His breaths got heavier and his eyes trained on me before running towards the platform and jumping up to me, just as I was about to dip back to pull out from his attack he grabbed my leg pulling me down the slick surface as he slid back down.245Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nco1gRKn4

His face almost looked pained as I said this to him, but I had to be honest even if it hurt him. Maybe, just maybe it would give him the extra push that he needed.245Please respect copyright.PENANAnMtjlG5EqG

"She may have done what she did at the ball, but understand that it was only possibly because he has too much trust in her, and what she did wouldn't kill him and he wouldn't want to make it a full blown fight in such a situation."245Please respect copyright.PENANAcu8WvI0Ifh
245Please respect copyright.PENANAPkGhHoRRzm
245Please respect copyright.PENANADPvUXz43V7
"Hypothetically speaking. . .if she were to find a way for him to be weakened or die, wouldn't she find both of your ways as well?" Ben questioned as he walked towards us.245Please respect copyright.PENANAlJK1RYpxSf
245Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0LYT0vkrm
245Please respect copyright.PENANAig3Ta3zmCo
Jason was quiet for a moment, and so was I.245Please respect copyright.PENANA46NQhS59WZ

245Please respect copyright.PENANASb03mhS9eB

245Please respect copyright.PENANAR6zgSw1Yow
245Please respect copyright.PENANAR5MT64Dv7h

The waterfall's noise was suddenly filling the silent void as we all stood there in silence for a moment looking at each other.245Please respect copyright.PENANA0eqjaYH3Lj
245Please respect copyright.PENANAXU2EyxBbaf
245Please respect copyright.PENANAc4rNBfHFe8
Jason's arm wrapped around my waist before squeezing me.245Please respect copyright.PENANAtULhtVgBun
245Please respect copyright.PENANAQdZ4TkV99C
"Everything will work out in one way or another"
"Luna, and Jason really. . .I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened to you-I,I've thought about it several times and I just feel awful, if I would have known I-"
"Ben, everything happens for a reason, even if they are hurtful and horrible at the time,I truly believe there is a reason for everything."
I simply cut him off and offered him a small smile.
"Besides, we're both still alive so at least there is that"
Jason added.
Ben nodded his head.
"You both have done a lot for me. . .you've helped me grow, you have been gracious enough to help with a home for me, food-just a lot and I don't know how I could ever repay you both"
I stayed silent.
My motive was malice,yet here my sheep was suddenly just that. . .
"Well we care about you Ben, you know that; what else were we to do?"
He shrugged.
Jason smiled.
"I'm just thankful, but with that being said I really should get back home"
He said as he grabbed his black duffel bag and started to put some of his things away.
"Be honest with me, will he ever know?" Jason mumbled quietly.
"There are some moments when I think we should, but I know that could also not help at all. . .only time will tell"
"Mhm, well only time will tell then. Though it is still cruel."
"It must be done Jason, it's the only way; if we were to tell him the truth he could turn on us or we would have to find a way to forcefully control him"
Alexander spoke bluntly.
"I understand that. . .I just- I don't know"
Jason shook his head looking somewhat defeated.
"Zadicus has been asking around about where you've been going the past few weeks, hasn't found anything of course but be aware"
I chuckled.
"He is persistent at times. . .as far as he'll know I'm a perfect angel just trying to live my life with my adoring husband"
I smiled putting my finger under Jason's chin before giving him a kiss.
"Yes because that has been going so well for you lately"
I saw Alexander roll his eyes at the corner of my eye.
"In my defense, that wasn't fully my fault and you know it"
I pointed out.
"Alexander?"
Jason asked.
"Yes?"
"Can we just take a moment to realize I have married an absolutely amazing, at times maybe
crazy woman?"
Alexander and I both looked at his confused before laughing.
