Chapter Thirteen

Vilandra and Katarina walked into Dragon Flame's castle and to the ballroom. The only people in the room where Dragon Flame, Xan, Eva, Percy, and Klaus. They were sitting at a table in the middle of the room. Vlandra and Katarina walked to the table. Vilandra sat down in an empty chair.

Dragon Flame said "where's Jax?"

Vilandra said "she won't tell me."

"Kat what happened" Eva said.

Katarina said "Thalia said the only way she would let Vilandra go was if Jax turned off his humanity. Jax refused, so Thalia told Eric to remove Vilandra's spline and he started to. Until Thalia told him to remove her heart instead and by that time I was at the hospital in the basement. I called Jax but Thalia answered. We were running out of time and the last thing Jax said was bring me back. Thalia hung up. After I found Vilandra, I called him back. He answered the phone but the way he was talking, it wasn't like him. I begged him to tell me that he didn't turn it off. So, he handed the phone to Thalia and she said he turned it off."

"HE WHAT" Percy said!

"Jax turned off his humanity" Katarina said.

Klaus said "so now we have two unstoppable being's with no humanity."

"Yes" Katarina said, "But I don't think we have to worry about Thalia."

Vilandra said "what makes you say that?"

Katarina said "Thalia got what she wanted. Jax turned off his humanity so there's no way to get Thalia's humanity back."

"Kat's right" Eva said, "Thalia could have killed dozens of people, but she kidnapped Vilandra instead. All so she could get Jax to turn off his humanity."

Percy said, "so we don't have to worry about Thalia, but we have to worry about Jax."

Klaus said, "so we need to find someone who can trigger Jax's humanity and fast."

At the Griffin, Thalia was laying on the counter.

Jax said "so what do we do now?"

Thalia sat up and said "we do nothing, I'm gonna go live my humanity free year. You can do whatever you want."

Jax said "I meant what are we gonna do about the original's? They're gonna do everything they can to get my humanity, so I can get your humanity back."

Thalia said "Dammit! we obviously can't go back to Dragon Flame's or mom and dads. So, what are we gonna do?"

Jax said "we could kill them."

"No that would too long, we need to be smart about" Thalia said.

"So, we're just gonna be homeless for a year" Jax said.

Thalia jumped off the counter and said "no, I have a plan. Give me your hand."Jax grabbed Thalia's hand and they teleported to an empty property a few miles away.

Jax said "you want to live on an empty lot."

Thalia said "before everything happened, I bought this property. I thought we could build a castle of our own. Living with Dragon Flame is fine for now but eventually it's gonna get weird."

"So, you want to build the castle now with magic."

"Yes, I have every room designed in my head. I even have a spell I just need your help."

"What do you need me to do" Jax said.

"I need you to put your hands on my head and say the spell with."

"Okay what's the spell?" Thalia handed Jax a piece of paper.

He quickly read it and said "let's do this." Jax put his hand on Thalia's head.

Jax and Thalia said "de mon esprit a la creation font un chateau" over and over again as a castle began to form. Rooms were built and decorated. They stopped the spell when the castle was complete. They were standing in front of the entrance to the castle. Jax removed his hands from Thalia's head and turned to look at the castle.

"It's amazing but let's see how the inside looks" Jax said. Thalia pushed open the doors and they walked inside. "It's nice, I like it" Jax said. "Now I'm gonna go pick out a room."

Thalia said "okay" as Jax ran up the stairs.

Thalia looked around as she walked up the stairs. She walked down the left Corridor and up the second flight of stairs. The staircase lead to a gigantic room. Filled with a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe full of clothes.

Thalia said "my spell was amazing." Thalia laid down on the bed and went to sleep. The next morning Thalia opened her eyes to see a headless body lying next to her.

Thalia yelled "JAX!"

Jax walked into her room and said "hey sis."

Thalia sat up and said "who did you kill?"

"Not sure" Jax said, "He was jogging when I killed him."

"Why did you kill him "Thalia said?

