Author's note: Hey guys! Thanks for deciding to read my second book of The Outcasts series. If you haven't read my first book its ok. There's no cliff-hangers or dramatic, "What?! How could you!". Of course, if you read the first book then you'll see a little bit of Mason's and Vivian's lovey-dovey rivalry. Of course in the first book the main characters are different, but this is all a different plot too so... yah. Oh! And to the people who did read it, I started the book at the part when they all kind of separated in the hallways looking for the captive girls. Except Mason and Vivian didn't split up they went to look together. I know right? Cute. And I realized that, in my first book, I didn't mention everyone's power. So I'll try to do that in this one. Enjoy! oh and review. Please, Please, review.

Chapter 1

Prologue

There is a secret organization, one that no one knows about. It helps people in need, the ones that can't be heard, can't be seen, the ones that no one seems to notice or care about. These people are outsiders, invisible, you might say. And this organization helps these people by getting rid of bullies, helping them become popular, destroying (not literally) unfair and cruel teachers, all the while being invisible themselves. They don't care if you can't see them- that's their greatest strength. They don't care if they aren't popular- that's the reason they stay invisible. There is only one way to join this group, that's if you are invisible as well. They are disguised as any other ordinary club, in the journalism room, they are newspaper reporters. I know what your thinking- why be reporters when they are trying to be invisible? Won't that destroy their cover? Well I can answer that question, it is because in the past, on one of their famous unknown missions, they have learned that, sometimes to be invisible you have to be in plain sight. These people call themselves The Outcasts, not a very good name, I know. But it'll have to do, for now. I am Vivian Willow, and this is the story of how I reluctantly fell in love with my rival, Mason Ryder.

Chapter 1

As Mason and I was walking down the hall looking for a kidnapper who may or may not have killed three girls, Mason was playing with a piece of paper, having it float in the air. I wasn't surprised, because his power was to have the ability to levitate things. Not as deadly, but can be very useful in missions like this one.

"So I was thinking, do you want to go to that new zombie movie after this, it starts at ten," he said tossing the paper from side to side now.

"Sure, I haven't seen a movie in a while," I said stretching, "But you're buying,"

He smiled, "I suppose, but you're getting the popcorn, and the pop,"

"Ok then it's settled, which theater is it in,"

"The one at the mall, there the cheapest," then he paused, "even the popcorn and pop,"

"Figures," I said putting my hands in my pocket.

"Yah," he said sighing.

Just then there was a crash and a scream, I look over at Mason and he looks at me, obviously we had the same idea. We smile to ourselves as we run down the hall to where the commotion was.

"Kristen!" we hear Zaine yell down the hallway.

We walk into the room where Zaine and Kristen was. And unfortunately, a big huge monster was holding her in his giant clawed hand. A Declan.

"Get the other girls out!" she yelled, struggling with the monster.

"Guys grab them!" Zaine yelled to us, running towards the monster. I look around the room to find two other girls lying on the ground. One of them I could see was Grace, lying on the ground, the ropes that was around her were halfway untied. I decided I would untie them later and picked her up and zoomed out of the room to the journalism room. I knew that Mason was grabbing the other girl and was following me out of the room.

When I get to the room I set the girl down and start to untie her ropes. Mason sets the other girl down and does the same as me.

"Go get the other girl, she was standing by the windows," I ordered Mason and pause, "take Chris with you, you may have some trouble with her because she's awake,"

"Kay," Mason said before he zoomed off.

I sigh, setting Grace on the chair so I could rearrange her mind so she can forget everything that has happened, with the monster and us.

Mason's POV (point of view)

I zoom into the room, heading straight for the girl, Chris and I stopped in front of her only to find that her eyes looked... dead, no surprise, because the monster that was in the room, a Declan, had the power to control people.

We hurriedly pick her up and take her to the classroom. When we got there, Vivian was already working on the other girl and Grace was fast asleep on the floor. I couldn't help myself, I stared at Vivian and saw the concentration in her eyes whenever she does her mind arrangement.

"Hey do you guys think that you can pick up the monster remains, I think I'm just going to stay here just in case Vivian needs any help," I said sitting on a desk near her, watching her as she did the rearranging. Chris and Brooklyn exchanged a look and they chuckled, "What?" I asked, looking at them.

"Nothing. We'll go clean up the monster while you stay here and stare, have fun," Brooklyn said as they both went out the door.

I sighed and looked down at Vivian, and I couldn't help but let my eyes soften as I stared at her. She looked so beautiful and fearless, her eyes the most amazing shade of green, her lips full and they looked so soft, what I wouldn't do just to kiss them. I knew what I was thinking could only be a fantasy, but I couldn't help but hope. Her hair was so dark it was almost black, but if you look close enough, which could hardly be possible but if you can, then you can see the brown highlights in her hair. The pink strip in her hair brings out the color of her lips making the temptation harder to control.

Suddenly I felt something, the urge that she was about to be finished, and I hurriedly zoom to the window. Five seconds later she stood up and sighed, and looked up at me.

