I stared into the mirror. Why were my eyes blue?
No.no no no no...
I ran from the bathroom, grabbed my phone, and shot a text to the boys.
WE ALL NEED TO TALK. NOW! MEET IN 5 @ DOCK!
Instant messages shot back.
WHATS WRONG? - Shelton
IM BARELY OUTTA BED - Hi
ALREADY HERE. WHATS WRONG? - Ben
I would explain when I got there, right now, I needed to sneak past Whitney and Kit without breaking down. Ok. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. After I was calm, I shoved a Bolton Prep hoodie around my waist and rushed downstairs. I grabbed a cinnamon bun and started for the door. "Tory?" Whitney called, "why are you leaving so soon? You still have about half an hour." I searched for an excuse. "Me and Ben are going for a walk before school!" Seriously? Blargh. Oh well. I could feel her smile from the other room. "Ok sweetie! Have fun!" I dashed out the door as soon as the last word left her mouth.
... ... ... ... ..."Tory what's wrong?" Ben grabbed both my arms and looked dead in my eyes. Hi and Shelton stood on either side of us. I looked at each one of the boys before saying, "I flared." Everyone was stunned. "What?!? Flared?!" - Shelton
"You're not serious right now are you?" - Hi
"Tory we drank the antidote. Our powers are gone." - Ben
"No. They're back. Except-" I trailed off debating on telling them. "Except what? Tory what happened?" Ben stared. Concerned. "My eyes burned blue." I finally said. Ben let go of my arms and took two steps back. Hi looked at me like I was crazy. Shelton just stood there. Mouth wide open. I sighed. Reached deep inside me. I didn't have to reach far.
SNAP.
The flare blazed through my viens and I felt stronger than I had ever been. As if on cue, the boys lit up. By their faces, unexpectedly. I could see Coop clearly even from my house. I felt the connection between the boys. My pack. We were all starttled.
Can anyone hear me? I sent. 3 head nods.
I can't believe it. Our flares are actually back. - Shelton.
How? - Ben.
The government agency. The liquid they injected us with was blue. It was the only reasonable explanation. We have to talk to Chance.No one disagreed. 5 minutes later we were in Ben's blue Explorer. No one spoke. I started thinking about mustache and buzz-cut. I imagined cages. Being treated like animals. Ben, sensing worry, squeased my hand. In return, I squeased his. We rounded the corner and dashed through the front door where we saw Chance walking out. He was stunned by our appearance at first, then smiled. "What's up friends?"
"We flared." I got straight to the point. "Our eyes glowed blue." He looked astonished and terrified. "Impossible." He muttered under his breath. "I gave you the antidote. You're cured."
"Apparently not." Shelton.
"Something weird is going on dude." Hi.
"Tory has a theory." Ben.
Chance looked at me. Nodded. Then said,"Let's take this to my office."
... ... ... ... ... ...
I explained my theory to Chance as he leaned against his desk. He had a concentrated look on his face. When I was done, he mumbled something under his breath.
"Well?..." - Ben.
"Its possible. I mean they did have your notes." - Shelton.
"Dude, I don't even know what to think." - Hi.Chance shook his head. "No! They don't know the right temperature to set them to! Its impos-" He was cut off by pain. He clutched his chest and fell on the floor. "Chance!" I half yelled. Ben and Hi helped him up. His eyes were also blue. Crap.
"What was that?" - Hi
"I don't know. It was like this surge of....electricity. It was surging through my body. Gosh it feels, strong. Not like before. "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
I grabbed my phone to see Ella texted me. Not good.
"Uh... guys." My voice was shaky. 4 heads whipped toward me. "Its Ella..... her flare is back too."
