"Be mine." His words repeated in my head.

"W - What?" I asked. "Be my girlfriend." He said. I frowned.

"Your 16th - 17th girlfriend?" I asked.

"No. My real girlfriend." He said seriously. My gaze softened at that.

"Is that a way you ask a girl to be your girlfriend?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Just answer me. Is it a yes or a yes?" He asked. Really now?

"I won't say anything unless you say the three magical words that every girl wants to hear." I said. We had a staring competition and neither of us wavered.

Finally he sighed and stared deep into my eyes once again while I lost myself in those green irises.

"I love you, Lucy." He said softly smiling at me. I smiled back. A tiny blush coated my cheeks.

"I love you too, Jas." As soon as those words left my mouth he pulled me towards him and crashed his lips against mine. I soon melted into the kiss. Our lips fit perfectly.

When we broke apart we were breathing heavily. I somehow landed on his lap as his back was against the tree. He rested his head on the crook of my neck. I felt him inhale deeply.

"You're mine now. Mine alone. And if any of those guys from you're fan club come near you I'll burn then to ashes. Got that?" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Possessive much?" I asked. He pulled back and smirked at me.

"Now I don't need to burn guys behind your back, I can burn them in front of you and you'll get to see a firework show." He said.

"You burned guys behind my back?! Wait is that why the guys who tried approach me ran away real soon?" I asked. He nodded. I sighed. I ran my hands through his locks.

"So..so soft!" I said. Even though his hair is always so spiky, it's really soft.

"Hey stop that!" He said. "But why?" I asked. "Jut stop okay? I'll let you do it some other time. Let's go now." He said and we both got up. He interwined our fingers as we walked back to our dorms.

When we got back what we saw was beyond comprehend. Both our houses were destroyed. Completely and utterly destroyed. And there in the middle were Ben and Griffin on the ground both badly beaten with the others around them along with Mr . Lee and Master.

"Guys what happened here?" I asked.

"Oh Lucy, Jason. What happene-" Kelly started.

"You'll finally tied the knot!!" Lisa exclaimed. With that everybody looked at our joined hands. I think I saw Master frowning.

"About time guys!"

"You'll killed us with all that flirting you'll did!"

"Congratulations!"

"This calls for a party!"

"Great job Lu!"

"You finally man'ed up, Fire breath!"

"When's the marriage Lucy!" I blushed at all the attention.

"That aside, let me guess what happened here. These two idiots argued about something which led them to a fight during which they destroyed both the houses which finally leads us to here." Jas said. The others nodded.

"So where are we gonna stay?" I asked. "You'll all will be staying in the regular dorms like the other students till the houses are brought back to how they were before." Master said. We nodded. Mr. Lee handed us our keys.

"Lucy come to my office please. There's something I need to talk to you about. Oh and kids start studying after Christmas! You'll will be having your exams in March." He said grinning a bit at the last sentence. We all groaned.

I followed him to his office. I guess I know where this is going. He sat behind his desk while I sat on one of the plush chairs in front. A frown was etched across his face.

"Lucy what was the most important thing Derek and I told you?" He asked. I sighed.

"To stay away from Jason Hooke. I know Master." I said. "If you knew then what was that?" He asked.

"Master why is that you want me to stay away from him?" I asked. He sighed.

"He's dangerous for you. Hasn't Derek told you that yet?" He asked.

"Ya. Brother says he's a monster. But tell me why you'll think that? There has to be some reason!" I asked. He sighed again.

"There's no way getting out of this huh?" He asked himself.

"It was around 6-7 years back. Jason....lost his sister. She didn't die. She was kidnapped by the AAO." He said.

"Jason had a sister? And she was taken by the AAO?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yeah. And Jason was so angry that he turned into a half dragon. With red scales on his body, one scaly wing sprouted out of his back, his arms and legs turned into sharp claws, his canines elongated, his eyes a bloody red colour without pupils. And have you seen the west of Alice Academy, the woods? Well he destroyed it completely all the way up the mountains, he even destroyed a mountain into lakhs of pieces. He even killed...his cousin, the strongest student in the academy at that time. The first person he has ever killed. But he still didn't stop. He turned even more aggressive. He almost killed the other guys from Crimson Dragons but they managed to bring him back to his senses. That's the monster we're talking about. And he's even more stronger now. That means even more dangerous." Master said. I just looked at the floor. I didn't know what to say.

"So you'll want me to stay away from him because you'll think he might go insane once again and kill me?" I asked taking the glass of water and sipping it.

"Yes." He said. I got up. "Sorry but that can't happen. I love him. And it's gonna take more then the end of the world to stop me from loving him. And I'm not gonna get killed that easily." I said firmly.

"Lucy...." Master started. "I know you and Derek are worried about me but I just can't." I said.

"But Lucy..." He said. I sighed. "Fine. How about this? I have a rematch with him and if I'm able to defeat him this topic of discussion won't arise again." I said. He thought about it for a while.

"Fine. Defeating him is quite far away so as long as you kick him down to the ground thrice and give him some bruises and scratches you win. But if you don't, you're staying away from him. Got it?" He said. I nodded.

"Yeah, fine. Anyway what was his sister's name?" I asked.

"I guess it was Destiny Hooke." He said. My eyes widened slightly and I dropped the glass to the ground.

Oh shit. I'm screwed.
