"Why couldn't this happen when we were in school." Reid complained.
"At least we will be out before New Years." Tyler said.
"What happens on new year's?" I asked.
"We all go up to Boston and party." Reid told me. I nodded.
"Is it anything like on the islands?" I asked Caleb and he shook his head and laughed.
"No that's madness, this is just partying."
"Madness?" Reid asked looking at me.
"You give Hawaiians fireworks." I said shrugging my shoulders. Every holiday we l've to celebrate. We just love to have fun. We talked for a while longer. I eventually went up to my room and let the boys talk. I went up to my room and lied down on my bed. I eventually fell asleep. I felt someone sit down near me. I sat up and saw Reid sitting down on my bed.
"Dinner, sleepy head." He said smiling.
"What are we having?"
"Pasta, after a long time boiling the water, and making sure the pasta is perfect. We have dinner." I got up and we walked down stairs and into the kitchen. We all ate dinner, when we were done, Caleb hooked up the portable DVD to the generator. I had no say in what movie we were going to watch. They eventually decided on Brave heart. I fell asleep half way through the movie. When I woke up, Reid was carrying me up to my room. Before I knew what I was doing, I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck. My lips resting just below his ear. He laid me down on my bed, he placed me under the covers and tucked me in. Before he left he kissed my forehead. When he turned away I smiled. He had no clue that I was awake. As he was leaving, I listened in to his thoughts.
"I wonder if she feels the same way about me, as I feel about her." I did. I wanted to tell him that, I knew I couldn't. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I was in a solid concrete room. I was tied up, my arms were chained above my head. I was trying to escape. I had been caught, I wasn't going to make it to my 18th birthday. There were few who did. I saw him walk into the room, alone.
"Liliuokalani, I am so sorry. I had to do it. They gave me no choice."
"Jared you always have I choice." He was my best friend. Even after he knew that he was sent to kill those like me, Even after he swore to kill all those like me.
"Not this time." He said. I could tell that he was angry with them, the trackers. He walked over to me.
"I am so sorry. But I have to." I nodded, trying to hold back the tears, accepting my fate. He placed his hand over my heart. He looked at me, eyes black. I felt my powers, my life being sucked away from me. As my eyes slowly closed, the only thing I could think of was. What if I had told Caleb about me when I first knew I was marked.

I jolted up in bed. Cold sweat all over me. I thought about my dream. Jared would never kill his best friend, would he? Had I been marked? I got up and ran to the closest bathroom that was near my room. I lifted up my hair and looked to the back of my neck. There it was. The Japanese character for marked. I had only seen it once. When I was younger, my babysitter was marked. The trackers have a similar one, theirs says tracker. I tried rubbing the symbol off, it wouldn't work, no matter how hard I tried. As calmly as I could I silently walked down the stairs, careful not to wake Reid or Tyler up. I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. I was trembling, I had less than a month to live. The only person who could calm me down was going to kill me. I tried to figure out where they had found me. I didn't tell any of my friends where I was going, I just told them I was leaving. I didn't tell my friends who had ability like mine. I rested my head on the table, thinking about what I was going to do. I felt fingertips brush against the back of my neck. I closed my eyes involuntarily.

I was being dragged from my room.

I sat up and turned around. Reid was staring at me.

"When did you get that?" He asked me.

"Your not going to believe me if I tell you."

"Try me" He said, I had a feeling that he would understand.

"Just now." I said and he nodded.

"Can I see it again?" I pulled my hair to the side and showed him that I had been marked. "I have seen something like that before. It looks so familiar." He told me. I got up and walked to get a glass of water. "Sara has one similar to that." He said and I dropped the glass in my hand. She was a tracker, she was the one who reported me. I cleaned up the glass as Reid mopped up the water. Surprisingly no one in the house woke up because of the glass.

"Come on." I told him. We walked up to my room. I sat down on my bed and he sat down next to me.

"Think something totally random." I said. I went into his mind.

"'I broke my leg when I was ten'" He thought and I started laughing.

"You broke your leg when you were ten?"

"You said random, so that was the first thing I thought about." He paused, thinking about what I just said. "You read my thoughts."

"Yeah, it's my ability." I told him and he just nodded.
