Y/N's POV :

To be honest, I was scared going to the dark forests alone but I wouldn't show that to anyone especially not jackson. As I kept walking, I heard a voice.

"Happy Birthday, kid."  Jackson's voice was smooth but carried a chilling undertone. "Brave of you to trust what I said and come alone all this way" his voice echoed throught the trees. "And you still aren't brave enough to show up infront of me" I shout in the dark.

Suddenly with a swoosh of wind jackson showed up infront of me.

"You're just like her... your mother." he said moving close to me. My eyes narrowed as I try to push away the growing tension. "Cut the crap, Jackson. You left me that note. What do you want?"

JACKSON : Straight to the point, huh? I like that. Well, let's not waste time with pleasantries then. I want you to join me. You have potential—so much untapped power. Don't waste it on a lost cause.

Y/N : Oh please, the dramatic recruitment speech? You really think I'd betray them and side with you? I've got enough family drama without turning into the villain's sidekick.

JACKSON : No, no. You see, you have it all wrong. The Shadow Slayers... they've kept you in the dark about a lot. They're afraid of you, of what you can become. But with me, you'd be unstoppable, Y/N. Your potential is being wasted with them

Y/N : Unstoppable? Right. Because nothing says 'power' like turning your back on your own blood, right? Or did you forget you killed your sister? My mother

JACKSON : She was blinded by her love for the Shadow Slayers. She could have been so much more, but she chose loyalty over strength and I had no choice. She stood in my way.

Y/N : You didn't have a choice? There's always a choice. You just chose wrong.

JACKSON : You sound just like her. So idealistic. She was the same, thinking there was some grand way to save everyone. But sometimes... sacrifice is necessary. So choose your decision wisely and join me.

Y/N : You're insane if you think I'll join you after what you did to her. I can make my own decisions and I won't be your pawn, Jackson..

JACKSON : You think you've been sneaking around, making decisions on your own? You might want to rethink that. I've been watching you, Y/N. Always watching.

Y/N : Creepy much? Guess you had nothing better to do than stalk your niece.

JACKSON : Stalking? No. I'm just ensuring my legacy doesn't fall into oblivion. Like that midnight stroll you took with Tae. Remember? You two thought you were being so secretive, sneaking out of the house while everyone slept. Cute, really. How he convinced you to go all the way down to the beach. You probably thought no one would notice, didn't you?
