Sophie's POV.
I'm lying on my bed, staring at the celling. It had only just hit me that my parents were actual angels. I think at first I kind of already knew, and I was to preoccupied by Zachariah. But now that I'm along and thinking about… I'm just completely stunned. I wasn't sure if it was the angel part I was stunned about, or the fact that my parents were supposedly criminals! How could my parents be criminals? They didn't have enough time to be criminals, they were too busy with their lives.
"Though they're criminals of heaven, not of earth…" I thought "What am I saying they're not criminals!" I reminded myself, my parents were probably the last people, on earth, who'd be criminals!
"Hey Soph, you don't actually believe…" Cat began
"No." I cut her off "I think Zach's an absolute prick."
"I knew you would. There's just something… off, about his story" Cat thought
"Like too many missing details?" I asked
"Yep" she agreed. "But angels, huh… who would have thought…" she muttered
"Yeah, I know what you mean." I agreed "But there's still one thing I'm confused about…"
"What's that?"
"Why are we different? Why are we so special?" I questioned, she sighed
"Why can we do what we do and they can't"
"And how come we can't do what they can…"
"You'd think after finding out the truth all our answers would have been solved" Cat grumbled
"Yeah, that's usually the case, for normal people"
"Why us?" she questioned
"Dunno, God obviously wants to make our lives a riddle" I complained
"Why can't he mess with someone else?" Cat muttered annoyed
"I don't know. But now that we've got a few answers, we can now move on to our next problem" I remembered
"What's that?" she asked
"I don't know, how about, escaping!" I reminded her
"Oh, yeah" she mumbled slowly "And any idea on how to do that?"
"I'm still working on it" I admitted. We had answers, there was definitely no need to stay anymore. The questions we had left couldn't be answered by these people, especially seeing as that was the soul reason we were here in the first place.
"We also need to think of what to do when we actually get out…" Cat realised. I groaned
"I can only think of so many things at a time" I muttered
"So think of the easier one first, the one that wont take you as long" she suggested
"Why don't you?" I wondered
"Cause you told me you were smarter and your brain had more practice" she remembered
"Doesn't mean you don't think at all" I grumbled, I could just picture her shrugging or rolling her eyes. I sighed and rolled over to bury my face in my pillow as I began to think.
Third Person's POV.
"What have we got?" Zachariah questioned, walking into the control room after his talk with the twins.
"There is a significantly higher reading coming off the two girls when they're together compared to when they're alone." one of the researchers admitted. "There's also some sort of interference in trying to get information when they're together."
"What kind of Interference?" Zachariah asked
"We're not sure" the researcher admitted.
"Have we examined the waves of energy coming off of the girls that we can get?" Zachariah asked annoyed
"Almost. Is seemed their abilities come souly from their core or their soul. And they don't have a grace like we do that can just be extracted." Zachariah sighed and began thinking
"Is there anyway for us to pull it away from their soul?" he wondered
"Not yet" the man shook his head "We'd have to analyse their souls first"
"Alright" Zachariah decided before he turned around and walked to the door "Then that's what we'll do".
"Metal - iron, steel; Cat could move those" Sophie muttered, she was walking around in circles in her cage as she thought "Dude, can you move particles from far away?"
"Dunno, I've never tried it" Cat admitted
"Then that's not smart, she could make it worse" Sophie muttered
"Thanks" Cat grumbled, having heard her thoughts. She was lounging around on her bed lighting all her fingers on fire by clicking then.
"If she can't break my metal cage then she's gonna have to break the glass one. Unless I can get enough energy to slip out of my cage…" Sophie continued she took a deep breath in "Which isn't likely to happen…"
"You could hurt yourself and cause a tornado to rip the place apart?" Cat offered
"Right, and at the same time I'll blow us away seeing as we're trapped in cages, hey you might even fly around for a while seeing as you're hanging form the celling" Sophie reminded her. Cat huffed but didn't answer.
