Zayn's POV

When Lynn grabbed my hand I tried my best not to hurt her. Like always. I can't hold this for much longer. The build-up is too much and something is telling me Alex is starting to feel it too. The worst part is I'm remembering things. Things I did when I wasn't me. What's even worse than that is that I don't have the heart to tell Alex. I've tried but he doesn't seem to get it.

When the screaming and sounds of stabbing and arrows filled my ear I knew we were there. When I myself felt like I was being stabbed I doubled over and groaned.

"Oh jeez! I'll send a message to Aunt Carol to see where she is. I'll be right back once I find her," Lynn said while Alex tried to help me sit down.

I could hear his flesh burning while he remarked, "Be careful and please hurry."

Lynn scampered out of Aunt Carol's tent into the war. When she opened the tent flap I could see the bodies and blood coving the area. I don't think the war is going to stop this time.

"Alex," I started trying to get the words out, "what do you think is happening? What's up with the glory eye?"

Another surge of power when through me before I said, "Hold that thought. What whether takes the most power to make?"

Alex seemed to think for a moment before he said, "probably a typhoon. Please don't say you're thinking about making one?"

"I'm not thinking about it. I'm doing it," another surge had me almost throw up, "But can't typhoons only happen in certain places?"

"When has magic ever followed the rules?"

I had made up my mind, "I think this could help right now. Don't say you don't feel the build up right now. Your eyes kinda give it away."

"Fine," Alex said grabbing my arm and enduring the burn, "do it."

I grimaced as he helped me up. We went through the tent- flap into the war.

"Do it quick so that nobody sees us."

I gave Alex a 'really' look before saying, "yes because when I start a typhoon nobody will notice us."

He just shrugged his shoulders, "Just do it."

I sighed bracing myself. I raised my right hand hoping I'd actually need it this time. I thought of a typhoon. Strong winds and rain. I could feel some of he power leaving my system and it felt amazing. Just as the wind started whipping and the rain started pouring Alex doubled over in pain.

"Stop!" he shouted trying to get to me, " something's wrong. You're not supposed to do that, I think."

I stopped immediately and rushed over to Alex. Almost exactly at the same time Aunt Carol was running towards me dodging bodies.

"Don't do that!"

The winds were getting super sting and people were getting crushed by the remaining massive trees.

She grabbed both Alex and I and dragged us into her tent away from view of the people who were starting to notice us. Why else would a typhoon suddenly start?

"What's going on," Alex asked still looking in pain.

I still felt the power and now I knew he did too. But why?

Aunt Carol looked surprised as she explained, "You've completed all of the tasks you need to. Now being together you are able to defeat The Killer. That's what your eyes mean. That's why you are feeling the immense amount of power. It's time for you to fulfill your destiny."

I just laughed. Alex joined me and we just laughed hysterically as Aunt Carol looked at us bewildered.

I sucked in a breath trying to subside the pain before saying, "Great joke, but what's really going on?"

Alex and I both looked at Aunt Carol expectantly. Right as Aunt Carol was going to say something a rock flew through the tent flap and hit Alex right in the forehead.

"What the-"

More rocks started to fly through the tent flaps hitting us.

"Alright here's what's going to happen," Aunt Carol whispered to us dodging flying rocks, "Alex you are going to stay on here and stop the typhoon. Zayn you're going to go outside and distract your parents because they obviously know we're here. I am going to stay here and get the big out of Alex after he's done so they can't find where we are going. As for Lynn, Sammy and, Thomas, I told them to hide in one of the older warriors tent. After Alex and I are done here we are going to go there."

I looked at Alex confused and I could tell we were both thinking the same thing.

"Where's Zayn gonna go?"

Before Aunt Carol could answer a bolder flew through the flap narrowly missing me.

"It's doesn't matter. Let's go!" I shouted.

Aunt Carol and Alex stayed in the tent while I crawl out the flap. Sure enough my parents were standing there with an element powered girl.

"Ah," my father started with a sad smile, " my son who never listens!"

I understood what he meant. I didn't get the bugs out in time.

"Wait a second," my mother said sounding worried, "what are his eyes doing other than making him look like an idiot."

An arrow flew past my mother's head and she didn't look to pleased to be interrupted. She looked over to The Killer. I didn't even see him there before. The Killer tilted his hooded head up and everybody froze except us. I was completely shocked before I remembered.

"You were the one that killed Drew!"

My mother gave me a bitter smile before saying, "I feel like we're missing somebody. Maybe the other people that were in that tent with you know who I'm talking about."

With that, before I could even blink, Alex and Aunt Carol were flying out of the tent. I looked over at The Killer and of course it was his handy work. That's when I noticed the typhoon had stopped. What can I say. I had more important things on my mind.

