A/N: Sorry for the long update. I thought it was one week, and I checked. It said I hadn't updated in two weeks, so I'm terribly sorry. Always, blame writer's block, but I think I can force my self out of it.


Wow, over 12,000 hits. I'm impressed. My jaw literally dropped.


Meanwhile Dana and Nicole were surprisingly getting along. They had one main objective. That was to kill Glenn and enjoy it. Black arrows were fired, and the two channelled their energy. White lights came out of Nicole's body and black ones came out of Dana. The opposing colours merged together and blended into a grey light and shot Glenn directly. The light sliced through him, like razors and blood poured out of his chest. He clutched it, trying to stop it. He fell to his knees, but something strange happened. Glenn felt powerful, really powerful. He didn't even know what was happening to him, but he liked it. An explosion rang out, spraying Chase, Zoey, Logan, Dana, Nicole and Michael in different directions. When they all reunited, a screen of smoke revealed Glenn…

"No, this can't be happening!" Zoey shrieked, as she held on to Chase. Chase held her in surprise as well. How could this have happened? He has so close, so very close. Killing Glenn wouldn't be as easy as he thought.

'No! We were too close for this to happen! I knew something was up when Glenn re-appeared again! Ok, new game plan…but what the hell do we do? I think I need to handle this one on my own.' Chase thought as his internal panic settled in…


Chapter 26: Family Business

The six friends backed away, slowly as Glenn advanced upon them. Soon the group made twelve. Chase's eyes darted for an apparent exit, but nothing. Zoey latched onto him, as the older siblings stood protectively in front of them. Logan was frustrated. They had been so close, and now had to do everything from scratch.

"I have a plan," Noah Bristow half-whispered.

"Um, will it help get Glenn away and possibly kill him this time?" Samantha Reese asked.

"Yes," Noah replied, nodding. "Nikki? Remember the trick I taught you?"

Nicole giggled quietly, "Yeah."

Chase, Zoey, Logan, Michael and Dana were completely lost. What the hell were they talking about?

"Baby, fill us in, here," Stacy Barrett asked her boyfriend.

"Ok," Noah explained, while trying to fight Glenn off, "Nicole makes all six of you invisible since you guys are behind, he'll think you guys are still there. You will then appear on the other side of your sibling. There are twelve rafters facing each other. We jump and land on the rafters. Glenn will be surrounded, and as soon he gets in the middle, we combine our elements. Got it?"

"Yeah." and "Sure" were heard from remaining eleven.

"Or you can teleport up there by yourself," Courtney said, last minute.

"Wait…we can do that?" Zoey asked, with raised eyebrow. They laughed, like she was new at this "superpowers" thing. The truth was…she was.

"Yeah, you all can," Samantha laughed. Logan wasn't amused; he could've done that a long time ago to get himself out of here.

"Ok, what are we waiting for? Let's do this, then," said a strangely confident Chase.

"So, what do we do to get ourselves from here to up there," asked Michael, pointing to the rafters up here.

"Just concentrate, bro," Stacy re-assured. "Close your eyes and focus."

"We've been doing that a lot, you know," Logan pointed out. This was why his mouth got him into trouble.

"Fine. You think you can teleport yourself. Try it." Samantha urged.

"And if I do it, you owe me a five hundred bucks," Logan betted Samantha, smirking.

She scoffed, "Just five hundred. We'll raise it to a cool thousand."

Logan shrugged, "Fine. Easiest thousand I ever made. Now, stand back if you don't want to get burned."

Logan closed his eyes, and harnessed all of his energy into landing on that rafter. The ground shook a little as Logan's aura was a vibrant red one. He disappeared in a sea of flames and everybody looked up as he landed on a rafter in a puff of red smoke. Logan opened his eyes, slowly. He was on a rafter! Wow, a thousand smackers… Samantha crossed her arms, and playfully glared at her brother. She hated it when Logan outsmarted her like that.

A thousand dollars was like pocket change so she didn't care, but still Logan burned her. Logan was looking quite smug. He gave a look that said 'you were saying?' Glenn was getting impatient. Courtney looked down at Chase. It was his easy turn next. Luckily for Chase, he already knew how to go from place to place. He breathed in, and glowed lime green as a vine shot upwards from his hand and he swung on it, and disappeared for a minute.

'Where's Chase?' Zoey and Courtney thought frantically at the same time.

Their fears calmed down when Chase appeared in a puff of green smoke on the rafter beside Logan. Logan and Chase high-fived. Glenn was still paying attention to the others to notice Chase and Logan were gone. Dylan looked at his little sister, and Zoey nodded. Zoey closed her eyes as she disappeared in a ribbon of clear blue water. She re-appeared in a whirlpool of water, landing on the rafter beside Chase. She and Chase waved at each other, and Zoey blew him a kiss.

