Ok, so I'm going to try and explain what I've tried to do with this chapter cause it might be confusing. I've continuously skipped through scenes, so you know when you watch a movie and two different people narrate the same tale and it switches between these two people? Well I've tried to do something similar. Tell me if it makes sense or not because I can fix it if it doesn't, I wrote it so that it can be fixed.
Third Person's POV.
"John, we can't just sit here and do nothing" Caren said in a hushed whisper, leaning on the kitchen bench
"And what do you suggest we do?" John asked, running a hand through his hair as he paced on the other side of the bench to Caren "We do not know where they may be and if we go to the wrong place then they'll be tipped off"
"John, can you tell me that you're fine to just sit here?" Caren questioned
"No" John answered immediately, shaking his head.
"They're in this because of us. It's our fault" Caren blamed
"We knew this threat was imminent from the beginning…" John began
"But it's not just a threat, it's happening, it's come to reality. This is exactly what we've been trying to prevent" Caren reminded him
"Caren, I know. But we can't just run in without a plan, otherwise, it could turn out messy. These are our daughters, they've been kidnapped to punish us, they'll be in the centre of it all. Do you really want to have them involved?" John asked, Caren sighed. Today was the fifth day since the twins had been kidnapped and nothing had happened, they were still missing and no trace of their kidnaping had been left behind.
"John, could we have done something else to prevent this?" Caren asked softly, John walked around the bench to his wife and placed an arm around her shoulders.
"We tried our hardest, but we both know that you can't run from the past forever. What more could we have done?" he wondered
"Told the truth" she admitted, looking up at him
"Do you think that would have been fair, for them?" John asked "How do you think that would have effected them?"
"But John, look at how our original plan turned out; it didn't stop the inevitable from happening" Caren said truthfully
"We were careless, we lowered our guard down to much after it being so peaceful and quiet for so long" John sighed
"John, what do you imagine they are going through?" Caren wondered, John sighed
"I don't believe they want to hurt them, you know how they are with keeping secrets. I believe they just need them as leverage" John admitted
"What if you're wrong?" Caren questioned
"I don't want to think about that" John admitted, clenching one of his fists. There was a knock at the front door, breaking the tension that had filled the air and they both gave each other a confusing glance, before walking towards the door.
Sophie's POV.
I felt so much better, I couldn't do anything to get me out of here yet, but physically I was better. I was mainly stuck because I was now using my energy to separate the carbon dioxide and oxygen.
"I really just need some sort of acid to get me out of here" I muttered. I knew that would break these walls apart but I didn't have the energy to do that. I was basically just waiting to see if these people would take the risk to 'torture' me like they did Cat. Cat had a thought that they'd let me suffer and beat the answers all out of her, she could be right, she's been pretty knowledgeable in the last few days. I also can't wait to get out of this cage, it's so dark and claustrophobic, not that I'm claustrophobic but the only light source is from my lamp on my bed side table, even my bathroom only has one light. I've spent four days looking at the same blank walls. I felt jealous of Cat, even though she was in the dark too — because they couldn't give her electricity — she could still see outside of the cage. It wasn't as constricting. I couldn't even look up at where she was, she could see my cage, knew I was close, I didn't know what direction she was in, what the room outside was like. She could see exactly what was around her to utilise where necessary. I felt cut off from the world, I was more in a prison then a hotel, it's probably the main reason I hoped these people came to get me, just so I could see something other then these same four walls.