"There's gotta be a better way to do this…" Sophie thought "Glass is supposed to have a melting point, everything does. But with Zachariah taking us in and out of the cages Cat probably wont have time to reach that point." Sophie continued to pace. She shut her eyes and scrunched up her face while trying to think. "Glass, different types…" she muttered. "There's Lead-oxide glass, crystal glass; but they have low heating temperatures…Oxide glass, that's not very stable and could easily break…" Sophie went through her head of some of the things she's read over the years. "Pyrex which is Sodium borosilicate glass, but that's impervious to cracking too… plus Cat said something about there being a special something in the glass in order to keep her inside." Sophie knocked her head with her knuckles "This is such a pain!" she grumbled "It's not normal glass because that has poor resistance to heat"
"Wait…" Cat said sitting up
"What?" Sophie asked frustrated
"What is glass made of?" Cat wondered
"Depends on the glass" Sophie said "But all types of glass, except for Oxide Glass, has silica in it"
"Which is silicon right?" Cat questioned
"A form of silicon yes." Sophie nodded
"Dude! That's our answer" Cat jumped off her bed
"What is?" Sophie wondered
"Silicon is an element, it's a mineral" Cat informed her
"I know. So what?"
"So it comes from the ground!" Cat cheered
"So?"
"Dude, how slow are you? I can manipulate silicon just like I can manipulate iron and steel!" Cat explained. Sophie stood in the middle of her cell for a minute thinking that over
"Oh…" she muttered
"Oh?" Cat questioned "That's how we're gonna get out of here!"
"There are other components in glass you know" Sophie reminded her
"But silicon is the main one?"
"Yes"
"Then who cares what else is in it" Cat shrugged happily, Sophie doubted this
"But, what about the extra thing?" she wondered
"Stuff that, it can't stop me, they probably only hardened the glass with that" Cat thought positively, Sophie was trying to think what was wrong with this. "Don't say it's to easy, we've been here for like six or seven days remember, that's a whole week" Cat reminded her
"I know, I just, thought it would involve more scheming" Sophie admitted
"It does, we don't know what to do when we get out" Cat reminded her
"I suggest we don't leave until we figure that out" Sophie decided
"Well, let's think"
"It's not that easy, we don't know what's outside that door remember, we don't even know where we are!"
"We will when I hit the ground" Cat grinned
"Cat, what place do you know that has such a bright light as that? We might not even be on earth" Sophie thought logically
"So we'll find a way back, the angels have to have one somewhere" Cat said positively
"But…" Sophie began
"Why are you being so negative?" Cat wondered
"I don't know, it just sounds too good to be true…" Sophie sighed
"We knew we'd get out eventually" Cat reminded her
"Still…" Sophie shrugged.
"Come on, a plan?" Cat prompted her
"Alright, I say we just bash up anyone that gets near us" Sophie decided
"Sounds good to me, who gets to punch Zach in the face?" Cat wondered
"You really think he'd show his face?" Sophie asked
"I hope so!" Cat said, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Alright, so is there anything we're positive the angels don't know about us?" she asked
"Not sure, they've kept electricity away from me, they know I use fire and light and earth and nature… that's about it for me really. They know about your air and water, what about your gravity?" Cat wondered
"If they followed us to Miami then they'd know something about that" Sophie admitted
"They followed us to Miami?" Cat questioned
"Yep" Sophie sighed.
"Stalkers much" Cat muttered
"That's what I thought" Sophie agreed. Cat sighed before she shook her head
"Alright, I say, we get out of here before Zach decides to do more experiments on us" she decided
"Alright, but we don't worry about where we are, until we're in the clear" Sophie ordered
"Yeah, sure" Cat agreed. She walked over to her glass wall and placed her hands against it
"Wait!" Sophie shouted, Cat jumped
"What?" she questioned
"Are there cameras in the room around us?" Sophie questioned, Cat looked around the room until she did in fact spot two cameras
"Oh, yes" Cat muttered annoyed
"Alright, you need to make a small, almost unseeable hole and put those cameras on a loop. Then you can break the rest of the cage" Sophie instructed
"Aye, aye captain" Cat agreed. She walked to a corner of her cage so that she had her back to both cameras. She placed her hand on the wall and stood still for a few minutes, feeling through all the particles in the glass until she found some silicon. Cat smirked and traced a circle on the glass with her finger, the circle of glass fell into Cat's waiting hand and Cat felt fresh air run into the glass cage. She smiled and took a look at one of the cameras. The TV screen that was connected to the certain camera fuzzed up for a split second before it showed Cat walking to her bed and lying down. The same thing happened with the second camera before Cat smirked. She put her hand flat on the glass over her little hole. Suddenly a crack began to grow out from the hole and ran on a diagonal across the entire wall.
