Lorelei stared back as she saw him bent over. She ran towards him. "Are you okay, Jaylen? What happened?" She inquired.

He has no obligation towards her, however for no just reason at all he is answering her call which was unlikely of him or probably he needed to hear from someone very familiar.When Jayden found a secluded place he picked the call.‘Jayden!’ Juno wailed into the receiver. Her voice sounded coarse like she had been crying. ‘Where are you? How have you been? I have been trying to reach you all day and it is driving me nuts!’Jayden exhaled. ‘Easy Juno. I am fine. I am sure you must have heard what happened.’‘I just got back from the base to check on you again and I heard of Jaylen's return and the fight that ensued. How did that happen again?’‘See, I know you like Jaylen really very much but can you do me a favor and not ask me such silly question.’There was a slight pause and a sniff f

Jayden bellowed at her. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Even if I do I still choose not to believe it because this same people have been my solace since none of you care about me!

The wobbling in his legs was beginning to look more obvious."Are you ready?" Liam nodded at them.Jayden thinned his lips in a painful way. "I am as long as you are. Thanks for doing this on my behalf, Liam.""Anything for a friend." Liam grinned.Juno glanced around, gulping hard as her eyes landed on Jayden who seem to be in a deep conversation with Liam. He was looking extremely weak and it bothered her.

Jaylen questioned."You have never been actually initiated yet and the day of your unveiling didn't exactly go as planned. Your tantrums was enough to piss one off." Rex blurted as he shot him an intentional glare.Jaylen snickered at him. “You know what, forget I said anything.

He could see from the window side that had light on a group of people that included Jayden and Juno. There was no doubt Juno had given out the secret map to them.
