Disclaimer: You all know I don't own any of this. It does, however, own me.

I'm so sorry for the wait. School has been so hectic - I've been revising every night, and I have exams next week, and moderations, and all my coursework was in on Friday, and just, AGHR. It's madness. I am sorry.

Okay, a fairly quick moving chapter. Not that long either. I'll make the next one longer. It'll be the reunion. Fun times.

Thanks for reading this story/reviewing/adding to faves/story alerts...etc,etc. I love you all - you rock.

Claire POV

As I ran out of the door, I felt my confident exterior crumble slightly. I couldn't suppress the feeling that if I messed this up I was dooming them all, and that thought made me worried for their wellbeing, even though I knew nothing major would happen to them.

I could see the black vans now, as they accelerated up the long drive. I slowed my jog to a slow walk, running a hand through my messy hair. The gun felt weird in my jeans, like it did not belong there. Well, to be honest, it didn't. I wasn't a killer - that was Sylar's and my dad's job (both my dads).

My heart was practically beating out of my chest when they screeched to an abrupt halt - I knew the Cullen's would be able to hear the frantic beating of my heart, so I tried taking a few deep breaths so they wouldn't detect my fear. I then decided they would detect it anyway, what with Jasper's ability and Edward's mind-reading, so I stopped trying to contol myself.

As was procedure, they jumped out the vans at the same moment, all armed with guns, and their faces masked so nobody knew their identity. Somebody was shouting orders to them all, but I couldn't hear what he was saying, due to the loud ringing in my ears. It was obvious they had all seen me. I could sense they were planning on circling me, and I knew I had to act before they did so, else I could not escape into the trees just to the right hand side of me.

I frantically looked around me, trying to pick a target. I quickly settled on the man pointing at gun right at me, in front of the others. So quickly I wouldn't have thought it possible, I whipped the gun out, aimed it at the man and pulled the trigger before he pulled his. I closed my eyes, praying to God that it hit him. When I heard several people around me shouting to each other, I knew I had killed him, or possibly just injured him. I took off running without another thought. I felt a few bullets hit me, but naturally they didn't do any good. I didn't stop to see if they were real bullets, or the ones that were drugged. If they were spiked, I wouldn't have long before I passed out. I picked up my pace, running like a maniac, through the woods, twigs snapping under my feet, branches whipping in my face causing cuts that healed almost instantaneously. I could hear people following me, and I hoped the plan was working. Guns were being fired, and the bullets were flying millimetres past my head.

As I ran for my life, I felt my leg so numb, but not from the running. They had drugged the bullets and they were taking effect. I tried to run faster, but my leg was now completely uncooperative. I tripped over a thick branch on the floor, and fell flat on my face. I heard my attackers shouting at me, telling me to stay on the ground. I didn't have to look up to know that I was surrounded. I wanted to stand up and try to fight my way out of it, but I couldn't, for two reasons. The first being that this was the way it was supposed to go - I was meant to be captured so we could save West and everybody else. The second reason being that the drugs were taking their toll quickly, and I was soon drifting off into unconsciousness.

Emmett POV

Why, why, did Alice tell me to go upstairs? Danko was just sat in the attic, breathing in and out. He was fine. Meanwhile, Jasper, Edward and Jake were fighting downstairs - so unfair. Well, you could hardly call it a fight. My family killed them easily. Esme sat out, not wanting to fight, Nessie caused a bit of damage, which made me proud of my favourite niece (yeah, yeah - my only niece), and Alice was just…Alice. Nobody touched her, since she foresaw all their moves. I moaned once again as Nessie jumped on one of their backs, and snapped their neck.

Rosalie huffed at me.

"Emmett! For God's sake, if you want to fight that much, go downstairs! It's pretty obvious nobody is coming up here!" I could tell she was stressed, and bored. She started looking at her nails.

"I will do. Come with me - it's always fun watching you fight," I winked at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Em, my hair will get messed up. I'll stay here, thank you very much."

