Mount Olympus [5]

Jace

I hush Ella and sit with the twins, yawning.

Rayah

The man appears in the room again and comes to me, touching my shoulder this time. I swallow, "W-What do you want?"

He doesn't answer and speaks in a different language before dissapearing. I scream and bury my face in a pillow.

Jace

Rayah screams and I set Ella down with Logan, running up to her.

Rayah

Another mark appears on my shoulder and I freak out, running into the bathroom to try and wash it off.

Jace

I follow Rayah and wrap my arms around her from behind, comforting her, "W-what happened, baby? What's wrong?"

Rayah

"H-He came again," I say, trying to scrub it off.

Jace

I stop her and look at the mark, knowing she wouldn't be able to wash it away, "Shh. Did you see him this time? Did he say anything?"

Rayah

"H-He had a hood on and...and tattoos all over his face," I tell him, "He didn't say anything."

Jace

I nod and kiss the side of her face, resting my forehead against hers, "Calm down, okay? I won't leave you alone again. You're going to be okay. I won't let him near you again."

Rayah

I nod and swallow, covering the marks with my hand.

Jace

I study her before hugging her, kissing her neck and taking a deep breath.

Rayah

He hugs me and kisses my neck, and I hug him back, swallowing.

Jace

I hold her, letting her calm down, before suggesting we go down to the kids.

Rayah

I nod and start walking downstairs.

Jace

I follow close behind and scoop up Ella once we get there, hushing her.
