"Jackson let me go. Now"

My voice is emotionless which is surprising. The grip on my arm becomes tighter as I say this, and I know Jackson means business. I mouth to Sarah that I will be fine, just for her to get out of here.

"Not today, we have unfinished business remember? Or did you forget what you did?"

He pulls my arm so far and throws me on the floor. I slide backwards and my head slams against the bottom lockers. At the same time, I hear a loud crack and my arm feels like it's on fire, and I know he broke my arm. I struggle but eventually get up onto my left arm and I stand up.

"You think I'm just gonna let you hurt my friend and not fight you back? I'm not a coward unlike you"

With that, he tries punch me in the face. I see the punch from a mile away and I dodge it with ease, and his fist slams into the locker making a dent. If I were anyone else, I'd probably be terrified right now.

"I see you have bark, but do you have bite little dog"

He tries to punch my face again. I dodge his punch a second time and grab his arm with my left hand and I shatter it in one move.

"Now we're even. One broken arm to another".

Thank God I am ambidextrous, or else I would be screwed. Like in a coma at the hospital with all broken limbs, a black eye and a broken jaw, or killed. That's how serious he is about this.

What I did do to originally get him this mad?

Oh right, on the first day of school I was late and Jackson was blocking the narrow path to one of my classes. I told him to move and he got pissed at me. When he tried to punch me, I ducked down and tripped him making him go headfirst into one of the drinking fountains.

Lets just say, He hasn't completely forgiven me for that.

"You Bitch"

He again tries to punch me but this time with his right arm. I dodge his punch again and I kick him in the stomach and he stumbles away from me. He then quickly trips me and I fall onto my back, and my broken arm. I try to get up but Jackson pins my left arm down .

"Now we're even"

He punches me multiple times in the face, then he tries to punch my eye, but I block his hand.

"Enough, this doesn't solve anything"

For some reason, my necklace glows, and I feel a warm fire surge through me. Jackson pulls back in pain and I see that his face and hand has a third degree burn, he looks at me with anger and runs away. The next things I remember are a blur, I see Jacob come running my way before I go dark and pass out.

I wake up in an alleyway, my arm was been wrapped up, and my head throbs as I try to sit up. Jacob is sitting by the corner sleeping, judging by the time of day, it should be around 7, but why am I in an alleyway? My father is coming home in an hour, I should be at home.

"Jacob?"

I see him wake up and turn around to my voice and sees that I am awake.

"Hailey are you ok? You have been passed out for hours"

"Yeah I'm fine. But why was Jackson burned?"

Jacob shakes his head, a sign I figured out, that he will explain it to me later.

"You need to rest..." He looks around "In a better location. Can you stand?"

"I think so..." I try to get up with my left arm, but I fall back down. Jacob walks over to me and gives me support as I stand. We walk to the end out the alley and Jacob suddenly stops.

"What's wrong?"

He points in a direction "There are Phantom Spies around."

I look at the direction that Jacob is pointing to. There are three guys, all about six feet tall walking around the campus. Even with three of them, I can tell that they are very strong.

They are dressed in all black, and their skin is also black. When one of them looks my way, they have bright red eyes, which I quickly shrink back, kinda forgetting that Jacob is behind me. Jacob puts his hands on my shoulders, trying to make me calm down.

The phantom spies group together and start talking, no doubt questioning if Jacob and I are even here. They start to walk away and Jacob helps me quietly run past the campus, and into the neighborhood. We slow down our running because my breathing starts to becomes harsh and it become hard for me to continue.

"Jacob...I need help. I feel like something is dying inside of me....like warmth is being pulled away"

I notice that there is a flame in my hand that is starting to die.

"We need to get you to your house, or else you will pass out here and not wake up for days...."

I nod, well the closest I can manage and we continue onward, moving faster than before. We reach the front door to my house and I point to a key under the mat, Jacob nods and takes the key, unlocks the door and gets me upstairs. As I lie down on my bed, my vision starts to blur and I pass out again, but this time, I have another dream.
