章 9: Chapter Eight
''Hermione, open the door" Jace knocked once more.He had stood there for a while now, whacking the door . He was furious out of waiting for long. The council would reprimand him dearly this time. He paced to the hallway and back but the ingress was still tamperproof
Is she angry at me? "He slurred."'urgh, I didn't do anything wrong' 'He shook his head ,stretched his arms upfront and rolled his sleeves
''Alright, I am going to break this door open if you don't open right this minute' 'Jace threatened. Still no answer. Minutes later, the door suddenly creaked open, He peered through and then stepped inside but didn't see her. 'Where could she be?''
'His gaze darted about, from the closet,the dressing table, to the bed. He pulled off the covers but the bed was too neat. All her clothes and shoes were neatly arranged in her closet. He scratched the back of his head, as he paced about calling her but she didn't respond. He open the doors to the balcony. She wasn't there either. The rays of the scorching sun bathed his face. ''For God's sake, its 10; 00 am in the morning, where could she be? He mumbled. Suddenly, the shower turned on. He heard the water splashing across the chilled ceramic floor. 'Maybe, she's in the bathroom". He inhaled deeply, as his lips parted. The scene was kind of a turn on for him. He faltered lazily towards the bathroom door. The old and metallic dial clicked off, the water stopped and the door opened.
''Excuse me, how may I help you?" Her voice came high pitched and tremulous. Jace, watched the water drip from her hair softly, And the drops slowly made their way to her body lying underneath the bath robe that clutched on her tightly. He swallowed hard, his gaze darted about till he met her eyes. Her almond brown eyes, looked at him questioningly, and she crossed over, and collapsed in a sofa.
''What's your deal? Why are you staring at me like that? Who are you?" Her eyes widened.
''Wait, you are not Her, who are you?'' Jace stared at her icily.
''You don't have her deep ocean blue set, you hair looks hagrid unlike her immaculate one. Gosh, what am I saying? Where is she?" He dragged her by her wrists, as she winced, tied on the chair besides Hermione's dressing table.
''Gosh, how dare you tie a woman like that?" She struggled to let lose, but the ropes were tight.
''You don't seem like a woman to me, so let's cut the chase. Tell me where she is" Jace stared at her with half lidded eyes. 'You better talk now, or I will make you'' He closed the door lightly, walked over the bedside table, pulled out a gun and paced towards her. Jace stood overhead, propped her head backwards using the barrel and looked into her eyes. "This works better, I won't waste the magic on you''
''It's a shame to have that handsome face of yours yet you are so cold. I bet the problem is in your heart beyond serious hypothermia''. A mocking smile thinned across her pale lips, as she stuck out her tongue towards him.. Anger curled up hot and unstoppable in his gut like blazing coals that wanted to burn him from inside out. He balled his fingers into the fist and drove them hard onto the dressingtable. A look of great bitterness swept across his handsome face, his voice came loud and thunderous. 'I didn't expect you to be this snide and despicable you relentless bitch''
'' Tell me where she is now' His fingers curled up her neck press closing, his eyes burned with emptiness and anger while he watched her desperation for breathe overtake her.
''He took her 'she said amidst rugged breath. His grip on her neck lessened as he eyed her with contempt.
"What do you mean, by he took her?' he snorted. He couldn't stop scratching the back of his neck as he paced about.
''Of course I mean everything with the Jake vintage quality around it. What is it that you don't understand? 'The fact that you have about 24 hours to find her before she's food to the wolves or....''
'Look ...Whatever your name is, just stop okay?''. ''Isabella '' she said...
''Isabella, or what….I don't give a shit...How do I find her?"Jace asked while texted Code X to Pearl, Aiden and Tanisha.
'What's Code X?''
''How did you-''Jace gazed at her, a shocked expression plastered on his face.
''Am a warlock. And I know you and her better than you do. So if you are going to find her, let me join the cruise. But first, untie me." She wiggled about in her chair. A thin laughter escaped Jace's throat.
''You are a warlock, waver your wand or say some magic words'' He said quietly. ''you have a knack for making people feel low' 'Isabella growled. Yet in the meantime, her nose flared, as she sniffed quietly.
''What is it?''
''I can smell it, it's still fresh' 'Isabella replied while she tore the ropes free.
''Wait, I can see something on the mirror. 'HONEY –AM- HOME? Huh?? Isabella looked closely at Jace who shrugged off and walked to the door.
''Do you want to explain this bloody writing on the mirror?"
''Not in my best interest. Meanwhile if you had a brain, you would know that I have less than 23 and 20 minutes'' 'He looked at his wrist watch, then again towards at Isabella who just sat stared at him in disbelief.
''Are you coming or not?"
