I woke up from the sun shining into my eyes. I blinked a few times and looked around. First thing I saw was my brother. I swallowed hard and sat up. I then noticed I had changed back to my human self. I walked to my room to put on clothes, made a phone call, I put on a gray beany and then went back to my brother. I cleaned him up, then carried him bridal style outside to my car. Driving to the cemetery. I parked on the side of the road, grabbed my brother and carried him up. Once we got to where we needed to go, I jumped down into the already dug hole. I carefully laid him down.

"I'm sorry," my voice cracked. I jumped up and pulled myself out of the hole. I've already done this one other time, I hate doing it again. I sighed. I started to push in the dirt. Once I finish, I stand there, looking at the three graves. My Mom's on the left and Dad's on the right. Then, my brother in the middle right. "I'm sorry I couldn't help him. Couldn't get to him soon enough," a tear rolled down, but I wiped it away quickly. "God damn it!" I yell into the sky, "Why him?"

"Jon?" My head jerked to the side.

"Craig, w-what are you doing h-here?" I stuttered. Craig noticed and ran over to me.

"I was walking around town and heard yelling. But I could ask the same." My eyes started to burn from the tears trying to escape. I looked down then back up. Craig looked down, then back to me. "Oh Jon," he pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged back, and that's when I started to ball like a baby.

After what seemed like forever, I finally controlled myself  and we both sat in front of the three. "I'm sorry. For being a big baby," I sniff, leaning against him.

"Oh god Jonny, you're not a baby," he looked down at me, "anyone that's gone through what you have, would be doing the same as you." I crack a grin and look up at him. I leaned up and gave him a peck on the lips. What in the world? Craig thought.

"What?" I asked nervously.

"Your eyes," oh god. What's wrong with them? I panicked. "Nothing's wrong, it's just really cool."

"How could dark brown eyes be that cool?" I was so confused at this point. We've been together for a few years, they're the same eyes sence I was born.

"They're gold. Not like a bright yellow but, gold."

"What? Really? How?"

"I don't know. You're gonna hate me, but what happened last night? It could be something that happened." He was right, I hated him asking, but he also could be right.

"Well, other than my brother, I guess the only thing that happened was that I morphed for the first time." It was a little embarrassing to say than sence everyone else learns at a very young age. A time, I never cared to do so.

"That could be it. You might've unlocked something none or extremely little of us can do. I do know, or what I've heard, there was a kid our age that had two different morphs." Craig started to stand up, I followed, and we started walking back to my car. "It could be rumors though."

"Probably," then I remembered I had to talk to Craig about some super important. "Hey Craig, I need to tell you something."

"Don't tell me, you've got AIDS," he joked.

"Shut up," I laughed, "but no. So ummm, I dont really know how to put it, so I'll just say it." I took a deep breath, "I'm moving," I spit out.

"Wait, what?" He asked, stopping me at the car.
