The Immortal Cure

13. Jaymi

"I'm so glad you're here" I smiled to Jaymi as Parry, Riley and I sat in Riley's room, battling it out in turns as we played the PlayStation.

Jaymi and I sat beside each other watching Riley and Parry collect gold coins on their game.

"Well, I'm glad too" She smiled bright and happy towards me.
"I know what it's like to have to hang around a bunch of halfwit boys like these guys and its torture" She laughed

"Just because we're concentrating, doesn't mean we can't hear you" Parry grunted as he leaned forward, swivelling the ps3 remote around.

"Whatever" Jaymi narrowed her beautiful blue eyes at him, tossing back her long wavy red hair.

Jaymi and I - so far - had a lot in common, she was beautiful and kind, but I sure wouldn't have liked to get on her bad side, even though she was the same height as me, and probably the same weight, I had no doubt she would be fast, and agile.

"So why did you agree to come on this dangerous journey anyway?" I asked curiously as I looked towards her and Parry

"I just like to fight" Parry growled as he concentrated hard on the television

Jaymi rolled her eyes before turning back to me
"Parry's had it out for Ryde ever since he was turned" She started tilting her head sideways as she spoke casually
"I agreed to it after I heard that there was another cure alive. I knew Thomas and his family... " She trailed off looking down "I used to babysit his little sister" She confessed smiling weakly

I placed a hand on her knee "I'm sorry" I apologised, meeting her eyes

"It's okay. What's done is done, right?" She smiled, patting her hand on top of mine on her knee

"So what happens from here on out, do we just sit around here waiting for them to attack?" I asked, changing the subject

"Dang it, we missed a coin!" Riley cursed, throwing his hands up in the air

"There's a few plan's circulating. That's what the others are doing downstairs at the moment, trying to figure out which one is the best course of action" Parry spoke, leaning back in the sofa, as he turned his head towards me.

"So why aren't you guys down there?" I asked

Parry shrugged, "We don't needa' be, were just recruits, whatever plan the boss's come up with, we just go along with" He shrugged

"I know Harris and Grant have powers and that, along with Duke and Seth, but, what about the rest of you?" I asked, digging

Jaymi smiled and Parry just rolled his eyes

"Parry doesn't and Darius doesn't. But I do" Jaymi licked her perfect teeth
"It comes in great use when around a ton of boys that annoy you"

"We all have that ability Jaymes, you're just more advanced in it than the rest of us" Riley defended, clicking buttons on the controller

I looked in between them waiting patiently for further answers

"Has anyone told you about what we do when we drink from humans to erase memory?" Jaymi began, watching me

I nodded "It's like glamouring from true blood" I replied

Parry let out a wild roar of laughter "That's such a lame show" He mumbled, shaking his head

"Well, I'm extremely good at it. Unlike the others that have to touch a person, or look deep into their eyes, I simply just have to concentrate hard enough. Sometimes I can even manipulate them into doing exactly what I want" She smiled, explaining herself
