As John watches the video of him jumping out of a building on fire, Henri pulls up to the drive way. John moves around the other side of table, I guess he wants to face Henri before he goes off again. Five seconds later, Henri is walking in the house, an angry look on his face, "You lied to me."

"I lie to everybody," John says. "I learned that from you."

"We don't lie to each other!" he screams.

"John…This is huge, why the hell would you keep this from Henri?" I asked. He tried to ignore me, "Answer the question John."

He fixed me with a nasty glare, "This doesn't concern you!"

He's got me there, but…"As you can see, I don't care, but if what you guys have been telling me is true, then that means you're in great danger because of what happened at that party. It was stupid of you to keep this to yourself." I spoke calmly with each word, John's jaw tightened, he knows what I'm saying is true.

"I'm not leaving without finding Sarah first." John said, "She's in danger too."

"You guys actually have to leave now, if they didn't know you were in Paradise, they do now." I told him. Henri stood beside me, "He's right, if we leave now, they won't know where we went. John! For earth's survival, we have to go!" Henri pleaded.

John grabs something from the table, "Look! Sarah is in this picture, they'll go after her to get to me! I can't leave her!" John yelled, I stepped forward a bit, "They aren't after her, it's you John, if you love her, than leave." I said and walked towards him some more. John looked pained, "I can't."

"John, if you die, they can easily kill the next. When there is no one left, everyone on the planet might end up dead. Don't you see that?" I asked.

His selfishness is getting the best of him. I was ten feet away from him, "I'm not leaving her here to die." John said and then he lifted his hand up and pushed me towards a wall, a force hits me and I'm sent backwards, I grunted when I hit a when I pushed hard against the wall. "John!" Henri yelled, I looked up, my vision was dazed I looked at the wall John sent me to, and saw cracks. I closed my hand and opened it. I'm alright. I got up. Henri was at the backdoor, staring off into the distance. He looked back at me, "Zero, are you-

I ran past him at full speed. Once I was over the fence I made my way towards the school. Why am I chasing him? In ten minutes I was at the school. I wasn't breathing as hard as I thought I would be. I saw John opening the front doors, he should have been here five minutes ago, what took him so long?

I walked forward and entered the school. And in the hallway with the lights flickering off and on, was John and Sarah, hand in hand. He was staring at me, "Zero…" He says, there was silence all around us, except for the floor polisher, "Was it worth it?" I asked him.

"I always thought maybe you were one of them…Was I right?" He asked me. "You've seen what I can do, you've seen how strong I am, but you've never seen me actually get hurt. John. Never speak to anyone of about this. You hear me?" I asked him. He gulped, I uncovered my left arm and right arm. White scars on both of them, Sarah gasps and covers her mouth but says nothing. John had wide eyes, "But…" He stopped when the lights went out.

I was able to see a lot in the dark, "Move, you got what you came for." I said and covered my arms. John nodded and turned, then he started walking. I can't believe I showed him…

As we walked, the floor polisher grew louder. In front of John was the floor polisher, but it was unattended, what happened to the person who was using it? John rips the cord out of the outlet and then he listens, there's wind blowing in from nowhere, I open my eyes as soon as I hear a door being kicked in. By Sarah's legs something really fast flies past her.

Sarah screams and then John pulls Sarah by the hand and sprint down the hall. John shoulder's the door and rush out into the parking lot. Sarah gasps and then we stop dead in our tracks. Beneath the nearest light we both see it, trench coat swaying in the breeze, hat pulled low so that I can't see its eyes. It lifts his head and grins at us.

I stood firm, John and Sarah back up and trip as they try to turn. They got to the door and then they try to open it, it locked automatically.

"Shit!" John yells.

The Mogadorian in front of me takes a step forward and so do I. My skin isn't as pale as the last time I saw one of these things. I actually look like a human now. Behind me I hear John and Sarah move, "John." Sarah whispered to him. And then a second later I hear a click and they open the door, "Zero!" John yells, I don't move, my eyes locked with this monster in front of me. I could hear another one somewhere to my right.

"Go." I muttered.

I could tell they didn't want to go. "If I have to sacrifice myself, then so be it."

They finally left me, and then a second later, the one I couldn't see, kicked the door as it locks when John slammed it shut. I closed my eyes and imagined the first time I fought someone bigger than me, he was slow and stupid. He threw extremely heavy punches. They were easy to dodge, I opened my eyes and breathed in slowly. I slid my leg back while keeping the other in the same place, and straightened my back, and then I extended my arm, I closed my hand into a fist, he grinned. Kind of like he thought he already won.


I'm going to have one or two more chapters up today.
