"How could you hurt me
If you were only in
my dreams?"

Y/N POV

The day they had planned to get me it was like 7 or eight days till the apocalypse but now we only had three days left. Three days left for me to be under constant pressure I may add. Although they believed in me, I couldn't quite bring myself to. I sat at my window after having lunch with Five. It was calm outside and the sun was starting to go down.

"Hey you alright?"

"No." I looked out into the distance.

"What's up?"

"Ben, I just am under a lot of pressure I guess. What if I mess everything up. The world is practically depending on me"

"Hey you'll be ok. I know how that feels. All the time when we're were younger I had to use my powers to fight even when I didn't want to. Even when I was in pain."

"That must have been hard."

"Yeah. Look where it got me."

"..." I looked down at my feet frankly I didn't want to end up like Ben. Sure he was alive as a spirit but he was almost forgotten by everyone except Klaus.

"Hey, I must say though I believe in you. I really truly do. You have something special in you. I can sense it." He took a seat at the window with me.

"Really?"

"Yeah it's a spirit thing."

I started to slightly laugh and he laughed with me. Ben was taken for granted and frankly I'd make sure it didn't happen again. Klaus would too. Ben was more real then anyone around me so far. Five was a close second of course but Ben had something he didn't. The experience of death.

"Do you wanna come to the library with me to try and research my powers?"

"Eh why not. Klaus is probably getting high anyways."

"Life Forces, Plants Are Living Too, The Anatomy of the Living, The Life Force Explained?"

"Try, The Life Force Explained."

"Ok," I pulled out the book from the shelf and placed it on Sir, Hargreeves desk. I sat in the chair before looking down the index.

•Life It's Self, page 189

•Living Creatures, page 113

•Living Forces, page 156

"Let try Living Forces" I flipped to the page and began to skim through. "Hey look at this." I pointed to a paragraph in the middle of the page. "Every thing in the world holds a piece of life. Humans are the main thing, plants, planets, spirits, and objects. As well as we know some of those things don't breath, however without a touch of life none would exist. If the force of that life is expanded the being could become a living organism similar to human. If one is dying or dead it can be brought back to life. If one is stored it can be protected or used to live longer as long as the host is not harmed or killed. If the host extracted life from one person they could potentially have more life to live. To which they could share to the dead to... OH MY GOD" I slammed down the book and ran down the stairs to Klaus's room.