"Aww, come on Rosie. You know you want to." I leaned in, until my lips were just a millimetre away from hers.

"Nope, staying here." She looked up at me, kissed my lips, then shoved me down the landing, telling me to hurry up.

I ran giddily down the stairs and into the hallway to find my family stood around doing nothing.

Nessie looked up at me and started giggling, no doubt from the look of utter disappointment on my face.

"Sorry, Em. They were just too easy," Jasper said.

I growled at him, before picking one of the bodies up and throwing it sadistically out the open door. He landed with a thud on the grass. Edward looked at me, quirked an eyebrow up and sauntered over to Bella. I sighed, and turned to Alice.

"How's Claire doing?"

Her eyes glazed over for a few seconds, before returning to their usual honey colour.

"I can't see her, so I think she's been drugged and knocked unconscious like West was. Come on, Jazz, we need to go." She ran to her husband, grabbed his outstretched hand and pulled him out the door. They took off in a run, following the scent of the humans who had made it out of here alive. I looked around me at all the weak humans laid on the floor. I pulled a face at my family that resembled a grimace.

"You didn't even save me one. Some family you are…" I muttered.

Bella and Edward shook their heads at me.

"How long do you think they'll be?" Renesmee asked, looking incredibly worried.

"Not long…It depends how far away their base is," Edward answered her.

"Why is it just Alice and Jasper going after them? Wouldn't it make more sense if we all go? Then we can save Claire's friends quicker," I pointed out. Well, it did make more sense than waiting for Alice to call, telling us where they are. They could be incredibly far away, which would just stall us. I wanted to fight somebody now, not in a few days…

"He's got a point," Bella said. I looked at her, and winked quickly so nobody recognised it except Bella. I wanted her to know I was thankful she was taking my side.

"I like the idea! It'll help save Claire and her friends faster!" Renesmee was practically jumping up and down in excitement over seeing Claire that much sooner. She had really bonded with Claire over the last few days - she had such a big heart. I really did love my little Nessie.

Edward sighed, and looked around at all of us.

"Well, it seems my wife and daughter want this. Therefore, I'm in." He shrugged, making him seem nonchalant.

"Me too," Jake said. I knew he'd come as soon as Nessie said she would - he never left her side. Jake and I were pretty damn close. We got each others sense of humour, and we both loved tricking poor Eddie. But our plans were never fully accomplished, since he would read our minds and turn it around on us. I hated it when everyone used their abilities against me. It really sucked. Jasper would always calm me down, or make me depressed, and then whoop my ass. Rose didn't want to mess her hair up. Alice is no fun - ever since she won a few years ago, I'd never lived it down. For some reason, the whole family thought it hilarious that little Alice beat me - Emmett: Mr Muscles. I sometimes hated my family.

I grinned at the fact that we would all be saving strangers. Just like superheroes.

"Emmett, would you like some tights and a leotard?" Edward asked me.

"Shut it, Eddie," I growled at him. His face turned to one of anger when I called him his lovely nickname, but then he laughed and walked out the door, dragging Bells with him. He whipped his phone out and started talking to Carlisle, telling him our plans.

"I'll stay here and wait for Carlisle and Peter. You six go on without me. You'll have more fun," Esme told us. I walked over, kissed her forehead and walked back to Rose and grabbed her hand.

"Come on, Eddie, clock's-a-tickin'. We need to go! Come on! Come on! Come on!" I yelled at him, sounding like a petulant child - he loved that.

"Emmett! Shut the hell up!" he yelled back. I burst out laughing, but my guffaws stopped as Rosalie hit my head - hard.

"Hey! Ouch…" I said, rubbing my head.

She rolled her eyes at me, and Eddie and Bells walked back in (he glared at me as I thought 'Eddie'), announcing they were leaving now.

I pulled a wide grin at Eddie before following him out the door. I heard Nessie and Jake follow after us after they shouted their goodbyes to Esme.

The human scent was still pretty fresh, so all we had to do was follow it. When we crossed civilization, and the scent faded, we sought out Claire's smell, and followed that instead. It made it harder that her blood had been drugged, but she still smelt like candy-floss.