Jax said "well you're doing anything to keep yourself from making a mistake you might regret a year from now, when you flip your switch back on. Except the whole ruining my life part."

"Well if your humanity's off, then you really shouldn't care what I do."

Jax said "now that's where you're wrong. Because like you, I'm prone to doing bad things when my humanity's off, but unlike you I don't have an elaborate system to keep me in check."

Thalia said "well that's really not my problem."

Jax walked to the end of Thalia's bed and said "well I'm making it your problem. If my life is gonna fall apart when my humanity start's flooding back, then so is yours. When I'm done with you, you'll be drowning in mistakes."

"So this is about revenge" Thalia said.

"Yes it is" Jax said, "and this is a control freaks worst nightmare. I'm gonna force you to let go, one day at a time, until you break. Later sis." Jax walked out of the room.

Thalia climbed out of bed, she had blood on her legs and arms. She said "how I get clean, I have no clue, so for now take off this blood." The blood disappeared off her body. "His family must know, take him to the Rhino." The body disappeared. Thalia said "Violets are blue, frogs are green, make my room tidy and clean" and pointed at the bed. The blood disappeared from the floor and the bed.

Thalia teleported to Jax's room. Jax was laying on his bed watching TV. Thalia walked over to the TV and punched it. The TV fell to the ground and the screen shattered.

Jax sat up and said "what the hell Thalia?"

Thalia said "that's for putting a dead body in my room" and teleported back to her room.

At Dragon Flames castle the originals were having a council meeting. Vilandra said "I can get Jax to turn his humanity on."

Klaus said "Vilandra are you sure about this?"

Vilandra said "yes, I know I can get through to him."

"All we have to do is find him" Xan said.

Eva and Percy walked into the room. Eva said "I think I found Jax and Thalia."

"Where are they" Carter said.

Percy said "an empty property Thalia bought."

Dragon Flame said "but there's nothing there."

"There is now" Eva said, "they built a castle."

Katarina said "okay, so we go to the castle and get Jax back. It'll be easy."

"Maybe only Vilandra and I should go" Dragon Flame.

Vilandra said "okay but I need to go into the castle alone."

"Okay, let's go" said Dragon Flame.

Xan said "wait I'm coming with you. I'll wait outside with Dragon Flame but I'm going with."

Vilandra said "okay let's go." Dragon Flame opened a portal and the three of them stepped through the portal. The portal opened in front of the castle and the three of them stepped out. The portal closed as soon as they stepped out of it.

Vilandra walked towards the castle. She opened the doors and walked inside. Vilandra said "Jax are you here?"

Jax walked down the stairs and said "Vilandra what are you doing here?"

Vilandra said "I came to bring you home. Jax I love you and you gave up everything to save me. I don't know how to thank you but I need you Jax. I know that deep down you're in there, please come back."

Jax ran up to Vilandra and pushed her up against the wall. "Did you really think it would be that easy? Did you really think you could just tell me you love and I would turn it back on? I always knew I would break your heart. I guess today's the day." Jax thrust his hand into Vilandra's chest and held her heart in his hand.

Vilandra said "please don't do this."

Thalia walked down the stairs and froze time. Thalia walked over to Jax and carefully pulled his hand out of Vilandra's chest. Then she threw him across the room as time unfroze. Vilandra fell to the ground. Thalia bit her wrist and fed Vilandra her blood. Vilandra healed quickly and stood up.

Thalia said "leave now." Vilandra ran outside. Thalia said "seriously Jax. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I was thinking that I wanted her dead" Jax said. "Why did you save her, I thought you hate her."

"Oh I do," Thalia said, "but if I would have let you kill her, I would feel guilty about when I turn my humanity back on."

Jax said "so you were protecting yourself, like usual" and stood up.

Thalia said "you sound upset, did she get to you?"

Jax said "of course not, we both know that my trigger is you" and walked past her towards the stairs.

Thalia turned to look at him and said "and we both know that you have another trigger. You better hope they don't figure it out."