"Where's Chris and Brooklyn?" she asked grabbing the other girl, the one that was under the Declan's control. I went over and helped her place the girl on the chair.

"They went to clean up the Declan remains, they wanted me to stay here just in case you needed any help," I lied, not wanting to say anything that would embarrass me.

"I see," she said and sat back down on the chair getting ready for the next girl, "I'm going back in, it's gonna take a while on this one considering she was the one that was under control, what time is it?"

"It's almost nine," I said looking at my phone.

"Good then we got time to spare," she said and looked into the girl's dead eyes and I watched as she went into a blank concentrated stare herself.

I sighed and went into the hallway to the vending machine and got her and I a water bottle, I figured she'd be thirsty after her rearranging minds and all. I go back into the room and slipped the two water bottles back in my bag. I sat next to her and stared at her again, this time imagining what'd it'd be like if she loved me. Probably nothing would really change except I wouldn't have to hide my feelings, and then I'd be able to kiss her and… well, that's probably something I shouldn't describe. But at least we'd probably be able to sleep in the same room and I wouldn't have to sleep in the room that's all the way down the hall. And best of all, I wouldn't have to hide the fact that I stare at her while she rearranges minds. Or maybe I could keep it a secret, I thought, she'd probably get mad if she found out that I stare at her.

I put my head in my hands, what am I thinking, she doesn't love me. She went on dates before.

But so have you, I thought to myself, you only went out with other girls because you wanted to forget her. Maybe she dates other guys because she wants to forget the fact that she loves you too. But what if she doesn't!?

I sigh again and look back at her and felt my worries melt away. I could always make her fall in love with me. It might be hard but…

Suddenly I had the feeling that I was being watched, I look toward the door and I see Chris and Brooklyn exchange another look.

"What?" I asked again.

"You look… frustrated," Chris said walking into the room with Brooklyn and they both sat down on their double sized bean bag.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said looking back at Viv while Chris places his arm over Brooklyn.

"Whatever you gotta tell yourself, I'm taking a nap," Chris said closing his eyes, and I snort, and Brooklyn sighs.

I stare at Vivian while Brooklyn doesn't say anything, letting her lover fall to sleep. We stayed like this until Kristen and Zaine walked through the door.

"Hi guys," Brooklyn said smiling, "we cleaned up the Declan remains, Zaine,"

"Good… Mason? You're drooling," Zaine said with a smile. Which got Brooklyn and Kristen laughing, unfortunately.

My hand instantly flew to my chin, "Haha, very funny," I said realizing that he was just being cocky. Then I felt the urge again that Viv was almost done, and I zoomed to the other side of the room. Five seconds later Vivian sighed and stood up to go sit down in her usual spot.

"So what'd I miss?" She asked, obviously tired.

"Nothing much," I said coolly, sitting down next to her.

"Mason was drooling," Brooklyn piped in, and I gave her a death glare.

"Really?" Vivian said suddenly looking amused or maybe interested, looking at me, "over what?"

"Nothing," I said, trying to think up of an excuse before she realized that I was staring at her, "Just over the blood tablets in my mind, I'm kind of thirsty,"

"Oh," Vivian said, sounding tired again, sitting back in her seat. Or maybe… was she disappointed? No she couldn't have been.

"Anyways," Brooklyn said clapping her hands, waking Chris up, "Sorry… I think it's time to go home. Remember, some of us still have our parents for the next few decades so…"

"Right! Sorry about that, and it's already nine, let's get you home," Zaine said, pushing Kristen out the door while we were all getting up to leave.

"Wait so, none of you guys have your parents?" Kristen asked us started walking down the hall.

"Yah, all of ours died either from wars or sickness," Brooklyn said squeezing Chris's hand, "We all kind of live separately, except Chris and I and… Viv and Mason."

"You guys live together?" Kristen asked Vivian and me, raising her eyebrows.

"Well yah, but not in the same room like Chris and Brooklyn do," I said looking at the ceiling, trying not to blush.

"We don't live in the same room, we just sleep in the same room," She said then she stopped, as if to realize what she said, "I mean, um,"

"Brooklyn," Chris said rubbing his eyes.

"I mean we actually sleep as in the verb, oh wait um,"

"Brooklyn,"

"I mean we don't… I mean we do, but what I was talking about…"

"Brooklyn!"

"What?" she asked him.

"They get it," Chris said.

Vivian and I were laughing now, laughing so much that we were crying even. Zaine was chuckling and Kristen looked like she was trying not to burst of laughter. I could tell that Brooklyn and Chris were trying very hard not to just run out right then and there. Which made me start into another burst of laughter.

"How about we get going?" Kristen asked Zaine, motioning to the door.

"Yah we don't want to keep Chris and Brooklyn up past their bedtime, they probably won't be able to get to sleep tonight," I said, sending both Vivian and I into another burst of laughs.

"Guys!" Zaine said and we tried to get our laughs under control.

"Sorry, Brooklyn," Vivian said.

Soon, both Zaine and Kristen left to take her home. And Brooklyn and Chris went off to do who knows what. Leaving me and Viv to wait a whole another hour for our movie to start.
