Fairy Bond

Chapter Twenty-One: I've had it up to here...

Autumn's P.O.V.

Jade's face is scrunched together. I don't know how to explain this to her but I figure I should at least give it a shot, if only to put her mind at ease.

"Yeah it started out that way; it's the abandoned building Orin lead me to where he asked me to take his place. The part where he says he will get me to conform wasn't a part of what happened that night."

Jade takes my hand and entwines our fingers.

"Do you think it means something?"

I shake my head, "no it's just a dream, if anything it's just my fear materializing because I'm afraid of how Orin will take the news," I try my best to hide the fact that it's not really what I think at all, because it's useless having Jade worry about something she can't do anything about.

Jade doesn't seem to question me either and in this moment I'm glad our bond is getting weaker, even if it is just from my side.

I rub my thumb over her hand. An easy silence falls over us. Next thing I know I have her pinned down on the bed, kissing her so hard, like this is last kiss we'll ever share. Jade frees her hands placing one on my shoulder, the other she digs into my hair, deepening the kiss. Our tongues dance around for dominance. I pull away to catch my breath and then I trail kisses down her neck to her collarbone. She moans in my ear and I feel her short fingernails scrape down my back. That's gonna leave a mark.

It hurts but in an S&M kind of way. I continue to suck at her collarbone while I snake my hand up her shirt reaching for her breasts. Before I hit home I hear my door open causing me to put as much distance between Jade and I. Like my quick reaction didn't spark the suspicion of whoever is at the door.

My dad stands there and his face is as red as mine feels right now, one eyebrow lifted. I nervously look over to Jade, whose face looks like a tomato.

"You ladies have to get ready for school," he scratches at the back of his neck. I look over to my alarm and see that it's already five past six and I can't help but wonder why it didn't go off.

My dad closes the door as he leaves.

Jade looks absolutely mortified, but once her eyes meet mine, we start laughing incredibly loud that I hug my arms around my stomach and fall flat on the bed next to her.

"So much for having super hearing," she nudges me with her shoulder and then continues her giggle fit.

The school day is passing gruelingly slow. I don't even know what class I'm sitting in and I don't really care. At least I have lunch after this. I've been looking over my shoulder every two seconds afraid that I'll bump into Ace. Just thinking of his betrayal gives me a headache. You think you know somebody...

I use this as an excuse to get out of class.

I pop the two headache tablets that the nurse gives me and decide to lie down on the bed, until the period is over.

I'm tempted to let some sleep take over but I'm too afraid that I'll have that dream again, so I fight it.

I can't believe that I never thought of running away with Jade until she mentioned it this morning. It's like it wasn't even a possibility for me, but the more I think about it, the more I'm for the idea. We can go someplace where I'm not a Fairy and she's not a Hunter, living our lives like a normal couple where the only worries we have is finding jobs and wondering what to make for dinner. It's sound like a simple life, easy and effortless. Not a lot of people dream of getting married and having kids. I'm sure if you ask any kid at our school where they see themselves ten years from now it will be something along the lines of getting the hell out of this small town and becoming a famous actor or singer. Hell some of them don't care about the latter as long as they can escape their hometown. Others have dreams about being doctors and saving people's lives, becoming lawyers. I like to think it's a little cliché that everyone from a small town has these big dreams, but then again I also think that everyone likes to dream as big as possible until reality sets in and you realize that some dreams will always be just that; a dream. I'm quite contempt with the thought alone, of spending the rest of my life with the woman I love. Maybe it's because my big dreams were decided for me and no one ever really stopped to ask me what I wanted. I'm quite sure that my answer will stay the same if you ask me a month from now, a year, a decade. I want two girls who I get to push on the tire swing in our backyard, their laughter filling my ears. Jade laying on a picnic blanket reading a book and working on her tan even though we both know she'll only burn herself red and in a couple of days her skin will return to the beautiful pale white it is now.
