POV Melanie
It was 9 pm and the sun was down.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
After 2 years I never thought I would see him again.
here in LA. He left 3 years ago and went to England but never told the world why.
"What are you doing here?" I asked cold
"No hello, no hug?" he asked me with a grin, "well if you really wanna know. I came back here for the book" his grin changed into a serious face.
"Blade, what are you talking about?" I asked acting confused not giving in .
"Let's talk in private love," he told me with a smile.
We go outside and he leads me to the Starbucks dumpster where not one person was, he had his back face me all the time so when he turned around slowly and came closer he asked.
"Where is it Melanie," he whispered in my ear. You could hear in his voice that he was angry.
"What are you talking about?" I say my heart almost jumping out , out of fear.
His temper began to raise so he put his hand on my neck my back faced the wall so I couldn't move.
"Where is it!" he yelled
I thought I was hallucinating because I saw his eyes turn red.
"I don't know what book," I told him tears forming in my eyes.
He hesitates but then he gets a bit calmer, pointing his finger at me.
"I know what you are. I need Mayden's book, now. Fast, give it to me and I will leave you unharmed" he demanded.
I close my eyes scared of what would happen next but then I feel like I can breathe again, I slowly open my eyes and he's gone.
I panicked and didn't know what to do so the first person that came to my mind was Chloe.
I know it sounds idiotic but who else could I call for help? Jayden? What would he do I just need my best friend on my side.
I take out my phone with shaky hands and tried to unlock my phone.
At this point I didn't care anymore I call Chloe and she picks up right away
"What?" She said a bit annoyed but I could hear in her voice that she was tired .
"Drink the tea it has a good herb to help you heal" I hear in the background
"I need your help, I'm sorry can I come over?" I asked her holding tears you could hear in my voice.
"are you okay? where are you? Do I need to pick you up? Yes, come over!" She replied when she heard my voice
" I'm coming right now and thank you really" I thanked her, wiping my tears away
How stupid this sounds but I don't care anymore because the only person that I really need is my best friend . I know even if I did something horrible she would be by my side and I smile at the fact that she did not hesitate to come get me . God I love her she's the best friend someone could ever ask for.
°°°
It took me 10 minutes to walk to her house but when I arrived I was calmed down a bit so I knocked on the door and someone opens the door who wasn't Chloe. Chloe isn't that tall when the door was fully open I saw Jayden with a hoodie and too puffy hair.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked worriedly.
Before I could answer Chloe popped up and pulled me inside. She hugged me tightly. I missed her hugs.

She pushed me to her room and told me to sit down so I did. I told her everything that happens and described to her what I hallucinated. Chloe didn't say a word she was just in shock
"His eyes turned red when he was yelling at me", I said still remembering his face so clearly
"Maybe I just got dizzy, I barely couldn't breathe. he held me tight" I continued
"No, no, no" Jayden whispered to his self
"What's wrong?" I asked frowning
He looked at us with fear in his eyes and said with also fear in his voice
"Vampire, you just told us that he went away to England for 3 years? That's a lie, he wouldn't unless there was a reason. He triggered his vampire self years ago and had to be in his world to control the urge of blood,"
"Oh come one who believes in that shit, it's probably not even real," Chloe told him hitting his shoulder while opening a can of coke giving it to me .
"Well, Melanie is one of the witches who is trying to break a curse. What more clue do you need?" He said frustrated
"I'll believe it if I see it," she said folding her arms.
"Stubborn" Jayden told me rolling his eyes
Chloe pushes him off the bed after his last word.
She then looked at me and asked if we could talk about what just happened with our friendship.
Chloe told me that she wanted to be my enemy so I can complete the spell, she left her brush so that I could have single hair and so i could end this for good.
"I'm sorry but I give up, I can't live without you," she confessed .
I smile as I say "Dont ever try something like that again we will end this together "
"I'm sorry" she chuckled and said "trust me kissing that guy was a nightmare,"
"You know you're sitting next to that guy?" Jayden said annoyed "plus I am the greatest kisser,"
"Keep telling yourself that," Chloe said sticking her tongue out
"shut up you stole my grandpa's book and you almost died" Jayden answered
"Well, I stole it for a reason?" She said frowning
"What was the reason that almost got you killed, Chloe?" I asked her
"Yeah, if I wasn't there and had brought the herbs with me to make you the tea recipe you would be dead right now,"
"How did you even know the recipe ?" I asked curious.
Jayden looks at me and says "because it happened with a lot even when my grandpa was alive. I was with him when he made the tea"
"How did you not even get cursed?" Chloe said stubbornly.
"Because Mayden is my last name?" Jayden told her shaking his head slowly that she didn't even notice
"Answer my question?" I said impatiently.
"Well-," she grabs her backpack and opens it "when we wanted to grab that dumb plant of yours, I found this book when I open it the first page I read was about the moonstone so I wanted to take a picture but of course, it was blank on my phone that's why I 'borrowed' it"
