I sat on my bed and my mind was going crazy, why was I reacting like a female wolf pushing her mate back? I felt more scared then anything, my body reacted when I didn't. But why? Tyler didn't say a word to me on the way back. He probably won't speak to me because I disobeyed Craig well I disobeyed The Angels. "What the hell Evan?!" Tyler said barging into my room. I stood up quick in case a fight would break out between us. "What?" I said as if I didn't know what I did. "You disobeyed! You went behind there back!" Tyler shouted. "What are you gonna do about it?" I said as I puffed my chest towards him. "I'm gonna beat your ass" Tyler said tough. I put my hands up, "Let's go motherfucker".

"Hey Van-" I heard Marcel say as I swoung and hit Tyler in jaw. "Stop!" Marcel said as stood between Tyler and I. "You better be lucky!" I shouted at Tyler. I saw Tyler swing but hit Marcel in the back. Marcel didn't even move at the hit, it was as if he hit a brick wall. "Fuck!" Tyler shouted as he grabbed his hand and held it close to his chest. Tyler stormed out of my room and slammed my door shut. Marcel looked at the door with a smirk, "Your brother isn't the same anymore". "Step brother" I said correcting him, Marcel looked at me with a smirk and laughed. "Well sorry! But Craig and The Angels has changed him... If I were you I would make him stop hanging with them..." Marcel said. "Wait how did you know where I lived?" I questioned as I walked over to my dresser and took a shirt out. Marcel looked at his phone and smiled, "I live down the street from you". I walked back over and looked at his phone. "What you smiling about?" I said as if I wasn't looking at his phone. "The group chat between the group, your name is being thrown around. Wanna join and see what it is all about?" Marcel said looking up at me. "Uh yeah! I gotta see if you're talking shit" I jokingly said.

*Evan (Vanoss) has been added to the chat*

Jon: You guys can stop now... You're making me heat up....

Brock: Come on Jon you need to admit it!

Simone: Come on, you need to admit it or you'll regret it...

Jon: Stop please!

Evan: Uhhh hi?

Jon: o: oh shit!

Simone: ouuuuuuu HAHAHA

Jon: uh what did you see?

Evan: just them asking you to admit something... What is this something....

Jon: Uh nothing!

Simone: ;) come on Jon admit it

Brock: *chants* admit it! Admit it!

Evan: Come on admit something

Jon: No! Stop!

*Jonathan (Delirious) has left the chat*

"Wow, what was that?" I laughed as Marcel smirked at me. "That's Jonathan keeping a secret" Marcel smirked as he looked at his phone. I want to know the secret but I'm not that close to them enough to get into those conversations. "Ah, he can keep a good secret can he" I winked as Marcel looked up at me. "Yeah, he's the king of it and trust me no one has ever gotten a secret out of him" Marcel said as he looked at my shattered mirror. "Why is your mirror shattered?" He questioned as he walked over and touched the back of the mirror. "Oh... Uh it broke in the move..." I lied, I don't want him to think I'm a freak by saying 'oh yeah I threw a shoe at my mirror because a man was standing in it'. Yeah that's not gonna happen, he'll think I'm insane or just down right delirious ;). I looked down at my phone and scrolled though the messages between the group.

Jonathan: Hey I got intel I need everyone to come to our I mean my house... It's important...

Marcel: with or without Evan 0-0

Brock: I would think without but I'm not sure...

Jonathan: without because this doesn't concern him... No offense.....

Evan: none taken, I need to finish unpacking anyway! Bye have fun!

Jonathan: have fun unpacking :)

I smiled down at my phone at his message, I looked up and saw Marcel was gone and my window was open. "Damn he moves fast, he must do a sport" I whispered as I walked over and closed the window. I heard footsteps behind me, I slowly looked over my shoulder and saw the man from the mirror standing there. "Hello Evan..." His voice rasped, his voice sound like the guy from saw. I really don't want to play a game. "What do you want?" I questioned as I put my hands on the chest by my window. "Masquerade..." His voice choked out, "what?" I questioned. "Masquerade...." He repeated again, he started to step closer to me. This man had no face, he was just black as if he was a shadow. "M-m-masquerade.." He voice repeated as if it was a broken or skipping record. Where his eyes were suppose to be turned red. "Masquerade..." He continued to say, I couldn't back up because of the chest. "Leave me alone!" I wimpered as I put my hands up to my face. "Are you scared?.." The voice was deeper and darker. "Help me!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, "No one can see me except for you.." The voice grew. I closed my eyes as tight as I can, "Leave me alone!" I continued to scream at the top of my lungs. "Leave me!" I began to cry. "Evan.. You're scared..." The voice said. I opened my eyes to see the figure jump at me. "Evan!" Something grabbed and shook me. "Evan!" The voice started to fade into a familiar voice. I opened my eyes and saw Tyler with his hands on my shoulders shaking me. "Evan, you're okay! No one is hurting you...." Tyler said as he looked at me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly, I held him so tight that I didn't want him to leave.

