Chapter 28:

Caine's POV

I was worried. Drake was still around. Now he had been spotted by multiple people. But he would deal with Drake when the time came. Right now though he had bigger problems on his mind. One of those was his pesky brother, who had just walked back into town. His town. And had taken back over, like nothing had happened. Like he had never been to the lake. He knew he would need help to beat his brother, but he had someone on his mind.

"Hi Ross!" I said when he came out of the makeshift mayors office.

"Hi Caine. What do you want." He said, looking better then he had earlier.

"I need your help." He said bluntly.

"With what. I just want to go home and go to sleep." He said.

"Ya...the problem with going back to your house is that it is impossible to get into. You see, just after you left, there was this kind of explosion. It started at Gavin's house. And well the area around him was completely iced over. And your house was in that area." I explained.

"So. My house is completely inhabitable."

"Yes."

"Because of Gavin."

"Yes."

"I'm going to kill him. I am going to go over to his house and burn it to the bloody ground!" He shouted angrily.

"Ya, well before you do that. I have to ask you something." I said again.

"Ya, ya you need my help. What do you need."

"I need this town. I need to get my brother out of this town. I need Sam dead."

"Can't you ask him yourself? He's your brother."

"He won't just leave. He still hates me."

"No. I'm not going to help you."

"Wait just on second. Who believed you didn't kill Astrid. Ho helped you get out of it. Who tried to kill you?"

"Leave me alone Caine. I'm not going to help you."

"Yes you are. Either you help me or things are going to very bad for you very quickly."

"Try me Caine. I dare you." Ross said.

His bravery threw me for a minute but then I threw him at the tree. He was stunned. I picked up one of the huge branches on the the ground and threw it at him. He burned it in mid air. He then shot his fire a me. It missed by a inch. I could feel the heat of it pass my head. He shot again. This time it hit my right arm. I screamed in pain. I threw some of the rubble of the church at him. He fell. I went over, having a very bad feeling that I had killed him. But when I went over I saw him hiding behind it. It had missed him! Before I knew it, he had me on the ground my hands behind my back and he was on top of my with his hand to my head.

"I'm not going to help you kill Sam. I'm not going to help you take over is town. Understand!" He demanded.

"You help me, or else I will make sure things happen. You mightn't have killed Astrid, but something else could come up. Maybe you helped Daniel. Maybe you wanted Astrid dead." I threatened.

"Go on. Go tell Sam that."

"Do you love Barbara,Ross?"

"Why?"

"It would be a shame if something were to happen to her, wouldn't it."

"Don't you dare go near her. I will kill you if you try to hurt her."

"Then help me. All I want is Sam gone. I don't even want dead, just gone would be fine." I said. I saw his face fall as he thought of it.

"If I help you, Barbara will be left alone. Nothing will happen to her."

"No. Not if you help me."

"Fine." He said reluctantly.

"Good. I'll call you with the details." I said as Ross got off me and walked away.

Connie temples POV

I was sitting down on the sofa in my hotel room. I was watching the news once again. They were all talking about nuking it. Personally I don't like that idea. If my son was still alive I don't want him being blown to smithereens by a nuke!

"Bang!" What the hell. I got up and walked over to the door. The electricity went out.

"Hello, Connie." Said the voice. I recognised it from somewhere, but where?

"Who are you.?" I asked.

"That's on a need to know basis" came the voice again.

"What do you want,so" I demanded.

"Click"

"What was that." I said.

"A gun, I'm going to kill you." I got it, it sounded like E.Z's dad, George.

"George, is that you?" I said sounding surprised.

"Maybe." Came the voice once again.

"Why do you have to kill me. All I ever did for you George was try to help, you pushed me away" I said beginning to panic and look for a way out.

"I have to kill you because you got my child killed." He said.

"You found out that I knew something weird was going to happen" I said all the blood draining from my face.

"You..wha...yes. I know." He said.

"Please, don't kill me." I begged.

"Bang!" I fell to the floor. There was blood pumping out of my left side. I knew I didn't have long. I looked up. My soon to be killer was walking out of the room. It wasn't George though, it was someone else. I thought about Sam, Caine. I thought about the fact that I never told Sam about Caine and vise versa. Then I heard a ear-piercing scream and someone shouting call 911! They had found me. It was too late though...
