The Six

Chapter Six

Calliope woke up in Oliver's room. "Where am I?" Calliope slowly got up. She pressed her hand against her head in pain. "Easy there tiger. We didn't want you to wake up alone. And we had a vote and I have the comfiest bed." Oliver smiled and sat down next to Calliope. "Plus I wanted to be here when you woke up." He chuckled and pressed a cool cloth against Calliope's head. Oliver leaned against the wall and Calliope lay her head in his lap. He held the cloth to her head and she fell asleep.

"What's going on?" Dallas awoke with a fright. He was in the cold training room. Claire was sitting next to him. "Get away from me! I don't want to hurt you!" Dallas scooted away from Claire. He looked around and gasped. "Where's Cali? Is she okay." Dallas began to hyperventilate again. "Calm down. She's okay. That Oliver boy took her back to your living quarters." Claire spoke softly. "Dallas it's okay. You won't hurt me." Claire smiled and moved towards him. Dallas suddenly felt a wave of power wash over him and a he saw a bright light.

"You wont hurt me" a voice spoke to Dallas. It was too bright to see who said it. "I wouldn't trust that. I'm dangerous." That voice was from Dallas but he didn't say anything. "Dallas you won't be able to get better unless you let me help you control this." the voice continued. "Now focus on me. You've got this." the voice sounded confident. "Okay..." but Dallas didn't. "Easy there. Dallas. You're hurting me." Dallas couldn't stop. "Dallas stop." Dallas saw red. "Dallas you need to stop. I can't see." Dallas tried to stop it. The voice started screaming. "Dallas please! You're killing me!" Dallas screamed. Everything went quiet.

"Dallas?" Claire waved her hand in front of Dallas's face. "You went blank for a minute." Claire laughed. "I saw something." Dallas gasped. "I think I just saw the future." Claire stopped laughing. "What happened?" She leaned in close. "I think I killed someone." Dallas sat in silence. Claire didn't speak.

"Hey wake up sleepy head." Oliver poked Calliopes nose. "Huh?" Calliope swatted his hand away and rolled over, off of the bed. "Ouch." She woke up and looked around confused. "Nice going." Oliver laughed and got up. Calliope stood up and looked in the mirror. Her brown hair need a trim. It was getting to her butt. Her freckles were still wacko. But her Eyes seemed different. They were a warm brown. They were usually cold. She looked at Oliver. She smiled at him. "I'm gonna go get dressed." She quickly kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the room. Oliver held his hand to his cheek and smiled. Dr. Levin walked in and looked at everyone. "Normally we would do our sessions, but now that there is more of you. We decided to do something different. Follow me." They followed Dr. Levin into the training room. "Now I will assign you a partner." Dr. Levin took a deep breath. "Calliope, you're with Nick." Nick groaned. Calliope smiled sarcastically. "Sawyer, you're with Claire" Sawyer smiled. "Oliver, you're with Dakota." The two high fived and laughed. "Lisbeth, you're with Colin." Lisbeth smiled at Colin but he just looked down. "Payton, you're with Jess" Payton smiled and pointed at his back and she pointed at hers. "And Dallas, you're with Amelia." Dallas felt the pit in his stomach grow. The situation felt too familiar. "Now you are going to fight. But don't worry we are monitoring everything." Everyone gasped and looked at their partners. Nick looked at Calliope. "Sorry, but this is going to hurt." He laughed and Calliope snickered. "Oh really now?" They tackled each other laughing. Everyone started laughing and fighting. Except for Dallas. Claire looked at him and smiled. "Hey what's wrong kid?" Amelia smiled at Dallas. "You won't hurt me." Amelia laughed and pointed at the window. "They won't let you" Dallas took a deep breath. "Come on, just do it, you won't be able to control it any better if you don't practice." Amelia braced herself. "If you start to hurt me I'll tell you ok?" Dallas nodded. He focused on her and closed his eyes. Amelia took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Dallas felt the pit in his stomach go away and he laughed. "You're gonna regret this!" He laughed and focused on her mind. He started to push through it, he found memories of her and Nick being together. "You and Nick huh?" Dallas chuckled. "Yea! Wow that's really cool. We've been together for about 6 years now!" She turned to look at Nick and winked at him. He grinned at her before getting tackled by Calliope again. Amelia laughed. "Now focus on me okay! You got this. Lets see what you can really do!" Amelia spoke with so much confidence. "Okay..." Dallas felt the pit return. He focus on Amelia, he felt his face heat up. No one was paying attention this time. "Woah Dallas slow down, that hurts." Amelia got dizzy and almost fell over. "I can't stop Amelia." Dallas closed his eyes. The pit in stomach churned. "Dallas please stop, I can't see." Amelia fell to the ground. She held her head in her hands. Dallas couldn't respond. "Dallas! Stop!" Dallas tried to pull back but he was stuck. "I can't something is blocking me from leaving." Dallas's nose started to bleed again. Amelia screamed in agony. Sawyer heard her. "Woah Dallas stop!" Sawyer tried to shake Dallas out of his trance. Calliope heard Sawyer yell and let go of Nick. "What the-" Nick saw Amelia on the ground. "What did you do to her!" Nick runs over towards Amelia. There is blood leaking from her ears. "Dallas! You're killing her!" Dallas screamed and fell to the ground. Both Dallas and Amelia went limp. Sawyer raced towards Amelia. "She's dead." Nick whispered. "No." Sawyer yelled. He grabbed her arm and put his hand on her head. His hand started to glow. "Sawyer what are you doing!" Calliope screamed. Sawyer fell on the ground next to Amelia. Amelia's chest moved. "She's breathing again." Nick cried and hugged Amelia. Calliope looked at Sawyer. She didn't see him move. She fell to her knees. "Sawyer" She touched him, but he was cold. "He's alive." Colin spoke up. "He give her his life source." Everyone turned towards Colin. "What the hell does that mean?" Calliope yelled. "She was dead, and he gave her his source of life. He isn't dead, but he's in a dormant state. Almost like a coma. He's awake. He can hear you and feel you, but he can't do anything about it." Colin said calmly. "And how do you know that?" Lisbeth snapped. "We can all do it. We are all connected to each other. When one of us is in danger, we can help, like the other day, I absorbed some of the damage that would've went to you, so that you wouldn't have permanent brain damage. I gave you a portion of my life source, and it's slowly coming back. As you healed I got my source back" Calliope looked at Amelia. "So, my brother gave his life source to her." Colin nodded. "And how do we get him back?" Colin sighed. "Well that's tricky, Amelia has to either die, or someone else has to give up their life source." Calliope looked at Amelia. She looked at Sawyer. Calliope took a deep breathe and got up. She left. "What happended?" Amelia opened her eyes and saw Dallas. "I killed Sawyer." Dallas looked down.
