I close my eyes and feel my body finally starting to relax. This whole morning has been a roller coaster and all the mixed emotions are startingto take their toll on me. This is the only place I ever felt safe in my whole life yet, it's the one place I never wanted to be created. The tips of my fingers crawl over the grass until the reach the gray and gold head stone with his name. I breathe in deeply, filling my lungs with the air the need right before I speak his name in a husky whisper. "Jason....My God Jason. How I wish you would be here with me. To hold me in your strong and loving arms just one more time."
My finger slides over the swirly letters of his name while my heart fills again with the never ending love I still feel for this man. I would give anything to see him one more time. To press my lips against his and inhale his warm scent. But that is a wish never coming true. I know he would not like to see me like this. Messed up and full with emotions I can hardly handle. He was the only one I allowed to have a deeper look into my soul. He always knew what to say or do to calm my senses and to make me see things in a different light. He is the only person I told all my fears and the one to hold my heart for ever more.

I know I can't stay here forever. I have to face reality and make sure to find out if that man I saw this morning really is my father. I curl up in the grass, laying my head down against the cold stone as if I am in his arms. The crackling sound and the ripples in the magical boundaries making me jump up. In a red glow of lighting the silhouette of a tall male starts to show. While I bald my hands into fists the ground beneath me starts to shake ever so slightly.
"Bianca." The male speaks my name while he becomes more clear to my sight. "It has been a long time since my eyes rested upon so much beauty.' I recognize his voice and my fists open up slowly while I tilt my head a bit to the right. " Alex!" My voice is almost singing his name and I have no idea why I am so happy to see him. This male has been in my way many times and there was never a real friendship. He never supported my relationship with Jason, yet when Jason got killed he was the first to come and find me. He was the one who took my hand and guided me through my sorrow and tears. He bathed me, fed me and kept me sane. "Alex, it has been a long time for sure. Three years if I am correct!"
His dark eyes stare deeply into mine while he lifts my left hand and brushes his lips over my knuckles. His hair no longer curly and long but short. His fingers taking a firm hold of my wrist when he pulls me into his arms and wraps me up in a tight hug. "You have not been here for a while puddy cat." He speaks with laughter in his voice knowing I hate it when he calls me that. Like a little child, I want to lift my foot and kick him against his knees to make him scream in pain. I look up at the man now towering over me and wrinkle my nose before I free myself from his embrace.

Alex, brother to Jason but not by blood. A powerful warlock living in the darkness of the woods. An asshole, a liar, an evil man who was there in my time of need. The leader of the family Jason was part of after they took him in as a fifteen-year-old boy. They taught him to fight, to use magic and to protect himself. They helped him and loved him but he never became them. Jason was good at heart and wanted to stay away from all the darkness but he loved them dearly. He would die for his family and in the end, he did.
"I should go!" I speak loud and clear placing the palm of my hand on the head stone again. " Why?" Alex steps closer to me again letting his dark eyes scan my petite frame. "Scared you might like spending some time with me?" The Arrogance is his voice makes me shiver and my nails almost pierce the stone. "I remember the last time I saw you Puddy cat."
