Earlier that same day

I knew something was wrong. I could feel it. She didn’t have to tell me, I felt it with her all day, that impending sense of doom, that shit was going to hit the fan kind of feeling. I looked at Micheal, who had his earphones on, while listening to some rock music. His shaggy black hair was in his face covering his eyes as always. He was drumming along with his music, munching on his lip piercing. He was wearing a band teacher and ripped skinny jeans with checkered vans. His style had certainly changed over the years. You would think that living half a millenia would make us mature and boring, but we had to constantly keep up with the young adults. We were always around people in their 20s so that we could blend in better.

“Something is wrong” I told him as I pulled an earphone out of his ear. He turned to look at me half mad, half confused.

“What’s your problem man?” He huffed.

“Something is wrong with Astrid.” I stated, further explaining.

“And? So what? She

    Lucas“We need to get to the airport. Pack your irreplaceable bag.” I told them as I went to my room to do the same. I grabbed all of Astrids and my old wedding rings, our photos and old documents. Including all the titles to the different houses and lands we own.We got in our fastest car and headed to the airport, which thankfully wasn’t too far from our house. I had all our passports ready. We got there pretty quick and of course security had increased. I walked up to the counter laughing with Tristan acting like we were going on a vacation. I laughed loudly, acting extremely excited, as we approached the counter. The woman at the counter had dark brown hair and glasses. She smiled at us as we came up to her. Her name tag read Vicky. “Hello there Vicky!” I said. “Good afternoon” She smiled back. “My brother and my friends and I are wanting to go on a spontaneous vacation. Where is the soonest flight heading to Vicky?” I asked, smili

    AstridI am such an idiot! Of course they would cover it up. I should have killed them all. I thought by sparing them that they would spare everyone else. Of course they wouldn’t, I don’t know what I was thinking. How could they kill so many innocent people? This was all my fault. They were after me. I had so many emotions building up in me. Hatred, confusion, depression, but mostly guilt so much guilt. Monica was dead, Ruby was dead, so many of our friends. I had spent these last few years getting to know all these people on Barker street. We were all close to one another, and we looked out for each other. When it came down to it, I was selfish. I only warned Jason. I should have warned everyone. I should have set that stupid radar off and telepathically told everyone to run. I hate this so much! I don’t know what to do. I wanted desperately to turn back time, but the last time I did that things only turned out worse.I let Lucas hold me a while. His sce

    “We are going through that one” I said pointing to the portal straight across from us. “This one should take us straight to Juan Carlos’s cellar.” I placed the portal there during the last specials civil war when we had first met Juan Carlos. He was a healer like us. He was a couple hundred years old. For the longest time he kept his young looking 22 year old face, but as time progressed he slowly started to age. He currently looks to be in his late 40s.Juan Carlos seemed to age a little more every time he died.The problem with healers like him is they don’t always come back to life. Eventually that death is their final death, as if they are in a video game with a set number of lives. A lot of times healers don’t know that they are able to come back to life until they die but not every healer is able to come back, so a lot of them don’t test it. We don’t really know how many more times Juan Carlos can die before he doesn’t come back, but we figure with the rate at which he’s aging tha

  • Breaking The Peace    A Call To Arms

    We left Juan Carlos' house and headed into the forest. We headed deep into the woods to be as secluded as possible. The plan was for Libby to hijack the broadcasting system back in the states to project my message to all tvs and cellphones. I would warn the humans but use a dual voice to instruct the specials. Dual voice was very convenient as Micheal discovered in the past wars. Humans can’t hear below a certain frequency, to them it will sound like a very slight silent hum. Specials are the only ones that will actually be able to hear the message. Humans were never able to discover how we communicated in the old wars, so I had no fear of them being able to intercept the message. “Okay I feel like this is a good enough spot.” I looked at Lucas, not helping the smile that appeared on my face as I looked at his handsome face. “Can you please materialize the camera for Libby to hijack and some lights?” I asked him. He smiled back and held his hands out having the camera materialize in

    Lucas placed his hand on my shoulder giving it a tight squeeze. His touch would always help calm me. I took a deep breath and placed my hand over his, looking up at his beautiful golden eyes. He leaned down and kissed my forehead again. “You did great.” He said comforting my nerves, calming the anger that had bubbled to the surface. A small smile crept on my face at his words.“Thank you.” I squeezed his hand in response. “All right guys. We have about an hour till 8. I need to create a new portal right where we are. I don’t think Juan Carlos would be pleased if I let a bunch of strange specials filter through his house.” I made a mental note to make sure to go back to his house to get rid of the portal there before 8. “Lucas, I need you to materialize whatever Libby needs in order to hack the radars. Tristan please provide whatever electricity they need.” I started barking orders. “Shawn, you and Micheal get together and decide which military bases we should hit first. Which are th

