Hey! I'm back with another chapter. The amount of reviews I got for the last two chapter blew away. Thank you SO much. I'm really grateful! As a result, I've decided to post another chapter. To the readers of "One Bite Changes All", Chapter 13 will be up by Saturday, if not, latest is Monday. Hang tight...

I own: Courtney Matthews, Dylan Brooks, Margaret "Maggie" Reese, Samantha "Sammie" Reese, Noah Bristow, Bryan Cruz and Stacy Barrett.

RECAP:

DANA: Sorry, but I win. I hate losing and failure. Sweet dreams. Or should I say, nightmares. Darkness will always prevail!

Bitch come outside
Don't act like you don't see me
I know you heard me pullin' up uh
Come outside, uh, come outside, uh
We down to ride
It's about to be a... Girlfight!

Dana launched herself into the air, right above her clone and raised the sword above her head. As she came closer, she swiped the clone with the sword and "Evil" Dana was cut in half. Dana landed on her feet and watched as the clone split and evaporated. She was breathing heavily. The clone evaporated and entered Dana's body. Dana felt weak and droped to her knees. She didn't pass out, however. She glowed black once more. The leather clothes reverted back to the normal clothes she had on earlier. Dana stood up.

DANA (thought): Ok better look for Logan. Wait! Why do I care? It's Logan... But then again he could be in trouble. He's an idiot, though. He'll do something stupid. Yeah, that's it. Look for Logan and prevent him from do something stupid...That's a valid reason, right?

Dana, after much hesitation went off in search for Logan.

The battle was over, not the war. Glenn had more evil surprises in store...

Chapter 8: Family Ties (Part I)

Zoey was weak from the battle. Where could Chase be? He wasn't going to die on her now. She couldn't handle that. Zoey continued to walk around, and she felt she was going in cirlces. She sighed sadly and kept walking. A million thoughts were running through her head? What if Chase was already dead? What if Glenn kidnapped Chase already? Zoey shook her head. Chase was stronger than that, but she couldn't shake the sinking feeling in her pit on her stomach. She gasped and stopped walking when she saw a bush.

ZOEY (thought): What's a bush doing inside? Wait, that's not a bush. It can only be one person...Oh my God! It's Chase.

Zoey ran when she saw Chase.

Chase was still passed out but he was dreaming. He hated it. Every part of it. From beginning to end. Chase just wanted to snap out of it, but he couldn't.

Chase was running. Running faster than he had ever run in his entire life. He braked to a stop when he heard voice behind him. The voice sounded dark and evil. He was scared to turn around, because of what he might find or see. He took a deep breath and turned around.

VOICE: Looking for this?

Chase whipped around to see Glenn Davis carrying a very limp Zoey over a cliff. He grinned with evil in his eyes as he prepared to drop her. Chase's heart stopped beating, and then he got mad. This wasn't a dream, more like a nightmare.

CHASE: Even in my dreams, you managed to stalk us. What are you going to with Zoey?

GLENN: You're really that dense. You think you're so perfect, like you can never be broken. I can't phyiscally break you, but emotional pain is much worse. I'm going to break your heart by killing the lovely Zoey here.

CHASE: Not if I kill you first.

GLENN: I did love her. I still do, but if I can't have her, neither can you. I'm going to kill every person who has sentimental value to you. Starting with your girlfriend. Then I don't know...does the name Courtney Matthews ring a bell?

Chase's eyes widened in horror. That was the last straw. First his girlfriend, and now Glenn was going after his sister? That was low. Was Chase going to stoop to his level? Hell, yeah! Chase was more furious than he had ever been his entire life. He glowed again, his cleched fists shaking in anger. He was about to go after Glenn when he stopped him.

GLENN (laughing): You don't get it, do you?Oh, well, I tried to be nice. Say goodbye to Zoey.

CHASE: You love her, but you'll kill Zoey because I have her?

GLENN: Yeah, pretty much...I'll show you I'm not bluffing.

Glenn let go off Zoey until he held her by one arm. Chase was shocked. He'd really do it. Rid him of the perfect girl, and make Dustin suffer.

GLENN: It'll be fun watching you break while I murder your girlfriend right in front of you. I'll drop her now. Sleep tight, Zoey...

Chase screamed in agony as Zoey fell, plunging to a bloody death below...

CHASE: NOO! ZOEY!

Chase bolted awake, and was breathing heavily. His heart was racing, until he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Zoey right beside him. Zoey smiled through her tears as she enveloped him in a hug. Chase did the same, trying to blink back tears. Chase hugged Zoey tighter and never wanted to let go. Zoey pulled away and locked eyes with her boyfriend. His green eyes were filled with sadness, and fear. Fear overshadowed the sadness a great deal. Chase was tense and Zoey felt it. That's what happened when you dated your best friend. It sort of came with the territory.

