Magic (ON HOLD)

Forgotten

I laughed again realizing it was maybe a little funny.

"What?" Karana asked again smiling.

"It's just..." I started. 

"Who the hell is Jackson?"

                                                                                        Karana's P.O.V

I blinked at her for a few seconds and suddenly chocked up laughing. 

"Very funny Vanessa. But, I wouldn't say that in front of Jackson!" I wiped my eyes from the tears of laughing and pulled her in close with a quick embrace.

"Ha yeah. Seriously though. Who is Jackson?" She questioned again very sternly.

"Are you serious? Your boyfriend obviously".  I shook my head at her jokes that sometimes went to far. 

I couldn't blame her though, I would be cranky if a godslayer overtook my body and almost killed me.

"Um.. no. Karana I told you I am dating Jace". She laughed one more time before crumpling the crisp white sheets in her sweaty palms nervously. 

I paused and a memory flashed through my head. I knew Oberdorom would never just leave from trying to get his sister back. 

I felt the shiver from the panic travel through me and I jumped up and raced towards the doors, stopping on the way to pick up a wood plank.

Vanessa slowly edged off the bed and wobbled towards me. 

"Karana are you-?" She started to say when the doors busted open and they walked in.

Jace and Jackson.

"Dammit!" I mumbled under my breath. I was gonna lock the door before they came in so that I could fix it without them knowing.

I gulped down the growing saliva that had built up in my throat as Jackson flew by me to Vanessa and Jace leaned against the door frame. 

Jace's golden eyes scanned my face and his expression changed from care free to curious. 

"What's wrong?" Jace pushed off the doorway and leaned close to me taking in my famished features.

"We have a... situation". I whispered in his ear and he pulled back to glance at my face again. 

"What kind of situation?" His voice underlined the word situation with fear. 

"Remember the spell? There must have been something wrong with it. Because Vanessa can't remember anything about Jackson". I whispered occasionally looking back to Vanessa and Jackson's growing heated conversation. 

Jace's head rocked back with shock and glanced to Jackson over my shoulder. 

 "Fuck , Karana we just got her flowers. From Jackson to her as a romantic gift!" His voice was scratchy with uncomfortable feelings probably squirming around in his body. 

"Jace that isn't the worst part. I think Oberdorom knew that the spell wouldn't work-"

" That's why he left so quickly without a huge fight". He interrupted looking away from my glassy eyes.

"Yeah. We need to do something, like tell Jackson". I suggested at the same time as the sound of shattering glass made Jace and I turn so quickly that our necks could have snapped.

                                                                                  Vanessa's P.O.V

The doors to the shelter flew open as Jace and another guy I had never met before stumbled in from the sweaty heat of outside.
