Lachlan POV [Re-Written Version]

I don't remember much from last night, must of gotten drunk or something,

I slowly lifted my head from the wooden floorboards, my head aching, my chest wheezing,

God I drunk a lot, I look around the unfamiliar environment, scared that even the smallest movement could trigger something.

I brush my hand against the oak timber, finding a small piece of parchment, I slowly pick it up while examining the room I was in, it was dark. To dark for my liking,

Smashed glass surrounded my limp, weak body, small fragile cuts lay all over my upper arms and chest.

I slowly brought my arm towards my face to see the piece of paper in my aching hand.

You put up a good fight,
Too bad you lost,
You want to know who I am?
You want answers?
Go to [address] or you will die like the rest who stayed alone. We are coming.
Signed,
- D
-------

What did I lose?
What did I fight?
Hell. Where even am I?

I sat there helpless, unable to move more than an inch, the questions didn't stop, they kept coming to my confused brain.

So like I didn't get drunk?
Who was "D"?
God why do I have such bad luck?

Eventually I decided to give up, I mean if they could do this much damage to me, then what am I suppose to do?

I just lied there for what seemed like forever, and ended up closing my eyes, before arms wrapped around my waist and hoisted me up,

God how is this person carrying me I'm like 6"4, but I decided to just lay limp there. I had no interest in walking,

The feeling of wind started around me, it was extremely strong, I decided that I was now outside, when I squinted my eyes open I was getting carried down the sidewalk, and was in fact being hoisted over someone's shoulder.

"What the f*ck?" I said questionably,

"Oh hi your awake, and not dead. That's good." He whispered the last bit but sounded surprised.

"Um if you don't mind me asking, where are we going?"

"I actually don't know, I got like this letter thing to come here and then to go to a second place, so here I am, and that's where we going."

I hesitantly nodded,

"And your name is?"

"Mitchell, but please just call me Mitch."

"Ok 'Mitch' I'm Lachlan."

There was an awkward silence, as he put me down onto the footpath and I quietly walked just behind him, he shoved his hands into his hoodie pockets, I did the same slipping my freezing hands into my jean pockets,

I let my breathing become more steady as I tried to process what was happening right about now, my mind needed a simple explanation, although my mind has always had to accept the impossible,

I mean I can f*cking control electricity for the love of God, I can manipulate and it can't harm me. Which would make sense as I can litterly shoot it out of my bare fingertips.

I only started devolving it when I was 13, everyone thought I was a freak of nature. Which I wouldn't blame them for, I was.

My mum always told me of stories with superheroes, and how everyone always loved them, and praised them. But as soon as I started developing 'powers' I saw the other side of the table,

I thought I could pretend that they didn't exist, that I was just normal, but they followed me everywhere I went,

"-Hey man you ok?"

"-Lachlan?"

"-Lachlan?"

"-Lachlan!"

"Huh?" I blinked me eyes a few times to find small tears dripping down my rosy red cheeks, I breathed out a puff of icy breath as the cold air became sudden and violent,

I looked over to Mitch seeing him, tear stained. I'm guessing we both were thinking about stuff,

"The wind is strong tonight isn't it." I tried to lighten up the mood, Mitch only looked downwards at his feet, I realised I must of said something wrong,

"Oh um sorry." I awkwardly rubbed the back of my neck, as Mitch reached into his pocket and pulled out, a white slip of paper, and looked at the mailboxes, until he stopped and started walking on the driveway,

I followed him hesitantly, looking at the almost cottage like house, we walked up to the door and Mitch knocked on it twice before we heard the turning of the doorknob,

A small tanned boy opened the door, he was wearing a blue hoodie and black pants, he looked at us confused, but slowly opened the door to let us in.

He closed the door behind us, and started walking down the hall,

"I think we just got kidnapped."I said suddenly,

"Shut up and trust me would ya, I came to the first place, I found you, just give him a chance."

I heard a bunch of whispers from the other room, as footsteps approached, I took a step back getting ready to run if needed,

The young boy came back with 2 others, a brown haired boy with a surprisingly big nose and another boy eyes that looked like ember.

I had never seen these boys before, but they looked nice enough, but looks are deceiving. I didn't know them but Mitch apparently did,

"Jerome?.."

"Mitch?.."

I watched as the one with the big nose ran forward the two ran to embrace in the middle with a hug, well looks like Mitch knows him,

"Wait.." I spoke up,

"Why are we here?" I questioned

The boys shrugged and whispered among themselves, I was still confused on what the actual f*ck was going on, but I decided not to question it further.

I was about to ask them what the rest of their names were before there was a huge thump on the door, I spun around quickly.

I grabbed the door handle, it didn't budge, I yanked on it harder, putting all of my body weight on it,

"Um I think it's stuck."

"It's not stuck, I opened it just fine about a minute ago." The black haired boy insisted stepping forward, rushing to the door, he tugged and pulled on the door, it not budging an inch. The ember eyed boy stepped forward,

"Let me try." He insisted,

"Oh so it's not going to work for ethier of us, but it will open for you?" I sassed

"I have my ways." He pushed us out of the way grabbing the door handle and pausing before opening it straight up,

I stared at him intensely, but my focus drifted over to the now open door, there stood a brown haired boy in a light blue hoodie, his eyes were interesting though they where brown but a light blue in the middle of the iris, I blinked again to only find they were now gone,

I shook my head, I now believe I'm crazy. Which wouldn't be far fetched. To be honest.

He stared at us awkwardly, looking down at his feet often, he slowly stepped inside without saying a word, the embedded eyed boy closing it behind him.

"Okay." I stepped away from the door and out into the foyer, which at the moment is the only room I've been in.

"I think we should introduce ourselves, because I don't know any of your names except Mitch's." I announced as the others nodded slowly,

I slowly walked down the long narrow hallway, into a large living space and kitchen, I sat down at one of the couches the other boys following my moments,

We all just kinda sat there, nobody wanted to start,  I just stood up and waved my hand,

"Hi I'm Lachlan, there simple who's next?"

The boys went around one after the other a we learnt each others names, honestly most of us were laughing with or at each other and it was nice that random strangers that I just met 15 minutes ago are actually nice.

"Anyone have an idea on why we are here?"

Everyone shook their heads, while looking down defeated.

"I do." A unfamiliar voice echoed through the hallway, I turned almost like I had seen a ghost, which it very well could be as far as I'm concerned.

I whipped my head back towards the hallway where a young man with curly brown hair stood, taking off his coat.

"um if you don't mind me asking who the f*ck are you?" I looked at him questionably,

"I'm Mat! Hi everyone, I hope you got here safely and unharmed."

"Unharmed? What that suppose to mean?" I questioned,

"Which one are you?"

"Excuse me?" I death stared him, sassing him,

"What element are you Lachlan Power."

"He's a f*cking stalker, we're all doomed." I joked pretending to fall to my knees, smuggle looking at him.

"This isn't a joke Lachlan, we don't have much time."

The smug look disappeared right off my face,

"Wait....what now?"
