Authors Note: My busy life got the best of me once again, plus I had major writers block when it came to this chapter. To be very honest, I'm not very happy with it. I think it's kind of sucky, but all filler chaptes are kind of sucky. Hopefully from here I'll be able to write with much more ease. Thank you for your patience and continuing to read my story. Remember to review, positive or negative - but be mindful and respectful of it please. Enjoy!

Chapter Eight – Date Nights and Frights

A soul is the supposed incorporeal essence of a person or living thing. The soul is often believed to exit the body and live on after a person's death – in any way or form.

Lelani stared up at Jayden with soft eyes as her older sister brushed through her hair. "You call me if you need anything, ok? I'll come no matter what."

Lelani nodded her head as Jayden looked at her through the mirror, slowly putting down her brush and turning to look over her younger sister. Jayden slowly moved over to the bed, sitting down next to her and patted her hand. "Hey, everything will be ok. We'll figure this out and everything will go back to normal, you'll even be able to have the dorm back and you can out that large obnoxious poster of that band you like up on the wall." Jayden said as she tried to comfort Lelani, whose baby blue eyes turned to a dark navy blue in the span of three days. "Tyler is coming over, so you can have someone to hang out with later."

Lelani gave her a small smile, wrapping her arms around her sister and gave her hug. "Thank you."

Jayden slightly smiled as she hugged Lelani back, the two soon pulling away from one another. "So… how do I look?"

"Like a cheap whore." Slap. "I was kidding!"

"What a way to break your three day silence," Jayden retorted and looked at herself in the mirror once more. Her skinny jeans met at her waist and her plain white spaghetti strap shirt hugged her top half. "I can't believe I'm going on a date with Reid."

"Yeah, how did that happen again?"

"I made a stupid deal."

"Worst deal you have ever made," Lelani replied as she pulled her legs under her and stared at Lelani. "Have you talked to Ethan and Ian?"

Jayden stood still, wincing in her head – the answer would be no, she had not spoken to Ethan or Ian. They seemed to have disappeared into thin air leaving Jayden and Lelani behind to fend for themselves. Even her own mother seems to not know where the duo went, leaving Jayden to wonder if something bad happened to them. But Lelani couldn't know; no, it was very important she didn't know what was going. She didn't need to know that a possible half dead Chase Collins is after her soul for possible immortality and power domination. No. Lelani needed to be kept safe and secret, especially with a change in attitude in Lelani herself.

"They're still just as clueless as us," Jayden replied as she grabbed her purse and slipped on her black flats on. "I'm ready to get this night over with."

Lelani smiled as Jayden walked towards the door, the younger girl following close behind. The two moved across the hall and down the stairs, where Reid waited by the end. Jayden cleared her throat making Reid looking over her way; a sly smile slowly crawled across his face. Jayden couldn't help but roll her eyes and Lelani slightly giggled. "You two have fun now," Lelani said as she stepped down the last few steps and made her way towards the living room where she could see Tyler sitting on the couch. She flopped herself down next to him and he looked over at her.

"Why hey there stranger," Tyler said with a smile. Lelani smiled back, poking his arm and looking behind her to see if her sister had set Reid on fire.

"Set rules for the night," Jayden said as she pointed her finger at Reid. "Dinner and a movie, nothing else. No touching, no name calling, and no kissing."

"You say that now," Reid said under his breath as Jayden walked down the last few steps and started to head towards the door.

"Remember what I said Lelani!"

"Yeah, I know." Lelani replied. "Have fun!"

Jayden scoffed as she opened the door, walking outside and Reid following close behind her. The door shut close and Lelani looked over at Tyler. "So… what are we going to do tonight?"

Tyler shrugged his shoulders and ran a hand through his messy brown hair, "I don't know. What do you have in mind?"

Lelani pondered on it, tapping her finger on her chin. "Can we get out of this house? I think I've barricaded myself long enough."

"I don't know," Tyler replied with a slight wince. "Caleb told me to not really let you go anywhere."

