Karen.
I looked up and I saw Roderigo approaching.
He stopped walking as he saw all of us and he looked curious.
"Don't worry you can keep going," Raphael said and Roderigo nodded. He was about to move, but all of a sudden, he froze in place.
What? I watched in shock as Roderigo's body began to turn pale and his veins became grey.
"Roderigo!" I gasped as Roderigo fell lifelessly to the floor and I looked up to see someone I didn't expect standing there..
He was wearing a black leather jacket and his eyes were completely black in color.
Jordan!
"Jordan!" Lycian exclaimed in surprise. I looked at Roderigo who was lying dead on the ground and I didn't know what to think.
"Jordan!" Lycian rushed past me and he moved closer to Jordan. All of a sudden, Jordan grabbed Lycians wrist and I saw a faint glow on Lycian's wrist.
Jordan was siphoning his energy. Lycian couldn't do anything to stop him and he began to groan loudly.
"Jordan, stop!" I shouted, but Jordan continued. I saw Lycian's body begin to pale and quickly, I fired a golden blast at Jordan.
The blast hit him in the chest and pushed him away, but I watched as his body absorbed every bit of the blast.
Lycian fell on the floor weakly and I looked up at Jordan, his black eyes filled with satisfaction.
"What are you doing? Switch back to your normal self now!" I yelled at him and he scoffed, slowly walking closer to me and using his fingers to trail the wall.
As he did, the areas of the wall touched by fingers slowly turned to dust.
"For your info, Jordan is dead, I'm the Reaper now and I don't have an amplification of his silly emotions. My emotions are mine!" Jordan said fiercely.
What the hell was he saying!
"You love Lycian and so does he. You don't have the right to do what you just did!" I yelled at Jordan.
"I don't love weaklings and cowards. Neither am I a family to anyone," Jordan stated, emphasizing each word.
"Hmm. How dare you!" I suddenly slapped Jordan on the face and his head turned to the left.
He slowly turned his head back to face me, looking angry.
"You wench!" He suddenly grabbed me by the neck and he lifted me up in the air before flinging me away.
I groaned as my back smashed the wall and I fell to the ground.
"Jordan!" Garr shouted on top of his voice and his hands began to glow in a bright purple color..
"Mom." Draco quickly ran towards me.
"I'm okay," I assured and grunted as I stood up on my feet.
"Hello Uncle," Jordan said and his lips curled up, but his black eyes only made him look devilish.
He looked around and his gaze landed on Selena.
"Don't tell me you made up with the woman who killed Jordan."
That instant, I watched as a red spark formed in the air. I quickly grabbed Draco and made him stand behind me as I realised who it was.
The spark cut through the air and Mor stepped into the corridor with Cade. We should have gone by now.
Seeing Jordan here distracted us.
"Well, well, well," Mor said, looking at Jordan.
"Just as I promised. Here he is in the flesh," Mor said with a wide grin and I rolled my eyes.
"Did you know he was Reaper, He's alive yes, but his real self is dead," Lycian said weakly, finally standing up from the floor where he sat all this while.
Mor seemed surprised and he stared at Jordan. He looked sideways and faced Cade with an inquisitive stare..
"Did you know?" Mor asked.
"I thought you knew," Cade said and Mor shrugged.
"I didn't realise I was supposed to bring back two souls. Still, I fulfilled my promise," Mor said with a smirk.
"Is there a way to fix that?" I asked.
"I think-" Cade started to talk, but I suddenly felt something breeze past me. I looked up and saw a black liquid rush past me.
The black liquid solidified into a fist that drove into Cade's chest and suddenly pulled out his heart.
I gasped and I turned around slowly to see that it was Jordan's right hand that turned into that black liquid.
The fist dropped Cade's heart to the floor and turned back into liquid, flowing back to Jordan and materializing into his original hand.
"What did you do?" Mor asked in anger and sparks began to form around his palm.
He seemed very angry and he instantly fired a red spark of lightning at Jordan.
Before the spark could hit Jordan, Jordan made a parting movement with his hands and I watched as the spark of lightning dissolved into pure magical energy and flow into Jordan's body.
"His answers are not needed so he had to die," Jordan said.
"Inflammatus." Mor chanted and immediately, Jordan's arms lit up on fire, blazing violently hot.
Jordan threw his arms around in the air as the fire burned him. I saw his arms began to glow in a faint red color and all the fire suddenly disappeared, but his arms were burnt.
Jordan seemed very angry and he suddenly opened his mouth widely, black waves of pure magical energy flowing out of his mouth and hitting Mor.