"And I thought I was going to be the one complaining" Cat's voice sounded
"You don't understand, you've never been so trapped. I like the air remember, the freedom of the open sky and yet I'm trapped in the dark in an enclosed space. I need some freedom" I admitted
"I kind of know how you feel" Cat sighed "I haven't seen the sun in days. I'm starting to feel pale"
"How long have you been without the sun before?" I wondered
"The longest? Probably when the clouds block it out in Forks" she mumbled
"I wonder if you'd be effected by lack of sun light…?" I questioned
"If so, then we're about to find out" she grumbled annoyed
"Hopefully we wont be here that long" I wished
"Unless we can think of a way out of here I don't think that's gonna happen" Cat muttered sadly
"I disagree, I know we'll find a way out, we've managed to get out of every other situation we've been in" I reminded her
"There's a first for everything"
"What was it you said to Jacob, 'that's meant to be a positive saying' " I reminded her, she huffed
"Yeah, that was then"
"I wonder why you're suddenly so negative?" I realised
"It's just, that was a situation that we understood and knew how to handle…" she began
"And if we put our heads together we'll be able to think of a way to handle this one too. These people told you that we're unlike anything they've seen remember, so there must be something special about us that they're afraid of or don't understand" I thought
"How do you know?" Cat wondered
"I'm trapped in a box with nothing to do but think and the only info I have is what you've told me, which isn't much, so I've been looking at absolutely everything and it's annoying me" I confessed
"Yeah, but I've been thinking too…"
"You don't have my brain" I cut her off "It's had more practice then yours"
"Are you looking down on me?"
"No. Just we work well in a certain pattern; I think, you act." I reminded her
"Well, you were too weak so I've done a pretty good job at thinking" Cat commented
"I know" I nodded to myself "But you didn't come up with my theory"
"It is just a theory" she reminded me
"I know, but a few things you thought of was too"
"Not all of it" she argued. I sighed, this argument was pointless.
"Say Cat, how did they lure you into the white room?" I wondered, changing the subject
"There was a blinking light on my bathroom door and I opened it to find the white room. I just walked in" she explained. I stared at the wall
"You just walked in?" I repeated
"Uh huh"
"Why?" I questioned
"Curiosity, sick of the same glass walls" she answered, I rolled my eyes. Of course she just walked in.
"A light on the door knob" I muttered, guess she went looking for electricity. I looked at my bathroom and slowly stood up, stumbling over to it before I opened the door. It was normal.
"Say, did you wonder how they changed the room like that?" I asked my sister
"I did. There wasn't any noise or construction and it happened in a second. It was kind of like…" she thought of a word
"Magic?" I questioned with a sigh
"No better word to describe it" she agreed
"Great"
"Hey, we can't doubt the stuff" I rolled my eyes at her comment before shutting my bathroom door. I needed to sit back down again. The door shut and I suddenly heard a clicking noise
"Uh oh" I muttered
"What?" Cat questioned, suddenly interested. I reopened the door but I wasn't faced with my bathroom, which I kind of expected, I expected to be facing the white room too, only, I wasn't. "What's wrong?" Cat questioned
"My turn" I answered. The room in front of my was a dull greyish colour, in the middle was a metal table. I took a deep breath in, but there wasn't very much oxygen, granted there was more in this room then there was in my box and I could feel it rushing past to fill my almost vacuumed cage. I just stood with the door open, letting in as much air as I could before something shot out of the ground next to the table. It raced towards me and I ducked as it went straight over my head. It was a metal hand cuff, like Cat described her glass ones. I looked back at the table and realised, they couldn't keep me in the air just like they couldn't keep Cat grounded, so they were doing the opposite, keeping Cat in the air and me to the ground. I ground my teeth as the cuff did a u-turn and headed towards me, I didn't have enough energy to dodge it for long but as I stepped to the side I felt something else clamp around my ankle. I looked down and saw another cuff, connected to a metal chain like the first. Another grabbed my wrist and the one I'd been avoiding grabbed my other wrist before they dragged me out of my room and to the table, pinning me down to it. I struggled against the cold metal but it didn't budge. I could feel the amount of air in the room dropping as I struggled and kept breathing it in. I felt dizzy and light headed and decided to be smart and stop, this was probably what they wanted, to make me feel weak and helpless for when they questioned me. Then again if I kept moving then I'd probably pass out and they wouldn't be able to get anything from me.
"Not mentally, they'd probably dissect me or something" I reminded myself. I looked around the room, waiting for something to happen. I swear about five minutes passed before I heard footsteps.
