Soal's POV
Their bewildered but yet unreadable faces don't stop me from feeling the shame of lying to them for one second. "I believe you guys... Alex already told us." Says a dreamy and thoughtful voice. I see it's Rose and Eliana. "But how?" Stammers Al. "We don't know ourselves but we are pretty sure it was a created potion using DNA of the gods and a witch that fed the potion to two muggles and well." I stammer my answer to him. He just nods. "Are ya guys mad?" Asks Hunter. Please don't be is all I think. "No. We believe you." They respond. I let out a sigh of relief. "Soo... How um..." I mumble not sure of what to say. "Well now that your patched up I believe that we should go get some lunch because I AM STARVING!" Says Scourpius with a grumble of his stomach. "Wonderful idea." I say with a smile. We head to the great hall. "It really sucks that we're all in different houses." Comments Frank while we walk. "True." Mumbles Al. Then I hear a dull buzz in my pocket. "Err... Hunter may I speak to you alone for a second?" "Why I'm hung-" my glare stops his speech and the others mumble their see ya's. I tap the send button on my phone that I have no idea why I have with me right now. We hear screaming on the other end and begging "-please no!" The sound coming from a voice identical to my cousin Cheyenne. "AVADA KEVENDRA!!" and the phone silences then a hiss comes through that chills me to the bone. "Soul and assumably Hunter, your family is dead. Every cousin, uncle, aunt, and grandparent have fallen. Except one family to cowardly to even be worth to sought out. Sam is the fathers name. Everyone is gone." I hear a cackle and a beep that signals that his talk with us is over. "No!" Says Hunter loudly. He then proceeds his remark with a boot of a pebble sitting by his feet. "First Mom and Dad then our whole family! Honestly I wish we weren't even born!" He shouts then puts his head in his hands. "Me too." I sigh. "I wish we weren't even born!" He whisper shouts. "We couldn't ignore the fact something was wrong." Explains Alex as he and Luce walk up to us. "What happened?" Asks Luce with concern not only in his voice but also in his eyes. "Voldemort Nagini!' Says Hunter with gritted teeth. "What did that asshole do?" Asks Alex. "He killed our whole family." I say quietly noticing the tone of my voice changing with each word. They nod solemnly. "I hate him!" Says Luce quietly. He then proceed his words by looking me in the eyes and saying "Because what he did to you, guys." "He isn't as stupid as his father you know. That's how Harry was kept safe by the blood of his mothers family aka aunt Petunia and he didn't want to take the chance." I mumble quietly. I just get a nod in my direction from a squatting Hunter. Tears that haven't been released since I was three moist my eyes. I suck in a deep breath and say sadly "F is for fire that burns down the whole town, U is for uranium *pause* bombs, N is for no survivors when you-!" Waiting for Hunter to finish our anthem. "Plankton! F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me-" he mumbles. "N is for anywhere at all here in the deep blue sea." Ends Luce and Alex. Sadness is soon replaced with anger. Hunter kicks the wall and then buries his finger nails into his hand and when he starts bleeding heals instantly. I smack him instantly. "No!" I mumble at his unlikely behavior. "What is the point?" He mumbles back with a sorrowful, exhausted voice. I stand up as soon as the words escape his mouth. "No! Just no... We have never gave in up to this point, have we? No we didn't and we are not going to start. We literally have no reason to go on except to save the world in which we will die in the end, but we are going on! They wouldn't want us giving in would they? We go on to repay their horrible and no reason deaths. We are not giving in now or ever you here me!" I close to yell at him.
Hunter's POV
Empty. That's all I feel. Soal's words barely break through the barrier in my mind but do wonders to clear it. I swallow my pain in a gulp and stand up feeling unacceptably weak and tired. "You're right." I nod at her words. "Their deaths won't be for nothing." I whisper chant to her. "I'm not hungry anymore." I say glumly with a sigh. "Same." Nods everyone in agreement. "You know what this means don't you? Exploring!" Says Soal trying to break the sadness engulfing us. Not working. We go around finding random rooms but then we find it, the room of requirement. Inside the room looks like just a living room. A place to relax but in the center lies a mirror reading "Isho wno tyo urfa cebu tyo urh eart sde sir e." I'm the first to look into it. I see my parents and family waving at me looking safe. Mesmerized just stare at my deepest desire with a dark despair. I walk away and let Alex look.
Alex's POV
Bastard! I'm still pissed at that Voldie guy for being the worlds biggest dick. We walk into a mysterious room and with a fricken huge mirror I look into after Hunt's done. I see my... Dad and mom with no brother in sight. They aren't yelling at each other or me. They look proud and happy. That's a first. My dad moved to Mexico when I was five and my brother eight because of my powers, he called me a demon child and left. My mom after that had to work day and night to pay for bills, my brothers drug abuse and for her own. I look marveled and ask with wonder "Does this mirror make what you see happen or something?" "I'm sorry Alex but it shows a lot worse. It shows your deepest desire. The happiest man in the world would see himself as he is." Hunter mumbles blankly. My face falls and I see Luce walk into the frame as I leave it.
Luce's POV
My mouth drops as I enter the mirror. There's Soal, happy and safe with Alex and Hunter. I twitch and set my hand on the glass as the mirror Soal tries to grab it, to bring me with her and them. My eyes shine with a dark desire and wonder but hear Hunter's words of wonder and broken hope. This will never happen, I swallow hard and accept what it is. Truth. Life isn't that fair and I know the prophecy. I can wish can't I? But to no avail.
Soal's POV
Luce gives me one last look that shows a deep desire and walk into the mirror as he leaves. I see my family and friends happy, safe and most important alive. Hunter and a blonde older boy smile at me as they sit with my parents. Kale. He is our older brother that died when we were three. He was five. Luce and Alex smile but something's different about them, Hunter too. They are normal. No death and save the world decisions to make just normal kids. I know my desire well. I wish I wasn't born. Being the first born out of me and Hunter makes me feel stupid guilt. Guilt for everything that's happened. I can't take it. I look away. I can't take it. "Let's go." I mumble quietly and we all leave without another glance.
