As Five and I walk down the stairs, he put his hand in my back jean pocket.

I clear my throat. "Ehem. Five?" 

"What?" He asked smugly. 

I roll my eyes and continue walking. I assumed he would remove his hand: but he didn't. I hear a sizzling noise and he quickly removes his hand along with a scream.

"Should have listened." I sing.


-------------------


Luther had led us to a weird strange underground place. It was a dark hallway, leading to a small room. 

"What the...." I mutter.

As we got closer, I see Vanya, screaming, and banging on the door, begging us to let her out. My eyes widen and I run to the door. "Oh my god!" I reach for the handle to let her out, but Luther grabs my arm. 

"She stays there." He orders. 

I use my free hand, and grab his arm. Making his jacket catch on fire. "Don't touch me." I say through gritted teeth. I use all my might to open the door. But my stupid 15 year old body is too weak. "Sh!t." I breathe. 

Vanya is unaudible, but it looks like she's screaming:

"I'm sorry!" 

"Let me out!"

"It was an accident!" 

"Corn dog!" Oh wait, that's not right...

"You locked up our sister because you think she has powers.." Diego said, in disbelief.

"No, I know she does. Pogo told me. He's always known, and so has dad." 

"Why would they hide this from us?" Diego questions. "I mean, am I the only one that didn't know this place existed?"

"He hid so much from us..." Klaus mutters.

"He hid it," Luther steps forward. "Because he was afraid... Of her."

"No! He wouldn't d-do this thing!" I shout. 

"Sorry to break it to you Sky, but our dad was an a$$hole." Diego tells me, patting my back.

"Dad's lied about everything else, so why is this so far-fetched?"

I walk up to the glass Vanya leant against, and I lay my hand up the door. She shakily puts her hand on top of mine, her eyes begging for me to do something.

"If your right, then maybe she's the one who killed Vanya." Diego agrees.

"And cut Allison's throat," Luther adds.

Klaus raises his hands in the air. "Woah Woah Woah Woah! No. Lets... I ju- Sorry, let's just go back, alright?" He studders and points to Vanya. "This is Vanya we are talking about. Our sister! The one wh- who always cried as we stepped on ants as kids!"

"Yeah, I know. it's difficult to accept-"

"It's not difficult to accept its impossible to accept!" Klaus snaps.

"I'm with Klaus," I announce, stepping to his side. 

"Look, their right. We can't keep her locked up without proof." Said Diego.

"W-What more proof do you need?" 

"Why don't we just open the door.. And ask her!" Klaus shouted, as he pushed passed me to let her out, only to be stopped by Luther grabbing him by the shoulder and yanking him back.

"No, she's not going anywhere."

We all look at Sobbing Vanya. "Even if your right, she needs out help. We can't do that if she's locked in a cage!"

"Yeah, and for all we know, she might be struggling, with this new power. It must be scary... terrifying really! To discover you can do something, that you never thought you could."

"He's right." I chime in stepping forward, crossing my arms. "When I found out I had powers... I lost it."

"Look," Luther said. "If what Pogo told me is even half true. She is not just a danger to us-" Luther was interrupted by soft footsteps coming from the hallway. 

"Allison." I sigh in relief. She had changed into a new shirt, and was holding a notepad. The worst part, was she had a long white bandage along her throat.

"Allison, what are you doing in here? You should be in bed." Luther softly asks her. 

I nod in agreeance and begin to walk towards her to help, but she points up her finger and begins to write in the notebook.

LET HER GO the paper read.

Luther sighs. "I can't do that, she hurt you."

Allison's eyes become glossy as she flips to another page.

MY FAULT

"I'm sorry but she's staying put."

The sadness on Allison's face is replaced by anger as she walks towards the 'cage', but Luther stops her. "Just until we know what we are dealing with." Allison tries to push past Luther, but yet again, he stops her. She hits his chest in anger, and then again.

The rest of us walk away.

I run into my room and slam the door. I quickly let the fake smile fade, the one that I have been holding for so long. I loud out a soundless sob, which led to my body shaking. It wait a moment, as the tears fall down my chin. I quickly stand up and walk over to the dresser, the photos that held happy moments of me and my father. I grab one angrily and just stare at it.  I feel my veins get hot. My chest rose up and down in fuiry. How could he do this? Why did he lie to me? How did he treat the academy? So many questions ran through my mind. Next thing I know, the picture is up in flames. I watch as his face slowly melts in the picture. 

A huge surge of energy runs through the room, sending me down to the floor. I put my hand on my head, groaning. The house begins to shake and I look up in fear.


Seems like I'm not the only one who snapped.
