Ok, Thursday again, so here's Chapter 10. :D

MATT POV

"HOUSE MEETING! RIGHT NOW!" The words echoed through the entire house, alerting everyone to the fact that someone was angry and not to be trifled with, causing everyone to converge in the kitchen. As I entered the room, I found everyone talking animately to one another, loudly, even though they were Scions and could probably hear one another if they whispered. I took an empty seat and waited for the noise to die down, which it did a few minutes later.

"Why the house meeting then?" I asked. "Has something else gone wrong?" I continued, not having realised anything was amiss.

"Yes Matthew, something is wrong. Last night, some of our number decided to leave. Now, it wouldn't have been much of an issue if we were told why they had left, but they didn't leave us with anything to go off. Most of us didn't even know they had left until this morning when they were nowhere to be found." Claire announced, authorative voice commanding the room. A silence took over the room quickly, and I took the chance to look around, finding that Jason, Amy, Helen, Johanna and Finnick were all missing from their usual chairs.

"OK, I understand Helen and Jason wanting to leave, because of their powers changing, and I know that both of them have an immeasurable guilt over what they think they've done. But I don't get why the others would want to leave. None of them have an any issues right?" Lucas raised the issue, worry evident in his voice as he clearly thought on the dangers that could come to the five missing members of our household.

"Actually, yes. Though I do not know about Finnick or Johanna, Amy spent much of the past few days researching with me. Her powers had somehow changed while everyone was in the woods looking for Peeta. Apparently, according to Jason, she had mimicked Johanna's siren song, with Katniss' voice. I'm taking a wild guess here, that Johanna and Finnick may both be having issues with their powers aswell. Or perhaps they were going for moral support?" Cassie spoke, louder than she usually would have done.

"OK, so that's 3 of them. Though why they thought they couldn't come to us to talk about it, I don't know. They know that we'd all do everything we could to help them control it. Has anyone else been having problems with their powers at all?" I said, knowing that at least one person in the room would raise their hand.

"Yes." Sarah raised her hand. "I accidentally froze both Peeta and Matt while we were in the woods, and I mean they froze. In mid-air. And I think I may have teleported Peeta away somehow, though I may be wrong with that." She hung her head slightly, and Hector placed his hand between her shoulder blades before speaking.

"OK, well you stayed. So maybe it's not just the powers thing. Perhaps there is some underlying thing that we may have missed?" He said, looking around at everyone on the table.

Orion gasped slightly and his head shot up. Everyones heads turned towards him, and he waited a moment before speaking as he thought on something. "I was walking through the house the other day, and I passed by the patio doors. I looked outside and saw Jason and Helen talking to one another as they had been doing for hours, and didn't think anything of it. Until I looked closer. As you guys know, I can see emotions, sort of. Now Helens, and Jason's are usually quite light and positive, but when I looked at them that day, they were far from light and way off positive. I should have known something was wrong. At the time, I put it to just thinking about their powers messing up, but somehow it seemed worse than that. Now I think about it." He said, closing his eyes a moment, obviously picturing the scene. "The emotions that rushed through the two of them were normal. Sadness, worry, fear. Normal for what had happened so far. But when I locked onto Helens, there was a small patch of black, or maybe dark purple. Beginning in her head, and oh so very slowly, spreading. Oh my god! How could I be so stupid!" He exclaimed, opening his eyes and letting out an exasperated sigh as he dropped his head back.

Yet another silence fell over the entirety of the room as we thought on what Orion had just told us. Cassandra was the first to speak. "Well, I wasn't expecting that, and that will not end well. We all know that. Now, I didn't want to do this, but I'm going to have to now. Since it's to do with power problems, can we put the possibility of contacting Prim onto the table?" Most of the table sported confused looks, only a few having melancholy looks plastered on their face, but the incredulous look from Katniss, was enough for me to become curious as to who exactly 'Prim' was.

"Who?" I asked, hoping I wouldn't get my head ripped from my shoulders. Katniss only sighed and dropped her own shoulders.

