Chapter 5
A/N: Hey guys sorry for disappearing after the double update, high school stuff lol. SO here's chapter 5. Hold onto your seats 'because it's gonna get a little intense. J
"Please have a seat." Dr. Smith motioned to the small eating table in the centre of the room. Tobias and I looked at each other and sat down slowly.
"As I explained to Tobias earlier, there will be four of you staying here. Obviously you two know each other and I will admit the other two who are joining us, you know as also."
My heart dropped. Instantly I thought to my siblings, Cody and Prim. Prim was only twelve, I don't want her here. She needs to try and be more human than supernatural. Not near these people. Ever. Cody's 17 so he'd be able to handle himself but I'd rather not have to be isolated with my brother and Tobias (aka his best friend).
"Are we related to any of them?" Tobias asked, interrupting my thoughts. He didn't have any siblings so I knew he was thinking about mine.
"No, Emily Jo neither your sister nor brother will be joining us. They only wanted one Souza child so, I'm guessing they chose the one with the most room to be changed and helped." Dr. Smith explained.
So they had been watching us. The way Dr. Smith spoke, it was obvious.
The most room to be changed and helped.
They must've seen how tough my dad is on me and how much I argue with him. They must think he pushes me too hard to be like him and I don't want to. That I would be willing to become like them instead.
Dr. Smith was watching me carefully. I kept my face neutral and nodded my head.
"Why am I here?" Tobias questioned. I had been wondering the same thing earlier.
"Well Tobias, you have a connection to E-"Dr. Smith was interrupted when one of her guards came walking in.
"We have the witch," He said, "she's conscious."
"Ok, bring her in." Dr. Smith instructed. The man nodded and left the room.
Who's a witch other than Aunt Tori?
The answer came to me the same time as she walked through the door. Daire. She looked alarmed when she saw us.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" Daire asked.
"Now Daire, no need to use that language. They are here for the same reason as you. To let your powers grow and we can help mold them." Dr. Smith coolly explained.
"Let our powers grow? Couldn't that happen, you know, with us free?!" Daire started glancing at Tobias and I suspiciously, "why are they free? Why do I have a bodyguard? You do know they could probably kill you." If we were going to get out of here, we needed to be calm. And Daire was definitely not calm.
"We've agreed not to kill anyone. Signed with our blood and everything." Tobias sarcastically said. Daire flipped in off not caring Dr. Smith sat, watching her. Dr. Smith seemed shocked and was about to scold her, when someone called her name.
"Cato." Tobias whispered to me and my eyes widened. Of course. So far three out of four of our group was here.
I leapt out of my chair, with Tobias and Daire on my heels. As soon as I turned the corner, I stopped dead in my tracks. Tobias stopped beside me but Daire ran into my other shoulder. When she saw him she made a choking noise. There lay Cato in a crumpled ball, eyes open, staring at us.
Cato was dead.
