A/N: Hey guys :) So sorry it has been so long, This chapter isnt so great, sorry about that. Hope you guys are good and I hope you enjoy. Thank you so much for reading my story!

Third POV:

His heart refused to start again. The room was a mass panic, with Tom standing over watching his eldest child die, Ben hugging the young pure Matt, both siblings having tears spilling down their faces and Maggie standing in the corner with her hands held to her chest as if her heart was stopping too.

20 minutes later..

Tom Mason sat in an uncomfortable plastic chair in the hospital in the New United States of America, staring down at his hands he thought of what his life was like before the aliens before everything went to hell. He had a beautiful wife that he loved intensely, together they had three children who were all very different but all loved each other. Life was perfect but then the aliens took over and we were left to become fighters. We turned innocent children into fighters, they were meant to grow up going to school, playing sports and going on dates but instead they are using gun and becoming killers. Hal, or whatever was controlling him, had said some horrible stuff to him, he knew that it was not Hal saying that. Hal had killed three people, i still couldn't wrap my head around it. It wasn't Hal it wasn't him. Oh how he missed Rebecca, she would've said something wonderful and we would've carried on surviving. But the longer Tom thought about the life they were all living now the more he saw that it was going to be so difficult to win and that they were going to have to sacrifice a lot of things to do so.

Ben Mason sat against a wall in a hallway somewhere in Charleston, his knees up against his chest, his arm around his younger brother Matt and his thoughts running wild. He thought back to when he first woke up after his harness was removed, his father and two brothers were sitting by him and waiting for him to awaken. He cared for his family so much and would do anything for them even if the did not agree most of the time, while he was working and helping the rebel skitters Ben had to lie to his father and brothers and he wished he could take that back, he hated deceiving them but it was for the good of the planet. Ben and Hal hardly ever saw eye to eye but regardless they still cared and looked out for each other, they were still brothers after all. The thing that he wanted most in this world was to win this war and rebuild this destructed world, all with his family by his side.

Matt Mason sat next to Ben and stared straight ahead, trying not to think about Hal, forcing the tears to not fall. He loved his family, he needed them. Matt looked up at Ben and saw him staring at the door which was now opened, there stood their father. Tom went over to his two boys and crouched down in front of them and pulled them into a hug. Matt couldn't hold in the tears anymore and let all of the pain and sorrow out.

Maggie sat on her bed that she shared with Hal. Maggie just sat there, not moving just thinking. She thought about all the wonderful moments she had had with Hal Mason. First meeting him. Her joining the 2nd Mass and fighting with him. The morning they had sat on a branch and talked. lying in the car with him and laughing. Them talking outside the hospital. Their first kiss. Hal coming back for her even though she told him to leave her there. Hal sitting beside the hospital bed and watching over her while she fell asleep. Their second kiss. Hal accepting her troubled past. Every moment she spent with Hal Mason was special and she wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. Whatever that thing in Hal was it was wrong about what it had said. Maggie new Hal cared for her. He was so important to her. She needed him. She loved him.

Anne's POV:

I forced Maggie, Tom, Ben and Matt out of the room that Hal was in, i didn't want to but I had to help Hal and they needed time. Lourdes and I saved Hal. We got his heart to beat again but whatever happened to him was bad and we had to make sure that it did not happen again, so we strapped Hal down to the bed he was laying on. After an hour or so of running test and caring to other patients we left him so he could get some rest. There were guards outside the door armed and ready incase Hal or the overlord escaped or tried anything.

I went to see Tom, on the way getting Lourdes, Weaver, Maggie, Ben and Matt. We all sat and stood around in an empty meeting room.

"Okay, I think we just need to think about all that has happened." Tom suggested.

"Yeah, so at the warehouse Karen kissed Hal and he went unconscious. Then he came outside when the new aliens arrived and then passed out. Then when he woke up he said that he thought he was missing a part of his mind. Then he hurt Maggie. He spoke like like the overlord. He refused to see anyone. He said hurtful things to Maggie. Then he controlled ben like the skitters or overlords do. Talked like the overlord again. Attacked Tom. Talked like the overlord then changed back to Hal. Hal freaked out at Maggie being in the room. Thought his mother was alive. Killed three people. Was going to kill himself. Talked like the overlord again. Then his heart stopped."I said

"I don't mean to point out the obvious but we are in some serious trouble." Ben said.

"Anne, have you run any scans for a eye bug or something?" Tom questioned.

"Yes I did. We should get the results soon. The problem is if it doesn't show up then what are we going to do? We don't know what we are dealing with here. When Tom had the bug in his eye it only got information it did not control him and it definitely didn't make him seem like the overlord. So what's our next move?"

"We could go to the rebel skitters and ask them what they know." Ben suggested.

"Sounds good. Right now we need to deal with Hal and the people he kil- it killed." Weaver put in.

Tom's POV:

Once we had dealt with everything I went for a walk to relax my mind when I saw her... Karen. She was just standing at the end of the road staring at me. There were no overlords or skitters with her, well not that i could see. She wasn't planning on fighting us. Then why was she here? She was here for Hal.

Not a great ending :/ Sorry bout that. PLEASE REVIEW it would mean so much to me. AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS OR SOMETHING THEY WANT ME TO PUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER/S PLEASE PLEASE MESSAGE OR REVIEW! X
