Hi Guys! So I thought I would post the second chapter of this straight away as well, so that way the actual story can begin next week. So let's crack on!

Kendall POV:
As I walked out of the main building and into the quad, I firstly noticed the distant lack of sound, then followed by the abundance of eyes focused on me. Everyone was staring at me, before then whispering to their group of friends, obviously questioning my time with Miss Wainwright. I decided not to let it bother me, holding my head high as I made my way towards my group of friends, who were also staring at me, shock on all their faces.

I sat myself down next to James, who immediately pulled me into the biggest and tightest hug in the world, one that I was reluctant to reciprocate at first, but after I remembered what Miss Wainwright said, I decided it was best to hug him back.

"Oh my god babe, are you ok? Everyone's being saying that you were called to Miss Wainwright's office in the middle of biology, and no one saw you after you left" James panicked, and I chuckled into his chest.

"Yeah, I'm fine. She helped me to talk everything out, and guys I'm so sorry that I shouted at your earlier. It was wrong of me to punish you just cause you have powers and I don't." I replied, pulling back from James, and placing a small kiss onto his lips.

"Are you sure you're ok? I've never seen you like this before" Lucy joked causing everyone to chuckle including myself.

"Seriously guys, I'm ok. And Miss Wainwright is really nice. She gonna help me get my phone back from Mr Adams, and she promised to look into him for me after I told her that he blames me for everything. She's really looking out for me" I replied, now cuddling into James, as I had a massive smile on my face. Everyone was looking around at each other slightly confused by what I had said, but I decided to ignore it, and speak up once again. "Anyway, I didn't ask you. How was training this morning babe?" I said, looking up at James, causing a small smile to grow on his face.

"Yeah, it was really good. They taught a couple new spells, like how to teleport and how to summon water from the end of our wands! It was really cool!" James enthused, only making me happier.

"And what about you guys. How were your lessons and that?" I asked, trying to maintain a positive attitude. I'm not gonna lie, it still killed me on the inside that I was never going to be anything like them, but I was hoping that if I could try to make a positive change, then it would stick. Plus, I'm hoping my sessions with Miss Wainwright will help.

Everyone joined in with conversation from that point on, telling me about how their day has been. God, even Carlos and Logan started to chat about their maths lesson, and how they were solving the quadratic formula, or something along those lines. To be honest, it was nice, and it slightly made me wish I had done this sooner.

James POV:
Kendall seemed to be really enjoying himself at lunch, but I could help but feel slightly sceptical of it. For most of the school year now, he's been moping about or putting on a false front in order to keep his emotions out, and then all of a sudden, he's become a happy, loving Kendall. Something about this doesn't sit right with me. I quickly shake the feeling aside when I heard the bell go, signalling our five-minute allowance to get from class to class. Kendall was quick to grab me by the arm and literally yank me from the seat. I was barely able to grab my pack before I was being dragged through a set of double doors leading to our form room.

I looked down to see Kendall, who had a massive smile on his face, and I couldn't help up smile back. 'Maybe this isn't too bad' I thought to myself, as we walked into the classroom, instantly faced by an angry looking Mr Adams, surprisingly holding Kendall's phone in his hand.

"Mr Knight. This belongs to you" he said, handing the phone back to Kendall. "And you are excused from the two weeks detention" he continued, causing a small smile to grow on Kendall's face.

"Thank you, Mr Adams," Kendall replied, as he continued to drag me to our seats. Logan and Camille followed shortly after us, and PM form consisted of Kendall continually asking Camille and Logan questions, or just generally having a chat to them, which was completely unusual for him, especially when those questions were about their powers.

"Um, I've told you all this before" Logan replied to Kendall's question, but this didn't to deter him.

"Come on, I'm really interested" Kendall replied, causing me to roll my eyes, and Logan to huff in slight annoyance.

