Dina's POV

Stanley and I made a pack the day after the dance to find Sydney. We read her journal, to see what Brad was going on about that night, and to my disbelief, I am horrified.

Does Sydney have powers? Is that why Brad was killed? Because she used that power to hurt someone I liked and maybe loved? I can't even begin to imagine how she thought she could keep this from me or Stanley.

Does her mom know?

Does her little brother Liam?

"Hey, Dina." A familiar voice said to me.

"Sydney?"

"Hey look it's the freak." A jock hollered at Sydney.

"Look what happened to Brad at the dance?"

"His blood on her hands!"

"She left because she knows what she did that night."

"Everyone! SHUT UP!" Stanley yelled.

Chaos erupted in the hallway. The jocks pushed Stanley to the ground and grabbed Sydney and dragged her hard by the arms down the steps to the entry-level of the school.

"LET ME GO!!!" Sydney screamed kicking and thrashing at the jocks.

Out of nowhere, a man halted the jocks as the jocks came to a stop. I gathered Stanley next to me as we watched the unknown manhandle the jocks.

"Who is that?" Stanley asks me.

"Sydney's uncle maybe?"

"Listen, buddy. We have a score to settle with little Sydney here." One jock spoke.

The man smiled cruelty. "Let her go." The jocks drop Sydney on the ground and walk away in a single file line back towards Stanley and me.

"Jonathan, what happened?" Stanley asks to pull him to the side.

"What do you mean?" Jonathan questioned. "Look nothing happened, now I must go and get to class with the others." Jonathan steps away and heads down the hall.

"What the hell? How can he not know what happened?" I asked.

Unknown's POV

Sending the jocks away, I found one of them. Now to find the other one before it's too late. Sydney will help me find her.

"Let me go." Sydney kept screaming at me as we got to my car outside of the school.

"I told you to keep quiet." I sneered at her forcing her into the backseat. "You caused me a lot of trouble leaving, and letting Ashley escape."

"I lost you both once. I won't allow myself to either of you again. Do you understand?"

"I'm sorry okay. Please just let me see Liam and his mom." Sydney cried to me.

Ashley's POV

What is it like to be free? I'll tell you. It's magical. I lived in fear for so long under everyone. Freedom is what one longs for when they never felt before.

My name is Ashley. I have no family. My mother died of an overdose while taking care of me. My father was killed by bad people. I am a teenager who has powers or some would call abilities.

My entire life changed one day when a man appeared the night my mom died. I ran away from home, cops knew how bad of a mom I had, but they never did a thing about it.

Flashback...

Ashley's POV

As I heard the sirens approach the house. I decided to open the back window and dash for it into the woods.

"Why so sad little one?" A musky voice asks.

"It's nothing. Leave me alone." I cried.

"You don't have to lie to me. I just want help." I look at the person talking and he was wearing all black clothing with black mist surrounding him. "Take my hand Ashley, and I can help you."

"Why should I believe you?"

The man stepped towards me. "I have powers too. I would hate to see another person suffer and go through it alone." He answered. "What you're going through with your powers, family, school, it's normal to feel the odd one."

"Who are you?"

~present day~

Stanley's POV

Dina and I reported to the principal office after lunch period. As we sat there waiting to see the principal the jocks exited the principal office and walked past us kicking our legs.

"Later losers." The jocks laughed.

"The principal will see you both now." The vice-principal announced from her office.

Dina and I enter the principal office taking a seat in the chairs across from his desk. "I'm sure you're both wondering why I called you both here."

Dina and I both shake our heads, as he turned his computer around showing us this morning footage of Sydney being dragged by the jocks.

But here is the thing...
