Among The Stars

Alive

Chapter 8

Jace's pov

I opened the door to Lily's room and stepped inside ready to fix whatever Logan broke.

I felt as though something was very wrong, and I knew the others felt it too.

They wandered about trying to find something to do, and Logan seemed uneasy.

"Lily?" I called and looked under the bed and In the closet. She's not in here, shit.

I quickly ran out and looked for her, thinking, hoping she just needed to go to the bathroom and I went there first.

Brown hair was splayed out on the floor, a look of utter peace was on her tear stained face.

"Lily?" I went down on my knees and realised she wasn't breathing.

"Logan!" I shouted and picked her up, I moved her and placed her on the couch gently.

Never before had I had such panic. She needed to be okay.

Logan and Damian walked in, Damien instantly ran over to her.

"What's the fuck is going on?"

"Well, it seems like our human has decided suicide is the answer," I said glaring at Logan harshly.

His face seemed to pale ever so slightly.

"Well?" I shouted breathing hard, anger and- fear filled my veins.

Damian took of his shirt, and picked her up, cradling her against his skin.

"What. The. Fuck." Elijah breathed walking in.

I was thinking the same thing but Damian quickly explained.

"Before, she was in pain... her cuts. I touched her for a few moments and she was healed?" He sounded unsure of himself.

"Anyone else have ideas besides sparky here?" I asked frowning. I was only this sarcastic when I was stressed.

Everyone froze when Lily let out a low sigh and moved slightly in his arms.

Elijah looked at Logan. "I missed something, what's going on?"

Damian smirked. "I think it's pretty obvious, Logan made our human suicidal,"

Logan threw his hands in the air, clearly frustrated. "Why does it matter? We were going to kill her anyway! She's a useless waist of space! Who cares if she kills herself, it just means we don't have too!"

Lily whimpered and curled tighter into Damian's arms.

"Even in her sleep she's scared of your voice," I muttered, he heard me.

"We were going to kill her, I really don't want to anymore, you said it yourself, she's innocent," Damian pointed out.

"Your the one who sliced her up when she go here!" Logan snapped.

He shrugged and looked at the sleeping girl in his arms. "That was a mistake."

"Elijah?" Logan growled.

He shook his head. "Why do you want to kill her so bad? She hasn't done anything to you, to anybody."

Logan stormed away, we watched him leave.

Echo's pov

I groaned and opened my eyes, I was on a soft bed, I looked around.

For a moment I thought I was in Elijah's room, because it was the same. Bed, couch, chairs. That was it.

But it smelled like a light smoke. It was lovely.

"Human," I looked up, and screamed bloody murder.

"I'm supposed to be dead," I breathed out.

Damian moved forward, I crawled backwards on the bed until I hit the headboard.

My heart pounded loudly, adrenalin pumped into my veins.

"Calm down parvitas flamma," he whispered softly.

"I- I don't understand,"

"You tried to kill yourself, you've been a bad, bad girl," he moved onto the bed and crawled over me.

I shivered in fear.

"Your going to kill me anyway, why do you care?" I whispered inhaling sharply as his body pressed lightly on mine.

"We're not going to kill you," Damian promised brushing his fingers through my hair softly.

"But if you try to hurt yourself again, I promise you that you will regret it. Understand?"

I nodded quickly and looked away.

"C-can you get off me?" He laughed and slipped off me, the sparks leaving along with him.

"You should come eat some food," I quickly shook my head.

"I'm not hungry," I don't want to see Logan.

"Your going to eat," he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the kitchen while I tried to pull myself free.

I squealed when he grabbed my hips and set me on the counter. "What do you want to eat?" I swallowed.

"I don't care," he scratched his head. "Hmmm," he murmured.

"You don't know how to cook, do you," I said giggling at his offended face.

"Of course I... don't, I really have no clue." He shrugged and sighed.

I looked through some cupboards and found instant noodle. "This will do," I microwaved it and then grabbed a fork.

After a minute of eating and him staring I grabbed another fork and offered it to him.

He pressed closer to where I sat on the counter and tossed the other fork away. "No need to dirty more dishes, feed me,"

I laughed unsure of what to say to that. He pouted and looked up into my eyes. "Fine," I stuck the fork into his mouth with a sigh.

He chewed thoughtfully. "Yum,"

I rolled my eyes and took another bite.

I got down and grabbed a glass to get some water.

"What are you doing?" Logan demanded, the glass slipped from my hands and I spun around.

I realized he was talking to Damian, who was eating all my food.

"I'm feating, ish really goosh," Damian exaggerated with a mouth full.

"Ah Lily there's glass," Jace, who I didn't know was there lifted me up and moved me away from the glass.

"I didn't mean too," I told him, both about the glass and what I did before.

He smiled a little. "I know,"