-- next day --

"Evan, it's 7am we are going to be late to school!" Tyler said as he shook me awake. I shot up fast and swoung my legs around and ran to my closet. Tyler ran out of my room be down the hall. I opened my closet and scanned it for fast cloths to put on. "Ugh! Why can't I find anything! I mean I have cloths but... I can't believe I'm saying this but.... I have nothing to wear!" I said as I started to get frustrated. I turned around and saw a pear of jeans, blue shirt, white vans and red socks sitting on my bed. "Uh, the fuck?" I said softly as I looked around my room. I walked over and started getting dressed, I took my shirt off and threw it by my broken mirror.

My phone began to vibrate fast and loud, I looked at my phone it was sitting on the chest by the window.

Jonathan: Hey guys, we need to keep Evan out of danger today.... We don't need Blue Ivy getting ahold of him....

Marcel: wait...

Brock: Yeah we have to be on extra alert because Craig and them keep trying to get him... Brian told me last night while I was running

Marcel: wait

Simone: guys...

Jonathan: what?!

Marcel: Evan is in the chat....

Evan: hey?....

Jonathan: ignore everything......

I turned my phone off and turned around and looked at my door. "What?" I questioned as I walked towards my door, "Alright....".

"Evan let's go!" Tyler shouted from downstairs, I ran down the stairs and grabbed a apple from the table and ran over to the door and Tyler opened the door. I grabbed my keys and ran out the door with Tyler by my side. We jumped into my car and pulled out fast and started down the road. "Toons?" Tyler questioned as he went to touch the radio nob. At first I slapped his hand "Something fast!" I said after a while. He rubbed his hand and then turned on Get Low.

--10 minutes later--

I pulled into the school parking lot to see Jonathan, Marcel, Nogla and Brock standing by Jonathan's new car. I got out of the car and walked towards Jonathan. I heard a sigh come from behind me, I looked over my shoulder slightly to see Tyler standing next to Craig as he stared me down. I looked back over towards Jonathan and smiled, as I walked up they greeted me with a high five.

Marcel and Brock seemed to be watching the surroundings when ever I was near them. During lunch they say on each side and Jonathan sat in front of me, why are they so protective all of a sudden? Jonathan kept his eye on me at all times. The only time we didn't keep his eye on me was second period where Craig sat next to me. I need to know why they hate eachother and just saying that Brock left The Angels and joined The Plague isn't enough. There has to be another thing that has been done to make them feud. I looked up and saw Jonathan growling at Craig as he passed, he growled like a wild animal. "What was that about?" I questioned as I took a bit of the school's hamburger. Jonathan quickly turned his attention to me, "He uh. He gave me a dirty look" Jonathan said as he took out a black water bottle and took a sip of it. "Couldn't you get in trouble for not have a see through water bottle?" I smirked as he looked at me while he stood a long drink of whatever is in the bottle. "No, I already talk to the principle she doesn't care..." He said as he put the mysterious bottle back in his bag. I tried to see what was in the bottle when he put it in his bag but I didn't want to be seen doing it.

"Hey Brock have you taken a sip of your drink yet? Your eyes are.... Fading" Jonathan said as motioned his eyes to his bag. Brock looked at Jon with confusion in his eyes, "what?" He softly said as he look at Jon's bag. Brock's eyes got big I would assume he knows what Jon is talking about. "Uh sorry I just have been busy...." Brock said as he looked around and then back at Jon. "Hey, I uh want to go home now...." I softly said as I stood up from the table and started towards the cafeteria exit. "Wait-" I heard Jonathan say but the lights in the building went out. It was pitch black. "Jonathan?" I said as my voice quivered. I felt my body hit the floor, "Jonathan....." I said one last time before my body went numb.