"Someone's actually going to enter this room?" I questioned, I suddenly had the man — who'd attacked me not to long ago — looming over me.
"Hello Sophia" he smiled
"Zachariah" I realised. I almost said his name out loud but remembered that he hadn't introduced himself to me, Cat had told me who he was.
"Surprised?" he asked
"Not really." I answered "You wouldn't kidnap me just to keep me in a cage" I admitted
"Smart girl" he nodded before walking around the table, I watched him as he looked like he was thinking on what to say next. "I guess you're wondering who I am?" he asked
"I don't really care, I just want know what you want with me" I confessed
"Is that so?" he asked a look of surprise on his expression, but it wasn't there for long. I didn't answer, to me it sounded like a rhetorical question. "Well, you're here for observation" he answered me. I was a little shocked, but I kept that off of my face. Cat said he'd beaten around the bush, he just answered me straight up.
"Why?" I wondered
"Because you're different" I got the feeling that Zach liked me more then Cat, it seemed he just liked to piss her off.
"Observation… he was observing her reaction; she's a hot head" I felt slow for not realising that sooner. "Different from who?" I asked
"Us" he answered
"Now you know to ask very specific questions, you need to be specific or he wont answer you straight out" I remembered Cat informing me. I thought
"Us… what's a question that will get a straight answer" I wondered "And what, may I ask, is 'Us'?" I decided on
"Why my dear girl, I thought you knew the definition of us?" he mocked me, I kept the glare off of my face
"You know that's not what I meant" I said calmly. I was always better at keeping a level head then Cat. I wondered whether this annoyed him or not.
"Well, if you're anything like your sister, you wont like my answer" he said, I put a look of surprise on my face
"My sister?" I questioned
"Oh, didn't you know? She's here too" he admitted, this time I glared at him
"What did you do to her?" I demanded
"Oh nothing, believe it or not, you're in a much worse condition then she it" he confessed. That reminded me of something; even with such low levels of oxygen as there was in this room, Zachariah was perfectly fine. He breathed in, breathed out and acted as though this room was no different to outside.
"How could he breath in here?" he wasn't dead so he needed to breath unlike vampires. "He said; 'My kind are very old and are the top race of this world, we're one of the oldest creations, created by God himself.' " the top race of this world… what is counted as the highest race…
"You didn't answer my question," I reminded him "About what 'us' is"
"I'm surprised you're not asking who they are" Zachariah realised.
"Well that's cause you're not answering that question." I thought annoyed "Well I know you're not human, I don't care who 'us' is, just what. No human could stand next to me in such a room as this" I explained. I suddenly realised that he hadn't asked me anything about me or Cat or what we could do. I thought that was the purpose of this interrogation…
"Good observing" he nodded, almost impressed "Now how do you know that?" what did he mean 'how did I know that' cause I controlled wind of course!
"Have you not spoken to Cat?" I asked
"I have" he confessed
"Did she not already answer that question? Is that not the reason you've taken all my oxygen away?"
"And yet you're still surviving" he grinned
"I didn't think you'd kidnap me to just kill me off" I admitted
"I can see you're the one with the brains"
"Good observing" I mimicked him
"Now, how long have you been like this?" he questioned
"Here we go" I rolled my eyes "Like what?" I asked
"Special" he whispered in my ear
"Two years" I lied, remembering what Cat had said "Since I turned seventeen"
"And your sister?"
"The same" stupid question.
"Huh" he answered "What are your limits?"
"Limits?" I asked, raising an eyebrow, he wanted to know weaknesses? "If you didn't know my limits, then I don't think you'd be able to have known how to contain me"
"I've learnt how to suppress you" he smiled, his smile kind of grossed me out.