"I can change my form into anything I want, so long as it's organics, so no metal or machinery. Umm, recently I've been testing myself on bigger or more complicated forms, like lions or even snakes. Due to their abundance of bones that can be quite difficult" Logan replied, Kendall genuinely showing in an interest in what he had to say.

"And what about you Camille. You're a banshee, right?" Kendall asked causing Camille to nod.

"Yeah, so I can channel my voice to provide me with unique abilities. The common one among all banshee's is the premonition of death, but it's difficult to see who and when until closer to the event." Camille replied, once again, Kendall showing a genuine interest in what she had to say. Mr Adams silenced the form for a little while, reading off some usual information that everyone knew.

"Don't forget that assembly is tomorrow morning" or "remember that the hockey team have practise tonight" which was both applicable to Kendall and me, and before long, the bell went signalling our Paranormal Protection lesson was close to beginning, the one class our whole friendship group shared. The four of us got up from the table, and made our way to the lesson and I could help but notice that Kendall was still getting some strange looks from the other students. I decided it was best to wrap my arm over his shoulders, and pull him closely into my side, letting him know that he still had me if he needed me.

We got to the class, and made our way to the biggest table at the back as usual. With the 8 of us being in the same class we needed all the space, plus we were the biggest friendship group so it also made sense. All the couples sat together, me next to Kendall, Logan next to Carlos, and Jo next to Camille, causing Lucy and Dak to fill the remaining two seats wherever they may appear. Before long, the rest of the class trundled in, everyone still whispering about Kendall, but only 5 of them decided to say something straight to his face. Of course, those 5 would be the three Jennifer's, Jett and WayneWayne.

'I still can't get over how stupid WayneWayne is as a name' I thought to myself as Jett was first to speak.

"Hey Genny! Heard you got called to the Mindwalker office. What was that about? Don't they want some stupid Terran walking around the school?" Jett mocked causing the rest of them to laugh. The whole table of us fidgeted awkwardly, knowing that this situation was not going to end well for anyone, and by anyone we mostly meant Kendall. However, Kendall seemed rather unfazed by his remark, and even decided not to retort, a small smirk growing on his face.

"Oi prick, Jett is talking to you!" WayneWayne said, grabbing Kendall by the shoulder and spinning him around to face them, digging his nails into Kendall's skin as he did so. I could see Kendall buckling under the pain, lowering his shoulder slightly, while his face contorted but before it could continue for much longer, Miss Woodbridge interrupted.

"Mr Dooley" she scolded, causing WayneWayne to break his grip on Kendall, leaving clear nail marks which started to bleed almost as instantly as the nails left.

"Stupid Hellhound" I heard Kendall mumble as Miss Woodbridge continued to scold the five people stood over us.

"Return to your seats this instant" the fairy snapped, causing them to scuttle away from here. I placed my hand onto his shoulder, causing him to flinch at the pain, and move his shoulder away.

"Here, let me help" I replied in a soothing manner, and I could see the reluctance in his eyes. "Please, just trust me" I pleaded, as the blood continued to pour out and stain his shirt. I saw the look in his eyes was one of pain, and scepticism, but he slowly moved his shoulder, pulling his shirt over it, revealing his bare flesh to me, flinching once again at the pain as I placed my hand over it. "Sana" I recited, as I felt the magic flow through my body towards my fingertips. I heard Kendall hiss in pain, but he stayed strong throughout it, knowing what I was doing.

Within about 10 seconds, I removed my hand from his shoulder to reveal the wounds healing themselves up, at quite an accelerated rate. He flashed me a small smile as he moved his shirt back over his shoulder, one that was still stained in blood, but there wasn't much I could do about that. The pair of us heard someone clear their throat, and looked up to see Miss Woodbridge stood at the front of the class, trying to hide a small smile.