"Why the hell didn't we think of this sooner?" Cat wondered
"Well, with all the things we can do you can't blame us for forgetting some of them" Sophie reminded her
"True, true" Cat nodded as a second crack grew. Several cracks grew out of the two and continued to branch off one another until the entire cage was absolutely covered in cracks. Cat smiled and rubber her nails on her top before blowing on them, she took a step back and pointed her finger at the glass in a gun style. A laser left her finger and shattered right through the now fragile glass, causing a chain effect and the entire cage broke into pieces and fell to the ground before with a huge crash. Cat floated in the air unharmed, a hand above her head as a heat barrier protected her. She took a deep breath and sighed
"Free!" she cheered before flying down to the metal cage were her sister was being kept. She walked up to the wall and grabbed it, the metal bent under her grip and Cat literally ripped the metal back. Sophie stood on the other side and felt like she was being whacked in the face with a frying pan by all the air that rushed into the cage. She took a deep breath and raised her hand, causing a wild to appear around her and blow her hair around.
"Jeez, that's much better" she grinned as she immediately began to feel better and gain her strength back.
"Tell me about it" Cat smiled
"But you're still pale" Sophie pointed
"So, let's go find some sun" Cat shrugged, Sophie rolled her eyes before she pulled her sister into a hug. They turned to the door, the only way in and out of the room, and Sophie turned to Cat
"Would you like to knock?"
"Sure" Cat reached into her pocket and pulled out a coin. She pointed her hand at the door and Sophie took a step back from her as Cat flipped the coin and her body was filled with electricity. The coin shot off through the air after hitting her hand and smashed right through the door, breaking the frame and wall around it in the process. A bright white light shone in through the opening and the girls looked at it, unable to stare for too long.
"Don't go into the light Cat" Sophie said, pretending to be worried
"Don't go into the light Soph" Cat said back in the same worried voice before they grinned at one another and did just that. After walking for a bit the light finally cleared from around them and the girls opened their eyes properly, having squinted while walking through the light. Both their mouths dropped at the sight before them
"Ah, Sophie, I think we jinxed it" Cat muttered, Sophie only managed to nod. In front of them was a beautiful city. There were clouds hanging around, both above their heads and below their feet. The buildings were white marble and had gold running through the designs. Though there were quite a few green plants, trees and flowers growing around the place. The floor, was not clouds, but glass, or a type of transparent material like glass. Rivers, lakes and ponds were flat and peaceful, the surface not rising above the glass floor but the bottom didn't look any deeper then a few inches, though that was only how it appeared. Under the glass, in the distance and under the clouds was the earth, though it seemed like the beautiful city was in the sky, it also seemed to far away to be in the same sky as that that surrounded the earth. The sun beamed down on them, though it had a certain softness compared to the rays of the sun, though the warmth was still there. There were people walking all around, most were wearing suits and smart attires, though all were wearing, white, silver, or a light grey. Everyone looked busy and serious, not many smiles were on the faces of the people.
"Say, Cat…" Sophie began
"Yeah?" Cat asked as they stood staring at the scenery
"You don't reckon we're in… heaven do you?" Sophie wondered
"I'm not sure" Cat muttered "Though I do feel kind of stupid for thinking we wouldn't be in heaven, being surrounded by angels and all"
"That thought crossed my mind too" Sophie agreed
"Aren't angels meant to have wings?" Cat asked
"Maybe, I wouldn't know, this is the first time I've seen some" Sophie admitted "Plus I don't see mum and dad with wings" Cat looked around at them all, excepting that fact.
"Think we can take on several angels?" she wondered
"Not sure" Sophie muttered still stunned
"We took on one each easy"
"That was one each" Sophie reminded her "Not several"
"We took on several vampires"
"Those were vampires, they're easy to kill" Sophie said, the stunned look didn't seem to want to leave her expression. "We don't know what angels are capable off. We could end up getting our asses wooped"
"Please, those two couldn't take us down, they seemed to weak" Cat remembered
"But they thought we were weak, they didn't want to kill us so they didn't use any of their real power on us" Sophie said, thinking. She tore her eyes away from the beautiful heaven in front of her and looked at her sister.