"That's not how I'd put it" I admitted
"No? I haven't stopped you" he thought, was he retarded? He's stopped us by trapping us…? "You can still use your abilities" I understood
"You want to take away what we have?" I questioned "Sorry, but I don't think that's possible"
"Anything's possible" he disagreed
"Not if you don't know how we work"
"What do you think you're here for?" he asked. So that kind of answered a question, he wanted what we have
"Are you jealous of what we can do?"
"No, just interested"
"I don't believe you"
"And why not?" he asked
"I think you're scared of what we can do" I admitted
"And why would I need to be scared?" he asked as he stopped walking
"Because you don't understand" I answered simply "You don't understand how we are like this, you don't understand us"
"That doesn't give me a reason to be scared" he thought
"Yes it does, because everyone's scared of the unknown"
"Even you?" he asked
"I'm not afraid for me" I admitted
"Then for who?"
"Everyone else"
"What compassion" he smiled before continuing to circle my table.
"Yes, it's to bad you don't have any" I said in a sickly sweetly voice, putting a fake smile on my face. I saw the glare he gave me before I shut my eyes and screamed. The pain was just like Cat had explained it, it was an illusion. It was all inside my head, but it felt so real. It subsided and the thumping in my head disappeared
"Jesus Christ" I muttered
"Like it?" Zachariah wondered "It's my new invention. I needed to think of some method to get you to talk. Didn't help when I didn't know what you could do. You're little trip really helped though." I glared at him, he'd followed us all the way to Miami too? "Such slow means of travel by the way, but, I guess just as much as we're nothing like you, you're also nothing like us" he continued. What kind of travel is faster then light? Instant travel? Like teleportation? That's the only one I can think of… but is that even possible?
"Impressive" I muttered
"And it only took a few months for me to think of it" Zachariah boasted
"A few months? Wow, that's slow" I thought, insulting him
"Well, I had to think very carefully, not knowing your weaknesses didn't help, it would be stupid if I used something that only powered you up" he explained, not noticing my insult
"Is that what you people need, a power up?" he chuckled at my question
"Our power doesn't run out"
"Invincible?" I wondered, his grin grew on his face
"In a sense" I raised an eyebrow "It's difficult" he smirked
"So is finding our weaknesses. Will you let me know when you find it?" I wondered. He gave me a look
"You don't know?"
"Everything that might be a weakness I have a counter for" I admitted
"All of them"
"Everything my sister can throw at me" I nodded
"What can she throw at you?"
"A lot…" I answered slowly, he gave me a look. I was expecting more pain, but it didn't come.
"Specifically?"
"Fire, heat, light, anything to do with earth and nature" I listed carefully, not trying to give to much away
"You have a counter act for plants?" he questioned
"Ever heard of something that freezes so hard it explodes?" I asked, answering his question.
"And how low can your temperature go?"
"As low as I want it"
"And it doesn't kill you?"
"How could I be killed by something I control?" I answered obviously
"Hmm" I heard him as he thought. "You both seem to be very limited"
"You'd be surprised what you can do with such a little list" I muttered
"What can you do?" I glared
"I want to know what you were talking about when you were strangling me" I admitted, he sighed
"You two have a one track mind"
"Well when someone comes along and starts babbling such nonsense you don't really forget it" I explained
"Nonsense is it?" he chuckled.
"Until you prove otherwise, yes it is"
"It's amazing how clueless you both are. Did you really forget everything?"
"What's everything?" I demanded. He didn't answer "I don't understand why you let off these little pieces of information and just don't tell me everything?" I confessed "Are you being forced to keep it a secret?" he gave me an annoyed look
"No one can force me into doing anything" he said strongly, a tone in his voice that made me cringe a little
"Then why don't you just tell me?" I asked. I saw him looking at me hard before an evil smirk grew on his face. He waved his hand and the room suddenly began to change. My table began to raise so that I was standing up and the room turned white. I heard the clicking noise echo through the room before a door appeared to my right. Four more holes appeared in the hole and four glass cuffs rose out of them
"Cat, watch out" I warned
"Why?" she answered. The door opened and I saw a room kind of like mine, I saw a flash of gold before the cuffs shot into the room. After about a minute, they dragged Cat out, she was struggling against the chains as they pulled her next to me.
