Forever Love | Xavier Thorpe

Chapter 1

"I said, I want to see him." Blair demanded. Since Xavier had been arrested, she had been at the station trying to see him but they refused to let her through.

"And I told you that there are no visitors allowed. Return tomorrow during visiting hours." The officer at the desk told her.

"I told you that I will not be leaving until I see him." Blair repeated.

"Listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth, you stupid little girl. Get out or you will be arrested, you cannot see your precious outcast boyfriend because it is not visiting hours. So, leave before I arrest you for being a pain in my ass." The woman glared at Blair.

Blair didn't know what had happened, but she was filled with white-hot rage from the way this woman spoke to her. "Fiat mihi per! [Translation: Let me through!]" The officer's eyes turned an icy blue, she reached for a key on her belt and held it out for Blair to grab.

"He's in Cell 3." She informed her, Blair grabbed the key and ran to the holding cells.

She was wrong. It wasn't Xavier. She got the wrong person arrested. Her sister hated her now. All because of Tyler Galpin. He' the Hyde. The first boy she actually liked and he was a murderer. Now Wednesday stood in Crackstone's Crypt waiting for Tyler to arrive.

"Thing gave me your note. I was surprised you wanted to see me again after you ran out the other night. So, uh, is this a date?" Tyler asked as he walked in.

"It's a surprise." Tyler moved forward and leaned in to kiss her. But Wednesday avoided him and walked behind him. "When I came to Nevermore, romance was the last thing on my mind. But when you kissed me, you opened my eyes and suddenly it all made sense."

Tyler released a confused scoff.

"Xavier warned me about you, but I didn't listen." Wednesday said.

"Ironic now, huh?" Tyler chuckled.

"Ironic would've been framing Xavier for murder while the real Hyde helped me put him away." Wednesday said, shocking Tyler.

"Wait... you don't think..." Tyler stuttered.

"I don't think. I know. Kinbott probably discovered your secret during one of your sessions. So, she unlocked you. Why'd you kill her? I thought Hydes were typically loyal to their masters."

"Wednesday, this is nuts."

"On Outreach Day, I told you I was visiting the old meeting house. Did Kinbott send you to spy on me? At the Rave'N, you overheard Eugene and me discussing your cave in the woods and you warned Kinbott. Eugene probably saw her torching it. Then she sent you to clean up her mess. I have to hand it to you, Tyler. Wounding yourself that night at the Gates mansion, that was a masterstroke of misdirection."

"Okay, stop. Do you know how insane you sound right now? I'm not a monster. A... And if you really thought that I was, why would you risk bringing me out to the woods to confront me alone?"

"Who said I was alone?" Just as Wednesday said that, the Nightshades walked out, surrounding them.

"Okay, I don't know what kind of sick joke you're playing, but I'm out of here." Tyler tried to walk out but Bianca stood in his way and used her siren voice.

"Actually... you're coming with us."

Wednesday instructed the Nightshades to take Tyler to Xavier's at studio. They chained them to the chair just as he started to wake up. At first Tyler only heard disconcerting audio distortions and was only brought back to the present but Wednesday snapping her fingers. "Welcome back." She said.
