PETER
I took a deep breath, my chest burning with the effort. What happened? The last thing I remember was fighting with Syler…
"Claire?" I asked, my eyes now focusing on the girl in front of me. She had tear stains running down her face…
I was dead. Claire brought me back. Nathan rushed into the room, quickly followed by my mother. That's when I learned the news. The news that literally made me wish I was lying back on that table…
Claire is my niece.
My niece! Oh, it's just so wrong…
I begged Claire to shoot me if I started to explode. I really hope she can do it. I'm going to need her too.
Claire and I left. If we leave New York, then maybe I wont explode…and even if I do, she's the only one who can possibly stop it.
"I trusted you!" Claire's thoughts screamed at me as I pulled in to see Nathan. My heart broke. I don't want to lose her trust, or upset her, but Nathan is my brother, I know he'll help us.
"Nathan-" I heard his thoughts. "Claire was right."
I turned back to the car. Claire was gone. "Claire? Claire!" I was completely losing control. Where was Claire.
"Peter!" Nathan yelled.
I became invisible and ran out the door. Where was Claire? What could have happened to her?
"Oh God." I muttered as I saw my hands. They were glowing.
"Who is the hero now Peter?" Syler muttered as my hands started to glow. I just stared down. No this couldn't be happening….
Hiro appeared and rammed Syler threw with the sword. I looked at him. "Hiro, you can end this."
Syler sent Hiro flying and he disappeared.
That's when I saw Claire. She looked up from her father, then grabbed the gun and walked over to me. "Please don't make me do this." Claire begged, tears running down her face.
My heart broke once again. "Claire, you have too."
"No." She begged, still holding the gun to my head.
That's when Nathan showed up. He told me he wasn't going to leave me. "But you'll die."
He was going to do it anyway. I looked at him, then looked at Claire, who still had tears running down her face. I wanted so badly right then to tell her that I loved her. Her eyes met mine, then were ripped from me as Nathan took off.