"Question; if we get hurt here, where do you think the earthquake will be?" Cat asked, Sophie rolled her eyes
"It's weird how your mind works" she muttered
"Well how do we get out of here, we gonna stay and take on some angels or we just gonna jump over the edge?" Cat wondered
"If there is an edge, this thing might run for miles" Sophie said looking around, there was a horizon but no indication of any end
"Well, there has to be a way down somewhere" Cat thought looking around
"Weird…" Sophie muttered
"What?" Cat asked
"It's weird that we're in heaven and we're trying to make it back to earth, normal people would usually want to stay here" Sophie explained
"Huh, yeah, normal people" Cat smirked. Sophie rolled her eyes but grinned.
"Alright, we need a way through" she muttered, Cat looked around
"Don't you think it's strange that no one seems to have noticed us yet?" she asked, Sophie looked at her before realising also
"Something's wrong" she thought. She grabbed Cat's hand and dragged her behind the nearest tree. Sophie looked out from behind it, trying to figure out why no one had come after them. Cat on the other hand put a hand on the tree
"Woah"
"What?" Sophie asked
"These are real" Cat said
"So?"
"So, how can a tree grow when there's no earth?" Cat asked "It's not connected to any" Sophie looked at her confused before shaking her head
"This is heaven, things are different here" she waved it off.
"No shit" Cat muttered "So think there's any way to get through here without getting into mischief?" Sophie turned to her, an 'are you serious' look on her face
"You're here, of course not" she said seriously
"Gee thanks" Cat rolled her eyes and looked around
"Can you find an exit?" Sophie asked her
"Sophie, we're standing on some weird glass, not earth" Cat reminded her
"So you can't feel any vibrations?" Sophie wondered, Cat shook her head
"Sorry". Sophie sighed and thought. She grabbed Cat and pulled her back behind the tree as she spotted several angels running towards the door they'd just come out off.
"I think they figured it out" she whispered to Cat
"Took them long enough, it's not like we were silent" Cat smirked
"You weren't" Sophie scolded, Cat shrugged, Sophie looked back at the door and as the last angel disappeared through it she grabbed Cat and they began to make their way across the glass floor
"Where are we going?" Cat wondered
"Anywhere but here" Sophie answered "We need to find an exit and that's not gonna happen just by standing around"
"Any idea which direction we should go in?" Cat questioned
"Hey, if we walk for long enough we're bound to find an exit somewhere." Sophie shrugged
"Think someone will tell us where it is?"
"Not if all these angels are looking for us" Sophie sighed
"Come on, if heaven doesn't have an edge like the earth doesn't then not every single angel in heaven can be on Zach's side, the dude's a idiot. And we can't be the only ones who believe mum and dad are innocent, if they're angels, then they should have some friends" Cat explained
"That's really logical" Sophie agreed "If only we could call mum and dad and ask" she grumbled, Cat looked at her like she was a genius
"You're a genius!" she beamed
"How?" Sophie questioned
"We'll call mum and dad and ask" Cat decided
"How? We don't have our phones" Sophie reminded her
"No, but they're electronic devices, I can find them" Cat reminded her
"I'm pretty sure they're not the only electrical devices here" Sophie thought
"Sophie, have you not looked at this place? What would angels do with electronics? I bet you they are the only electronic devices up here" Cat smirked, Sophie sighed and shrugged. The twins hid behind a building while Cat closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to find the electronic waves the cellphones gave off. They sat still for a few minutes before Cat's eyes flashed open
"Got them" she smirked
"Did you find an exit while you were at it?" Sophie wondered, Cat rolled her eyes
"Come on, we might pass an exit on our way" she took Sophie's hand and the two began to move off in the direction Cat sensed the phones to be. They snuck around behind the buildings, trees, bushes and other features in order to keep out of sight. Cat suddenly stopped
"Why aren't we just turning invisible and walking around?" she asked
"Cause we don't know if our invisibility works on angels" Sophie said logically
"Everything else does"
"We can't risk that" Sophie said "Plus, I can't see you when you're invisible" she reminded her before she pushed Cat along and continued to walk.