I turned around to grin at Nessie, and she smiled back, except it didn't reach her eyes. I knew she was upset about Claire, but I also knew she was happier now that we were doing something about it. We were going to fight.

This would be fun.

Claire POV

Light.

I could see light pouring into wherever I was, even though my eyelids were closed. I groggily opened them, but they wouldn't move past being slits. I suddenly remembered my purpose here, and my brain kicked it, along with adrenaline. I forced my eyes to open fully, and they stung as the light hit them. I looked around me, to see my dad and…my other dad (Nathan) sitting on some chairs across from the bed where I lay. I took in my surroundings - I was in a grey, dull room, which resembled almost-rusty metal, and there was nothing else in the room, except the two idiots, and me.

I sat up sharply, and their heads snapped up, their eyes widening.

"Claire…" My dad said, standing up slowly.

I looked at him with disgust as I threw my legs over the bed and lithely hopped off.

"Why are you here?" he continued.

"You tell me," I snapped back coldly, crossing my arms.

"Claire," Nathan started, "this isn't the first time you've been here…I can only get you so many free pa--"

I cut him off.

"I swear to God, if you say free passes…Jesus, I don't want a free pass! I am one of the people you two are herding up like animals! I am one of them! So are you!" I yelled at Nathan, looking him up and down. I continued, even though his face did turn into one of shock at the volume of my voice. "You should both be ashamed of yourself. You're as bad as each other…" I looked, then, at my dad. The one person who should protect you no mater one. The one who should always be on your side. Mine wasn't. He was on Danko's side. He was the enemy.

"Claire…You have to understand--" Nathan started.

"No! You don't get to say anything to me. You're a traitor to your own kind," I spat at him. I looked around me dramatically.

"Look around you guys! You're keeping my kind, my friends in a prison! No, a prison isn't this bad. This," I gestured around the room with my hands, "this is like the Holocaust. You're persecuting people, just because we're different. Because we're supposedly dangerous." I scoffed at them both. "I hate you both."

I hardly registered the look of shock and hurt on their faces as I stormed out of the room. There were guards outside, who tensed and cocked their guns, but relaxed when they saw it was me. The freak with the free pass. I started to run down the lengthy corridor, hopelessly looking for something, anything, that would help me in my quest. I wondered where Alice was. Did she follow me? How long had it been? Was she okay? My questions were, however, cut off when a deafening alarm sounded throughout the building. I stopped in my tracks, and several guards ran past me, heading towards another corridor at the end of the one I was currently standing on. I followed them, curious as to what could have sounded the alarm. As I rounded the corner onto the corridor that was swarming with masked agents, I saw a sight that would stay with me forever. Blinding blue and red lights were blasting the agents backwards, so they fell limply just behind me. The agents were firing their guns, but they were doing no good. Their prisoners had escaped, and they were revolting.

I pushed past the agents, making my way to the front of the fight.

"Claire!"

"Claire?"

"CLAIRE?!"

I heard several people shout my name then, but the one that caught my attention the most was the loudest one - West. I saw him, in the clothes he wore earlier, looking at me, his eyes full of worry. But just as I was about to smile at the fact that he was unhurt, a bolt of light flashed by my head, narrowly missing me. West jumped at me, grabbed my arm and tugged me to his side of the battle. He shoved through the crowds of people, a few of whom I recognised, to the back, where neither of us could get hurt.

I let a small smile creep onto my face. As cheesy as it sounded, I felt whole again. I was with my kind - the freak kind, the unique ones, and I felt happier than I had done in a long time. I felt at home.

Aww...

Okay, just to clear this up: the company were coming to the Cullen's for Danko and Renesmee. They thought they were killing two birds with one stone. They went after Claire cause she shot one of them. I hope that makes sense. :)

Sorry for typos/grammar mistakes.

Anyways, review if you want to. They make me happy, as always. Critisicm is welcome, of course.

Thank you, dudes and dudeettes. xD
