Raven's POV

I woke up with a blistering head ache, and alone. I looked around the room to find a white celled room without windows, and a steel door. I realize that I have made it into the EG facility. Phase one complete.

Quickly, I check my bra for the hidden ear piece Luke had given me. I feel it on the side and take it out, putting into my ear, and turned it on. Waiting to hear from the others I stand up and try to hear from outside the door. All I hear is white noise, and I know that I'm alone.

"Raven?" I hear Luke's voice in the ear piece.

"I'm fine, and I'm in a cell. Have you heard from the others?" I whisper, just to be safe.

"Just Nick. Are you by yourself?" he asked. With a quick glance around the room, I see that I am.

"Yes." I answer.

"Okay, we're still waiting to hear from Seth and Cameron." He says, but at that moment I hear my door open.

"Hold up." I whisper, and I hear silence on the other line.

The steel doors open to reveal a young woman in a white lab coat at the entrance. She looked to be of African-American descent only her hair was bright red. I look at her suspiciously, trying to anticipate what she's going to do.

"Raven Souza, is it?" she asks. I stand perfectly still, and only stare at her. "Come with me." She orders, and motions for two body guards to usher me out of the room.

I follow the woman down a series of halls, taking in deep breaths trying to catch my family's scent, but I don't catch anything. The young woman shows me into another room.

My stomach hits the floor and bile rises at the back of my throat. In this room, in front of me, sat Carter strapped to a chair, his head slumped to the side and his face pale. What had they done to him? One of the body guards nudged Carter's shoulder harshly, waking him up.

"Is this one of the kids you were traveling with?" she asked. Carter looked up at me shocked, but then his expression turned sorrowful.

"We have the others." I hear a voice say out of the thin air. I look around but there is no one else in the room.

Just then the doors open again, and then I see the rest of my team being dragged into the room. Nick looks at me, and relief spreads across his face, but mine pales. Nick's face has a giant gash over his forehead. What did they do to him?

"I'll ask you again. Are these the kids you were traveling with?" the young woman asked. When Carter didn't speak she pressed a button on a small remote she held sending Carter into shouts of pain.

His fists were bunched up on the arm rests, his face turning red with pain. I couldn't watch them do this. The more he stayed quiet the more the pain grew. I didn't like Carter, but I didn't like anyone being in pain.

"Stop it." I say, but the woman doesn't hear me. "Stop!" I shout, and instantly I'm pinned against the wall by the two body guards.

"Raven!" my boys shout, only to be restrained as well.

"Raven! What's going on?" I hear Caleb's frantic voice in the ear piece.

"Don't hurt them!" Carter shouts frantic as well. We all look at him to see him panting and slumped in his chair. "Just … don't hurt them." He says.

"Then answer my question. Are they, or are they not, the kids you were traveling with?" she asks. I look at Carter, expecting him to deny it, to tell them to let us go and they have the wrong kids, but to my shock he nods.

"They are." He says. My mouth drops open in disbelief. Did he seriously just sell us out?

"Good. Take him back to his holding cell." The young woman commands.

The doors open again and two guards come in and take Carter away.

"Strap the kids down." She then says, and before I could try and fight back I'm strapped down to a similar chair that Carter was sitting in.

"Bring them in." she then says, to whom I have no idea.

The door opens again, only then does my heart start racing, and my eyes go wide. Mom and dad are pushed into the cell, both looking roughed up and exhausted. I try to get up, but they have me restrained to the chair.

"Targets within reach." I whisper.

"They're in the same room now?" Jade asks over the ear piece.

"Affirmative." I hear Nick whisper next to me. Are we the only ones with our ear pieces in?

My mom is the first to look up and see us. Tears rim her eyes, but she pulls them back not wanting to show any emotion. Then dad looks up at us and shock is clear on his face. Did he not get the message that we were coming?

"Chloe, Derek, I'm sure you recognize out little subjects here." The young woman says, waving at us.

"Rae, please." My mom says, but she wasn't speaking to me. She was looking at the young woman, and if I'm not mistaken – it's like my mom knew her from way back when.

"Chloe, don't. I've told you that I'm not the person you think I am." Rae says, glaring at my mom.

