Jaded Ways
Chapter 5
A/N: So I now have a better idea of where the plot is going. To be honest I didn't see this coming. I'm sorry, but this one is going to be kind of short.
Jade and Garth quickly leave London and head back to LA. It's around midnight when they get back. Waiting for them at their meeting place, which is in her pack's hidden base, are Theo, Beck, Andre, Robbie, Rex, and CAT? 'What the hell is Cat doing here?' Jade thinks to herself before glaring at Beck who gives a sheepish smile, and a guilty look.
Previously in the day. With Beck and Cat. "Beck, I'm going to that meeting regardless of whether she says I can be there or not! I have every right to be there!" Cat yells at Beck. Cat has been following Beck all over the place ever since school ended trying to force him into taking her. "Cat! I already told you like one hundred times! .COME!" Beck finally got tired of this and exploded on her. Cat looked at him with a dead serious expression. When Cat got this way, there was no telling her 'no'. That was that.
Back to the meeting room in Jades base. "Cat? What are you doing here?" Jade said with a scowl set on her face while her and Garth enter the room. "Beck said I could come." Cat says all sweetly and innocently. Beck got a surprised look on his face and turned towards her. "Cat!" Beck exclaims as she just looks at him confused. "What? You did." She says innocently. Which is true he did say she could. It's not like she's lying. Maybe not mentioning everything that led up to it, but definitely not lying.
"Beck I'll deal with you later. Cat you need to leave." Jade says in a threatening tone. "No." is all Cat says. She doesn't whine or yell, just says 'no' in a serious manner. Jade walks over to her and stares at her deep into her eyes. Jade sighs in defeat. She saw the look in Cat's eye. There was no winning this one. "Fine, Cat. But since you're not part of my pack, you are not part of this meeting. Meaning you have no right to speak, during this meeting. Am I understood?" Jade says in a tone much like a strict mother to her daughter. Cat responds in a sweet innocent child like voice. "Yes mommy." The others just laugh at this, until Jade glares at them.
"Right then. Let's start from yesterday's events. Yesterday when we were at a music store three young cold ones entered and cornered Cat there." Jade points towards Cat, then continues. "They tried to abduct her because of cat's unique blood. We aren't sure what makes it unique, but we can guarantee, it's nothing any ordinary human would posses." Jade looks at Cat and sees the shocked and puzzled expression on her face. "Cat there's a reason why you were able to tell they were vampires so easily. Just like when we first met and somehow you knew I wasn't human. That's not something any human could do. We know you're not a vampire, or werewolf, but we don't think you're entirely human either. You're special Cat." Jade says in the most sincere tone she can muster. "Clearly you are mostly human, but I think there is something more to you. There are traces of your blood that can only be found in certain supernatural beings, such as fairies, nymphs, pixies, angels, or even a demigod. I'm not sure which of those if any you might be but I do know you are not ordinary, Cat. Because of this, those cold ones tried to abduct you." Jade sighs before continuing. "After scaring them off I chased them to an abandoned building. Inside were around three-dozen cold ones all surrounding a larger more powerful cold one sitting on a throne." Everyone and I mean everyone in the room looked shocked to hear this.
"I managed to kill all the weaker ones, but the one on the throne got away. On his neck was an emblem with a symbol on it. I didn't think anything of it at the time. That is until Theo returned with some bad news. Things are getting worse every day. The order is falling." Everyone is utterly shocked to hear this. "It's only a matter of time before the pureblood race ceases to exist." Jade says solemnly. No one knows what to think of this news. "The emblem on that cold ones neck was the emblem of the 'Blood Seekers'. The Blood Seekers are a group of Vampires who are determined to wipe out the pureblooded vampire race." Jade says with sadness in her voice.
"The order doesn't stand much more of a chance. There are so few purebloods that even with our unique abilities, it may not be enough. The order prevents purebloods from creating too many still bloods. Still Bloods are what all of you are, people turned into a vampire by a pureblood. Which is why none of you can create new vampires. Still bloods make perfect soldiers for purebloods, but the order has strict rules on creating still bloods. However with the order falling, those rules don't seem to matter anymore. Due to recent events, I have decided to expand our ranks and create a small army of still bloods in order to help the order or if all else fails simply keep us alive." Jade states before turning around and walking out of the room leaving everyone to think about everything she just said.
"Man. I can't believe the order is falling." Andre says. "Yeah. Jade always made them seem unstoppable." Beck agreed. "What are we going to do? I don't want to die!" Robbie screams like the coward he is. "Oh, man up!" Rex says. Cat just sits there shocked by everything Jade just said. "Jades father is part of the order." Cat says quietly, but everyone heard her and stops what they were saying. "Oh yeah." Robbie says quietly. "Oh man." Andre says. "Yeah." Beck nods.
Cat leaves the group to go find Jade. Cat finds Jade outside staring at the moon lost in thought. Cat sits beside her and stares at the moon with her. She silently waits until Jade is ready to talk. Finally Jade breaks the silence. "You know, I used to hate my dad being part of the order. I always wondered why he would rather be there instead of with me. But now I'm kind of glad. It's easier to say goodbye to someone you hardly know." Jade says sadly. Cat can hear Jades voice breaking as a single tear drop falls down Jades face. As it falls down her cheek, Cat gently wipes it away. "You know how you said you'll always be there for me? And how I never have to be alone?" Cat asks Jade in a more natural tone as opposed to her usual cheery one. "Yeah." Jade says with a smile. "Well, that goes both ways." Cat says and they turn to look at each other. Cat grabs Jade and pulls her into her arms, gently squeezing her and rubbing her back as Jade silently cries into her shoulder.
"You know, the sun stops shining, when you start crying. And all the children of the world get sad, when you get mad. The world stops spinning when you stop grinning. And the world turns to bad. The only way to fix it is when you get happy, which makes me sappy. When you start laughing, the world turns to good again. The sun will rise and the world will spin, and the children will laugh again." Cat gently sings to Jade, causing Jade to laugh a bit before crying harder. Both of them know Jades family is as good as dead.
A/N: okay so this one is pretty short, but I figure this is a decent stopping point for now.
