At stake

                                    

                                          
Percys POV

                          
"Where were you last night?" I asked.  I already knew the answer, I could sense his thoughts.
                          
"And the other nights?" Nicolas added sitting down on the couch.
                          
Gus smiled, "I went to see Saraphina."
                          
I gritted my teeth together and tried to block the thoughts of the human that was coming from Gus.

                          
Nicolas said, "She was pretty good looking for a human." 

                          
Gus winked at him, "And her company's just as good." He went for a high five. 

                          
"Enough!" They both looked at me. We three were all shocked at my reaction. "I mean Gus, you know whats going on." I ran my hand through my hair trying to cover up my jealousy of how he was hanging out with the human and only thing I was doing was sneaking in at night to watch her sleep. "We need to focus on this, I don't care what you do with it-" That part I had to force out. "But you know whats going on here"  

                          
"Perz, we all been working our ass off. And you know so." Gus said as his eyes softened. 

                          
"I agree. Wouldn't be bad if we went out a bit also. Especially you, your looking awful." Nicolas noted.

                          
"Nicolas is right . I mean look at you, your getting bags under your eyes. I didn't even think that was possible for us." Gus said with care in his voice.
                          
"I can't rest until this is over." And worst part was I didn't know when this would be over.
                          
"Perz, we know your next in line for leadership and commander for the army but-." 

                          
"Then you guys should know how important this is, all of our life's are at stake. Not just mine, but everyone on our side." I got up. "I need some fresh air." And with that I went to the only place that calmed me down now, I went to it. 
                          
The window was open as always. I looked around her room until my eyes landed on her. I smirked and walked towards her bed. I could read everyone's mind, everyone's thoughts but hers. I put my hand on her cheek and whispered, "Been hanging out with Gus lately? I know I shouldn't be jealous, or mad. I despise your kind, but you Saraphina. Your different. I hate you but ... something pulls me to you."
                          
The human moved her hand on top of my hand. I stood there froze, hoping I didn't wake her up. And I hadn't. I kissed her on the top of her head and moved my hand away. "Sweet dreams." Just as quick as I came, I left.
