Chapter 1
Alpha
'Run. Run. They can't get us if we keep running.' Jumping over fallen trees and ducking around bushes. Two teens ran. Running until the sound of chasing feet were fare behind. Stopping at some boulders the they knew well the let they're tight lungs rest. "I don't know how long we can keep this up bro." Gasped out one holding his heaving chest. "I don't know either bub. But I do know is are Asthma is going to make it harder for us in the cool air." Gasped the other. A twig snapping alerted the two of the men that were chasing them. Stiffening into defensive stances the two went back to back looking around the area they were in. Readying for the men that were coming.
From over the rocks a man jumped down splitting the two up. Growling the two teens were surrounded by men from all sides. While the two were being surrounded the one man that had jumped from the boulder had grabbed one of the two and stuck a needle of some sleeping meds into his neck. As the needle went in the teen was able to let out a roar of pain.
Turning at the roar the other teen saw his brother go limp in the mans arms. Stunned the teen barely felt a needle go into his own neck.

"Tyler!" Yelled a teen jolted up from a nightmares. At the same time a roar was herd from the bed across from him. Tyler thrashed in his sheets trying to untangle himself from them. Getting up the boy went to help his brother out. Grabbing hold of the sheet Tyler started to thrash harder. "Wow Tyler. It's me Collen. Calm down it's just me." Collen said trying not to get scratched by his brothers thrashing claws. Calming down Tyler starts to pull his sheets away from himself.
Once the sheets were off him. Tyler looked up at Collen with a scared and confused look. Seeing the same look mirrored back at him. "Collen what happened? The last thing I remember is going to sleep. Then I had this weird dream of being chased by these men."
"I don't know. Thats all I remember to. And had the same dream as well." Shaking his head Collen looked at his brother. Noticing that the bed that they were on wasn't the same one that was in they're room at home. Glances around the room taking in things he didn't notice before in his rush to help his brother. Like how the bed he was on before was across the room. Instead of in an L shape with his brothers bed like they had it in they're room at home. Looking back to Tyler. "Ty I don't think we're not in Oklahoma anymore." "Ya think." Said Tyler giving his brother an a noid look. Suddenly a knock came from the door. Startled by the sudden noise the teens looked to the door. Nodding Collen got up from Tyler's bed shortly followed by his brother. Moving slowly over to the door the teens snift the air.
Not recognizing the scent of the person on the other side. Collen looked over seeing Tyler giving him a nod. He reached out for the door nob and gave it a twist. Pulling open the door they saw a young boy around they're age on the other side. The boy surprised to see both of the boys answer the door with his hand still raised to knock again. Realizing his hand was still up he put it down and looked at the boys and said. "Oh both of you are up good." Taking a closer look at the boys he notice that they were mirror images of each other. "hay are you two-" "Twins yes we are. Now where are we? How did we get here? And who are you?" Asked Tyler his blood still pumping from the dream. Collen shot a glans to Tyler slightly shaking his head. The boy not noticing the silent conversion between the twins just smiled and introduced himself. "I'm Erick and this place is Tower prep. Too answer to of your question. The third one on how you got here is a little harder to answer." Looking between the two twins Erick just smiled.
Collen and Tyler just looked at each other. Tyler mouthing "Tower Prep." Collen just shrugged and looked back to Erick asking. "Why were you knocking on our door?" A surprised look crossed Erick's face like he'd clearly remembered something. "Oh the Headmaster had asked one of us Monitors to check in on you two. And make sure that you were up in time and ready for class."
At this Tyler was close to loosing his temper. "What do you mean ready for class. We wake up and find out that we're not at home but at a place called Tower prep." Holding back shock and fear Collen put a hand on Tyler's shoulder. Looking up at his brother a line of fear in his eyes. Meeting his brothers eyes Collen nodded knowing that they had to get answers. Moving past the Monitor the twins went into the hallway in they're sleep clothes and bare foot.

