1. Prologue

Prologue-

Jaime Reyes, a nerd at Rio Grande High School who has only one friend, was sleeping soundly when his silver phone rang. The boy jerked awake with a surprised gasp and grabbed his phone that was lying beside him. He checked the time than the Caller ID and grunted before pressing the green 'reply' button.

"Tye, it's midnight" Jaime complained before demanding, "What?"

# : I'm done Jaime : #

"Whoa Tye slow down" Jaime said instantly fully awake.

# : No, I'm leaving on the train to Houston : #

"Wait, Tye I'm on my way" Jaime replied getting out of bed and putting on his hoodie before climbing out his window.

# : No promises: #

The call ended and the 16-year-old boy took off running to the train-station. The boy was a mile away when a strong hand grabbed him and another on wrapped around his mouth. The smell of chemicals entered the boys nose and mouth causing his head to become light and his vision to swim. Soon the chemicals won and the boys world went black.

Tye Longshadow, a jock at the same school as Jaime Reyes, was leaning against a wall waiting for his friend to see what he would say this time when a bad feeling came to life. The 17-year-old pushed himself off the wall with a soft growl and began heading to his friends' house. He didn't make it farther than the side of the building when a shadowed arm wrapped around his body and a hand placed itself firmly over the boys' mouth. Tye began to struggle but they got weaker when the smell of chemicals made his brain slowly shut down and his limbs went numb. Soon the boy was asleep and placed in a red and dark brown (or was it black?) container.

Queen Bee turned as Six red and dark brown pods were rolled in, they held Two 14-year-olds, one 15-year-old, one 16-year-old, one 17-year-old and Shimmer; one of Psymons' helpers. She smiled and nodded, the workers who rolled them in rolled them to an emergency transport plane and loaded them up.

After they took to the sky, the 16-year-old stirred and blinked open chocolate brown eyes before looking around in fear.

'Where am I? What's going on? Why am -Tye?'
