Chapter 7

~Zayden~

It was nice sitting by Calley, heck it was even relaxing. I knew I wasn't suppose to get close to her, just keep me being a ghost safe. I let out a soft sigh and watched her write in her notebook. In the Fantasy Culture for Ghosts it was wrong to marry a person who isn't a Ghost. How does that only imply to us, no clue, but what I do know is that whoever invented that crap rule was a idiotic dunderhead.

I heard a rustle of leaves behind us I slightly turned my head around and saw nothing. Just wind. I stole a glance at Calley; she didn't notice. I heard another to my right, this time louder and was about to get up when I felt fur on my arm.

Calley had shape shifted into her panther form and growled at the place were the noise was heard. This time a 15 year-old human boy stepped out of the shadows and held up a bow and arrow. Aimed directly at Calley.

Yes Calley, it is very safe here. I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

The boy wasn't shaking or looked scared at all, he seemed confident. I just stood there and watched the scene play out. The boy pulled back his arrow on the bow and launched it at Calleys' heart. She stood there in shock in her panther form and I quickly grabbed her tall and made her transparent.

Being a Ghost gives me the advantage to have things pass through me and whoever I want, as long as I'm touching them. The arrow passed right through her and lodged into the trunk of the tree.

This time the boy was scared and ran out before either of us could get to him.

I let go off her as she transformed into herself and scowled at her. "Yes it really is safe isn't it? You never thought this through did you?"

"Of course I did, I'm always careful." She shot back and gave me a deep glare with her red eyes.

"Yeah right. Why'd you mess up this time?" She stood there flustered and I continued. "Listen I know you have questions, that I wouldn't answer. But really? There are humans hunting us you know. Always have been. It's never safe with us on this hell trap."

I started to walk out and I heard her spoke. "Your not better then humans. You protect them and your a jerk just like them. I can't believe I ever brought you here."

I sighed and waved a hand over my shoulder before vanishing like I always did. Not caring that she is watching me.

I walked through the door and my senses met the sound of club music and the smell of beer. I know what your thinking why are you with humans and all that shit. Let me explain, I came here to met one of my longtime friends and he tends to give me info of what's happening with the FHA.

The FHA, Forever Humans Association, is an organization that always loathed people like me. Creatures, monsters, aliens are just few of the names that they call us. They ones that hits home though is horrible, ugly, disgusting. They are simple humans and it all changed about 3,000 years ago.

Humans use to be our friends, when we weren't in hiding, they would marry things like us, even bore children. Until a guy like Adolf Hitler with the Nazis decides to kill a Vampire and declare war upon us. Thus starting the separation of our races. Back then everyone believed and knew that we were real. Now we are merely just a figment of a child's imagination.

I stepped in front of a guy in the back corner and smiled when he started showing ladies classic magic tricks. He noticed me and his smirk deepened and whispered something to the girls and they vanished, all looking embarrassed and covering their chests. 

I walked closer to him and said. "You need to stop stealing their underwear."

Alec smiled and ran a hand through his short black hair. When it was longer people thought we we're twins, that's why it's cut short. "It's half the fun." We headed to a table in the back of the room; away from anyone and everyone. Alecs' voice dropped to a low husky whisper and said. 'Zayden, there started to recruit teens."

"What you mean?" I remembered back to the human boy about to kill Calley.

"Their finding out their is more Fantasy now then ever. They want to have undercover agents. The FHA is even mutating some of the kids to be one of us, yet not completely." He paused and gulped. He suddenly looked nervous and his voice lowered even more. "Zayden they are capturing any creature they first see. I heard from this guy when I was Russia that they even have a special weapon."

I leaned back and thought about it for a second. "So their taking our DNA and putting it into their agents. Wow. I thought were ahead."

Alec nodded and said. "The army is grouping up again we have about thousand. Not even close to what they got." He looked at me with sad eyes and stood up and looked down at me. "Zayden be careful what we predicted is coming 50 years early."

I nodded and he snapped his fingers and vanished. Being a Warlock and all.

~~

I looked up at the ceiling of my room and heard a soft snore in my ear. Reagan got a nightmare and decide to sleep with me. Expect I think I might get a nightmare if I close my eyes. The humans weren't suppose to get ahead in this, they were suppose to be behind 50 years. How do they have this technology to defeat us and tame us? It's not possible.

I let out a shaky breath and looked at Reagan I don't want her to be part of this, never ever. Alec was trying to put together a army with others, but it won't be enough. It will never be enough.

I sat in the far corner of the lunch room and watched everyone move around and gossip. I watched a certain girl out of the corner of my eye and smiled she was glaring at me. She was trying to hide it, she really wasn't succeeding. I laughed and waved my hand at her like I did the first time we met.

My smile faded when a boy walked over and kissed her check and sat down next to her. Who the hell is he? She smiled at him and leaned in to kiss him. I looked away when they did a full out make out. I heard a girl whisper a table away. "I knew they would get together!"

Damn it!
