Charlie's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~
Today is my thirteenth birthday. I have all of my friends surrounding me. Something is off with Dani but she says she'll tell me tomorrow.
I miss my parents but without them being missing it would just be me and Dani in our little town getting ready to go into the eighth grade. Without them Missing I wouldn't know Dan,Harley,or Riddley so I'm not really sad that they aren't here.
When I woke up I started to brush my hair and the hair brush slipped out of my hand and caught on fire. That must mean I have powers too! I need too go tell Dani and Dan! I ran down stairs and pulled the two into a corner.
"Why'd you do that" Dan whined.
"I have powers!"
"What?" Dani whisper yelled.
"When I was brushing my hair my hairbrush caught on fire!"
"We found another one yes!" Dani squealed fist pumping the air.
"What if everyone who's parents went missing have powers and that's why all of our parents went missing?" Dan concluded.
"I guess we'll have to find out"I replied.
"Hey Riddley when's your birthday?" Dani questioned.
"Next month" Riddley answered.
'Great, at least it's not in three months like Harley's' I thought to myself.
We stayed up late celebrating my birthday then we all piled outside to have a Bon fire. We brought out sleeping bags so we could sleep out there and we also brought stuff to make s'mores, and Dani brought out the radio and used magic to make it work without a plug.
We were listening to the radio when. 'This Is Gospel' came on and we all started singing at the top of our lungs.

"This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds
But they haven't seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go
If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
The fear of falling apart
And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

This is gospel for the vagabonds,
Naturals and insufferable bas*****
Confessing their apostasies
Led away by imperfect impostors

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

Don't try to sleep through the end of the world
Bury me alive
'Cause I won't give up without a fight

If you love me let me go
If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
The fear of falling apart
And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear of falling apart
Oh, the fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart

Oh (This is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart"

After we finished singing our hearts out I got tired and laid down, and once I hit the pillow I let darkness take over me.
