"Really, why did it take you so long to even think to call me to help you!"

"I dunno, maybe because you're a pompous jerk. I was handling it just fine Jared. You're not my night in shinning armor. I can do this on my own, the curse is on my family!"

"Oh is that so, and how long do you think you'd last without me Mina! Despite what you seem to think, I do most of the work. You just have to stand there waiting around for the Fae to attack," Jared said cruelly. Mina took a step back, shocked that Jared just thought thought that all she did was stand around and look pretty.

"Well I guess I'll never find out will I! You just can't stand the idea of me not having to rely on you! Well you know what I don't! I can't even trust you not to get me killed!" Mina yelled at him. He took a step back, seeming hurt by her last comment. She would have regretted it, if it not for the fact that Jared didn't seem to realize that she actually had to fight in the quests too.

"I thought we got past the not trusting stage." he said, slightly hurt.

"You know when it comes to you Jared, sometimes i can't even tell. Sometimes I'm ready to punch you in the face and others I could swear your my guardian angle. But right now, no, I don't trust you, in fact you have a very long way to go before I can even consider trusting you," Mina said, starring him straight in the eye.

"Well tell me when you figure out how to get me to trust you,because I swear to god I have tried everything, and all you do I pretend you can handle yourself when the truth is, you can't." Jared growled before starting to stalk away.

"UGH I WISH I HAD NEVER FOUND THE GRIMORIE! I'D RATHER BE DEAD THAN STUCK WITH YOU!" Mina screamed, before turning and stalking back into the restaurant.

Jared slowly turned around in surprise. She couldn't mean that could she? One of the first things she told him was that she was going to stay alive because of her brother. He put his hands over his face. Ugh why was he even bothering with her. There was no possible way she could kill his brother, and he honestly didn't want to see what would happen to her if she tried. There was just something about her that made him want to protect her, no matter how hard she fought against him. But then they just ended up in arguments like the one they had just had. He honestly didn't want to hurt her, or let her get her. Why couldn't she see that he was just trying to protect her. Maybe he should talk to her. But after hearing her stomp through the house, he decided to give her a bit of time to cool down first.

Mina stormed up to her room, ignoring her mother's inquiry. Really, she had been doing fine with the quest. It had just been a thought in the back of her mind that Jared would have been proud that she was doing so well on her own. And then poof he was there, and distracting her from the Fae that had currently been trying to slit her throat. True he had probably saved her, but it was his fault that she had ended up needing saving anyways. And the fact that he thought she couldn't do the quests on her own drove her insane. Not only had she completed two quests before he even showed up, but she had also done several others. And really she had only ever called him when she was actually in real danger of dying. She let out an angered sigh. Right now she just needed some time to herself. She quickly changed into a pair of pajama shorts and her pajama top, before grabbing a blanket and heading to her roof. At first she had been reluctant to go up there after her first few encounters with Teague, which she still hadn't told Jared about, but after going up a few times and not having him show up, she got used to it, and now still went up there every night.

She had been sitting up there for almost an hour, slowly drifting off to sleep, when a voice startled her awake.

"I would have thought you would have stayed away from the roof, after our last time," the sneering voice of Teague called out.

"I had and then I just started getting comfortable with coming up here again, thank you oh so much for ruining that for me again," Mina replied, too tired to bother being afraid of the prince.

"Awww now I feel touched, and you are oh so very welcome," he said, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"Really Teague what could you possibly want right now?" she asked, not in the mood for their another banter sessions.

"Really, lately I only come here to check up on you. Before I had to try and convince you to continue the quests, but now that you've started doing them again, it makes our time together all that much more enjoyable." He said. Whenever he talked he had been slowly walking towards her, but now he was leaning over her, so she decided to stand up.

"Well you've checked up on me. I'm doing your quests. You can go now. Bye" she said, taking a step away.

"Wow, that actually kinda hurts. Mina dear tell me how you've been. Boy troubles been plaguing you? Buy the way I must say I simply love those pajamas." he said, stepping closer to her again, while she tried to step away, only to realize she had hit the ledge. She looked down at what she was wearing, and instead of her usual modest pajamas, she had on a think black crop top, and really short sweat shorts, that barely managed to cover her butt.

"TEAGUE!" she howled at him. "What is it with you and wanting to change my wardrobe?"

He grinned mischievously trailing one of his fingers down her arm, causing her to get goosebumps. "I suppose its just something about how simply beautiful you are darlin," he said quite jokingly.

She rolled her eyes. He leaned closer and said, "Course I could change anybody's clothes but just imagine a shirt and shorts like this wasted on somebody like Jared."

She couldn't help it. She burst out laughing. Just the image of Jared in a girly crop-top and shorts was enough to make anyone laugh. Suddenly remembering how in tune Jared was to any thought of him from her, she quickly stopped laughing, and said, "Okay now you should leave because whenever I even think of Jared, he feels the need to appear. And although I'm sure you're in no danger, he would probably separate my body from my head."

"Well that's rather harsh now isn't it," he said, a small grin on his face.

"You have no idea," she said.

"I think I can imagine," he said leaning in even closer.

"Imagine what?" a new voice said. Mina's blood turned to ice, realizing that it could only belong to Jared.

So I decided to start a new story, but I'll still update my other one. Please review, and thanks fro reading it. :)
