Between Darkness and Light: book 1

Chapter 4 : Another way.

in the afternoon, in Light's room, he was preparing for the third day of the training, he went to the wardrobe and get his favorite shirt, a white one with one black line. He wear it as he tied up his wavy silver hair.
Before he took his bag, he heard his phone ringing
"yes Milla?" he answered
"Light! Hurry to miss Minory's house ! Amy isn’t ok!, I am in my way!" she said as she runs fast trying to Minory's house!
Amy was in her bed , her body keeps getting hotter by the minute , she shrieked in pain.
"please Amy ! stay still! I will do everything I could! Damn it! Marcel! Bring me the vessel and the flower in the kitchen!" said Minory she was nervous as she trying to bend Amy down to not move.
"it hurts!"
"I know! It hurts like hell!" said Minory as she wipe the sweat off her forehead.
In minutes Phobus came , "whoa whoa? What Is happening?" he asked , "we need to cool her down! Try to fill the bathtub with cool water , that might help"
Phobus rushed to the bathroom to do what Minory told him.
Marcel came with the vessel and the yellow flower, "now marcel as I taught you , put a little of that mist and then cut that little stock from the flower and put it with the mist and start the third case in the white magic book. Don’t be afraid it wont affect you , I prevent it from you!, ok baby?" she said, he nodded in silence and nervous as Amy trying to break free from Minory's hands.
Phobus came back "hey, its ready!, come on let me carry her" said Phobus.
Phobus carefully carried Amy and took her to the bathroom and carefully, slowly puts her in the water , as she begins to slow her moves and trying to breath, Minory grips into Phobus's black shirt from behind as she looks at Amy , Amy begins to breath slowly.
As her breath keeps slow down , and she stopped moving
In the last breath, Minory quickly pulled Phobus and he fell on the floor "get out! Hurry !" she shouted , she raised her hand above the bathtub and begins to say magical words!

"I know I shouldn’t use this kind of magical arts, it will affect the child. But at least I will be saving someone important".
She thought to herself , as those magical words begins to form in a circle ! just in time ! Light and Milla arrived!
As Amy begins to flow from the bathtub and a red aura surround her
Milla's jaw dropped open! , Light looked at her , then Minory said the last world "RELEASE" and before she fell to the water Light and Milla rushed and catches her !
Minory catches her breath, "just in time , that's good you two." Said as she felt dizzy , "is it done." Asked Phobus.
"yeah, now, ugh.. we need to go to the hospital!" said Minory as Phobus shouted back "YOU ARE GIVING BIRTH RIGHT NOW? THE HELL" he went to start the car , then came back to Minory.
As they went , marcel came "mom I --? Where is mom?" said marcel holding the glass.
"you mama went to give birth to your little bro , your dad is with her. Don’t worry" said Milla in shock.
"oh ! , ok come to this room , put Amy in the bed." Said marcel.
Light and Milla went to the room, he carefully put her to the bed, "do you think this is all because of her powers? Maybe she is really under the right age to use it. Or.." said Milla and she looked at Light , who is lost in thinking why ?
"maybe there is some.. thing? in her body refuses.. the power or maybe because she used it suddenly." Said Light.
"I will call kylee, to help me. Go and finish the training , we will come back if we make sure she is ok."
"alright." He said then set in the chair near the bed.
After that kylee, Reiza and Odin ..came
Kylee and Reiza helped Milla in changing Amy's wet clothes.
They finally put her to rest.
And light went as jarred finishes his training early.
….
In another place , Hightly's haunted mansion, Vincent were chained by his hands, half naked , as there was a tall man torturing him with chains.
His body was full of injuries and blood all over the place.
He was silent as always, but then a door opened a man with red hair and smirk on his face, it was Jalbatorex, he walked inside the dark room, only the torch lighter lights the place.
"so? Are you having fun my dear son? Is he treating you nice?" said Jalbatorex, Vincent never respond. He stays silent
"oh~ you are tired.. you want to see the red haired woman?"
As soon he heard that he glared at him, "i..swear if you touch her.. you will regret your whole…life" said Vincent in weak voice.
