sit on the couch and hug a pillow. "I'm so sorry Jordan." Andor says softly.

"What am I gonna tell Martha?! She's gonna hate me!" I can hardly breathe I'm sobbing so hard.

"Martha isn't going to hate you Jordan. She couldn't hate you even if she tried." Andor tries to comfort me but it's only hopeless thinking.

"Just leave me alone!" I sob but Andor doesn't move from his spot beside me.

"I'm not leaving you Jordan. I refuse to. Not now not ever." With that I allow Andor to pull me into his arms.

"When all this settles out and we have our gods back we're getting married." I say to reassure myself. "Yeah of course we are! Why wouldn't we?"

A silence rushes over us. I knot my hands in Andor's shirt and cry more. "Jordan." Andor says and tilts my chin up, so I'm staring into his eyes.

"I love you more than anyone and anything on this earth, in this realm. It doesn't matter if we get married tomorrow or in 10 years. As long as I'm with you and you're with me, everything is ok." Andor pauses to wipe one of his tears.

"And nobody on this earth will change that." I lean up amd press my lips to Andor's.

"I love you too Andor!"

Time Skip - Next Day

Andor's Pov

I watch as Jordan walks in to get Ianita. Luckily she doesn't fight him. "We clear Dec!" I yell up the stairs.

"Yeah but hurry! Steve can only hold her off for so long!"

Ianita takes my hand as we run up the stairs. Jordan thinks she oblivious to what's going on. But I know she knows her fate.

Once we're out of the castle all of us calm a bit. "Are you seriously about to let this happen?" Ianita asks me. I need to ignore her.

We all get teleported to Mianite's mansion and sure enough Tucker is stood in the doorway waiting on us.

Ianita starts to pant and cry (get your head out of the gutter! Jeez she's scared, I'm not that gruesome -Jaden) which causes Jordan to panic.

Jordan's Pov

I bend down so I'm Ianita's hight, and place my hands on her shoulders.

"I love you ok! I'm so sorry!" I sob before pulling my trembling daughter into my arms.

"Don't cry." I plead. "Come on Jordan I don't have all day." Tucker complains. Ianita pulls away and wipes my tears.

I force a smile before kissing her forehead. She takes my hand as I walk her up to Tucker.

"Goodbye Daddy." I run to Andor amd hide my head in his chest. I feel hands go over my ears but that wasn't enough to cut out the sound of Ianita's cry.

Andor's Pov

Tucker picks up Ianita's lifeless body and SMILES?!?!?!?! "Here M'Lord." He says and hands Mianite Ianita.

"Anything else you have of her Jordan would be useful." Mianite says and I take Jordan's rapier.

After making sure his back stays turned I bring Mianite the weapon. "Andor there's more." Jordan says weakly.

Mianite frowns and I go back to Jordan. "She loved pies, so I have some pies." He says to me and me only.

"Jordan what about that bow? Do you still have-"

"I'm NOT giving you The Bow of Balance." Jordan yells and tries to turn and face Mianite but I stop him.

Jordan hands me the pies which I give to Mianite. "I will keep in touch with you Jordan, as well as Tom. You two are going to be needed for Dianite's revival." Mianite says and Jordan just nods.

We get teleorted home where a very angry Martha is waiting.

"HOW DARE YOU!"