Ian woke up at 7 o'clock he did every morning for his run. Getting back from his run heard a roar and a scared shout of someones name. Gabe shot up from grabbing his shoes and looked at Ian. "What on earth was that?" Ian gave Gabe a perplexed and answered. "I don't know but it sounded like it was next door." Walking over to the door Ian opened it and looking outside of it to see other students already in the hall. Looking into the once vacant room across from theres. Seeing Suki and CJ. Ian walked up to them and asked what was happening. Suki looked up at Ian seeing the worried look on his face. "Some new students just got here and are starting to do like you did when you got here," CJ make a shhhing noise. Motioning for them to look at the door to the room. A set of twins stepped out of the room. One of the twins was an inch or so shorter then the other. He was dressed in a pair of red shorts and a white droopy t-shirt and bilte like a runner crossed with a gymnast. The other twin was wearing a pair of white shorts and a black t-shirt with a pic of Spiderman's Carnage on it. He was a bit bigger but the billed was relatively the same. CJ grabbed Ian's arm whispering so that their group could heir her. "They're having trouble seeing. They must need glasses." Gabe looked at her and asked. "How do you know they need glasses? I know you can tell if someone is lieing but telling if they need glasses." CJ didn't get the chance to respond for the twins started to move. Running off down the hall the twins headed to the windows at the end. Watching them the smaller twin started to pull a ahead of his brother. Now moving faster then his twin the other ran to a stop at the window. Unlatching the window he throw it open just before his twin had gotten there.
Seeing that the window was right in line with a tree. Everyone saw the second twin jump out and land at the tree outside like some kind of monkey. They all went slack jawed at the leap.
The first twin looked back at everyone smirking and then made a jump of his own. Everyone ran over to the window seeing the he had landed further down on the tree as well. Climbing up to his twin on a branch above.

Looking back at the window Collen saw all the people that were in the hall were now looking at them in shock. Shaking his head he climbed up to his brother. Looking down at his twin Tyler chuckling. "Having fun be that squirrel again?" Looking at Tyler with a perplexed look on his face for the odd question. "You know it's the best way to get up a tree without low branches." He looked over his shoulder and smirked. "Anyways I think we just made a nice impression on our new classmates." Fallowing Collen's gaze Tyler saw the other kid that where in the hall. They were looking at them and muttering on how they made it to the tree. The two laughed when they saw the monitor calling for backup to get them. Almost falling out and crabbing hold of the tree the twins slowed they're laughter. Trying to hold down his chuckles Tyler gasped out. "Come on lets go find a way home." Collen whipping at his eyes nodded. Looking back one last time the two jumped off the tree to the next leaving the weird school behind.

Still shocked at what they just saw CJ was the first to recover. Grabbing hold of Suki and Gabe pulling them back to reality. Then she grabbed Ian trying to get him to come back to earth. He just pointed out the window still with a stupid look on his face saying. "Did you just see that? I mean is that even possible? What sort of skills do they have?" Getting inpatient CJ popped Ian over the head snapping him out of the stupefied daze. "Now that you rejoined us back down on earth. We need to go after them." Before Ian had a chance to speak Suki stepped forward putting a hand on Ian's mouth. "If you want to catch them? Then we better go get them now before they get to far ahead. Judging by my calculations they'll make it to the center of the woods soon." She finishes taking her hand away from Ian's mouth.
Ian gave a rub to the back of his head where CJ had whacked him. "How do you think we'll be able to fallow them? If you didn't just see they just jumped from the window to a tree outside. And on top of that they're moving through the tree top." Turning back to the window Ian stared at the way the twins went. "Even if do catch them how do we get them to talk to us and not run away?"
Walking up behind him Suki looked down the same way Ian was looking at. "If they keep going the same way they're going now at the same speed. We maybe able to get to the middle of the forest at the same time they do if we here." Turning to her Ian asked. "How?" Suki just smiled and said. "They don't know the forest to well. So-" She cut herself off seeing if the others are getting what shes saying.
