Jade stand up straight and Izzy looked into the floor upon hearing what she just said.She then walk backwards to lean on the wall and speak again, "What if I just toss it up in the air and let them fight it out among themselves." She said and rolled her eyes.Her face looking troubled and didn't know what to do.
"So this doesn't matter to you?" Alex asked shaking his head while looking at her with big eyes and frowned.
"Yes, of course, it matters!" She exclaimed at Alex and transferred her gazed at Jade, "listen...when you save my life...I put my trust in you."she said to Jade with a serious expression on her face. Jade gulp when he saw how serious she was. "Now, I need you to put your trust on me. I can't turn into what you are overnight." She continued and stared back to Alex and then her eyes went to Izzy and stayed there.
"It's true. She was raised as a mundane." Izzy agreed to her and said those words without breaking eye contact with Monroe.
"What are you,her spokesman now?" Alex turned his gazed into Izzy and said as a contradiction to what she just said.
"I don't need a spokesman, I need a plan." Monroe answered and walked quickly out of there.Jade just stared at her back with crossed arms while she's walking fast.

Simon was brought into the topest of an old building. He got a bruise in his forehead. He was put inside a room that has many old coffins, old chests big and small ones and an antique vases.Its door has a cross like hole.He peeked into the hole and shouted for help.
He's pounding the door as he shouts "Helloooo!*breathing heavily* Anyone!? I'm just an accountant student. I have no value to anyone.*stuttering* And..and I barely saw your faces, so if you let me go, I couldn't even identify you.Not that I would, coz you're a Vampires!" He said and his tears started to fall because of fear. He then turned around and checked the room. After a few minutes, he heard a sound outside so he quickly checked it into the hole.
Like a flash, the man who took him suddenly appeared in front of him so he moved back quickly as he's startled and scared. The Vampire opens the door forcely and looked at him angrily and aggressively licking his lip.The Vampire was walking intensely towards his direction.
"If your goal was to scare the crap out of me...mission accomplished!" Simon said in a scared voice while moving backwards slowly. The guy just stared at him and closed the door loudly without breaking his gazed at Simon."And as far as I'm concerned...Y-you can have it out with those Demonhunters. Specially, the blonde one." He said and moves his hand as if he's agreeing to the idea. Until he reached the point where he got stuck because of a coffin behind him."Yo-you k-know, y-you don't need me" he said trembled in fear as he bent backwards.
"On the contrary, I do." The man said in deep voice and smirked and showed his fangs and growls loudly as if it's going to bite him. Instead, he grabbed Simon aggressively and let him out of that room. The man pushed him hard that made him stumbled.
"So, how does this end?Do I,uh… get out of here or what?" He asked nervously while looking all around the place. The place looks like a living room marbled floor, golden couche, sculptures and a dim light.
"The answer to that is above my paygrade." The vampire answered him. He was walking slowly next to Simon. Then Simon moved an inches away from the the guy.
"Paygrade?they… they pay Vampires?" He asked in curiosity and stared at the guy while holding the gold furniture.
"Let's just say we invest early and often." The Vampire replied proudly and smirked. Contentment is seen in his face. Simon got hit into the statue of a woman behind.*tong*
"Sit down." The Vampire said to Simon while Simon continued checking the things that he could touch and smelling it."Why won't you sit? I really hate fidgeting." The Vampire asked him irritated to Simon's extra movements.
"I'm just,uh…just looking." he stopped and look around to see if there is a window.
"For a way out? Oohh*inhales sharply*. There isn't one." He said and smirked at Simon and lean on the wall watching Simon as he keeps on checking everything that his hand could touch.
"I'm just looking at this cool stuff you guys collect. Or steal ?" He said and brought a figurine into his mouth and imitated a sound of a horn and laugh afterwards.
"We have been trying to peddle all that junk for years.Museums make you prove that antiquities are legit these days." The Vampire proudly explained how they've got those stuffs to Simon. While Simon on the other hand, saw a knife inside the glass display rack that gave him an idea. So he acted like he didn't saw anything and moves in front of it to cover his hands sneak inside the glass display and took the knife out.
"When they asked where you got, what do you say? It's not against the law to rob my own grave." The Vampire said showing off as he swayed into the air.
As soon as Simon managed to take the knife out of the display rack, he throws it into the Vampire targeting him and he was hit by the chest. He's body moved a little because of the strong force of the knife targeted by Simon.He just laughed showing off his fangs and pulled out the knife from his chest and grunts"Oh, please." He stared at the knife that has blood in it.
"Oh my God!" Simon quickly ran to the corner of the room upon seeing the Vampire with no reaction as if it didn't feel any pain at all. He's trembling in fear didn't know where to go or to hide as he looked into the vampire.
"Honestly, I just got this jacket. There's no way out, you're a hostage, so accept it." He intensely said to Simon.
"I'm a hostage.That means you won't kill me,yeah?"Simon exhales and gity relieved to the thought.
The vampire open his mouth as he is about to say something when suddenly a woman's voice speaks behind him and said instead"won't kill you? Who said that? Rafael?" The woman walked towards Simon and took a sharp glance at the guy. She looks pale,thin and most of all fierced.Her heels creates a sound*click- clack-click-clack* and echoed in the room.
"Oh,look. How sweet. You're bleeding." She said while looking into Simon's bruise. She went closer to Simon and licked the blood on his forehead. Simon wasn't able to speak any words as he was stunned and scared by just seeing her aura."I am so looking forward to getting to know you." She said to Simon while looking closely to his lips up to his eyes. Her voice echoed into Simon's head.
After a while, Simon was asked why he'd threw knife to Refael. He was in front of Barbara and refael as he explained himself.
"I hate throwing things to people. Even at my own bar, I wouldn't throw spitballs at a gray table. I mean...I would never throw things honest to God!" He explained himself nervously while walking back and forth and suddenly stop "oh God. You guys can't say God, right?" He seriously asked the two and put his hand on his chin. Barbara was looking at him with fondness while Refael was irritated because he's blabby talker.
"For God's sake,what are you trying to say?" Refael said with irritation and raised an eyebrow while looking at Simon.
"I d-didn't mean to throw that thing." He said pointing out Refaels wound.
"Of course you did,darling. That's what makes you so amusing." Barbara replied with a full smirked on the face as she's amused by Simon.
"I don't find any of this amusing." Refael reacted and turned his gaze to Barbara who's beside him and he frowned.
"Me neither, I can't say how sorry I am." Simon interrupted. I..I can pay to have the whole thing---" he was not able to finish what he's about to say when Barbara snapped her fingers that made Simon stop and stuck for a moment. He was pointing out Refael's jacket that's been torn.
Refael moved away from Simon's hand and exhales deeply "Thank you. The living are so exhausting." He said feeling relieved and glanced at Barbara for a bit.
"But this one will be useful." She said referring to Simon, who's mouth was open.
"I don't know. I'm not sure breaking the accords was the best idea. If you'll forgive me for saying so." He said and walked towards Simon and glanced back to Barbara and winked.
"I'll forgive, but I won't agree*smirked*. You know as well as I do that Monroe will come after her dearest friend…or whatever. All we have to do is take her. Either she has the cup or we'll make her tell where it is." She said while staring at Simon with a fierce expression on her face.
