Tyler pulled up to his house, running around to open Hayley's door and walk up to the front door. He opened it up, spell ingredients in hand, and was thankful his mother was still at work. And would be for the next few hours. Longer if he could talk her into it. He sat the bag down on the table by the door and gestured for Hayley to come on in, "Let's get this party started, pup."

Hey where are you?

Tyler pulled up to the front of the school, revving his engine as he did so. He loved showing off his ride, knowing all the other kids were jealous of it and enjoying every minute of it. He rolled down the window, eyes landing on Hayley and letting out a whistle before speaking, "Hello there pretty lady, how about you come skip out on this boring day with me?"

He gave her his best cocky smile, hoping she couldn't see that he hadn't slept in days. He had things to do, and he knew she'd be willing to be his partner in crime.

It was early hours of the next morning and Tyler was still going through the book Sydney had given him. He was trying to absorb everything he could about vampires, werewolves, and hybrids.

Apparently, hybrids were the product of a spell (one that did not require a witch thankfully) and doppelganger blood.

The book stated that a doppelganger was a double of a living person. The spell required their blood. It was special. It completed the spell, made him a "hybrid". He'd have to find one somehow.

And then he could live forever and be with Serenity.

Hybrids, according to the book, was a mix of vampire and werewolf, holding traits of both of the two but being different as well. It was risky, the spell, and it required him to do some things he wasn't sure he wanted to do. They could only be killed by decapitation and removing the heart.

He shook his head, feeling the lack of sleep getting to him and worrying that he might be going crazy from it. Still, he stayed up, reading the book over and over, one thing on his mind.

Serenity.

Tyler skipped out on school Tuesday, pacing back and forth in his bedroom, and running outside with his earbuds in. He was trying to clear his head, figure out what he needed to do. Usually running and expending energy was something that helped him think, find the right answers. He just kept playing the scene with Serenity over and over in his his but couldn't come to any conclusions. He had to keep reminding himself of why they couldn't be together, even though he missed her terribly already.

But she was immortal. And he wasn't.

They could never have babies, never be a family. And that wolf in him needed that, the warm feeling of a body next to him, pups to raise. And he couldn't have that with her, even though every part of him told him that he needed to protect her. Be with her. It was driving him crazy.

On his last lap around the property, he took a gulp of his water and hopped in his car. He was going to see his sister.

Tyler woke up later Sunday afternoon, stretching and sitting up in bed. He looked over beside him to see Hayley sound asleep. He smiled to himself, happy to see she was still safe and also at the way she looked so innocent when she was sleeping, far from the not so innocent vixen she could be when she was awake. Reaching over, he brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face and sighed, remembering he had to get out and gather their things. He got out of bed, scribbling a quick note that he would be back and headed out to the woods in search of their things. And the girl that could have been bitten.

He pulled up to the side of the road near the woods, parking his car and getting out to sneak inside. He ran part of the way, until he could smell the blood, the fear, pack. Stopping mid run, he listened closely for any humans that could be around. Finding none, he stepped forward, seeing Hayley's things laying on the ground, ripped to shreds. He gathered them up, noting the puddle of blood to his right but seeing no body. Whoever had been here with his beta was gone now. Hopefully she was okay.