This was the perfect opportunity to escape Mor. As the waves of magical energy stopped and Mor fell to the ground, my hands began to glow in a bright golden color and I quickly ran closer to Mor.
"Celeste Oblicus," I chanted and a golden portal suddenly lifted Mor up and sucked him in before closing up.
I sighed and I turned around to face Jordan.
"Bye." He said and suddenly zoomed away at full speed.
What were we going to do about Jordan now. I looked at Cade who was lying lifelessly on the floor, next to his heart.
One down, four to go.
Karen.
"Are we seriously letting Jordan go?" Lycian asked, shoving his fingers into his hair.
"We didn't exactly let him go. He zoomed off," I replied and I rested my back against the wall. I already read about Reapers and without the necessary emotions supposed to curb them, they were ruthless and simple to say, thirsty for power.
"We have to go after him," Garr said and I faced him.
"We have to find him and get him under control before he starts hurting other people," Garr stated and I nodded.
God knows where he has gone to now and what he is doing.
"I'll do a tracking spell," I said and I closed my eyes as hands began to glow in a bright golden color.
I began to use my magic to scout for Jordan's presence.
I could feel the dark energy was releasing very far away. He was moving so fast.
I continued trying to connect with his supernatural presence and after a while, golden waves suddenly burst out of my hands and created an instant portal in the air.
"Let's go," I said and I quickly jumped into the portal. He was moving so fast so we had to catch up with him.
***
I blinked as I stepped out of the portal. We were in the same corridor where my room was and what I saw shocked me. The portal behind me closed up and I took slow steps forward so I could get in front of the pack members standing there.
There were several unfamiliar faces at the door and they were holding heavy weapons. One of them was lying on the floor with a huge hole in his stomach. He was still alive as I could sense that he was a Vampire.
About that, the instant I stepped foot here, I suddenly felt my Vampire strength leave me.
I gasped as a man shot a huge blast at Jordan and the blast flung him to the floor. I quickly rushed forward and Jordan remained on the floor with his eyes closed. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, but they were completely black in color. He looked like a demon out for souls.
"Jordan!" I gasped and turned around to face Garr who also looked shocked to see this.
I watched as black waves flowed out of his hand and they took the form of a human hand. With the hand shaped waves, he grabbed the neck of the man who just shot him and the waves stretched out till it was pinning the man to the ceiling.
Suddenly, the waves let go of him and as he fell, black waves flowed out of Jordan's other hand and they solidified into a large sword. I gasped as the man he had released fell on the sword
The man gasped as the sword impaled him and disappeared out from the other end of his body.
The men at the door looked shock to see one of them on the floor. Immediately, they all began to fire heavy blasts at Jordan.
Knowing the blast would affect us all, I and Garr stretched out our glowing hands so we can cast a spell, but Jordan suddenly stretched out his hands and massive black waves flowed out of them, they solidified before him to form a large shield and the shield tool the impacts of the blasts.
The shield finally shattered into black shards and I raised up my hand to protect my face, but the shards withered into the air before it could reach us.
I looked up slowly as I saw that nothing happened. I watched in shock as Jordan slowly transformed into a wave of black energy. He looked like a man made of tar except that he was in the form of black energy. The waves swiftly flowed to the door before rematerializing into Jordan.
His hands became that same pool of energy again and I watched as I flowed towards all the men, engulfing their weapons and swallowing it whole.
One of the men tried to cast a spell on Jordan, but Jordan's hands in the form of black energy flowed towards the man and suddenly grabbed the man's hand.
I gasped as the energy solidified around his arm and the man screamed in pain as Jordan tore off his arm from his shoulder.
The arm dropped to the floor and the Wizard dropped to the floor as he lost balance, blood gushing out of his arm.
I watched as the waves of energy in place of Jordan's hands suddenly solidified into large blades and I feared that he was going to kill them.
I wanted to zoom forward with Vampire speed, but it was no longer there and instead, I felt my body change form on it's own.
I flashed down the corridor and everything around me appeared to be pure energy. I knew that I had transformed into a lightning bolt..
I suddenly rematerialized in front of Jordan, and just as he was about to swing his hands, he stopped midair.
"Jordan, stopped this!" I yelled and the blades slowly transformed back into the black energy.
"Snap out of this. Switch back right now!" I yelled and I watched as the energy transformed back into his hands and his black eyes reverted to their normal color.
Jordan stepped back a bit and he looked around him in surprise.
"What have I done?" He asked, covering his mouth with his hand. He turned around slowly to face Lycian who was looking at him like he had just seen a ghost.
***
I blinked as I stepped out of the portal. The others stepped out too and I closed to the portal.
I looked up and I saw Jordan zooming across the street.