"You'd think being in heaven would be paradise" Cat grumbled
"Not if you're a prisoner here" Sophie muttered
"It's not like we did anything wrong" Cat complained
"Too bad" Sophie sighed as they continued to move. Cat stopped Sophie and they leaned against a wall just as several angels ran past.
"You know, for angels they're a lot like humans" Cat whispered
"Just more powerful" Sophie reminded her
"Doesn't seem like it" Cat thought, they waited a few more minutes before continuing on "Not only that, but am I the only one who thinks everything looks the same here?"
"You know, people probably say that about Forks" Sophie smirked
"Well, that's cause it's all just trees" Cat shrugged
"Well this place is all glass, buildings and bushes" Sophie shrugged, Cat rolled her eyes and returned her attention to where she was walking.
"Hey, you think I could break through this glass?" Cat wondered as they paused again for a second
"Not unless you want to draw attention to us. Not only that but it's probably not glass" Sophie admitted
"Looks like it" Cat shrugged
"Yeah, well this is heaven, looks can be deceiving." Sophie said
"Think what we're seeing is all a figment of our imagination, like heaven is only like this cause this is how we imagine it?" Cat asked as they sneaked behind a tree
"Maybe, guess we'll never know unless we're angels like these guys" Sophie whispered
"We are angels… apparently" Cat shrugged
"But not like these guys, that's why we're here remember" Sophie muttered
"Yeah, lucky us" Cat grumbled
"How close are we?" Sophie asked
"Uh…" Cat took a second "Not to far, but we don't know if there's a straight road there or not" she reminded her
"There bloody better be" Sophie hoped annoyed. They quickly jogged across an open space before ducking behind a bush and crouching on the ground
"Anyone see us?" Cat asked, Sophie turned around only to be pushed to the ground, the same happened to Cat and their arms and legs were pinned to the ground.
"I'd say yes" Sophie struggled against the holds. Two angels, both male, were holding the girls down
"Let us go!" Cat ordered, her body bursted into flames and the angels released her within the second, Cat swung her legs around and kicked the angel off of Sophie, the guy lunged back at them but Sophie, using some fluid moves, had his head to the floor within a few seconds.
"Come on" she ordered and the left the two angels and continued on
"I think we should be a little more stealthy" Cat decided
"I'm surprised we made it so far" Sophie confessed
"True" Cat nodded. They came to a halt as a few angels had paused and were talking a little ways in front of them, Sophie crashed into Cat's back before Cat dragged her into the building next to them. They shut the door before turning to the scene in front of them.
"Thank god it's not like a restaurant or something" Cat sighed with relief, they were standing in what looked like a weapons store.
"I don't know if that's good or not" Sophie muttered looking around
"Do angels need weapons?" Cat wondered
"Well, you can only kill certain things with certain objects" a voice sounded. The girls turned to their right to see an angel standing there admiring them. She had brown hair pulled into a side pony tail and was wearing the same white as everyone else. The girls stood a little worried for a minute "I'm guessing you're the two that have caused all of this commotion?" she asked, the twins glanced at one another before nodding.
"But, in our defence we wouldn't be causing a commotion if we hadn't been kidnapped in the first place." Cat defended
"I guess that's a point" the women smiled and walked towards them. "My name's Esther" the girls looked confused
"You're not gonna attack us and turn us over to Zach?" Sophie wondered, Esther chuckled
"Believe it or not, Zachariah doesn't own this place, he's just one to the higher ranking angels" Esther informed them.
"Wont you get in trouble if you don't tell him?" Cat asked
"Not if he never knew you were here" Esther smiled
"Tuche" Cat smiled
"So Esther, do you think you could help us?" Sophie wondered "We're trying to find the exit"
"Is there one?" Cat wondered
"Well, for most people that come here the only way out is for an angel to then them back" Esther informed them as the lead them through the room
"Most people?" Sophie wondered
"People who have passed on" Esther clarified "With a wave of their hand an angel can return a person back to their bodies on earth"
"Woah" the girls muttered in unison
"But for you two, it's different. You aren't dead" Esther stated
"I hope not" Cat muttered
"But there is another way? Right?" Sophie wondered
"Only one. Though angels don't use it very often" Esther admitted
"Could we use it?" Sophie asked
"I believe so" Esther nodded
"Best news I've heard all day, other then the fact that I could break that cage" Cat smiled
"Could you tell us where it is?" Sophie asked Esther, ignoring her sister.
