"How could you be such a damn fool!" Jennifer shouted at Jason who was sprawled out on the couch.
"What is it you want, Jennifer?" Jason asked as he opened his eyes.
"The same things I've wanted, I want you to be happy. You deserved to be happy and find balanced, and peace. When you destroy yourself you can protect no one."
"I want to protect no one," Jason explained in an uninterested voice.
"Do you hear yourself?" Jennifer asked, "You have been given a second chance, she chose you."
Jason kept staring in disbelief before he finally spoke. "I didn't ask for a second chance."
"Your stupidity will be the end of you one day," Jennifer muttered. Then a moment later she was gone as if she had been whisked away by the wind.
After Jennifer's little ranting, Jason decided to see if Kira was staying out of harm's way. But being a half-witch and half-djinn she's most likely in need of saving. With that thought, Jason's lip curled into a smile.
Jason arrived in the parking lot just when Kira was seen with a man as she walked towards a black Honda Civic.
What is he doing here? Jason clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Jason wanted to rip his head from his body, but he refrained from doing so. Instead, he watched with curiosity and when they drove off, he trailed behind.
Throughout the ride, Jason entertained himself with different scenarios, how he could end the human miserable life. He was having a blast until the Honda came to a stop at Pop's Diner.
Jason watched as the two ventures inside and shortly after, they were seated at a window table. He didn't know how long he had been seated, listening to their conversation. But it felt as time as stopped when the two leaned forward and their lips began to move in sync.
He felt as if a thousand daggers were repeatedly forced into his chest. He couldn't breathe or could he moved, it was as if he was back inside the coffin.
After Kira and Jaquan had broken their kiss. Jason ignited his car engine and drove off without sparing Kira another glance.

What's going on? Jason thought as he arrived at Jackson's manor. Just as he neared the sitting-room he heard Jackson's voice.
"Lady's and gentlemen, we attacked tonight."
Upon entering the room all eyes fell on him, with curiosity swirling within them. But what would they be curious about?
"Jason," Jackson called, "It's looked like you could use a drink, come let me introduce you." He patted the space next to him.
Jason made his way over and when he had seated a goblet of wine was served to him.
"To new beginning, my friend," Jackson spoke in a sinister voice as he raised his goblet.
"To new beginning," Jason recited.
"Right, now where were we?" Jackson mumbled, "Yes, I was about to introduce you."
"This here," He gestured towards the female with dark brown- golden eyes, "Is Lora, she is a demon."
"And this is Jax," He gestured towards the black-haired man. "He's also a demon."
"Meet the beautiful Kia," He planted a kiss on the white-haired female with blue eyes. Her eyes were the color of the ocean that there wasn't a speck of white. "Kia here is a witch, a very powerful one."
"Selene is not here to join us, but you'll love her," Jackson said.
"What's going on?" Jason asked, after he had acknowledged the Demons and the Witch
"Tonight we captured the She-devil," Jackson sang.
Leaving Jason to wonder who was this She-devil he talked of?

Kira felt awful after the shared kissed between Jaquan and her. There was nothing special about it. And now she regretted that she had even agreed to go to lunch with him.
On their way back to campus she would avoid eye contact, too embarrassed with her thoughts.
"We should go out sometimes," Jaquan suggested.
"I don't know," Kira mumbled.
"Why not?" He questioned.
"I'm not ready to start dating," Kira blurted.
"Oh," Jaquan said, his voice a pitch lower.
"We can still be friends," Kira tried lightening the mood.
"Sure," Jaquan chuckled as he pulled into the on-campus parking lot.
"Thank you for lunch," Kira smiled politely at him.
"The pleasure is mine," Jaquan smiled at her as Kira made her way out of the car.
The day went by in a blur and the next thing Kira and Rebecca were on their way to the café.
Kira was taking a customer order when someone tapped her shoulder, "Hey, I need to talk to you."
"I'm a little busy, could it wait?" She asked.
Jennifer wanted to shout at her and tell her no it couldn't wait, there are people out to kill her. But instead, she nodded at her and went to an empty booth.
Jennifer watched Kira as she made her way around the café as she tried calling Jason. But it went to his voicemail like all the other times. She knew he was deliberately avoiding her calls, but she desperately needed to talk to him.
Besides, I might never be able to.
Those were Jennifer's last thoughts before she stood to her feet and made her way out of the café.
It was late in the evening when Kira and Rebecca bid their goodbyes to Mrs. Myers and left the café.
"You're in danger," Jennifer came up to Kira from the shadows.
"Jennifer, you scared me," Kira mumbled.
"Isn't she the doctor who treated you?" Rebecca asked, her eyes never leaving Jennifer's face.
"Yes," Kira answered. "What are you doing out here?" She directed her questioned at Jennifer who looked panicked.
"There's no time to explained, but You're in danger." She answered, scanning the empty streets.
"What's going on?" Kira asked. "Danger from whom?"
"You should run," Jennifer shoved Kira lightly.
"Why?" Kira asked when she saw a man and two females staking towards them
"Now!" Jennifer shouted as her teeth morphed into fangs and she pulled a sword from her cloak.
"Kira, come on let's go," Rebecca tugged at her arm as they both ran as fast as they can.

"Aww, look at that, a Hale to the rescue," Kia taunted.
"Aww, look at that," Jennifer pouted.
One minute she was standing across the road and the next she was standing over Kia's headless body.
"You've just lost your head," Jennifer spoke as she stared at Kia's lifeless body.
"Kill her!" Lora screamed.
Jax attacked Jennifer immediately sending a blow to her face. Making her stumbled backwards. Jennifer immediately recover just in time as Jax charged at her with him Akujiki sword.
Jennifer and Jax trade blows at a furious speed. Before Jennifer uses her claws to ripped his throat opened. As he collapsed to the ground Jennifer stood over him as her chest heave, watching his lifeless body.
When Lora reached for up Jax's akujiki sword and plunged it through Jennifer's back that it came through her stomach. Blood was oozing from Jennifer's mouth and she fell to her knees.
"You shouldn't let your guard down," Lora whispered against Jennifer's ears. As she yanked her by her hair and forcefully pulled the cursed blade from Jennifer's stomachs.
Then she brought it to her neck, as she spoke. "I will take good care of your brother." Before she slashed her throat opened.
