Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

Kylie woke up feeling sore all over her body, her worst nightmare was unfolding before her eyes, Zayn was a demon, a demon she was raised and trained to kill. She wondered why she couldn't feel that he was a demon, so many questions were going through her head.

She went to the living room where her parents had dropped a note, telling her they'd gone to work already. Well, she knew better than anyone that the work was to track Zayn and his kind and finish them off. She dragged herself to the bathroom and showered, still feeling bored she decided to go out for a stroll.

**Alyssa successfully ran from her village to another city. She came out to book a boat ride to finally escape from dark eyes. She wore white cargo pants and a blue shirt. She covered her face with a mask and her hair with a face cap. She was occasionally turning to see who was behind her as she felt someone was trailing her. She bumped into someone and she was extremely shocked, the person was dressed the same way as she was.

"Huh?"

"What the heck?" The two girls said together as they took their face caps off.

"How come we're dressed alike?" Alyssa muttered as Kylie chuckled.

"What an awesome coincidence," she said. She looked at the girl in front of her and she looked so familiar, especially with the dragon necklace she had.

"I know this girl" Kylie squinted her eyes as she tried hard to remember where she had seen Alyssa before.

"Hi, I'm Kylie" she added. Alyssa was unsure if she was to reply to Kylie.

"Hey, don't be like that," Kylie said.

"Alyssa," she replied coldly.

"That's a nice name, Alyssa. Where are you heading to?" Kylie asked.

"Well, I'm trying to visit my parents who live far away from here," she replied.

"When would you be leaving?" Kylie asked

"Tomorrow morning, " she replied.

"Can I come over to wish you goodbye before you leave?" Kylie asked. Alyssa was stunned, she didn't know why a stranger would want to see her off but her heart felt warm, she had never received love from anyone before.

"Fine, you can come, I'd be staying at the inn opposite the dock" Alyssa replied. Kylie held her hands and smiled at her as they both strolled together.

**East High

Zayn rushed to school, he needed to talk to Kylie about the other night's incident. As he was running to class, he ran into Vera.

"Hey, Zayn, where's Kylie?" She asked.

"Uhm, isn't she in school?" Zayn said.

"If she was here, I wouldn't ask you," Vera said. "Where the hell is my friend Zayn? I left her with you yesterday?" She shouted.

"I took her home, okay?" Zayn said as he ran out of school.

"What was that?" Vera wondered before heading back to class. Zayn ran to Kylie's house to check if she was home but she wasn't there called her phone but she wasn't answering. As he turned around to leave, he saw Kylie who was staring at him.

"Kyle!!" He said with relief

"Don't come any closer," she said, breathing heavily.

"Kyle! Kyle!! It's me, it's Zayn" he said as he came close to her, just as he was about to touch her, she pushed him back then a picture fell off his pocket. It was Alyssa's picture.

"Alyssa?" Kylie asked shocked as she bent down to pick the picture.

"You know her?" They asked each other together

"She's my friend, why do you have her picture?" Kylie said.

"She's my brother's missing friend," he said.

"I didn't know you had a brother," she replied.

"Well, we don't know much about each other but there's still time to know about that right?" He said.

"Uhm, yes ....I mean no" she stuttered. "Don't come here again, else I'll be forced to fight you " she warned. She couldn't bring herself to hurt Zayn, she didn't know why.

"I need your help though?" He said.

"With?"

"Alyssa, your friend, " he said. "I need to know where she stays to inform my brother "

She weighed her options and realized that was the last opportunity she had to spend time with Zayn.

"Alright, fine, let's go," she said as she led the way.

Alyssa sat at the edge of a bench. She had no memories of her family and all she remembered was seeing fire engulf a place. She closed her eyes to remind her of her life, she was going to leave the city she had been staying in for years, and she'd be free from dark eyes and the scorpion. After spending a while alone she decided to go back into the inn and then everything blacked out.

**

"Here we are," Kylie said as they arrived at the inn

"Where exactly does she live?" Zayn asked.

"Inside here" she sharply replied and walked towards the direction Alyssa showed her.

The innkeeper came out of one of the rooms and approached them.

"How may I help you?" She said,

"We are looking for Alyssa, where is her room please?" Kylie said

"Alyssa?" The innkeeper looked confused.

" Here!" Zayn said, handing the picture of Alyssa to the innkeeper.

"Ohh, Lissa!" She said. "She went outside to get some air" the innkeeper replied.

"Alright, thank you," Kylie said as they walked out.

"She should be around here somewhere," Kylie said as they got to the dock.

They started looking for Alyssa everywhere but strangely couldn't find her.

"Where could she be?" Kylie muttered to herself as everyone claimed to have seen Alyssa a while back but now she was missing. Kylie turned around and saw Zayn seriously asking people about Alyssa.

"He looked so worried about her. Why is their relationship with each other?" Kylie said sadly to herself.

"You shouldn't get bothered about that Kyle, he is a demon," she said as she decided to go home, just as she turned around she stepped on something that made a cracking sound. It was a necklace with a dragon pendant. She picked it up and realized it was familiar like she had seen it before.

"This? This is for…." Kylie thought before she suddenly remembered that the necklace was on Alyssa's neck when she saw her earlier. She became scared when she saw blood on the pendant. She quickly ran back to Zayn to inform him.

"Zayn! Zayn!! Alyssa has been kidnapped" she said.
