Jason got to his feet and gently moved Vitane behind him as he took a protective stance. “I think you should go before anyone one gets hurt”
Kris glanced over at Jason and grinned “Now where is the fun in that?”
Jason scoffed and ran a hand through his hair, he rubbed his chin with his thumb. He was trying his best to stay calm but this guy was hitting a nerve and his hands were vibrating with fury. He shook his head and took hold of Vitane's hand “Lets just go” he mumbled.
As he stepped forward Kris placed a hand on Jason’s torso and without thought Jason punched the guy square in the jaw.
Kris stumbled back a couple steps and chuckled as he wiped the blood from his mouth “Nice punch.”
Jason lifted a brow, Kris’ eyes flashed devilishly as he took a quick step forward and returned the favor. Jason’s head jolted back as he rubbed his cheek in surprise. His hit had been inhumane and now Jason was pissed. His breath became low, he wanted to maintain control but he struggled as his kitsune fangs slowly formed and his eyes turned completely white. He bellowed at Kris and charged at him, pinning him to the ground. He threw a couple punches at his face until Kris grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and threw him off. Jason rolled himself up and Kris was also on his feet. Jason took a stride forward and uppercut Kris in the chin. Kris flew back and smashed his head to the ground. He gave his head a quick shake before he jumped to his feet. He dodged another punch from Jason and grabbed Jason by the neck and dangled him in the air for a moment before he launched him onto the table. The dishes shattered beneath Jason’s body and fell to the ground.
Lola let out a small scream as Jason’s body flung right in front of her. She stared at him with wide and terrified eyes, he was transforming. She pressed herself back against the booth unable to catch her breath, she was feeling herself going into panic.
Suddenly thick blue smoke began to form around her, her head snapped up in Riley’s direction and she shouted “Riley don’t!”
A moment later the smoke cleared and Lola found herself standing in her bedroom with Riley by her side.
She fell to her knees and began pressing her skin in horror “RILEY THEY CHIPPED ME!! You have to take me back!” she panicked.
Riley crouched in front of her “Lola it’s okay, it’s okay. You’re safe here”
Tears began pouring down Lola’s face “Riley!! I’m chipped I might explode right now!!”
“You would have already done so by now if that was the case.”
"Fuck! I don't know how much time I have, please Riley please!!"
"Lola relax, you're okay, really you are. The chip would have killed you before we got here if that was the case..."
Through a waterfall of tears, she slowly looked up at him and gawked “That’s comforting” she said with slight amusement in her voice. Riley grinned "Relax dear, you're okay." He stood up and reached forward to pull her onto her feet as well. He brushed a thumb across her cheeks to wipe away the tears. His eyebrows creased “Lola, you’ve been missing for more than a week, what is going on. Who were those guys.”
“You have to take me back Ri!”
Riley shook his head “Not when you’re like this. Talk to me, you tell me everything, what is going on. Where have you been?”
Lola took a step back and began to pace around her room. She was panicking, her mind was screaming and she couldn’t calm down. She sat on the edge of her bed and stared at her zebra carpet as she attempted to regain control of her breath. Her body was shaking, she was free and she was intact. An overwhelming feeling encompassed her as she placed a hand over her racing heart “They are the Carson brothers” she said slowly.
Riley’s mouth fell slightly open “You were on their list?”
Lola met his hard gaze and nodded “You know of them?” Riley walked over and sat down next to her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder “Of course I know of them, they’re fucking terrifying...rogue supernaturals.”
“Then you know why you have to take me back. Riley you taking me like this puts you in danger. I had a plan, I was going to escape I swear!”
Riley lifted a brow and shook his head “No you weren’t. You can believe that all you want Ruby but the moment that guy put his arm around you, I saw your face.”
Lola pulled away and stared at him with an insulted expression on her face “I still would have escaped Ri!"
"With all due respect Lo, as my best friend, you would not, you were all googly eyes."
"Well, that's not fair, you can't just say that. I mean sure he’s sweet and gave me a fucking alchemy lab and he’s not bad in the sack-”
“You slept with him!”
Lola shrugged “We were having a moment” she argued.
Riley lifted his brows and scoffed “A moment?! Tell me Lola, what creature has given you stockholm syndrome?
“STOCKHOLM? I don’t have stockholm syndrome” she protested.
Riley removed his arm from her and leaned away glaring. "You may be fucking terrified but there is a gleam in your eye. You have stockholm.
“No I just, I don't! Riley, you have to take me back, he’s a 300 year old demon he’ll crush you in an instant”
“A demon? Okay for one that’s sick, second there is no way I’m taking you back to some guy who has a reserved seat in hell and third I can protect you!”