"That's a bit better now isn't it," my mother cooed walking over to Aunt Carol and Alex's frozen bodies, "but that's not everybody. Why don't we unfreeze these two and find out where the rest of the crew is?"

They can't find the others or else we're screwed.

"No," I shouted a bit to desperately, "uh- don't you wanna know what going on with our eyes?"

My mother and father both looked interested. It's too bad I didn't have a story to tell.

"Come." A gravelly voice stated.

The Killer took a step forward making me take a step back.

"I remember you. I think it's time you remember me."

I swallowed before saying, "I don't think that's necessary since you won't need to be remembered soon. Our eyes mean we are ready to defeat you, so that's what we are going to do."

The Killer let out a low chuckle before saying, "I don't think Madelynn will appreciate that very much."

"What do you mean?"

The Killer was suddenly right in front of me and before I could protest his hand were on either sides of my head.

A scene started to appear in front of me. It was as if I was watching a movie. The green grass and the shouting of children playing surrounded me. I could see people training of to the side. My mother and father were leading the train from what I could see. It looked at though it was children ten and up. Now they were walking into the woods away from the playing children.

"Lunch time!" an older looking women shouted from on of the doors of the mansion.

The children began running into the mansion but two children stayed. As they came closer into view I could tell they were Alex and so when we were eight. I could tell because of that awful haircut Alex had. That thing is unforgettable. Anyway we seemed to playing a game. Tag I think.

"Let's keep playing," young Alex shouted running around, "you're still it brother!"

Alex was weaving around the sticks and toys littering the grass.

"Okay," young me said making a break for Alex.

But young me wasn't paying attention to all of the things on the ground and trip on one of the sticks right onto a a big rock. Alex immediately sprinted over to young me. Wow, I guess we really were close before.

"Are you okay?" Young Alex asked.

"Yeah," young me answered, "It's just a cut. I'm going to go inside and get a band-aid to put on it. I don't think I need a healer because I have my powers so it should heal, right?"

"I think so," young Alex said standing up, " I don't have my powers yet remember? But please be fast I wanna keep playing before they come and make up eat lunch."

Young me nodded and began sprinting to the mansion. I opened the door and then seemed to stumbled around a bit.

"Where are band-aid again?" I asked myself wondering in random direction.

I wandered down a long hallway with rooms on either side of the hall. Number were on the doors they were decreasing as I went on; 105, 104, 103, and so on as I went. All of the sudden I heard this talking noise and a faint other noise accompanying it. I looked confused but of course being me I kept walking. I guess I haven't changed completely. 88, 87, 86. I could faintly see the door it was coming from now. The tapping is getting louder the further down and the other sound is still too soft to make out. 73,72, 71. Getting closer to the door at the end. I could hear that it the sounds were coming from there. But the tapping was more like a slight banging now. And he other sound was getting louder now like somebody was singing. But why would somebody be singing? Shouldn't they be training? 56,54,53. I could now notice something new about the door. It was the only door painted red. All of the other door were black. The singing was getting louder and higher pitched and the tapping is most definitely banging now. Younger me stopped looking frightened. He turned back for a second but then kept going. 39,38,37. It's not singing it's screaming. 33,32,31. It's not red paint it's blood. 28,27,26. The banging I so loud it hurting my ears. 17,16,14,13. I can't stop now.

It was like I could hear young me's thoughts. It was like I was him now but at the same time I was watching.

The screaming and banging were like a sadistic song together. I had now idea what was going on. Screaming was normal in my house but not like this. Not so full of terror. Not with banging. 3,2,1. I stopped I was right outsides the door now. The blood was dripping down the front of it. Drip. Drip. Drip. There was now a puddle of red seeping into the carpet below me. Now my shoes were covered in blood. Not only from the puddle but the cut I had long forgotten about. I am certainly now getting a band-aid now.

I feel like I'm him now. Not that what's happening to him is happening to me but that I am him. That makes no sense.

I took a deep breath and slowly stuck me hand out towards the doorknob. I curled my small finger around it and twisted it. I pushed it until I couldn't twist it anymore. I then began to push on the door but it wouldn't budge. The screaming was only getting louder. But then again so was the thumping. So I began to push on the door with all of power I could muster. I at least had to try and stop what was going on in there.

"Come on!" I shouted charging at the door again.

My eyes began to darken and I could tell he could feel the power. I charged once more at the door and it swung open. I screamed the loudest I had ever screamed at the sight. There was a bloody women hanging from the door by her hands and feet. She was screaming as knives were being thrown at her. I began trying to pull an know out of the stomach when I noticed the knives had stopped hitting the door. I slowly turned around.  I kept my head down which caused me to notice that my leg had healed. Which then caused my realize the women wasn't healing. Why? I lifted my head up.

