Loveroffanfics- Now you're quite right about a renewal in Pete's future. But Cain and Abel can't be Mr. Parker and Catherine's sons as well as Jarod's clones.

phi4858- the Pete reeducation is a definite. Cain and Able are two very different people for a very good reason. In Chapter 5 it talks about how Cain hates his brother because unlike Able, Cain is not a prefect clone. The fact is also mentioned in this chapter again. Later in the story we'll take an even closer look into the boys past.

And thank you for the complements about my writing

LJP- No Erik isn't very nice. In fact he makes Lyle look like the Easter Bunny. And if you think Erik is bad now wait till the next chapter.

Bangor, Maine

Safe House

Adam paced his bedroom floor that was located in the attic of the safe house. He felt useless, unable to help in the search of his cousins. Yes had told Will of Logan's dream/vison but other than that Adam had done nothing but sit in the attic and brood. Ethan had left his son with instructions to help with keeping an eye on the younger children. But the younger children didn't need Adam. All of the adults save Jarod, Morgan, Sam, and Ethan were at the safe house. Not to mention the fact that Jamie and Jeff had arrived early that morning after promising Will and Alley they would come.

"They don't need me here," Adam thought out loud. "I should be helping the others."

"Go," said the voice of a little girl. Adam looked towards the door and saw Kay and Kale watching him.

"How'd you two get up here? Mom would have a snit if she found out you two were here," Adam said picking up his baby brother and sister.

"Why no go?" Kale asked his brother.

"It's not that simple baby brother," Adam said as he carried the twins over to his bed. "Dad told me to stay. He'd skin me alive if I left. Hell I don't even know where to go," Adam told the baby.

"Know where," Kay said proudly.

"Let the others find Pete, Jace, and Jack. I'd just screw up. Lord knows I've screwed up enough already" Adam sighed.

"How?" Kale asked.

"How? Well for starters I should have gone back for them. I could of... I could of."

Kay and Kale blew raspberries at their brother. "Yeah I guess you to are right," Adam admitted. "There wasn't anything I could have done that would have made matters any better."

"Make better now," Kay said.

"Oh really! And just how am I going to make things better?" Adam asked smiling.

"Go here. Go now. Find," Kale said as he and his sister pressed their palms to Adam's temples. The one year old twins gave Adam a clear mental image of where he need to go.

"Are you sure?" Adam asked them. The twins nodded their heads. Adam pondered for a moment as Kay and Kale played with his hair. Adam knew that his parents would be angry to find him gone. But the twins were dead set on Adam going. Granted the twins were barely over a year old but they were normally right about such things.

'I must be crazy,' Adam thought.

"No crazy," The twins replied. Adam stared at them. The twins just grinned back.

"I'm so telling Mom and Dad you two got new powers," Adam said tickling the twins. "So I should really go?"

"Go. Go. Go," Kay and Kale said in between laughter.

"Fine I'll go," Adam said releasing the twins. "You to will cover for me right? Give me enough time to get away." The babies nodded their heads.

"Thanks."

Adam got off of his bed leaving his brother and sister to play as Adam prepared to leave. He quickly scribbled a note and attached it to Kale's dipper. Adam figured someone was bound to find it before the day was out. He then grabbed his knapsack and packed several changes of clothes, his tooth brush, comb, cell phone and wallet. Afterwards he reserved a plane ticket and called a cab to meet him in town.

Packed Adam carried a sleeping Kay and Kale into the nursery. He then went the safe hidden in the wall on the third floor. The safe contained emergency money, credit cards, and false Ids. Adam grabbed one of his passports, one thousand dollars worth of euros, and a credit card with a 10,000 dollar limit. Set, Adam snuck out of the house and made his way into town to meet his cab. On his walk into town Adam pondered briefly if he had gone insane.

Isle of Carthis

Monastery

Abel returned to conciseness, overwhelmed by pain coursing through his body. He shivered as he laid on the sone floor. His body was raw from the lashing administered by Cain. Abel carefully moved his right hand and found the stone floor damp with is blood. Abel then used his hand to inspect the damage Cain had done to him. As his fingers brushed against his shredded flesh Abel bit back a scream.

It will be okay baby someone's coming

whispered the voice of his mother.

Just lie still

Abel did as the voice instructed. His mother's voice had never led him astray. Abel figured that it wouldn't start now.

Oh his mother's voice. He loved that he could hear her, but it caused him so much pain and suffering. The monks believed that because Abel heard his mother's voice he had been touched by the devil. As a young boy Abel tried to defend his gift by citing Joan of Arc as his defense. Over and over Abel had told the monks how Joan had heard the voice of God and she was not a witch. Yet the monks turned a deaf ear to the boy and had taken to trying beat the voices out of Abel.

The voices were the only reason the monks were more comfortable around Cain than Abel. In the eyes of the monks Cain was the good clone, the clone that didn't hear voices. Cain was the clone that didn't go into convulsions during morning service. Cain was the clone that obeyed Father's every command. And yet Abel was the clone that Father cared more about, because Able was the perfect clone of his predecessor. A fact that angered Cain to the core.

The solid oak door to the cell screeched open startling Abel out of his musings. Steve entered the cell to find Abel shivering on the floor.

"Jesus Benny," Steve gasped.

"D-don't let th-the monks hear y-you take th-the Lords name in v-vain, or y-you'll end up in-in here t-t-too," Benny managed to say.

"Come on Benny let's get you up stairs to my room. I'll patch you up there," Steve said carefully lifting the boy into his arms. And though Steve tried to be a gentle as humanly possible Benny still found himself biting back screams of pain as Steve lifted him off of the stone floor.

