Ok well i got stuck with my old version of this so i fully revamped it
I got caught up in the new series of HEROES so i decided to place this new version within it
Hope it works out

DISCLAIMER: as ever i dont own any Heroes that aren't of my own creation, the season three storyline and i make no profit off adding my own little character/s

Chapter One
Last Namr Adair

"Linear" I answered "Boring" was added after a short pause.

My counsellor sat across from me, the small sound of pen scribbling on paper told me more notes for my file where being taken. He paused in his writing to look up at me, his blue eyes setting a stare directly.

"How do you think you got to this point in you life Cassandra?" he asked, instantly looking back to his pad, hand poised to take more notes. Sometimes he made me feel like banging me head against the wall, we had been over this story a hundred times and every time no one believed me.

Ill give you a little explanation, tell you of my past while I'm telling him. I'm in a stage in my life where at twenty years of age I don't know what to do with it. I have no direction, I don't strive for anything and I don't want anything. Tell a lie. I want to be left alone.

Why?

Because I shouldn't be here is why. I was meant to go with her, sisters are supposed to be together always, not separated. I was meant to die too.

Four years ago

We where teen runaways, my sister Cameron and I. Home was no longer a place we had after our father and evil step-bitch decided they wanted a party lifestyle more than a family one. "Think we could ever go back?" I asked Cam

"We have the option but do you really want to Cassie?" Cam turned left into the doorway of some random café and held the door open for me. Inside a girl in a green apron bobbed her auburn head towards a booth on the right-hand side at the back, in acknowledgement Cam took hold of my hand and pulled me too it. "Seriously baby sister" she continued "I can take much better care of you, I get you food, clothing and a place to stay while the parents just walk around without a care in the world."

There was a small crash from the kitchen across from us but I went on "I know Cam but…. I dunno what if we get into trouble, run out of money?" I questioned. I didn't really want to go back but Cam only thinks short term, ya know? "And school Cam, I'm sixteen and you've just only turned nineteen, mom wouldn't want us here, doing this"

"Mom wouldn't have wanted us living with them in that state" she mumbled in reply as the waitress from before came over, wiping some sort of food substance off her face. Cam let out her award winning smile.

"Hi, my name is Charlie and ill be your waitress, though just new on the job so go a little easy on me" she joked, so she was the one behind the noise.

"Hey, i'd like two pancake stacks please" Cam ordered "One coffee and do you do Orange?"

"Sure thing" Charlie answered, noting the order down "Kept it simple for me so it will be out right away" she smiled and turned towards the kitchen.

Cam shrugged off her heavy jacket and reached into her bag, "Damn" she mumbled rummaging around, pulling out her purse and looking through it "Rents due too"

I knew it. I was right. The money would run out and we would have to do it again. I shook my head as Cam straightened up to face me. "We have enough to last us for small things but we cant pay the rent Cass"

"Im not doing it again Cameron, I almost got caught last time"

"You didn't though, which I'm still amazed at, the cops had you cornered." she made a face "I still don't know how they found us, I was driving fast as hell"

"Because cars are alarmed stupid" I knocked my fist against my head "When we steal one it makes a noise and the cops follow it"

"Don't be smart Cassie" Cam finished as moments later Charlie came out carrying the drinks then returned again with the pancakes.

"We will wait for nightfall" Cam said, her mouth full, she never took notice to our moms pleading for her to stop doing that. "Then we'll do it"

I was silent by reluctance, I had a bad feeling about tonight, I did every time we stole a car to make rent so I just told myself it was the norm "Fine" I agreed "Tonight"

"Get in Cass before they hear the engine" Cam whispered from inside the recently hotwired car. I nodded, taking my stare off the silent house to run around and jump in the passenger seat. Cam backed out of the garage slowly, neither of us noticed the blinking light on the outside of the house, signalling the removal of the car from within.

"Get to the shop fast Cam" I mumbled "Something's not right" I said soon after, noticing we where only five minuets down the route to Forks BodyShop

"I don't want to draw attention, we get stopped we get caught, neither of us have a drivers licence or papers for the car" I was silent again, telling myself the weird feeling in my stomach was only nerves. "Crap"

"What?"

"Look behind us" I turned my head to face the back window of the car to see the unwanted flashing lights of a Police car behind us, "It only one" I told Cam, "Detour and loose it"

"Its not just one" my sister motioned her own head left and I followed suit to see another cop car attempting to ghost us. "Something tells me there will be more. I hate silent alarms" Cam put more pressure on the accelerator, keeping cool. "They probably want us to lead them to the shop" she babbled making a tight right turn, which the police followed with ease.

"Cam your gonna have to go faster!" I yelled, though we where already pushing 70. Thank God it was an empty road.

"Shut up Cass!" she yelled back.

Now I know it doesn't seem like a high speed chase and it really wasn't but common sense tells you that going 70 mile per hour dulls the drivers senses, which is why the no longer empty road and the collision with the truck that hit us side on gave us no chance of swearing and surviving. But somehow I did.

At the exact moment of impact a saw some blue light, not a police light and not some 'come join us in heaven' light, more like a shimmer that surrounded my entire body. I was flung around the car as expected, getting tangled in my seatbelt but didn't get hurt, sure I got some bumps and bruises as my mother used to say but nothing more. After the car settled I remember just laying there, surrounded in this blue shimmer fully alive while my sister…………. Well, she looked like a rag doll thrown to the ground, only rag dolls don't bleed, they don't die. Like I should have.

The present

"Cass you know no…..shield saved you. The impact was made fully on your sister side, Cameron took the brunt of the hit" my counsellor repeated

I ran my hands through my dark hair, making it dishevelled I'm sure "Sure, sure" I mumbled. I never understood why he asked every week if he never believed me.

"Its clear Cass that you are creating some alternative to what actually happened that night. You have made such progress over your feelings towards the death of your sister, until you let go of this….. power you believe you have I can't really help you any further"

I was dismissed, I could tell, he knew I wasn't going to change my story. Melina was right, I should never told him of the guilt I carried by not being able to save my sister with this…power. It does make me sound crazy.

"Right then Miss Adair" he motioned for me to stand, so I did. He placed a hand on my lower back and guided me towards the wooden panelled door "Ill se you soon Cass"

I turned around as I stepped out of the doorway and into the lobby "Sure Mr Bennet, thanks for listening" I added, polite routine.

"Its my job Cassandra" he replied, fixing his horned rimmed glasses "Its my job"
