#The way Seb believed in me is the way I need to believe in myself. "Hey, how about we go for a run" He hinted. His eyes have a wicked glint in them that instantly excites me. The smile that spread across my face almost hurt. This might be the last time for a little fun before everything goes to h.e.l.l. So why not.

"Race you to the next town" I teased.

Lily

The moment Bobby walked out the door her heart dropped. She couldn't just let him walk away from her. Lily refused to believe all their secret kissing sessions meant nothing to him.

"Hey wait!" she shouted jogging down the dirt driveway after Bobby. He stopped and turned to face her. "That's it. You're just leaving?" she asked angrily.

"Yes I am. I'm not dying for this s.h.i.+t. If you are smart you'd leave too" He replied casually. Lily placed her hand on her hip.

"What about me? About us?" She questioned steeping closer.

"Get real, there is no us. I mean come on the making out was ok but I only did it because my options were limited and I knew you wanted me" He arrogantly gloated. Lily slapped him hard across the face. The blow had her own hand stinging. "f.u.c.k!" Bobby cursed.

"You lying coward" She spat.

"Whatever. Save yourself and get away from this place or else you're going to die being involved in someone else's fight" He countered rubbing his jaw.

"Oh so you do care. Make up your mind Bobby" She dared.

He watched as she closed the s.p.a.ce between them and pressed her lips to his. In a second he gave into the kiss. Gave into the desires he kept trying to fight. Lily enjoyed the moment but sooner than expected Bobby pulled away.

"d.a.m.n it! Why can't you just be like other fat girls and hide in the corner somewhere! You're so so so-"

"So what?" she cut him off "Oh I see. You're mad that you don't intimate me. You're mad that I don't hide myself from the world and I embrace who I am. Or are you mad that you like me. A bully who taunted the fat girls because he secretly liked them." She teased. "Grow up! Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors so open your d.a.m.n eyes and stop fighting what you really want."

"Shut up" Bobby demanded.

"Why? Because I'm telling the truth. You can lie to me and everyone else but you can't lie to yourself Robert . Work on your f.u.c.king issues but don't get mad at me because I'm able to accept who I am and what I want and you refuse to" Lily reprimanded.

"I'm leaving" He turned walking toward the ugly van. Lily wasn't having that. She quickly searched the ground for something sharp. Settling on a jagged piece of rock she dashed ahead of him and slashed as hard as she could through the front left tire. It popped and then the air slowly leaked out.

"If you want to run away like a coward I think its best you use your legs" She smirked. Bobby's face reddened with anger and Lily knew she pushed him to hard.

"No matter what you say or do I'll never be with you. Just thinking about kissing you disgusts me. You'll always be beneath me because someone like you will never be good enough for someone like me" Bobby snarled. He pulled out his phone and made a call "Hey dad, yea I know I've missed school, yea I know. Look can you just send someone to pick me up-."

Lily couldn't even hear anything else he said. Her ears were ringing, her insides shaking and her world started spinning. She's used to guys being jerks to her. But this is different because this one she actually liked. And she was certain her liked her too.

The hot tears built in her eyes but she refused to let them spill. Chin up , Is what her mother used to tell her. Never let them keep you down because you were always meant to fly .

She would do as she always did and follow the words of her late mother. So with her chin held high she brushed past him like he meant less to her than the dirt beneath her shoe.

But on second thought he's getting off a little too easy. Slowly she turned around with a grin on her face and sent a strong kick to his family jewels.

Bobby cried in pain dropping to his knees cupping his manhood, phone call momentarily forgotten.

Lily hunched down to whisper one last thing in his ear "Who's beneath who now b.i.t.c.h" she laughed hysterically before skipping off back toward Cora's house.

Jace

"So what did you want to talk about?" Simon asked taking a seat at the kitchen table.

Jace needed some information and he knew Simon read the supernatural history book night and day. So if anybody could answer his questions about necromancers without being suspicious it would be Simon.

"I know you read the book and I'm wondering if there is anything about necromancers in it." Said Jace trying to sound casual.

"Actually, there is" Simon replied flipping through pages "I've read this book several times and it's crazy because it's always changing. Like every time something new happens in the supernatural world the book adds it. Ana is even in it now. Oh here it is, but there isn't much about necromancers though" Simon grumbled.

"That's ok just tell me everything there is" Jace replied a bit anxious.

"Well, all the necromancers are dead. Or rather imprisoned by Celeste and her then husband Erebus because he saw them as too great a threat to all the other supernaturals after one necromancer defied him and brought back someone he'd killed to life. Celeste ruled over the supernaturals but had no control over the necromancers because they didn't see her as their leader. They actually wors.h.i.+pped the lord of The Hallow. Someone by the name of Zaewyn" Simon explained. Jace grew impatient because this wasn't the type of information he's searching for.

"Does it say if any could have survived or how to identify one?" Jace pushed. Simon eyed him curiously.

"Uh necromancers hide in the guise of children to allow them to move through the world undetectable. Most can only speak to the dead but the powerful ones can travel to The Hallow and bring the dead back. They don't have souls so they trade for them. Meaning they will bring your loved one back but it'll cost you your soul or someone else's. Why are you interested in this anyway?" Simon asked growing skeptically. Jace straightened and tried to appear nonchalant.

