Zale POV
I lay awake on my bed thinking about Liz. I knew it was rude to treat her like that, but I really don't want her to get hurt. I stared at my window. As I did something else came to mind. Brooke and Kelsey.
I could tell Erin didn't like Brooke, but she wasn't who I was worried about. Something in Kelsey's eyes vaguely reminded me of the day I first found out about my powers. The day with the mist.
-Flashback-
I layed in my race car bed trembling. I was scared that the shadow monster I saw on tv was going to come and eat me. I looked out the window and I saw the lights on across the way. That was where the girl across the street lived. I didn't really know her, but I did know that she was a nerd. At least that's what everybody said. I sat up in bed and stared into the darkness.
I sat there for awhile until I saw this faint mist float in. I became thicker until it swirled around and turned into a shadowy man, who looked similair to my father.
"HI Dad," I said assuming it was my Dad. I heard footsteps and my real dad opened the door. My face bent into a puzzled expression. My dad gaped in horror as the shadowy figure smiled revealing tons of sharp teeth. I shuddered and tried to hide under my blanket, but with a swift flick of his wrist the shadowy figure used some magic to fling my blanket across the room.
Chills ran up my back and I shivered.
"Who are you?" I said in a shaky voice. The shadowy figure turned to my dad and frowned slightly.
"You haven't told the boy about me? What a shame considering he's just like I was at that age. Scared, but powerful." he smirked.
"He's not like you at all," my dad replied fiercly, anger and pain in his eyes.
"He's got the power, and with power comes evil." the shadowy figure turned to me and a fire ball appeared in his hand. "Let's see just how poweful you are young one." and with that he flung the ball of fire at me.
My skin siered with pain and I heard bubbling and cracking sound. I was on fire. I screamed a peircing scream that rang through the room and echoed. I squeezed my eyes shut and imagined everything frozen. Like an icy abyss. I breathed heavily and opened my eyes waiting to finish burning to death.
I opened them to find everything frozen, including myself. My dad and the shadowy figure we frozen with their mouth gaping open. The man the started glowing and everything slowly melted.
"I'm your uncle." the shadowy figure said.
"Oh?" I replied confused with his sudently.
"Come with me, and your powerfuls will become stronger and you will roam free!" my uncle cheered, extending his hand to me. Now my mouth gaped in surprised.
"Don't do it!" my dad cut in his eyes wide. "He's evil, his words are lies!"
I rolled their words through my mind and thought about the powers I just experienced. My brain hurt from all the thinking, but I knew the answer was clear. I would stay with my family. Well, my imediate family.
I walked to my dad and I turned to face my uncle.
"No," I said sternly. My uncle's eye turned furious and he shouted one last word before leaving.
"FINE, BUT MY MARK MY WORDS FROM THIS MINUTE FORWARD I WILL BE PLOTTING TO RUIN AND END YOUR LIFE IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE. FOR I CAN BE THE ONLY POWERFUL ONE." and with that he was gone.
-End of Flashback-
After that my dad had explained how my uncle was an evil sorcerer and that I was the only other person in the family that had powers that posed a threat to him.
Even now I fear him. I knew he would come back.
As I kept thinking it was almost too clear. Kelsey was my uncle in disguise.
As I realized this a familiar mist filled the room.
"No," I whispered as it slowly crept in taking the shape as my uncle. My parents aren't home, and I was here with him.
The mist took shape of my uncle, but it never actually became him. It was just a hologram. I breathed a slight sigh of relief, but it was quickly replaced with a look of horror as the my uncle's hologram started talking.
"Hello nephew. As you know my life goal was to get rid of you, but in the worst way possible. I have Elizabeth. Be here or she will die." he laughed evill as the mist took form of Elizabeth unconious hanging off a cliff with lava sweltering under her.
"No!" I screamed but the mist retracted and I was left alone.
I had to find her.
Elizabeth POV
"Precious its time to wake up," I hear a sinister voice say. I opened my eyes and I man made of mist was infront of me. We sort of. I was hanging off by a rope of a cliff, with lava bubbling a few stories beneth me.
"Where the heck am I?" I said my cheeks flushing.
A smile crept across his face as he replied, "My hidden lab of course. I am too good for THE tree, and not welcome anywhere else. In result I built my own lab where nobody will find me!" He laughed wickedly.
With that he grabbed the rope I was hanging by and swung it. I screamed as loud as I could before my flailing body hit the cave like walls of his labratory. My head starting spinning and once again the black dots tackled my vision.
Then again I succumbed to blackness.
Zale POV
I jumped from bed and ran down the hall, flinging my front door open. I started to race out when someone yanked my arm back. I turned anxious to leave, to come face to face with who I needed least to see....my dad.
