Chapter Two

~Xavier~

Today is Tuesday and I now have six days to decide between Ryder and Jace. Shoot me now!!! Not really, don’t shoot me. I love both of them. I love myself more so I will probably choose myself. It’s the easiest way out I mean. Like come on. I’m hot. Who wouldn’t love me? Which Is my problem. Two guys love me and I love them back. School ended five hours ago but I stayed late to grade papers for the math teacher. She had a doctor’s appointment so I offered to stay late and grade them for her. The two papers I have left is Ryder’s and Jace’s. OF COURSE! Screw fate. Fate sucks ass. I looked at the clock and it reads 9:05. Holy shit I stayed late. I graded Ryder’s and he got a C. Then I graded Jace’s and he got the same grade. I guess they cheated off each other. Wait… Cheated? I sighed and put the papers in a pile and straightened up her desk. I locked her door and walked down the hall. School is so creepy when it’s dark. I heard a noise from behind me and I spanned around. I gulped. I started walking forward. Then I heard the noise behind me. I turned around and nothing was there. I turned back around and ran for the door. Then Callum jumps out and scares the living hell out of me. “WHAT THE HELL CALLUM?!” I shout and punch him in the arm. He started laughing hysterically. “What are you even doing here?” I asked still frightened. “I can ask you the same thing.” He mumbled and started laughing again. I gave him the death look. “I always come here at night. It’s sort of really cool here at night.” Callum points out. “Maybe for a witch but not for a banshee!” I spat at him. “You forgot coyote also.” He winks at me. I slap his arm playfully. “So, I heard you and Jace broke up.” Callum points out. “Just until I decide who I want to be with. Which is really hard by the way.” I inform. “Well which one do you see yourself being with in the future?” Callum asked. I started thinking. Yeah, nothing comes to mind. “That is the problem Callum. I can’t even see anything.” I point out. “Well….” He smiled at me. I raise an eyebrow. “I can put a spell on you, making you see through the eyes of your true love. It will only last for a day. So tomorrow at this time it would go away. Enough time for you to see who your true love really is.” Callum gestures. He can do that? I wish I was a witch. “You can do that?” I asked. He nods. “I can, but you can’t tell anyone. This is between you and me.” Callum says. I nod. He grabs my hand and walks me to a class room. He grabs a knife from his back pocket and lays it down on the table. My eyes widen to the fact he carries a knife. “Don’t be a girl.” Callum demands. I roll my eyes. “Ok, so I am going to cut your hand, and with your blood you make a heart with Jace’s name in it and Ryder’s.” Callum informs. He grabs my hand and slices it down the middle. He squeezes my hand making the blood dripped down on the table. I make a heart and write Jace’s and Ryder’s name in the middle. “True love is founded in the lover’s eyes. True love is founded in the lover’s eyes.” He said over and over and the blood started to bubble and formed inside the table. I watch the blood disappear into the table and I felt amazed. “It is done. Now look into the Ryder’s and Jace’s eyes and you will find the answer.” Callum smiled at me. “That was amazing. I smiled big. "Do you mind giving me a ride home?” I asked. “I walked. I have no car.” He responded. Oh… That’s right. “Well can you walk with me?” I asked sarcastically. He laugh and nodded. We walked into the hall and the janitor goes flying into the locker making me jump. “What the hell was that?” Callum asked. Here come someone walking towards the janitor. It looks like a guy. He has two, bodyguards on each side of him it looked like and they looked like beast. They turn to Callum and I. I started to scream. Callum covered his ears. The bodyguards came running towards us. Callum tries to throw them away but they wouldn’t move. “Well this is bad.” They slammed us against the wall with their minds. And the guy in the middle walks forward. He looks like a freaking hyena. His eyes were yellow. His face turns back to normal. I think I just seen a ghost. I wipe my eyes. And it was Bryan. The dad who I killed. I gulped. “You’re dead.” I point out. “Oh son, you seem scared.” He growled at me. “I killed you!” I scream at him. “And now I am back. Killing people. Because I am hungry for humans.” He laughed. “You are sick.” I spat at him. “You, my son, are just so inconsiderate.” He smiled at me. “What do you want from us?!” Callum shouted. “I don’t want anything. I just want you to know I am back and stronger than ever. Wait… In matter of fact I do want something. I want to kill Xavier Reed.” He says and turns back to me. I look at him in fright. “But I won’t kill my beloved son just yet.” He says and walks off. So did his soldiers. After he walks out of the school we slid down on the wall. Finally I can move again. Callum and I look at each other. “We have a big problem.” Callum points out. I gave him the no kidding look. If he is killing humans, then he is not doing the other murders…. That means whoever did the other murders, they are supernatural just like us. Welcome back to Heavens Woods Bryan. I laughed in my head. “You ok?” Callum asked. I nodded. “The other murders isn’t from him. The other killer is killing people that are supernatural.” I pointed out. “You know how crazy that sounds?” Callum asked. “You know how crazy seeing a dead person come to life again?” I asked sarcastically. He nodded. We sat in the hallway trying to take in what happened. Waiting for the cops to arrive. It took about two minutes until they arrived. “What happened here?” Said the two officers walking over to us. I looked up and one of them was my uncle. I looked at him awkwardly. “This is my nephew. Xavier. I’ll deal with these two.” Told Jack to the other officer. He nodded and left. “Now are you going to tell me what happened here?” Jack asked. “Bryan is alive.” I informed. Jack looked at me confused. “He is a hyena, and he has like these body guards/ soldiers.” I added. “Werehyenas.” Jack whispered. Callum and I look at each other. “They threw us against the wall with their minds. I couldn’t use my black magic. They were stronger then me.” Callum pointed out. “Yeah that is what they can do. The only way you can kill them is a gold and silver weapon which is rare. Or, a phoenix.” Jack responded. A phoenix? What the hell is a phoenix? “A phoenix is a fire bird. A phoenix can’t burn or die. They are rare to find. But they are out there somewhere.” Jack informs. He looks over at the other officers. “Ok, I’ll deal with the situation. You guys get out of here.” Jack demanded and we walked off. So the only way to kill Bryan and his soldiers is with things that are rare. Wonderful, just wonderful.