--12 hours later--

Jonathan sat on my hips and stared at me, "You know you're beautiful. Like everyday and everytime I see you" Jonathan softly said as he ran his hand down the side of my face. I grabbed and held his hand against my face, "I love you Evan..." Jonathan said softly as he leaned down into me. Our lips inches from one another. "I love you too Jonathan" I whispered as I put my hand on the side of his face. I watched as his green eyes slowly turned red, "Jonathan....?" I said as my voice trembled in fear. I watched as his teeth formed into fangs. I felt fear and terror but yet I felt safe and protection. He stared at me with the demon inside of him, he quickly turned his head away from me. "Please, don't look away from me" I softly said as I put my hand on his jaw and turned his face towards me. "I want to see the true you..." Speaking soft made him look back at me. I didn't mean to say any of that it just came out, "Evan...." Jonathan said as I stared at the red in his eyes. It began to beat like my pulse.

Jonathan stood me up and took me by the hand and we ran out of the bedroom. "Come on..." Jonathan said as we ran down the stairs. Once in a while he would look back at me, everytime he would it seemed the world would slow down. He looked as if he was in a slow motion turn. Everytime he would look at me, my heart would speed up and stop when he gave his signature laugh. He such a beautiful creature, he's awesome. Amazing. Handsome. Powerful. He turned around and looked at me, he pulled me close to him. He may tower over me but I still love him.

I sat up fast and saw I was in my house in my bed. I looked around the room and saw no one but Tyler sitting on the edge of my bed. "Are you alright?" I questioned as he stood up and sat down in a chair. "I'm fine... What happened?" I softly said as I looked at my window and saw it was open. "Uh, who else is here?" I questioned hoping he would say Marcel "Well um-".

"Me, and Brian" Craig said walking into my room, I grabbed the blanket and kneeled down on the bed. "Why are they here?" I questioned as I looked around at them. "If you didn't hang out with them you would of never been in this situation" Craig said as he stepped towards me. I felt anger build up in me, an anger I've never felt before. An anger of protection. I let a small growl slip through my lips. "Did he just" Brian started but Craig finished "Yeah..". Brian put his hand on his belt, Craig stepped in front of Brian. He slowly walked over to me, "What do you remember before you pasted out?" Craig questioned as he sat on the edge of my bed. "I remember walking out of the cafeteria and then all of a sudden the school lights turned off and I was standing in the pitch black hallway" Smirking I told the truth but knew I could also lie. Tyler walked out of my room and said he was going downstairs for a drink "Alright, why are you with them? They are persuasive people and you need to leave them" Craig had anger in his voice as he spoke.

"I'm not allowed to say"

"You can tell us anything, we are here to protect you from them! They are dangerous and if you keep hanging out with them you will see why" Craig started leaning in as he quote on quote intimidated me. I heared Tyler coming up the stairs, I took this time to slide under Craig fast as Tyler walked in my room. "Craig...." Tyler's voice choked as he stood in my doorway. "No! This isn't what it is" Craig said as he turned his head towards Tyler. A small smirk crawled onto my face. Tears built up fast in his eyes as he backed up. Craig stood up and ran after him calling his name. Brian looked at me with anger, "Why did you do that?" Brian said softly as his face turned to confusion.

"Why are you here? This isn't your territory" Marcel's voice snapped. I turned my head towards the window to see Marcel standing there, "You can't claim territory" Brian argued. "Are you sure because Jonathan claimed Brock fast" Marcel's voice was slippery. Those words just made Brian angry, Brian pushed Marcel. "He didn't hesitate to break, when he fell into Jonathan's hands he broke and fell for our group. It doesn't take much to brainwash someone" Marcel continued as he had a sinister smile. "Stop it" Brian said as a his face started turning red with anger. "Stop what? I'm only telling the truth. The truth hurts doesn't it?" Marcel snapped.

Their arguing was worrying me yet making me happy. "Guys..." I softly said not wanting it to end. "Well you suckers need to leave Shadow High" Brian said stepping towards him. "Suckers?" I said loudly as I knew they would hear me. They stopped arguing and looked at me, they looked back at eachother. "He means fun suckers" Marcel said as he backed up towards the window. "Marcel, don't go" I said quietly as Brian left my room fast, I'm guessing he left to find Craig.
