Jenna felt awkward walking into the kitchen. She found Kai sitting at the table, and almost walked straight back out again--her cheeks burning as she remembered the events of the previous night.When Kai glanced up and smiled, Jenna realised he did not share her feelings of shyness. He looked happy to see her."I saved you a pop tart," he said, sliding a plate across the table.Jenna couldn't help but smile. "I haven't had one of these things since I was a kid."Kai chuckled. "You think it's childish?""I think it's better than your cooking," Jenna joked, hoping he would see the funny side and not take offence. "Hey!" he cried and punched her in the arm. Thankfully, he was still smiling.His eyes lingered on her for a moment before he returned to his pastry, devouring it in two bites. With his sleeve, he wiped jam from his mouth, coughed and stood. "Eat it on the way," he ordered. Jenna looked up at the clock. "But it's not even half eight yet.""I know," Kai said. He linked his ar

Jenna froze. This girl was crazy. Instinctively she shuffled backwards, moving away from the girl until her back hit the wall.The basins above her head provided little cover and she had nothing to use as a shield. She lifted her leg, ready to kick at the crazed girl if she approached.She screamed as her attacker lunged, trying her best to kick her away.Somebody must have heard the commotion because the doors flew inwards with a slam. Seconds later, Charlene was on the ground.Jenna was shocked to see her rescuer was Jacob. She couldn't stop staring at him as he pinned Charlene to the ground.He wasn't a very big guy.'But he must be quite strong,' Jenna thought. "Are you okay?" he asked her. As his attention shifted, Charlene broke free from his grasp and shot out into the hallway.Jacob looked up as if he might follow."Just let her go," Jenna said, voice shaking. "I don't think she'll hurt anyone else. She has it in for me."He nodded, staring at her as if he was in shock.Th

Jenna, as usual, was not paying any attention to her lesson. Instead, she scrolled through funny videos, being careful to keep the sound at a minimum and not to laugh out loud.The ding of a message made her jump, dropping the phone.It skittered across the hard flooring, landing in the middle of the aisle. With an annoyed sigh, Mr Burton bent and retrieved it."No phones in my lessons," he stated. "That's the rule."Then he glanced down at the screen, read the message and made a face.'What?' Jenna thought, becoming panicked. 'What does it say?'The teacher's face gave nothing away as he slipped the phone into his desk.The rest of the lesson dragged on for what felt like days. She actually had to concentrate on the work, which wasn't easy. Once the bell went the students piled into the hallway. Jenna lingered at the teacher's desk, hoping he would take the hint and hand her the phone.Instead, he just gave her a creepy blank stare."Can I have my phone, please?" she asked, making

Jenna bounced the baby on her knee as Jacob fiddled with bottles. He took a handful from the fridge, reading the dates."I guess this one," he murmured. "This is so gross.""It's natural," Jenna said, raising an eyebrow. "You drank this you know—""Eww, yeah, no, don't," Jacob interrupted, waving his hands at her. "I don't know why she can't just give the powder stuff.""Well, it costs more," Jenna pointed out.'Am I being too argumentative?' she wondered. 'I don't want him to feel like I'm not on his side.'"We need to heat up some water," she said, changing the subject.Jacob flipped the switch on the kettle. It lit up with blue light as it heated the water."Why does it seem to take longer when the little bugger is crying?" he complained. "Hey, it's coming, Jeff," she said, bouncing the little one in her arms. "It's coming soon."It didn't stop his crying, but at least she was trying. When the bottle was warm enough, Jacob passed it to her. "Here. You can feed him."She found his

Gordon ducked under a fence lined with barbed wire. The sharp edges caught on his rain jacket, ripping the fine fabric.'Great... mum's gonna kill me,' he thought. Why she insisted on buying him expensive hiking clothes was a question he pondered a lot. Did she want him to get bullied? Could she not just buy the cool branded names?To be fair to the woman, his clothing wasn't the main reason he got picked on. It was his brain. 'Which I also inherited from her,' he realised. His mother worked for one of the leading pharmaceutical companies, designing new drugs.Yeah... so she might cure cancer... but would it kill her to be a little bit less of a dork?It occurred to Gordon that he was thinking about his mother while on the way to meet a hot girl--a hot girl he'd slept with.'Maybe I'm the problem here,' he thought, self deprecating as usual.He strode through long, uncut grass and brambles that tore his coat even further. "Damn it," he muttered.In the middle of the overgrowth was a

Kai sat in Connell's living room, thinking up a new way to torture her. It was getting boring, mainly because she had stopped reacting. Her eyes would glaze over, becoming dark and blank, and she would obey his every command without question.That wasn't what he wanted. He liked seeing the panic in her eyes and hearing her desperate pleas. 'But what can I do to break you?' he wondered.Nothing seemed to phase her. He had forced her to do the most humiliating things, but she had not batted an eyelid. He'd made her masturbate in front of him. He'd tipped over the bin and made her eat rubbish from the floor. One time he told her to go to school with no underwear and take a picture.She did it without so much as a word.'What will she refuse to do?' Kai wondered. He wasn't willing to go as far as forcing sex on her. That would be rape. Being a bully was one thing. Being a rapist was a whole different ball game.'But why?' Kai wondered. 'Why aren't I prepared to go that far?'He looked