I woke up in my bed. I barely sleep here that much anymore. But it feels good to be home. Mom moved back here from California. Alena is still back in California at college which is great for her. She is living the life she wanted. Soon, I’ll be able to have that. I got ready for school and headed down stairs. “Hey mom.” I said and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Hi sweetie.” She smiled at me. I sit down at the island and ate a piece of toast. The back door opens and I look over. “You know you can use the front door right Shay?” Asked mom. “Oh I know. But this way is so much easier.” Shay laughed. I shook my head and finished my breakfast. “I’ll see you later mom. Love you.” I said and walked out. We got into Shay’s car and left for school. “Have you thought about who you were going to decide to be with?” Shay asked. “Not really. It’s just so hard.” I lied. All I have to do is look into their eyes. And I just know what exactly to do.

We arrived at the school and I walked to my locker. I was grabbing some books when my locker shut and Jace stood on the other side. “So what did you want to talk about?” He asked. Oh yeah, I forgot I texted him this morning. I looked at him in the eyes and I fell right in. I see me and Jace holding hands walking down the beach. It looked different then Washington. Somewhere I’ve seen before. California maybe? I looked down at our hand and we had rings on. Oh my god… Are we married? I asked myself. Then two little kids come running to us. We have kids too? “Hey daddy’s.” The little girl said. I wanted to cry after that. I zoomed out. “So are you going to talk or just stare at me awkwardly?” Jace asked. I smiled at him. “I’ll talk to you later instead.” I gestured and walked off to class. I sat behind Logan and Ms. Fallon stared at me awkwardly. Why is she staring at me? She walks over to me and leans down to whisper into my ear. “So… Which have you chosen?” She asked. Does everyone know about this? “I don’t know yet.” I responded aggressively. She grins and walks away. It sucks having a supernatural teacher. Ryder walked into class and Ryder stared at me as he walked passed. Callum winks at me. I guess that is my cue. I got up and walked over to Ryder in the back. “I need to talk to you.” I demanded to Ryder. He turned to me and I looked him into the eyes. I fell right in. I see myself talking to Ryder. More like arguing and me crying. We are arguing about trusting each other. Well at least I know that we would have that problem. Then I look over and a little girl is holding her ears from us screaming at each other. I look over at our hands and we have don’t have rings on. I zoomed out. I started to tear up. Some what I hoped that it would be Ryder I would be with. But I guess the heart wants what it wants. “Never mind.” I smiled and walked back to my seat. I wanted to cry now. Although I know who my true love really is, I still am going to have a hard time getting over Ryder. I guess that is ok though. I sighed and listened to Ms. Fallon teach the class. She is talking about American Literature back in the 1800’s. I don’t really understand literature back then. The words that they used is beyond something that I could ever understand. The words they use is like, “Shall, Beloved, thee,” and whatever comes to mind. I don’t even understand some words people use in this century. I have my own dictionary. Called “The Xavier dictionary.” My words I use are so much better. It would be cool if I had a dictionary made for me. I would know everything in my dictionary. The bell ringed and I walked out to head to my second class. When all of sudden I started hearing a noise. The noise sounds like plants moving around. Like in the woods. I followed the noise. Not concentrating on where I am going. I just keep looking down following the noise. I walked for about ten minutes and I looked up seeing a body hanging from a vine and the head is on the ground. He must been a supernatural. I saw the blood and started to scream as loud as I can.
