Secret of the Swan 4
Jenelle returned in human form to The Shiba House at dawn. Jayden was only one up and working out when she arrived, and he confronted her.
"So…your half swan?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you tell anybody," she hissed.
"I'm not," he held up his hands, "but who did this to you?"
"Some guy called Master Xandred," she replied, "I hate it."
Jayden wasn't a big fan of her, but Master X couldn't bully anybody like that. Seeing her cry…that was painful.
"I'll take care of it," he started out the Shiba House door, "tell the others I had a mission alone."
"What? I can't let you get hurt!" Jenelle grabbed his arm.
"I'll be fine," he told her, pulling back his arm, "don't worry."
"I'm not worried!" she protested.
"Good," he started to leave, but she pinned him against the wall.
"He'll destroy you," she puffed, "you know we're just human."
Their eyes met for a second. She was so close, and her breath smelled like honey dew…
"I battle him all the time," Jayden pulled away, "bye!"
Jenelle watched outside the window as he morphed. Amazed, she decided to go get breakfast. She wouldn't tell off Jayden. If he could save her from this curse…then she'd be okay.
