Radioactives

Chapter 31: The Truth

Song of the day: Lovesick Fool by The Cab.

Luna's POV:

Jack and I were walking down the corridor to go to the training room. I was really scared at what they were going to tell me. Jacks mood had changed, at first he was worried, then he looked mad, then he looked doubtful.

We went around a corner when Jack stopped walking and turned around. I wasn't paying attention so I walked right into him. He held onto my shoulders. "Luna, just so you know, I love you and I will always love you. And I'm sorry." And with that he turned back around and kept walking, I followed behind him.

Okay, now I'm terrified.

The whole gang piled into the training room all at once and they were all starring right at me when they did. Jack was pacing back and forth nervously and Sam, Carter, Matt, Cameron, and Nash all whispered to each other.

Once all the guys were in the small room Sam began talking.

"Okay, so Luna. We have something to tell you." He looked at me with sorry eyes. I stood in the center and all the guys surrounded me.

"This is going to be a lot to take in at once so I need you to listen carefully, Luna." I looked at Jack who was biting his nails nervously, he wouldn't even look up at me.

"We have a secret that's been a secret we've held for a very long time. A very scary secret, one that you aren't going to like." Sam looked me right in the eyes as he spoke.

"Luna, you are probably wondering how we know this but that's not the point. We know something about you that you don't even know." He paused. I narrowed my eyes at him questioningly. "You aren't like most Radioactives. Your not like any radioactive at all actually."

"Yeah, tell me something I don't already know Sam. Get to the point." I said impatiently.

"Luna, please let me finish." He sighed. "Yes you have eigh-, nine powers." He corrected himself. "And those are all stolen powers." I glared at him. "Stolen?"

"Yes, stolen. You aren't like most Radioactives because you were born to be the keeper. The keeper of lost and stolen powers." He looked back up at me. Jack was still sitting there not daring to even look at me, still biting on his nails nervously.

"You were born to develop powers that were stolen from other Radioactives, and powers that were lost. Which is why you have eight powers. But Luna, there are so many more powers coming for you. That's why you developed that ninth power when you were here."

My breath hitched in my throat. My heart skipped a beat, and then stopped beating all at once.

"But the thing is, Luna, you can't just develops those powers out of no where. You have to be near someone who had them stolen or lost." He looked at me again. I looked around at all the guys in the room. I could just feel the tension.

"And you gained your ninth power here, correct?" He asked me. "Yes." I told him.

"Well you see Luna. We," he gestured around the room to all the guys. Molly and Laura were here too, which I hadn't noticed before. "We all used to be Radioactives."

What?

Oh my gosh.

It felt like my world had just come crashing down. Oh my god.

"We all had our powers either stolen or lost." At that moment I turned my head around and every single one of the gang members including Jack, and his sisters, rolled down their sleeves on there right arm. I looked at there wrist to see the faded Russian tattoo written on their arm. I cupped my hand over my mouth in shock. What is happening?