"Oh," Lelani said softly her eyes dropping slowly. "I didn't know I was supposed to stay in the house."

Tyler felt a wave of guilt wash over him; it really wasn't fair that Lelani had to be put under house arrest. "I tell you what, as long as we don't use in any way we could go get some ice cream and be right back."

Lelani smiled, "Cool! I've always wanted to take a ride in your hummer." Lelani hopped up grabbing Tyler by the arm and attempting to pull him up on his feet. "Come on, the faster we go the faster we can come back!"

Tyler chuckled, getting up on his feet and following the small girl to the doors. Lelani hopped into the passenger seat, looking over at everything with excitement in her eyes. Tyler started the car, looking over at Lelani - she was acting different. "You ok? You're so bubbly and giddy," Tyler pointed out.

"Yeah, I feel fine. I guess I'm a little excited about getting out of that house," Lelani replied as she pulled on her seatbelt. "I do sound a little bubbly, now that I listen to myself talk."

Tyler slightly smiled as he started the car and put it in reverse. To the ice-cream shop they would go.


Jayden looked up at the signs looking over the movies she was thinking about watching. "I want to see 300."

"Really?" Reid asked as he raised an eyebrow, looking at Jayden as if she was an alien. "You do know what 300 is about, right?"

"Yes, I know what it is about pinhead." Jayden snapped back. "We were having such a nice night, why do you always ruin it by undermining me?"

Reid rolled his eyes, a soft whatever mumbling out of his mouth. But Jayden was right; they were having a nice night. There was no fights or name calling, just dinner and conversation. Until now, when 300 became the subject of the manner. Reid simply walked up the podium where the movie associate was, ordering two tickets for 300 and paid them in cash. "You ready?"

Jayden nodded her head as they walked into the movie theatre together, Reid opening the door for her and letting her walk in first. Jayden's hatred for Reid slowly disappeared once again – he was being adorable and she was a sucker for anything adorable. Jayden kicked herself in the ass; there was no way in hell she was started to actually like Reid Garwin. He was rude, snarky, and had the most beautiful blonde hair she had ever seen.

Crap. I'm starting to like Reid Garwin.

"Do you want some popcorn?" Reid asked, pointing over at the concession stand. "It's on me."

"Sure," Jayden replied as they walked over together to get the popcorn and a large soda.

Jayden popped some popcorn in her mouth as Reid shoved a whole bunch in his own mouth, the two walking together towards the theatre where their movie was to be shown. "So, what's up with your sister? She's been acting pretty weird lately."

"She's scared is all," Jayden replied as some popcorn made its way to her mouth. "She'll be back to her snarky self soon; it's just how she is."

"That's not what I meant…" Reid said. Jayden looked over at him, stopping suddenly. "What?"

"Are you saying something is wrong with my sister?"

"No! That's not what I meant!" Reid started, trying his hardest not to screw this up. They were getting along so well, he wanted to keep it that way. "What I meant was… why is she so special?"

"She hasn't ascended yet-"

"Jayden, come on. I know you guys are hiding something."

Jayden sighed, starting to walk again towards the theatre and Reid walked right beside her. "I really wish I could tell you Reid, but the thing is… I can't. It isn't my place."

Reid scratched the back of his head, giving up on the subject of Lelani. "So why don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Because I don't, you going to open the door for me or what?" Jayden said as they stopped right in front of the theatre. Reid slightly smiled, opening the door for her and letting her walk in first – as always.


The Sex Pistols blasted from Tyler's car radio as raced down the street, the sugar in his body ran jolts of electricity throughout his skin. He laughed as Lelani stuck her head out the window, screaming at the top of her lungs. "I'm having the time of my life with Tyler Simms!"

The wind whipped through Lelani's hair, blowing it in wild directions. She pulled herself back in, looking over at Tyler with a huge smile and rolled the window back up. "What now?"

"I don't know," Tyler replied as he took a curve really hard. "What are you down for?"

"Something dangerous… let's go swimming!"

