Lauren's Pov

"Jack?" I said making a strangled gasp. "How could you."

How could Jack be the spy? I trusted him, he was my ex-boyfriend. I could never have even guessed. I- I didn't know what to think or how to feel.

"How could you work for them?" Andy said. I could feel his anger start rising. I could feel how betrayed he felt.

"How could you betray us like that?" I said, my emotions leaking through my voice.

"Betray you? How could you even-" Rebecca started angrily before Jack cut him off.

"Rebecca, I got this," Jack said, putting an arm on her shoulder. Rebecca deflated.

"Andy, you betrayed the Inner Circle. They helped me, saved my life actually. It seems only fitting that I get to betray you for the Inner Circle.

"That's not the same thing," Andy said quietly.

"You still betrayed the Inner Circle, ever think about that? You did that before they even did anything to you so that just makes it worse." Jack said.

"You little-" Andy said. 

He put his hand up to use his powers, but Jack took out a knife and held it in front of him. A golden knife, the one that Mia hid in the weapons storage room, "You might want to not do that"

Andy slowly put his hands down while staring at the knife in shock. I took a step back. "How did you find that?" I said.

"It wasn't too hard. Your friend Mia isn't that great at hiding stuff. It was in a duffel bag at the bottom of a barrel. Creative but terrible hiding place." Jack said, twirling the knife.

"How did you even get in there? It's locked and Lorna has the key." Andy said stepping in front of me ever so slightly.

"I may be bad at killing people but I'm not totally useless. I know how to pick locks." Jack said as if it was obvious.

"What do you want?" I said.

"You ask that question a lot. You know that." Rebecca said, rolling her eyes. "Like every time I've seen you since I resurrected."

I looked at the ground. My powers were active, I was too nervous. I needed to calm down. I needed control of my powers if we were going to make it out of here alive.

"So do I get to kill them with my powers or are you going to use your stupid fancy knife," Rebecca said.

"I'm using my knife that is not stupid. It's cool Rebecca." Jack said. They kept bickering with each other.

I looked at a pen that must have rolled off of one of the tables. It was rolling towards me slowly. I watched as it stopped rolling and started shaking in place. It slowly disintegrated. Shit. Not good. Andy's powers were active too. If we both weren't totally in control of our powers I didn't see a way to get out of this. If our powers were acting on their own, they were harder to make do what we wanted. Andy and I exchanged a look he noticed too. This was not good.

"Ok, so you're using your..." Rebecca said before she started coughing. Jack looked at her in shock.

I looked at Andy, he was staring at Rebecca. I looked back to Rebecca, she was on her knees couching with Jack next to her. Then I noticed it, her hands were disintegrating.

She turned to Andy and me, "What are you doing? Stop it," she said in between coughing. She was looking at us terrified. Jack was gripping her arms as her entire body turned to dust. I looked at Andy shocked. Did we kill her? I mean cool, I hated that bitch, but still, she was supposed to be immortal.
