864 Words
A big boom sounded shaking me from my sleep, lighting lit up the room. I pull the covers over my head shaking, I hate thunderstorms like a christian hates hell. Jace stirs and tries to pull the covers up but I whine
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because.” Thunder booms and I shake more
“Are you scared of thunderstorms?”
“Maybe.” Jace finally grabs the covers out of my grasp and pulls them off of me. I try to pull them back over my head but Jace grabs me and pulls me up into his chest. “Shhh. I’ve got you.” I pull him closer, another big thunder crashes down. I whimper and Jace pulls me impossibly closer. He rubs my back and plays with my hair. Jace held me close for the rest of the night, by the time the sun started coming up it was still thunder storming outside.
“Lets go get some food.”
“Okay.” Jace pulls both of us up and sets me down when he stands up, I’m still closely attached to his side. He tries to pull away but I grip him harder and whimper, Jace chuckled
“Let me put a shirt on.”
“Stop laughing.” I let go of him and sit on the bed, lighting lit up the sky, I jumped and Jace sat down next to me.
“I’m sorry for laughing.”
“It’s fine a lot of people do.”
“No, I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine.”
“Come on you can’t go down there in just my shirt.” Jace growled.
“Fine, but will you come with me.”
“Of course.” We walk into Jace’s closet and I grab a pair of black shorts that go with his light grey shirt. Jace grabs another grey shirt and keeps his black basketball shorts on.
We walk down stairs and my mom being an early riser is up and looks confused as we walk down the stairs. My mom laughs,
“I can see River has kept you up half the night because of the storm.” I actually look at Jace in the face and you can tell that he has dark circles under his eyes.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to keep you up.”
“It’s okay, I would do anything for you and if that means staying up all night with you during a thunderstorm I will.” I blushed at his words and pulled him into a hug.
*I love you.*
*I love you too.* he pulled back and gave me a sweet but short kiss.
“Your matching how cute.” My father growls. Another thunder cracks through the sky making me whimper. Jace pulls me closer, and whispered
“Shhh. I’ve got you.” He kissed my head and rubbed my back.
“You scared of thunderstorms, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.” I squeaked out
“Your mother used to be scared of them.”
“She did?”
“Yeah I used to be terrified of them, it was kinda stupid.” My mom laughed out, Jace growled at my mother. “Oh don't growl at me, I wasn’t calling her stupid.” My father chuckled at my mother.
“Me and River will be in the kitchen.” Jace leads me into the huge kitchen. “What should you like?”
“Umm, I don’t care what do you want?”
“Well it doesn’t matter now because me and Brody already made food.” A familiar voice says
“Flora!” I give her a hug and then I remember what happened. “I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you guys.”
“It’s honestly okay, guess what.” Flora giggled
“What?”
“I’m a veneficus.”
“Well actually your a Phythonissam, which is a witch.”
“Well s**t welcome to the club.” I laughed.
“Hey can I be in the club too?” Brody cried
“You already are, idiot.” Jace laughed
“What?” I yelled.
“Take a breath but breathe in through your nose.”
“Why?”
“Just do it.”
“Fine.” I did and I could smell Jace’s intoxicating scent of the woods and roses with a spicy smell, I could smell Flora’s sent she smelled like cinnamon and sugar, Brody smelled like pine needles with a spicy smell. “Okay what was that for?”
“Well which smell did me and Brody both smell like?”
“You both had a spicy smell kinda.”
“Well that is what lupus demones smell like.” I made an oh shape with my mouth, then something else registered. I looked at Brody and asked
“Your a lupus demone?”
