Ianite's Pov

Chrissy is a nervous wreck. We all sit at the table, they're eating. I'm not much of a eater.

"Chrissy you got plans today?" Jordan asks, giving Tom a glance.

"Yeah. Daniel asked me to the ceremony tomorrow. We're going dress/tux shopping. You're welcome to come if you want." I smile, I knew Chrissy would get asked. She's got good genetics.

"I can't go. Steve and I-uhh never mind." Tom seems hesitant. Wonder what's up.

"What are you and Steve going to do? Can I come?" Spark....er I mean Jordan asks.

"Just a thing don't worry about it. I wish you could but Steve said only me and him."
"Well he's engaged to my daughter so I should me aloud to come!"

"Jordan stop." I mumble under my breath. Tom just looks hurt.

"Since when is Martha your daughter Jordan." Tom snaps and I start to feel sick.

Jordan's Pov

Ianite coughs but once she notices I noticed she stops.

"You ok?" I ask, Tom is quick to jolt in.

"Why does it matter." Ianite lets out another cough.

"I'm......*cough cough* fine. *cough cough*" I sign maybe its just a cold.

But she's a goddess! They don't get sick! I shouldn't be worried. But what if somethings really wrong!

"Tom please tell me what you're doing. So I don't have to worry about you."

Chrissy slams her glass down and winces at the noise.

"I gotta go. James is coming with us. See y'all later." Chrissy leaves at that.

"It doesn't matter what we're doing Jordan. It doesn't involve you so what's it matter." Tom snaps at me.

"Tom please!" I grab his arm but he jerks away.

"WE'RE DOING TEAM DIANITE STUFF OKAY JORDAN!" Tom yells suddenly.

My heart sinks. I thought he transferred over when we both agreed to protect Ianite with our lives.

"I-I thought you were on our team now." I say holding back tears.

"Why would I ever switch." Tom doesn't look back as he storms out.

"Spark, are you....." I run to me and Tom's room before she can finish.

I slam the door shut behind me. Wrapping the comforter around me I snuggle into the corner.

Ianite's Pov

Andor left late last night. I should probably check in on him, but something tells me he's okay and I shouldn't be worried.

Tom and Jordan have done everything in their power to keep what happened to Andor a secret from Chrissy.

I don't mind her knowing. Its not like she's gonna choose Mianite anyways.

I kind of hope she can see past our differences and choose me as her goddess.

I find myself walking towards the bathroom.

As I near I hear sobs coming from inside. "SPARK!" I yell and force the locked door open.

Jordan's Pov

I hold the blade in my hand tightly. My breathing is quick. I feel slightly sick.

Ianite caught me before anything happened.

"Why do you do this to yourself!" Ianite sounds on the verge of tears as she sits next to me.

"It hurts." Is all I can manage to say. I stare at the blade in my hand.

Ianite takes it from me and sets it down beside her.

She replaces her hand with the blade. "Remember what you said about Nade. In the letters." She says our eyes are glued together.

"That was Nade. This is Tom! After everything he swore on! After Dianite takes his sanity!" Ianite looks away.

"Follow me." She pulls me up, not letting go of my hand.

We walk outside and into the forest. She sits me down against a tree.

"This is where I come to clear my head. Just sit in silence." She says and sits down next to me.

Time Skip

Ianite's head rest on my shoulder. She's occupied herself by playing with my fingers.

"Peaceful isn't it." She finialy says, looking up at me with her beautiful violet eyes.

"Yeah."

Ianite's Pov

"Do me a favor." I whisper as the sum starts to set.

"Anything." Jordan replies looking back at me.

"Kiss me." Jordan's hand runs through my hair as he leans forward and kisses me.

I close my eyes and saver every second of it.

My mind starts to wonder back to Spark. He used to kiss me like this.

Gentle but passionate. Spark pulls me into his lap and rests his head on my shoulder

I lift his chin and kiss him again. He kisses back.

Tom's Pov

Martha looks like she's gonna be sick as Steve tattoos the rune into my forearm.

Its not the tattoo that's making her that way though, I can tell its something else.

"This is gonna let you sleep, nightmareless. It has some side effects but I'm not sure what." Steve mumble.

He too sounds bothered by something. I hope Jordan's okay.

I didn't mean to snap at him the way I did. It was wrong of me.

My stomach turns when I realize I left him alone with Ianite.

"Syndy you've gotta clear your head mate. Or it won't work."

Ianite's Pov

I pull away from Spark but only to take his shirt off.

With this Spark takes the time to pull me into his lap.

I stare into his beautiful brown eyes and he smiles.

I lean forward and kiss him again. I love the way he holds me.

His right hand inbetween my shoulder blades, left on the arch of my back.

Spark holds me gently but not too gentle. He pulls away and rest his forehead on my own.

"Tom's gonna kill me." That's when reality hits. I lunge back off of shirtless Jordan.

Jordan's Pov

Ianite's face fills with horror. My heart sinks.

"I-I.......Jordan I." Tears run dowm her pink shaded cheeks.

"Come here." I say and she repositions herself in my lap.

Ianite's legs wrap around my hips, her hands around my neck, and her head/upper body rest against me.

I hold her like I did when we kissed. Ianite lets out a little sob.

"Its okay. I know you didn't mean anything." I run my hand through the ends of her hair.

"You're just so much like him Jordan! Im every way possible!" Ianite sobs still mourning the loss of her husband.

I close my eyes and safer the moment. Ianite's heartbeat slows to the same as mine.

Holding her now makes me realize just how scared I was when I'd waited to rescue her.

Never again will anybody take her away from me.

"JORDAN!" Tom's voice echoes through the forest. Ianite flenches but I hold her closer.

"He's not gonna hurt you." I whisper kissing Ianite's cheek.