"Cat" I grinned, it was good to actually see her. She looked at me and examined me
"Are you alright?" she wondered
"Yeah" I sighed. I looked at her, but realised something was amiss; she was so pale. I know she said she felt pale, but she looked it, her tan had almost disappeared.
"Dude, you're so pale" I told her
"Thanks" she muttered sarcastically
"I'm serious"
"Lack of sun" she brushed it off before looking at Zachariah and glaring.
"Now that you're both here, let's get started" Zachariah decided
"On what?" I questioned
"The truth" he smirked
"Who's truth?" Cat asked
"Why yours of course" he shrugged "It's about time you found out"
"About what?" I wondered
"Yourselves and your history"
Third Person's POV.
Caren opened the door to see Billy, Sue, Jacob and Embry standing there, serious looks on their faces.
"Hey" Caren said in a surprised tone.
"Caren, can we come in please?" Billy wondered, Caren looked at John who nodded. They stepped aside and Sue wheeled Billy into the house. The six of them retreated to the lounge room where they all sat down.
"What's wrong?" John wondered
"We wanted to talk about the twins…" Sue began
"You found something?" Caren asked surprised
"No, but we feel you might have" Billy admitted, they both shared a look before looking back at the suspicious crew.
"How would we know anything?" John wondered
"Because of a few things we've noticed" Jacob admitted
"Noticed?" Caren asked
"We think you might know who took the twins" Jacob blurted out, Billy and Sue gave him a look and Embry sighed at him.
"You think we had something to do with their disappearance?" Caren asked shocked
"No. We just think you might know something about who did" Billy explained
"How?" John wondered
"Because we know weird when it happens" Embry admitted "And no normal person could nab the twins"
"What are you talking about?" Caren asked confused "They're helpless girls, anyone could have nabbed them"
"You don't believe that, do you?" Sue asked her sitting next to her on the couch.
"What's that supposed to mean? I know my daughters" Caren assured her, Sue nodded, not doubting her
"What do you two know about the supernatural?" Billy wondered. The couple let out a sigh and shared a long look, debating on how to answer.
"I'd say a lot by the way you're acting" Jacob admitted.
"You're actually gonna answer us?" Sophie asked surprised
"He wants to piss someone off" Cat rolled her eyes, Zachariah glared at her before she suddenly screamed. Sophie winced at the sound, unable to cover her ears before Cat stopped. She recovered immediately as she didn't actually feel the pain.
"Who?" Sophie asked Zachariah
"Two old friends of mine. I haven't seen them in a while, they've been laying low for quite a few years" Zachariah said pacing in front of the girls.
"How many is a few?" Cat questioned
"Quite a few hundred" he smiled
"How old are you?" Cat wondered, Sophie rolled her eyes
"You haven't told us who your friends are" Sophie realised
"Well, they're someone you know very… personally" he admitted
"Mum and dad" Sophie guessed, Cat looked at her surprised for a few minutes before she seemed to understand why her sister thought that.
"Very good" Zachariah complimented Sophie "I knew you were the smart one" Cat rolled her eyes.
"So mum and dad, they're, like you?" Cat asked surprised.
"What gave it away?" John wondered
"Well, actually, if it wasn't for the twins, we wouldn't have figured out anything" Jacob admitted
"How did Cat and Sophie figure it out?" Caren asked confused
"They didn't figure everything out, only a few small details" Billy explained
"What are you two anyway?" Embry wondered, jumping to the chase
"It's a little complicated" John began
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can handle it" Jacob assured them
"Right, forgot about you being werewolves and all" Caren sighed, everyone looked at her surprised
"How'd you…" Embry questioned
"We've seen our fair share of 'weird' we know a werewolf when we see one" Caren assured him
"Vampires too" John nodded, talking about Carlisle.
