chapter 20++

“Were you using me as bait or something? Damn it, that thing could’ve really gotten me.” I shouted, but barely loud enough to qualify it as a shouting. My lungs hurt, ramping into my ribs, trying to get in more oxygen.
“Lucas said to keep you alive, he didn’t mention anything about state of your condition,” Jaden continued to kid with me.
If he ever gave me a chance to get back at him, I’ll make sure it’ll be tenfold. He checked the corpse of what was the werewolf that attacked him. He was a middle age guy, can’t be older than my dad, bold, and scarred.
The moonlight just beam half of his face, I couldn’t get a better description than that. Jaden checked the wound, making sure he won’t regenerate from that kind of stabbing.
I kept breathing hard, sweating, and trying to see clearly. He seem pretty dead to me.
“Who is it?” I asked curiously.
“Ian. He didn’t drink the tonic in time. Sigh.” Jaden was still on his knee.
I backed out of the scene. Trying to avoid and hole or pieces of wood resulted from the fight just now. The moonlight didn’t help much, it was really hard to see anything.
I leaned back on a wall, trying to rest my legs. My head knocked the wall gently, took a deep breath, and shut my eyes. All I need right now is just a few minutes of piece before I got to go running around again like a living bait. God knows what the hell Jaden’s gonna make me do next.
It was peaceful for a moment, nothing but the calm and quiet room. I didn’t know what Jaden was doing, but whatever it was, he sure is keeping it quiet.

Something grab me by the shoulder, took me off guard.

“Shit Lucas, you scared the hell out of me. I thought it was Jaden,” Lucas startled me. I heard Jaden giggled from across the room. He probably knew Lucas was here before I did. The moonlight beamed over Lucas face, it shine perfectly on him. His eyes gleamed (add)

“What happened here?” he asked, still trying to see the full picture of the room. He then disappeared into the darkness of the room. I wanted to follow him, but my legs were too lazy to even stand up.
“Is that Ian? What happened to him?” Lucas voiced from wherever he was. “The same thing that’s going to happened to me if I don’t get the tonic.” Jaden murmured.

“Luke? What the hell happen here? Where’s Ian?” someone shouted. It was a girl. And assuming from how loud the voice was, she was not far from where I was.
“Hannah?” I heard Jaden murmured again.
“Yeah. She wanted to follow.” Lucas murmured back before shouting, “Come here and you’ll see it for yourself.”
“I’m here already.” The female voices replied a tenth of a second after Lucas. “What’s that smell? Jaden, you didn’t kill again, did you?” she continued.
Kill again? Jaden kills? I hope she meant by him killing werewolf and not humans before. I never dreamt of the idea of both of them killing humans.
“Oh my god. You killed Ian? What were you thinking?”
“Ian didn’t drink the tonic. Jaden didn’t have much of a choice.” Lucas explained.
“Shit, what are we gonna tell the others?”

Lucas cradled me on his back before leaving the building. Jaden burst the window where the moon wasn’t reflecting its light, living a huge gap on the wall. He then, along with the other girl jumped off the building without a moment of hesitation.
Lucas then turned to me, “Close your eyes if you’re afraid of heights.” He turned back towards the open gap and made a jump.
I remembered how many floors I took coming on that building, 7. He landed on his feet, without falling over his knees and acted like it was a walk in the park. He landed after a 7 storey jump without breaking his leg or even saying a simple ‘Ouch’.
By the time we landed, Jaden had already left. There was someone alredy in Lucas’ car, checking herself in the rear mirror. She had (give any characteristics and appealing features.)
