"Are you sure Jaden came into this woods?" Roselyn asked Joey with a worried tone while searching around.
"That was what I was told by a boy... He said Jaden came here." Joey sounds confused also.
"We've been searching for almost an hour and it's getting too late! We need to get to the dorm to avoid being punished!" Roselyn said with a raised brow.
"Let just look around for a while, and we will leave if we can't find him." Joey pleaded with her.
"Alright!"
Both of them continue the searching and kept calling Jaden's name in a low voice. As they got fed up with searching for Jaden and turned to leave, Roselyn's eyes instantly caught a glimpse of an abandoned house from afar.
"Joey, look over there!" She pointed towards the house.
"Wow, so there's something beautiful like this in here? An abandoned house?" Joey's eyes lit up as he saw the house.
"Can Jaden be there?" Roselyn asked as she sounds unsure.
"Never! What is he g
Roselyn and Joey were fretting out and turned to check who touched them. To their greatest surprise, they saw Jaden and Rocky, laughing their hearts out while staring at them."Why are you guys scared?" Rocky that was still laughing, asked.The terror that overtook both Joey and Roselyn is still in their body. They were trembling while looking at Rocky and Jaden in awe. Their heartbeats continue to beat faster as if, it was about to pop out."Hey guys, we never knew it was you both at first... So sorry if that caught you both unaware!"Jaden could feel what they are passing through at that moment as he apologized to them. He saw the look on Roselyn's face, and it wasn't welcoming at all."You know that almost killed us?" Joey sounds angry."We are sorry guys!" Rocky stopped laughing and pleaded with them. "Let sit, so it can calm your nerves," Rocky suggested."Rocky is right, come sit down!" Jaden backed him up.Roselyn and Jo
If the earth had a pulse, it rose through the mountains, creating their bold silhouette. To Jaden's eye, their peaks are the green line of a doctor's graph.He saw those rocks at dawn, those slopes that give a home to so much life, a foundation for trees and shrubs, grass and ferns.With blue above and below, in the sky and lake, ever lightening as the sun rose, Jaden thought it would be a good day for him until an old man touched his shoulder, and he was frightened.A wizened face peered out from under a wedge of a blue hat, which was the only thing on his otherwise bald and mottled scalp save a sparse fringe of white. The old man's eyes were so heavily lidded and weighed down with wrinkled folds that it was almost like talking to someone asleep, yet he was quite awake."Look over there, that's you, killing people and sucking their blood out!" The old man said to Jaden as he points towards a battleground, down the mountain.Jaden looks confused as
"Jaden! Get up, it's almost daybreak!" Joey gently tapped Jaden, that was beside him."Huh?" Jaden slowly opened his eyes."Let go back to the dorm," Joey said.Jaden got up and sat upright on the bed. He yawned and stretched his body. "What time is it now?" Jaden asked while rubbing his eyes."5:30 am!""It's still early Joey, let wait a little bit!" Jaden told him with a frown."We can't wait any longer Jaden... You know we don't want to be caught by the authorities. So, let go!"Jaden opened his eyes fully and looked around but Rocky and Roselyn weren't in the room anymore."Where's Roselyn?" Jaden asked."She's outside with Rocky, waiting for us," Joey replied."Are you guys sure about going back this early?"Jaden got up from the bed and took his jacket that was on the table. He wore it as he walks out of the room, followed by Joey.When he got outside, he saw only Roselyn, standing at the entra
Jaden and Rocky slowly open their eyes simultaneously. They were surprised to find themselves on their various beds.Jaden was the first person to get up and come down from the bed. He saw James and Paul, standing beside the door.Jaden looked around and saw Rocky, who just got down from his bed also."Hi James, how did we get here please?" Jaden moved closer to them and asks.James was surprised with his question and only looked at him from head to toe without replying to his question. Then he continues to talk to Paul."Don't tell me you are offended by the question I just asked. There's no harm in asking what you don't understand!" Jaden sounds a bit angry."Are you this dumb to understand that, James doesn't want to talk to you?" Paul glared at him, angrily."I only asked a simple question!" Jaden replied."Then his silence means he doesn't want you around!" Paul yelled at him.When Rocky saw that, it's getting messi
"Harrison?" Rocky said with astonishment."Yes, Harrison!" Jaden replied."That's a total waste of time Jaden... Harrison would never involve himself in anything that has to do with Joey!" Rocky was so serious about it."Not until I talk to him! I've saved him once from James, so he should be able to give me audience no matter what!" Jaden said with confidence."Now I know that you don't know how things roll in this Academy. A friend of yours today might become a foe tomorrow in this Academy premises. Harrison is not quite different from James and everyone knows it. Think of another way, not Harrison please!""Rocky, I have made up my mind and that's final! If you want to support me, good, but if you don't want to, you can leave now." Jaden said and walked out of his presence to go search for Harrison.'This boy is so stubborn!' Rocky thought about it inwardly and follows Jaden. "Hey, wait for me!" He yelled from behind.Jaden and Roc
Jaden and Rocky went back to their room after meeting with Harrison.As they got into the room, Jaden was busy, thinking about what he could do to save Joey. But nothing was coming to his head. He so much wishes to have his power at that moment.Rocky was lying on his bed, without knowing what to do either. He saw how Jaden was worried and wishes to help him, but he can't reveal himself yet to Jaden."What do you think we can do to help Joey?" Jaden suddenly turned to Rocky and asks."I have no idea in any way!""Do we go out of the Academy to search for him?""We can't Jaden... Where exactly do you think we need to go, in search of Joey? Moreover, the securities won't allow us to go out of the Academy!""Common Rocky, why are you being difficult... No one has to know about it. We will sneak out for sure!""Sneak out? No, I can't do that! The city isn't that safe as you think!" Rocky sounds scared."Are we just going to
Ding! Ding!! Ding!!!"Will you put off that alarm right now!"Paul that was still sleeping yelled out from his bed when he heard the sound of the alarm, ringing continuously.Jaden quickly took the alarm clock that was beside his bed, and switch it off. "It's 6 am already!" Jaden got down from the bed and stretches his body."Joey, wake up!" Jaden tapped him gently on his back."Huh? I don't want to!""Common it's 6 am, and you know we have class by 7:30 am.""Go ahead and prepare, I will join you soon!" Joey said and goes back to sleep."Okay!"When Jaden turned to check on Rocky, he was surprised to see only Paul at their bed space. "Where's Rocky?"Jaden went into their bathroom and called out his name, but no one answered him. He kept wondering where Rocky could be at that early."What are you doing in our bathroom?" Paul, who stood at Jaden's back glared at him as he asks.Jaden was caught off g
"Harrison!" Joey's jaw dropped as he called out his half-brother's name."You son of a bi*ch! How dare you go against my orders!" James charged towards him angrily and seized him up.Jaden hurriedly rushed towards them and stopped James. "let him go, James, he doesn't worth it!""Take your hands off me!" James threw Harrison to the floor and brushed Jaden's hands away. "You know this is your fault right?" James pointed his right-hand finger at Jaden's face."How is it my fault?""If you haven't stopped me from teaching this bastard a lesson then, he wouldn't have the guts to go against me now!" James sounds so furious as he glared at Jaden.Jaden was still wondering how the incident of that day, connects with what's happening right now when Joey suddenly turned to him."James is right! You shouldn't have intervened that day... Harrison doesn't worth it in any way!" Joey said with all seriousness."Even you?" Jaden seems surpris