ZOEY: What's wrong, Chase?

Chase looked away. The tears forming around his eyes shamed him. A silent tear fell but Chase wiped it away quickly, before Zoey saw anything. Zoey was the last person he wanted to cry in front of. Chase looked up at Zoey who had begging eyes. Like she wanted to make him feel better. One of her beautiful qualities. He sighed and ran a hand through his bushy hair.

CHASE: I had this dream. Well, more like nightmare. I was running, but I don't know where I was, but I heard a voice behind me. It was...Glenn. I don't know what he did to you, but you were in his arms and you were passed out, limp. I had all these mixtures of emotions, but trust me when I say I had fear. He held your body over a cliff. To spite and destroy me, he smirked. It wasn't one of Logan's usual 'I'm so hot' kind of smirk. It was evil, Zo. As he smirked, he let you go and you fell. I was going to run and save you, but my feet were planted to the floor, and I couldn't do anything to save you. That's when I woke up screaming your name. I'm just happy to see you. I don't ever want to lose you. I would die.

ZOEY: Oh my God, Chase...

CHASE: I'm just so shaken up right now. I haven't been this meesed up since my older sister, Courtney, flushed my goldfish down the toilet, and I was five. Last week, I didn't even know we all could control the forces of nature and had superpowers. I mean, when I was fighting with my dark side, and he shot me with some kind of dark ray, I got mad. Really mad. Like furious. I lost my common sense for the moment. You know how Quinn told us that in order for our element to work, we have to focus and channel our elemental energy, right?

ZOEY: Yeah.

CHASE: Well, when I was fighting, the colour I saw was red. All of the sudden, something snapped on the inside. My usual glow came back, or stronger, and these mysterious markings appeared all over me and they also started to glow.

ZOEY: You discovered your third attack.

CHASE: Yeah. How did you know?

ZOEY: The same thing happened to me when I was fighting my clone too.

CHASE: Wow.

ZOEY: So what's yours?

CHASE: I can start giant poisonous thorns out of my hands. Cool, huh?

ZOEY: Yeah, I guess. I just find out I could make water shoot out of the ground, and I can cause giant tidal waves.

CHASE: I think my third attck is called "Poisonous Thorns."

ZOEY: I think mine is called "Ocean Wave".

ZOEY: Chase, I love you and only you. He can't hurt us after today. We'll be ready for anything Glenn can dish out.

CHASE: I love you too. I promise to protect you. I won't let anything happen to you.

ZOEY: Thanks, there are two other men in my life who would go to Hell and back for me.

CHASE (raising an eyebrow): Who?

ZOEY: My father and my older brother, Dylan.

CHASE (laughing): Oh.

Zoey and Chase stood up and smiled at each other. All the love for each other mirrored in each other's eyes.

ZOEY: I know how you can de-stress.

CHASE (raising an eyebrow and smiling): Oh, really. What did you have in mind, Miss. Brooks.

ZOEY: Nothing really, Mr. Matthews. Expect this.

Zoey leaned in and kissed Chase. He happily kissed her back, putting all the love he had for Zoey in it. Zoey wrapped her arms around Chase's neck, while Chase wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Chase pulled her closer to him. Chase broke away, only to line Zoey's neck with kisses. Soon the kissing left a reddish-purplish hickey. Zoey moaned in pleasure, and Chase found his way back to her lips, trying to inhale her scent. Zoey smelled a mixture of apples, and roses. Chase was enchanted by her scent. He deepened the kiss and Zoey followed, their tongues trying to dominate the other. It was Chase, though, who pulled away needing to breathe.

ZOEY: Feel better?

CHASE: Yeah, we'll finish this, right?

Zoey threw him a seductive smile and winked.

ZOEY: What do you think?

CHASE (thought): SCORE! Oh, God, I'm starting to sound like Logan.

ZOEY: Come on, let's go look for our friends.

CHASE: Right behind you.

Chase and Zoey walked hand-in hand searching Dana and Logan. Thank God, they could resurrect and heal because if there was bloodshed between the two, Chase and Zoey would be a big help.

Dana was walking around, searching for Logan. It still puzzled her. Why did she care if she found Logan? Logan was an egotistic, chauvanistic ego-maniac. Logan didn't love her back. Even though he did, it wouldn't last. the dream of her wedding haunted her though. If they didn't love each other, why did they have the same dream. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Nature will take its course. It was still pretty far-fetched though. The possibility of Logan liking Dana back was, well, nearly impossible.

DANA: Logan! Where are you!

DANA (thought): Please be ok...

DANA: Logan! This isn't funny! You can come out now...Game Over.

Dana was getting impatient, and her hands glowed black. Something was wrong. Dana needed a bit of help in finding Logan.

