Jason's POV

I sat on my bed and looked out the window. Down at the frozen lake with the crows that jumped around on the thick ice, and frightened flew away if a withered leaf came sliding near them.

With a groan, I let myself fell back in my bed, and looked up at the ceiling.

I knew Christine was right. We could no longer be together. Not just because of our problems, but because it was too dangerous. I wish I could just hold her in my arms and promise her that I would protect her from everything that might hurt her. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t promise it because it wasn’t true. Desied was stronger and he had the compass. And as long as he had it, but not the key, he wouldn’t stop hunting Christine.

Flashback

"The compass, last time it was opened was almost 80 years ago. It was owned by a girl named Idalie. She was reportedly the girlfriend of the leader of the North, Eric. Idalie had the key til compass, and guess who happens two be the only one in Stratford, who has a great-grandmother named Idalie? "Calvin said, and leaned back in the creaking wooden chair.

End of flashback

I didn’t know if Desied knew that Idalie was Christine's great-grandmother. It didn’t even seem like Christine knew it yet. Not after she asked why I thought Desied was after her. I know I lied and told her it was because Desied might though I had told her, but I wouldn’t involve her in this anymore. She might break my heart, but no one deserves to live in fear.

I had decided to end this. I had promised to protect Christine and I was going to do that. I jumped up from my bed and went down to the basement; to get the bomb ready. The last week had made ​​it clear to me: it was now, if I should to do something about this. For the last 3 days, I’ve gotten pictures sent. I didn’t know whom their where from before today. The first day I had gotten a picture of Christine and I when we were at Le Bon -a very exclusive restaurant down town. The picture is showing me putting a napkin over the prices at Christine's menu card. The next day, another photo was thrown into our mail slot. The picture was again of Christine and me. Christine smiling widely and are stretching her arms, wanting me to carry her. I grin back at her, as I’m about to pick her up. Although it was so creepy that someone had taken these pictures of us, I could not help but smile when I saw that picture. I slid my finger over Christine’s face, wanting to go back to that moment and just froze the time. Back to the time when we had no worries, when everything was just about Christine and Jason. Today I got another picture. It showed Christine and I on the wooden pier by the lake. It was obviously that we were arguing because Christine was pushing me so it almost looked like I was about to fall into the water. I remembered the day. It was after I for the first time had beaten up Elliott and Christine got furious. I smiled to myself, good ol’ days. It was also the day I took Christine’s virginity. Oh, how I missed having Christine’s naked body pressed against mine. Her magical touches and her soft moans. But there was something different about this picture. Because on the back of the picture something was written:

"Take care of what’s precious to you before it's too late"

I also got an envelope that day. When I opened it a small picture flew out and landed on the floor. I held a hand to my mouth and closed my eyes. It had showed Christine from the day she was kidnapped. She lay on the floor with a cloth around her mouth. Her hands were tied and her eyes were only half open. There was also a paper with an address in the envelope. And that decided the matter me. I would end this nightmare and save Christine. Even if it costs me my life.