"I know you are. The Rae I know is still in there." my mom tries, but with a wave of Rae's hand one of the body guards has her pinned to the floor. I hear my dad growl at the action, but the other body guard hits him over the head, and my dad stops.

"Maybe your kids will be able to tell us where Simon and Tori are." She says, stepping in front of Seth. She squats in front him, and smiles coldly at him. Seth stares at her emotionless.

"Raven? What's going on?" Caleb shouts, and I growl in response. This only caused Rae to look at me.

"I take it that you're the leader of this group then?" she smirks, and looks back at my little brother. "I guess you're the perfect one to ask then, aren't you?" she talks to him like he's 5 years old.

Seth smartly doesn't say anything and just continues to look at Rae blankly. She stands in front of him, pulling something out from her jacket pocket. It's a long syringe needle. Seth is deathly scared of needles!

Immediately Seth's face goes pale and his expression shows fear as he stares at the overly sized needle. I struggle against my restraints trying to get to her, but the straps have me held down securely.

"What's that for?" Cam asks, also trying to get to her, but failing same as me.

"We'll just be drawing blood from each of you. You know, for … future studies." She says and flicks the syringe, making Seth flinch.

"Stop!" I think about saying it, but someone else says it. I look over to see my mom standing, looking very angry. But, she doesn't look like my mother.

Her eyes are more furious, almost turning into an icy blue, and there seemed to be something coming off of her. I looked closely at her and I know something is wrong with her. Or maybe something right. My father looks at her but doesn't do anything to stop her.

"Let the kids go." She demands, and there's an echo behind her voice. My eyes go wide as I realize that this isn't my mother. She is being possessed.

"Will someone restrain her?" Rae says, rolling her eyes.

As she says that one of the guards comes up to my mom, but only to be blown back by an invisible force, and all my mom did was lift a hand. Rae stared at her gaping, not sure how my mom did that. She was only a necromancer.

"I order you to let them go." My mother says again.

"How did you? Your powers aren't supposed to work here." Rae tried to make sense of what was going on, but the invisible voice came back on.

"She's getting outside help, kill her now!" the voice shouted. Rae then pulled out a semi-automatic pistol from under her white coat, and pointed it at my mom.

"No!" my dad and I shouted, but only my dad could save her.

Dad leaped up and tacked Rae to the ground, the gun going off, but it only hit one of the fluorescent lights, having glass shatter everywhere and the room going darker.

"Raven?!" Caleb shouted through the ear piece.

"I'm fine, you're on." I say, giving them the signal.

I look over towards the door where more soldiers or whatever they're called coming storming into the room. Mom rushes over to me, and just looks at my restraints and they are released and I'm free. I hurry and get up. Mom releases the boys just as the soldiers are about to attack.

"Thanks Liz." Seth says, looking at my mom. Liz? As in the ghost girl?

"Back!" Nick shouted, sending the first couple flying backwards and crashing against the wall.

I take this chance and morph into a wolf quickly. I bark loudly catching mostly everyone's attention, especially my father's. He looked at me shocked and confused, as if he didn't believe his own eyes. Neither of us had any time to gawk at each other, so I jumped on the nearest soldier and chomped down on his arm, getting a cry of pain in reply.

"Raven, get them outside." Nick shouts, and it sounds like an order from Jade. I bark letting him know I got it.

"I've got your back." Cameron says, using his fire to blast a few guys.

With this, I crash through the crowd, leading my family out of here and into freedom. I can hear them running and following me, and suddenly I find another black wolf running next to me. At first I think it's an enemy, but when I see the emerald green eyes, I know exactly who it is.

I follow my father down various halls, knowing he knew this place better than I did. I pushed Seth and Nick in front of me making sure that they were keeping up and safe.

We busted through a pair of double doors, and I could smell the fresh air of the late afternoon sky. We all ran out, only to skid to a halt when we found three proud figures standing in front of us, and behind them a long row of soldiers pointing guns at us.

A/N: How is that for a cliff hanger? Did I give you guys enough tension to get through? Want more? Well I've already started the next chapter. The only thing you could do to get me to upload faster is to …. Review!

I just love it when you do. I'm so thankful for the ones that I have gotten so far. They are the reasons why I continue to write. Thank you very much.

Well, review and I will talk to you all next time. Bye!