Logan muttered, "Oh, puh-lease…"

Logan, shut up…" Zoey said, rolling her eyes. "You're just mad because Dana isn't here. Now shut up, before Glenn looks up here, and realizes we're not down there."

Next was Dana's turn. The cool thing about Dana and Bryan was that they didn't have to say a thing. They communicated with their eyes.

"Go Dana," Bryan instructed, monotonously.

"Whatever."

Dana, unlike the others, didn't have to work so hard. A black vortex covered her and in a minute the vortex died down and she was next to Logan.

"Michael? Can we go together? I'm kinda scared," Nicole asked.

"Sure," he replied, giving her a slight kiss on the cheek. "Noah? Stacey?"

"Yeah," the older couple replied.

"Nicole and I are gonna go together? Is that okay?"

"Yeah," Stacy replied. She drew a golden hoop and threw it around Glenn so he couldn't attack them. He struggled as golden lights made a barrier that was hard to break through, and top of that, it made going on the offensive much easier.

"God, beautiful and smart," Noah whispered in her ear, as he placed a kiss on her cheek. Stacy laughed and blushed. Nicole and Michael held hands and Nicole was engulfed by a tornado of wind, and Michael tornado of lightning bolts. They re-appeared on adjacent rafters.

"What the hell are they doing?" Logan wondered, aloud, but not loud enough to alert Glenn.

"Oh, the light barrier," Michael said, noticing how hard Glenn was attacking but Courtney, Dylan, Sammie, Bryan, Noah, and Stacy seemed bored. "My sister put that up so they couldn't get us, and I could do it, too, so we'll do safe up here. Don't worry about it."

"Anyone got any popcorn?" Zoey asked. "I wanna watch this."

"Me too," Chase laughed.

Nicole snapped her fingers and a big bowl of popcorn appeared in her hands. Zoey gasped, slightly.

"Nicole? How did you conjure up popcorn like that?"

Logan cut her off, "Does it matter? Send that over!"

Soon all six them, were eating popcorn and watched the older siblings go after Glenn. It was quite hilarious, and they noticed a bit of themselves in their siblings.

"It's kinda freaky how Logan and Samantha look like each other. Not in a bad way. Relax," Chase said, after watching Sammie kick Glenn in the groin. "Oh, man. That has to hurt…"

"Yeah," Logan said, agreeing, "but you and Courtney look alike too, so I guess that makes us even."

"I'm having suspicious, you guys," Zoey said. Nicole raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about, Zo?"

"Dylan and Samantha. You ever think that they're more than best friends?"

"You think?" Chase asked after pondering. Samantha Reese and Dylan Brooks have been really tight throughout the whole thing. "Then again, they're just friends. Best friends."

"Look where that got you, Chase," Dana pointed out, referring to Chase and Zoey's relationship. Logan laughed until he stopped at the thought of his sister and Zoey's brother secretly going out.

"No way! When hell freezes over!"

Zoey looked at Logan, "You know I intend to keep you to your word."

"You guys shut up! I wanna see what's happening," Dana whisper-yelled.

"Yeah, Michael said, pumping his fist, "the barrier's working!"


"Are you done trying to 'kill us'?" Samantha asked snobbily, using air-quotes. "When we're done with you, I'm going after Andy next. He's going to pay for making me and my brother suffer. If I don't kill him…Logan will, and you know he can."

"It doesn't matter, because I won't tell you where he is—" Glenn was caught off by Samantha, who is immune to Stacy's barrier, delivered a powerful kick to his groin area. She flipped her hair off of her shoulder, as Glenn crumpled to the ground and coughed up blood.

"Fine…you win…it's all over…anyway…but Andy's not at the warehouse," Glenn said, between coughs.

"Where is he, then?" Courtney Matthews demanded, crossing her arms angrily. "I'll kill you for making Chase suffer over Zoey."

"Yeah, the major obsession, you have with my sister ends now. Now where's Andy?"

"Fine!" You win, he's at PCA…he's waiting to kill Logan there. He meant to kill you two because of your powers but ended up with your mother anyway."

"Oh, you're going down! I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!" Samantha screamed as tried to go after Glenn again. Dylan and Noah grabbed her. "I SWEAR! I'LL DO MORE THAN A KICK TO THE BALLS!...LET ME GO!...Dylan…Noah…Let me go! I swear if you so much as look at Logan…I don't about them, but I will personally travel the freakin' nation, trying to kill ALL of your family members…EVERYONE FROM YOUR GRANDPARENTS TO YOUR PARENTS!"

