Authors Note: Hey everyone. Thanks for reviewing my story I have a new Oneshot called I chose you posted up and would like people to review on it. It's a single chapter based from the characters of this story, but has nothing to do with the story line. Reviews would be great.


Chapter 57

"Nathan," Keira said from the doorway, "We're here."

I looked up at her and saw the rest of her flock was with her. There were two kids, aged about ten to twelve years old, they looked to be twins, but I wasn't sure. A girl, about the age of fifteen or sixteen, stood behind them as if watching over them. She turned her head in my direction when Keira spoke and for a moment I saw a glimpse of her eyes and it gave me the chills. Those eyes looked just like an Erasers. I saw them for a brief second and then they were gone, but it still unnerved me. Standing next to Keira was another member of her flock. He stood protectively by her side, but never said anything. He had short, light brown hair and dark green eyes, those eyes looked at me as if looking down at someone who was inferior to him. I took an immediate dislike to that guy. Standing at the back was the final member, he had mop like silver hair and seemed to be the quietest of the lot.

"This is Ryan," Keira continued, pointing to the guy I didn't like, "then there is the twins Derek and Courtney. That's Sierra and the one at the back is Aaron, he was born mute, but he can still talk."

"Let me guess," I said, "Telepathic? Dean is as well."

Really? Aaron said speaking for the first time since I saw him, well that's interesting. He's able to hide it well.

"Then there is Cassandra," I continued, pretending like I hadn't heard Aarons comment, "She's a Pyro, you want explosions, she's the one to go to."

"Now that the introductions are over," Ryan said, "What's this plan of yours? Keira gave us an outline, but we'll need details."

"Fine," I replied, "During my stay at Haven, I was able to getting my hands on the blueprints of the facility."

"So where are they now?" Ryan asked.

"In my head," I replied, "I'm not stupid enough to try and make a copy of the blueprints, they could have found that. With the recent outbreak of captives from the place, they should still be constructing a new wall in the dormitories. Three people will get in that way and cause a diversion, releasing the remaining experiments, perhaps trashing the labs. Cass and one or two other person are going in through the front door, we're still looking for volunteers that want to cause massive damage to the whitecoats living quarters. Keira, you and one person will be accompanying me into the heart of Haven, that's where they keep what I'm looking for, plus I have a score to settle with the Whitecoat in charge."

"You sure like to take care of things," Sierra said, "Sure it's not a personal reason."

"It's as personal as it gets," I replied, "I used to be human until he decided to change me, then he made my brother an Eraser. My sister died during the transformation, my brother was killed by my own hands. So yeah, I'd like to thank him for ruining the family by paying him back the favor he did to me."

"Kind of like what they did to you," Derek said, "Right Keira?"

"So did you meet him personally?" Keira asked.

"Meet him personally?" I asked, then cracked a smile, "Man, you have no idea. I was his son, but his research is more important than his family. Same deal with my mother. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have parents."

"Then how do we know we can trust you?" Ryan asked.

"Because," I replied, "If I was working for them, I could have killed you three times by now, but haven't. Trust me, my father is really ticked off, he doesn't care if you are bought back dead or alive. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I want to stick a bullet in his head for what he did to Laura."

"Laura this and Laura that," Keira replied, "Nathan keep your head on the mission."

Sounds like someone is jealous, Aaron replied, take it easy on him Keira, he's in love with her, besides I like him. Why is it we've been in hiding the entire time we're free, yet it takes him, a former Human, to come up with a plan to strike back?

"Because I've been trying to keep you guys alive," Keira replied.

"Sounds like not everyone agrees with you, Keira," I said, "Maybe you should listen to them more often. Now getting back on topic, anything you guys need to ask questions about?"

"Yeah," Sierra replied, "How do we get near the place without anyone seeing us?"

"That's simple," I replied, "I can use my powers to shroud us in darkness so we won't be seen by anyone."

"When will the attack begin?" Ryan asked.