    LIZ P.O.V.I watched in disbelief as a special named Astrid flashed across our television. Her voice sounded odd, I could hear a slight hum in the video that really annoyed me. Focusing my attention on it I realized the hum wasn’t a hum. She was speaking. I had never seen or heard something like this before. If I didn’t focus on the hum I could hear her talking about how she wasn’t to blame for Barker Street. When I focused on the hum I heard her talking about a ‘specials airport’. I had never heard of a specials airport before either. She apologized for uprooting our lives, and told us that we had 15 minutes starting at 8 to get to the airports and either meet her in Mexico to fight or go to Spain to hide out till it was over or help in other ways. I looked towards my parents, who looked at the tv in horror. “What’s a specials airport?” I asked them, and they turned to look at me confused. “Liz, now isn’t the time for your random questions

    LIZ P.O.V.How could they do this? I looked at my phone and it was now 7:50. I knew I needed to get up, I knew I needed to go but how could I? My heart was breaking. I couldn’t understand how they could do this to me. I am their daughter. I was their daughter. I sat there crying for a while, shocked and crushed.“Are you okay?” an older man asked, concern on his face as he took me in. He was wearing a fisherman's hat, gray hair peeking from the sides. Some wrinkles covering his dark blue eyes. I cleared my throat wiping my face with my sleeve. “Yeah.” I replied, grabbing my bag trying to stand. “I am okay.”He reached his hand out to me and I took it, allowing him to help me up. He was very close to my personal space when I stood up, instead of stepping back he stepped closer his mouth near my ear now. He whispered into my ear.“I have super hearing, I heard what happened in there.” He said. “Come with me youngin. I am heading to the specials airport.

    AstridI waited patiently for people to start coming through. Thoughts of doubt plagued my mind. I wasn’t sure how many people would come and fight with us. I needed a good number in order to really make a difference in this war. I was worried they would change their minds once they were here too. I stared at the portal, like an idiot, instead of getting things ready for when people did start to arrive. About a minute later someone came through the portal. It was a bigger man, he had the figure of a bodybuilder. I walked over to him and welcomed him. I tried not to smile too much, just giving him a slight smirk instead. I needed to make sure these people would respect me. I couldn’t be too friendly right off the bat, they would question whether or not I could lead this fight. I had Lucas set up signs to split the people that arrived by their ability. I needed to know what kind of specials I had available. I was hoping we would have a good number, but also a good variety.

    Being with Micheal was so different. Even though this was our first time having sex he knew exactly what I wanted the enitre time. He touched me just right and although I found the edging irritating at first, I was glad he did it. I haven't felt an orgasm that intense in years. Tomorrow we would be heading out on a very dangerous mission. I wished that Lucas and Lana could join us, but I know it would probably hurt more than help. We'd be distractions to one another. A ball of nerves started to build in my stomach as I thought of everything that could go wrong. This was a dangerous mission and none of us knew what exactly was inside that camp. It's obvious that they're hiding something but I haven't a clue what it could be. I just hope that we're able to come out of it unscathed. The device Libby made gave me some peace of mind. I just know that I can't rely solely on it. I need a back up plan in case things go wrong. "Stop worrying." Micheal said, placing his index finger on my f

    MichealI had been scared of going to sleep here lately. I keep thinking that when I wake up it will have all been a dream. It feels like a dream. She's finally mine and I still can't believe it. I woke up beside her again, and her beautiful face resting on my arm. I woke her up knowing she wouldn't want to waste the day. We decided to run simulations today with everyone. It would be Shawn, Libby, Whisper, Astrid, Alfie, myself and Tristan. I didn't want Tristan to come. The way he has been acting with Astrid didn't bode well for me. He was being too cruel. I was excited to work with everyone again but also worried. We hadn't fought with one another in a while and I was worried we would all clash. We are all used to being the dominant one in a fight and here we were about to have to help one another. We all gathered in the simulation area and I couldn't feel the uncertainty radiating from everyone. Astrid came in after me causing a calming air to pass through us all. She breathed co

    I headed outside to start training soldiers. It had been a few days since I trained anyone and I wanted to see how much everyone has improved. I sparred with a few people and was impressed with how much they had grown in ability. Shawn and Micheal had been training them well. I was going to add Alfie to our mission. He was great at fighting physically and with his ability. He had also done really well on our last mission.Once the sun started to set I stopped sparring and headed back to take a shower again. When I entered our place, I saw Micheal sitting down looking at his phone. He was playing with his lip piercing again, something was making him worry. He looked up at me, he seemed a bit sad when he saw me. He sighed, getting up from the couch and coming towards me. "I let you down. Ben hasn't answered me at all. I am actually a bit worried about him." He admitted. "You didn't let me down" I comforted him. "How about we go together and pay him a visit? We'll ask in person. Libby

