One Hell of a Wake Up Call...

(Jay POV)

"Jay... Jay, wake up... Jay!" Fujin said grabbing my shoulder I looked up at him.

"What did I tell you about waking me up?" I asked.

"But it's an emergency!" Fujin whined.

"What could you possibly want this time?" I asked sternly.

"Daelynn won't make breakfast." He explained. I punched him in the shoulder.

"Go cook for yourself." I said covering myself with the sheet once more. I fell back asleep.

I later woke up with a massive paw on my face.

"Ragin, down!" I said to my tiger who proceeded to pounce onto my bed and curl up on top of my legs.

"Get off!" I yelled. Ragin walked to my face, turned around, sat down and flicked his tail repeatedly in my under my nose. I grabbed his tail and yanked it a few times. Ragin hopped off the bed. Finally, Tails walked into the room and rubbed his tail on my arm. He hopped up and tried to cuddle me. I grabbed the fox and threw him across the room. I climbed on to the top bunk. None of the top bunks were occupied since it was only Fujin, Philoso and I.

I fell back asleep.

"Jay! Are you going to get up at all today!?" Rin yelled as she walked into the room.

"I haven't gotten any sleep since four days ago, I deserve a day off." I replied.

"It's ten in the morning! And Fujin and Daelynn were attacked!" She said.

"What!?" I yelled jumping off the bed. I followed Adrinna to the girls sitting room where Fujin and Daelynn were sitting. Daelynn looked up at me. I bent down to her.

"Who did it?" I asked.

"I didn't get his name, he had the power to bend blood." She said.

"He threatened to kill us! He wanted Wen!" Fujin yelled. Philoso flipped through a few pages in a book.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Trying to find out anything about a blood bending origin." He said throwing the book.

"He had a Coursingstreak symbol on his back." Daelynn said as I helped her stand up.

"Hang on." Philoso said grabbing a few more books. "If I'm correct, there's gotta be something here." He said again. The book was prison records on various Coursingstreaks... Volume one of five...

"What did he look like?" Philoso asked.

"His eyes were black, but whenever he was using his powers, they turned blood red. And his hair was black. He was also wearing a grey scarf, if that helps." Lynn explained.

"This may take a while..." Philoso said.

A few hours later, He found something in the third volume.

"Please tell me this is him." Philoso begged.

"Yeah, that's him." Lynn said wrapping a blanket around herself.

"Zukiyo T. Dailoin. Probably sixteen, reports and various warnings of the ability to bend blood, and went to prison for dragon slaying. All five dragons from the same family. Earned himself one hundred years in prison." Philoso said out loud.

I took the book, it was a fairly accurate sketch of a twelve year old.

"Then why isn't he in the updated prison records?" I asked looking at the updated copies of the prison records.

"King Xavier must've really wanted him... Probably bailed him out and cleared his records." Philoso explained.

"The Ritters are desperate." Lynn commented.

"The bad Ritters you mean." Cait pointed out, with slight sass. Everyone blankly stared at her. "What...? Not all Ritters are bad, you know... Okay I'll just shut up now." After that, she promptly dropped onto the couch with a sigh.

Philoso patted Cait's head lightly, which ended with her smacking his hand away. Philoso shook his head and moved back to face Lynn and Fujin.

"We need to be careful. If this guy really is working for the Ritter royalty, the army could show up anytime." Philoso said, while he turned to face me.

"Wen needs to be protected. I want two people with her, at all times. Adiva and Silver, you two first." I said, my voice holding a tone that said do not argue or you will regret it. Silver, who looked terrified, and Adiva nodded. They moved over to Ceridwen, though the Kler did not look happy about it.

With a nod, I dismissed the group, and moved off to the kitchen to get brunch. I could hear Wen fussing over Daelynn and Fujin, and sighed. This was going to be a long day.
