Madnun: Angus is obsessed with Jade for a long time, back from when he first met her in the restaurant. He feels sort of irritated and fueled by his obstruction from Jade by Kyle. That drove him further when Jade refused him once again the other time.
Jiaz: *sigh* I feel so… *sinking feeling*… why did I create Jasper anyway??? *shakes head* See? Now he took all the glory from Kyle. And yes, your suggestion shuld be used in the next chapter, the part about Kyle and Jade's missing link in their relationship. Hiak hiakz….
Amber_rules: I try as best as I can to end off each chapter at the point where I can have the audience asking for more, but there are some chapters where I have to end it on a nicer note, those are the ones that I felt like I might not be able to sustain and keep the readers on the edge of their chairs.
Hellz: That was an absolutely detailed analysis of my writing! Thank you so much. You really made me realised some things about my writing that I didn't before. Thanks!!! My vocab's a little limited (sorry!!! (^.^) ) made worse when I had to write in secret (in pretense that I was studying…. (-_-")) Hehe.
Pandie Katteken: I'm so sorry, I'll love to drop by your story, but it was 27 chapters long! I'm a little busy currently with all the tests coming up, so I'll drop by later! Thanks for your review anyway! =D
I dread this chapter, for I know the Jasper fans will go crazier over him. But I have no choice, do I? Things just sometimes fall into place the way they did. *looks back* now what the hell was I saying??? *vampire's in a weird mood*
Jade was about to go to Kyle and Russell's apartment. Her mother had left for a date with Dermot and Jasper had, well, moved over to Halyssa's apartment, which was just three apartments away.
Opening the door, she found herself staring at a boy about twelve years of age. There was a kind of hunger in his eyes that Jade could not quite put her finger on, but she sure did not like it. Before she could react, the boy pushed the door open wider and stepped into the apartment boldly, forcing her to take a step back.
Just as the boy stepped into the apartment, an amazing transformation took place right before her eyes. The boy grew taller at a shocking rate, his lips widening into one that she recognized. The eyes liquefied and turned into blue color, while his brown hair grew long and became blond and curly.
Before long, Jade found herself filled with dread as she recognized the person standing right in front of her – Angus. He had cast a disguise spell, which explained how he could have gotten into Daybreak Center. Now, coming into the apartment, the wards cast by Skye must have unlocked the spell.
"An… Angus?" She uttered in disbelief, stumbling over her own feet into the couch. Angus had a sickening grin on his face, his blue eyes eager. In a second, he was on Jade, using his hands to grab hold of hers. Jade was flailing her arms wildly to fend off the beast. "Get off me!" she cried, her efforts to struggle getting weaker by the minute as her strength slowly used up.
"No, Jade, don't you understand?" Angus panted heavily, "We're meant to be together!" He pushed his lips down onto Jade's unwilling ones.
Jade gave a vicious bite on Angus 's lips. "Arrgghhh!!!" The witch recoiled in pain, his hands touching his bleeding lips gingerly. "Bitch!" he screamed and slapped Jade across her cheeks, hard. If that had been an attempt to deter Angus, it sure failed as the blond continued trying to get her to succumb to his demands.
Jade felt panic kicking into her heart, her hands groping wildly to keep Angus off her. His curly long hair was everywhere in her vision, his lips drawn back in a savage grin. She felt herself losing control of her body, and realised that Angus must be silently working on a spell to bind her movements.
Kyle! she called out for her soulmate helplessly. She knew that she was losing the fight, and soon she might be at the mercy of Angus. Angus – who had lost his mind in his futile pursuit for Jade.
But he got her now.
"Angus Shezer!" A low voice called out from the doorway. Angus paused in his actions, momentarily distracted by the unwelcome intruder.
Kyle's black eyes were wide; his protectiveness towards Jade could be felt immensely. Crossing the distance, he went over to Angus and grabbed him, pulling him off the couch. In an instant, the two were on the ground fighting fiercely. Kyle's canines grew long and his moves were fluid and swift as Angus wrestled with him. But he was not holding off the witch well; he felt himself growing weaker by the minute. He could feel Angus reaching into his mind and struggled to put up his mental shield but it was too late. Angus delivered a painful mental blow to him, setting off a huge headache and his focus were affected.
"Kyle Caldwin," Angus hissed menacingly, his lips drawn back in a maniac grin. "What makes you think you can get her? She doesn't need you. She needs me!" With that, he threw a bolt of lightning at Kyle's chest, Jade watched in horror as Kyle's body arched involuntarily in pain. He gritted his teeth, refusing to make a sound.
"Stop it! Angus! Stop it!" Jade screamed hysterically. Outside, the rain was raging in the night. "Stop what?" Angus asked, his grin never leaving his lips. "Can't you see that I'm doing all these for us, for you?"
"You're sick!"
Angus's grin faded. "I'm sick? No! I'm not. I love you Jade. You're only making yourself suffer by being foolish to be with Caldwin! Look at him now," he pulled Kyle off the ground by his collar, "all weak and useless! How can he protect you? He doesn't deserve you, Jade. I do."
Leave now, Jade. Kyle's thought-speak was weak, but Jade could hear his love for her in his voice.
"If I kill him now, you'll be free to come with me. No more days of hiding from Blood Iris! No more! I'll-"
An arrow whizzed past Jade and struck Angus through his back. Angus's eyes went wide with shock and pain, and then he gave a howl of resigned defeat. Kyle moved away from under Angus awkwardly just before the witch collapsed forward. His face was turned sideways, his haunting blue eyes never leaving Jade was he gagged on his own blood. Silence filled the room as Angus drew his last breath and tears rolled down his face. Blood coursed steadily out of his wound and onto the carpet, forming a dark stain on it.
Jasper stepped into the apartment, a crossbow in his arms. Walking over to Angus, he flipped the dead witch's body over with his shoes. "Dirty rat!" he scolded, shaking his head disapprovingly. Jade was still standing behind the couch, shaking in fear as Angus's blank eyes stared back at her reproachingly. Kyle sat up and stared at Angus, an undecipherable look in his dark eyes. Trying to lighten up the mood, Jasper smiled, "How are you guys? Looks like we have some cleaning up to do." He said cheerfully, looking from Angus's body to the dark stains on the carpet.
Kyle stood up slowly, his face paler than usual and he pressed a hand to where Angus had struck him. Jade hurried over to help him, but he shrugged her off. Jade flinched, feeling hurt and confused over Kyle's sudden hostility.
Each movement an excruciating one, Kyle limped slowly out of the apartment, his shoulders slumped in defeat.
* * * * * *
Hmm, what's up with Kyle now? Haha, we don't know. But we'll sure know it when the next episode comes along. A Kyle-Jade special. So do stay tuned!
And yes, Angus's dead. Celebrate! Rejoice! Scold me for doing a bad job, praise me for doing a good one! =D Whatever it is, write in and tell me how you feel!~ Thanks!
