A/N: I don't own anything.
"As
long as I can remember, I have had the ability to read minds. My
mother told me I always had to be careful, never fully trust anyone.
There were people out there who wanted my power. Legend has it, There
was a hidden war, between us and them, the trackers. We eventually
won the war. They were sent to live on the island of Niihau. In the
early 1900's majority of them escaped. Moved all over the Hawaiian
islands, others went to the mainland. We have been hunted ever since.
If you live past 18 you can never be killed, or harmed in any way.
It's very rare that you don't get caught. They have powers that take
ours away."
"What is their power?" He asked
me.
"They suck your power and life from you, it's like
torture. Their eyes turn black."
"How do you know
that?"
"From what I saw. Tonight, I saw myself being
killed by one of them. One of them found me, I believe it is Sara.
You said that she has a tattoo similar to mine." He nodded.
"Yeah. I had never asked about it."
"The
trackers have a choice, they can either take vows to kill our kind,
or they are erased of their memory and sent to live with another
family. Now that I have been found, they won't stop hunting me until
I'm dead, or I'm 18."
"wow." Was all he could say.
"Sara must have reported me. She knew that I could read
minds. That would explain why she was trying to make me mad at her.
She was trying to make me leave!" I placed my head in my hands
and shook my head. Reid placed his arms around me. I was shocked. She
was trying to make me leave. She couldn't flat out tell me that she
was a tracker. She couldn't. It was one of their vows they had to
take.
"When is your birthday?"
"January
10." I told
him. Then it hit me, I had 13 days to live. I began to cry softly.
"Shh." He whispered in my ear. Trying to get me to calm
down. He adjusted me so that I was sitting on his lap. " I'll
keep you safe. I promise."
"How can you? They will kill
you too."
"I can't tell you now, but you can trust me."
I nodded. He kissed my hair and my neck, doing everything he could to
calm me down.
"Its late, you need sleep. Well get things
situated in the morning." I got up off of him and went back
under the covers. "Would you mind if?" He asked in a voice
so soft. I nodded. He climbed into bed next to me. I curled up next
to him, he wrapped his arm around me. I just laid there, his arm
wrapped tighter and tighter around my waist. Almost in anger.
"Reid." I said. He released his grip slightly.
"Sorry."
When I woke up in the morning, I was
alone. I sat up and looked around. He must have gone downstairs. I
changed into a pink t shirt and jeans and I walked down stairs. Reid,
Tyler and Caleb were all sitting at the kitchen table.
"Why
didn't you tell us about this before?" Caleb yelled looking at
me. Reid sighed and his face looked of guilt.
"Because we
would be in this exact situation. You yelling at me."
"Okay."
he said in a caller voice. "Tell us everything you told Reid."
I told them everything, but I didn't tell him about Sara.
"Caleb can I use your phone?" I asked him the next
day.
"Sure." he said handing me his phone. "Why do
you need it?"
"I need to call Sara."
"No."
Reid said taking the phone from me.
"It's just a phone call.
Nothing will happen." I grabbed the phone and called her.
"Hey." she said
"Sara." I replied.
"Kaha
'ia." I told her then I hung up the phone. I noticed that they
were all paying attention to my phone. A few minutes later Reid and
Tyler left. I walked up the stairs and took a long warm shower. I
changed into a black t shirt and dark jeans. We drove to pick up
Sara. The entire car ride was silent. We got to Nicky's. I walked
in and went over to the pool tables, where Reid and Tyler were.
"Long time no see." Reid said and I nodded. I noticed
that Kate wasn't there, and Caleb and Pouge were playing foosball. I
walked over to Sara and sat down next to her.
"I am so
sorry. I didn't report you. I knew that you were Caleb's cousin. My
brother is visiting. When he saw you, he reported you immediately."
She finished before Caleb walked over. Everyone in our group came
over and sat down. Reid sat down next to me, Protective like. We ate
and talked. Just as we were about to leave, two guys walked through
the door. One had blonde
hair and blue
eyes, the other one had Brown eyes and hair. He looked so familiar to
me. I felt a hand on my shoulder. The entire room froze. I turned
around and looked towards Caleb and Sara. She looked worried.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"They are here
for you." Sara said slowly.
"We are going to try and
convince them that you left." Caleb said. "Reid is going to
take you somewhere and hide." I nodded wrapping my arms around
Reid. I went into his mind. 'close your eyes.' He told me and I
closed my eyes.
