Chapter Ten: The contents are….
Aiden just stared at Toby in disbelief. He was working for the other side. He was a traitor. They couldn't trust him with nothing.
"Who sent you? And what is your name?" Aiden asked a little to loud, for it attracted her mom and Dreamer.
"Aiden, what's going on?" Sam asked.
"Mom, he's working for them! They know where we both are. He can't live." Aiden said. Dreamer went into defense mode. Sam was shocked to say the least. Before she could act, Aiden was on top of Toby try to strangle him. She had a feral look on her face. The two were fighting violently attracting the rest of the family into the living room.
"Sam! What is going on here?" Mark asked his sister.
Sam went to her brother whispering into his ear "Get your family as far away from here as you can or all of you will die."
Mark stared at his sister as if she was crazy. He didn't know what was happening in Sam's house, but it wasn't good. "Sam what is wrong?"
"Mark, mom's people are trying to kill Aiden and I. You and you family don't need to die because of us. I'll call when it's over. Now Go!" Sam said pushing him and his family away from the living room. They left the house.
She turned just in time to see Toby hit Aiden with a fire blast. As Aiden flew backwards landing on an end table, Sam used her hand to send a blast, sending Toby flying backwards into the wall behind him. Aiden got up and approached the downed teen. He looked up at her with fear in his eyes as she began manipulating his thoughts. He began screaming in agony as his fears came to life in his brain. He stopped breathing and died five minutes later.
As Aiden fell to her knees overwhelmed by what she just did, Sam approached her. As Sam knelt next to her daughter, Aiden began shaking from shock.
"Aiden, you did nothing wrong, we can easily explain this to Mark and his family." Sam said.
"Mom, what books was he talking about? He said that they wanted the books." Aiden said looking at her mother.
"They tell of how to destroy the Ancients and how to make them powerless. I've had them hidden away since I found them six years ago. I knew that they would figure it out eventually, but I was hoping we would be forgotten about by now." Sam said looking away. Jonas still stood in the living room with Dreamer when the front door opened and Jacob came running in. He took the scene in. Sam and Aiden were kneeling next the hall while Jonas stood in the living room shocked.
"Sammy, what happened?" Jacob asked.
"He's dead, there'll be more coming now." Aiden said getting up. "Mom, gimme the books and I'll leave with them. You can't die in this war."
Sam got up looking at her daughter, "and I can't you fight alone."
"Nor will I." Jacob said.
"Same here Aiden." Jonas said.
'And I to master.' Dreamer said telepathically to all members in the room. Aiden smiled at the support from them.
"Thank you." Aiden said.