Everyone was looking at her waiting for her to finish her sentence. "So" the all said together.
Giving up she finished. "So they'll go slow because they-" She was cut off by CJ saying. "They won't know what branches will hold they're weight." "Thats right." Gabe cleared his throat. "Even with that knowledge how do you think we can catch up with that." He pointed out the window at the twins that were going deeper into the forest.
Slowly loosing her patients CJ glanced over at Suki. "We won't if you two won't get moving now." She said as her and Suki grabbed Ian's and Gabe's arms pulling them after.

Moving through the forest was slow and hard. Not knowing what branches were safe and which weren't. Jumping and swinging from the branches wasn't new to the twins but being in new territory was. They were so used to the woods out behind they're house back home. It was hard not to go back into old routines and plays. A smile crossed Collen's face as he remembered the things he and Tyler did chasing and running after and from they're friends in those woods. Lost in his thoughts Collen didn't look at the branch he was jumping to. A loud snapping sound rang out in the forest. It took Collen five seconds to realize that the branch that he was on had broken. Tyler turned around heiring the loud snapping of a branch. Seeing Collen falling he yelled "COLLEN!" Jumping from the branch he was on. Tyler landed on a branch that was away down the tree that had just lost it's branch just in time to catch his falling twin. Holding on to the branch by the tops of his feet Tyler pulls Collen up so he can grab the tree's branch they were hanging from.
Once Collen was on the thick branch and was seated to where he wouldn't fall he started to laugh. Tyler stared at his brother like he had just lost it. Seeing the lost look on Tyler's face just just made Collen laugh more. "Alright whats so funny. You just had a branch fall out from under you and your laughing. Why have you lost it." Tyler asked his face changing to one of announce. Holding his side Collen gasped out between laughs. "I seem to remember this same thing happening but our rolls reversed."
Tyler thought back to the time they were six and they're rolls had been reversed. They were just figuring out that they have the abilities of animals. They were climbing the tree in the backyard and Tyler had miss placed his foot. It had rained last night and his foot slipped on the wet bark. Collen had slammed himself down on the branch and cot Tyler before he fell out of the tree.
Remembering this brought a smile to Tyler's face and he soon to started laughing. "I guess this makes us even. Huh." At that Collen nodded.

Running as fast as they could while trying to find traces of the twins passing was not easy. For they had to track the tree branches instead of the ground. Ian was staring to think they lost them until he herd aloud snapping sound. Stopping they looked around trying to find were the sound had come from. They didn't have to wait long for a loud yell "COLLEN" had them going in the right direction.
They slowed down they're running when they started to hear laughing. Turning around a tree Ian saw a big but thin branch on the ground. Looking up to see which tree the branch came from instead he found the twins up the tree laughing on a branch. Once the others flowed he round the tree he put out his arm to stop them from moving forward. Putting a finger to his lips Ian pointed up with a finger to the tree the twins were sitting in. Flowing his finger the others look at the tree to see the twins sitting comfortably on a tree branch. Moving back behind the tree the others shifted around until a snapping sound went out. Everyone stiffened at the sound. Ian look around at the others to see who stepped on the stick. The shocked look on Gabe's face told Ian who found the twig. Moving back around the tree to see if the twins and herd them. Glancing up to the branch the twins were on Ian saw it was empty. Turning back to the other Ian said. "They're gone."
Everyone then started to looking around the trees to see if they could find where the twins went. Ian went to lean on the tree they all had hid behind when he couldn't see the twins in the trees sighing. A loud gasp came from one of the others at the same time a low growl was herd above his head.
