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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO0Vq2jMW5

"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.
