Always And Forever: A New Mikaelson

Chapter 21

THALIA POV

As everyone surrounded Ronan, me and Freya began looking through our spell books to try and find a way to save Jack.

I was reading my book, that held all the spells that ever existed, while I tried to listen carefully to everything they were asking Ronan and everything he said back.

Where is Rose? Kol asked with a cold and serious tone.

Hmmm, I wouldn't know how to answer your question since I am locked down here. Ronan replied.

Do you really expect us to believe that you have no idea where Rose might have ran off to? This time it was Rebekah who asked.

Ronan sighed and stayed silent, causing the anger in every one rise within them. Kol threw the first punch right across his face and no matter how much he hurt me, I couldn't help but feel pain when blood came running down his mouth and nose.

I instantly turned away when klaus and Elijah joined him. After a few seconds they stopped and allowed Ronan to take a break from their powerful swings. I looked up carefully and saw Ronan, blood all over his face. He had deep cuts on his lips, cheeks, and eyebrows, blood pouring out of all of them. My heart felt heavy to see him in such conditions.

He looked straight into my eyes and I instantly felt pity, but all of that changed when I focused on his eyes, they didn't show the kind of softness they always showed when we were together and that made me realize that the eyes I'm talking about were Alex's, and this man right in front of me, is not Alex.

His eyes showed one thing, amusement. I couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. Something told me I should keep close eye on him, but right now I think I should just let them handle it. I need to focus on Jack.

Let me ask again. Where. Is. Rose. Kol asked once again this time emphasizing every word making him seem more threatening, but Ronan didn't seem intimidated. He just continued to stare at me while holding the amusement in his eyes.

I took in a deep breath and removed my gaze from him. I'm going to check on Jack, work there for a while. I didn't wait for anyone to respond and just left.

I made my way to Jaz's room and found Jack still unconscious. I looked at the jar which contained his tongue, I sighed and entered the bathroom. I looked for an aid kit and luckily I found one. I came back into the room and scooted a chair next to Jack, he looked pale from the loss of blood.

I wanted to stitch his tongue back on before he woke up so I got to work. I went downstairs for a few items first. I grabbed a cup, some salt, some matches, and a pair of scissor tongs. I was leaving the kitchen when I bumped into a hard chest.

I looked up and was face to face with Nicolas, I felt a little awkward around him after breaking down on him. My cheeks went red after remembering the way he held me tightly by my waist and the way he kissed me over and over again on my forehead.

What are you doing here?, he looked at some of the things I was carrying and looked back up at me, and whats with all these supplies?

He chuckled a little after noticing my bright red cheeks. I-I wanted to stitch J-jacks tongue b-back. I mentally slapped myself for stuttering like an idiot. I've always been really shy and awkward around everyone, especially when it came to the opposite sex.

Yeah? well thats very sweet of you.

Y-yeah..I um thank you. I responded back awkwardly.

My cheeks became even more red when I realized how close we both were. I tried to move a little back but stopped when Nicolas traced my jaw line all the way under chin with his finger tips. He lifted up my chin and made me look at him.