"Sunset," I replied, "It's too close to dawn now. My powers are at their weakest during the day unless I'm close to dark areas."

Chapter 58

Keira left soon after they finished talking. She couldn't be around anyone right now, not right at that moment. Why is it that he keeps bringing out the jealousy and anger all the time? She thought, I always feel so lost around him, always unsure of myself. Why? Why does he make me feel that way? I can't do this anymore, I can't take care of the flock, not the way I am. They'd be better off without me now. They like him better… and there's Laura. Everything is about Laura now. I thought she was dead, that I could get on with my life and now she's here, taking away everything I hold dear. I hate her!

"I hate her," Keira whispered, coming to a stop and resting her head against the wall. A single tear began to fall down her face. "I hate her; she's taking everything away from me."

Keira placed her back against the wall, her wings held tight against her back and sat on the floor, her head resting on her knees and began to cry. She hadn't cried since her sister died, since she was forced to kill Dawn. All this did was remind her of all that again. There was laughter from back down the hall. It seemed all of them were getting along, but the tension was still there. She couldn't take it anymore, not facing all her emotions again. She had been running from them too long and she was too afraid to face them now. She pushed herself up off the ground and began to run down the corridor, but a hand grabbed hers.

"What's wrong, Keira?" Ryan asked her, "What's going on?"

"Just leave me alone," Keira said, "Just go away."

"I won't let you run again, Keira," Ryan said, "You run away too much."

"Just leave," Keira replied, "Let me run. Just go and leave like everyone else has!"

"Do what you want, Keira," Ryan replied, "I'm not going to stop you. But is it what you want to do?"

"I don't know what I want, Ryan," Keira replied, "I honestly don't know."

"You need to make a choice, Keira," Ryan replied, "I don't like Nathan, but perhaps that's because he reminds me of me, is willing to do anything to keep the ones he cares for safe. But he's reckless; he hasn't been like us for as long as us. He said he was once human. Also he's Andrew Corway's son. Can we trust him?"

"He's genuine," Keira replied, "I can tell by the look in his eyes. I know it too well. I used to have that look. I still have it. It's where you're empty inside, where you have nothing left. But Nathan is different, he has Laura."

"It sounds like you are jealous of him, Keira," Ryan replied, "Are you?"

"Yeah," Keira replied, "I think I am. He's got life much simpler than we do. I think what bothers me the most is how close they are."

"It's not how close all of them are," Ryan replied, "Is it? It's how close Nathan and Laura are. You have feelings for him, don't you?"

"I guess my clone got one thing right," Keira replied, "Same taste in guys. I admit, I feel physically attracted to him, but beyond that? I don't know."

"It's best to forget about him," Ryan replied, "Just focus on getting revenge on the ones who keep hunting us down. Focus on giving the whitecoats heck."

"Gee," Keira replied sarcastically, "Thanks for the tip."

It'll be harder than you think, Ryan, Keira thought, a lot harder. She stood up from off the ground and wiped the tears from her face. I hate being insecure, Keira thought, but Nathan just… he just gets to me. Am I that attracted to him? Forget him Keira, he's not worth it.

"Let's go back," Keira said, "I think it's time I got to re-connect with the flock. I think I've been trying to keep them safe for so long that I forgot to have fun with them, especially Derek and Courtney."

"Yeah," Ryan replied, "They've been missing the old you. The one that read them bedtime stories, that played games with them. You need to show your soft side once in a while, Keira."

"I'll remember that," Keira replied, "It's been a long time since I was that girl."

Well that's that crisis over, Keira thought, at least for now. Now what about this finale I was planning for Haven?

"Hey Ryan," Keira replied, "Do you know where I can find a large amount of explosives?"

"Nathan did say to go to Cass for explosions," Ryan replied, "I may not like him, but if Cass is a Pyro, we could make things interesting."

"Now there's an idea," Keira replied, smiling, "I wonder if she can do what I think she can…"
