Julian began to feel that familiar twinge of heartache. First because they were so close. The longest few seconds of life she breathed into him for the first time in months. Second came those words he swore that if he heard ever again it would truly kill him. And lastly her next words. Telling him that she basically wished he never showed up. He shook his head. "No. Emma, it doesn't work like that." He said his words oddly even though he could feel the anxiety and sadness tearing at his chest. "Yeah. If you were brought here for a reason, than so was I. At least here they can't force me to be away from you, and cast their glances...and..." He stopped and looked deeply into her eyes. "I love you, Emma Carstairs an no stupid rune is gonna keep me from you. No shadowhunter, no curse. Nothing. I belong to you. My heart belongs to you. I would rather you break me apart and kill me than force me to live this lie that makes me wish I was already dead." He declared before he pulled her back closer to him, leaning in and kissing her deeply. He knew he shouldn't but he just couldn't resist.

"Get what is called a job. You do work selling things to others and collect dollars and you get a cut of the profits which you can use to trade other businesses that you want to buy things from. It's a form of trade I suppose. Or ya know...you steal things. But that is illegal so probably don't wanna go down that route." He paused and gave a small bow "No clue where that is. I am from Los Angeles, California."

‘ who’s in charge of this land ? ’ she questioned as she swinging her . blade between her fingers. ‘ what are the threats and where do you trade? ’ @thornsofblack

Julian had a crossbow strapped to his back and suddenly was happy he had brought it. "I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the first. No one even knows how they even got here." He sighed a little eyes fixated on the blade that the girl was twirling about. "The only threat we face is some magical voodoo keeping everyone hostage on this stupid island. And trading isn't done I'm sure in the sense that you mean. People here use a national currency called a dollor...I think. Honestly. This is all probably overwhelming...where ever it is you come from I am sure is a lot different. It is for a lot of people"

Julian made a face as she mentioned her fear of which he knew oh so well, he could feel her anxiety spiking just thinking about it. He frowned slightly and reached up, fingers playing in the golden locks of her hair. "You really think you can get away from me? Sorry, but you're kinda stuck with me." He said casually as he took one more step closer to her, closing what little space had been between them. He couldn't help it. He needed her. A piece of him had been missing for months. His feelings for her never faltered no matter how he tried to ignore them. And she was here. In front of him. That gorgeous face just looking up at him and he had no inhibitions. He cupped her cheek before brazenly leaning in and pressing his lips to hers. He knew she would probably do the right thing and push him away, but he would feel no guilt. He loved her. He couldn't turn it off. He had done everything he could think of but nothing was enough. He needed this even if on for a second; to feel her lips pressed against his own. "I need you. Always. I would travels to any lengths to find you. I just can't...I can't live without you." He said, some of the words making his mouth brush over her lips before he pulled away. He knew he couldn't. Or shouldn't. But he would honestly endure any harm that would come to him, just to have her love. Even if it killed him.

“Hey.” Kit spoke up, disrupting the silence that had succumbed the room that he had Julian were sitting in. His fingers eagerly fidgeted with a pack of Oreo’s as he glanced over at the older male. He wouldn’t admit it openly, but he was sure glad to have Julian living with him and Ty once again. It meant slight normality of Tiberius and actual cooked food so he wouldn’t feel so guilty about all the junk food that he accumulated. “So, we are trapped here, aren’t we? I saw Magnus and he couldn’t even portal.. actually I ran into a few people who had portalling problems. Including a Mage.” He shrugged his shoulders, hiding the fact that being trapped terrified him. “If so, what the hell are we to do and aren’t you worry about Tavvy and Dru?” He asked as he finally opened the pack and popped a cookie into his mouth.

Julian sat there, working in silence. He brushed his thumb over the wet paint to create a small smudge across the sunset he was crafting. Which only served to add yet another paint mark on his skin which was already basically covered in various colors and hues. "Trapped like rats. Dozens of people and not one of them had an answer other than 'You can't leave. There is no way.'" He said in a mocking tone as he shook his head. He set his color palate, which was really just a paper plate, and brush down as he looked over at the boy. "I made sure they were taken care of before I left. I was trying not to worry them so I asked the Rosales to watch them. And honestly? I hate to say it but I don't have an answer. But we will figure it out, alright? Too many of us here not to be able to find a way out of this." He paused. "Have you guys even eaten anything other than junk food since you've been here?"