"I'm just very curious. So what else is there?" Jace pushed. Simon studied him for a moment before turning back to the book.

"Not much. You have to speak to them in the ancient languages to get them to reveal themselves. Unless you have second sight like Celeste and Hildegarde did. They are dangerous though because even the weakest necromancer can take your soul but that's all there is in the book. I think there is a page about this Zaewyn person if you want to know that" Simon offered.

"No that's ok. Thanks buddy" Jace replied patting Simons back before he left the kitchen.

The information he'd obtained wasn't much and it pretty much matched what Ca.s.sius said. Now he had to find out the truth for himself. After all he only had a few hours to call Ca.s.sius back and confirm their deal. If Zara isn't the necromancer the deal is off. Ca.s.sius will not help fight against Ferox. If that happens he'll have to face Ana and tell her he'd lied. The deal wasn't exactly set. He couldn't believe how quickly she guessed Ca.s.sius wanted more than spells. He thought it was a good cover because he couldn't actually tell them what the vampire prince really wanted. Or what Ca.s.sius offered to him return. To kill Seb. Something he still hasn't decided on. Yet.

Jace shook the thoughts from his mind and focused on the task at hand. It's time to test Zara.

Jace descended the bas.e.m.e.nt stairs greeted by low murmuring voices. At the bottom he saw his grandmother, Cora and Zara levitating, stretched out as if lying in bed sleeping. The chanting is soft and dozens of small black candles are floating above and below them. From the words he could make out they are drawing strength to those near and pus.h.i.+ng away negativity.

"Sorry to interrupt but I can't find any blue candles. I wanted to light a few for tranquility in the house. Everyone is bit edgy up there" Jace claimed shoving his hands in his front pockets.

"Good idea. There should be some in the attic, you know that" Cora responded not even opening her eyes.

"Uh I looked up there" He lied "Couldn't find any. Maybe Zara could show me where they are?"

"That's strange there should be plenty on the shelves up there. No matter, Zara, be a dear and show Jace where they are. After you're done both of you come back for meditation" Cora said. Zara slowly drifted down to her feet. She gave Jace a smile before das.h.i.+ng up the bas.e.m.e.nt stairs ahead of him.

Every action is so childlike that he questions if she could actually be a necromancer. He unhurriedly followed her upstairs listening to her hum to herself and skip steps. Doubt set in quickly. Zara seemed too innocent to be a soulless creature. Not to mention she's under Cora's protection. His mind couldn't come up with any reasons why a light witch would protect a necromancer. Something didn't add up.

But if Zara is the necromancer he had another problem to deal with. Ca.s.sius. Could he really turn her over to the vampire? And what will happen if he does?

"They are over there in the far shelf" Zara said interrupting his thoughts. He'd been so lost in them he didn't even realize they had made it to the attic.

"Uh great do you mind grabbing a handful for me?" He asked giving her an encouraging smile. Zara eyed him strangely but shrugged and followed his request.

It's now or never.

Jace quickly searched the small room for something sharp. On the ground he spotted a tack. He knelt down, picked it up and before he lost his courage to follow through with this he p.r.i.c.ked himself in the finger.

"What are you doing?" Zara questioned him warily, holding the candles.

Jace didn't hesitate. He stood and swiftly smeared his b.l.o.o.d.y finger across her forehead. Zara attempted to jump away dropping the candles in the process but he held her in place. "Et ordeno que revelar altaveu mort" He demanded.

Zara stopped struggling, staring at him. Jace eyed her waiting for something to happen but nothing did.

"Et ordeno que revelar altaveu mort" He tried again this time more forcefully.

Still nothing. Zara only stared at him blankly. Maybe she isn't the necromancer after all.

Then he remembered Ca.s.sius saying it is because he's a witch this should work. Maybe the magic suppressant is getting in the way. Jace closed his eyes, keeping his grip on Zara and focused. He dug deep and latched onto the natural magic inside. It is still weak but growing back by the second.

"Et ordeno que revelar altaveu mort. SHOW YOURSELF!" He demanded using all the power he could muster.

Zara began shaking. Her whole body trembled. She closed her eyes and when they opened she is no longer the same girl. Her features hardened and her gray eyes glowed frightening.

"You stupid witch" she whispered.

Jace let her go taking a step back. Zara sucked in a breath then blew it out forcefully. The black air howled as it brushed over his face. It smelled of dead flowers and felt unnaturally hot.

Jace shook it off but nothing else happened. No pain at all. He stared at Zara as she smiled sinisterly at him. He couldn't believe she is actually the necromancer.

Slowly she pointed a finger to the ground and Jace followed her movements.

There lying on the floor unmoving is his body. He choked on a gasp.

"Wh-what did you?" He panicked slightly confused.

His body on the ground began to lose color. His cheeks paled and his chest refused to rise. But he's still standing and feeling just like himself. He didn't understand what she had just done. Did she clone him or something? Could necromancers even do that?

"I called your soul out of your body" she replied circling him. "And to answer your next question, yes you are very much dead. Not all deaths are painful. Now give me one reason why I shouldn't banish your miserable soul to The Hallow."
