"Look, say what you have to and leave."

Marc looked at her and said, "Okay, just give me five minutes." Jet nodded. Marc looked thoughtful for a second, then opened his mouth and said: "Okay news from Circle Daybreak is: We have not yet found the fourth Wild Power but we have scouts constantly out looking. And we think we may have found them. It’s a guy named Chris Reed. He’s a Shapeshifter." Jet raised her eyebrows.

"A Shapeshifter? And does he know this?," Jet asked.

"I don’t know, go ask him., " Marc said aspirated.  Jet gave him a look.

"And how am I supposed to do that?," Jet asked, a hint of suspicion in her voice.          

"They, want to send you to keep a eye on him." Marc said, looking at Jet with something like laughter in his eyes.

"Marc you know I haven’t even said yes. If I even want to join Circle Daybreak," Jet said sighing slightly.

"But you will,” Marc said his mouth forming a straight line.

"And how do you know that?," Jet asked, a smile tugging at her lips. Marc looked at her saying:

"Cause I know you, and cause I’ll convince you." Jet stared at him.

"And how will you convince me?", She asked. Marc grinned at her.

"Like this," he said, and he stepped closer to her and quickly, so she couldn’t move her head, he kissed her. Hard at first, then softly ended it. Marc saw the surprise flash in her eyes, and he laughed.

"What’s the matter Jet? Didn’t you think I would do that?," he asked.

"You, you...," Jet spluttered. She raised her hand to hit him, and was about to draw her hand across his face, when he caught her hand, and spun her around until he was holding her, crushing her up against him.

"You mustn’t forget that you aren’t the only vampire around here, any more." Marc said softly in Jet’s ear.

"Marc, let me go!" Jet said angrily her voice muffled, because her head was crushed up against his chest. Marc smiled. But he finally let her go, when she scratched him.

"Hey," he said. "You don’t have to get all worked up about it." Marc drew the words out slowly. Jet just rolled her eyes and shook her Black hair out of her eyes. Jet turned to leave, but Marc caught her wrist, and wouldn’t let her.

"Marc, let me go!" , Jet said angrily. Marc just shook his head.

"Not until you tell me if your going to join Circle Daybreak," he said.

"Marc, I told you I don’t know." she said true-fully. Marc looked at her, loosening his grip slightly.

"Oh, I wouldn’t join Circle Daybreak, just yet. You should really expand your choices." A cold familiar voice said to her. She turned around and what she saw shocked her. Cause she saw...

Part 2

"Well know," Marc said, looking at her slightly. "Hey, you there?" Marc asked looking at Jet.

"W-what did you say?" Jet asked Marc, Shaking her head slightly.

"I asked if you knew or not if you were joining C.D." Marc said slowly.

"Oh. I thought I heard something. I guess I didn’t after all. You won’t leave until I say yes will you?" Jet asked Marc. Marc nodded. "Okay, so umm...yes." Jet said, flashing a savage smile.            

"I knew you would say yes, cause you see you’re not as bad, as you think you are," Marc said, slightly running his thumb over her cheek. Jet raised her eyebrows and said:

"Aren’t I?" She smiled mysteriously then she grabbed his hand that was holding her cheek, and pulled on it, yanking her wrist around, and flipped him over on his back.

"You see, I am wicked," Jet said, smiling wickedly

"Okay, okay, let go of my hand, I think you broke it!," Marc said glaring slightly.

Jet smiled and let go of his hand saying: "Not like it really matters anyway. It’ll heal in a couple of days."

Marc looked at her and said: "So I don’t like helpless for a couple days."

"Poor you." Jet said rolling her eyes. "Hey, maybe Just can stay with you?"        

"Well, anyway, now that you’ve said yes about joining Circle Daybreak, you have to go get your assignment, and go in a safe house." Marc said looking down at the ground.

"A safe house? Umm...no I don’t think so." Jet said

Marc looked at her and said patiently, "Jet, you gotta go there, or the night world, will kill you. If they find out that you work for C.D."

"But I’m not...or at least not really. I mean, sure you tell me all this stuff that happens with C.D. and all, but I don’t belong, you only tell me, so that I can keep an eye out, for you, and you trust me not to tell anyone. And besides, I can belong to C.D. but I can also be careful about it and all. Besides I can’t stay at a safe house. You remember the last time someone tried to protect a wild power at a safe house. Keller and Grandma Harman had a hard time trying. And... " Jet left it there. Marc nodded.

"Yeah, I know, maybe you’re right, so be at C.D. tomorrow, and meet me there in the lobby, all right?" Jet nodded, and Marc tilted her head up and kissed her, whispering softly: "Take care." Then he was gone.  ~
