Chapter 16:

Tyler and Nicole walked down the hallway together, their hands were held closely. Tyler kept itching at the mark on his hand. Nicole looked at him doing that and decided it was best not to make a big deal out of it. Just then Reid and Caleb walked towards them.
"Tyler I heard what happened last night are you okay?" Caleb asked concerned as Tyler just shook his head yes. Then Caleb turned to Reid and Nicole. "What the hell were you guys doing out there anyways?" He asked sharply.
"I thought we might be able to find some answers out there," Nicole said shrugging.
"Yeah well you could have gotten Tyler killed!" Caleb yelled. "I thought we agreed that I would be calling the shots?"
"No... we said us guys would be," Reid said. "But the deals off... Nicole and Nova know a lot more about this shit then we do," Reid admitted to Caleb. "And Nicole did a good thing going there... And I think we should go back."
"NO!" Nicole yelled admidatley as they stared at her. "It's not safe," She mumbled.
"I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT FROM THE BEGINNING!" Caleb snapped. Nicole just lowered her head. She knew Caleb was right. She knew she should have never taken them there in the first place. The mark on Tyler's hand began to prickle and he rubbed at it. Nicole gave him a questioning look.
"You okay Tyler," Caleb asked.
"Yeah fine," He said casually. He knew that if he showed Caleb the weird scar he would just attack Nicole more and flip out. So he decided to keep it between him and Nicole. The four of them walked off to class. As they entered the big room Nicole and Tyler sat down in the middle section. Reid ran over to the far left section and sat down in the seat next to Nova giving her a small kiss on the cheek and wrapped his arms around her. The professor entered and behind him Mikki and Scott. Mikki kissed Scott on the lips and turned around. As soon as she made eye contact with Tyler his scar began to burn like a leaf in a fire. He let out a screech of pain and the classroom grew quiet and everyone's eyes were on Tyler.
"Mr. Simms is everything okay?" The professor asked. Tyler couldn't focus on what was going on though. The excruciating pain began to make him dizzy. "Mr. Simms? I can write you a nurse's pass if you would like?" The professor said getting irritated that this was interrupting his class. Tyler couldn't take the pain any more he got up and ran out of the classroom as fast as he could. Nicole got up and noticed that no one had moved. She looked over at Reid seeing his eyes dark as the midnight sky. She realized that he had frozen everyone in the class. "Go after him." Reid lip spelled to Nicole as Nicole ran out.

"Ty?" She asked as she walked around the hallway. "Tyler!"
"Nicole," She heard Tyler say in pain. She saw him in the corner of the hallway holding his hand.
"TYLER!" She yelled as she ran over to him. "I'm gonna get you over to Genevieve. But until then." She said as she put a small powder on Tyler's hand that relieved the pain. "The effect of that won't last long... But it should last long enough to get to... Oh shit!" Nicole cursed realizing she didn't know how to get to Genevieve's only Nova did.
"What?" Tyler asked finally relieved from the pain.
"Only Nova knows how to get there," Nicole said.
"And that's why I'm going with you," Nova said from behind them as they turned around. "Come on I'm driving." She said as she walked past them pushing her sister.