"No, you can't, Reese…because you just can't…" Glenn taunted.

"I'm Samantha Renee Reese, you know, daughter of Malcolm Reese…even without my father, I have people under my thumb! I can get away with it, Davis. Don't. Try. Me," Samantha threatened in a dangerously low tone.

"I'd like to see you try."

"You know what? This bullshit has gone on long enough. I'm not waiting anymore," Bryan Cruz chimed in, pissed as hell. "Hey, on your way to hell…say hello to Satan for me. We haven't chatted in a while. JOIN HANDS NOW!"


Everyone disappeared much faster than their siblings. Courtney appeared first, then Samantha, then Dylan and Bryan and then, finally Noah and Stacy. Glenn looked up and then around him. He couldn't go anywhere! This was really the end. He fought and kicked the barrier down, but it only sent electrical coursing through his body.

He looked up, and found Chase smirking down at him. How he hated that smirk! Zoey was supposed to be his!

"Any last words…"

"I love you, Zoey," Glenn said. Anger sparked in Chase's eyes. Zoey was disgusted… Logan and Dana looked at each other with a look that said 'not again'.

"Ok, let's do this…he can die slowly and painfully," Chase said, with an emotionless tone.

"Morbid much?" replied Courtney.

Chase shrugged.

"I think Bryan likes you and your morbidity," Courtney said, laughing a little.

Chase said smiling, "Well, I think if his rival tried to steal you away from him, he'd feel the same way. Besides, I like him too, even more now that he's my sister's boyfriend."

Stacy explained, "We're going alphabetical by last name. So the element of light is first, then air, followed by water, darkness, earth, and last is fire. If you don't get it, the order is: Barrett, Bristow, Brooks, Cruz, Matthews, and Reese. Got it?"

Everyone nodded.

"They saved the best for last," Logan said, while smirking. This caused everyone to groan, even Samantha. "What? They did…"

"My barrier won't hold for long, so let's go," Stacy instructed. "You ready, Mike?"

"Yeah, Stace."

Everybody stood on opposite sides of each other. Michael and Stacy held out their hands and concentrated harder than ever before. Yellow lights emitted from them as they opened their eyes, and their hands sparked.

"LIGHT! ELEMENT OF CHILDISHNESS AND YOUTH!" the Barrett kids screamed as two lightning bolts escaped from their hands and merged halfway. It caused a white ball of light to form in the middle. Michael and Stacy still kept their concentration going. Noah and Nicole looked at each other and nodded.

Noah and Nicole held their hands on opposite sides of each other. They closed their eyes and focused, concentrating as the wind around them got stronger. White lights getting stronger, and they continue to concentrate.

"AIR! ELEMENT OF INNOCENCE!"

Two white lights come out and added to the ball of lights getting bigger. The ball changed from yellow to white back and forth.

"Go Zoey!" Nicole yelled as she tried to keep her elemental energy in check.

"Come on, Dyl!" Noah yelled.

"You ready, Zoey?"

"Yeah!"

Dylan and Zoey concentrated. They glowed a luminous blue. Dylan and Zoey stretched their hands out to each other as if to receive the other's energy.

'This is the end, Chase. We can finally be happy.' Zoey thought, happily. This thought made the glow of Zoey shine brighter.

"WATER! ELEMENT OF PURITY AND HEALING!"

Blue lights added to the already brighter ball in the center. Dylan and Zoey continued to glow as the ball of light continued to grow and blue light surrounded it. Bryan and Dana were next.

"Let's do this, Day."

"Yeah."

Dana and Bryan concentrated and the ground trembled from underneath. Black auras surrounded them, and darkness seeped through them. Two powerful streaks of black exited their hands and now the ball was surrounded by a thick black aura.

"DARKNESS! ELEMENT OF ALL THINGS EVIL!"

Chase and Courtney looked at each other and nodded. Chase was going to do this for Zoey.

'This is it, Zoey. I'm doing this for you. I love you more than you'll ever know.'

'True love makes his aura shine brighter. Think of Zoey, bro. You're on the right track.'

"EARTH! ELEMENT OF LIFE AND RESSURECTION!" Chase and Courtney yelled in perfect unison, as two green lights added on to the ball in the middle. It turned green for a split second, and Chase and Courtney kept the ball growing bigger, like the others before them.

"Come on. Logan, you're up!" Chase instructed.

"Sammie, it's your turn," Courtney told her friend.

"Ok. You ready, Logan?"

"Yeah," Logan replied, nodding.

Logan and Samantha thought of one thing. Their mother. All of their childhood memories with her. It was Glenn's fault, indirectly, that she wasn't here. Logan and Samantha glowed red, and soon enough the heat was starting to get to everyone. Flames encircled their hands.

