"Because, I have a brother too. Remember what I told you about the exchange." The phone clicked dead. And a small smile was forming on everyone's lips from Nick's words. ()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()

Devi's POV

I was surprised when I woke up so warm and comfortable, and I wondered what torture was in store for me this time. But when the warm thing I was leaning against shifted, I remembered that I had fallen asleep in Nick's arms. A light smile formed on my lips as I listened to his slow and calm breathing.

I felt his head lift off mine, but I could have sworn I felt his lips lightly brush my hair before he moved away. I opened my eyes, and turned my head to look at him. He looked down at me and flashed me a rare smile. His brown eyes were so soft and filled with kindness, and I felt the smile on my face grow.

"Hey." He whispered, not taking his eyes off mine.

"Hi." I responded, in the exact light tone he had.

"It is surprising that they didn't separate us in the night." I tried to think that over, but every thought seemed to go away and die when I was looking into his deep, darker-than-chocolate, eyes.

'But then again, we can still talk without being in the same room, so maybe they thought it was pointless to separate us.' He looked away from my eyes, and his trademark thoughtful and serious expression formed on his face. We sat in silence for a few minutes; I was trying to hold down my inner fan girl, and he looked like he was thinking about one of his songs.

'Hey, Nick?' He looked down at me. 'Umm, random question.' He nodded, and motioned me to continue. Your diabetes, shouldn't it be really bad right now? Or did it go away from one of the mutations?' I tried to make this sound nice; I knew some people could be touchy about these things. Silence answered my question, and I shifted around in his arms, so I was facing his face. His eyes looked distant, as he mulled it over, searching for an answer.

'I think so…I haven't been bothered by it at all since I got the purple…But I haven't thought about it much either.' I waited for him to continue, knowing something was still on his mind.

'It is gone, but for how long? Now, I can't keep this whole mutation thing a secret; my brothers will notice I am not taking insulin, and they will freak. How will I tell them that their brother is… ?'

'A what, Nick?' My voice was cold and indifferent. 'A freak, mutant, weirdo?' Welcome to the life only four people live, and two of which, actually have a heart.' I sighed at the pain and realization that I saw set in Nick's eyes. 'Look, if your brothers are even half as awesome and loving about family as stolen my magazines said, then they won't care that you are changed! They will accept it and help you through it! That is what family is for!'

He looked at me, and nodded in understanding. 'I know. One just gets afraid of rejection and losing those who love you.'

It was my turn to look down and away from his ever watchful eyes and to feel the pain and loneliness settle back into my chest. I felt Nick's concerned gaze, but ignored him. I stood up, and leaned against the wall, and did something I never thought I would ever do again after Jane died. I sang.

I'm Lost in the Eternal Night, Realizing you, Will never become my light, To lead me away, From the darkness I feel, I'm lost in the dark, Can anyone save me?

NICK'S POV

I listened to part of Devi's song, but it was not the words that inspired and touched me, but rather the emotion behind her sweet voice. Her voice reminded me of the first bird's song in the spring, of the light sound of rain on my roof at night, of the hypnotizing and alluring sound of crickets in a forest. And the emotion behind it was real and true. I could feel her sadness and heart break echo in the words she sang, and I watched as tears slowly started falling from her beautiful and pure eyes.

"Sorry." She whispered, as she wiped away her tears. I stood up, and gently lifted her head, so her mesmerizing eyes were starring into mine.

"For what?" I asked, my voice was almost silent. She shook her head, and I sighed. "Can you at least sing the rest of the song?" She looked at me, bewildered, but slowly nodded and took a breath. She closed her eyes and began softly:(Eternal Night, written by me…aka, the author)

Why didn't you say, that you were moving on? You could have saved me from a ton of pain, But you left me in the dark, Left lost in the pain of losing you, Cursed forevermore in my misery.

Lost in the Eternal Night I'm waiting for you, to become the light that reveals the path to set me free From all the feelings you forced on me.

(Oh, yeah,)

So, why did you say, that you wanted me? When all you wanted was to see my pain. Am I hurt enough for you? Can you hear my poor soul weeping? Another heart is lost to the darkness…

Lost in the Eternal Night I'm waiting for you, to become the light that reveals the path to set me free From all the feelings you forced on me.

(Oh, the feelings you forced on me!)

I'm Lost in the Eternal Night, Realizing you, Will never become my light, To lead me away, From the darkness I feel, I'm lost in the dark, Can anyone save me?

Devi looked at me while she was singing and I understood what she wanted.

*****Nick is singing only the chorus, Devi is singing what is in ()

Lost in the Eternal Night (holding "me") I'm waiting for you, (I'm waiting) to become the light (will you be my light?) That reveals the path (please set me free) to set me free sing: From all the feelings you forced on me.

***This last part is all Devi

(Oh, ho)

Can anyone save me? Save me from my Eternal Night...

By the end of the song, Devi was silently sobbing her heart out, and I pulled her close and lightly stroked her tangled brown hair. When she was composed enough to speak, my ripped shirt was thoroughly soaked with her tears. But I didn't mind.

"That song…it is not easy for me to sing…I wrote it after I was in this place for a month. It tells the story of my past, and how everyone I've ever loved has left me alone and in an even darker state of mind than I was in before…"

'It will be alright.' I thought to her. 'I won't leave you, I promise.' But instead of smiling, she just looked away, her eyes filled the sadness.

