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

    LOST girl - new story - out soon!!!!!! Jenna felt her heart thudding in her chest as she stood by the door, her ear pressed up against the glossy wood. "Urrrrrrrrrgh!" she heard her stepbrother groan. It was long, drawn out and exasperated. He followed it up with a tut before continuing. "It's bad enough that she's here to start with. Now you're saying I have to be nice to her?" Those words felt like a stab to the chest. What had she done to upset him exactly? Besides merely existing... "I'm not... I'm just asking you to please look out for her," Harry urged. His tone was pleading but whiny as if he were losing patience with his son. "Cab you manage that? I'm not asking you to be her new best friend. Just... don't make this any harder for her. First days at a new school aren't easy, and she doesn't have anyone besides you. We have to look out for her until her Mum gets back from France." Kai let out a non-committal grunt before falling silent. Jenna didn't hear his footsteps app

    For the first few seconds after waking, Jenna had no memory of recent events. Her mind was gloriously blank and free of worry. Then harsh reality came back with a crash and a thud. It was almost physically painful—the realisation that her entire life had crumbled away.After showering and getting dressed, she joined Harry and Kai at the breakfast table. Harry had been kind enough to prepare her some breakfast, she noticed and smiled weakly as she picked at the burnt toast and rubbery eggs.Kai gave her a sideways glance. He dropped his fork onto his empty plate with a loud clatter and shook his head in disgust. "Surely you aren't going to wear that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.Jenna looked down at her skinny jeans and baggy jumper. No... it wasn't exactly what you'd see on the runway at fashion week, but the jeans showed off her slender legs, and the baby pink jumper looked cute... or so she had thought. What exactly did he think was wrong with her clothes?"Erm... yeah. Why?" Sh

    The old-fashioned building made Jenna feel like a lost interloper in a cold and harsh land. Her heels clicked on the stone flooring as she followed her stepbrother, clinging to him like a liferaft. 'So much for not needing his charity,' she thought, feeling like the world's biggest fake. Her earlier resolve that she could survive on her own had vanished as quickly as her breath in the cold air. "The heating is being replaced," Kenny explained, seeing her shiver and hug herself. "You'd think the brainiacs running this place would do it in the summer but nooo.""This place is a joke," Kai chimed in. "They're lucky I haven't burnt this shithole to the ground.""You should," Jenna muttered. "At least it would be warm."As the group chuckled at her comment, she felt the tiniest bit of validation. Was it possible she might fit in with these guys?Looking up and down the corridor, she figured it was her only option. The other students that passed did not seem to like her stepbrother's gro

    Jenna didn't know what to say. Everyone was staring at her in horror, including Jacob.Mr Burton tutted loudly. "My next class is waiting to come in. Let's move it on out of here."He raised an eyebrow at Jenna as she passed but said nothing about her violent outburst. The look seemed to say, 'You know you just fucked up, right? But I'm not gonna save you.'Nothing was going to save her now.'Maybe I could just run home and hide under my bed,' she thought. But without Kai to show her the way, she'd probably just get lost and murdered.A stampede of students trapped her against the wall. After they passed, Jenna went to move but got instantly pushed back. Kai knocked the air from her lungs as he slammed her into the concrete wall."What. The. FUCK?"Jenna, too winded to talk, just stared helplessly."Who the hell do you think you are?" he asked."I... I just... I'm sorry... I didn't--" Jenna stammered, knowing there was nothing she could say to placate him.A hand appeared on Kai's sh

    Kai was already pissed off when he walked into his English class. That little bitch.He saw her cowering in the corner, flashing him fearful glances. The terror in her eyes pleased him. She should be scared. He was going to make her sorely regret her actions.But not now.She'd managed to find the only person in this school who he wasn't prepared to mess with. Not after last time.Kai wasn't prepared to go into a fight he might not win. It was a waste of energy.He swanned in past the teacher and as usual, failed to hand in any homework."Homework, Kai?" she asked.Kai stopped and pursed his lips. He turned slowly. "You said I could have a break from homework on account of my nan dying, remember?"Mrs Connell sighed heavily and gave him a look that wasn't unfriendly, just... annoying.She was the only teacher he got on with, mainly because she was desperate to be mates with the students--even the bad ones. He figured she had been a friendless nerd in school and wanted to validate

    Jenna didn't dare listen to music, turn on the tv or even look at her phone. She was worried any noise might mask the sound of his return, and she wanted to be ready to hide. Not that there were many places to hide in her room. After shutting the door behind her she had noticed there wasn't a lock. Propping a chair against the door would work... but she had no chair in the room. This room had been the home gym until being converted. It wasn't big enough to fit much more than a bed and a wardrobe, but Harry had made an effort to decorate it beautifully, with posh lighting and a few paintings that looked expensive.He told her she could change it any way she liked, making it reflect her personal style, but she was happy to keep it as it was--stylish and smart. That wasn't so bad, right?When the lock on the front door finally clicked Jenna almost had a heart attack. She sat back on her bed, hugging one of the large fluffy pillows and holding her breath. He stomped about the kitchen f

    Kai felt a surge of adrenaline as he made a B-line for his target. Poor Jacob. He was going to destroy that pretty-boy face of his.He was almost there, almost had his throat around that poor bastards neck, when he noticed Mr Burton was the teacher on duty today. There was always one teacher guarding the gates, and it was usually doddery old Miss Fisher on a Friday. It was just Kai's luck that the old coot was sick today.Mr Burton gave Kai one of his famous looks."Not today, Kiddo," he warned, cocking his head slightly to one side. No one else would dare refer to Kai as Kiddo. But Mr Burton wasn’t normal. Kai wouldn't mess with Burton any more than he would mess with Damien. Something about the look in that man's eyes just sent off alarm bells in his brain. Kai was willing to bet he'd killed before, either in the army or elsewhere.It could wait. He had all day. And if anything, dragging it out would only make it worse for Jenna. He'd have to listen to her annoying pleas, sure, but

    Jenna wasn't sure how to tell Jade and the others.In art class, they surrounded her, faces smiling and friendly, and her heart sank in her chest. She wanted to cry."What's wrong?" Jade asked.When Jenna said nothing, letting her sad face do the talking, Jade nodded sadly and looked away. "Yeah, I thought this would happen," she said. "You know... you don't have to listen to Kai," Damien said."If I don't, he's going to take it out on Jacob," Jenna revealed. She was surprised when Damien shrugged."So let him," he said."I can't let a guy get beaten up because of me," she said. That was the truth. It wasn't because she couldn't get his face out of her mind or even because she was constantly having fantasies about being his girlfriend.'Nothing like that at all,' she lied to herself."You might regret that when you get to know what he's like," Damien warned. "But it's your life, Jenna."With that, they left her alone. Sighing heavily, Jenna looked around the room. Charlene was ther

    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