Slowly Ian moved his head up to see the smaller twin climbing down the bark of the tree head first. Growling he said. "We don't like to be followed or spied on." After he said that a louder growl came from one of the trees. A bigger form jumped out of hiding and dropped a good nine feet from his hiding stop landing in a crouch growling. Ian tried to step away from the tree were he was being advanced upon. Noticing the move the smaller twin on the tree jumped and flipped over Ian landing in front of him. "IAN!" The others yelled out moving forward to him. A roar from the bigger twin stopped them in their tracks. "GUYS!" Ian called out to the others. Another growl from the the smaller twin now in front of him stopped him from moving. "Now I'll ask this once. Who are you guy where are we and how did my brother and I get here?" The smaller twin asked all in one breath. Ian slowly put his hands up to show that he doesn't mean to harm them. "I'm Ian." He pointed at himself. "That Gabe the girl to his left of him is Suki. And the girl beside her is CJ." Ian said pointing to them when he said their names.
The bigger twin made a small growling sound after they learned who these guy are. 'Now on what what about my brothers other question?' Tyler thought to himself. When he finally talked everyone but Collen jumped at the growling undertone. "Now that we know who you guys are. Why not tell us where we are and how we got here." Collen shot a glance at his brother and growled a warning. "Tyler." The bigger twin who's name was Tyler growled. While keeping an eye on the others said. "Don't Tyler me Collen. First we're at home web chatting with are friends. Then we hear that sound and we have that nightmare. To wake up and see we're not at home. I think it the perfect time to be acting like the way I'm acting." Collen growled and turned back to Ian. "He has a point." Ian tried to step forward again saying. "I know wha-..." Ian was cut off by a growl and a shove. But Ian's power kicked in and he dodged Collen's shove by grabbing his hand.
Ian thought that now he got a hold of the boy he can get them to calm down and they all can talk in peace. But what Ian didn't expect was his other hand come flying up to meet his head. Luckily his power saw it coming a split second before it hit. but he in his surprise Ian lost grip with Collen's hand.
Collen growled and said. "You shouldn't have challenged me." Ian didn't have much time to think about Collen's words. When he lunged at him. Collen took a swipe at Ian's head with his like he had claws. Ian had to block, dodge, and duck Collen's hands. Trying to think of a way to stop him with out hurting the boy. And wondering why his preflex power is only giving him just a split seconds time to react.
From the sidelines the Tyler turned to watch the fight that just been started. The others watch too wondering why Tyler didn't jump in to help his brother and scared to move to help Ian out. Suki looked back and forth between Tyler and a Collen. Tyler was tensed as he watched his brother fight the dodging Ian. Thinking she seen something like this before. Then it hit her. It was a lecture in one of Science's classes. "They're animals." Suki muttered to herself at the same time as Collen gave a roar of frustration. "Come on stay and fight like an animal." Suki gasped at what Collen had said. Only proving her theory right. Stepping forward Suki yelled at Ian. "Ian he's like a wild animal." "What?" "He's like a wild animal. Try and pin him to make him submit to you." "Thats easier said then done." Ian said as he barely dodged a punch from Collen. 'Well that be why I'm having a hard time fighting him. He keeps switching from human moves to animal ones.'
Everyone took their eyes off the fighting teens and looked at Suki after she said that even Tyler. Tyler looked straight at her and said. "So you figured it out." CJ stepped closer to Suki and asked. "What do you mean he's like a wild animal? And why hasn't his brother stepped in to help him?" Turning to her Suki started to explain. "Well you see the way Collen is moving. The way he's attacking. It's just like a wild animal would if it found itself in a new place. He's scared and he took Ian's dodge and grab as a challenge. Thats why Tyler hasn't stepped in yet. That challenge was made to Collen not him." At the end of Suki's explanation a small chuckle came out of Tyler's mouth. "So you have figured it out. Yes Collen and I are like animals." It was Gabe's turn to step up. "Thats your ability. Your like some feral animal." Another Chuckle passed through Tyler's lips. "Our Grandma would always call it our feral tendencies. That is why I haven't jumped in yet. The challenge was made to Collen not me. But if one of you tries and enter fears I will stop you." Turning back to the challenge before them Tyler crossed his arms. CJ step up beside Tyler and tried to put a hand on his shoulder. A growl from him forced her to put her back down. "What are you going to do if Ian win this challenge? Challenge him yourself?" She asks trying to not look away from the fight and not at the tall teen. Tyler gave out a small sigh at the question but replied. "No. Collen and I have a deal that if one of us is challenged like Collen was just now. The other wouldn't enter fear and we'd fallow the winner as alpha." With that said everyone turned back to the fight to see Ian dodge another swipe at his head.
