Alex's POV

Arrow's started flowing from the sky and I knew it was time. I dodged one flying from the left as I generated a lightning bolt and sent it flying into the growing shrouded in black cloaks. I know those things. They're magical armor that doesn't attract electricity, smart.

Zayn leaned over to me shaking a weird liquid off of his and before saying, "I guess this is it. How do you think we're going to do it? You know kill him."

I ducked back behind the large rock I was hiding behind and answered, "I don't care let's get it done already."

Zayn looked at me completely shocked both of us still dodging flying objects soaring around us. He sent off some balls of hail before saying, "Are you kidding? We are about to kill some eight or maybe nine-year-old kid and all you are going to say is, I don't care!"

When I completely ignored him, he went to grab my arm but I pushed him back with astounding force. "I don't care what happens to anybody. I want this over."

Zayn scrambled to his feet before asking, "What is wrong with you? We're supposed to be fighting them not each other!"

But then I noticed something wrong. "Why did the arrows stop?"

Just then a booming voice made itself heard, "All of you so-called warriors of Carol's so-called army you can either surrender now and come over to our side or you can keep fighting and be slaughtered without a second thought," the voice paused and I hesitantly stood up.

There was blood everywhere. I didn't know whether the blood was from their side or our own but something about this ladies tone made me think it was from our side. But something about that didn't make me sad, or even angry. It made some part of me happy like I wanted to go fight on their side. I stepped out from behind the rock almost in a trance, beginning to walk over to the other side.

"What are you doing," Zayn asked frantically jumping out from behind the rock following in pursuit of me, "you're going to get us killed if they see us we're dead! You know our mother and father won't waste a second in killing us both! We are almost in their sight we have to stop now!"

His words woke me up. What was I doing trying to help them? What happened to me in the first place? Wait a second, Lynn said something a while ago about it being easy to tap into my mind when I was angry, so what if somebody did? "Zayn I think somebody is in my head, " I whispered to Zayn, "I can't stop moving. I'm out of the trance now but I still feel different."

"What if it's The Killer? Did Aunt Carol ever say what his powers are?" Zayn asked trying to pull me back but failing.

"No, but I think there is this legend that he gains the power of everyone he kills."

Just then Zayn stopped trying to pull me back. "Alex I can't stop moving now either."

"So, if it isn't my two disgraces of sons," a loud high pitched voice called out. I looked around searching for my mother. I finally found her standing in between my dad and an ominous creature. That must be the killer. He was easily at least seven feet tall towering over my father's 6'4 height, dressed all in black with a large hood shrouding his face. You could almost feel the power and pure evilness radiating off of him as you got closer.

Everybody was silent just watching. Even the warriors on my parent's side didn't dare make a move. "You both decided to be all good and help your Aunt Carol. I hope that was the right decision for you because, newsflash, we were going to kill you anyway! You both were too powerful alone to take over our thrones, but together you're unstoppable! Too bad you'll never find out how to activate your powers because you'll be dead first!"

Our mother let out a long cackle as we walked ever closer. The slow pace we had didn't help the pure fear we felt, "Why are you doing this?" I asked trying to stop my legs, "what did we ever do?"

My father just laughed and said, "You didn't have to do anything it's what your Aunt did. I bet she didn't tell you that part though."

"What did she do?" Zayn asked nudging my hand with his, 'Join powers' he mouthed, pretending to try and stop his legs. I nodded rubbing his hand.

"There used to be this amazing place where all of the magical beings could go and train together. We all lived in harmony learning how to use our powers under the responsible rule of a king and queen," my father started as we started to generate lightning, "the king and queen were my parents. I trained long and hard to get to be the new king someday. I taught and trained countless amounts of people, and led us in wars against our enemies when necessary. When I married your mother I thought my parents would pass their rule down to me, being older than your Aunt and having found my queen. But as you remember my mother was mortal and my father had powers. That gave me a 50% chance of having powers from our bloodline but I didn't get them from genes. I didn't gain mine from my father like your Aunt did I gained them from a medical procedure on my mother while I was being born. So apparently, because my powers weren't natural like your Aunt's I couldn't have the throne."

At the end of my father story, we were about ten feet from where my parents and The Killer stood. Almost ready to shoot them with lighting my eyes started to darken with the build-up of power. But I couldn't give away what we were about to do so I closed my eyes trying to get my eyes back, but it was too late. "They are pulling something." a deep gravelly voice said.

I opened my eyes and turned to Zayn and yelled, "Now!" We then both summoned a lightning bolt from the sky and instead of just one bolt an entire stormed started to brew. Winds started whipping, rain began pouring and lighting became coming from the sky. This all seemed to phase The Killer and my parents as Zayn and I's legs stopped moving.

"Run!" Zayn shouted as we ran back to our spot.

But behind us, I heard my mother call out, "You just started something you can't finish! Find those boys and don't hesitate to kill anybody that gets in your way!"

