Cade stood there watching in utter bewilderment, he was too absorbed in what Adrian was doing that he did not notice Rexy dive at him. They both crashed down to the ground as they grabbed each other and threw punches here and there. Cade quickly stood up and swung an upper cut at Rexy sending him back down. Rexy grabbed on to his ankle and pulled him down on top of him.
They kept hitting each other, but Cade was stronger. He got up and dragged Rexy in to an alley to prevent passers-by from staring at them.
He knew Adrian put him up to this. He saw a chance and snapped Rexy's neck. It would not kill him but it would put him to rest for the time being. He just wished he would not be found while he was still passed out. Vampires did not die unless you ripped their hearts out or cut their head off.
He pulled him close to a dirt stand and covered him up with the dirt bags and discarded refuse. He looked around quickly and left.
Back at mystic world, Xavier was getting nervous. He trusted Adrian. He had never failed any mission before,and he always returned on time. This was taking too long. What if the hybrid had killed his son ? What could possibly be delaying him? He had waited for days and still no sign of him,no news from him and nothing from Rexy. Rexy!he thought, if all that he said ever turned out to be a lie, he would behead him once and for all. Mystic world timing was different from the real world timings. A day in the human world was a week in mystic world. And Adrian had been gone for more than four weeks. That was very unusual. And it was the human world at that. All his previous missions had been in mystic world but this was different. He decided to send Adrian's younger brother Jordan to go and find his brother.
Jordan was different from Adrian. He was irrational, ruthless like his father, a bit careless, and very non chalant. Adrian was ruthless but not as much as Jordan. Jordan was a psychopath and always bloodthirsty. His father knew this and was very careful to exclude him from a lot of things. He liked his ruthlessness but he worried about his carelessness. He knew he was prone to destruction and ruin, so he kept him as the backup.
He was scared of sending him to the human world, but he had to because he was the only one that could find his brother. Vampires related by blood had a connection to each other. He went in search of Jordan. He did not find him in his bed chambers and he decided to check one of his favourite places.
When he found him in the woods, he was sucking the blood of one poor animal. Jordan had a thing for hunting.
Xavier stood and waited for him to finish what he was doing.
Jordan knew someone had come up from behind him. He was sucking the blood from an animal he had captured,when he heard someone approach and he opened his eyes. He just sniffed the air and knee it was his father. His eyes lighted up and he grinned devilishly. He stopped what he was doing and stood up to face his father,blood dripping from both sides of his mouth.
" Hello father " he said as he wiped the blood on his mouth with the back of his palm.
Xavier thought he looked ghastly with the blood and fangs but he concealed his disgust with so much expertise,as he had always done. He loved his sons,he loved Jordan but he could not deny that he was a monster. Everyone was wary of him and stayed out of his way. He did have friends though, friends that were almost like him. All careless and power intoxicated because their parents were part of the leadership Council. They were what you would call rich spoilt brats in the contemporary human world.
" you seem to be having a swell time " xavier said to him.
Jordan chuckled " since when did you start caring about what I did with my time "
They looked each other dead serious in the eye.
" I do have a job for you, if you would be interested "
" I am not interested "
" it is about your brother"
" what about him ?"
" He has gone missing "
Jordan gave him a quizzical look.
" I sent him to the human world to retrieve something that we lost in the past. Its been four weeks, and he is not back yet. "
" so I need you to go and find him " Xavier added looking at him closely.
" so you need my help"
" I need you to find your brother "
" so what? You can remind him how much you love him more than me and make him king? "
" your brother is in danger."
" he is your one good son and so he is capable of taking care of himself "
" I sent him to kill the hybrid " xavier raised his voice.
Jordan's expression changed then, he became more interested.
" I sent him to find the hybrid and kill her. I worry that she might have done something to him. A hybrid should not be underestimated"
" so you don't tell me anything about all this, and now that your plan is going south you need me to clean up your dirt "
He was looking at his father viciously now.
" he is your brother "
" and I am your son! " he yelled.
Xavier sighed.
" Gather a team , you will go to find your brother. I would have sent someone else to do it but you have a higher chance of finding him than any one else could "
" what if I say no ?"
" you can not. This is an order, I am your father, I am your king and you will obey me !" Anger flashed in his eyes making Jordan rethink whatever he had wanted to say"
He gave his father a one sided smile
" what if he is already dead ?"
" I will need you to bring his dead body back first "
" you leave tonight " he said with a note of finality.
Jordan looked at his receding back, anger and rage burning in his eyes. He was totally unaware that his finger nails were growing longer and uglier like that of a predator about to strike his prey.
" is this the team you are going with ? " Xavier asked as he surveyed Jordan and his friends.
He looked at the only girl in the group, Kate, who looked as white as snow. Her black lipstick and black funky clothes gave her the look of a crazy rockstar.
The other boy in the group, Xander, had eyes just as soulless as Jordan's.
" do you have your sun necklaces?"
" Yes we do " Jordan snapped.
They wear sun necklaces anytime they had to go to the human world to prevent the sun from burning them.
" my son Adrian is yet to come back from his mission at the other side"
" you mean the human world " Jordan interjected bitterly.
" Yes the human world" Xavier answered.
" I want you to find him, dead or alive. And find the hybrid too"
" Yes my lord" the other two answered.
Jordan scoffed.
" you will need weapons incase "
" we do"
They had each picked their favourite guns and loaded them with sharply pointed wooden bullets dipped in hibiscus oil, which is poisonous to vampires.
" Let's go " he said as he pushed past the other two and lead the way.
" Jordan " his father called as he was about to pull open the gigantic Palace doors.
" I will be waiting "
" of course " Jordan scoffed and scowled. He pulled the doors open in one powerful swing.
