Chapter 6

~Cal's POV~

Dad and I just finished our pizzas. "If I go on another ride, I'll yak." I groan. "You and me both" my dad agrees. "Let's go home". As soon as he says that, I hear another voice in my head. "Protect Thomas". The voice says. Who is Thomas? I look at my dad.
He made a weird face, similar to the one he made earlier while I was playing Fortnite."Let's go home but only if the coin says so." He corrects himself. He gives me the coin and I nod. "Heads, we hit the subway. Tails, we stay." I said while I flipped the coin. It lands on tails.

All of a sudden I felt an urge calling me towards the subway? It was like the voice in my head was controlling my body. Was this like when all the passengers gathered at the airport when the plane exploded? I had to think fast. It wasn't like my dad was going to believe me if I said "hey dad a random voice in my head told me to go to the subway. Can we go?" He might think I was crazy if I said that. I had a quick idea. Maybe if we go home and take the subway and I could follow the voice. I decided to lie and say the coin landed on the heads so my plan would work.

"Home. The f train is right over there." I told my dad. "Shouldn't we just take a Lyft" he disagrees. "Come on, dad. Keep it random" I say convincingly. He quickly follows me toward the subway.

Once we got on the subway and all I could think about was Thomas. I was so invested in my thinking, I didn't even notice that people were taking pictures of us. Since we came back from the flight we're like celebrities. It was cool at first but it's getting annoying now.

My dad was trying to hold people back from getting towards us. I just ignored him and left him on the subway. At this point, I wasn't even controlling my body. It's like the voice was. It's funny. Today was about not letting things control you. Ironic isn't it?

"Cal! This isn't our stop we're still in Manhattan." He says. "It's part of the game dad, this way" I lie quickly. I start running throw a crowd of people. I hear my dad telling me to stop but I just kept going.

"It's all connected," the voice in my head says. "Cal! Listen to me! Stop!" "Don't worry, dad. It's all connected!" I say as I continue to follow the voice's directions.

I follow the voice until I reach this small vent. I opened it and climbed inside. My dad continues to yell at me to stop. I can't stop. I have to follow the voice. I come across another vent which I break down with my foot to get it open.

When I open the vent I see a small room with a man inside. He must be Thomas. The man looks at me with confusion. I introduce myself. "Hi. I'm Cal. Are you Thomas?" He doesn't answer. He just looks at me surprised. He then looks up at my dad with confusion.

~Violet's POV ~
So far we have done three "trials" of the testing. Klaus says he starting to feel a little pain but I didn't feel anything at all. It honestly felt like I was being charged. "We are now starting trial four of our testing" Brenner spoke. I look over to Klaus who doesn't look so good. "Klaus are you okay? You don't look so good" I asked him. "I'm fine," he said weakly. I nod my head unconvinced. "Alright begin," Brenner said.

The trials are the same every time. I lie down and pretend I'm in pain. I look over at Klaus to make sure he's doing the same. Wow. He's good a actor. He looks like he's hurting.

Suddenly, I hear a monitor starting to beep beside me. I look over and it was Klaus. He wasn't acting this time. He started to shake violently. Then, there was this tornado of electricity around him. "Stop! Someone help my brother please!" I screamed. "Stop the trial," Brenner says.

Everyone quit groaning in pain. Then, I see a couple of nurses surround my brother. They quickly move him to a separate area.

I start to feel nervous. What if he dies? It will be all my fault. I can't let that happen. I start praying that my brother is ok.

All of a sudden, I start to think of a memory I shared with Klaus.

*Flashback*
Since my dad left, my mom wasn't nice as usual. Instead, she was cold and mean. I asked Klaus why she was like this and he said it was because she was stressed.

I decided to draw her portrait to make her happy. I spent half an hour drawing her. I worked so hard on it.

I went into the living room. The first thing I see is Klaus on the couch reading a book and my mom on the other couch watching tv.

"Look, mommy! I drew you" I said with excitement while holding up my picture. She looks at the picture with disgust. "Violet what is this! This looks horrible! You didn't even get my eyes right! You're a failure and a horrible daughter! No wonder your father left! He probably left because of you and I don't blame him." She tells harshly. She then rips my picture into pieces.

I run to my room sobbing. Am I the reason dad left? Did he ever love me? I hear a knock on the door.

"Vi? It's me, can I come in?" He says. I don't say anything. He comes in anyway. He looks heartbroken at the sight of me crying my eyes out.

"Why doesn't dad love me?" I ask. He sighs and sits next to me. He starts hugging me. "Dad loves you a Vi! He cares about all of us. If he didn't he would have left a long time ago." "Then why did he leave now!" I yelled at Klaus. He stays silent for a moment.

"I don't know Vi, all I know is that he loves us. There has to be a reason why he left." "I'm probably the reason" "No. Don't you ever let me hear you say that. You are amazing Vi! You smart, beautiful and without you, I would fall apart." "I would fall apart without you too".  "I love you Vi." "I love you too"

We hug each other for a moment. Then I start to think about my mom. "Why is mommy so stressed." Klaus thought for a moment. "I guess because it's hard taking care of us alone. But what she said to you wasn't right." I nod my head in agreement. "She's a bad mom" Klaus couldn't say anything. I think it's because deep down he knows I was right. "Don't worry. It will get better."

*End of Flashback*

'Don't worry, it will get better' I thought to myself. I just hope it will get better. Because without Klaus, I will fall apart.
