Zayn's POV

All of the sudden the angry brown-haired girl came running at me. "You took him!" she shouted in a sort of animalistic way.

I gave her a puzzled look before saying, "Took who?"

She took yet another step forward letting out a loud scary sound. Did she just growl? She then clenched her fist and through gritted teeth said, "You know who. Where is he?"

"I didn't take anybody because trust me I wouldn't waste time with kidnapping. If this was my doing they would be dead with you along with them," I insinuated taking another step, "All I know is some dumb note said to come here. Don't ask how I got here because that person is gone now. So if you could please point me in the direction of the so-called others that would be great." I was now directly in front of her staring into her chocolate colored orbs.

She let out another growl of frustration and I could practically see her canines elongating. "Fine," she forced out, "maybe you can help." She then started walking at a brisk pace off into the abyss of this jungle.

"What do you mean help?" I questioned trying to catch up with her.

I heard a slice like sound before she stopped abruptly. She then whipped around to face me and said, "If you don't shut up I am going to tear you limb from limb and string your organ across the trees like birthday streamers." She then flashed me her long and probably fatal claws.

My eyes widened significantly before I squeaked out a, "Shutting up now." We both began to walk again passing many tropical trees and other greenery along the way. The gloomy weather was really bringing down my mood. But there was one thing that was on my mind; Where is Alex? On the back of the note, there was a map saying that he was here. I could hear the rushing of a body of water before the girl stopped short.

"We are here," she mumbled stepping aside revealing two unconscious bodies.

I gasped as I realized who they were. "What happened to them?" I asked shaking their bodies.

"Why do you care," she questioned walking toward me, "Aren't you the evil brother? The one who wished Alex was dead and made him run away in the first place? Or are you not the person that made fun of Alex and Lynn for years condoning others when they hurt them? Or better yet maybe you're not the person that helped his parents complete countless evil deads over and over again."

I looked at her stunned. She was right, why did I care. Maybe they were dead. That's what I wanted, after all, wasn't it? I had said it countless amount of times, so why does it feel wrong now? "No," I said standing up, "you're tricking me so I'll let down my guard, and on my birthday of all days!" I mumbled the last part so she couldn't hear it just in case. I waited for Alex to spring up but he didn't. "Why isn't he waking up?" I asked.

" I already told you," she sighed, "I don't know." She then gasped loudly before running off towards the river yelling out, "I have an idea!"

I followed in pursuit of her careful not to trip on any tree roots. When we got to the river grabbed a fallen coconut from the ground and began to smash it against a large tree.

"What the heck are you doing?" I asked also picking up a coconut from the littered ground.

"Breaking the coconut so that I can fill it with water," she said in a duh tone continuing with action, "you'll see."

I just shrugged my shoulders and started to help. I mean it's not like I had much else to do. With each strike, I could feel the coconut coming closer to breaking. I stuck the tree harder knowing it was only a matter of time before it snapped. The with one finale blow the coconut broke in half slicing into my hand while doing so. I dropped the coconut and groaned while clutching my injured hand.

She jogged over to me alarmed from my sudden reaction. "What happened?" she asked looking around. She then noticed me covering my palm, "Let me see." she demanded gesturing towards my left hand.

I then slowly uncovered my hand and winced as I saw the blood. The blood was like a glove around my hand.

"Okay," she gagged grabbing my other hand, "Let's wash this off." We walked over to the river and knelt down beside it being careful to not fall in. She turned her head to face me before she remarked, "This might sting a little."

"What do you-" I started to say but before I could finish she yanked my hand and smashed it into the bottom of the shallow river. I screeched in agony as she dragged it back and forth on the river bed. She pulled my hand back out of the river and began to examine the cut. "What did you do that for!?" I screamed ripping my hand away from her grasp.

"Well," she commented pulling a large leaf off of a nearby tree, "I had to clean your cut so I could see how deep it was. As for dragging it across the bottom that was a bit of payback, and don't say you don't deserve it because you most certainly do."

"Yeah about as much as you deserve getting your eye bit out by a rattlesnake," I mumbled now trying to pick out a tiny rock from my hand.

"What'd you say?" She asked grabbing my hand once again.

"Nothing, as far as you know," I stated now whining as she wrapped the leaves around my hand tightly.

She wound the leaves around my hand before somehow securing them together. 'By the way," she started grabbing the split coconuts and filling them with water from the red-stained river, "my name is Sammy."

"Sammy," I said testing it out, " how do you know Alex and Lynn?" I picked up a coconut piece and filled it up with water like Sammy was doing.

"I don't really," She remarked beginning to walk back to the place we were before this fiasco, "Now let's go."

I followed behind her with the water-filled coconut in my hand. What are we even doing with these I thought? Whatever it doesn't matter, more importantly, what is an other and why am I supposed to be one of them? Maybe I could ask Alex when he wakes up he might know. I kinda hope they are an elite group of supervillains that would be so cool. But if the were I guess Alex wouldn't know about that. Even I really don't care I'm kinda happy he and Lynn are alive. I've always liked Lynn she was always kinda mischievous. But even though I found him I'm never going to tell mom and dad they'll go crazy looking for him. It might be hard to believe but they want him dead even more than I do! Or maybe they just want to use him for their army, either way, I'm not telling them.

"Hello, Earth to Zayn! Do you copy?" She yelled waving her hand in front of my face.

"Uh, yeah," I answered mock saluting her.

"Whatever," she said rolling her eyes, "Now on three I'm going to dump the water on Lynn, and then you're going to bend down beside her and shock her. Not a hart stopping shock just enough to wake her up and then we'll do the same to Alex. Got it?"

I nodded and got into position. I mean I could probably do this, right? "Just a little shock." I repeated to myself before turning to Sammy and saying, "Let's do this."

She then began the countdown, "Three, two, one!" With that, she dumped the water on Lynn and I grabbed her arm and let out a shock.

Lynn then gasped and sat up, "What happ-woah why is he-why are you-" she started but then Sammy cut her off.

"Just wait we'll explain everything once Alex is awake."

Lynn nodded and we got in position to no wake Alex up. I bent down beside him praying that it would work as well as it did for Lynn.

Sammy started the countdown again, "Three, two, one!"

She poured the icy water on him and I almost simultaneously sent a wave of electricity flowing through his body, but nothing happened. No gasp. No sitting up. Nothing. I sat by his side waiting for a sign but nothing came. We all sat there in silence nobody wanting to say anything, hoping what we thought wasn't true. A traitor tear slipped down my face as I clenched my fists hoping, praying he wasn't gone. His body lay unconscious and limp portraying the part of a real dead person. The tears now freely flowing down my face made me want to scream. I wasn't supposed to happen like this! Not on our birthday! I grabbed his hand in mine again and sent volts upon volts of lightning into his lifeless body. "I'm not losing you!" I screamed trying to bring him back to life. Lynn and Sammy came over and tried to pry me off of him. They finally succeeded and now I was sobbing. They both also had tears streaming down their faces. I got up and started to walk off before I heard a weak voice whisper, "Zayn." I turned around to see Sammy and Lynn helping Alex up. I sprinted to him and said, "I'm so sorry!"

"For what?" he asked weakly

"Everything," I whispered, "I'm sorry for everything.

He then looked at me with this broken expression on his face and said, "Trust isn't fixed so easily."