All of the warriors from both sides sprang out of their hiding places and began to fight, including all of our friends. But Zayn and I did the exact opposite running behind our rock. "What do we do?" I asked Zayn.

"I don't know," he began curling his fists in his hair, "If we hide, we let everybody we care about possibly die, and if we fight everybody we care about will probably still die because we can't beat The Killer! We are not killing Thomas, it's just not an option, but how else will we survive?"

I just sighed while standing up and saying, "We should fight. If we are going to die today, it might as well be with some dignity left, right?" I said offering out my right hand.

"Right," he said taking it and standing up with me.

We ran out in the war and began fighting. You could see people getting stabbed or otherwise killed with magic everywhere you looked. I zapped some guy unconscious while watching some shapeshifter bit into some kids flesh. I gagged while turning to fight with somebody else. The kid around my aged landed a punch to my stomach before supernaturally springing around me and punching my back. Super speed, awesome. I swept his feet knocking him down momentarily, but he was on his feet in no time sending a left hook to my jaw. He was standing over me about to crush me with his foot before he fell flat in front of me. Theo appeared behind him and said, "The battle plan is falling apart, everyone is everywhere. Quick get up!"

I stumbled to my feet following Theo to a secure hiding spot behind a giant tree. Sammy, Thomas, Lynn, and Zayn were there as well. Sammy began with, "Okay, now that everyone is here we need a pl-"

"Wait! Where is Drew?" I asked searching around us.

"I don't know," Sammy answered panic in her voice, "everyone spread out and look for him. Try not to get in any fights or killed. Thomas, you come with me. Let's go! Move it, people!"

I weaved in and out a mini-battles looking for Drew. I ran past three familiar looking girls before one of them shouted, "It's Alex get him!" I pushed myself to run faster looking for Drew. But apparently one of them had super speed-again!-because they appeared in front of me in no time. That who they are Izzy, Paige, and Lia!

"You guys are the ones who stole Thomas aren't you?" I asked my eyes darkening.

"Yours truly!" Paige bragged flashing a smile.

"Oh, I should kill you all right now!" I shouted lunging at them.

"But you can't," Izzy said running circles around me, "because I will be able to outrun you, Lia can become invisible, and Paige can make it so that your friends won't hear you calling for help!"

"Whatever you say," I commented a plan forming in my head, "how fast do you think you are, exactly?"

"Probably faster than lightning," Izzy answered confidently.

'Wanna test it?" I asked dodging an arrow that was flying at my head.

"Yes!" she answered starting to run.

I then send hail at her making her stop. "What are you doing that isn't lightning!" she yelled.

I then sent a bolt at her knocking her out. "That was. Now I would run before the same thing happens to you," I said turning to Lia and Paige. They nodded and quickly ran away, probably going to report to my parents. But I didn't care I had to find Drew.

I ran father hoping for the best. I then spotted him running towards me looking like he was shouting something. "What?!" I shouted back, stopping in my tracks.

"Behind you!" he shouted.

I turned around and sure enough one of the arrows was flying at me faster than any other had. I was frozen. This is it, I thought, I'm going to die here. I closed my eyes and got ready for the impact. But before the arrow could pierce my skin I hit the ground. Surprised, I jumped to my feet looking around for Drew. Then, I heard a loud groan from the ground. I looked down and saw Drew with an arrow in his stomach, blood pouring from the wound. The arrow started to melt causing Drew to scream, "It's poison! Help me!"

"I-I don't know what to do!" I yelled, "I-Its never burned before!"

"I can't die here. My little brother needs me! Lynn needs me now too. I just found out she's my sister I can go. I'm scared Alex, help me!"

He let out another scream of pain. Then more and more blood began pouring out of the wound. "What's happening! Drew are you okay?"

Drew didn't answer.

"Drew," I called again shaking his limp and pale body, "Drew, answer me!'"

"Tell Lynn I love her. Tell her I hope she has a wonderful life. Tell her to give my brother the letter in my pocket. I don't want him to forget me. Goodbye Alex."

After those words, Drew went silent and motionless. I kept shaking him hoping he would say something, tell me that he wasn't really gone. After everything he had gone through he didn't deserve this. "Please Drew tell me you're okay, tell me you're not dead. You can't be dead!"

I looked around for help and spotted Aunt Carol.

"Help me! He can't die!" I shouted but she just shooked her head and ran. I wanted to do something, but I went back to helping Drew. How could she do such a thing?!

"Alex what is happening!? Where did Aunt Carol go?" Lynn called out running over.

"Drew is-" my voice broke I couldn't bear to tell her.

"No," she cried hugging his body, "No-No no no! He can't be! Drew!" She sobbed while clutching his body.

I pried her off of his body and hugged her. I didn't care that there was a war around us. "It was because of me," I said, "There was an arrow and I didn't see it. He pushed me to save my life. But now he is gone because of me. I did this! This is all my fault! He really was good. That's how he should be remembered, good."

She began to cry harder but in between sobs she whispered, "We need to tell the others."
