Jayden's year of grief (Sequel to the hybrid ranger)

Chapter 1 Jayden & Lauren go to college

One day Jayden was packing things for college. He hasn't been the same since I died after I saved everyone from getting hurt or killed by Master Xandred. Lauren is also going to college. She decided to talk to Jayden. "Hey Jayden." Lauren said as she walked into his room. "Hey." Jayden said without looking up. "Okay Jayden, what is going on? You've been like this for a few days now." Lauren said. "It's just, I really miss our sister." Jayden said. "I know. I miss her too, but she did what she had to do." Lauren said.

"I've been getting a lot of nightmares about Ariel dying, I'm totally loosing it." Jayden said. "I know." Lauren said as she hugged Jayden. Jayden hugged her back and started to cry. It was almost like Lauren was always a shoulder to cry on not just for Jayden but for me too, when I was still alive. I wish I could have stayed with them but unfortunately, I couldn't. Later that night Jayden couldn't sleep. He was thinking about me too much. Lauren decided to sing the lullaby from the hunger games to Jayden to help him fall asleep.

Our dad used to sing it to us when we couldn't fall asleep. I only got to hear him sing it to us for the first two years of my life. After his death Lauren would sing it to me and Jayden when we couldn't sleep but if none of us could sleep and if Lauren didn't feel like singing it Mentor Ji would sing it to us to help us fall asleep. The next morning Jayden went out for his early morning run. When he got back from his early morning run Lauren was making sure that she had everything she needed for college. Jayden went back to his room to finish packing for college. Lauren decides to take the wolf charm necklace with her and Jayden decided that he is going to take the guitar and song book that I gave to him before I died. John has moved on ever since I died. He's with Lauren now but he never forgot about me. Whenever he needed some guidance he would see if Lauren and Jayden could help him and if they couldn't he usually came outside to talk to me. I told him that he could also go to Mentor Ji for guidance and if he can't help he can always come to me for guidance. The next day on the way to the college Jayden was being very quiet. "You're very quiet today Jayden. Is there something on your mind?" Lauren said. "Yeah, there's this kid that has been picking on you. I'm afraid that if I step in too much I'll just escalate the situation. But if I don't step in, you're going to get hurt." Jayden said. "Well, who's weaker, me or the bully? The bully is trying to cover up his own feelings or weaknesses." Lauren said. "Did anyone ever tell you that you're smart Lauren?" Jayden asked. "Yes. I tell myself that every day." Lauren said. "Well, I don't know if I should step in or not." Jayden said. "Remember when Emily was getting picked on during recess when we were younger?" Lauren asked. "Yeah, but I didn't step in, Ariel did." Jayden said. "Do you remember what she told us when we got home that day?" Lauren said. "She told us to never be afraid to stand up for someone that is having a little bit of trouble standing up for themselves." Jayden said. (Flashback: Jayden, Lauren, and Ariel got home from school.
Young Ariel: Jayden, Lauren, I have something to tell you guys.
Young Jayden & young Lauren: What is it that you have to tell us?
Young Ariel: Don't ever be afraid to stand up for someone that is having a little bit of trouble standing up for themselves.
End of flashback.)
"Is there anything else on your mind?" Lauren asked. "Yeah, lately I've been getting Ariel's voice in my head but I don't know why." Jayden said. "What is she saying?" Lauren asked. "She's saying something about a battle that is not over but I don't understand it. Why would she be saying that?" Jayden asked. "Maybe it's a calling." Lauren said. "What do you mean by calling?" Jayden asked. "I think that calling is trying to tell you that maybe someone is in danger." Lauren said. "Do you think that I would have found out by now if someone was in danger? Because, I would have totally found out something about that by now if someone was in danger." Jayden said. Later that night as he is sleeping he hears a vocal noise and remembers it from frozen 2, from the song into the unknown.

He somehow remembers me singing it after our dad died. He has been feeling really incomplete without me.

I am kinda worried about him. He hasn't talked to me ever since I died. Lauren, John, and Mentor Ji have been talking to me. I asked them if Jayden will ever talk to me and they told me to give it time and that he will talk to me when he is ready but after months of no contact with him I just gave up on trying to contact him. The next day Lauren tells me that Jayden has a therapist at the college. "Well, I think he definitely needs one." I said. "Actually, I talked him into it. He didn't want to have a therapist but I told him that it might help a little." Lauren said. "Okay, well, I hope that the whole therapist thing helps him a little." I said. "You and me both." Lauren said. The next day John was looking through stuff in my old room and found two spell books that he didn't know that I had. "What are these spell books doing here? Better yet, how could she have kept this a secret from us?" John asked himself. Mentor Ji walked into my old room. "Hey John, are you doing okay?" Mentor Ji said. "Yeah, it's just, look what I found." John said. He showed him the two spell books.

"Looks like she always had a thing with magic." Mentor Ji said. "Well, I didn't know about this." John said. "To be perfectly honest here, none of us knew about this." Mentor Ji said. "How did she get these?" John asked. "I have no idea." Mentor Ji said. "Is it possible that she could have been a witch?" John asked. "John, listen, you know as well as anyone else that she was just a shapeshifter wolf. There is no way that she was a witch. If she was she would have told us." Mentor Ji said. Then he walked out of the room.