Jalbatorex chuckled as he looks down at Vincent , "look to what you have become, a hopeless vampire.. ha! A pathetic creature. No one even looks at you.. even that stupid crystallian ! she didn’t EVEN consider anything you did to her! I TOLD you that your weak and pathetic care won't make any thing change! Your weak white lovely heart of yours WON'T and WILL NEVER change this worlds cruelty! ACCEPT it Vincent! No one can change this fucking world, no matter how hard you grow stronger, no matter how hard you try! Teach! Learn everything in this world go to waste. YOU are a waste!" he said as he begins to be angry out of the sudden,
"that’s only because.. you choose to see it that way. My mother never wanted to see it the way you did.. you are a failure , a big failure, hah mother is lucky that she hasn’t lived long enough to witness what you have become" said Vincent as he grins , that only made Jalbatorex to go mad, shouting in furious and with his foot he hit Vincent in his head as the chains crashed ! and Vincent bumped his face to the ground very hard.
"you BROUGHT all the curses to this family! it is your fault!!" said Jalbatorex as he went out the place he was enraged,
Vincent stayed on the floor, trying to gather his power to rise up from the floor, he coughed blood , the huge man with the chains walked to rechain Vincent again ,as he bent to grasp Vincent's hand, with a quick move Vincent wrapped the chain around the huge man's neck and violently pulled it as he pushed with one leg the man's body away!
And he broke the man's neck.
He let out a sigh,
"its been so long since I killed innocent soul. And it feels…good"  he thought.
In the midnight 01:30 am.
In Minory's house, the 7 kids gathered there ,
Amy finally opened her eyes.. "Vincent..?" she manage to say..
" Amy!" Light let the book he was reading,
"do you feel any better..? I am sorry..i-" said Light,
"me? Um..i guess..w-why all of you--? Did something happened." She asked "you don’t remember, you had a fever.. miss minory helped you and we came at the end." Said light ,
"you woke up princess?, good here drink some water." Came Odin and hands her the glass, she thanked him, then she lost trying to remember something..
Kylee woke up " oh! You are finally awake !" she came and hugged Amy
"oh hey Amy? Are you getting better, mom said you need to drink that. It is a little sore , but it will make you feel even better" said marcel, he took the other glass and give her the other one.
Amy looked at it as her expressions changed "a-are you sure ? I mean It looks disgusting" said Amy , "uh? Mom said trust her.." he answered and smiled
After that Amy drink the cure , but by minutes she felt as if she would throw up , she went running to the bathroom.
"aww.. that poor girl." Said Milla.
In the hospital , Minory give birth to the new baby boy.  Merick and Lena were there as Raik and Selena just arrived.
Minory gives birth to her third child, they named him Dimitry.
….
Back to Minory's house , the kids spend the second night at Minory and Phobus house ,
While they were talking , Jarred went out the house to answer his phone. As soon as he finished Reiza went out but she didn’t saw him so she got surprised , he hid his grin by looking away then o her , "I am sorry.." he spoke
"oh, n-no its ok , I was just..i wanted some fresh air." She said nervously, and quickly looked away, as she looked at the distance she noticed someone is coming to their way! Jarred noticed her expressions changes then he sensed the familiar presence! He looked at the same direction!
And before he could talk, Reiza quickly pushed Jarred ! and she got punched in the stomach and she bumped to the door and it crashed.
Jarred looked at the man in disbelief ! "Vincent..".
As Vincent ignored him and wanted to walk inside "Light!! EVERYONE!!" he shouted , but they were lucky, Minory always been ready for the enemies! The house was protected by a protection spell! Vincent looked at his hands as it healed from the burns it gets from the protection wall.
Jarred took the chance to hit Vincent ! but Vincent was fast he backward somersault! He glared at Jarred , "do not interfere!" , then he begins to hit the protection wall! "omg! He is going to break through!!" said Reiza as kylee came to help her, "damnit! We need to call his majesty" .
Jarred get up again to fight Vincent , yet Vincent hits him really hard that made him bleed , "no please!! Stop it!" Amy shouted , she was standing inside the protection wall, the house entrance!
He let Jarred as he looked at Amy , " come to me , Rosamylia." He said.
"y-you have changed… you are not Vincent anymore." She said.
He kept his silence as he walked toward the house, "I won't come out.. I just want to save my family , my kind..i will come with you if you give me a real reason!, I swear I will!!" said Amy as the rest looked at her , "you don’t know what you are talking about Amy !!" said Odin,
"I do! But I have no choice ! " she said.
Vincent wanted to talk, but deep down , he couldn’t , he looked down as if he was defeated.
Then both of their eyes met.
"she is completely different.." Vincent thought to himself.
As Amy was waiting his answer. Viper ! Vincent brother showed up!
"well, I guess she needs to know Vincent, am I right?" he said, Vincent knew well that noisy voice, he glared at him,
"do not interfere viper, this is not your concern." Said Vincent,
"wrong..i am your twin, we should always have the same things, fights , missions and everything, that concerns me as it is to you." Said as he stands between Amy and Vincent , "your father.. I mean fake-father, had a little problem named ""balance"" , that balance is you Rosamylia and Victoria.. his beloved wife." He said , Amy got shocked so Jarred too.
