Shifting

Red

Let me explain Jake. He was a shifter like us who was kept captive in the same lab by Seth. Apollo actually remembered him as soon as he said he normally goes by Jake. Sandra didn't know Jake was like us. He didn't tell anyone. Not even me when I showed myself. Except for the guy we met on the road. He had some grudge against him, and Jake felt so bad because he had to leave Apollo, the twins and Matt still stuck in there. We explained to them what happened and because he knew Apollo and the twin's real names, Willow and I told them ours.

It was October 8th, I remember because it was the day before my first day at public school, the first day of school at all for the others. Willow will have to go to school on crutches but she doesn't have to be wheeled around now that her stitches have healed enough. We were sitting at the counter eating when Jake turned on the TV,

"Breaking news. This man with many Identities has been spotted in the DC area. If You see this man do not approach for he is considered armed and highly dangerous. If you have any information call the number on the screen." It was Seth. The man was Seth. Even in his mug shot from 15 years ago, we all knew it was him.

"Jake where's your computer?" I ask him.

"Already on it." he was in some very secretive database, and was Typing in 'Amber Taylor.'

"No it's Rachel, Rachel Taylor or Matt..." I don't know his last name.

"Jones," Apollo told us. Somehow we found her number, and I used Jakes phone to call her.

"Come on Amber, come on." I pleaded as the phone dialled and rang.

"Hello. This is Amber." her voice was warm and happy she was with her parents. And now I had to pull her away from them.

"I am sorry Amber. It's Red." I looked at Willow who was still dead to Matt, and her. "Seth's alive. We need you to get back here now."

"Oh, my god. We'll be there as soon as possible." She told me and hung up. God. Why won't this man die? (ODP:12/15/17)
