SHE’S   TRYING   TO   COVER   UP   THE   BRUISE   ON   HER   CHEEK   WITH   MAKEUP.         but   evie   isn’t   fast   enough   to   cover   it   up   before   jay   sees   it.   

“      that’s   gonna   swell   if   you   don’t   put   something   cold   on   it,      ”            he   says,   probably   startling   her   as   he   does.            “      cover   it   up   all   you   want,   but   you’re   gonna   have   a   big   lump   on   the   side   of   your   face   if   you   don’t   bring   that   swelling   down.      ”

JAY   BARELY   BATS   AN   EYE   AS   THE   LOCK   CLICKS   OPEN.         he   proceeds   into   the   room,   sack   in   hand,   without   glancing   back   at   phillip.      he’ll   follow   him   in.      they’ve   got   a   mission   here,   after   all;      it’s   important.   

“      i’ve   picked   locks   with   curses   and   traps,      ”            he   replies.            “      a   golden   door   with   a   few   extra   tumblers   to   worry   about   it   isn’t   ‘impossible.’      ”            he   tosses   one   of   the   scrolls   phillip’s   way.            “      you   can   compliment   me   later.      let’s   get   to   work.      ”            despite   the   tension   of   the   situation,   he   can’t   resist   throwing   his   companion   a   wink,   too.

they’re   always   saying   things   like   that      —      the   auradon   people   who   want   to   be   ‘nice’   and   ‘welcoming.’         they’re   always   trying   to   reassure   jay   and   the   rest   of   his   friends   that   the   world   is   actually   a   really   good   place      —      that   it   can   be   so   much   better   here   in   auradon   than   they   had   it   on   the   island!      jay   learns   to   bite   his   tongue   pretty   quickly   here,   with   ‘good’   people   and   their   persistent   smiles.            “      i   don’t   think   anybody   ever   had   to   tell   me   the   world   was   bad,      ”            he   replies,   shrugging   and   smirking   at   @loetise​​.            “      guess   i   just   kept   my   eyes   open.      ”            he   doesn’t   want   to   make   allie   upset   or   anything      —      he   really   doesn’t.      tourney   practice   was   just   .   .   .      a   little   much   today,   and   he   doesn’t   really   have   the   energy   to   be   a   ‘good   auradon   boy’   right   now.

there’s   no   shame   in   that,   jay   thinks.         he   puts   away   his   old   self   from   the   isle   of   the   lost   every   day   they’re   in   auradon,   though   he   isn’t   as   good   at   it   as   @havenforged​​   is.      evie   fits   here,   better   than   most   he   sees      —      she   and   carlos   make   it   look   so   easy.      it   doesn’t   look   like   this   place   chafes   at   their   edges   like   it   does   for   mal   and   jay.            “      so   then   don’t,      ”            he   replies,   as   though   it’s   easy,   and   shrugs,   smirking.            “      you’re   a   princess,   after   all      —      shouldn’t   be   too   hard   for   you,   right?      ”            wrong      —      he   knows   it’s   wrong.

JAY   GRUMBLES   AS   EVIE   BUTTS   IN.         he   wishes   she’d   just   leave   him   alone   and   let   him   patch   himself   up   in   peace.      but   that’s   not   really   in   her   nature,   is   it?      not   if   or   when   she’s   seen   that   you   might   need   some   help.      and   truth   be   told,   jay   could   use   an   extra   set   of   hands.

“      slipped   on   an   icy   patch   coming   down   by   the   docks,      ”            he   explains,   turning   to   let   her   take   over   the   massive   bruising   and   cut   on   his   back.      it   stretches   from   his   right   shoulder   down   towards   his   spine.      it’s   not   deep,   but   it   hurts   like   hell   and   is   slowing   him   down   loads.            “      i   don’t   know   what   i   came   down   on.      just   an   unlucky   night,   i   guess.      ”

“      you   say   the   nicest   things   when   you   need   me,      ”            he   replies   in   a   sickly-sweet   drawl.

THE   FAMILIAR   TANG   OF   BLOOD   IN   HIS   MOUTH   AND   THE   FAMILIAR   ACHE   IN   HIS   BONES   AFTER   A   HARD   FIGHT   .   .   .         it   may   have   been   a   year,   but   jay   falls   back   into   it   all   on   the   island,   fighting   uma’s   crew,   as   if   he’s   only   been   gone   a   day.      but   the   fallout   feels   different   now.      no   triumphant   adrenaline,   no   celebratory   drinks   or   vandalism   to   stave   off   everything   else      —      he   just   sits   on   the   side   of   his   bed   in   his   and   carlos’s   room,   alone.   

alone   until   evie,   that   is.      he   doesn’t   need   to   see   her   to   know   it’s   her,   when   he   smells   her   perfume   and   feels   the   brush   of   her   soft   curls   against   his   cheek.

“      mal   is   gonna   go   to   cotillion   tonight,      ”            he   tells   her,   taking   hold   of   one   of   her   hands   that   wrap   around   him   in   an   embrace.            “      but   if   she   doesn’t   want   to   stay   in   auradon   anymore   after   the   party   .   .   .      i’m   going   back   to   the   isle   with   her.      ”

he   leans   against   her   in   silent   reply.      her   mansion   is   a   home   for   all   of   them      —      jay   knows   that;      they   all   know   that.      but   .   .   .            “      i   have   to   do   this   on   my   own,   evie,      ”            he   says   softly.            “      i   have   to   go.      ”

IT’S   FAR   FROM   THE   FIRST   TIME   JAY   HAS   BEEN   STABBED.         it’s   not   even   the   worst   he’s   had      —      not   even   the   worst   that   evie   has   seen   him   injured.      but   it’s   been   awhile,   he   has   to   admit.      the   most   he’s   had   in   auradon   are   some   scrapes   and   bruises   from   tourney,   roar,   and   .   .   .      well,   chad.      now,   he   pulls   back   a   hand   from   near   his   hip,   and   it   comes   away   bloody.      he   looks   to   evie,   paling   and   clearly   terrified   in   front   of   him.      he   holds   up   his   hands,   hoping   to   calm   her   down      —      but   the   blood   on   his   fingers   and   palm   probably   has   the   opposite   effect.            “      calm   down.      calm   down,   okay,   it’s   fine!      i   just   need   a   bandaid   or   something,   and   then   it’ll   be   fine.      ”            he   doesn’t   even   remember   who   stabbed   him,   but   it   pisses   him   off   thinking   it   might   have   been   hook.
