Hidden Life

Chapter One: Late Night Disappearances

James's P.O.V.

"Hey James," my best friend and practically brother, Logan, asked. "What is it with last night?"

I rubbed my eyes, trying to ignore the question. After about a minute of me ignoring it, Kendall spoke up. "Logan asked you a question. Are you going to answer him?"

"Yeah. Sorry, I was zoned out for a second. I didn't sleep well."

"I'll bet. You weren't here half the night," Carlos piped up with.

Great, they had found out about me sneaking out with my brothers. "I had gotten bored and there was nothing on TV, so I went down to the pool and swam."

"You shouldn't do that. That's dangerous. Plus, Logan was worried, so he woke up Carlos, who woke up Kendall, who woke up Katie, and she woke me up. None of us slept all night," Mrs. Knight told me.

"Sorry. It won't happen again."

Suddenly, my phone went off with Kansas's 'Carry On My Wayward Son', surprising everybody. I rushed into mine and Logan's room and hit 'ACCEPT' on my Samsung Captivate..

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Thing 2!" My older brother Dean yelled, using the nickname I had been given, being the younger twin.

"Hey Dean. We just saw each other last night. What happened? Is Sam hurt?" Sam is the older twin, born fifteen minutes before me.

"Turns out the witch we thought we had ganked wasn't ganked. And it wasn't even a witch. It was a Trickster."

"Like Gabe was, but he turned out to be the Archangel , a.k.a. a sadistic little bastard."

"Who's Gabe? What do you mean by, 'archangel'?" Logan had heard my entire side of the conversation.
