Ok just thought I had to say this: you can comment things like 'finally' now because it's been so long since my last update. I'm truly sorry, and I'm not gonna bother making exuses.

Anyway, finally, here it is!

***

Jess's POV

I heaved heavily, letting the air fill my lungs. I couldn't use my powers because of the resin so here I was, panting like a worthless human.

I checked my energy. Due to my extra powers, it was filling remarkably. I thought I might just have enough to perform the spell I needed.

I turned to Jacob and Katy who were storming after me, and muttered "encantum." before I felt the energy escape my necklace and swirl around me. I thought hard, and felt my smooth body quickly transform into that of an eagle.

I squawked as they skidded to a halt and I flapped my wings repeatedly, setting off into the night sky.

***

Katy's POV

I watched as the eagle (Jess) flew away, and heard Jacob mutter "damn"

"I hate witches," he shook his head.

"I... guess I can see why," I told him. He smiled and grabbed my arm. "sorry about that. Let's get back to the castle... it's not safe out here."

Too late.

"Jacob, don't leave! Am I too late to join the party?" we heard a chuckle behind us, and spun around the face Maryam. She was surprisingly close to my face and I stepped back, shocked.

"I just thought I'd warn you that my daddy's assembling the troops. See you on the battlefield."

She winked, but before she could transform and run away I grabbed her arm, making her furrow her eyebrows and turned to me.

"Kasterina, it's not a good idea to kill me again,"

"I didn't plan it," I told her, raising my hands in the air. "Maryam, what happened to you? You weren't like this before,"

She grinned, not a nice smile but one that reminded me of knifes.

"I guess being killed changes a person, Katy." she smiled and transformed into a white coated wolf, howling before padding away. Jacob turned to me.

"Don't ask," I muttered before running back to the castle.

Jessica's POV

I stormed away from Vincent.

"Jessica-"

"why me?" I screamed. No, I wasn't angry because I was a goddess. That would be stupid. I was angry because apparently I was 'sexy when I was suprised'.

"why couldn't you just pick up some hot bitch from America? Why ME?"

"because you're my mate."

I scowled, jumping into my golf cart. "Fuck fate. Fuck you. Fuck my life. Fuck EVERYTHING," he smirked at my long line of swearwords. I stuck my tongue out at him and drove away, leaving him to stand there like an idiot.

Served him right.

I jumped. There was a cart in front of me, blocking my path. I screeched to a halt before recognising the cart's design.

"what the hell, Ryan?!" I screeched, jumping out of my golf cart to slap him. He just grinned.

Ryan's POV

"I did that to grab your attention," I told her, playing. She and her friends were the hottest girls in the school, and for some reason I felt she was my best bet.

"I hear you like bad boys."

She rolled her eyes. "you heard wrong."

I laughed. She really was hard to handle, which I liked.

"I figured you'd be easiest to sway."

"again, you figured wrong." I heard a hint of truth in her voice, but I chose to ignore it. Another reason I picked Jessica is because she was my favourite, not because she was prettiest because I marked them the same, but because of her fiery attitude - it was not unlike mine.

"anyway, I came to ask you if you-"

She cut me off mid-sentance, her mouth forming a large 'O'.

"Ryan, don't do this," she told me "you will regret it."

I smirked and went right on with what I was about to say. "would go to the dance with me?"

Immediately my vision blurred and I felt my head slam against the wall, and a piercing pain shot through my head.

"what the-?" I gasped, locking my eyes on the gasping face in front of me, seeing none other than prince Vincent. What the hell?

"your sire, did I do something wrong?"

In reply to this I received another head slam, and Vincent glared down at me. Seriously, what had I done?

"yes you have," he growled. "you attempted to seduce my mate."

Yes, I knew Vincent could read minds - this also allowed him to see memories. He'd clearly read that I'd planned to rape Jessica if she hadn't simply come along... but wait. HIS MATE?

"if you don't mind me saying, your highness, it is not against the rules."

"it is if I say it is," he slammed my head into the wall again, and I got the feeling that now he was going to kill me.

"Stop!" Jessica screamed. "Vincent, stop! He may be a dick but you can both be dicks together, OK? God dammit I can fly and control people, I don't need you to fucking protect me! Do you not think I would of rejected? Yeah he may be a pushy asshole who just wants to get me laid but no one deserves to die for that! He's a teenage boy! God dammit if you were him you'd probably do the same! I'm not going to that dance with any boy, OK? You can trust me! Vincent, LET GO OF HIM!"

I felt his hand release itself from my neck and I fell to the floor, panting. Vincent turned to me.

"try it again, and I won't be so gentle."

GENTLE? He called that fucking GENTLE?

He stormed away, and Jessica gave me an apologetic look before getting into her golf cart and driving in the opposite direction, to the dorms. I sighed.

OK, so Jessica was off limits. But I could still try Hannah or Hillary.

There was only one question: which to choose?