DANA (thought): Come on Cruz, if I were Logan where would I go? Ok, scratch that. That idea won't work. Fine, if Logan is really my soulmate and we're connected somehow, I'll find him.

Dana continued to search. She stopped walking and gasped when she was a figure laying on the floor. She recognized the tan hair. Being the athlete she was, running was not a problem to her. She knelt by the mystery person's side and shock ran all over her face. It couldn't be...anybody but...

DANA: Logan...

Dana put a hand only her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. She tried to blink back tears. Dana Cruz doesn't do crying or tears. Logan's skin was a deathly shade of white. His skin cold to the touch. Dana didn't know how to feel. I guess, her heart broke because she felt numb. Dana stroked his cheeck. Maybe Logan did like her, and she lost her chance at true love. Why was she such a bitch? Her mind went back to every insult, and sarcastic remark she ever made towards Logan. Even stomping on his foot when Logan wanted to make out. She had this glassy look in her eyes. Dana did notice a piece of paper in his hands though and she took it and read it. It read:

Dana--

I'm not that great with words so I'll just get to the point. I've been with a lot of girls in my 16-year-old life but when I laid eyes on you for the first time, none of them mattered. I just wanted you. I wanted to hold you. I wanted to kiss you and just be with you. I'm not really the jerk, I come off to be. I act that way because it's my way of releasing myself from the pain of a bad childhood. I never talk about my childhood, because it hurts. Guess it's time I told you.

Being the son of famous movie producer Malcolm Reese isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Hell, there's a crapload of money, but money isn't always the answer. Not when my mom is gone. That's right. My mother, Margaret Reese, was murdered. I was 8 and my sister Samantha was 11. We came home from school, only to be greeted by blood. My mother's body was bloody and bruised. I was eight, and I didn't know very much, but I knew something was very wrong. Basically, my mom was rushed to the hospital and she died.

8 years later and they still haven't caught the guy who murdered my mother...It sucks...

My dad was too busy to be there for Sammie and I. He had his precious "career" to worry about. I would have nightmares about that murder scene, and I'd wake up to realize my dad wasn't there. I still have nightmares. Sammie and I bonded because of that. My dad is now married to some bimbo named Lisa...something. I don't know her name and I could care less. I began to raise hell at home, and to get rid of me, he sent me to PCA. Sammie and I were split up. She was sent to a boarding school in New Jersey.

That's the sordid life of Logan Reese...I may lie when I say a lot of things but I love my Mom, even though she's dead. I love Sammie. There's another girl I love though.

You. I love you, Dana. That's why I vowed to protect you from anything and everything. I still promise to protect you.

I did this for you. Try to be strong. Ok, scratch that. I'm not going to say be strong, because you have lots of inner strength. That's why I fell in love with in you in the first place.

P.S Kick Glenn's ass twice as hard for me.

Love Forever and Always,

Logan.

Dana was surprised when a tear splashed on to the paper, smearing the ink. She realized it was her own. Dana got take it anymore. Screw being weak. Screw all of it. Logan was gone. She would be shattered forever. There was no pulse to find. That all-too-familiar heartbeat, silenced. Dana continued to let tears fall. She fell to her knees, clutching to note to her chest, and the only name she could scream out was...

DANA: LOGAN!

Chase and Zoey were still looking for Dana and Logan when Zoey stopped. Chase had a look of puzzlement of his face and wondered why she stopped.

CHASE: What's wrong, Zo?

ZOEY: I heard someone scream. Loud. It sounded painful. As if someone was being shattered.

CHASE: Where is it coming from?

ZOEY: Damnit, I heard it again. It's coming from there!

Chase and Zoey ran in the direction the screams were coming from. They continued to run. A millin thoughts rushing through their heads. They spotted two figures. One was a female figure. Looked like she was crying. The other lay dead still on the floor. Chase turned white when she stopped and Zoey gasped and put a hand over her mouth, in shock.

ZOEY: No...he can't be---

CHASE: Dude...No way he could be what I think he is...

Zoey knelt on the floor beside her crying friend. Zoey had never seen Dana so shattered in her entire life. She cried on Zoey's shoulder, and Zoey rubbed her back trying to soothe her. Chase was in shock to see Logan laying on the floor, dead. It wasn't possible. Zoey was trying to fight the giant lump forming in her throat.

ZOEY: Chase, what do we do?

CHASE: I think we can resurrect him, but won't be easy. I can't do this myself.

ZOEY: How?

CHASE: We combine our powers to snap him out of it.

Dana looked up at Zoey, tear streaked cheecks. Dana found her voice and looked up at Chase.

DANA: Let's do it. I want to do this.

A/N: What happens next? Where are Nicole & Michael? Will Logan be alive again? Stay tuned...