"Well…" Zachariah began to answer Cat's question
"Don't say 'we're a very old race created by God or who ever' or I'll burn you" Cat threatened, Zachariah laughed at her empty threat.
"Tell me, what do you believe is going on?" he wondered
"We're not sure, it's not like you've given us much to go on" Sophie confessed.
"I'm sure you have some idea" Zachariah shrugged
"You've known all along?" Jacob asked
"For years actually" John admitted
"It's one of the reasons I didn't want the girls out in the woods when we first moved here" Caren admitted
"Wait, how could you have known about this place inhabiting wolves and vampires?" Embry wondered
"It's not the first time we've lived in Forks you know." John smiled
"This house has been standing for years, just we've given it quite a few touch ups" Caren explained
"That would explain the bunker then" Jacob confessed. Both parents looked at him with complete shock
"How do you know about that?" they chorused
"Uh, Cat found it, about a month ago" Embry confessed, Caren and John's surprised expressions remained, confused as to how she did that.
"I don't understand…" Caren began
"It's, a bit of a long story" Jacob said, they'd all realised that Caren and John were completely clueless as to their daughters abilities by now.
"What I don't understand is, how you've got so many old things down there. And that portrait?" Embry asked
"They saw that?" John asked, they almost seemed horrified, the boys nodded
"Caren, a lot has happened in the last few months." Sue admitted
"About a week after they graduated the twins were attacked" Billy began "By two… people. Ever since then, they've become rather, sceptical."
"Do you know who attacked them?" John asked, both worried and furious
"No. We weren't with them at the time" Jacob admitted, grinding his teeth.
"Why didn't they tell us?" Caren questioned
"They didn't think you knew anything about this world, about the, supernatural" Embry answered
"And they do?" John asked, the boys shared a quick look but didn't answer.
"They know about you boys right?" Caren asked, they nodded
"And the vampires" Embry added.
"We know there's something trippy going on" Cat began
"That they're not normal" Sophie added
"That they've been lying to us, like you said" Cat listed
"We don't understand how they have a collection of old things and how they're connected to you" Sophie said
"You're a terrible lier, you know that Sophia" Zachariah said, Cat looked at Sophie who's face hardened "You have a pretty good idea. I heard you muttering to yourself" Sophie bit on her bottom lip "Care to share?"Sophie debated the idea for a minute or two before speaking.
"Angels" she admitted
"Very good" Zachariah nodded
"You're not saying you're an angel, are you?" Cat questioned
"I thought you didn't have the right to question what existed" Zachariah reminded her
"Pretty pathetic for an angel" Cat confessed. Her comment was followed by another scream.
"And you're saying our parent's are angels too?" Sophie asked
"Why do you ask questions you already know the answers too?" Zachariah questioned
"Because they're just theories. I want facts" Sophie explained, Zachariah sighed.
"So what are you?" Billy asked
"You're not Elementals are you?" Embry checked, Caren and John looked at him confused
"Elementals are spirits" John said, the boys shared a look that said otherwise but John didn't catch it.
"What have you been running from?" Sue wondered, Caren sighed
"Those people you say attacked Sophie and Cat. They've been after them for a while." she admitted
"Why?" Jacob wondered
"To punish us" Caren answered
"Why do they want to punish you?" Billy asked
"Because we were betrayed" John sighed.
"But everyone else just saw it as a rebellion, as us disobeying" Caren aded
"Disobeying who?" Billy asked
"Why would they think you rebelled?" Sue wondered
"Because they thought we broke the rules" John answered
"Why?" Embry asked
"We were framed. But no one would listen to us" Caren sighed
"It was a complicated life. So, we came here" John said, indicating around him
"You're… not from earth?" Jacob realised, they both shook their heads.