"I am warning you to shut your mouth viper..i do not want to end your life.. right here." Said Vincent.
"he has that curse , that our father gift him, jalbatorex made Vincent life a pathetic one! He can't touch his wife. He can't let go of Amy , only a little of time, then maybe Victoria or Amy would die.. by the three next month. Or he may lose both of you." As he said that Vincent kicked him and he fell on the floor and stitches the thin sword into his hand, "aahhhrrrghh!! Damnit! Did I say so much! Eerrghh, damnit it hurts." He shrieked.
"why did you do that to your own brother! And why didn’t you told me anything about the curse! Weren’t we are family! or because—" before she continue he spoke "we never been a family Rosamylia.. we will never be..i have a son , but he died long time ago, and I can't bring him back to life, even if he was a vampire." Said Vincent , Jarred looked at Vincent in disappointment, Amy got confused..but remembering the past when she shouted and got angry at him.. she gathered her words to ask, "who killed him?"
He just looked at her eyes as if he told her by telepathy , she looked confused , yet she closed her eyes in fear. "ok, I will come with you.." said Amy , before she moves Light stopped her "no. you won't, I am not letting you go this easily." He said as he stands front of her ,
Vincent looked at Light, as he never liked Light,
"you know that very well Mr.forlmans , I never accepted you as a friend of Rosamylia.. you know what I mean" he said.
"I am sorry to hear that Mr.Vincent , but I do not care." Light showed his scythe. As he got ready to strike , with no time they engaged into a battle fighting as the rest got scared of how Light didn’t get any hit from Vincent !
"he is… amazing!" said Milla.
as they were fighting ! Theodore showed up in the right time!
Between them blocking both their strikes !
"ohh! Did I take my time kids? I apologize I have three meetings." He said as he looked at Vincent ,
Vincent backed off ,"king Theodore…" he murmured.
"that’s right, now , you need to leave, Vincent , before things get ugly." Theodore.
As he knew he don’t have a chance against king Theodore , he wanted to say something, yet he lift his fainted brother from the floor and disappeared.
Theodore let a sigh, "are you all ok? Kids?" he turned to them,
They got inside the house ,
"he just showed up , we were just there having some f-fresh air!" said Reiza.
"its fine now. You are all ok, right..?" he said as he begins to check on them,
Amy looked at Jarred , knowing he isn’t ok, "king Theodore.. Vincent said he had a son.. do you know anything about that?" she asked.
"hmm..well, I don’t really know , but I might know someone who knows things better." Said Theodore.
"please! I need to know! Also I need to help Vincent! Before he or Victoria get hurt!"
"ok, don’t worry , I will talk to Minory, oh right? Where is Minory?" he asked.
"she is in the hospital!" Milla answered
Theodore covered his face with both hands, "I am a terrible friend.." he murmured then he get up
"ok , kids , today will be a rest , just attend the school. And don’t be out late, I might send my driver to get you for the meeting. If I didn’t forget." He said
They agreed , then he noticed Jarred, "Jarred I will leave this to you. For today." He smiled to him and patted his shoulder.
…
It became 9:12 AM.
Amy and Marcel went to the school together.
In the class, Amy noticed another student, she looked at him in confusion, as he smiled a little and changed his direction giving her his back.
"oh….ok" 
As always the noises is overload from this classroom, yet the Amy waited for the French language class, but Vincent didn’t show up! She got worried ! Kylee could feel Amy's nervousness!
In the break Amy runs out to a place where no one can be in the highest spot , she unlocked her phone and looked at Vincent's number!
She wanted to call him yet she stopped and took a deep breath..
She remembered when he came , the blood in his white shirt.. those little injuries..
She wrote in a message " hi, it me Amy..i know you won't believe me, I know the two of us has changed , but even if you disagree with what I would do , I will help you, and free Victoria from this curse. Also , I do not forget anything easily." Sent !
She sigh, as get up to get back to her friends, in the way back she found Jarred, setting in the school yard,
"hey jarred." She smiled.
He smiled a little..
"what is it you are thinking about?" she asked.
"training,"
"oh! You missed training ! tough guy!"
"well, it’s the only way to get me out of this cloudy thinking."
"ugh.. right… its hard.. you know. I was thinking in helping Vincent.. finding his son. I mean I need to be sure of that. I just had that feeling he don’t even know if his son still alive, so I want to work hard this time to find him and get him back with them."
