Jade's P.O.V

_______________________________________________________________________

"Lissa! Lissa! Guess what! We have a brother!" I yelled. I was so happy, an older brother someone to take care of us instead of Raksha and give her a break.

"Yeah right. And I am an alien from another galaxy." Lissa said sarcastically. Then she looked at our brother and stopped. Our brother Ash looked like the male version of Raksha.

"He looks alot like Raksha." Mathew said stunned.

"Way to state the obvious." I snapped. I never liked them, even when they were Raksha's friends.

"Ash, this is Lissa your sister. And the two boys are the clones also known as Mathew and Jordan. And yeah." I said trailing off. Ash smirked and looked like he was holding back laughter ( He was not doing a good job ). Then I read Jordan's mind and collapsed laughing hysterically ( Jordan thought that Ash was Raksha and they did something to her to change her gender ). Then Ash and Lissa started laughing and I knew we were going to get along well.

"Hey! Don't do that!" Mathew and Jordan exclaimed at the same time. Mathew lunged at me but Ash suddenly moved between him and me. Then he punched Mathew in the face.

"Yeah I'm Ash. I'm eighteen, I can manipulate air, and mental stuff that I don't want to elaborate on and I know where Raksha is." Ash said trying not to start laughing again.

"WHERE IS SHE!!" Lissa exploded.

"Easy...New York." Ash said. Lissa was shocked. So far away and to be able to hear Raksha so clearly was amazing. That meant we were a lot more powerful than we thought. And at that moment Delos appeared out of-literally-nowhere.

"Lissa I can't find-Oh there she is." Delos said obviously relieved.

"You deserved it old man." Ash said emotionlessly-like Raksha would-and then I started to cry. Lissa hugged me and murmured comforting things to me.

"She adored Raksha and Raksha adored her in return. She's like the mother Jade never had. So this is especially hard on her, and in your own weird way you're alot like Raksha" Lissa explained to them.

"So...Shouldn't we just go get Raksha back right now?" Mathew asked.

"Yeah I guess...Dimitri will be happy to help. He's my best friend and shockingly Delos's son." Ash said holding back anger. Probably directed at the people who took Raksha away from us. "So let's go now." Ash said impatiently.

"Not now. We need a plan." Lissa said regretfully.

"Okay, call me when you figure one out." Ash said as he sat down on the sofa to watch TV.

"Lazy." Lissa muttered under her breathe. Raksha would have loved to plan this. I sighed. Time to listen to Jordan's stupid and weird plans.

Raksha's P.O.V

____________________________________________________________________

I was on my way down for dinner when Kestrel ran up and dragged me into the supply closet. "Kestrel-" I started

"Shh!" She said. Talk telepathically. She told me silently.

What's going on? Please explain in full detail. I asked.

It's Blue lightning the psychic assassin team THEY created. They do crimes - murder, theft, Assassinations and what ever Killian or Hunter want them to do. Then they go to the weirdest clubs to party as a celebration. We can't get caught up with them. They almost always leave traces but not enough for police to link with us. If we get stuck with them and they get caught... Kestrel trailed off. We would all die or worse and I would never see Lissa or Jade again. What if they tortured me for information on them. My eyes widened in fear. No, no, not them. Then I saw them dead and that terrified me. Not the fact I could imagine them dead but how easy it was to do so.

Calm down. That's why you're in here. If anything goes wrong we'll live happily ever after. Kestrel joked.

Don't use those lines from fairy tales. Princess Jasmine loved a thief. Robin Hood was a fugitive. If Snow White looked like mashed rotting meat the evil queen would not have tried to kill her. The prince in Sleeping Beauty loved her because she was pretty and not for who she was. Goldilocks broke into a house. And adults complain our generation is messed up. I complained. Kestrel snickered.

Please explain how assassins are related to Disney princesses. Kestrel asked

I do not know...Hey I think they're gone. Want to raid the kitchen for food? I asked

Sure why not. Kestrel answered.

Raksha! Raksha! Guess what we have a brother! Jade's voice yelled so loudly that it hurt my head. Then I realised what she said. I closed my eyes and looked through her's. Good grief. Her-my brother I realised looked just like me. OMG I have a brother I felt like crying and laughing.

"Raksha? You okay?" Kestrel asked.

"I have a brother." I muttered not paying attention. "OMG I HAVE A BROTHER!" I yelled.

"Shh. The police will come if there is another noise complaint. C'mon and help me get food that cover the main food groups. Sugar, grease and salt." Kestrel teased laughing. "Your life is so complicated I wouldn't be surprised if-" She started

"Let me guess what you were going to say. You were going to say if I fall for your brother." I said.

"No! I was going to say if we find out that Killian is your uncle." Kestrel said and playfully slapped me for the comment about my brother.

"That's just scary." I said looking 'terrified'.

"Look Raksha I have never really had a sister before and I see you as one...So if I don't make it or something-" I cut her off.

"Don't even think about it, we will get out alive and live somewhat happily ever after." I said way more confidently than I felt.

"You just-" I cut her off again.

"Shut up okay." I snapped. Kestrel started laughing totally dropping the subject. I was relieved. I never liked saying good bye or talking about death and stuff like that. It was sad for me to admit but I had a very good imagination. So talking about it made me imagine dead bodies. 

"We have enough to break out of here with." Kestrel announced proudly.

"Now to plan. The deadline is next week." I told her. She nodded her head and suddenly looked serious.