"Where are you from then?" Sue wondered
"Heaven" Caren answered, before looking at them all "We're angels"
"How's this for a fact; you're correct. My kind are angels. A species which your little family is apart of" Zachariah admitted
"Why would our parents, who you're saying are angels, be here on earth. Aren't you supposed to be in heaven or where ever?" Cat questioned
"Well, earth was the only place they could escape to" Zachariah smirked
"Why would they need to escape?" Sophie asked
"Because they're criminals." Zachariah answered
"That's insane" Cat spat
"At first they were just going to be imprisoned. And heaven's jails are one very hefty punishment. But then, something else happened. That was you two" Zachariah explained "Once word got to us about you two, we decided that locking them up wasn't as bad of a punishment. So their punishment would be that you two would suffer for it, or they'd think that." Zachariah explained "We were to kidnap you to punish them" the twins were completely shocked by this, their parents, criminals? It was madness. "But they found out about our plan and hid you from us somehow. After about a hundred years we found you, but you were only kids, hadn't grown, hadn't aged, didn't have a single ounce of power in you, you were weak and human." Zachariah said as though it was an insult and he was disappointed "Your parents came to the rescue and after the little brawl, you all vanished again. We were surprised. We expected you to be like us, but you were nothing more then weaklings." he admitted "After another encounter with you we realised that your parents had been keeping you young, or rather, they were turning you back to little kids again after a certain age, and erasing your memories of your past." Sophie realised that's why the wall in her mind was were, it was keeping all those memories locked away. "Your parents moved around every fifty years or so, hid you, kept you safe, kept themselves off the radar. We lost you for quite some time."
"You obviously have no life if you spent thousands of years looking for us" Cat thought
"To angels, a few thousand years are nothing, we're immortal and live forever" Zachariah admitted to her. "Plus a crime such as their's cannot just be forgotten"
"This sounds like a bunch of bull crap" Cat admitted
"Something's amiss that's for sure" Sophie agreed
"Anyway, every time we found you, we lost you again and it was more difficult and took a lot longer to find you again after every time." Zachariah continued "But one thing we were certain; there was nothing special about you two. You were an odd case, a unique one too. Angels don't reproduce. So we didn't really know what to expect, but 'nothing', was not on the list. Your parents saved you every time. Until now that is. Can you imagine our surprise when you fought us off on your own? That was something we never expected." Zachariah smiled "But was even more surprising is the kinds of things you could do. Angels can't control the elements, and if they can, they can only control one and not very well. But only Archangels can do that. It was strange and intriguing. After discovering that, we had another reason, more viable one, to kidnap you." his grin continued to grow "Of course it took a lot of thinking on my half, had to figure out what you could do in order to kidnap you, and had to make those cages so you couldn't escape, and then we had to actually get you here." he babbled
"Angels…" Cat muttered
"We already thought of that" Sophie reminded her
"But it's different having it said to our faces" Cat thought
"Can't argue with you there" Sophie mumbled
"So now, all we need to figure out, is what makes you tick." Zachariah explained
"Well, you're stupid" Cat realised, Zachariah raised an eyebrow "Obviously our parent's know who took us? If you can find us when we're covered in hidden whatevers then they're definitely going to be able to find you"
"Don't you think I thought of that already. If they do come sniffing around here, which I doubt, I have a little something something to keep them busy" Zachariah admitted
"So now what?" Sophie wondered
"Not sure, I'm pretty sure you said you're the one who does the thinking" Cat reminded her
"Right…" Sophie muttered
"If you're angels, what are you doing here?" Jacob wondered after a bit of explaining had been done
"We were betrayed and framed for a terrible crime. We had no choice but to leave" Caren sighed "We were hunted for quite a while before the girls were born. The angels found about them and a target was painted on them both"
"Why?" Embry wondered
"The angels decided that the best way to punish us, was to kidnap and take them away from us" John explained
"Why did they think you betrayed them? Who framed you?" Jacob asked
"What happened?" Billy asked a little calmer
"One of the angels went on a rampage and slaughtered many others. There was chaos everywhere and by the time we had any idea on what had happened, suddenly the blame was on the two of us. We tried to reason with everyone but they didn't listen to us and so, we fled, and came here" Caren explained
"As for who? We're not one hundred percent sure" John sighed
"See when an angel does the wrong thing, they generally have good intentions… or some sort of good motive. We aren't very good at doing wrong, but going the wrong away about it is different" Caren admitted
"What about the girls? How come they don't know about any of this?" Sue wondered
"We decided the best thing for them was for them not to know." Caren answered "After a while we realised they didn't posses any abilities or signs of being angels, which was a little unexpected"
"A little?"
