Riddled with Liars.

Keirsha

I walked down the ally. living on my own for a while now, but this city was new to me. I saw a burger joint at the end of the ally, and my stomach growled. Guess it was time to eat. I pulled out my wallet, and felt something grab my arm. I smirked and turned around.
"Yes, can i help you?" I asked the guy in the ski mask holding a switchblade. He scowled.
"You can give me your wallet, or i could stab you, your choice." He said with bitterness in every word. I took a deep breath a pulled my arm away from his, well through it but its the same thing isn't it? He gasped. It's been a little while that i've been able to do that, but it sure was helpful. I started walking off and he came at me with the knife, only to fall right through me and hit the ground face first. I took a step to the side and let out a deep breath. I stepped on his hand and he let go of the switch blade.
"Mommy always told me not to play with sharp objects." I said fingering the blade, i gripped it in my hand and held it above his leg. "To bad I never listened to her." I brought it down into his leg. He yelled out and i covered his mouth. I stood slowly smiling at the lowlife. As i walked away i held my locket, opening it and looking at Troy's picture. Tears sprung into my eyes. I wiped them away as i entered the burger joint.

Chaze

I walked down the crowded streets. As I passed a dodgy burger joint, I saw beside it blood and a knife that appeared to have been wrenched out of a wound. What...? I walked inside. My curiosity was too much and, if needed, I could always make them not hurt me.

I saw a girl in there, with long black hair. And suddenly, I felt a jolt- this girl was one of us. Who was us? I wasn't quite sure. But I walked over anyway.

"Um, hello?"

Ria

I frowned. I was hungry. I took a few twenties out of the vault and put on a black jacket, then hit the streets. The first thing I saw was a burger place. It looked... well, dodgy, but I had been there before, and I knew their burgers could not be beat.

I was about to walk in when I heard someone say, "Um, hello?" from the alley beside it. I glanced around the corner and saw a bloody knife. I froze and slammed myself against the wall, going invisible in record time. What if it was some gang that felt betrayed? Or some twisted fan from the criminal world? Or... god.... some mafia boss that didn't think I did their dirty work right, and were going to prove their dislike? I couldn't let that happen.

Because Astria Coon is the best of the best.

No.

One.

Kills.

Me.

Chaze

And suddenly, they were gone. I couldn't see the black haired girl anymore. It was enough for anyone to think they were crazy. I felt really stupid, but I continued to speak because I could still feel the jolting feeling of someone else that had powers too being near me. "I don't want to make you come out, but if you don't, I might have to." I didn't like using my power, but I would if needed. "I don't know if you're the one who stabbed this knife into someone, but if you are, then things can get nasty pretty quick."

Keirsha

I could see someone outside as i bit into my burger. Something was different about him, but i couldn't put my finger on it. I would just have to find out wouldn't I? I swallowed back the last of my burger and hopped up. walking into the washroom. No one was in there. I checked all the stalls just to be safe, no one. I took a deep breath and flung myself through the wall. I did a quick tuck and roll, landing in front of him. I could sense his difference... was he like... me? I saw the bloody switchblade on the ground an smirked, the doofus ran for it. I looked up at him, he was slightly offset by my sudden appearance. I smiled up at him, standing and brushing myself off. He looked between me and it.
"I see your admiring my handy work. That's what happens when people try to stab me." I said leaning back and crossing my arms.
"So you kill them?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I got really defensive, really fast.
"No! I didn't kill him! I just stabbed him!" I grabbed at my locket, it relaxed me a little. I snapped it open and looked at the picture of troy. My heart began to race, this guy looked so much like troy. I heard my breathing getting heavy so i closed it. "Is your name... troy?" I asked hopes high. He looked confused, then shook his head.
"Uh, no sorry."

Ria

I tried not to breathe. Like I had been for the past five minutes. They were starting to talk now... maybe I could get away... I inched, little by little, to the street. The boy's head jerked up. "Stop!" he called. And suddenly, I couldn't move. Eyes wide, I set my jaw. Slowly, feeling came back, and I whipped around. I drew a knife (always keep one on me) and held the edge against his neck, becoming visible.

"Have you ever heard the words Shadow Girl?" I whispered, pushing the blade in.

"N-no."

"Good. Now, if you want to survive, you will not follow me, will not stop me, and most certainly WILL NOT look up the name Astria Coon." I hissed. I pulled the blade away and dashed across the street, invisible again. I reached the penthouse in record time and grabbed a pear. It would have to do for tonight.

Chaze

The girl had become invisible again. Today was bizarre. I had met two people who I was pretty sure had powers just like me, one of them kept going invisible and threatening me, and the other, a girl, thought I was someone... someone called Troy.

Speaking of the girl, she looked kind of confused. "Ok, what was up with that?" she asked. She kept looking at me as if I was someone she hadn't seen in a while.

