Chapter Eighteen: What do you mean you know why someone burned down my house?
"I... holy... I... Holy... I... CRAP!!," I screamed, standing up for the sofa.
"OMG!, no no no", I say pacing back and forth in Jacks living room, as me friends stare at me, "This can't be happening!".
"Ro, Robin, calm down!", Jem say to me as she puts a hand in my shoulder. I turn to face I have tears rolling down my cheeks and I bury my face in her shoulder and sob.
"Hey, Robin, how about we go down there?, ask what happened, how does that sound?", I hear someone ask I think it was Finn.
"That sounds good!", I say moving my head away form Jem and saying sorry, she just nodded and smiled. "Umm will it be ok if I fly ahead I need sometime to think... be alone".
"Are you sure you want to do that?", Jack asks me worriedly.
"Yea I'll be fine!", I say forcing a smile.
"Ok", Jacks says smiling at me.
"Should we walk or....", Finn says questionably.
Jem sighs, "I'll teleport is there come on, everyone else is facing their fears why not me too".
I watch my three friends teleport away as I walk outside and stare up at the Treehouse, and think about yesterday and all the fun we had watching movies and our pillow fight, and I sigh.
"I though things were looking up, I though everything was going alright, why did this happen?, WHY DID SOMEONE BURN DOWN MY HOUSE?!", I scream into the air as tears run down my face.
"Why did someone burn down my house?", I say again this time a whisper.
"I think I know why someone burned down your house", I heard a sheepish voice behind me say. I was startled and turned around to face the voice.
"Max?", I say my face in complete shock, "What do you mean you know why someone burned down my house? and how did you know where I was?".
"Umm, that's a long story but I might also know who did it", he said not looking me in the eye.
"How could you possibly know... don't tell me it was you, was that why you were at my house yesterday? To burn it down?"; I said taking a step closer to Max with every question.
"Whoah Robie, calm down!" Max said placing his hands out in form of him, "it wasn't me... it was someone who works for my father...".
"Your father works at a pharmaceutical company why would someone who works for him burn down my house?", I asked him confused.
" because... because..." he says hesitant to answer.
"Well because what! Maxie?", I ask getting impatient.
"BECAUSE HE'S THE CONTROLLER!", he yells at the top of his lungs.
"What?", I was shocked by what he just told me.
I don't believe you
I think forgetting he could read my mind.
"You don't believe me?", he says with look of sorrow in his eyes. He shakes his head and ran out the gate of Jacks garden.
"Max, I never said that", I yell after him before he could leave.
He stops dead in his tracks and mumbles barely loud enough for me to hear, " You didn't have to", and he carried on walking away.

We were waiting by the scene of Ro's house, waiting for Ro to join us. It had been 30minutes and she hadn't shown up yet.
"She should be here by know!", Jem said worriedly.
"I knew it was bad idea for her to fly, she's an anxious flier anyway," Jack adds just as worried.
"I'm sure it's fine!", I say trying to convince myself more than my friends.
10 mins later Ro finally turns up.
She didn't look to good, her eyes were red and bloodshot, she had definitely been crying for awhile.
"Ro? You alright?", I ask her softly.
"I... yea... I'm fi...", she started pacing as she said this, before she could finish her sentence I cut her off.
"Your not fine Ro!", I tell her.
She sighs and stops pacing to look at me, "I saw Max", she says looking me in the eyes.
"WHAT!", we all yell in unison. Why does this keep happening?
"He was in your garden Jack," she says as she shifts her gaze from me too Jack.
"What happened?", Jem asks Ro.
"He... he... told me that... someone working for the Controller burned down my house... and that ..." she looks down to the ground and then back up to us.
"... the Controllers his father," she said with tears threatening to fall again.
"Oh" says Jack.
"My", say Jem
"GOD", I yell.
"I better go talk to the police about my house", Robins says before we could say anything else.
"Yea we'll come with you Ro!", Jem says as we start to walk off.
I start to walk before I hear something behind me and turn around but see nothing.
"Odd", I whisper to myself.
I see something scurry across the floor in the alley.
"Finn!", I hear Jack shout from behind me.
"I'll be there in a min", I shout back.
"Sure thing", he says as he nods and walks back with the girls.
I walk to the alley to see if I could she what it was scurrying earlier. I lock eyes with a spider and a bee buzzing around it.
Suddenly the bugs start to morph, and turn into something more human like.
I gulp and shake has I look at the two men standing in front of me.
"Hello there Finley Fawkes", the bee man said with a grin, "nice to meet you!", he says before holding his hand out for me to shake.
I step back away from the men, until I'm stopped when I hit into something... or someone...
I turn around to see another man there...
... OMG!
"Mr Morrison?", I say as a shake out of fear.
"Hello Finn the Star Wars character!", he says with a sickening grin. "It's about time I had a little chat with you!".
I tried to run but something was stoping me...
Blocking me form leaving...
Controlling me...
And then the realisation hit me...
I was being controlled...
Which meant...
