The Battle for Freedom

After Zeke left and April started cussing, I didn't want to get her mad so I decided to stay around. I mean with all the boos gone maybe things won't be so crazy.

"So what were we talking about?" Adam asked as April and Zane left to the kitchen.

"What do you mean Adam(Jason)?" I asked.

"Well for some reason I can't remember. . . so yeah." he smiled.

"Dude you left like. . .a long time ago." Alex replied.

"What are you talking about?" Adam questioned.

"Your phone timer went off and you had to leave, which basically ended our water war." I smirked at the thought of the earlier war.

"Why does every one keep saying I left some where? I've been here the whole time." Adam stated.

"Um bathroom." Kimberlee interrupted as she quickly left the room.

"Something weird going on." I muttered. Alex and Zire nodded there head in agreement.

"I have a feeling were not the only ones who noticed." Alex said as he looked towards the kitchen.

"We might need Zeke." Zire added, as he glanced at me.

I whipped out my phone and text Zeke to come over again, and try to add as much as we knew.

(Sorry I didn't know Zeke wasn't a drinker I'll fix that )

**I'm going to be gone for a couple of days from tomorrow, so could someone keep Jack alive until I get back?**

**Sure Billy. Oh and I'll post in a bit you guys. I really can't post util my computer class

*Same here, Tiger. And I don't have computer's till 6th period. So I ask that you guys try and keep Lulu going when I can't always post*

April

"I can't reach it," Kimberlee said, biting her lip.

"Try," I urged. Then Mikael walked in.

"What's going on?" he asked. "What are you whispering about?"

"Something's going on with Adam. We've got to figure out where he went and what happened," I whispered to him. I was trying to be quiet, Kimberlee was working inside Adam's mind. Suddenly she gasped and started to fall. I grabbed her from behind, steadying her, and she looked at us, shocked.

"What?" Zane asked. Kimberlee shook her head.

"You didn't find anything," Jack replied, trying to mask his dissapointment. Kimberlee took in a breath.

"I got a glimpse, but it looks as if someone wants this memory hidden," she responded.

"What happened. What's the memory about?" Mikael asked.

"I saw a man. He was standing next to Jason saying something about the blood of the transporter before he cut him. The man cut Adam and saved his blood," Kimberlee said, disgusted.

"Oh my God," I replied. "What did he do it for?" Kimberlee shook her head.

"I couldn't find that part."

I bit my lip. What was this man trying to do to Adam. I had a feeling it involved all of us.

Kimberlee

I tried to stand, but I thought it would be better if a sat. So I sat down on a chair, trying to figure out what this man wanted with Adam’s blood.
“Do you think that man was evil or good?” Cappy asked. April laughed.
“If someone’s cut your throat, do you think that man is evil or good?” She said.
Jack grinned. “Well?” he asked.
“Okay, then. Maybe evil, but he could be good?” Cappy said.
I sip some water from my glass and listen to the conversation. “Maybe we could try to find this man?” Lulu said suddenly. “Yeah, like that going to happened,” Jack grinned. “I don’t think this man wait for us at some store or something like that, do you?” he asked.
“Maybe not,” Cappy mumbled.
I still tried to read Adam’s mind, but it was all messed up. “I think this man got powers,” I said, more to myself than the others, but they heard me. “What?” Alex shouted. “Powers? What kind of powers?” I looked irritated at him. “I don’t know, really, maybe he can mess up minds?” I said thoughtful.

April

"Kimberlee's right you guys," I said. "How else would he be able to make Adam forget everything. Besides, his wrist was completely healed, except for a scar. Right Zane?" She nodded.

"Maybe we could find him still," Lulu said. "We still have an advantage. There are more of us, with more powers."

"I don't think that WE will be finding HIM," I said.

"What do you mean," Mikael asked.

"He didn't just take Adam's blood for the fun of it. He took it for a reason and I can't help think it involves all of us. I think he's going to come to us," I replied.

The others looked distrubed and thoughtful. I conjured a drink and downed it.

