Reverse (Book 1 of The Hybrid Chronicles)(Completed and *Unedited*)

Chapter 3 - Kayden's Party

Kalen stood nervously at the mirror. The red dress had slimmed to her figure making it look skin tight on her body. She had striagten her red hair earlier make her hair flow directly on her shoulders. 

A knock on the door startled her. She quickly turned to clock to see it was 7:45. She quickly hurried to the door finding Jace and Dustin in a white hollister Tee and jeans. She smiled at them. 

"Hey, Kale! Ready for the party?" Dustin asked putting an arm around her. She laughed and looked at Dustin. 

"Oh, yes. Where's Cera?" She asked missing a piece of her friend not being here. 

"She's already at the party. We came to pick you up." Jace added with a hot smile. 

She blushed looking down at her feet. Relzation struck her. She did have any shoes. "One second." She said to Jace and Dustin who nodded in unison. 

Minutes later, she found black ballet flats and slipped them on her feet. Dustin and Jace greeted her with a smile. 

"Now can we go?" Jace asked impatiently. 

She laughed as she locked the door to her dorm room then joined them together in the hall. "Yes!" 

***

Pounding lights filled Kalen's ears as she entered Kayden's dorm. People were swaying with the loud music and vibrant colorful lights from up above. The furnarture had been moved to the side to fit everyone. 

Kalen looked around and soon spotted Cera talking to Kayden. She soon ran over without waiting for Jace or Dustin. 

Cera turned around, seeing Kalen come. She hugged her exciedly then pulled back with a wide smile on her face. Her black hair had been in a waterbraid wit ha black flowly dress to her knees. 

"Hey! You made it!" She said pulling back from Kalen and waving to the guys. "I was just talking to Kayden. He said that snuck in some drinks..if you know what I mean." 

Kalen shuddered. She didn't come here to drink. She wanted answers of what guy would throw a party for the undead. 

Cera ended her conversation with Kayden moving right to Jace and Dustin. Jace stared at Kalen wondering what was on her mind. 

Kalen grabbed Kayden's forearm and dragged him in the study in his room. Books were all over the place along with scraps of paper spread everywhere. 

Kayden looked at Kalen, suprised but curious that she pulled him from the party. 

"Kayden! Are you insane?!?" She yelled, not relizing her own anger. 

He shrugged. "No, Im not. It's just stupid fun we do." 

She raised her eyebrow. "Oh? Really?" She seethed. "In your invation it said' You'll the show the vampres who own the school!" She pointed out. 

Kayden sighed. "Look, do you want to know a secert?" he said getting more clsoe to Kalen. He could feel her beating heart and warmth in her body. 

Kalen stepped back, but Kayden's movement were quick to the touch. He moved his face to her ear, edging clsoe to her neck. She could feel the warth breath tingle with her flesh. She looked frightened eyes at Kayden, his eyes now a faint red. 

"We have been watching you. You got a good fighter in you. And as a vampire, everything would be heightened. Strength and speed. " 

She shuddered by the venomous tone of his voice. "What are you trying to do?" She asked shakily. 

He smiled calmly, not breaking his grip on her. "I want you to become one of us." She gasped, but his hand went over her mouth before she could make a noise. His hand went down quickly and she could speak again. 

"Why? This school hunts vampires. What's the use of being a vampire here anyway?" She asked trying to remain confidence.

Kayden bare his sharp, white fangs that poked the skin of her neck. Her body trembled with fear as she looked up into his now redder eyes. 

 "That's for me to know and you to find out." He whispered darkly in her ear. His fangs lightly pressed against the skin on her neck. 

"Why me? Jace is a great fighter and Dustin-." he cut her off with a hand on her mouth. She wanted to scream for her life. Go into the arms of Jace. 

Kayden only laughed with pleasure. "On the night of full moon, you must come here. Bring no one and no weaponary." 

He let go of her mouth once again. "The full moon is in three days!" She said helplessly. 

Kayden stood, letting his fangs go back into his mouth and his eyes to return to his normal blue. "Tell no one." he said darkly before dissappearing. 

Kalen stood, fear frozen in her body. She could feel her heart pound out of her chest. Instinctly, she moved a hand to her neck. A small blood drop was left on her hand. She shuddered. 

Footsteps suddenly creaked against the floorboards in his room. "Kale? Kalen?" 

She knew this voice for it was Jace. He found her staring into empty space. She looked almost as if she'd seen a ghost. 

"Kalen. You ok?" He asks reaching for a hair in her face. 

She looked up at him. "Yea, yea." She said quickly trying to forget everything that had happened. 

"Let's get back to the party. You missed Dustin drinking wine. he spit it out and called it a 'girly drink.'" She smiled and chuckled at Jace's answer. 

Jace looked at her knowing that she wasn't ok. They had been best friends for a long time and they knew everything about each other. 

He knew that when she get nervous, she would shake or shiver. When she got mad, she would punch a wall or hide out in the lucious forest for awhile. He knew that she wanted to know her family. That the only family she had was Dustin, Cera and Jace. 

As they walk back into the pounding room, a smile went on Kalen's face.He looked in that direction and saw Dustin getting slapped by a girl. "Bitch!" The girl yelled then walked away. He rhair was golden blonde. She wore a glitterily dress thay shimmered in the color changing light. Kalen walked over to him, laughing. 

Dustin rubbed his cheek to see Jace, Cera and Kalen over him. He chuckled nervously. "I guess girls don't like it when you try to kiss them." 

Cera had her hand on Kalen shoulder, using it to balance as she laughed along side her. "No, they don't. "