Ian was having a hard time with Collen switching back and forth from human to animal and back again. Getting fed up with just dodging all of Collen's attacks. Collen made another swipe for Ian's head. Ian dodged again but this time he intended to counter with a attack himself. But the swipe was faint and Ian felt his arm get grabbed. Smirking Collen pulled and used his swiping hand to grabbed the same shoulder as the arm he had just grabbed. Taking hold of it Collen turned swiftly into Ian and throw him over his shoulder. Collen thought that he was close to winning this thing and he and Tyler can be on they're way to finding a way home. But Collen didn't expect for Ian to grab hold of he in mid throw. Ian used the throws momentum to power through and use against Collen. Ian threw Collen over and pinned him to the ground. Collen gasped in pain as the air was forced out of his lungs.
Collen gasped for air trying to get some back into his lungs. Threw the pain and gasps Collen was still able to turn his head and bare his throat. Showing Ian that he submits. At the sign of Collen's bared throat Tyler ran forward. "Collen. You can get off him now he submits and can't breath." Ian look over at the face of the boy he had just pinned that Tyler was right. Collen couldn't breath and was showing his neck. He was gasping like a fish out of water. Hurrying to get off of the boy Ian wondered when Collen submitted. Tyler knelt down beside his brother propping him up to try and get his breathing to settle. Collen gasped finally able to get air in his lungs.
Once Collen was able to breath regularly he bared his throat to Ian again. The others were beside his side before he could ask why Collen was showing his neck to him again. Suki knelt beside Ian and gave him a hug. Glad to see that Ian was able to end it without getting hurt and not hurting (to badly) Collen.
CJ put a hand on Ian's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "I can't believe you won." Ian shot her a look. "I mean you were having a hard time with him switching back and forth with human and animal moves."
At that Ian gave a chuckle. "The human move I could handle but the animal ones were the hard ones to get around." Looking over to the twin he saw that both of the were showing him they're neck. Confusion crossed Ian's face causing him to ask. "Why are you showing your necks to me? And when did you submit in the fight?" Suki then places a hand on his arm and says. "They acting like a wolf would act if a new Alpha takes command. They're showing you their throats as to say take us as pack or rip out our throats." A look of discuss crossed Ian's face at the ripping the throat out thing.
Getting up Ian bent over too the twins putting out his hands for them to take. Collen looked up at Ian tears showing in his eyes. Taking the offered hand Collen hulled himself up. "I'm sorry." Collen whispered once he was standing on his feet.
Ian put his hand back down to help Tyler up but he just got up without it. Ian looked confused at the apology that Collen had just given him. "No I should be the one apologizing for knocking the wind out of you." He said scratching the back of his neck. Collen just shuck his head. "No I shouldn't have attacked you. I was just scared and I thought you were going to take us back to that place. What ever it is." "Tower Prep" "huh." "The place we came from is called Tower Prep. And it's a school of sorts." A weird look crossed both Collen's and Tyler's faces at the word school. "What you mean to say that that place back there is a school." Tyler blurted out. Everyone just nodded their heads. A cough from Collen brot everyone back to the fact that a fight had just happened and the looser is having trouble breathing.
"Maybe we should take this back to the school. Your not looking so good." Suki said noticing Collen's still heavy breathing. Collen looked at her and said. "I'm a asthmatic." A look of shock crossed their faces. Ian step forward and said. "Then lets get moving before you pass out or something." Taking a arm and putting it over his shoulder for Collen to lean on Ian noticed that they were ruffly the same hight. Making sure Collen was convertible they started to walk back to the school.