"You guys this is really starting to freak me out," I whispered. Mikael hugged me and I tryied not to tremble.

"Let's go talk to Adam," Zane said. "Let's see if we can get him to remember."

*Sorry it is Jason I just had a mix up because most of my other storybook charectors are called Adam but it is Jason*

Jason

"Hey um Jason, look we need you to remeber where you were okay" April said and I was just confused.

"stop saying that you guys I've been here the whole fucking time so just piss off" I shouted and turned away from them on the sofa. I suddenly felt happy though and knew it must be Jack.

"fine I'll try even though I've been here the whole time" I said and closed my eyes, I started to think of what I had been doing and fauge thought flashed through my head.

"I'm getting something" Kimberlee said.

"what Kim? what?" Alex said in a loud voice.

"I um see an old man, a big mirror and a..a..a... another man he's young and wears a black coat and has bright red hair, Jason couldn't move he's thinking about how awful it felt and what the old man said, about us being descended from banished beings using the mirror, and and, I know were they are" Kimberlees eyes shooting open as she scribbled an address down on a piece of paper.

"shit I remember" I said opening my eyes.

"well let's go then I'd rather take the fight to them than sit around here" April said, the others nodded and started to go off but I grabbed Aprils hand.

"please don't go, Think about it this guy was powerful, he could stop me from moving and stop my powers as well as make me forget god knows what else he has" I said and April sighed.

"what about the old man" Zane asked.

"I got the feeling he just didn't age as fast as the rest of us" I said thinking back to the rasping old man. April was about to argue when the door opened and the black coat took a step forward out of no were came the commanding voice.

"sit down" It said and we all sat down before we could stop him or do something about it.

"don't make any sounds" said the command voice and a whimper coming from Cappy instantly vanished.

"I am Carlos" He said taking out the same long knife, he smiled looking at us all.

"which one of you is it that can control energy, kinetic I think the humans call it, stuff like that" Carlos said coming up to April and wiping the knife down her cheek.

"tell me" he shouted twisting the blade and a small trail of blood flowed down Aprils cheek.

"me its me" Mikeal said and Carlos smiled and healed the wound with a wave of his hand. Carlos patted me on the cheek as he passed me and went to Mikael and brought out a silver cup like the one I had seeen before and I realised what he was going to do. shit no don't I was trying to say but my mouth wouldn't move.

"after this you can all go home, your real home" Carlos said and cut Mikael wrist bloods streamed out and fell into the cup after a few seconds Carlos healed the wound and started to walk off but his control on us was now gone. every one stood up quickly but The commanding voice rang out and I realised it was from Carlos.

"be very tired" Carlos said and we fell to are knees strugling to stay awake.

"now rest up Me and My master would not want you to be tired for your journey.

"what journet asshole" Lula said.

"you'll see" Carlos said laughing a little before leaving.

Mikael

I was hugging April when a voice rang out, a voice vrimming with power, a voice who's commands i could not deny. A red haired man walked into the room and asked for me. No way was i telling him and i knew the others wouldn't betray me. Then he cut April and i felt anger filling me over boiling over and spilling out in waves of pure rage. I could see Jack looking at me feeling my emotions.
"Me, it's me." Then it was all the blur. The bite of cold metal on my skin. I pulled out as much power as i could before it fell into the bowl hoping to spoil his plan. Then he was gone and all i felt was tired. My hatred and care for April had bled away into that bowl. Then i passed out.

April

I felt the cool metal on my cheek. They could do whatever they wanted to me, but I would never betray Mikael. I felt the knife twist into my skin, but I didn't show any emotion. I wasn't going to show them fear.

"Tell me," he said. I tried to tell Mikael to stay queit but i heard him speak out anyway. I felt my wound close and out of the corner of my eye I saw the man cut Mikael. There was so much blood.

I ran over to him, Zane, Lulu, Cappy, and Jason close behind me. By the time I reached him his wound was also healed and he had passed out. I felt a sickening lethargy pass over me as well.

