Note from Ryan Jayzon
Nicky,
You are the first kid I actually liked. You proved to me that kids can be cool too. I am not sure what to tell you kid, our family tree is not the typical for sure, but maybe we are the lucky ones. We get to decide our destiny. The scariest thought is when you don’t think you have control over who you will become. What happens if we lose ourselves and forget where we have come from, who we belong to, and why life is truly worth living? What your father has gone through, and we as his family have gone through fighting to get the true Nick Jayzon back, has shown how easy it is to become the monster in our nightmares. The best advice I can give to you Nicky, is to stay close to your family and constantly remind yourself what it means to have love in your life.
Your forever devoted uncle,
Ryan M. Jayzon

How Nick Jayzon came to life
Everyone has a point in their life where things get tough and sometimes really tough. I have had many, but at one point things became so tough I really wasn’t sure I could go on much further. Tough actually would be an understatement, things were devastatingly awful and no matter what I did, I didn’t think I could survive them. I had lost my fight, my drive and along with it myself. Then one night deep within my tears I begged for help, I begged for a reason to survive and the strength to do so. What I got was not what I expected, what I got was a shadowy character who entered my dreams and purposely provoked me to challenge him. He was hazy at first, but the more I tried to ignore him the more clear he became, and the more demanding of my attention he became, until I built up such a hatred for him that I fought back. I demanded he go away and leave me alone. I had enough things to deal with I didn’t want him in my dreams, I didn’t want him in my head at all. So what did he do, well he came at me even more and more, pushing me to fight. He began to haunt my imagination everywhere I went, I couldn’t get rid of him and so therefore, I became angrier and fought even harder to get him to leave my head. He didn’t, he stayed and continued to provoke me to challenge him until I fell in love with him and most importantly, myself again. Yes, he was just in my imagination, but he saved me from the depths of the depression I was in and got me to fight for myself and for my life. Nick is not just any character, he’s my hero.

How Kayla Jayzon came to life
Kayla also entered my dreams around the same time Nick did. She didn’t harass me or try to provoke me to fight, she would lead me into fights. She was clearly on a mission and it took some time to understand what that mission was. Once I understood that she was searching for her sister’s killer, it was easy to match her up with Nick. At first I was sure she was going to kill him and take off with all his money. I had the final scene completely laid out for her. How she fooled him, made him think she was in love with him and then killed him in his own bed. She was going to get away with not only his car, but all of his money and power too. However, she fell in love with him as I fell in love with him. The way he appeared to the both of us slowly changed, he began to show a heart and concern. He wasn’t completely evil he was only trying to do what he thought was best for her and me. Nick Jayzon changed from being the heartless killer to the protector and lover that was impossible to resist. Kayla was the perfect heroine for Nick, she is strong and demanding and unafraid to die for what she believes in. Kayla challenges everyone she meets, especially Nick. Nick wouldn’t be swayed by just any ordinary woman, he needed someone extraordinary, and he needed Kayla.