"Well, it's not something you can just look for and use, this kind of door is different" Esther began
"Right because nothing is allowed to be easy" Cat complained
"Everyone sees this door as something different; some see a door, others see a staircase, some see an elevator or an escalator, some even see a gate" Esther explained
"So something that could carry you back downstairs?" Cat asked pointing at the floor, Esther nodded
"But if an angel just need to wave their hands to send people back, how come people see this door as different things? I don't believe many people would go through it?" Sophie wondered
"You're right, not many do. But we have a few people who have over the centuries, not many but a few." Esther admitted
"Wow, to think some people have just walked out of heaven" Cat muttered
"We're about to" Sophie reminded her
"But we're not normal, we don't count" Cat shrugged
"Can you please point us in the right direction of the door?" Sophie asked turning back to Esther
"With pleasure," Esther smiled
"I have a question," Cat began "Why are you helping us?" Esther smiled
"I knew your parents." she answered "Such lovely angels. You both look like them"
"Told you" Cat smirked tapping Sophie's shoulder, Sophie just rolled her eyes in response.
"Thank you so much Esther" Sophie smiled at her
"No problem, now, let me show you that door" Esther said. She walked to the back room of her store and began to rummage through a few things. She came back out with a compass and she handed it over to Cat
"A compass?" Cat asked
"It's not an ordinary compass" Esther smiled, Sophie looked over Cat's shoulder at the device
"You're right, it doesn't point North" Sophie noticed, the needle was pointing at an E
"It points East?" Cat asked
"No." Esther shook her head "It points to the Exit"
"A compass that points to heaven's exit?" Sophie asked surprised, Esther shook her head again
"It points to any exit, of wherever you are" she explained
"You're saying, that if you're lost somewhere, this will show us the way out, of any place?" Cat wondered, Esther nodded
"Including the exit of Heaven" she smiled
"Is there only one exit?" Sophie asked, Esther nodded
"Why?" Cat questioned
"We do not have need of it, it's there for people like you and as a precaution" Esther explained
"I'm guessing people can only go down and not up?" Cat wondered, Esther nodded
"Though we've never had someone find the exit and try to proceed up through it" she confessed.
"Does heaven have lots of these types of things?" Sophie asked pointing to the compass
"Not lots, but quite a few. This however happens to be one of a kind" Esther admitted, the twins looked at it before Cat held it out to Esther
"Then we can't take it" she decided, Esther smiled and shook her head, closing Cat's fingers over the compass
"Don't worry, this is no use to me. Angels do not need an exit to get out of somewhere" she admitted
"Can angels teleport?" Sophie wondered randomly, Esther nodded
"In a sense, yes"
"Wow, cool" Cat muttered she held the compass up and it turned, Cat shut her eyes for a second before she turned to Sophie "It's in almost the same direction as our phones" she smiled
"As if" Sophie said surprised, Cat nodded "What if we can't both go after the phones, and leave?" Sophie wondered
"We leave the phones, it's not like we can't buy new ones" Cat shrugged, Sophie rolled her eyes.
"Now, you might want to hurry up and get going, it wont be long before someone comes knocking" Esther nodded her head to the door, just as she said that someone did knock on the door. The twins jumped over the counter to hide behind it.
"Do you have a back door?" Sophie whispered, Esther nodded
"Around the back and through the office" she pointed
"Thank you, so much" Sophie gave Esther a hug before the twins ducked out around the back of the shop.
"Do you think she'll get in trouble for helping us?" Cat wondered
"I hope not" Sophie bit her lip as they found the office and walked through it quietly before heading to the only door left. Sophie turned the handle and they slipped back outside.
"Alright, now where?" Sophie whispered, Cat looked at the compass
"This way" she pointed, they walked around the corner only to be surrounded by several angels.
"Where, you ask? How about back to the cages?" Zachariah suggested as he walked through the small crowd of angels.