"Try to fight it," I whispered to the others. Behind my back I conjured a knife behind my back. I threw it at the man, rage making me ruthless. I crumpled beside the others before I saw if it hit him or not.

Kimberlee

I tried to read the man’s mind, but it was like he had blocked it. I couldn’t read it. I started to move slowly toward the others, but I didn’t see that April caught a knife on Carlos. While I still went slowly, the other was already on their way out.
“Who is trying to read my mind?” Carlos said angrily. I stopped trying to get through, and ran after the others.
But before I hit the door, someone grip my arm. “Help me!” I screamed. Jack, April, Lulu and Jason stopped and looked behind. The one who held me lay a hand over my mouth, so I couldn’t scream loud.
Now I tried to read April’s mind. Trying to know what she was going to do.
I was pulled backwards and then I hit the floor. I was gone in five seconds and when I came to myself again I felt something pour down on my left arm. When I looked down, my hole arm was covered in my own blood.
“Please, help me!” I scream, but it wasn’t so loud this time.

Lulu~

Everything was moving so fast. The man came, cut April then Mikael, and what else happened I don't really remember. Next thing I know the alchohol was having drastic drowsy effects and then I was falling. Falling through darkness.

"Lulu! Wake up!" I heard a voice and my eyes shot open. Zeke stood looking down at me, Cappy by his side.

"It's 'bout time," Alex said from somewhere to my right. Zeke helped me to my feet. When did he get back? I tried to remember if he was there before.

"Ugh, what happened?"I asked rubbing the side of my dizzy head.

"I don't remember," Mikael said. He was sitting beside Jason on the floor and standing next to them was Jack and April.

"Same. I can only see bits and pieces," Zane said from the corner of the room next to Zire. The room held an air of eeriness to it as the silence stretched on.

"There was a man, in a coat, and a knife...."I struggled through pictures in my head, the hangover finally catching up to me.

"Yeah, and then a knife. Plus bl-blood." April muttered and raised a hand to her cheek. Mikael stood and touched her cheek for comfort. I looked around.

"Where's Kimberlee?" My voice sounded distant. Everyone turned to me, regret in their eyes.

"We couldn't get to her in time. They, he, whatever it is, took her..."Cappy answered with heavy disappointment

"We need to find him,"Came Jason's voice and he walked to the front door. That wasn't like him, usually he transported everywhere. That right there led me to believe he was more freaked out then normal.

"I agree mayb-" I was making my way over to stand next to Jason when April was suddenly up and by his side in a split second.

"I totally agree. Jason, we need to find this man," She said and patted his shoulder. Well that's a little weird....but cute. She doesn't want me to steal her man, I thought and grinned at her. She looked back at me with a slightly clueless expression. Or maybe not...

April

Lulu grinned at me wildly. I looked back a little confused. Whatever, I thought, maybe it's just the effects of beingout for so long. Anyway we needed to go. Since Kimberlee was gone, I was guessing my knife must not have peirced the man. I didn't really think it would.

"God I could have helped her. What a sick bastard!" I yelled, trying not to cry."Jason, you're the only one who's been to this place before. You have to take us."

He nodded. I sat at one of the chairs and pushed my hair away from my face. I couldn't believe he had taken her. I held my head in my hands. I sighed.

"If we go we can't go unprepared," I said, breaking the silence.

"What do you mean?" Lulu asked.

"I mean we're going to have to be prepared to use our powers. Mine can best come in handy by supplying us with weapons for the moment," I sighed, conjuring a knife. "We each need one just in case. If they come near you, you need to use it."

"We're going to need a plan," Mikael said. Everyone agreed.

*I'm a bit lost. Can someone walk me through what happened?*

We found out where Jason had been (the memory was hidden from him after a weird guy cut him and took his blood, but then healed him afterward) thanks to Kimberlee. That strange man came to April's house and then took Mikael's blood too. Then he made them all really tired and was talking about sending them on a journey, but before he left, he took Kimberlee with him. Now we're trying to think of a plan. (: There you go.
