Mystic. [Old]

Chapter 16:

A full on week passed. More like two weeks. No sight of Jordyn or Victoria. God dammit. I knew I shouldn't have trusted them. No use in trusting other monsters. She sat in a corner with her papers, sulking. Tiffany also felt like she maybe wanted to cry. No. Crying over some strangers is ridiculous Tiff. Except... They looked like they were kinda more than strangers. She glared at the wall and began to have a migraine. UHG. I'm not having one of those damn sad memories again. Time to save another person from the lab.

***

I save the creature, and let them be by themselves in the real world. I don't want them to be something I have to care for like Jor or Tori. Fuck. Tiffany. You are getting jealous again. Well... They did leave me... Guess they didn't trust me so well after all. Tiffany gazed out the broken apartment window.

Creek. Creek. Tiff winced and spun around as she had a knife at a man's throat. He was taller than her, and wasn't an ordinary human, which she sensed. Dark brown hair? Strong probably. Looks kinda like a jock. Behind him we Victoria and Jordyn? What the hell? Tiffany gave a dark glare to the three of them and turned around sharply, not facing them. "Who are you. Why the hell are you here?"

"Nice greeting." He said dryly.  "I'm Derek. This is Tori and Jor. These two said that you were powerful and could use a team." Tiffany turned her head slightly as her eyes flashed to black with white pupils. Jordyn and Tori stumbled back a bit as Derek seemed unaffected. "Well? Are you gonna accept the fact or do I gotta make a dramatic greeting too?"

"Close the door." She watched carefully as he did so. "How did you know I was here?"

"Jordyn figured it out. Tori couldn't cause you ain't got a scent."

"What are you?"

"Werewolf, Vampire, Human, hybrid. And you?"

"A shadow/human hybrid." Tiff responded in a low voice. Jordyn walked up to Tiff and smiled a little. She seemed to have no reaction but the dark, cold stare that remained ever since they got there. "I never said I needed a team," she gazed at Derek. He chuckled a bit, "A one-man-team ain't gonna get every single lab experiment free." He has a point. Who is he? Never really seen him before. He probably eventually got into a lab, captured but got out. Tiffany scanned his face and read most of his thoughts. "What?"

"Nothing," she looked over at Tori then, down at Jordyn and saw both of their memories and thoughts. Tiffany's heart began to sink. Further and further. She saw the relationship between all three. Who is Jacob? Tori is dating Derek? They can both morph into wolves? Jordyn interfered with the two somehow. Tiffany made a dead serious expression and gazed at all three, she disappeared and simply turned invisible as they looked around, confused. "Where did she go?!" Derek yelled. Tori shrugged as Jordyn replied, "No idea?" Little did they know that she was in front of them watching. She sat on the ground and only listened quietly to their gibberish.

"Jealousy is a weakness Luminous."

"Yes sir..." Tiffany gazed at the Man's shoes. "If you saw a person dating or in love with your best friend what would you do?"

"What friends?..."

"I am being serious Lumi."

"Lash their throats out. Both of them."

"Tsk. Now we both know that isn't the way to go."

"Yes sir... I know."

"Now we must remind ourselves to calm down, relax. Don't feel depressed. Obey." Obey? Obey him. Obey the Man, that will fix every damn problem or disorder you got Tiffany.

"Yes sir."
