Simon felt terrible. Samira didn'tk pick up his calls, didn't respond to his texts or e-mails.
She hadn't gone to school for a week.
Derek and the rest of them weren't talking to him.
Her brothers also didn't make it easy.
They were making sure that he wasn't contacting Samira.
But today, he was going to see Samira one way or another.
What he did hear about her was that she was hanging out with Jason, the guy they saw at the carnival.
The guy seemed creepy and it sent Simon on high alert.
He was also jealous.
Miranda didn't talk to him after the kiss.
Miranda had it planned out. She wanted to sabotage their relationship and it had worked.
She kissed him when she heard Samira come.
Simon placed his hands on her shoulders to push her away but it was too late.
They had already seen him. SHE had already seen him.
They didn't believe him. So he was a player but he had never cheated on girls.
Simon was changing from his basketball clothes afterschool today when he heard someone clear their throat.
He turned and saw Jason standing there menacingly.
"What are you doing here?" Simon said.
"Listen," He says, leaning close to him. "Leave Mira alone!"
"Excuse me!" He was getting angry now. Jason wasn't anything of his to tell him what to do.
"You heard me." He said, menacingly. "Stay away from her!"
His eyes were no longer green, but yellow.
"What the hell?" Simon said, fear making it's way in him.
"Do not cross me, sorcerer. Samira was and always will be mine!"
That done it. No matter what had happened with them, no one was going to steal her from him.
He started to punch him until Jason grabbed his hands and squeezed.
Pain screamed from his ankles. Jason used his other hand and grabbed his neck, raising him from the ground and slamming him against the lockers.
Simon was choking.
"I know all about your little friends. Werewolves, witch, necromancer, pyrokinetic. Am I warm?"
Something wasn't right. How in the world did he know about them?
"And a certain little hydrokinetic who can control blood. She'll make a fine queen again. She escaped me once but this time she'll belong to me and the dark side, permanently." His voice had gone deep and evil.
"Son of a bitch!" Simon choked out., trying to grab him off of him.
"Lay one hand on her and I'll..."
"You'll what? Kill me? Listen sorcerer, your precious little Mira has been hanging with me and the darkness in her heart is coming out. I've been filling her mind with evil and thanks to the spell I put on Miranda, it worked."
"What?" Simon throat was burning.
"I planned the whole thing. I saw Miranda and placed a spell on her to kiss you at the exact moment Mira came in."
Shock coursed through him. It would explain the suddenly dazed look she got when she flung herself at him.
"I needed Samira to be weak and heartbroken so the darkness can work it's way in."
"I won't let you." Jason tossed Simon across the aisle of lockers until his back slammed against the wall.
It knocked the air out of him.
"Tonight I will commence the final phase and take her to my lair where she will be completely and utterly evil."
Simon's heart was pounding out of fear for his lover.
He had to save her.
"You can tell your friends that I, Loren, has come back for what is mine but they won't believe you. Now," his voice had returned to normal and his eyes were green. "Mira is waiting for me and I should get to her."
He started to walk away but Simon got up and yelled in anger, chasing him.
Jason smiled and shot out his hand toward him.
Invincible air knocked him back.
Jason laughed and walked away.
Simon felt blood trickle down his shoulder and winced at the pain in the back of his head.
He had to save Mira. But how? No one was talking to him.
He looked up and saw a red light blinking.
He smiled at the light. If they won't listen to him, then they'll listen to the security camera.
