Zayn's POV

"So Zayn basically wrote this entire thing?" Sammy asked still trying to wrap her mind around the letter.

"Yeah," Lynn answered laughing, " Can't you tell?"

Their conversation kept going, but I wasn't listening. I had this feeling like something was going to happen. But I guess it doesn't matter right now we have to send this letter. Those are the apparent orders from my so-called aunt. "Okay now that everyone had had a chance to inspect the letter and tweak it to their liking, can we get this over with?" I randomly asked silencing everybody.

Alex took a step toward Drew seeming to try and ready himself, "I guess now is as good a time as ever," he concluded looking at Drew and then turning to me, "But don't you want to look at the letter again? You know we changed it quite a bit while you were busy staring off into the abyss."

I was about to object before Lynn said, "Yeah, like a lot a lot."

"It's fine," I said starting to get frustrated, "I don't care what it says as long as it gets the point across. As long as it says we're ready to fight and we're going to win. I don't care let's just send it so we can get this over with."

We all gathered around Drew waiting for I'm to send the letters. "Wait," Theo interrupted suddenly.

"What now? Are you going to ask us to recite the pledge of allegiance? Let's just please get this over with!" I exclaimed ripping my fingers through my very tangled mat of hair.

Theo's eyes started theirs shift to orange before he said through gritted teeth, "Let me speak or I will give you burns so bad you will question if you have ever felt real pain before, understand."

"What happens if I don't understand, and I 'accidentally send 3000 volts of electricity through your body," I sarcastically asked my eyes visibly darkening showing him I wasn't putting up with him bossing me around, "What if it suddenly becomes so cold that you freeze to dea-"

" I have had enough of you two fighting! I know you both want to be the alpha male, but you two need to calm down and hear each other out! So Zayn why don't you shut up and listen, and Theodore so help me god if you threaten him again- well now I'm threatening you, ugh!"

We both looked at each other and then Sammy very shocked. I wasn't about to make her angry so I stayed quiet.

"So," Theo started hesitantly, "What happens if none of this work? Alex and Zayn's parents don't get the message, and they don't find where we are?"

"Well about that," Drew interjected, " They know exactly where we are they are just waiting for the right time to strike and kill us all."

Of course without fail that is the moment Thomas decides to walk up behind us. "Kill us," he asked surprised, "Mom was mean but she never came close to killing me!" Thomas began sobbing uncontrollably and ran into the woods.

I had never really felt bad for this kid but I did not. Partially because I felt the same way. We could die in whatever this war is going to be. I'm not ready to die. I looked at everybody's shocked faces and said, " I'll take care of him. Just figure out the kinks, go over the letter one more time and send it. Come and get me if anything bad happens."

"Sounds good," Alex remarked sounding surprised before I took off into the woods.

I ran passed the immense trees and passed a ton of wildlife. Everything started to blur as I ran. The trees, the sounds, my thoughts. Just as I was about to admit defeat I hear the sound of somebody crying and I immediately knew it was Thomas. I turned the corner and found him with his back against a tall tree, his head in his hands.

"Sammy?" he asked removing his head from his hands.

"Not quite," I said walking over to him and taking a seat next to him.

"Why?" he asked staring out in front of him.

"Why what?" I asked for once completely speechless and clueless.

"Why is this happening? Why are we even here? I don't want to back to mommy but at least she wouldn't kill me! I would rather have no super strength and be alive than have it and be dead. I'm only nine, I think. See, that's it! Being like this has made me miss everything! I've never had to hate school because I've never gone. I've never had a fight with a friend because I've never had one. And now I don't even know if I'm eight or nine because I don't know if its been my birthday or not out here! Now, on top of everything I'm going to get killed because of my powers at nine, or eight!"

Something about what he had said lit a spark inside of me because he was right. I had missed everything too. "You're right," I said standing up, " I wasted half of my childhood being someone I wasn't. I missed everything because I was training to be evil like my parents when I wasn't. Do you know how hard it was to hear that? Hearing that you have been the wrong person all your life, that everything you've learned is wrong. I just wanted everything to be over once I heard that. I wanted to give up, but I didn't. I'm here and I'm fighting for what's right. I'm fighting for myself, for my brother, for you, and for everybody like us. We are not going to give up now, not when we are so close to winning! We need to dig in and give it our all. We need to win this war and get our lives back. We need to make up for everything we have missed. So come on let's do this. Let's win this war."

Thomas stood up along with me and said, "But what if we don't win and we die? You know they have a whole army right?"

It was at that moment I realized he was right. They are going to kill us. We are going to die and there is nothing we can do about it. I sighed out loud. I was just about to try and be positive before I heard this kind of buzzing. I tried to focus on what it was. I was starting to sound more and more like a voice. Like a girls voice. Lynn!

"Come back, now! There's something you need to see."

Whatever Lynn needed it sounded very important. Urgent almost. "Thomas we need to get back," I demanded trying not to sound worried and sounding really malicious instead.

"No," Thomas stated staying right where he was.