"We can't contact Prim, Cassie. We accepted her death a long time ago, after she went missing." Katniss' eyes glazed over slightly as she spoke and I noticed that Cassandra seemed to get nervous quickly as Katniss looked at her. "What? What do you know? Cass you have to tell me. Please. Is my sister alive?" She said, her words getting more and more desperate with each one she spoke.

Cassandra leaned forward in her seat, leaning on her forearms on the table. "I was told not to tell you, but I guess this is an emergency. Yes, Primrose is alive and well and has been putting her powers to good use apparently, hunting down evil Scions. Apparently, her power has been controlled over the years." Katniss' eyes widened significantly as Cassandra spoke about her sister, which explained who Prim was, but why we should contact her was still a mystery.

After a moment, Katniss sighed, and looked around the table before looking back at Cassandra. "If it's controlled and you know what you're doing with this, then contact her. For now, I'm guessing that most of you guys don't know who Prim is or what happened?" She directed the last to the entire table. "OK, Cass, since you brought this up, you can tell everyone what happened."

We directed our attentions to Cassie who sighed at the responsibility of this being put on her, but began anyway. "Alright, so this all happened when Creon was just starting to stalk Helen..."

FLASHBACK

Helen was running track with Katniss and Gale, who were both competing for first place, Helen taking third this time. Hector, Lucas and Jason were running around their own field playing football.

Helen saw movement in the corner of her eye and, turning her head to search for the movement, she found Creon leaning against a tree watching her. Her anger rose quickly and she took off after him, determined to find out what the hell he thought he was gaining by following her. The guys playing football saw Helen run off and took off after her, disappearing into the woods.

Helen had accidentally been crackling with energy while she chased Creon through the trees and had, without knowing it, hit Gale with her power, as he'd clearly taken off after he when she ran into the woods, eager to help with whatever was happening. Hector and Lucas had found the injured boy, and lifted his writhing form, carrying him to Katniss' house, which was the closest house on the island, quickly and as quietly as they could. The three of them were ushered into the house and Gale was placed on the Everdeen's kitchen table, as Helen and Jason chased Creon away.

Katniss had run to get Ariadne who was back at the school in the library as usual on a Wednesday and in minutes, the two were back at the house, Ariadne's hands running quickly over Gale's injury, though soon after, Prim entered the room and Ariadne's powers stopped working, causing Gale to cry out from the loss of healing as the pan came back to him.

Gale died minutes later as Helen's lightning had been so strong that it got to his heart and shook it so much that it came detatched from his veins.

Prim was the only one that had known about her powers at the time and went missing soon after that, after telling her sister about her powers and what she had done.

NORMAL TIME.

"... And none of us have seen her since, though she's been keeping me updated with news and the like. She was working with Helens mother, Daphne, during the whole issue with Tantalus, right Orion?" She turned to the Earthshaker, who just nodded at the question, and a moment went past before anyone spoke, and when they did, it was Sarah who asked the question.

"Alright, so why exactly do we need her help in this matter?" She said, leaning on the table in front of her, and directing her question to Cassandra, who sighed slightly before responding.

"Prim is a Leech, which means she can take away Scions' powers if she wishes to do so. In the beginning it was uncontrolled and, therefore, anyone in a short radius around her, lost their powers temporarily, while they were near her, but in the recent years, she's somehow learned to control said power and it's... a little more... specific, i guess. She's able to focus on one person and take away the powers and/or senses of that person and that person only. Now, if the issue with the others is to do with uncontrolled powers, then maybe she can help." the Oracle answered, leaving an odd taste in my mouth at the idea of this girl being able to leave almost everyone in our house powerless. Clearly some of the others had the same issue, as the silence that fell over the room was tense.

"Fine. We'll contact her. I assume you have some way of doing that Cass?" Orion spoke up, authority clear in his voice as he stood by the end of the table, much like a war General would do.

"Of course. I'll call her as soon as possible." She stood from her chair, turned and left the room, obviously heading to the library. Orion stayed stood where he was, hands braced on the edge of the wood.

"Alright. I don't know how well this is going to go, but I do know that Prim is at least relatively trustworthy, or was when we worked with Daphne. But this has to work. At the moment, we have no other choice but to trust that Cassie knows what she is doing."

Hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did writing it. :)
