8A.N. hope you guys liked the last chapter… I know, I know… I took a while to update but, I'm just not feeling the writing atm. Sorry… but I'll keep trying. This chapter is going to have a few P.O.V changes… but they are necessary to understand what is going on.
Japer P.O.V
I'm running down the dark alley ways, using my powers to search for other mystical forces. What? There aren't any? How is this possible? She was so fired up! She must be concealing it somehow. Or else she is just not using it… yet. My breath is racing, I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe. Pausing, I rest my hands on my knees, bending over trying to catch my breath as fast as I can. Rounding the corner I see flashing blue and red lights. I'm too late!
Adrianna P.O.V.
I can't believe this! How is it possible for…for… that! Racing up the stairs from my dungeon, I bolt out the front door. I'm running down the dark streets and alley ways, feeling the cold air on my skin. Wait…on my skin? Looking down, I nearly die; my gloves aren't on my hands! Turning sharply around a corner I sprint to the next, putting one hand on the wall to sharpen my turn I smash into something. Putting my hands out in front of me. The object falls from beneath my hands. I freeze. Looking down I see the shape of a body writhing in pain. Falling to my knees I reach out, but then pulling back sharply as remember that my gloves are missing.
"HELP! Somebody HELP!" I scream at the people standing around me. "Please help me," I whisper to myself. I feel a hand reach out touch my covered arm, turning their face towards me I see my long-time friends face.
"Ray! I'm so sorry Ray!" I feel helpless as I'm looking down into his pain racked face. My hands flitter around helplessly. I feel a hand on my shoulder, jumping up and away from the hand I spin looking up into the persons face. It's Jasper! How did he find me?
Jasper P.O.V
Sprinting down the street, her gloves in my hand I see two figures on the ground. One is lying down the other sitting next to them their hands flittering around. Moving closer I see recognise the two figures. Its Adrianna and Ray! Slowly moving towards them, I place my hand on Adrianna's shoulder. She flings her body away from me, spinning her body. I see the relief flood her face as she recognises me one minute, and the next she is looking terrified. Placing my hands in front of my body I hold one palm up to her. The other is flat, holding the gloves so that she can take them and not have to touch me. Knowing that she is scared from what has just happened. She's leaning forward slowly, and suddenly the gloves are gone and she is in the corner against a skip bin and a wall. I am left standing; I hear the sirens close in on us. Bending down I talk in whispers to Ray.
"Did you know?" I say quietly.
"I knew. Take her away…tell her I forgive her… protect her," his voice was barely understandable it was so breathy and quiet. But I knew he meant what he was saying.
"I will Ray, I will protect her with my life." Moving away from him slowly, so as not to disturb him, I move towards Adrianna, placing my hand on the top of her arm and gently pulling her to her feet.
"Come on Adrianna, let's go. We need to leave." I gently pull on her arm, encouraging her to come with me, but she pulls back and grounds herself against the wall.
"Please Adrianna," I beg, "Ray asked me to take you away. He told me to tell you that he forgives you, but that you need to leave. NOW!" Talking about Ray and what he had told her to do, it made a big difference. She slowly moves towards me, her eyes moving to look into mine. Moving to stand at my side, she began to walk with me. I reach for her hand, her fingers interlocking with mine. We begin to run. Sprinting down the streets.
