The Chosen.

Soul Tie

"I need to talk to you guys." I exclaim and i sprint quickly through the door of the pod. Zeke and Tom rise from the dining table where they sat and played a hand of cards. Mia and Bill peak their heads out from their rooms.

My throat burns all the way down into my heaving chest as i bend over panting. I ran all the way here, including three flights of stairs. I hate to admit it but i'm not in as much shape as i used to be.

"So i went to the restricted floor." I breathlessly say, as i grasp my aching ribs and my face contorts.

"God, what is it with you and the word restricted. It's like a fucking magnet to you." Tom throws his head back but i can see a chuckle that he stifles.

"Dude, I know right!!" My eyes widen as i agree. "But anyways, I found a lot of shit out that you guys are not going to fucking believe." 

At first, the boys were angry at the fact that trials start again in two weeks time but as soon as i told them about the storage room and the man from the road, that all seemed to dissipate. Gasps fill the room as i explain to each of them about their files that i found. I mention that Faith found me, giving me all the knowledge she could to help us on our journey.

"She said we're The Chosen and we're the only ones who can do it." My heart seems to have lightened as i no longer carry the burden of this secret to myself. But at the same time, i feel incredibly guilty for now having put that same burden on my friends.

"Did she give you the coin?" Zeke asks.

"...Yeah but like... a little over a week ago." I give a sheepish smile hoping the rest of them aren't mad at me, even though they have every right to be.

"June!" Mia yells at me. I bite my lip. I've had plenty of opportunities to tell her. We spent almost every waking moment together now. But even in our deepest moments of conversation, i couldn't bring myself to tell her. 

"Also... there's something else." I murmur looking between Bill and Tom.

"What?" Tom's face turns pale as I glance between them, his lips press together making my mind momentarily cloud. 

The panic racing through my mind makes me want to throw myself against him, my lips pressed firmly on his. Kissing him is always makes everything else disappear, at least for a moment anyways. But i can't, this is pertinent and they need to know.

"So... when i was reading my file. I kind of found out that I'm adopted too. When i was in my biological mothers stomach i was experimented on... and so were you two" I mutter softly, pointing to the twins. 

"Wait, what?" Bill asks, his black eyebrow piercing glistening in the light as his dark brows furrow.

I take a deep breath, preparing myself. "When we were still in our bio mothers bellies, we were here. They experimented on us and were actually able to connect our consciences. They soul tied all three of us together."

Tom looks deeply into my eyes, "A connection deeper than we could ever fathom."