[thornsofblack-blog]

"Yes. I know. But I can't help but worry about my brother."Julian said with a shrug. Everyone knew how much he cared for all his siblings. They were all he had and the same the other way around. "Of course you can. Just get on...right?" But he could see the severity in her eyes. "I just thought Ty was exaggerating. You're serious? We can't leave?" The frustration was written over his face but it didn't last long. Not when her hand came to his cheek. His eyes fluttered shut for a moment as he leaned into the touch. "Emma.." Sometimes it felt literally impossible to ignore his feelings.

[thornsofblack-blog]

It was true, Julian really hadn't been ready for his younger siblings to be growing up so fast. It honestly scared the hell out of him. "It's...something." He agreed as he ran his hand over the boy's hair smoothing it down in some places. "Alright. Good." He said softly as he looked around. "Now we just got to figure out what in the world we managed to get ourselves into this time." He sighed as he shook his head. "Are you okay though? Did you bring your stele?"

[thornsofblack-blog]

"I had to come, Emma. Ty left. I know I don't have to worry about you. You're strong as hell. But I guess Kit ran off so of course Ty went right after him and..." Julian stopped and looked at her incredulously. "Wait. What do you mean we're stuck here?" He said as he raised a brow. "Just take the boat back." He said with a shrug not fully realizing the severity of the situation. "I've missed you, too. The world may as well be empty without you in it...my life."

[thornsofblack-blog]

Julian couldn't help but laugh knowing her 'imma kill you' face oh to well. Once her arms were around him he let out a happy sigh. "Glad one of you finally turned up." He said as he hugged her back tightly, honestly not wanting to let go. "What the hell is this place, Em? I kept going in circles for the longest time till I finally found my way to this stupid island." He said having been trying to track all that were missing from the institute. His hand gently stroked down her hair as he nuzzled into her. He had missed her too much.

All day she had felt a tingling in her parabatai rune. It was different to the usual dull ache she felt when they were apart for too long, but she had disregarded it nonetheless. Emma was sat on the beach, not too close to the water, with her boots beside her and her bare feet buried in the sand. If she closed her eyes she could pretend she was back home in L.A, sat on the beach while the Blackthorns played in the ocean, the warmth of the sun on her skin. She was in her own world, so much so that she didn’t even realise she wasn’t alone.

Now that he had finally tracked down his younger brother, Emma was next. Unlike Ty, he knew Emma would be the one to be able to take care of herself. He could feel his rune calling out to his parabatai and followed it until he had been able to sneak up behind her. It was almost surreal. He had finally found them. Found her. He grinned as he just stood behind her for a moment before he leaned down against her ear. "Hey."

ty had nearly given up hope on finding his siblings, he’d checked every inch of the island for them and ended up bringing home more pets instead of any information on his sibling’s whereabouts. without julian, his pet situation had grown a little bit out of control, any animal that would let ty touch it, the shadowhunter brought home. he wasn’t sure what he was looking for this time, wanting to search for his siblings, but not wanting to face the possibility he was the sole blackthorn on this island. but a glance of brown hair, tanned skin, so unlike his own, tinged with marks had him breaking into a run. “julian!” he throws his arms around the other nearly knocking them both over, before pulling away and frowning at him. “where were you!? i looked everywhere!”

[thornsofblack-blog]

Julian let out an exasperated sigh. "Finally.." He mumbled just before their bodies collided. His arms wrapped tightly around his younger brother, happy he found at least one of the runaways that were supposed to be with him at the Institute. He looked down at the boy and stifled a laugh. "You're the one who ran off." He retorted as he looked him over. "I love you, okay? You cant be running off like this. Are you alright? No bumps or bruises?" He asked as he clapped his hands on his shoulders. "Please tell me Emma and Kit are with you?" He said, having been pretty worried about the disappearance of half the house hold.

Maggie’s hands found her stomach, her small little baby bump, just to make sure that it was still there. To make sure that nothing harmed her, along with the child she was carrying. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, her voice soft, “Do you know where I can find a doctor? To make sure that I’m okay? That we’re okay?”

[thornsofblack-blog]

"Yeah. Sorry. I haven't the first clue where I am, let alone where a doctor is." Julian said bluntly as he made a face. "I could probably help you in looking though. Guessin you don't have a phone on you?" He asked curiously as he pulled his phone from his pocket. "Uhhh, three blocks down two over." He said. "Do you need help getting there?"