"Well, that was a massive failure," Damien stated, staring down at Jacob. He seemed pretty pissed about it, but it was hardly Jacob's fault. "Maybe Kai really has grown a conscience?" Gordon piped up. He immediately regretted it when the others stared daggers at him."Well, I will beat up Jacob, but we need Kai to beat someone up," Damien said. "And he won't fight me. Not after that time I kidnapped him."Gordon blinked and did a double take. "Huh?"From the corner of his eye, he saw Jacob shaking his head and mouthing, "Don't ask."Remembering poor Ronnie's face, he heeded the warning and closed his mouth."So it is up to you, Gordon. All you have to do is roll your eyes at him and he beats the crap out of you," Damien said.Thinking back to the last time, to the humiliation, he didn't want to volunteer."Come on," Charlene pressured. "I swear I will make it worth your while."At this, Damien and Jacob both made scoffing noises. "Charlene and Gordon? Who would have thunk it?" Damie

Jenna couldn't stop thinking about Jacob.After failing to pluck up the courage to ask him out in person, she had gone down the coward's route and texted him."Want to hang out after school?" she had asked."Sorry - I can't," was his reply.After an hour or so he had texted again, promising they would do something soon.It had been an hour of moping and crying, but everything was okay now. Now she was over the moon and nothing could bring her down. On the way to school Kai did not speak to her. He was still angry at her, but for whatever reason, he was yet to take any sort of revenge.Or so she thought.Then she spotted Jacob sitting alone by the bins."Oh my God," she muttered, making her way over to him.As she approached, their eyes met, and he looked away."D--did Kai do this?" she asked. Jacob twisted his head, avoiding her eyes. "Oh, God I'm so sorry," she cried. "This is all my fault."Her hands shook as she stormed back over to Kai. She shoved him square in the chest but he

Kai paused as he passed Miss Connell's classroom, staring in at her until he'd caught her attention. He gave her the creepiest smile he could manage before turning away.He hadn't decided whether or not to take out his anger on her or just Tom. She hadn't actually done anything, but still—messing with her would hurt Tom.But Tom could wait for now. He saw Gordon up ahead and he wasn't going to let that little weasel escape. "Get him," he whispered to the others."Kai," Jenna asked, placing a hand on his arm. "Do you really have to do this?""They almost killed me, Jenna," Kai said through gritted teeth. "I know what they did was wrong. But what you did to them in the first place was wrong too. If two wrongs made a right, then..." Jenna waved her hands in the air. "I don't even have the math skills to figure out who is right, who is wrong, and who is just a total psychopath."She was looking over at Damien as she said that last part."Just don't go after him," she said, pointing her

Jenna sat on the corner of the bed, her hand inside Kai's weak grip. It felt foreign seeing him so vulnerable. So weak. He gave her a thin smile as he looked up at her. "You can go home, you know? You don't have to stay here the whole time.""I want to stay," Jenna insisted. She felt like he would disappear again if she let him out of her sight.'I can't believe Jacob is dead," Kai muttered. "I've never seen anyone die before. It—""It was—" Jenna agreed, though neither of them could find the word.There were no words for the sinking, dark feeling that was creeping up inside her brain. It was always there, lurking in the shadows of her mind, even if she wasn't actively thinking about it. 'It will go away,' she assured herself. 'It can't stay forever.'The doctor had mentioned counselling, and while Jenna had been happy to accept the help, Kai had refused. He said he didn't need to talk about anything that had happened, or that he would find a friend to talk to about it. He wouldn't

Kai found it too hard to sleep inside his hole. It was uncomfortable and freezing since he'd wet himself.'I should have asked him to let me go toilet,' Kai realised far too late. He probably would have refused the request, but still, it felt weird to pee himself without even asking for a trip to the loo.He'd tried screaming again and again until his throat was raw but to no avail. 'This place has to be in the middle of freaking nowhere,' he realised.Still, it was his only hope, so he had to keep screaming in the distant hope that a dog walker would happen to amble by.When footsteps finally sounded outside—he knew it was Jacob. He could hear the familiar sound of his keys jangling as he dropped them. Jacob swore under his breath as he finally entered the shed. Then Kai's world was flooded with light. It was so bright. 'Maybe I'm already dead,' he thought, feeling dizzy. It had been a while since he'd had anything to eat or drink, so his blood sugar was all over the place. It t

