Jerome's POV

The next morning was chaos, nothing but pure panic.

Turns out, the secret group had found Seto; and his entire army.

And Seto had found them.

Seto hadn't killed them, but instead gave them a message.

"I'm coming."

Not his best threat message but it was okay. Spooked the hell out of Preston. Pussy.

And his army was supposedly made of dead souls. Which was interesting.

After knocking some sense into Mitchell he finally gathered up the courage (and anger) to get geared up. His sorrow had turned to blood lust and it was honestly a good look for him.

We'd left moments before the, what I supposed was the first wave of shadow men along with Tyler and the rest.

We'd managed to get by without being noticed, which I was honestly grateful for. Shadow men were the least of our concern, sure they were strong but a strong hit to the heart would have them dead within seconds. I just didn't want to be cornered because sure, we had our powers but I'd given Mitch and Tyler important instructions to not use them unless necessary.

We each had our weapon of choice along with daggers & a machete, along with basic necessities like water bottles & some packaged food. Our chances of being caught unarmed were slim to none.

Our main goals was to find Seto and eliminate him, but I had the feeling he wouldn't be easy too reach.

As we ducked through the forest, I noticed seeing less and less of Seto's army. But every now and then a large group of them would run through the trees, towards the camp.

What weirded me out though was that, one group had seen us, and it completely ignored us. I'd addressed that to the rest of the group and no one had an explanation.

Not that I was expecting them to.

Despite Mitch's protests to go kill every group of shadow men we saw and every few sneaky snips he'd made throughout our walk, we never had to kill any shadow men or second thought about them.

I'd never seen him so blood hungry before, at this point I didn't think much about it, but god I should've.

a/n; tysm for the support you guys helped me so much. I can't thank anyone enough.

just a heads up though, later on I'll be re writing the entire book, maybe make a new cover, etc. only because I don't like 'merome's' relationship in the story. I don't think it fits, but that'll be later so don't worry.

I'm focused on finishing this book atm then maybe start something for the next one (which may be a little/lot shorter then this one. It depends.)

Again thank you all, thank you for reading & supporting & I hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