"You don't usually find naturally born angels. We're all created by God in the beginning" John admitted
"God?" the wolves asked, John sighed but nodded
"That's not a little, too far is it…" Jacob muttered
"Uh huh" Embry nodded
"There'd never been a case like the twins before so we didn't know what to expect, but them being completely human was not one of them" Caren sighed "After that we decided to keep this world a secret. Once they began to notice we didn't age, we would erase their memories, make them children again, and start the process all over again."
"For how long?" Jacob wondered
"Quite long" John answered
"The girls kidnapping is our fault. We've spent so long keeping them safe, protecting them, but this time… we couldn't" Caren blamed herself
"Hey, you can't blame yourself for this" Sue comforted her, rubbing her back.
"You know who took them though right?" Embry asked
"His name's Zachariah, he's the one who came after the twins every time." John nodded
"Do you know where they are?" Billy wondered
"Sadly no. There are many places they could have been taken too, many of them not in reach of humans" Caren explained
"Well, they wouldn't go anywhere where they'd expect you to look" Jacob thought "Any places were you'd look last?"
"Probably, angels have places everywhere, it'd take quite a while to check them all" John admitted.
"You know, kidnapping two girls doesn't really seem like a godly thing to do" Cat thought
"Yeah, I don't expect God would have ordered this…" Sophie agreed
"No one questions him, we just obey" Zachariah explained
"What a good little puppy you are" Cat insulted, another scream.
"Seriously?" Sophie asked
"Couldn't help it" Cat admitted "Don't worry, the screams are fake"
"They're pretty good" Sophie confessed
"I know, right" Cat mentally smirked. Sophie sighed before remembering something.
"No one can force me into doing anything"
"Wait…" she thought
"What?" Cat asked
"He said before that no one can force him to do anything, and yet, he just said they blindly obey God?" she realised
"Well those stories don't match up do they" Cat grumbled
"Not at all" Sophie got thinking.
"Are we happy now? Now that you now the truth?" Zachariah wondered
"It's a little different to what I expected I'll admit that. Angels were the last thing I'd of thought of" Cat admitted
"Would explain quite a few things though" Sophie muttered
"Though I don't understand how having two angel parents could leave us so… normal for several centuries" Cat confessed
"One of the reasons you're here" Zachariah reminded them
"As well as to steal our abilities" Sophie added
"What?!" Cat questioned
"He's jealous and wants to get rid of them" Sophie shrugged, Cat raised an eyebrow at him before Sophie screamed
"I wouldn't use jealously, that word doesn't work…" Zachariah thought
"Well, what word does work?" Cat wondered
"How about, curiosity?" Zachariah smirked at Cat who glared at them. "Well, this has been fun, but —" he waved his hand "— time for you two to go back" the twins' cuffs raised them both into the air as Zachariah turned around and left the room. Two doors appeared and the girls were thrown into their rooms. Cat hit the glass again and landed on her bed while Sophie hit the metal wall and hit the floor before the doors closed again, locking the twins inside.
"Damn!" Cat complained.
"Can you believe it?" Embry wondered
"I know… angels…" Jacob muttered
"That's new" Embry admitted, they were sitting at the cliff jumping site later that afternoon
"And yet, they don't know anything about the twins" Jacob noticed
"I noticed that too, especially after Caren called them helpless girls" Embry sighed with a small smile
"Didn't feel right telling them otherwise" Jacob nodded
"No"
"Other then that, we didn't get anywhere closer to finding them" Jacob muttered and looked at his hands. Embry frowned and they didn't say anything more.
