Chapter 9

Elena.

"Fucking awesome!" cheered Jake, as I opened my eyes and realized that not only the stones he had placed around me was floating in the hair, but I had actually unrooted some trees around me and they too levitated. 

"Whoa!" I gasped and kept my mind focused, but took a good look around. 

"Will was right, you guys are naturals." Jake smiled as he waved at me to stop, which I hesitated considering I was enjoying the show but did as I was commanded and watched the trees rearth themselves.

"Looks like your friend Amy is a natural too." smiled Jake, as we both peered through the thick treeline to see them just sitting in the middle of the plain talking. "Mike is harder about it than me, so..." He shrugged, as he let go of a branch that I didn't know he was holding back. "...what's your story?"

"My story?" I rose an eyebrow crossing my arms. "Is my training done?" 

"You don't need more..." Jake shook his head and smiled. "...the rest of it comes with practice."

"Okay." I nodded and attempted to leave, but he caught me by surprise.

"Your story..." He pushed.

"...what the fuck do you want to know?" I snapped, rounding on him. "You think you'll hit on me a little here, a little there and think I'll just melt into you?"

"Well," Jake mockingly pondered as he noticed my hands were on my hips. "that's usually how it works with most girls."

"I'm not most girls." I snapped, stepping up to him. "I'm taken, happily. Get that through your head."

Jake swallowed hard and seemed to have been intimidated, but his eyes had that same sparkle in them that Draco had when he would attempt to woo girls.

"You're pathetic." I spat and turned to leave once more as he snorted. "What's so fucking funny?" 

"You're just spunky." He stated, flinching at me advancing up to him.  "I get it, you got a man...but where is he?"

"He's -" I started, and found nothing but silence following. " - He's -" I attempted a second time, and still nothing.

Where was Draco?

What was he up to?

I frowned, and just beamed over at Jake with nothing but embarrassment plastered on my face.

"Fuck you." I gritted through my teeth.

Jake suddenly had a serious glow and attempted to apologize, but I just shoved his hug away.

"I didn't mean to -" He started, but Nicole came flying around the corner and waved away a few flying rocks that Will had flung at her.

"- Fuck you, Will!" Nicole shouted, but I could hear a hint of a flirty tone in her voice as she outstretched her arm around me and pulled me into the safehouse as Will and Jake met at the bottom of the porch.

I noticed Nicole shot Ella a warning look as she pulled me into the living room and slammed the door.

"What the fuck did Jake say?" growled Nicole, putting her hands on her hips after she sat me down before the coffee table.

"He asked me..." I sniffed a little and wiped a tear away from my left cheek. 

"...to sleep with him, I'll fuck him up!" smirked Nicole, popping some knuckles.

"...No..." I giggled through the tears, but just looked away from her and stared down at the reflective coffee table. "...he asked me where Draco was."
