"Yes," Harry's brother says from somewhere, "I'm related to that weakling."
Harry has a brother. A fraternal twin brother! My mind seems to not be working in light of this revelation. "But-but he said he only has a sister, Gemma."
He appears in front of me. In the bright light, I can see his green eyes, just like Harry's. They have the same nose, but different types of hair and build. His eyes are much colder, too. They unnerve me.
"That's what he thinks," he tells me. "Our mother didn't know it at the time, but she was pregnant with twins. Harry and Edward. We were both born weak, so they altered our DNA. But guess who was taken away."
"You," I whisper. "But why?"
His face hardens. "How should I know? Maybe the organization needed help killing people like me. We are getting stronger, you know. Much stronger."
So many questions run through my head. When did the organization realize these babies had powers? How many people have they killed? What did they do to Harry's brother?
"You never gave me an answer. Are you joining us?" Edward demands, breaking my train of thought.
I shake my head. "Hell no! I am not going to go around killing people for being something they had no say in. They deserve to live out their lives."
He gives me a tight smile. "Is that your final answer?"
I swallow hard, but lift my chin in defiance. "Yes."
He looks up and lets out a dramatic sigh. "I really didn't want to have to kill you." He smirks. "I'll at least try to make it entertaining for me."
My eyes widen. There is nothing around me that I can throw at him so I start sprinting away, glancing over my shoulder to make sure he isn't following me.
When I face forward, I screech to a halt and suck in a breath. He's standing right in front of me.
"Baby," he chuckles, "don't try and beat me at my own game."
The next thing I know, something slimy wraps around my neck and I am being choked to death.
Harry's POV
As Jacob and I head into the living room, I hear Y/N's mom call her name to help with dinner."I'll go get her," I tell her.
"Oh, thank you Harry," she says without turning away from the stove.
I jog up the steps and into her room. "Y/N your mom is..." I trail off when I see she isn't here. That's strange. I call her cell and hear it ring. It's on her desk.
"What the fuck!" Jacob exclaims from his bedroom.
I walk into his room and my heart drops to my stomach. There are pictures all over the room of all of us.
"Who the fuck did this?" he demands.
I shake my head and step forward. I hear something crinkle under my foot. It's a note. I pick it up. It's actually two. I read through them and plop on the bed, groaning. My head falls into my hands.
"What is it?" Jacob asks.
I pass them to him. "Y/N must have gone. We need to go find her."
"But-"
I interrupt him. "I'll explain on the way. Just know that she is in danger. There are people trying to kill us." I rush out of the room with him right at my heels. "Come on. We need to leave now!"
Your POV
I desperately claw at my neck, trying to gasp for breath. I hear a pounding in my head and black spots dance across my vision as the lack of oxygen starts to fully hit me. I fall to my knees and see him looking at me, pleased. All of a sudden, the thing that was around my neck disappears and I can breath again. I gasp in as much air as I can, practically choking on it.Edward laughs lowly. "It's amazing how much the mind can convince us that we see or feel something."
I look at him, confused and still gasping for breath.
He gestures to my hands and I gaze at them not fully comprehending.
There is blood under my nails. My mouth slightly opens. It doesn't hit me until I feel a stinging, burning sensation on my neck. I bring my hands up and press them against my neck. I gasp when I feel pain and jerk my hands away. My palms are stained with more blood. I stand up and shove him. "What did you do to me?"
Edward puts his hand up. "I didn't do anything. It was all you, baby."
I think about what he previously said. "You mean, there wasn't anything choking me?" I was clawing at my own skin.
"Ding ding ding. You are correct."
"Please, just stop."
"That's not how it works." He smirks and his head pops up like he bought of something. "Care to go for a little swim?"
Harry's POV
I try to explain to Jacob about the powers people like Y/N and I have and how we received them as we drive to the park."Wait," he interrupts, "you're telling me that you can read minds and she has telekinesis. And this is all because you guys went through a procedure that accidentally altered your DNA, so now people want to kill you guys because of a choice you never made?"
I nod my head. "Yeah, that's basically about it."
"How am I supposed to believe this nonsense?"
How is this for evidence? I say into his mind.
Jacob's eyes widen as his head whips to me. "What the fuck?"
"Yeah," I tell him. "This isn't the rantings of a crazy person."
"Wow." He pinches the bridge of his nose and shakes his head.
I look over to him. "I know this is a lot to take in, but you will process it eventually and it won't seem like we're in some movie." I pull up into the parking lot and put the car in park.
"How are we going to find her in this huge park. It could take hours," Jacob groans.
"I can use my mind reading to get a location. It might take a couple of minutes since I haven't really done this without knowing the general area."
Jacob groans again. "She could be hurt and I can't do anything about it."
The thought of her in pain makes it hard for me to swallow. My heart just about plummets down to my stomach. "We can't think about that right now. Let's get started."
