Alex's P.O.V

*************

"Why don't you just talk to me Alex?" She sighed and walked over lying her small hands over my chest.

"I- I cant" I shook my head and held onto her wrists, I tried pushing away but she resisted.

"It won't hurt anyone Alex." She smiled lightly looking up at me with those misty blue eyes.

"Yes it will. Its hurt people before, people who didnt deserve it. I can't let it happen again." I hung my head and closed my eyes thinking back to every memory I had with my brothers.

I felt her warm hand cup over my cheek as she ran smooth circles with her thumb. "None of that was your fault Alex, you can't save everyone." She sighed lightly just as a loud shot rang through the air.

"Archer!" Noah shouted.

I jolted upright in my bed and looked around frantically. I was in my room.

It was all just a dream.

That girl was starting to mess with my head, and I didnt even know her!

"Archer!" I heard a shout again.

I groaned and got up slipping on a pair of gray sweatpants and trotted down the stairs.

"What the hell is the need for all the shouting." I grunted, shaking my messy curls and evening them out a bit.

"This is getting out of hand man." Drew sighed and crossed his arms looking over at the tv.

I shook my head and stood next to him looking at the news that was playing.

"Today in the early hours of the morning, more people were found murdered. However this time it was not a shooting, it's what police say looks like, a gang sign. The bodies of 19 year old  Brooke Peters and her boyfriend, 21 year old Thomas Jones were found butcher and scattered in the shape of what looks to be a '6'. Police say they are working hard on the case and doing all that is possible to figure out who is causing this pain, and why. My name is Cynthia Roberts and this is channel 9 news." The woman on the screen signed off with a small smile and a quick nod.

Trevor shut off the Tv and tossed the remote onto the couch. "What the hell are we going to do." He sighed cupping his hands behind his neck.

"Every time we go and try to stop he's they're doing, they've already had it going for hours!" Noah leaned over the couch crossing his arms on the back of it.

"This kind of shit doesn't happen here Archer, if this keeps going and the cops get no leads who do you think they're going to suspect." Trevor raised an eyebrow and held out his arms signaling around.

"They said the bodies were used to shape a '6' right, well lets find out the gangs that start with a 6 in the name and find out who and where they are." I dialed Marcus's number and tossed the phone to Drew.

He nodded and walked off to take the call in another room.

"What if they do something else?" Blake looked around and walked over standing beside me.

"What if? Hell, whats next!" Noah shouted pointing to the screen. "They set a forest on fire and burned it down, they killed 18 innocent people, six being kids! And now they butchered a couple to make a god damned number. They're going to do something and if we stay here doing nothing they'll get away with it too!" He stormed off breathing heavily.

Blake turned to follow him but I put my hand on his shoulder holding him back. "Let him cool off." I sighed.

"Alex.." He looked up at me and shook his head opening his mouth to say something else.

"I know he's right." I nodded and he closed his mouth.

"What are we going to do." Trevor sat down on the couch and shook his head staring at the Tv.

"It's no doubt we can't do anything until we find out who these guys are. When we do thats when we take action, but for right now there's no telling what they're going to do or when they're going to do it." I looked over at him and then to Blake leaving the room at a quiet stand still.

Britney's P.O.V

**************

"Did you hear about those people who got chopped up?" Nia bounced into my room an plopped onto my bed.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow and looked up from my book.

"This couple got completely butchered, it looked like something out of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie." She shuddered and shook her head.

"The worlds going to shit." I sighed and looked back to my book.

"Even this little one horse town is starting to fall." She sighed lying back on the bed.

"Who do you think is doing all this?" She turned her head to look at me and pulled the book out of my hands.

I sighed and rolled my eyes crossing my arms on my lap. "What do you mean, what else has happened." I shrugged.

"The forest, those people at the grocery store, and now this?" She raised and eyebrow talking in a 'hello?' tone.

"You're saying the same people are doing it?" I raised an eyebrow and put a pillow behind me to lean back against.

"This is all happening day after day, if it's not the same people then a crap load of people got inspired by the Purge because it's not normal." She laughed softly and stared up at the ceiling.

"Well whatever it is lets just try staying out of it." I smiled and poked her stomach.

She smiled pulling we shirt down. "You don't need to tell me that twice."
