Chapter 10: The White Violin

Zariah watched as dust started to fall from the ceiling. The whole house started shaking and she tried to stand, but almost immediately fell to the ground. Not a minute later Vanya started walking past, followed by a lot of explosions. They looked at each other. Locking eyes, her eyes a bright white, while Zariah's eyes were her usual hazel brown color.
"Vanya, please! Help me!" Zariah screamed for help as she slammed against the glass. But Vanya turned away. She didn't blow the cell that held her sister, but wouldn't help her. Zariah felt betrayed. "No, no, no-" Another explosion sounded, this one being hard enough to crack the glass. Fear overtook Zariah, stone came through the glass, smashing it completely. It formed a ball around her, protecting her from everything that happened.

"Shit. Mom. Mom!" Diego yelled as he saw his mother.
"Mom! Get out of there now!" Klaus and Diego yelled at their mother.
"I'm coming after you!"
"No, Diego! No!" Klaus held his brother back. That was when the house broke down with a crash.

"Mom!" Diego searched the rubble for their mother. "Klaus, come here. Help me search." Klaus shared a look with his dead brother.
"Diego. Just stop it. Stop."
"Let me go. What are you doing?"
"Stop. Stop. She's gone." Klaus pulled Diego back.
"What do you wanna do? You wanna- wanna w- w- walk away from this?"
"No."
"What about Pogo?"
"He didn't make it." Luther came from behind a mountain of crushed stone.
"What?"
"Vanya killed him." Klaus and Ben shared another look.
"But Vanya wouldn't-" Diego couldn't believe it.
"No, I saw it. Just before we got out."
"Wait, we? Where is Zariah?" Klaus spoke up, not seeing his sister.
"I thought you would get her." Diego chimed in, pointing at Luther.
"I didn't- she was too dangerous. I couldn't take her with me, while also having to take care of Allison."
"She's your sister, damn it!" Diego yelled. "Mom, now Pogo and Zariah." He sat down.
"Guys!" Five came running over the rubble. "This is it. The apocalypse is still on. The world ends today."
"I thought you said it was over." Luther responded.
"I was wrong, okay?"
This newspaper, I found it in the future the day I got stuck. The headline hasn't changed."
"No, that doesn't mean anything." Diego denied. "Time could've been altered since that newspaper came out this morning."
"You're not listening to me. When I found it, I assumed this place came down along with everything else. But here we are. The moon's still shining, the earth is in one piece, but not the academy." Klaus ripped the paper out of the boy's hands.
"I'm confused."
"Then listen to me, you idiot! Vanya destroys the academy before the apocalypse. I thought Harold Jenkins and Kevin Hunter were the cause, but they were just the fuse. Vanya is the bomb and Zariah was probably just an extra. Vanya causes the apocalypse. Speaking of, where is Zariah?"
"She-" Klaus began, but Luther cut him of.
"We don't have to worry about her anymore."
"You mean she's under there? Shit." Five was about to burst out in anger, but helicopter blades whirred above them.
"We gotta go, now!"
"Regroup at the Super Star. Go!" Luther ordered. They all split up, running away from all the attention.

Little did the siblings know that their sister was listening in to them. Under the rubble, in her ball of stone, she could hear everything they said.
"Extra?" Zariah mumbled to herself. "I'll show you extra." Loud thunder like noise came as her stone ball burst into bits. She rose on a plateau of stone, her eyes mud brown, no white or pupil. Her long brown hair waved in the wind, light illuminating her frame. It was like the earth and herself were one. Not just the earth. She could feel every solid planet as one of her. Rocks started flying up into the air, forming some sort of stairs for her to walk down from. She wanted to prove herself. Show her siblings that she wasn't just some extra. She was powerful, they should fear her. It was lucky for her she knew the exact place to go. Her siblings were going to stop Vanya, so they were probably going to the Icarus Theater. She looked down at her clothes. There was no way she was going there in her still wet, torn clothes. She walked around the city, people kept their distance. The ground cracked behind her with every step she took.
