You knew the moment ‘Adrien’ walked into Kiara’s office, something was different with him. It was only a few moments of observing did you come to the realization that the man before you was not Adrien. He may look like him, but the way he was acting and talking was different from the witty warlock you knew. It didn’t take long for you to come to the only conclusion that made sense.
Jasper was finally in front of you again.
You can only hope that the boys don’t get too mad when they find out that you came out willingly to Jasper on your own. You can already see the hurt and angry expressions on their faces. Hopefully you’ll be able to seek their forgiveness by the end of all this.
You’d be lying if you said you weren’t scared considering the fact that he was a warlock and you were just a human. You know that your one training session with Jungkook and Hoseok wouldn’t be enough to defeat him, but you needed to get him as far away from the palace as possible.
Who knows what could’ve happened if he unleashed his power then and there. Possibly more of a bloodbath than what you would ever want and you didn’t want to put everyone’s life in danger, even if it means putting yours on the line.
You just hope that Adrien finds you the same way he found Kiara.
You were so lost in your thoughts and trying to memorize the trail that you didn’t notice the way he stopped moving all together. And before you know it, you two were now standing in front of what looked like an abandoned estate that once belonged to a wealthy family.
“We’ve arrived,” it was almost scary hearing Adrien’s voice knowing it was Jasper right in front of you.
You gulp but you try to mask your nervousness with a faux confused expression, “I thought you were leading me to see some glowing flowers.”
He chuckles, “things need to be in the dark in order to glow Y/n,” he answers as if it were the most obvious answer, which in hindsight it kind of was. He points ahead, “I found them when I was exploring this building. Found them glowing right in the center of the room surprisingly enough.”
You raise a brow, “and what were you doing exploring this abandoned mansion,” you question confidently.
He turns to you with a slight quirk of his lips, “are you always this curious?” Instead of waiting for a reply he begins to walk forward with his hands nonchalantly in his pants pockets, “come on now.”
There’s no denying the anxiety running through you as you willingly follow possibly the most deadliest man you will ever encounter in your life.
When you walk into the building, you’re not at all surprised to find broken staircases, shattered windows and cobwebs everywhere. Exactly what you would picture an abandoned estate to look like.
Though you couldn’t help but admire the beauty within as it seemed to have been taken over by overgrown plants covering parts of the railing of the staircase and vines wrapping around the walls with flowers littered here and there. The sunlight shining in the room made it an even more picturesque scene.