"I'm really not sure," I said after a moments pause. "I'm Chaze."

Keirsha

"Keirsha." I said holding out my hand. I fought back the tears that fought for dominance in my eyes. You can't cry in front of him you moron! I hissed at myself, mentally. He looked at my hand uneasily. I smirked.
"I don't bite, unless provoked." He went to grab my hand, but his slid right through mine. He looked confused, turning his hand this way and that. He muttered an impressed,
"Wow..." He smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"Yes dumb-nut, your hand really is moving through mine." I twiddled the locket between my fingers. He pulled his hand away, and i felt the numbness disappear, and the cold night air on it once again. He eyed my locket.
"Who's in there?" He asked, i knew he meant the picture.
"What's it to you?" I asked, giving him the quick up/down. He chuckled and held his hand out.
"I won't steal it." He promised. I sighed and took it off snapping it open.
"It's Troy." I sighed, it was a shaky sigh. I missed troy so much.

Chaze

Wow. That was weird. It was like looking into a slightly distorted mirror, he looked so much like me. "Who's Troy? This is twice you've mentioned him," I said after a moments pause.

She sighed. "He... he was someone who meant very much to me." She quickly snapped the locket shut and put it back over her head. "He's gone now." her voice was choked up.

"I'm sorry," I said after a moment. "I... I didn't mean to bring it back up."

"It never leaves my mind in the first place," she muttered.

James

I walked mindlessly along the streets, having nowhere to go. I passed an alleyway near a burger joint where I heard some people talking. A strange feeling came over me as I passed. These people weren't normal.

I decided to go check it out. I peeked around the corner of the alleyway where there was a boy and a girl...but it felt like someone else was there watching me. I shook that feeling off and listened to what they were saying.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to bring it back up." The boy said.

"It never leaves my mind in the first place," I was a little hesitant to walk in there, but my curiosity came over me.

"Hello?" I asked. The boy and girl both looked at me. I really hoped I hadn't just gotten myself into trouble.

Chaze

I quickly turned around. Who...? "What?" I asked.

"I erm was just wondering... I had this weird feeling about you..." I was feeling that he was like it too. This had to be more than a coincidence...

"Another one. Whats your power?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Name first," Kiersha spoke up.

"James," he said after a moments pause. "And you?"

"Kiersha," she said.

"Chaze."

James

This was too weird. They knew about me. They were like me!

"So, now that we all know each other..." I didn't know what to say, what to ask. This was too confusing.

"Are you...you know, different?" Chaze asked.

"Yes." I said. I took a step closer to them. "Are you?"

"Yes." he said. I looked at Kiersha, and she nodded too.

"There was another girl here earlier. She was like us too." Chaze said.

"This is weird. What's going on?" I said. No one answered.

Chaze

I finally spoke. "No idea... but obviously it means something."

There was a silence. "Now what?" Kiersha said.

Nova~

"Hey! We need two colas over here!" Nova swiveled her head over in the two bulking men in the corner. She smiled a bright, perfect smile and grabbed the two glass soda bottles on the counter on the diner, skating over to the two men. She set them down on the table, skidding to a stop.

"Hey Daddy," she smiled, kissing the bigger one on the cheek.

"Hey Buttercup," her father, well, adoptive father, grinned toothily, Nova laughing at the nickname. "How've you been?"

"Good, a lot of buisness, can't you tell?" She smiled sarcastically and motioned to the practically empty diner. Her biker father, Grayson, laughed deeply.

"It's so obvious it hurts," he smirked, "Your cousin's going to be here in a second. Nova groaned. Her cousin, Tatum Mitchum, was probably the most obnoxious person she knew. He was always so... so normal! Nova let out a groan, and the man across from her father, her uncle Mitch.

"Oh, he loves you like you wouldn't believe No," Mitch ruffled her hair right as Tatum himself walked through the door. Nova, putting on a mock happy expression, hugged the much taller boy tightly and grabbed his hand, running out the door while they both yelled a farewell to their fathers.

"Ugh," Nova groaned when they were out of sight, glaring at her cousin. He, of course, returned the glare. "Where are we going today cousin de-"

"Now what?" A voice asked right as Nova and Tatum passed a alley-way. A pain in Nova's chest almost made her drop to the ground. What was this? People like she and Tatum? He noticed it too, for his body had taken on the form of the brick wall beside him at a simply touch. Nova gave him her hand, and he turned back to his original state, eyes wide.

Peering into the alley, Nova couldn't hold back her loud gasp.

Chaze

Another person like us? Woooow. "Hello?" I asked, raising my eyebrow towards them. James, Kiersha, and I all seemed slightly weirded out by all the coincidences.

"Who are you? And why do you... are you like us?" asked the girl.

"Yeah," James said. "I'm James, and this is Kiersha and Chaze." I didn't really like being spoken for but ah well. "And you are?"

"Nova... and this is my cousin, Tatum."
