All Jayden had to do was get in, kill the witch named Iliana, and leave. She had killed other Night people before, it shouldn't be too hard. Hunter wouldn't kill or hurt her if she did everything he asked. That was how it always worked out for her.

When she was 10, her vampire parents were hunted down and killed ruthlessly by a vampire hunter. Her parents never did anything wrong. They didn't want to be a part of the Night World. Jay did though. She wanted to murder the human that had killed her parents. They deserved it.

As she climbed through the open window, Jayden smiled. It had been too easy getting into the famous Circle Daybreak mansion. As she tiptoed towards the room where the witch supposedly slept in, she became nervous. Maybe the Daybreakers had expected her. Maybe they were waiting to capture her, torture her into telling them about Hunter, then kill her.

"And just what do you think you're doing, Jayden Rose?" Jayden spun around, only to meet a very attractive boy. "Look, if you're going to kill someone, shouldn't you at least have a good reason?" the boy asked. He looked human, kind of like a Viking. Not someone to mean any harm. "How do you know all of this? Got a spy?" Jayden hissed at him. He smiled at her, like they were old friends. "Well, I am a witch. I know things. And Theirry told us to watch out for you." Jayden cocked her head, wondering how Theirry even knew about her.

Hunter was going to be very mad. Or you could just stay here. Your parents were friends with Theirry. They would welcome you with open arms, unlike how Hunter treats you. Jay was confused. She had a choice to make, which could help her, or get her killed. She closed her eyes, and thought about it. When she opened her eyes, the boy was staring at her.

She couldn't help it as she leaned in and kissed him. Electricity flowed through her veins, giving her a sort of magical feeling. When they broke apart, she looked at him. "We're soulmates, aren't we?" "Yeah. My name's Phillip North. Or Phil. And I already know you're Jayden." "Yep. I like Jay better though. It's easier to say, and short."

"Well Jay, you want to stay here?"

"Sure."