"Hello there little Zayn. I can see you shuddering in fear. I can see your knee is healed meaning you have your powers. Nobody will be coming for you though so don't think about screaming again. It's just nuisance to me. I would take your powers if I wasn't tired. I'm still getting used to this taking people powers thing. So anyway I'm going to hypnotize you now so you can't tell anybody who I am. Figures the one time somebody sees me without my mask on."

"You're The Killer? Why are you hurting people? We are all already evil so why hurt them," I asked backing away and shaking with fear, "did you hypnotize Alex or Lynn? Are they okay?"

The man stepped toward me and said, "hey, I'm not a great father but I'd never hurt her. Maybe. And she doesn't know I'm her father so you can't tell her. Didn't your parents tell you that? After my wife left I went crazy, so apparently, I'm not supposed to around her. Her brothers got taken away too but I don't know what happened. Oh wait, you won't be able to tell her because you'll be hypnotized!"

All of the sudden Lynn father put his hand on either side of my head and said, "you will only remember me as The Killer nothing else. From now on you will be evil. You will still possess you qualities now but your evilness will mask them. You will forget everything prior to this. Except for your family and Lynn. Make sure you protect Lynn no matter what. She cannot know who I am and so can't see her so you have to do not for me. I'm sorry but this has to be done. Now go back to what you were doing and never speak if this again."

Just like that I turned and walked away. I looked lifeless and dead inside. I walked right past the women on the door that was now silenced. I shut the door behind me and just kept walking like nothing had ever happened.

The surroundings started getting foggy. Then everything turned to black and my eyes shot open.

The Killer, or should I say Lynn's crappy father, took a step back. I was furious he would do this not only to me but to her.

"Why," I shouted at him taking a step towards him, "why would you leave Lynn, Drew, and Noah alone with nothing but bracelets to remember you by? They were babies,"

The Killer flicked off his hood revealing his now scarred face.

"I didn't want to. Suzy left me with them. But I started to feel the thirst for power like they said I would. I started to try and kill them to take their powers so they took the kids away. But I guess I got Andrews powers after all. The one things I lost by gaining all these powers are my empathy, sympathy, and all of my feeling really. So I can't say I care that he's dead and that Noah and Madelynn could possibly die."

That only made me madder but I kept my feelings under control and said, "what I don't understand is why you would tell me this. Wouldn't it be more beneficial if you told Alex?"

Lynn's father look intrigued but also wasn't born yesterday, "I don't think so little boy. The only thing standing between me and all good being diminished is you two."

I sighed in defeat, but suddenly I felt a breeze. But there couldn't be breezes when the time is stopped. Unless...

Drew's POV
The Keeper of  Beyond as the odd man called himself agreed to let me help Alex and Zayn with one more thing before I passed on. I was basically watching everybody's lives like reality television so I was caught up on what was happening. Right now is the perfect time to use my last help.

"Send me down now please," I told the man.

He nodded and grabbed my hand. It was like I was traveling through a portal from The Beyond back to Earth. Colors were swirling everywhere but suddenly everything just stopped. I was back on Earth right at the second I had been watching.

"The only thing standing between me and all good being diminished is you two."

Just as my father said that Zayn sighed. That's when I appeared. I could be seen and hear but nobody could touch me that's what The Keeper of Beyond has said. I could also use my powers but only once and  when I finished my duty I was gone forever.

I smiled at my father and I said, " and maybe me."
Zayn looked utterly shocked and I said, "One I'm finished with this I'm gone forever. Tell everybody I say bye for good and that I'll miss them. But make sure they know I found peace."

Zayn still looked super confused but nodded.

"Andrew," my father said in a questioning tone, "I thought you were dead."

"Your right I technically am," I said taking a step towards Alex and Aunt Carol, " But I like to go out with a big bang so that what I'm gonna do. I would expect to see you soon father but I know your not finding peace anytime soon."

With that I channeled all of the power I had left, every ounce, and focused on unfreezing everybody. People slowly started to thaw going back to what they were doing.

"Get him!" My father shouted and sure enough a ton of people came over and started trying to punch, kick, and use their powers on me. But of course nothing was working.

I kept focusing and unfreezing everybody but I was getting tired. So tired. People were still trying you defeat me but that wasn't happening. With one final power surge I saw Alex and Aunt Carol come back to life. They noticed me and both looked shocked.

I just gave them a sad smile and said, "Kill him."

With that I feel to the ground finally at peace.
