Eagle Crest Hallows [2]

Jace

"It's...It's okay, Ray," I say, "I just need to think."

Rayah

I nod and open the door. She jumps out and punches me, sending me backwards. "Whoa, calm down..."

"I couldn't breathe in there!" She breathes heavily.

I shrug, "You can now though, right?"

She nods and leans against the wall, glaring at me.

Jace

Indigo shifts human and stands beside Zoey, glancing back at me.

You're ten seconds away from passing out, by the way, He says.

Before I can respond, I drop, everything black again.

Rayah

I see Jace pass out and I catch him, setting his head on my lap. Zoey watches and chuckles. I glance up at her and she looks away, still trying not to laugh.

Indigo

Mistress catches Mast - I mean, Jace - and glares at Zoey.

He'll be fine, I tell her, I showed him too much, s'all.

Rayah

I nod and keep glaring at Zoey. "I swear when he wakes up "I swear I'm going to kill you if you keep laughing." She whines and takes a step back.

Indigo

I growl at the idea and glance at Zoey.

Rayah

I look up at Indigo, "Your his brother?" I ask, glancing at Zoey.

Indigo

I glance at Mist- I mean Rayah- and tilt my head to the side.

How did you know that?

Rayah

I shrug, "He told me." I look back down at him. Zoey laughs again and I shoot a fireball at her. She jumps back, rubbing her arm.

Indigo

I hold Zoey, urging her to stay quiet.

I am. I just don't go by Alyx anymore. The name brings up too much emotion.

Rayah

I shrug, "Okay then."

Zoey looks away, taking a deep breath.

Jace

I stir and open my eyes, finding myself held by Rayah.

God, I'm going to kill you, Indi...

I sigh, my head pounding, and bring my hands to my face.

Rayah

Jace wakes and I flash a smile. "Hey."

Jace

I look up at Rayah and flash a smile back, sitting up.

One question, I say in Indigo's mind, How am I older than you?

He smirks again and shrugs, looking away.