Jarred smiled at the words Amy said, " you are a good person Amy. Will , I think I know where to go. Meet me near the restaurant I will take you to someone who could help. I- I also need to tell you something." He said then he get up.
"uh, ok.." he nod and went , Amy looked at the sky.. "am I a good person?"
…
After the school everyone got to their home expect for Jarred and Amy. They went for the old man in the library ,
As they entered the old man looked at them in bored way, "don’t you get enough of these!?" he said
"I am sorry, but I am an informative person, I won't get enough of any information's." Amy answered.
He sighs "come on in. this way."
He took them to the red book, that book named Jarred.
Jarred took the book and put it in the table, Amy looked at him in excitement
But before he talk "s-shouldn’t we talk to the rest of the team, I mean they will know eventually.." Amy suggested.
Jarred sighs then he nod ,
Amy sent to the group chat to inform them.
Kylee: holy !! shhhh, you! Two!
…
Amy only seen Kylee's message and then she turn her full attention to Jarred who begins to tell the history of the lost Jarred.
One day after the kidnapping of little princess Rosamylia, Jalbatorex took the 10 month Jarred away from Vincent and Victoria, and he told them he killed him.
But the truth , he throw him away.
Someone named Layla with blond hair, took Jarred as she couldn’t resist his cries.
She took him and raised him with her husband Jack,
Back then Jack was a good fighter , he teach Jarred his material art style. So he can defend himself.
Then one day Layla and jack found out that Jarred is a vampire.
They got scared yet they wanted to get him some animals to let him suck their blood.
But the royal blood can only drink their victims blood…
Jarred stopped suddenly and closed the red book.
Amy looked at him in confusion, "what is it?"
" I killed Layla and Jack, I sucked their blood. And then I went to live alone. After that I lived with a man he owned a bar, and one day there was VIP , I got his order wrong, and he spit the drink on my face and kept shouting and shouted until he beats me then I couldn’t hold myself, and killed all the people in the bar.. expect for the bar owner. Milla's father.."
Amy looked at him in disbelief.. she tried to talk but nothing comes out her mouth.
"I.. am not finished.. there is a spell , that erased all the Jarreds in the Hightly family, if no broke this spell , all the future jarred will be erased from the Hightly history. So that’s why Vincent.. I mean father cant recognized me." He says.
Amy looked at Jarred as she still couldn’t believe it!
The one who has been replaced and been away from his family for too long..
"did you try and talked to him? Or your mother?"
"no. I can't get closer to them , they can't see me"
As Amy was thinking , then she quickly glanced his blue hair , he noticed and took the glass of water on the table and pour in on his head it revealed his red hair " I dyed my hair.. so jalbatorex won't find me"
Hightly family is known with the red hair.
"it is really you! I am happy but sad in the same time! But don’t worry Jarred , we just need a witch or a wizard to solve this problem! B-"
"a dark witch-wizard.."
(A dark witch or wizard is the rarest witches and wizards , only three known till now. But two of them are enemies to Theodore.)
Amy lost hope as she heard the words.
"please mr! do you know some one who's a dark witch or wizard?"
Amy asked
"I don’t really know, you might ask your king." He said.
"king Theodore?"
"he is a master of all the magical arts, so maybe!"
…
After that Amy went home but Jarred got a call from Milla , she wanted to meet him at the beach.
As the sunsets , they sat on the edge of the rocks, watching the sea and the sun.
The wind blows gently at their hair.
"you know. You shouldn’t talk all of it."
"she almost know everything.. I underestimated her. Milla."
"oh.. did she?"
"yeah, she knew so many things.."
"hmmm.. so I guess you will be in this hair forever?" she roughly strokes his hair.
"I guess.. is your father ok with this..? I mean I want to let the two of you live a good life. I want to live in the apartment."
"listen you damn Hightly! I didn’t tired myself doing all this fighting with my dad and then you simply tells me this! Na-uh! You ain't going no where! You understand or should I beat yo ass?" said as she cracked her both fists.
"no I understand, but I might.."
"you won't.. also talk to Minory, she could make you some of her cures, you are strong Jarred , don’t you forget that you will rule (Alister Vann) (Hightly's kingdom) once you kick torex's (jalbatorex) ass!
Jarred smiled and nod.
"what is with that smile! Smile wider lemme see your teeth !"
Jarred and Milla been friends since their childhood.
They met the day Milla's father took Jarred home with him he introduced them to each other.. and from that day they become like siblings always together, had each other's back.
The only person Jarred can trust is Milla.
