Chapter 2

BAM!

The sound shocked Caprice, though Liam took it in his stride. The white light suddenly blazed so brightly that neither of them could see anything. They could hear though. Yelps. Complaining. Words, which should really not be spoken.

'What the Hell?' one male voice roared.

'This is…preposterous! I'm leaving…OUCH! The wall bit me.'

'Is anyone going to explain what is happening?'

Finally Caprice regained her ability to see. As Liam had said there was one person in each circle; a girl in the middle and in each outer circle one guy. One of them was waving his hand angrily. Another made a rude hand gesture at her. The other two were looking around curiously.

'Everyone, quiet!' she commanded.

'No!' said the boy from the fourth circle from the centre.

'If you're quiet, I'll explain. If you're not then my friend has a spell and – '

'Alright,' the man closest to her cut her off. He was incredibly tall with longish brown hair and a little bit of an accent which she couldn't quite place. 'Explain.'

Caprice took a deep breath. Here we go. After a quick glance at Liam for support she began to speak. 'There are…creatures. They threaten to take over the world. They can shape shift to any and in the past fifteen years they have infiltrated some of the most important roles of leadership and are already practically running the world. However, the particular branch of government I run is so secret that thankfully even they do not know it exists and even that is just out of luck. That is why we have gathered you all here. You are the most powerful warriors of all time.' She smiled. 'We have brought you here because only you have the power and strength to destroy these creatures.'

She paused and nodded at Liam, indicating he should continue the explanation.

'There are five of the creatures, each of them in different parts of the world. They have each taken the bodies of some of the most powerful and influential people of today. People who have resources. People who can direct others. They have armies, money, the list of things they can achieve is endless. They will control human kind within five years if we are lucky and no one will notice a thing. The good thing is once we kill those five they'll be gone.'

'How do you know?' the girl in the centre circle asked.

Liam and Caprice glanced at each other. 'I guess we're more hoping,' Caprice amended. 'It makes sense, though. Those five are probably the leaders. They haven't quite got control yet, but if we kill them then…well think of the rest the creature as being the body. The body will have no head, no direction. Hopefully, that'll stop them.'

'I don't think it makes as much sense as you think it does,' said one of the guys. He stared at Caprice, with eyes so black one couldn't even tell when the pupil began and the iris started. 'You're basically just taking a guess.'

'What else are we supposed to do?'

'She's right,' said the man with the accent. 'We should do this. It's the right thing to do.'

Caprice smiled brilliantly at him. 'Thank you, but we need all of your help.'

'I'll do it,' the girl agreed.

'I'm down with it.' The boy who spoke had been silent up until then. He was tan, with sun-bleached hair, a little too long. He had green eyes, as bright as jewels and a friendly smile.

'What does that mean?' said a black-haired, blue-eyed handsome guy.

'It means 'I agree',' said the other guy.

The black-haired guy sighed heavily. 'I suppose I have to, don't I?'

Caprice smiled and turned to the last warrior. 'What about you?'

'I don't care about humanity. Let me the Hell out of here.'

'It's not just humanity. It's everyone. Even you.'

He just looked at her. 'I don't believe you.'

'Do. If you don't you'll end up dead. These creatures are more powerfull than you, than anyone. Only all five of you together can do this. If not…You're lives will be…I couldn't tell you. Just imagine the worst thing that's ever happened to you, the worst you've felt, the most pain.'

'Yeah?' he asked.

'It will be worse.'

He kept watching her a moment longer. 'Fine.'