He finally stopped moving in front of the building of a company's building.
I looked at the building and saw the inscription on it, "STARNEX LTD"
The name sounded familiar and I tried to remember where I have heard the name before.
I knew that it was recently but I wanted to figure out exactly when or how I knew the name.
It was around the time that someone showed me the picture of Kaden. My eyes widened in realization as I remembered that Starnex Ltd is the company where I found Kaden, or at least whoever that is.
Could Jordan be here because of Kaden??
Karen.

Could Jordan be here because of Kaden??
"Why did he come here?" Garr asked, "is there something or someone in he knows here?"
"Kaden." I muttered and all of them faced me with shock written all over their faces.
"What?!" All of them, except Raphael exclaimed.
"What do you mean Kaden? Karen, Kaden is-"
"Dead, yes I know that, but I saw him three days ago," I said and they looked even more surprised.
"You saw him?" Garr asked.
"Are you sure you saw him?"
"Yes, he looked exactly like Kaden, but I'm confused because when I got close to him, I sensed that he was human," I stated and just then the entrance door of the company's building opened and I saw Kaden and another man step out of the portal.
I glanced at Jordan and I saw him slowly walk towards them.
I didn't know if what I suspected was right but I have to stop Jordan.
I immediately zoomed forward at Vampire speed and I stopped all of sudden, standing between Jordan and Kaden.
Jordan frowned as he saw me. His eyes were no longer completely black, but they still had a dark countenance.
"Why won't you just leave me alone?" Jordan said in irritation..
"Excuse me, what's happening here?" Kaden asked from behind me and I looked over my shoulder to face him before facing Jordan again.
"Why are you here? What did you come here to do?" I asked him.
"I sensed the biggest magical battery and I came for it," Jordan said and gestured at Kaden..
What? What was he talking about? What energy?? Kaden was human.
"I don't know what you're saying, but I think you need to leave," I said and Jordan hissed.
"Hello, what is happening here?" Kaden asked and he walked to to the front, glancing between Jordan and me.
His gaze stopped on me and he stared at me for a while.
"I know you," he said and I froze in place. Was he remembering who I was? Was this really Kaden?
"You're that lady at the Gala three days ago," he said and I felt so disappointed. He was only talking about when he talked to me at his company's Gala event.
"Why are you here? Are you stalking me?" He asked..
Jordan sighed loudly and he moved closer to Kaden, he was about to touch Kaden, but I suddenly fired a golden blast at Jordan.
The blast took Jordan by surprise and it suddenly hit him on the chest, smashing him to the ground.
Kaden immediately moved backward in astonishment and fear.
"Stay away from him!" I yelled at Jordan. All of a sudden, Jordan stood up and he zoomed towards me.
I gasped and groaned as Jordan suddenly drove his hand into my chest. I could feel his palms wrapped around my rapidly beating heart.
"Don't you dare mess with me!" Jordan bellowed angrily.
Just as I thought that he was going to pull out my heart, I heard an air splitting sound and all of a sudden, a scarlet blade shaped ray of light sliced Jordan's hand into two.
Jordan groaned in pain and he looked at his hands that were cut into two. The hand turned into black waves, and the part in my chest flowed out also as black waves, mixing with the ones attached to Jordan's body.
I gasped, breathing out loudly and the black was rematerialized into a complete hand.
"Holy Shit! Kaden, we need to leave now," the man standing next to Kaden said hastily and with fear.
Would Jordan have really killed me?
Jordan immediately faced the two of them. Instantly, he opened his mouth and pure black magical energy flows out of his mouth to hit Kaden.
As soon as the energy hit Kaden, I watched as Kaden turned dissolved and turned into a black cloud.
The large cloud moved around violently in the air and Jordan quickly stepped backward.
"Holy Shmoly!" Kaden's friend exclaimed in surprise and he quickly ran backward.
What was happening? I could sense the energy coming off the cloud and it felt familiar. It was the same energy of the dark clouds Nylah created below the bridge where Kaden was killed.
Immediately, Jordan zoomed away and I watched as the black clouds joined together and materialized into Kaden.
He looked at his body in surprise, shaking his arms. All of a sudden, he stopped moving and I watched as his eyelids slowly closed as he dropped to the floor. I zoomed towards him quickly and I caught him in my arms before he could fall to the ground.
What just happened??
"Karen-" I heard Stella call me from across the street and I turned around to face her.
The expression on her face made me curious and worried. What happened?
I didn't realize what happened until I looked around and saw that I couldn't see Draco.
What? Where was Draco? Where did he go?
"Where's Draco?" I asked loudly with my heart beating rapidly.
"Jordan took him."