'That's what they all say…'

LAMIA'S POV

It was I who convinced my brother to let the two teens stay together. I told him that Nick would need a little blackmail to cooperate with tomorrow's plan. And he instantly agreed to that. I didn't want to use the girl as ransom for Nick, but it was the only way I could, once again, see a smile on the girl's face. Why do you even care about her, Lamia? She is just girl! You've met and killed more than your fair share, so why is this one special?

I looked at myself in the mirror, and frowned at my paper white hair. I had to make a disguise for myself for the exchange tomorrow. I concentrated, and I saw black run down my roots and flow through my hair, like ink, and I watched my eyes darken from gold to hazel. I made my fangs disappear, and I made my smile slightly less than perfect. Finally, I shrank about two inches, so I was Nick's height. And for show, I added a few wrinkles along my brow, making me look so much older than I am. Perfect, now even my brother can't complain about this change.

I turned my attention back to the camera that was in Nick's cell, and watched the way Nick pulled the crying girl into his arms, and stroked her hair so softly, that I doubted that she could even feel it. I smiled softly as I recognized the emotion in young Nicholas' eyes; love.

JOE'S POV

We were all packed into the JONAS limo, aka, the only car that could fit 2 out of my 3 brothers, Stella, Macy, Big Man, mom, dad, and another security guy who I think Big Man called Bob. Ok, so it wasn't exactly low key, but how else would we get close to the point of no return?

I love Kevin's name for the starting point of our plan. The point of no return; catchy, and fun to say with a bunch of different accents. And bonus fun points when Stella stuck socks (don't worry, they were clean) into her ears because we were annoying her so much…If only Nick were here to watch this…But then I saw Kevin had video taped the entire thing…

Enough about that. I kept running our plan through my head. I would be the decoy, and go to the meeting spot early with my dad and Big Man to wait. With there eyes on us, we would then proceed to argue loudly that I didn't stay at the hotel with the rest of my family, and be safe.

While that was happening, Kevin and Bob would be scouting around the area, finding the entrance Macy had found, and marking the spot. Kevin and BOB would proceed down into the facility, while Stella and Frankie were sending a loop through the system of cameras. Ok, yes Frankie is only 8, but he and Stella make a great team. Frank the Tank can hack any system and Stella is a whiz at following the necessary numbers.

The rest of the plan is top secret, and on a need-to-know basis, and apparently, I didn't need to know…grr.

BOSS'S POV

I still needed more information on the extent of a mutation. How far did the green go? What injuries did it heal, what are its exact properties? I knew, obviously, that it healed external wounds, like scrapes or whip marks, in minutes, if not seconds, but what of a bullet?

I smiled as I lovingly fingered my gun. Well, I would just have to find out.

Nick's POV

Lamia entered my cell and I pushed Devi slightly behind me. But Lamia looked up at me with sadness in her eyes, and shook her head. I was a bit nervous still, but she shook her head again, swishing her now black hair. I looked at her, noting the sudden changes. Her eyes were not a startling gold, but rather a nice hazel, and she was slightly tan, and was my height. And for some reason, she had wrinkles on her forehead as well.

'She must be testing different looks for the so called exchange tomorrow.' I silently agreed to Devi's unspoken idea.

"What do you want?" I asked, rather harshly, and Devi and I both glared at her…If looks could kill….

"For you to follow me." She simply stated, and I noticed her voice sounded softer, and a bit higher pitched.

"And why should we? Last time I was told to follow someone, I was forced to watch Nick almost die from electrocution! Do you seriously expect us to listen to a murderer like you?" I couldn't help but agree with Devi's outburst. But Lamia looked hurt from it, and she couldn't seem to make her eyes meet mine or Devi's. She just took a deep breath, and pulled a silver gun out from her leather jacket.

"You will follow me, or one of you dies."

()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()

BOSS'S POV

I was carelessly fingering the trigger of my gun; I could not wait to see what this baby could do. I barely glanced up when Lamia entered with my projects, and I smiled at the look of fear that was hidden behind their eyes. I put the gun back into my brown leather jacket, and faced all three of my living projects.

"Nicholas, I am sure that you know this, but it is something that needs to be repeated. Tomorrow is the big day." I was walking around them, circling, like a hawk descending on its prey. I grabbed the girl's arm, and pulled her away from him, with little resistance on both of their parts.

"But, I never intended to give you back. If you don't follow along with the plan I am about to tell you," I reached for my gun again, and brought it towards the girl's head. "Bang. And her death will forever be on your conscience."

"Am I clear?" He looked me straight in the eye, and I saw controlled anger rage in those brown orbs. But nonetheless, he nodded. I smiled. I love winning.

()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()

Devi's POV

I knew as soon as the Boss started circling us, that he would grab and use me as bait for Nick to follow orders, but Nick did too. We thought the Boss would do something like this, and planned for it. Just as long as Nick and I followed our own script, we would be free, and the Boss would be out of our lives.

Koutai: Lamest chapter ever, I know. But my mind is running so quickly for the next one that I couldn't think for this one. Sorry about it. I will make it up with the last…*sniff*…chapter…