"Okay," I said tapping into my evil side, "But if Sammy's dead by the time we get back you'll know why."

It was absolutely cruel but it got him moving. Within seconds we were sprinting passed the landmarks we had memorized. We were just about back when I heard voices. But It wasn't just the voices of the others it was a ton of voices. Like thousands of voices, I'd never heard before.

"What's-hh- happening?'" Thomas panted running faster to keep up with my pace.

" I-don't know," I answered still running faster.

We ran past the last landmark and I almost dropped dead at the scene before me. "Who are- what is- What?!" I yelled doing a 360. There must have been at least ten thousand people stretching for miles all around us. Enclosing the seven of us in the center of the circle.

"Asked her," said Lynn point toward, my aunt?!

"Hello Zayn I'm sure to have plenty of questions, but let's cut to the chase. All of these people are like us. The all have powers and have lost everything due to your parents. So we are here for when they come. We have been all around the world recruiting members from all over. Now instead of their entire army of over fifteen thousand against you seven, we have evened the odds a bit," my aunt said offering me a smile.

"Wait," I said stepping towards her, " do you realize that we are still outnumbered by like five thousand!"

"Yes," she answered plainly looking around at the warriors who were now using magic of all sorts and build shelters and weapons around them.

"Then we are going to lose," I exclaimed looking around at the overwhelming people around me, " We are all going to die!"

"No, we are not, we have you and Alex."

"What do you mean we have us? " I asked so frustrated, scared and confused.

"Have you're parents told you nothing?" she asked looking at Alex who was now standing beside me.

"What do you mean he asked? You didn't tell us this much. Only that you had an army here to help us."

"You guys," she said addressing Lynn, Theo, Sammy, Thomas, and Drew, "You guys go make yourselves useful with preparation, and training, we will find you when we need you."

They all nodded and ran off into the sea of people of all different, ages, shapes, races, and sizes.

Our aunt led us away from the group and into the woods. When she was satisfied at how far away we were she began her explanation. "You two are twins and have the same powers your parents have told you. But what your parents didn't tell you is that twins never have the same powers. Despite being born on the same day they are totally different people, thus they have totally different powers. But for you two it was different. You ended up being identical twins with identical powers."

"Why does that even matter?" Alex asked just as confused as I was.

"Oh, it matters," my aunt said now pacing back and forth, "You guys are the ones who can defeat your parents."

"Why are we the only ones?" I asked not understanding anything this woman was saying.

"Because they have The Killer on their side," she stated matter a factly.

"Who is the killer and why do you need us to, well, kill him?" Alex asked now pacing as well.

"Nobody really knows who The Killer is. All we know is his powers were to basically take others powers. Once he kills the person he automaticly inherits their powers. Now he is trying to steal both of your powers because he thinks you will kill him because you were created too. In order to be able to kill him, you had to go through difficult tasks, many of which you have completed. The first one was to discover your powers. The second was to realize that you are good. The third one was to find the others that are supposed to help you when the time comes. But the final step you have not completed, yet"

"What is it?" I asked eagerly.

"I'd rather not say," she started making me angry.

"I have the right to know my future!" I yelled my eyes darkening.

"You won't want to hear it," she concluded starting to walk away.

"Yes, we do!" Alex shouted his eyes also darkening as the sun started to burn intensely hot to signal our angry.

"Okay," she exclaimed visibly sweating, " You will have to make a sacrifice!"

"What kind of sacrifice?" I asked still making the sun burn hotter and hotter.

"You will have to sacrifice the second other you found, she said turning around, "I have to go supervise the troops. Don't do anything you'll regret."

The sun stopped burning bright as we looked at each other in shock. "Drew," Alex muttered just loud enough for me to hear.

"No, Drew wasn't an original other remember," I commented thinking hard, " Who is it then?"

Alex thought hard before he turned as pale as a ghost.

"Who is it?" I asked hopefully.

"He gave me a grim look before saying the second other we official talked to first was Thomas."

My entire world came crashing down as I thought about having to kill that poor innocent kid.

"No," I stated, " I promised him he wouldn't die and he isn't going too. Especially for some stupid prophecy!"

"What choice do we have," Alex yelled, " Either he dies or the rest of humanity does!"

He's right. Thomas has to die. "How are we going to do it then? Nobody can know when we are going to do or they'll stop us."

"I'll figure it out, and tell you later. But for now go back and pretend we got into a fight, It's believable and will give me time to think, okay?"

I mumbled a sure before walking away. This is what my life has come to. Killing innocent children to save the world from my evil parents. I told him I would keep him safe, that he wasn't going to die. Now I'm going to kill him. Not only am I going to kill him I'm going to murder him without anyone knowing. When Sammy finds out she's going to be devastated, but I have no choice! If I don't kill him everybody else on the entire Earth dies. I slid my back down a tree and started to cry. Like full on sobbing. I had never felt like this before. Why is this so hard for me? I was evil before why can't I be now? Why is this so hard? But right as I came to a conclusion a blood-curdling shriek yanked me out of my thoughts. I started sprinting back to camp preparing for the worst.