"Oh, and how are you going to keep us captive this time? The glass and metal didn't work" Cat spat at him. Zachariah smirked and Cat slammed up her shields, Sophie — getting hit by the force of Cat's shield — put her own up. They both felt the prick against their shields but they just glared at him.
"How is he still doing that?" Cat questioned
"He might have done something to us while we were out" Sophie realised
"Well, we need to figure it out once we leave" Cat decided
"We'll get Carlisle to take a look at us" Sophie assured her. When the girls didn't react to him Zachariah's grin faded into a glare
"Why the mad face Zach?" Cat asked seriously, he didn't answer but only clicked his fingers. All the angels around the girls launched at them.
Jacob's POV.
I was walking across the beach, looking out at the water, trying to distract me from thinking about Cat. She'd been gone seven days now, an entire week. I couldn't sleep anymore, and if I did I had nightmares about what Cat might be going through. At first I'd held it together, but now, after so long and no response, no clues or signs, I was beginning to panic. Sometimes I could hardly breath when I got thinking about her, my breath got caught in my throat. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what I could do. Embry was no different then he had been before, the only difference was he didn't run off when Caren or John found him in Sophie's room. Caren comforted him every now and then but even that couldn't calm him down. Nothing helped. I stopped and just stared at the water, I remembered the first day I met Cat here, sitting in this cold wind in just a t-shirt, how she held my hand for so long, the warmth of her skin against mine. What if something really bad had happened? I don't know what I would do. I was brought out of my thoughts when I suddenly began to shake. If took me a few minutes to realise it wasn't me that was shaking, it was the ground. It stopped after a few minutes and I stood their confused, there hadn't been an earthquake warning? I held my hands out as it shook for a second time. This wasn't normal, the only time we'd ever had an earthquake here was… I froze. I turned around and all out sprinted off towards Emily's house, running as fast as I could. The wind hit me in the face like ice and I realised it was stronger then usual, but I sped up and kept going. It only took me a few minutes before I burst through the door and into he lounge room. I stopped and everyone looked at me confused
"Jake, what's up?" Seth wondered, I didn't get the chance to answer before the house shook. The TV was on and a reporter was talking about the occurrences
"Scientists are baffled by the sudden simultaneous earthquakes that have began to hit most of the United States. Winds have also picked up to more then 80 knots in some areas, though the only severe conditions was the minor tornado that just passed through Colorado. The government is in discussion as to whether or not we should be concerned as researchers try to uncover the mystery behind the natural disasters." everyone looked at one another confused
"Earthquakes? Over the entire continent?" Leah questioned
"That's odd" Jared mumbled
"It's Cat" I said and every head turned towards me, serious expressions on their faces
"What do you mean it's Cat?" Kim questioned
"We never had earthquakes in Forks, not like this, until the twins arrived. Cat said that there's an earthquake when ever she gets hurt, it's the only explanation" I explained
"But this is happening all over the country, doesn't the earthquake only occur where she is?" Emily asked "She can't be everywhere at the same time"
"What about the winds?" Rachel questioned
"Sophie" Embry and I chorused
"She's just like Cat, only there's a tornado, the worse her injury the worse the tornado is, the same with Cat and the earthquakes" Embry remembered
"This is good, right? I mean, they're alive" Rachel guessed, everyone nodded but I frowned
"But they're hurt" I muttered "Or being hurt. It's the only reason there are earthquakes and strong winds"
"But, that probably means they escaped" Leah guessed "They were kidnapped which meant they were locked up somewhere"
"And now that there are disasters, they probably got free and are fighting their way out" Quil realised
"So they're trying to get home" Sam nodded
"But where are they? They can't be everywhere? How could the earthquakes be everywhere?" Seth asked, repeating Emily's earlier question. I shrugged, he was right, and we couldn't ask the twins parents without telling them about their powers, and that definitely wasn't our place to do.
"So we still have to wait?" Kim wondered, everyone nodded and Kim frowned, Jared kissed her cheek before hugging her close. There was another earthquake and I couldn't help but worry, as long as the earthquakes continued I knew she was being hurt, the fact they had begun meant she was actually alive, but if they stopped, I wouldn't know the reason; whether she was ok, or whether she was… I shook my head. She was Cat, she'd be fine, plus she had Sophie with her, and those two weren't easy to beat.
