60 Nexus (2/2)

Lily Pov

”Lily, can you walk faster” Jace snapped at her for the hundredth time. He was really getting on her nerves

”I can't! All these damn bushes keep tripping me!” She snapped back, tripping over another plant. How come they moved for Jace but not for her? She felt like they were doing it on purpose.

Jace power walked ahead of her. She didn't care.

They came to a halt at the path that split two ways. Neither direction looked appealing to her.

”I'll go left and you right okay?” Jace said as if he was giving her a choice. Lily faked smiled and nodded in agreement. As soon as Jace disappeared from sight, Lily flopped on the ground.

She was exhausted, besides how would he really know she didn't go searching. As she sat on the ground a bug flew by her head. She swatted it away but it kept coming back

”Go away!” She yelled swatting at it again.

” You're sitting on my favorite log” It said back. Lily jumped up and screeched.

”You can talk!” She yelled finally looking at the strange butterfly like creature.

It gave off an orange-ish glow. When she looked closed the wings were a lot larger than the little body it carried. But the body was what shocked her. It had four arms, two legs and a face! Like a human, expect the arm and wings part. A handsome human considering it resembled a man.

”You can see and understand me?” it asked fluttering closer to her face. Lily scooted away

”Yes! Am I going insane?” She asked wide eyed. The tiny insect flew back a little

”No, but that means you must be Lily” It replied back

”Ho-How do you know my name?” She questioned. The tiny creature was about to respond but the sounds of Jace approaching scared it off and he flew away with an orange trail following.

”Wait! Wait please!” Lily called after it but it was gone. The glow behind it fading...

”Lily? Who were you talking to? And since when did you speak Croatian? Jace asked when he broke the forest line stopping in front of her.

”I-I was talking to this butterfly guy. He knew my name” She told him

”Butterfly guy? Never mind I don't want to know. Did you find the portal?” he asked changing subjects. Lily's busted expression gave him the answer

”You didn't look!” He shouted throwing his hands up.

”Well I was going to but this butterfly-”

”Just forget it! I'll find it myself” Jace ended cutting her off and brushing past her. Lily had enough of his shitty attitude.

”This isn't about finding the portal! It's about beating Seb!” She shouted at his retreating back. Jace stopped walking and turned to face her.

”You don't know what you're talking about” he shot back

”Ha! I know you two are having some sort of pissing contest over Ana. I know you want to find this portal before he does. And I know that if this was a competition for Ana you would be losing!” She told him with complete confidence.

Jace's face changed to anger. Seems like she pushed a button.

”Your wrong” He replied through clenched teeth

”Oh am I? From my view it seems I'm right. You got a point with the shield thing but he got two when he stayed back to help her fight those monsters” She taunted. Jace took slow steps toward her.

”Shut up” He ordered

”Make me. Better yet prove me wrong” She threw back.

Jace seemed as if he wanted to respond but loud growls stopped that short. They both turned away from each to see what was making that sound...

Creeping slowly from every direction were the largest wolves they had ever seen. Lily slapped her hand against her mouth to keep from screaming. They were so big; easily eight feet tall and weighing at least five hundred pounds. The grey colored humongous animals growled fiercely at the two of them.