Kai chewed the warm sandwich, not caring about the fact it was tuna and he hated tuna. It was food. And he was hungry. After he swallowed, he stared up at Jacob. "Why are you bothering to feed me if you're just going to kill me?" he asked. Jacob shrugged. "Honestly... I have no idea."Kai knew. Deep down he knew. Jacob had revealed his secret to Kai. He would keep him alive so he had someone to talk to about it. Someone who would listen and not judge. This theory was confirmed when Jacob took a seat beside him and opened up. "I was just a child," he said. "I never even understood anything about death. The permanence of it. The... consequences.""But you do now," Kai pointed out. "Just let me go. I swear I won't tell a soul. Like I said... I'm not a snitch."Jacob ignored his request."I sometimes dream about it. I dream about killing all the time," Jacob went on."But you don't have to do it," Kai said. Jacob passed the sandwich to his mouth, letting him take a bite. Kai did so

After spending the morning at the police station, Jenna was no closer to finding Kai. They had listened to her statement and said they would take Jacob and Gordon in for questioning. But questioning them was all they could do without any actual evidence.Harry was pacing the waiting area when she got out of the interview room. He turned to face her so fast he spilt the paper cup of coffee in his hand over his jacket."What is all this?" he asked. "Who is this Jacob guy, and why do you think he has something to do with Kai going missing?"The barrage of questions—questions she had just spent hours answering—made her brain hurt."I honestly don't know. All I know is, Jacob pretended to shoot Angel, Kai chased after him and I haven't seen him since. Jacob is... weird. He's obsessed with Kai," Jenna said. She was trying her best to explain it, but it was hard to put into words. Jacob was an enigma."Do you know where this Jacob lives?" He asked. "The police said they were going there no

Jenna waited with Kenny, both of them huddled behind a wheelie bin on the corner of Jacob's street. "He's not usually late," Jenna whispered. "Hmm." Kenny nodded, his face taut with worry. It was strange to see him without a silly grin. He had to be really worried about Kai.'I'm worried too,' Jenna thought. She was deep in thought, imagining the worst when Kenny pounced out from the hiding place and landed on Jacob.Jacob's things spilt from his bag, splattering his lunch and notes over the pavement. He lay there underneath Kenny, looking shocked for just a second.Then he smiled."Hello, Kenny," he said in a creepy voice."If you don't tell me where Kai is, I'm going to break your arm," Kenny told him. He already had his arm cranked into a position that his arm did not usually want to bend.Jacob laughed. Even as Kenny pulled at him, he continued to laugh. "Go on," he taunted. "Break it. I'd break it myself to get a week off school if I had the body strength."As Kenny pushed h

It was dark. So dark. Charlene thought that her eyes had to adjust eventually. She waited and waited.The world remained pitch black.It was terrifying and disorienting, but it was not as bad as the cold. She was colder than she had been in her life. Here, on the hard, damp stone floor, she looked back to her days in the manky old shed with fondness. It had been like a holiday camp compared to this.After Damien had left, she had felt about her surroundings. Inside her box-shaped room, consisting of three stone walls and one metal bar wall, was nothing but a metal toilet. She couldn't see it, but through the sense of touch, she had a mental image of something like she'd seen in prison dramas.Was this place a prison cell?'How long have I been here?' she wondered. She had not needed to use the weird toilet, but then, she also had not had anything to eat or drink.There was nothing inside the room. Not even a bottle of water and stale bread. When she heard a lock click, a light fl

Kai woke in a dark, groggy state. It took him a moment to realise it was daytime and that his eyes were covered. Tiny slants of light became visible as his eyes focused. His headache intensified as he concentrated on them."What the heck?" he mumbled, recognising the familiar situation he'd found himself in.He'd been tied up here before, many years ago. That was before he'd started working out on a daily basis. Before he'd learned self-defence. Before he'd been a 6 foot 4 guy with an eight-pack and virtually zero body fat. 'And yet... here I am again,' he thought, pulling at the knots around his hands."Damien?" he asked, hearing the shuffle of a footstep. "I promised I'd leave you alone and I did, right?"He sighed, hearing only silence. "I never touched you. I never spoke to you. Hell... I never even looked at you," he argued. "So why?"He felt a blinding flash of pain as the blindfold ripped away from his face. Squinting in the sunlight, it took him a moment to make them out.

Jenna and Kai were walking the dog later than usual—specifically to avoid Jacob. But there he was."For fuck’s sake," Kai hissed under his breath. "It's like he knows when we are leaving the house.""Maybe he does," Jenna muttered in return. "It wouldn't surprise me if he planted a bug in your bedroom."Jenna was half joking. The guy was clearly a little bit disturbed and completely obsessed. People like that did crazy things.Kai was obviously thinking the same thing. His face screwed up as he muttered, "It's just too often to be a coincidence."Today, Jacob did not have his mother's pair of dogs in tow. He wasn't even pretending to be out there for a particular reason. That, coupled with the fact he was staring them down, made Jenna nervous. Even though Kai was a lot bigger, stronger and faster. Even though there were two of them and one of him. Something about the line of his lips and the steely cold in his eyes made Jenna nervous. Eyes that she once found irresistibly gorgeous
