Chapter 1: Shey

"Hey! Shey! Wait up!" I stopped. "Where are you going?"

"Home. Why?"

"I need to ask you some questions."

"Why?"

"Questioner for science. Can you come to the arcade?"

"Yeah, I guess. We have a couple of hours until we have to leave."

"Sweet! Follow me." He stepped in front of me and led the way. He's almost a foot higher than me. And I'm five foot five.

I live in a government house. Surveillance tapes and all. The only places without surveillance are the wooded area behind my window, and my bedroom/bathroom/closet. They said no one is dumb enough to climb a 200 foot tree to enter the only window there. Austin is though.

"Austin?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are we?"

"A new arcade just opened up in this part of town." I started getting nervous. "See, here it is." We stopped in front of a decent looking building it looked like fun. "You ready?"

"Yeah." We walked inside.

"Do you want to split a coke?"

I nodded. And he turned and walked to the bar. He came back with a Styrofoam cup. "Where's yours?"

"I drank it already. Here drink." I took the cup from his outstretched hand and took a big gulp. Then another and another, until the cup was empty. I guess I should of suspicious; but it was Austin soo I wasn't really worried he drug me.

His phone rang. It was strangely loud and shrill. "Hello….. Yeah, we're ready." The world tipped as I toppled over. He caught me and lifted me off the ground. A black SUV pulled up to the door. Two men jumped out. One opened the car door. While the other one open the arcade door. Then my body went limp in his arms.

Austin

I called out for her to wait. When I asked if she could come to the arcade and she said she could. I was nervous. I mean we were supposed to leave for my uncle's summer home for two weeks; but we needed here out now before they could change their mind about letting her go.

I led her to the new arcade across town. When we entered I asked if she wanted to split a coke. While she waited I filled the cup with half of a bottle of coke. Then I spiked it. She drank it with out question as to why it wasn't in a bottle. When she had drunk all of it my phone rang. It was Jermaine, my uncle.

"Hello?"

"Are y'all ready?"

"Yeah, we're ready." She toppled over. I caught her and lifted her off the ground. The car pulled up in front. And Mario and Mikey jumped out. Mario opened the car door. While Mikey opened the front arcade door. Her body went limp as I got into the car. Then I asked the Questions. One after the other. "How long will she be out? Does she know what we are? What she is?"

"No. Did you?" when I shook my head he continued. "How old is she?"

"She turns 17 in a month."

"Yo! Jermaine, she ain't gonna be turnnin' on us, is she?" We all look at Mario. "What? Y'all all know you wanna know, too. I just beat ya to it." Mikey shook his head.

"No. she ain't gonna turn all wulf on us now. We don't change until we're seventeen. You know that. Ya friggin moron." Mario went to punch Mickey when Jermaine yelled "all right you two! That's enough! Now calm down. The both of ya."

"Guys shut up! She's waking up." They all looked at me and Jermaine got off at the next exit. We had already traveled through two states. "Shey? Are you ok?" Her eyes flutter open.

Shey

"Did you take me?" He nodded. "Will I be safe?" he nodded again. "They lied. They told my parents I was dead. And they said I'm normal." The car swerved.

"Watch it, Jermaine!" Austin yelled at the driver. "What do you mean? And how do you know?"

"Your not the only on who can climb a few hundred feet. I climbed to the net servers on top of the house. Hacked into the main frame and read my files. The files said my parents were told I died. But my twin brother lived. They said I wasn't normal. And that something unnatural was in my blood. And that if I showed signs of my inherited genes they would kill me; by doing experiments and that if they lost me I had a tracking device."

"What? Where at?"

"My left forearm. I think. The file wasn't very specific. But I fill something there." Jermaine stopped the car in a crowded parking lot.

"Austin, get the kit." Austin reached back behind the seat and pulled out a machine. He held it up to my forearm. It beeped four times. He said "Yep, there's a tracking device there all right."

"We're going to my summer home. Like we are supposed to. You'll call your adoptive parents and tell them you are all right." We all nodded.