'This is for you, Mom,' Logan and Samantha thought simultaneously.

"FIRE! ELEMENT OF LOVE AND DESIRE!"

The brother and sister unleashed powerful streams of flames and it was complete. The gigantic ball was aimed towards Glenn from behind. Just when Glenn broke out of the light barrier, he turned around and his successful smile turned into a 'deer caught in the headlights' look.

"Ready. Set. Die," Chase mumbled, as the giant ball came for Glenn. It hit him in the chest, and he smashed into a wall. He was bleeding all over, and an explosion caused him to scream. His world went black. Glenn Davis lay there not moving an inch.

They all jumped down and saw Glenn, not moving and lay still.

"You think we really did it this time?" Nicole asked.

"I don't know," Noah replied. Chase looked like he'd thinking and then he snapped his fingers. There was one way to found out. In a flash of green light, a spear appeared in Chase's hands. A smirk danced on his lips as he laid eyes on Glenn's unmoving figure.

"You guys stand back."

"Chase, what are you doing?" Zoey asked, out of curiosity.

"You'll see. I promise. Everything will be smooth sailing from here. Promise," he explained, vaguely.

Chase took aim, and took a deep breath. He never really killed anybody before, but Glenn was an exception. He saw Glenn twitch and knew he couldn't take chances. He raised the spear and in a green light the spear flew right through the other teen laying on the floor. The spear fell with a clunk and disappeared, while Glenn's figure exploded into dust. The twelve teens watched as the dust was carried away into the wind, never to be seen again.

"Oh, my God. I actually did it this time," said a shocked Chase. "He's gone! I did it!"

Chase turned around with a big smile plastered on his face. Zoey ran up to him, jumped up and kissed him with her legs hugging his waist. Chase kissed her back, equal happy. The day had finally come. There were no more obstacles in the way now. Zoey jumped down and they hugged tightly. Logan and Dana joined, followed by Nicole and Michael, and a group hug formed.

There were high-fives and hug from the older teens too. Courtney kissed Bryan, and Stacy kissed Noah. They broke apart, and Logan was smirking at his sister.

"What?" Samantha asked, even though she knew Logan was referring to the little bet they had made.

"I believe you owe me 10 Ben Franklins," Logan pointed out, with a cocky grin.

Samantha played dumb, "What? What are you talking about? A thousand dollars? I have no memory of the events in question."

Logan held out his hand as if to receive his money.

"Ok fine! Here," his sister relented, giving Logan 10 100-dollar bills. Logan counted them, and shoved them in his back pocket.

"So, how does it feel to lose your little brother?"

"I'll get you back, Logan…and I think I know how," Samantha said, with a sickly-sweet grin on her face. "Oh, Logan…come here and give your big sister a hug!"

"No…no…not the hugs and kisses," Logan pleaded backing away, but it was too late. Samantha kissed a squirming Logan on the cheek. It was a wet one too. "Oh, God, Sammie cooties! I've been infected!"

Courtney laughed, "Hey, Stacy, doesn't that give you an idea?"

Chase and Michael's faces faltered, "Don't even— Um, is this right time to say 'I Love You?'"

Courtney and Stacey had given Chase and Michael bear hugs and wet kisses. They were squirming as well.

"NOOOO!" Chase and Michael yelled in unison, as they laughed. "Sister germs!"

The three girls pulled away from their brothers and laughed, while the boys had disgusted looks on their faces. Zoey and Nicole let out small giggles, watching their boyfriends being chased by their older sisters. Chase and Michael feigned being hurt.

"I thought you loved me, Zo…"

"Yeah, you too, Nicole," Michael said, pretending to be hurt.

"We do," confirmed Zoey, while kissing Chase on the cheek. Nicole did that same with Michael.

"Okay, that was fun," Sammie said laughing, "but how do we get out of here, Dana? Since this is your head."

Dana thought for a moment. Bryan told her he would only go into his own mind for meditation purposes, and then come back.

"I know how to get out of here," Dana said, as eleven pairs of eyes were glued to her.


A/N: YAY! Glenn is dead and Chase and Zoey are happy. We know where Glenn's cousin is too, so it's a happy ending. I know exactly how to end this story, and no more writer's block so expect the next update much quicker.

I'm so happy and now I'm off to work on Eternally Yours and Hollywood Rivalries. They're finally going to get out of Dana's mind and are going back to the abandoned warehouse. Sadly, just about 4 more chapters and the story will come to an end. Thanks for all of the reviews I've received…almost 160 reviews. I love all of you.

Continue to keep those reviews coming…
