        Uri had a slight vision and saw what would happen. So without telling Tucker, he ran in between his two siblings and was met with a blast of flames. "Uri!" Darci and Tucker screamed. His sacrifice shocked Darci and gave her control again. She dropped to her knees. "W-what have I done?" She whispered. Darci blamed herself and tears pooled from her eyes. But, as she cried she felt someone hug her. "I killed him. I killed our brother," she cried. Darci felt tears drop on her head. "We should've told you. I'm at fault here, not you," he said. "We both killed Uri," they said in unison. Tucker and Darci mourned for their brother. But, all of a sudden they heard footsteps heading their way. The distraught siblings saw a group of people.

The group of people wore long, black clocks. They walked towards the siblings. "Who are you?" Tucker demanded. "We are the Fears." The leader spoke with a smirk. "Why are you here?" Darci hoarsely asked. " Why, for you my dear. You see, we hunt people like you," someone in the crowd explained. "People like me?" Darci questioned the group. "Yes, people with extraordinary capabilities with little control over their powers. People that destroy and cause chaos. They destroy everything and everyone around them." Someone else from the group said. "What are you going to do to me?" Darci asked frightened. "We take in people like you," said the leader. "No! You are not taking my sister away from me." Tucker spoke for the first time, since the group's arrival. "You will have to go through me to get to Darci!" Tucker shouted at them. "If you wish," everyone in the group said. The group attacked Tucker with their fists. The Fears got a few punches in, and Tucker had a couple of bruises from them. "Darci, when I tell you to, you need to run. Okay?" Tucker said. "No! I'm not letting you die because of me, too!" Darci screamed out. But before the group could do anything else, Tucker began to secretly cast two spells. A spell to stop the group long enough for Darci to get away, and another to teleport her out of harm's way. When both spells were ready to be cast Tucker said," Darci, go and don't come back. Now run!" "Good-bye, Tucker," Darci said, as she started to run. 'Good-bye little sis," Tucker whispered. The spells took effect, and the Fears froze in time and Darci had been transported to an unknown forest. But, all magic has a price, and Tucker had paid with his life.
