“That’s fine by me…my friend is just down the street and I’m sure he’ll be fine with me dropping by with some people who need help.” Blue eyes narrowed and he rolled his own dark gray ones as they walked down the street.

“I hate to break it too you Chloe….but….you go off on your own and that man will either kidnap or kill you. For now the four of us are sticking it out and we’re getting through this,” he stated.

Jaden didn’t like the fact that the three girls seemed so tense, but they really needed to do something. However, he had another problem following them. With a sharp hiss he turned on the person standing there and narrowed his eyes in a menacing way. His eyes going cruel and the iron bangle on his wrist taking form. Within seconds he had a whip made of his element in his hand and was deeply considering ending the person’s life as a means to gain more of the element. He took in a deep breath feeling his other piece of iron on him deeply thrumming and desiring to allow him to equip it to his teeth and nails. 

The others were staring wide eyed at the transformation of the iron bangle and the faint energy of protective rage coming from the boy as he stood there and waited for the other to step out of the shadows. Jaden hissed and the person flinched while he looked them over in a very predatory state. Whatever had overcome him was more demon and less human. The person stared at him and Jaden felt his body prepare for a potential fight.

“Either you come out now and behave yourself….or I will slit your throat so fast you’ll be meeting your maker before you can beg for mercy.”
