The Gambler

Witch

My eyes flew open and I blinked rapidly. Why the hell did I feel so..angry?

I jolted upwards, looking around the room. Grayson wasn't in here, but we had both woken up from our nap at one point. I told him about how weird I felt around Jessica and he said he'd 'scope things out'. Which of course meant going into her head..yes I feel bad asking him to do that, invasion of privacy and all...but I just have the worst feeling.

I guess I fell back asleep.

This was definitely a rude awakening. I wasn't mad. I had no reason to be mad.. yet I felt like I was fuming.
Oh no

That meant only one thing..Grayson.
I got out of bed quickly and started walking down the hallways. Guess it's a good thing Xavier soundproofed most of the rooms here, yet I could hear muffled yelling in the distance.

That's a great sign!

I walked slower, trying to listen and feeling pretty nervous about whatever the hell was going on.

Please don't be about Jessica please don't be about Jessica.

I did the stupid thing, heading towards the source of the yelling. It was coming from Xavier's office. I turned down the hallway and froze. Jessica was sitting up against the wall, her head in her hands.

Grreeeeaaattt.

I swallowed hard and walked towards her slowly.

"Is everything alright?" I spoke gently and she jumped, looking at me in fear. Her face was tear stained. I immediately held my hands up and took a step back.

"I'm not going to hurt-"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She cried out and my eyes widened. What could this quiet girl have possibly done to be sorry for? And to cause all this yelling?...

"I've been in touch with Tyler! I've been telling him about you and Grayson! He promised he'd transition me! I'm sorry!" She cried hard and my eyes widened.

oh. So that's what she did.

I folded my hands in front of my stomach, nodding slowly and trying to process this. How the hell could he have gotten in touch with her?

"He told me that your baby is going to kill a lot of people and that I was helping him!" She shoved her face in her hands again.

"I just kept thinking I was making a mistake after what you said earlier! The chips! I had so much guilt after that! It's just a baby!" She was crying sporadically now and I blinked a few times. That explains it...she thought... okay...

We both flinched when something hit the wall in Xavier's office.

"Stay out here." I muttered, walking past her I opened Xavier's door and stepped in quietly, leaning my back up against it.

"You're seriously going to let her LIVE!? WHEN SHE HAS BEEN CONSPIRING TO KILL MY KID" Grayson was full on having a screaming match with Xavier.

I almost laughed at the sight before me. Xavier had Grayson..in a head lock. He was literally restraining him with a headlock. Both of their eyes met mine and Xavier dropped his arms. Grayson stared at me blankly, his eyes as black as coal.

"So, boys.." I trailed off slowly and Xavier appeared at my side, locking the door.

"Can you do something about him!?" He spoke breathlessly, they must've been struggling for a while.

"After we do something about your little-"

"Grayson" I cut him off gently, his shoulders dropping. When he spoke his fangs were out, he really was mad..he was big mad.
