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

Chapter 16 - Breathless

Jace watched as Kalen fell into a deep sleep. It consumed her like a drug. Her chest moved evenly up and down. He carefully lifted his hand up to her stomach feeling her strong ribs. No bruises or bumps. Kalen's ribs had healed while he carried her into bed. 

Kayden walked in a small smiling on his face but it was covered by jealously in the back of his  mind. Not only had Renee had hurtJace but staked Kalen. He shk his head as he gazed up at Jace who was now stroking her hair gently. 

He sighed as Jace didnt realize he was even there. He sufflled his way downstairs to the living room as he at down exasuased. He turned on the TV to see Principal Rice holding a piece of paper like a script to her face. Her ahoulder brown hair had became greasy with the unfit of sleep to her routine. 

"Today, we all remember Mr. Wright. He was a wonderful teacher that had added to this school. We are currently undergoing his death and we want all students to attend the manatory meeting tonight at 8. It will be in the training gym. Til tonight." She spoke with clearity and not an ounce of worriness in her voice. 

Kayden mouth hung wide open as he saw Cera sit next to him watcjing the annoucement in shock as well. 

"Another vampire? Vampire hunters? Geez, I say we are liked." She said sarcastically. 

Kayden turned off the TV in pure anger. He got up his hand enclosed in a fist. Every ounce of him was so upset of what I had. Kalen dying and being attacked. Cera was a part of that too. 

He punched the wall as the dry wall flew specks of dust at him. Cera sat just watching staring at the hole just made. 

 Cera walked over to him, cautiously at first.

"M-My girlfriend! D-Did she actually do that?" Kaydens face was now streamed of tears as Cera tooks his bloody hand and instantly and healed it. He watched as the skin layered itself and soon was back to normal. 

"I know." She said softly placing her hand on his cheek. 

He tried to push her away but instead brought her closer hugging her. He cried on her shoulder as she made small circles on his back trying to calm him on down. 

And they stayed like that.

Annabeth stood up and looked around the room feeling some ruffle, a new noise her ears couldnt quite put a name too. 

Gathering a silver dagger engraved:

Ululate, et non est qui te audiat, si

Howl, even if there's no one to hear you

She lived by that quote everyday of her life knowing that it said exacatly that. 

Her eyes sparkled silver a like a metal as something burst through the door. In awe, she quickly hid herself in her closet as she watched black hair guys walk in her room. 

"A girl on campus said that Kalen talked to her." One said. His features were strong, tall and muscluar with golden eyes. 

The one with hazel eyes gazed over at him then locking his eyes on a picture frame that sat overlooking her dresser. 

"Well, im sure Ms. Chance can prove to the makings?" He said surely with a husky voice. 

"Yes, Dan. Im sure she can." Deacon retorted as he made his way to the doorway. 

"Theres nothing here but we cant dissappoint our master. We need to find it." Dan said panic rising in his body. 

Deacon scoffed as if it was a gentle joke. "Fiinding the sword won't change anything. He'll just end up still being our master....unless...."