"Ok, so today class we are going to learn about the different ways to protect yourself from Paranormal activities as well as some supernatural beings. Now, this is a very touchy topic at the moment, as many people in the Organisation don't think we should be teaching the other species weaknesses. I've been given the go ahead my Principle Bitters, but I've been told to stress that this class is only for self-defence, and not to be used unless absolutely necessary. Also, if you are found in possession of any of these substances within the school grounds, you will be immediately expelled. Is that clear" Miss Woodbridge recited, causing us all to nod.

"Good, now we will be discussing a couple uses for each substance as a class, then you'll go through your text books, and I expect you to make full notes on each one of them ok. So, the first substance we will be discussing is Salt." She said, causing a few students to look around rather panicked. "Ok, does anyone know the uses for salt?" she asked, causing a few people to raise their hands. One of them being Logan. "Yes, Mr Mitchell" she said, causing Logan to smile giddily.

"It can be used to remove a ghost from a possessed person" he said, causing her to smile back at him.

"Correct. Do you know why that is?" she asked, and this must have stumped the whole class, as everyone stayed quiet and looked around. "Really, no one?" she asked, causing everyone to shake their heads. "Ok, so Salt acts as a natural cleaner due to its purity" she replied, causing everyone to nod and start to make notes in their notepads. "Another use for salt?" She asked, this time causing Jett to raise his hand. "Yes Mr Stetson" she replied, causing a sly smile to grow on his face.

"It can be used to distract Fairies." He replied, causing the rest of his table to chuckle, while our teacher tried to maintain a façade.

"It can. Fairies have an irresistible urge to count every grain of salt, as we like to keep track of everything." She said, rather quickly, obviously not wanting to linger on the topic. "Ok, so that's enough on Salt for the moment. Let's move onto wolfsbane" she said, causing Carlos and any other werewolf to tense up slightly. "Ok, so what are the effects of wolfsbane?" She asked, causing Carlos to raise his hand, quite cynically as he obviously was aware of its effects. "Yes, Mr Garcia" she asked, causing Carlos to swallow a rather large lump in his throat.

"It's poisonous towards werewolves and werecoyotes" he answered causing Miss Woodbridge to nod.

"Correct, but also remember that it is poisonous to humans as well. If you were to touch or ingest the plant, it would be a matter of hours for a human to die. For 'were' species, the affect would occur in matter of minutes" she clarified, and once again, everyone started to make notes. "Anything else?" she asked, causing another student to raise her hand.

"It can cause uncontrollable shifts" she replied, and the teacher nodded once again.

"Indeed. Right, the final two substances I'm going to do with you are Silver and Iron" she said, causing the whole class to flinch at this one. "Now, I think it's safe to say that quite a lot of the supernatural creatures have a weakness to these two metals, whether it be small or large. Now, it is believed that Iron effects supernatural beings because it is the 'life force' of the earth, and will therefore remove the life force from said beings. Silver is believed to link with the genetics of the supernatural beings. It is able to stop many of the healing abilities that us supernatural's have, causing the wounds to survive for a great amount of time. It is difficult for me to explain properly, so if you follow page 56-59 in the textbook, it explains it for you. Also, a quick reminder that some supernatural creatures, such as mages or amazons don't exhibit a specific weakness to any of these elements, but they can be killed just as easily as a human could be." She finished, turning towards her desk and taking a seat at it.

Everyone took this as a cue to get some work done for the remainder of the period. The rest of the lesson continued with either people gasping after they found out certain properties about the different aspects or people passing out because they were so frightened. However, the lesson only really had implications for Carlos, Logan and Dak on our table, as Kendall, Jo, Camille, Lucy and I could really be killed by anything.

Really, the fifty minutes couldn't have ended soon enough, and the day ended with a free, which was nice, and also the perfect time to ask Kendall about his session with Miss Wainwright. He still hadn't indulged a lot of information about the meeting, and I really wanted to know if he was truly ok.

With that being said, I excused the pair of us from the rest of the group, and led him to one of the most secluded corners. "Privatis Locus" I chanted with my want, causing almost a barrier to go up around Kendall and I.

"Really, a private room? We weren't away enough as it is?" he asked, causing me to smirk at him.