    AstridI watched Lana leave with Lucas and take a piece of my heart with them. I knew what I was doing was right, but it was killing me. I hadn't flipped the switch yet. I wanted to mourn my relationship for one night before I did. I couldn't believe this was how it ended. We weren't meant to be all this time, but that doesn't mean that we didn't fall madly in love. I know that if we keep our marriage going that it would only continue to hurt us. I knew the moment I saw that string tie around my pinky and connect me to Micheal that I would just keep hurting Lucas and Micheal. I couldn't keep doing that. I had to say goodbye to the wonderful, caring man that I called my husband. My heart was breaking and I let it all out the moment Lucas and Lana stepped out of the front door. I dropped to the floor sobbing, holding my chest in pain. Micheal came out of my room and picked me up. "I am sorry" I told him, not just for having to see me cry over Lucas, but also because he had been right

    I sat there a while, just letting the guilt crash in. I couldn't believe what I had just done. I was the one that initiated it and yet I didn't understand why I did it. It was like something came over me and just wanted Lana right then and there. No second thoughts. I cursed myself for being so stupid. For just letting that odd emotion take me over. I laid back in the bed staring at the ceiling again. I hoped that Astrid could forgive me, but I doubted she would after the fit I threw. I wanted to just beat myself senseless but knew that would do no good. There was a knock on my door then. "Come in," I yelled. It was Lana again. I sat up, my heart started to race again. I had always thought Lana was beautiful, but I thought it more so now. She seemed really down, her eyes wouldn't meet mine as she hung her head. "Lucas" she started "it's her birthday"My heart sank. How could I forget what day it was? I threw a fit and left her the night before and then kissed her best friend on he

    It took everything in me not to go back to Astrid right away. Not to take the words I said back. I know I'm being selfish but she was being selfish too. This can't keep happening. I'm not a jealous man, but it's different with Michael. I don't understand why she can't send him away. Why is she choosing to keep him around and make our problems worse? Lana made room for me in her house with Jason. They looked surprised to see. I let Lana know what was happening, but I didn't wanna share with Jason. I know he's a good kid but I don't know him that well to tell him all my marital problems. Lana seemed to understand and she tried not to pry too much. I liked living with Lana these past few years. She was kind and understanding and very caring. She and I got closer these past 5 years, so it felt easy to just be back with her. Sleep never came to me last night. I had stayed up full of worry, wondering why Astrid still hadn't come to get me. Had she chosen Micheal? The worry only ate at m

    After a few hours my eyes couldn't shed any more tears. I reached out to Lana instead. "Did Lucas make his way to you?" I asked her. "Yeah he's here. He arrived late last night. He's been pretty depressed. What happened?" Her tone was full of concern but also some curiosity. "He asked me to pick between him and Micheal and for some reason my body refused to" I knew I could be honest with Lana. She was the closest thing to a sister to me. I also knew she wouldn't judge me. "I am sorry Astrid" She sounded sad for me. "I am here for you and him. Want me to drive him crazy so he just races home to you?" She joked. "Wouldn't that be nice" I smirked slightly, a pain in my chest resurfacing. "Just keep an eye on him for me please?" "Of course, don't worry. I've got him covered over here. Oh one more piece of news. Liz and Jason have started a little relationship. It's very cute. I'll try to keep Lucas away from it. I am sure he doesn't need a budding romance in front of him while he's

    AstridI opened the door to Micheal's room to find Lucas right against it. He had been picking at his fingers with anxiety. I felt bad for having been in a locked room with Micheal for so long. What was really eating at me was that those visions were my fault in a way. "What happened?" Lucas asked as he got up. I walked him towards our room before answering. Hoping Micheal wouldn't hear me. "He had another vision" before I could finish telling Lucas everything, he had turned around running towards Micheals room. My heart almost raced out of my chest as I ran after him. I knew what was about to happen and I wanted desperately to stop it. I knew Micheal was in no state of mind to fight Lucas or to hear any cruel words. I also knew Lucas was in no state to hear the things that Micheal might share with him. I understood why Lucas was mad but I also understood why Micheal was so sad. I was finding it harder and harder to pick a side and stay with it. I could empathize with both my husba

    I must have fallen asleep as a knock at my door awoke me to a dark room. I got up, and made my way to the door as I rubbed my eyes awake. I cracked my door not really wanting anyone to come in. It was Astrid, she was staring up at me curiously. I looked around and saw that she was alone. She was alone, at my door, at night. Something snapped in me then and I grabbed her wrist and quickly pulled her into my room. Before she could say anything or deny me I pressed my lips against hers. I wanted her desperately and I continued the kiss, parting her lips with my tongue. She didn't pull away, she didn't resist. She placed her hands on the back of my head pushing me into her more. She grabbed fistfuls of my hair as we continued to kiss. She pressed her chest against mine and I lifted one of her legs around my waist as I held onto her thigh. She sucked on my lower lip making me let out a soft moan. Our desires were feeding into each other. I slipped my hand up her shirt, gently squeezing
