Chapter 1: Elizabeth P.O.V.

2 YEARS AGO

"And the homework is..." the bell rang interrupting her, she continued speaking but it was inaudible.

"Sorry teach, not said in class doesn't count" I said as I swung my backpack over my shoulder, smiling at Mrs. Heinz, it was a joke between us.

"Okay Liz I'll see you tomorrow," she waved smiling at me as I walked out the door to lunch. Little did I know I would never see her again.

"Hey Liz!" I heard Ethan call from behind me. He ran up to me and gave me a hug. We didn't have any morning classes together and both missed our other half by lunch. We lined up in the cafeteria to get our food and saw that the special today was spaghetti and meatballs. As we slid our trays down the line the lunch lady greeted us.

"Hello darlings, what's for lunch today?" She asked.

"Spaghetti and meatballs with a small salad please" Ethan and I said in unison, some call it creepy we just call it awesome.

"Here you go dears, now have a nice day" she said as she scoped the spaghetti and meatballs onto the tray and handed us our salads. We went and sat down at our regular table with a couple of our other friends. We began talking but my mind wandered off into daydreams. I was snapped out when I saw a kid I didn't recognize come up behind Ethan, a syringe ready in his hand.

"Ethan watch out!" I yelled and Ethan turned around face to face with the kid.

"Whoa dude! Chill for a sec no need to use that" said Ethan, eyeing the syringe "just put it dow OW!" He yelled as the kid stabbed the needle into his upper arm.

"Ethan!" I yelled, I didn't know what was in there or what it would do to Ethan. He fell to the ground in pain, whatever he was injected with was doing something to him, changing him.

"Liz help me!" He yelled. I ran over to him and tried to sit him up but the moment I made contact with his skin I was blasted back with a volt of electricity. Luckily the bushes cushioned me but it still hurt. I had no clue what to do or how to help my brother. "Liz I have to get to the nurse"

"No brother, we are most definitely not going to the nurse. Do you want to end up a science experiment? No, I didn't thinks so. We are going home and mum will know what to do" I walked over to him and lifted him up and put his arm around my shoulder. I felt electricity surging through my body. It hurt and I was in unbearable pain but I tolerated it to help my brother.

When we got to the street I waved down a taxi and we climbed in.

"Where to?" He asked

"24 Blackbird drive please," and with that he took off.

"Liz what's happening to me?" Ethan whispered, sounding genuinely scared.

"I don't know Ethan but mum and I will do everything we can to help you," the rest of the ride we sat in silence. When the taxi pulled up in front of our flat I reached into my pocket and gave him 35 pounds. I lifted up Ethan, feeling a surge of electricity through my body again, and helped him up the stairs. When we got to the top I got out my keys and opened the door.

"Mum! Are you home?" I yelled.

"Yes sweetheart!" She yelled back, "aren't you two supposed to be at sch.." I saw her expression drop as she rounded the corner and saw me supporting Ethan and wincing from the pain of the electricity surging through my body.

"Oh dear, they knew you were of age and came for you" she said with a worried expression.

"What do you mean mum?"
