Ink…

Chapter 1

Teague punched the wall of his suite. It had been four days since the explosion. He glanced at the mirror. Mina was sleeping. He forced himself to look away. What possessed me to take that mirror only. I should've taken her whole family's. She would have felt more threatened… He started pacing furiously.

You could kill her any time of the day, and yet you won't. You won't because you love her too.

Teague froze and growled. Jared. He hated that voice. IT WOULDN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Enough, I am of one mind. I do not need to be split over such an insignificant creature!

Keep telling yourself that, Teague. You will always be split over Mina Grimm.

Teague grabbed his head. This was one side effect of merging with Jared that he hadn't foreseen. In almost everything Jared was quiet. Teague was able to successfully destroy the GMs without too much of a tussle with his other half, but when he was strangling Mina in the sewers, that was when Jared awoke and started fighting for control. Teague collapsed onto a chair and gripped his chest. It ached. He shook his head.

"Why does my heart ache?"

Mina would know. If you kill her, then you'll never find out why. Let her live, Teague!

No! She betrayed me! She deserves to die! Painfully and slowly, and with the knife that she tried to kill me with!

He could feel Jared's rage starting to build. Good. When Jared got angry, it was easier to control him. Suddenly the anger abated. Teague was confused.

He heard laughter. Teague, Teague, Teague…do you honestly think that you would be able to kill Mina? Should even kill her? She stopped that girl from killing us long ago. Why would she do that, say all those things-

BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO MAKE THE BETRAYAL STING ALL THE WORSE!

He heard his other half actually give a sigh. Truly, this was getting ridiculous.

Teague, use logic. She healed us. She cried over us. She said she loved us.

No! She said she loved you!

Am I not part of you?

That brought Teague up short.

She loves me and that is you. If you want a happily ever after with a queen by your side who is firm and cares and is strong, Mina is the one. However, she will never sit on a throne beside the man who killed her godmother. Give control to me, Teague, so that we both can enjoy the presence of the woman we love…

Teague thought about it. He considered it. Mina would never forgive Teague, but she would accept Jared. His eyes flicked over to the other mirror in his room and, without surprise, saw that they were grey. He opened his mouth to speak words of agreement when his heart ached again. His eyes turned blue.

I will never give up control. If she does not recant her past actions and join me, then I will see Mina Grimm dead.

He could feel frustration from Jared. Why! Because you got a twinge in the heart? Teague see reason! Mina is still of great use. A Grimm who is gaining amazing power in Fae magic could be a perfect, little helper.

It is your turn to see reason, Jared. Mina will never truly join us, even if I give control over to you!

Why?

Teague's lips twisted into a snarl of rage. If there was one thing that both he and Jared could agree on it was this.

Brody Carmichael will always beckon her back to him.

He was right. He felt anger, jealousy and all such pleasant things coming from his other half.

Teague continued to persuade. If she didn't join your side when you were separated, what makes you think she will if you gain control? She'll hug us and kiss us, but then Brody will drive up in his nice, little car, and she'll run to him. Teague's thoughts were cutting and vicious.

Jared was about to respond when a noise cut both of them off. Teague looked up to the mirror.

"Brody! Wh-what are you doing here?! In my room!"

Brody Carmichael smiled at Mina. "Your mom let me in. I just wanted to see how you were holding up."

Mina's smile melted slightly. "It was my fault. Teague did all that, because of me."

Brody shook his head. "Mina, you can't blame yourself for another person's actions. That's like the Jews blaming themselves for the Holocaust because they were alive! Do you see how stupid it is?"

Mina sniffled. Brody's face instantly softened. He moved to her and held her in his arms.

"You've gone through so much Mina. You're so strong! Think on the bright side, or try to at least. Your mom is alive. Charlie is alive. Nan is alive and hasn't forgotten anything. Nix and Ever are alive." He dug something out of his pocket. "And I'm alive too, and I'll never forget either."

Mina glanced at him and smiled and then looked down at what he was offering. She gasped. "Brody?!"

Brody smiled. "I never did hear your response. Teague's actions cut you off."

She touched the ring slightly and then looked up at Brody. "Yes. Yes! Yes! YES!" She hugged him. Brody laughingly slipped the ring onto a gold chain that he had ready and put it around her neck. When he clasped it he kissed her gently on the neck and nuzzled her. She gasped and arched into it.

"You know what this means?"

She nodded her head slightly. "We're together?"

Brody nodded. "Together, but also, this gives me full allowance to bust any heads of any guy, Fae or human, who tries to hurt you, come onto you, or threaten you in any way."

Mina giggled and twisted in her bed sheets. "Brody…I love you."

Brody's only response was to kiss her deeply.

Teague roared and flipped the mirror upside down. He didn't want to see anything else. Mina was his! His to do with as he wanted! His to love or to kill!

He looked at a an actual mirror in his room and saw that his eyes were blue grey. This was the first time that had ever happened. He and his other half were of one accord.

Brody Carmichael must be dealt with.
