"Though there passing was unexpected. Hazel and John were great friends. Great parents. Hazel ran away from her abusive foster family. A great deal happened to her. I truly believe that if anyone else went through what she endured. They wouldn't have made it to adolescence. But despite all she endured she never failed to making every person she came into contact with smile. John. He was an idiot. He was reckless but every time I saw him. He looked like he carried the weight of world on his shoulder. That was when he met Hazel. She managed to bring about of my brother that I had never seen before. He was happy. They were happy. Someone decided that it was there turn to die. There son now has to grow up with out his parents. My condolences go to him. He's already lost so much at such a young age." A stranger that I've never met said.

I looked to my left and saw Alice and Dexter. On my right Haley. They had warned me that hunters would still be after me. They were just my protection.

"John saved my life once. It was my darkest hour. I was ready to end it all. Everyone in my life had given up on me. John tho he visited me regularly. I felt crazy for so long and then John he brought me back from over the edge. He gave me a home. A family. He was a hero to a lot of people. I am just so thankful for everything he has done for me." Another stranger said.

Now it was my turn. I didn't know what to say. Everyone they praised my dad. But I barely knew him.

"My dad he was never around. He was always busy with work. I hated him for it. But hearing everything that he's done for others it just makes me wish he done a little more for me. For as long as I can remember it was me and my mum. Just me and her. I remember coming home from school one day. From the end of my street I could smell the blueberry muffins that she baked. The only thing that mattered to her was I was happy. I loved for it. I remember sitting late at night with a bag of chips and ice-cream everyday hoping, waiting for my dad. One day I was sitting in class when the receptionist came to take me out of class. My dad he came home. That day was one of my most memorable memories. It was the first time he told me he loved me. We watched a the Avengers movie when it had just released in theatres. I loved it. I loved everything about it. That day by the end I was in tears. I just miss them... so..much." I began to cry my eyes out.

I slowly walked back to my seat. Dexter, Haley and Alice all come to sit next to me.

"Hey Xavier it's alright. It's alright." Haley's voice spoke.

"We have a problem." Alice's voice spoke like a melody.

"What's the matter kid." Dexter asked.

"Two hunters are in this room. They've been here this whole time." Alice's voice carried a worried tone.

"Then we need to get outer here." Dexter stated.

"Not without showing of a abilities to the humans we won't." Haley stated.

"Then we need a distraction." I piped up.

"I think it's to late." Alice said. "Look."

Sure enough a stranger was walking closer and closer towards us never take his blood thirsty eyes off of us.

"Hey Xavier. I'm your uncle." The stranger said. "My name is Nathaniel.

"Hi. I've never seen you at family reunions. How do I know your my uncle." I questioned.

"I mean I don't know how to prove myself to you. I'm sorry. The reason you haven't seen me before. Is because I mixed into the wrong crowd. I didn't want them finding out about my family. They would've used it as leverage to get to me." Nathaniel said. "So who are your friends."

"Xavier tell him our names. Just try not to reveal to much." Alice's voice in my head said.

"This is Alice, Dexter and Haley." I said gracefully.

"How did you meet them." Nathaniel curiously asked.

"I met them at the park. On the rare occasion my dad was here he took me to the park. One of those times I met these guys. We've been friends ever since." I confidently stated.

"Ok then. It was nice to meet you. Xavier." My uncle said. Then he walked away.

"Okay now we need to go." Dexter said.

We all snuck outside and hid behind a bush making sure no one saw us and everything dissolved back into the underground place were people like us live.