"This way, no one can see or hear us." I responded, causing him to instantly roll his eyes.

"Oh god, James I already told you, I don't want to have sex at school. I don't care if no one can see us, another mage can pop this at any time" he responded, causing me to both gasp and chuckle at his statement.

"No, that's not why I did this. I wanted to talk to you about Miss Wainwright. After seeing her, you seemed different" I responded, causing him to give me a daggered look.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he snipped back at me, causing me to instantly go on the defensive.

"No, no, it's not bad. It's just you seem happier, and surer of yourself. I just wanted to know if you were ok" I replied, as I wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him into a hug.

"Yeah, I'm fine. She just helped me but a few things into perspective" he began, as he looked up into my eyes. I nodded, silently allowing him to continue. "She told me that even though I was human, I could still achieve great things, cause we all have the same brain power. I told her how I was jealous of you and everyone else cause you had your powers, and I didn't have anything, and she said that I can't stop you from being yourself due to my own insecurities. I mean, I'm not going to get my insignia, so instead of dwelling on it, I might as well move on and try to make the best of it" he finished, and I couldn't help but smile at him more as I pulled him into a hug.

"Babe, that's so great!" was all I could think to say, suddenly overwhelmed by the amount of information he laid into me, both the positives and negatives of such whirling round my head. We spent have spent the whole free chatting in our own little world, Kendall asking me lots of questions about the magic I possessed, as well as me showing him a few of the new spells I picked up this morning. It wasn't until we heard the final bell go that I dropped the room around us, placing back into normal reality, no evidence of any activities we had conducted.

We made our way to where the gang told us they would be, as Carlos, Logan, Dak, Kendall and I all had hockey practise, while Camille, Lucy and Jo always liked to watch. Plus, we all usually studied together on Wednesday nights as we were together anyway.

While the girls made their way up into the stand, us five boys made our way into the changing rooms readying ourselves for practise. I couldn't help but notice that Kendall was staring at everyone's back when they turned around, or more specifically their insignia's.

As you could expect, Carlos' mark was a wolf who was howling up towards a full moon and Dak's was also fairly simple, which was a halo above a pair of wings inscribed onto his back. Everyone knew that those wings weren't for aesthetic purposes only, and that angels could easily sprout wings and fly, only making them cooler. My insignia was an intricate design of the Propnomicon magic circle showing the eight different schools of magic: Abjuration, Illusion, Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation, Transmutation, Divination and Necromancy. Logan's insignia was a triangle and circle intertwined with a small dashed line in the middle. I think he once called it the Therian Delta, but it was simple and effective.

Anyway, I noticed Kendall's eyes flicking between everyone and when we made eye contact, and I raised an eyebrow, he quickly averted his eyes and blushed, a common sign he was embarrassed. I decided not to push it any further, instead getting changed and heading out onto the ice. It seemed that we were the first to arrive, so coach allowed us to skate around for a bit, and have a small friendly game before everyone else arrived.

Our game was quickly ended however when Jett rushed onto the ice and tackled Kendall to the floor with an unnecessary amount of force. I quickly rushed over to him, making sure that he was ok which he assured me he was, until he stood up and winced in pain slight. As coach called us into a huddle, I wrapped my arm around Kendall's waist while he just said "That's hockey I guess," obviously trying to hide the small amount of pain he has in.

"With the game approaching next week, I need everyone performing their best! But, with that being said, Knight your benched" he said, causing everyone to turn to Kendall as he tried to hide the disappointment in his face. "It's nothing personal Knight, your just not as strong or as fast as everyone else" he commented before blowing the whistle to signal the beginning of training.

To be perfectly honest, coach's decision was completely illogical. I didn't possess super strength or super speed, yet I was still able to play on the team because I was a mage. I was starting to think maybe Kendall was right.

