Chapter 9

"What are you doing?", Raphael sounded furious but why should he be? "What does it look like?" I shot back at him, he seemed suprised that I yelled at him but he ignored me and asked jasper, "who are you? ", he couldn't see jasper because jasper was facing toward me. Surprisingly, Jasper simply said "Nice meeting you Raphael and its Jasper and not... Well you know". Raphael seemed to be suprised, shocked and stunned all at the same time. "DONT YOU DARE, STAY AWAY FROM HIM OR ILL KILL YOU" Raohael suddenly yelled and rushed at jasper, it was obvious he wanted to start a fight so I stepped in between them and stopped them, "cut it out, what's wrong with you two?, how do you guys know each other and who are you guys fighting over? " I asked clearly confused but instead of an answer, Jasper kissed me on my forehead which confused me, then he said, "don't worry your pretty head darling, we are just old acquaintances". I could see Raphael tense and clench his fist as Jasper kissed me on my fore head, I pushed jasper away and said "woah, what's the meaning of this? ". "I was flirting remember" he said with a wink while completely disregarding Rachael as though he wasn't here. "I'll see you later sugar plum" he said to me and then glanced at Raphael before walking away, leaving an angry Raphael and a confused me in the hall. "Avoid him, he's dangerous" Raphael suddenly said and so I said, "and what makes you say that?, all because you have a feud with him doesn't make him dangerous and what makes you think you can decide my friends?" I said and stormed off, my day had officially been ruined. Raphael caught up with me and said, "you don't understand, he's very dangerous, he doesn't mean well for you at all". "Just leave me alone ok, I need space". "Why do I get the feeling your angry with me?". "Well maybe I am, what makes you think you have the right to.... " Raphael suddenly kissed me and my eyes widened in suprise, I wanted to talk but he said "I can't loose you, I wish I could tell you this but I can't, not yet, I'm sorry", he said while looking into my eyes and his eyes looked mesmerizing, "sorry for what?", I asked still daze because of the kiss and then he said for this as he snapped his fingers and it all became dark. I woke up with a splitting headache, the last thing I could remember was being with Raphael in school but what happened? I called him but his number wasn't reachable, I saw myself in my room but I can't recall going home. I checked my phone to see I had 13 missed calls from Emily, now I know something's weird, I would definitely had k ow if my phone rang since I was with it. I kept on calling Raphaels phone and on the 7th ring he picked. "Hey, how are you? ". "What happened?, I was with you earlier today and I don't remember anything else, what happened to Jasper? ". There was silence on the other end of the line, "hello, Raphael are you there? ". "Seems my tricks isn't enough anymore, meet me at the woods in the park and I'll tell you everything. "But its late". "Don't act like you don't go out at night, I've seen you out as late as midnight". "How's that possible?, you just moved?". "That's what you think you know, just meet me and I'll tell you the truth". I got dressed, took a knife which I hid in my pocket because I don't think I can trust Raphael anymore. I jumped out through my window in other nor to alert my parents and then I made my way to the woods in the park.

Emilys POV

Austin must think I'm a jerk for avoiding him, but it's for his own good, he doesn't k ow he's considered a threat by.... Us. I felt bad so I called him but he didn't pick up. I don't think he's noticed I'm ignoring him so it should be something else. I'm getting a bad feeling about this, if there's anything wrong then there should be only two people responsible so I head to my first target. "Dad what did you do?". "What do you mean by that?, I didn't do anything". "Well Austin's missing and your the only one who wants to get rid of him, well you and the other guy but he shouldn't know about Austin so what did you do and where's he? ". "My god, the balls, the guts, the effontrey, you have the nerve to stand there and accuse me of what? Kidnapping or killing your friend?, yes I admit i feel threatened by him due to his identity but I still wouldn't stoop so low as to kidnap him..... Yet". "Well if it's not you then.... OH NO". I ran out of the house, I went to Austin's home, I jumped into his window but I couldn't see him, I smelt his scent and it seemed he had left not quite long. I wanted to call his number but what if he was gonna get in trouble if I did that?, I decided to just follow his scents and to my horror, it led me to the woods.

Austin's POV

I was quite creeper out, why would Raphael tell me to meet him here of all places? And at this time?, it just seemed too weird and random for me. I walked slowly because I was scared and at the same time I needed to be cautious. I heard an owl hooting a few meters ahead and it creeper me out. I picked up the pace but surprisingly, I came to see what looked like a clearing in front of me, I took a step in and saw a little old garden gate just ahead, it was left open so I assumed I was meant to go there. I braced myself for what was to come and took a step in.
