Okay, I've got some review replies to hand out:

ArkariansGirl: Chloe's first mentioned in The Named, but she's mentioned slightly throughout the series, sort of as a random person you see in movies. Thanks for the review!

potter-me-: Don't worry, I'm not killing Vanessa…yet…just kidding. I won't kill her at all. I wouldn't kill a character that belongs to one of my readers, I promise you that. But I'm not promising that I won't kill someone, cuz I don't know if I will or not.

I only do review replies for those who use anonymous reviews. If it's signed, I'll just reply using FanFiction. Anyway, enjoy this chapter! It will be slightly different than the others, but not by much. I'm nearing the end of this fic, I can feel it. I don't know how many more chapters I'll make, but I promise to let you know when the last chapter is.

Chapter 17

Kyle

"If you really love me," Leanie says, standing in front of me, "then kiss me."

I shudder. So far I've been able to keep myself alive by playing along, but if I go this far, I don't know what to do when Clara and the others come. Of course, Clara hates me, so she won't mind at all. Will she? Girls are so confusing. Taking a deep breath, I go to kiss her against my will. Thankfully, the door slams open just in time. One of the Order soldiers comes in.

"What is it now?" Leanie demands.

"Please, miss, there's an emergency in the cafeteria," he says, panting.

Leanie sighs before following him out the door.

XXXXXXXX

Isabel

I manage to pull myself together long enough to fully heal Vanessa, and as she gets up, I fall back down. Ethan catches me, since Arkarian is holding Kiara. I stand myself up and watch as Jacob realizes Vanessa is awake. He grips her in a huge hug, which she returns. I smile, and so does mostly everyone, but Clara just gets even more anxious.

"Okay, Vanessa's better, now can we please go rescue Kyle?"

I look at first Arkarian, then Matt, who both nod.

"Hold on," Hermione says. "We still don't know where they're keeping him."

"She's right," Neriah agrees. "And we can't very well look in all the possible places, because that would take forever."

"There has to be a way to find him!" Clara says, and I can tell that she's close to tears. "I don't want to think about what might happen if we don't."

Her words make a hush fall over us all. Eventually, Rochelle breaks the silence. "I think I know where they took him."

XXXXXXXXX

Kyle

Leanie comes back, stomping in the room. "Lousy vending machine…just because one of the things in it won't come out doesn't make it an emergency…"

She looks at me. "Now, where were we? Oh yeah, you were about to kiss me."

Damn. I was hoping she'd forgotten about that. I lean in again, and the door flies open once more.

She screams in frustration. "Can't you people just leave us alone?"

The Order soldier looks uncomfortable. "Um…I'm sorry…it's just that there are some intruders on the front lawn."

"WHAT?" she yells, storming out.

XXXXXXXXXX

Clara

"Are you sure it's here?" I ask Rochelle, and she shakes her head.

"No, I'm not, but I have a pretty good idea that this is where it is."

We're standing on the front lawn of Leanie Hall's house. As if to answer my question, a whole bunch of Order soldiers come running out from the front door, followed by Leanie herself.

"Okay, I guess you were right."

We run towards them too, and I decide to save most of my power in case it's really needed. I let it out in small gusts of wind, which are still quite big. I see Jacob throwing fire at some random people, and have a great idea. I make my way over to him, and call to him.

"Hey, Jacob," I say, "Doesn't fire need air to spread?"

He nods, wondering where I'm going with this. "Let your hands get covered in flames, and hold them out in front of you," I instruct. He does so, and I create a nice, strong current heading for his hands. Once it hits there, I yell for him to help me direct the power to the nearest Order members, and he does. Together, we create a sort of blowtorch. Wherever he points his hands is where the giant flame goes. Unfortunately, the more Order members we burn, the more that come out from in the house.

Finally, I've had enough of this. I withdraw my power from his, directing him to stand behind me. I send the message to the other Truthseers, and they tell the people closest to them. Eventually, all those on our side are behind me. I let out all of my power, and feel myself lift into the air. I create a giant windstorm, and ask Arkarian in my thoughts to get Jacob to direct a line of flame into the wind, which he does. Just as we created a sort of blowtorch last time, we create another one, but bigger this time. It sweeps over all the Order members, and starts burning the house too. As I watch it do this, I realize that Kyle's probably in there. With that thought, I bring the power back to myself and lower my body back to the ground, slowly. Once I've touched down, I run inside, ignoring the warnings of everybody else.

Okay, this chapter is done. See my awesomely pro blowtorch idea? I got that right after I wrote the fight scene with Lathenia and Voldemort, but realized that if I were to use it, I'd have to make another fight scene. And so I did, and it helped to make my fic longer! Yay me! Review!