It took Steve fifteen minutes to carry Benny upstairs. The whole time Benny slipped in and out of consciousness. "Benny Buddy, stay with me here," Steve told the boy in his arms. "Hey name me all of the females Peter Parker knows," Steve said in effort to keep Benny alert.

"Mary Jane Watson, Anna Watson, Gwen Stacy, F-Felicia Harding, Betty Brant, Aunt May..." Benny stopped his eyes rolled into the back of his head. "Morgan, Alley, Alex, Emily, Rach, Cass, Lissa, Maddie, Kay, Kat," Benny spoke rapidly.

"Benny, Benny, snap out of it," Steve said placing the boy onto the sweepers bed. Steve was frightened out of his wits over the safety of the boy. Benny stopped his ramblings and met Steve's frightened eyes.

"Steve what's happening to me?" Benny asked.

"I don't know Ben, I don't know," Steve replied honestly. "Why don't we get you patched up now, huh?" Benny nodded his head. Steve left the boy's side and gathered a basin of cold water, a wash cloth, bandages, hydrogen peroxide, and cotton balls. Steve returned to Benny's side.

"I'm gonna turn you over now Benny," Steve told the boy. Benny nodded, and readied himself for the pain that would follow. Steve carefully turned the clone over on to his stomach. Steve then proceeded to dampen the washcloth, and carefully wash the blood from Benny's back. There was so much blood Steve had to change the water several times. Done with washing the boy's back Steve took some cotton balls and dampened them with hydrogen peroxide. Benny let out several hisses of pain with the liquid came in contact with his wounds.

"Sit up for me Benny," Steve said softly as he helped Benny sit up. Steve then took the linen bandages and began to wrap Benny's torso. Done Steve placed Benny on a cot located next to Steve's bed.

"You'll stay here tonight," Steve told the boy, as he covered him with a throw.

"Kay," Benny said and closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep. As Benny slept Steve removed the bloody sheets from his bed, and replaced them with fresh ones. Steve then laid down on his bed and watched Benny sleep.

Though neither Steve or Benny would admit it out loud the two shared a father son relationship. Steve -barely eighteen years Benny's senior- truly loved the boy as though he were his own. Steve had been the one who raised Benny from infancy. And Steve was the only true father figure Benny knew. It was Steve who had taught Benny to read, how to tie his shoes, and all of the other things fathers teach their sons, including how to bandage their wounds.

Steve hated himself for not attending service that morning. Had he been their he would have been able to protect Benny form the monks and Kaine. It wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to Benny. Whenever the monks or Kaine caught Benny in the midst of a psychic fit the boy was taken away a punished for something he had no control over. Benny had become a walking scar. Pale marks ran up and down his back, and chest from lashing administrated by Kaine and the monks. Not to mention the scar on the palm of Benny's hand that the boy had receive when one of the monks had placed his hand in a fire. Benny had been four at the time.

The past six months had become the worst of Benny's life. His psychic fits had grown more frequent, and thus had his punishments. And if anything his punishments had grown more severe. Steve had questioned Benny's father on the punishments inflicted upon the boy. But Father had told Steve that all that Benny endured would make him stronger. Steve thought that Father's philosophy was pure bull shit.

"Steve," Benny whispered.

"What is it Benny?" Steve asked sitting up.

"You won't let Kaine kill me will you?" Benny spoke softly.

"What do the voices say Ben?" Steve questioned. Benny closed his eyes. For a moment Steve thought that Benny had drifted off to sleep again. But eventually Benny opened his eyes.

"They said no," Benny replied. "But sometimes...sometimes they're wrong," Benny said so quietly Steve could barely hear him.

"Come here Benny," Steve said and Benny carefully made his way over onto Steve's bed. "I won't let Kaine hurt you any more Ben. I'm getting you out of here. Tomorrow I'll go in to town and see about getting a boat ride to main land. I have more than enough money saved up to get us to America. We'll get a house someplace nice. I'll raise you as my son. We can live where ever you want. Go to school like a normal kid. Hell if you don't want to go to school I won't make you."

"W-would that make you my dad?" Benny whispered. His small frame shaking at living such a life.

"If that is what you want then yes." Steve told the boy. Benny chuckled slightly. "What?" Steve asked the boy."

"You're gonna be my Dad. 'Cept you've been my Dad my whole life. Mine and Seth's but not Kaine's. Why not?"

"Kaine and I never got along not even when you guys were infants." Steve stated.

"How long do you think it will take us to get to America?" Benny asked.

"A week tops. I need to get you a pass port when we reach the mainland. From there we'll set out to Ireland, and in Ireland I'll need to set some things up. Background information on you, stuff like that."

"I know where we can go to live," Benny said.

"Where?" Steve asked.

"To my predecessor's -my brother's- family. I'm pretty sure that they'll except me, and you. I hear that they take in kids. Or they did a few years back any way. Right now they're not... they're not where they should be. Nor are they at home. They've split up. The older ones are searching, the rest are in hiding. And one of them has split of from all the rest of them. I think that they're gonna split even more. But we need to find the one who left everyone else. He'll take us to the rest," Benny said as the voices whispered to him.

"We'll find him," Steve said as Benny's eyes began to droop. The boy rested his head against Steve's chest. "I promise you we'll find him."

Kaine moved away from Steve's door, a sneer on his face. 'Traitor,' Kaine thought as he clenched the dagger in his hands.

Review please, it helps to combat the stress in my life