"Swimming isn't dangerous… well not for me," Tyler replied as Lelani smacked his arm. "You suck!"

"Shut up!" Lelani said with a laugh. "Let's go swimming at the academy."

"I don't know…"

"Oh come on, please! I promise this is the one and only thing I'll ask for. I'll behave for the rest of time until everything gets settled." Lelani begged, sticking out her bottom lip. "Please?"

Tyler thought about it, she was so cute. He couldn't help but do what she wanted to do, not just to please her but impress her too. Lelani was so bold, so vibrant and out there. Tyler was not. Tyler, is anything, was the exact opposite of Lelani. So what if they broke into the swimming pool at Spenser Academy? It would only be for a half hour and then they would be safely back in his car, on the way home with no troubles or worries at all.

"Ok, but you have to keep your promise."

"You've got it, now step on it mister!"

Tyler pressed down on the gas, feeling a new adrenaline run its course through his veins and Lelani screaming at the top of her lungs only added more to it. He looked over at her, her eyes wide and fearful. When Tyler looked back over at the road, there a black figure standing in the middle of the road not too far from them. Tyler slammed his brakes, the tires burning against the street but it wasn't enough – the car ran into the body, sending it flying into the windshield and up across the roof of the car. The body rolling and thudding against the metal, soon flying off and hitting the pavement.

Tyler swerved his car to a stop, the two sitting there in mere fear at the idea that they might have killed someone. Tyler gripped his steering wheel as he looked forward, gulping down the little bit of saliva in his mouth. "Are you ok?"

Tyler looked over at Lelani who hadn't said a word, she looked over at Tyler and nodded her head yes. "Ok, you stay here. I'm going to go check it out." Tyler stated as he opened his car door and jumped out of the hummer. He opened the back seat door, grabbing a flashlight from the floor. He heard another car door slam; he looked up to see Lelani missing from the passenger seat. "Lelani?"

"I'm fine, I didn't want you to do this alone." Lelani replied as she walked around the front of the car, meeting with Tyler on the other side. "We're both responsible for this, we do this together."

Tyler nodded as he turned on the flashlight and closed the door. Lelani linked her arm with his, walking slowly towards the body could be lying on the pavement. Lelani imagined it bloody and mangled, his or her arms in twisted forms that it would probably scar them both for life. But when the flashlight ran across the pavement there was nothing there. Tyler ran his flashlight around, moving forward quickly and leaving Lelani a little behind him.

"There's nobody here," Tyler stated.

"But… I saw- we saw someone. And I heard them; I heard them roll across the roof." Lelani exclaimed, looking around for anyone or anything. "Maybe it was an animal and they just ran off-"

"No dude, there was defiantly a person in the middle of the street." Tyler said, looking around with the flashlight. He looked further down the road, trying to see if there was a body a little further back. Maybe it flew farther back then they expected it to? "Do you remember what they looked like?"

Silence followed as Tyler continued to look, he waited a second of two for Lelani replied – but it never came. "Lelani?" Tyler asked as he turned around, pointing the flashlight in her direction. "Lelani!"

Tyler ran over to Lelani who was lying on the pavement flat on her back. Tyler kneeled next to her, picking her up her head slightly and touching her cheek. She was freezing cold and so pale he could see the veins run across her face. "Lelani," Tyler said as he smacked her cheek softly.

He brought his ear to her nose, hearing her let out soft breaths. She was still breathing meaning she was still alive, but barely. Tyler picked her up in his arms, carrying her to the car and placing her in the backseat. Tyler ran his hands through his hair and panic started to run throughout him. What happened? His back was only turned for a few seconds, he didn't hear anything – he didn't even hear her fall. She didn't mention anything about not feeling well; Tyler touched her hand, she grew colder over the few seconds Tyler took to take in what was going on. Tyler didn't know what to do; he didn't know how to react. He shut the car door close and jumped into the driver's seat, starting it and drove to Caleb's house.

"Hang in there Lelani, don't slip away."
