JasonWe arrived back at the tunnels to everyone crowding around something. I couldn't tell what it was. I pushed my way past to get to the center and there she was. Her dark raven hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. She was wearing black combat boots with a pair of black satin pants and a black loose tank top. She had brought Lucas who was also sporting combat boots, although his were brown. He had tan loose pants and a white wifebeater. They had finally arrived. "I am truly sorry for the conditions in which you have been living these past couple of days. I should have done better and prepared better for you all. I will correct that today." Astrid addressed everyone. "If you entered the wrong portal and are wanting to fight please stay here with Lana. I shall create a portal here in the tunnels for you all to go to Mexico. For everyone else Lucas and I will be creating a better place for you to stay, but we will have to move from Spain as we need a larger undetectable area. Ple

Lucas I rushed into the tunnels, hoping maybe she was in there. I didn't figure she went back to Mexico without me. I needed to find her. I wanted, no I needed, to comfort her, to make her forget it all. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and never let go. I knew how much that memory hurts her, it's been a millenia and it still affects her so badly. These tunnels felt like a maze, and with every turn I made I felt like I would never find her. I was growing desperate and panic started to sink in. I took a right turn and saw a door slightly cracked in the distance. I ran towards it hoping maybe she would be in there. "Astrid" I called, as I pushed open the door only to find a girl with sandy blonde hair. She had her back turned to the door and quickly turned when she saw me. Her hazel eyes met mine in confusion. "Nope, not Astrid," she smiled. Her tone was calm even though I had just barged into her room. "I'm sorry" I could feel my cheeks flush with

AstridI awoke feeling as if a heavy weight had finally been relieved from my chest. I felt light and refreshed. I was still in Lucas arms, his light snores feeling the room. I trailed kisses from his bare chest to his chin until he opened his eyes. The smile he gives me always melts my heart."We need to get going" I told him, tapping his chin with my index finger. "I'm ready when you are" His golden hair was quite a mess making him look even more handsome. He ran his fingers through it trying to put it back in place. Every time his hair would cover his face it would remind me he was a twin. They were identical but they were very similar. We both got up and got dressed. We told everyone goodbye and since they wouldn't need to pick people up from the airport anymore I had Whisper come back with us. She needed to be with her husband. I wouldn't separate them again. We stepped through the portal to find everyone ready to go. Libby had kept the place running with Shawn, Micheal and Tr

Micheal I was near Ben's apartment complex. She had warped me in behind a dumpster in an alleyway. I was surprised she didn't warp me into the dumpster. I shook myself off and started walking towards his apartment. I got a few side looks as I exited the alleyway. I realized my face had appeared on the broadcast and I needed to hide my face some. I pulled my shades from my pocket and put them on, letting my hair fall towards my face. I got to his complex and buzzed his apartment. Thankfully he was home and buzzed me in quickly. He lived in a nice part of town. He had a decent amount of money as a computer programer. His apartment was large and clean. It was pretty minimalistic, a few plants in the corner and mainly all white furniture. He greeted me with a smile. "What are you doing here man?" He said. His bald head was reflecting the light so well it was almost blinding. His dark brown eyes were studying me. He was being cautious which had me on edge. He wasn't usually so cautious.

AstridWe all met downstairs. All our eyes on the silver and blue collar on the table. Libby had replicated as best she could. We can't know for sure if it's the same but she did well. The closer I got to the collar the weaker my abilities felt. "Anyone want to wear it?" Shawn joked, trying to ease the tension.We were all thinking. How bold the humans had gotten. How they were able to weaken us. How they were able to get away with putting us all in a camp and degrade us all by having us wear collars. Like we are dogs, their property. Not human beings at all. The anger stuck in my throat, burning hot. " The collar is obviously a problem. They do seem to dampen our abilities the closer we get. I wouldn't say it's enough to cause major problems for us but we aren't sure if we will be able to get them off of everyone. Tracking will have to be kept off until we are able to take the collars off." I started."Can we k