Lola got to her feet, she was raging “Drop the cocky attitude Ri, he would crush you in a second and I’m not some damsel! I can get out, just give me like, give me a week.”
Riley rolled his eyes “So what you can get seven more nights with him”
Lola frowned, she wanted to slap him but she knew everything he was saying made sense, the chip hadn’t gone off. She was fine, she was free, why couldn’t she just accept it? She blew air out of her nostrils and shook her head “I can’t go like this, not with you in the middle. Please understand.”
"I can't do that. Lola you're free"
"Riley, I love you but please trust me when I say he'll find you. You'll get killed over this. You have to send me back please, please, please trust me!"
"I do but this is insanity, I'm a wizard. I can protect you."
"You're 26, he's 300, he's been around much longer. I promise you he's faced a wizard before. Riley please don't do this, please. You have to send me back."
Riley couldn’t understand it, the girl he grew up with, the one who always put herself above all others and out of harm's way wanted to get back to the fire. He rubbed his chin as he pondered with their eyes locked on each other. Finally he nodded “Fine, I don't know why I'm agreeing but I trust your judgement. I'm not giving you a week, you have three days then I’m coming to get you. But I’m not taking you back to the cafe. They can meet you at their home. Just imagine it as I teleport you, okay.” His eyes filled with tears as he stood up and pulled her into him. They held onto each other tightly for several minutes. Riley kissed her on the forehead “I’m going to regret this”
Lola nodded “Probably” she flatly stated. Riley grimaced as he let go of her. He took off the black gold bracelet she had given him when they were younger and slid it onto her wrist. "You know how much this means to me, whatever happens in there, at some point, you'll have to give it back." Lolas eyes filled with tears and she hugged him again. She wiped her face as she took a couple steps back and exhaled deeply. She gave him a weak smile “Just three days”
As Riley was about to conjure his transportation spell, black smoke appeared between the two of them and a hooded creature appeared in its place. Lola’s mouth fell open “The Hunters” she mumbled.
All that could be seen from the hood was razor sharp teeth smiling at her. Hello Lola he hissed.
The color from Lola’s cheeks vanished as she stood there petrified I hear you found yourself in a new dungeon. Well, before you return, we have a message for the brothers”
“Lola run” Riley sternly demanded. Lola turned on her heel and ran out of her bedroom door and into the hall but it was no use. On the other side of the hall stood another hooded creature with a bow and arrow aimed right at her. She had no time to react, the arrow was launched and pinned her in her right shoulder. She stumbled to the ground and stared at the smokey arrow in horror. Her arm turned completely black and the shadow was slowly enveloping the rest of her body. She felt woozy when thick blue smoke formed around her. She was transported back to her room in the castle. She wanted to scream but she was too petrified and she felt lighthead. She tapped the arrow with her finger and it dissipated but the blackness kept crawling down her body “The shadow of death” she mumbled before she fainted.
Jason gave his head a shake to regain control in order to avoid transforming. His eyes returned to their icy blue state and his teeth retracted. He jumped to his feet and let out a small grunt, his nostrils flaring. As Kris was charging at him again he conjured a ball of flame in his hand and tossed it. It hit Kris in the stomach burning through his shirt and part of his skin, but to Jason’s surprise the gash healed fairly quickly. “You’re no human” Jason stated in a low voice “Fair enough.”
The two met in the middle throwing punch after hard punch. Blood spewed from each of their mouths. Jason leg swept him and Kris fell on his back. He bent forward and grabbed Kris by the collar of his jacket, the bastard was still smiling through a blooded grit. Jason let out a low growl and threw Kris against the wall. He slid to the ground and Jason walked up to him and grabbed him by the neck. He pinned him up against the wall and let his claws grow into his skin, Kris’ blood began spewing at his fingertips. “Get Vitane out of here” he demanded.
Kris’ smile had finally vanished as he jolted at the pain but it wasn’t over. He reached up and twisted Jason’s hand out of his neck with great force, it sliced his skin but the healing was rapid, he was not phased. Jason’s hand was practically crushed as Kris pushed him off with is other causing Jason to stumble to the ground. Jason did not hesitate to get back on the ball of his feet, part of him was starting to enjoy this fight, finally a worthy opponent. He kicked Kris in the torso and Kris jolted back against the wall. Kris then lunged himself at Jason and pinned him to the floor of the cafe. He wrapped his hand firmly around Jason’s neck, Jason struggled to breath but only for a moment. He conjured a spit of lava from his throat and it hit Kris in between his eyes. Kris fell back in agony, holding his face. Jason rearranged himself on his knees and leaned forward. He wrapped his hand around his neck once more and this time he was burning through Kris’ skin, with fire in his eyes, he was ready to end it.
