Beautiful Creatures: 20 Days Left |DISCONTINUED FOR NOW|

Chapter 11: Jezebel?

Lena POV
I heard a noise and woke up with a jolt. Flipping on the light by my side, I looked around the room. My eyes fell on a person standing over the rug which covered the door to the Tunnels. Then I realized... This person was Jezebel.

"Ethan... Ethan wake up..." I shook my husband's sleeping form.

"Wha...?" He shocked awake.

But my attention had already returned to the trembling girl. "Jezebel... What're you doing here? Are Macon and Lila Jane with you?" I asked hopefully. By now Ethan had caught up.

"I... I... They left?"

I was disappointed... and surprised. Hadn't L.J. left with Jezebel?

"Wasn't she with you?"

"No... I... left before my birthday... She wasn't with me. Sorry."

"Are you okay, sweetie? Why did you leave?"

And that was when she lost it. She broke down crying, collapsing on the floor.

"Oh, Jezebel... Let me call your parents, sweetheart."

So, fifteen minutes later, Ethan, Jezebel, Link, Ridley, and I sat together at my kitchen table.

"What happened, Jez?" Ridley asked.

"I..." she took a breath. "I left because I thought I was going Dark. I... I've been in the Tunnels. I met these people... Tony, Krystal, and James. James... well, he was Claimed. He went Light, and now he's Dylan. They were Dark, and-"

"They were Dark? Jezebel, don't you be mixing up with the wrong crowd..." I warned.

"I won't... and it's Thalia now."

"Wait..." Ridley said. "Tony and Krystal?"

J-Thalia nodded.

"Oh, hon. Do you know about them? They're a group called the Dark Caster Crew... DCC..."

{A/N: skip her explanation cuz you've heard it before}

"Mom..." Thalia said sullenly. "They want five members... and... and I'm one of them..."

"What?" Ridley gasped. "Impossible..."

"Thalia... honey... pull your hood down, would you?"

Slowly, she pulled her hood back off her head, but her hair still covered her eyes.

"Thalia... Show us your eyes."

She looked up. And that's when I knew. We were not just sharing a table with a Dark Caster.

We were sharing one with a Cataclyst.

I just knew.

A/N: sorry it's so freaking short, but I wanted to update.
