AN: As always thanks for the reviews. I apologize this wasn't up the next day like I promised but it's been a pretty busy week. Well here ya go.

CPOV

The prisoners came flooding out into the courtyard, with Derek in the lead. The guards quickly followed with their guns. They couldn't shoot in risk of shooting the audience. Magic filled the air. The prisoners were fighting back. They were rebelling. Just like I tried to get them to do.

The guards let go of me. And I fell to my feet. They ran to avoid getting hit by the beams of power. My fingers ached at the familiar buzz of magic. I jerked at my binds trying to free my hands to participate. Show them what I was really made of. Then I felt warm hands around mine, loosening the ropes. I whirled around and stumbled slightly. Derek caught me before I fell.

"Chloe, are you alright?" His green eyes full of worry as they assessed me.

"I'm fine," I replied coldly, jerking out of his grasp. Hurt flickered through his eyes.

He looked like he was about to say something but I jumped off the platform before he could. I ran into the crowd feeling my fingers spark. It was payback time.

DPOV

I knew what I had to do to stop them from killing Chloe. I ran down the too familiar hallways down to the 'dungeon.' A few prisoners glanced up when I entered.

"Guys," I shouted getting a few others attention. "I need your help." They all scowled at me.

"Why should we help you?" A distant voice said. "You're the reason we're here. You and all the other Government officials."

"Because I can get you out." I replied calmly. I was getting mad. I didn't have time to wait. I needed them now. But I guess I couldn't blame them.

Voices broke out everywhere. "He's lying." Someone said. Others answered in agreement.

"Why should we trust you?" A girl's voice asked. "You are one of Them." Something about the way she said the word them made it seem like a dirty word.

"Because my mom had magic too." I fidgeted; I didn't have time for this.

"Then why are you a Hunter?" She asked. I took a step in the direction of her voice.

"Because my father was. He didn't see me as anything other than a problem he had to deal with. So he stuck me in the training program. I wanted to do everything I could to make him proud. He was…' My voice faltered slightly as I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I swallowed them back and continued. "He was killed in fight against someone who had magic. The Hunters had taken my mom and magic had taken my dad. I was conflicted. So I continued to do what I had been trained and raised to do. I became a Hunter. But then I met… I realized how wrong I was. So now I need your all's' help in defeating the Hunters."

"What will we get in return?' The same girl asked.

'Your freedom." I continued on before she could respond. "I know that won't make up for years of killing you all. Years of being imprisoned or so many lost family members and friends. But if we can pull this off, we might be able to change things. This is the headquarters of the Government. If we rebel against the system, the Governor would have no choice but to change it. So who's with me?" I shouted the last bit, feeling really confident. People cheered around the prison. I pressed the release button and all the prison doors unlocked and swung open. A girl approached me.

"This is about Chloe isn't?" She asked. It was the girl who had been questioning me.

"Yes." I replied.

"Why do you want to help her?" She asked again, searching my face.

"Because I love her. And because I promised."

AN: I also hope you caught on to the fact that Derek's point of view was what had happened before the mass attack in the court yard. Hope you all liked it, only a few more chapters left and then it's over. That makes me so sad. I'm going to have to come up with other ideas. Happy reading!