It got to a point where I saw Kendall head back into the changing rooms, and a few minutes later he joined the girls in the stands, only causing my sadness and anger to grow further. Luckily, I was playing a sport where I could release it all, and I managed to up my game and even store a few goals which Kendall cheered for me when I did.

An hour and half later and training was over for the night, meaning we could finally study with our friends. After all, we had an upcoming test for history which none of us needed to fail, especially with Mr Adams as our teacher. I took a quick shower as did the rest of the guys, and the four of us met with Kendall and the girls slightly after, before making our way out of the school.

"You were awesome today babe" Kendall said to me, as he snuggled into my chest while we walked. "I mean, you scored what, five goals! That's brilliant!" he continued, and the rest of the guys agreed with him.

"Thanks. It's because I had my baby cheering for me" I joked back, causing the girls to "aww" and the guys to pretend retch behind us. Our walk, as usual, took us past one of the Organisation's offices within the city's bounds.

"I wonder what goes on in there" I heard Dak say, asking the same question as he does every time we walk past. "I mean, they must be dealing with a lot, especially with the S.S.M attacks that are going on" he continued, causing Carlos to quirk an eyebrow.

"SSM?" he asked, and Dak went to clarify

"You know, the Supernatural Superiority Moveme…" but before he could finish his sentence the group of us were exposed to a blinding flash of light as well as a loud bang to accompany it. Everyone went to cover their ears and shield theirs eyes, but it wasn't until the light stopped that everyone saw the result of the 'blast.' The Organisation Building started to crumble, parts of the building exploding in every direction, some parts of debris flying towards us, which I luckily dodged.

"Obex!" I was able to quickly chant causing a dome to surround the eight of us, shielding us from future barrage. But that was also the exact moment that everyone saw Kendall fall to the floor, holding part of his thigh. "Kendall, babe" I managed to say, as I felt him collapse into my arms, me being the only thing supporting him at the moment. I carefully lowered the pair of us onto the floor, using my bent knees as a rest of his head, as he finally revealed his injury.

It seems the femoral artery in his leg was cut, and all eight of us instantly knew what this meant for a human. I heard Jo on the phone behind us, instantly telling the paramedics where we are, as I placed my hands over Kendall's wound, constantly repeating the word "Sana" over and over again, only to have no effect.

"James, James, you're hurting me" Kendall said, as a few small tears dropped from my eyes.

"Kendall, I'm not going to lose you!" I replied, placing my arm around the back of his neck as I rested by forehead onto his. "I can't lose you" I sobbed, causing him to place a small kiss on my cheek.

"I love you James. Always remember that" he said, as I saw a few tears stream down his face. "Please. Promise me that you'll never forget that!" he said again, and I nodded, tears still running down my face.

"I promise. I won't forget. I l…." was all I was able to say before I felt his body go limp in my arms, and his eyelids closed for the very last time. "Kendall? Kendall?!" I insisted, shaking his now lifeless corpse in my arms. "Kendall, wake up, please wake up!" I continued, as I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder.

"James, I'm so sorry" I heard Carlos say, but I wasn't willing to accept it.

"No! He's not dead! He's not. I didn't even get a chance to tell him that I'll always love him!" I replied, placing his forehead against mine once again, and that's when things started to go weird.

I saw his whole body start to glow and felt it heat up instantly, to a temperature so hot I flinched and pulled myself away from him, letting his body hit the pavement before it caught fire and disintegrated into ash. All movement and noises within the dome stopped, as everyone turned to see what had transpired, and that's when I saw it.

The large pile of ash started to move.

Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnn! So, I ended this chapter with a cliff hanger cause I'm a bastard, I know! But like I said, this is where the story actually begins, hence why these first two chapters were longer. So Kendall had finally started his path to self acceptance only to die. But is he really dead? You'll have to wait until next Thursday.

Thank you to the Guest that reviewed the last chapter, and I'm glad to see you liked it. As for Kendall being ok, we'll see ;)

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I will catch you on Monday for Water Under the Bridge. Until then,

TTFN :D
