Chapter 5: We need a plan.

ENJOY! :) Here's a dedi to a cool fan of mine!! :D

Chapter 5:

The morning went by quickly and soon it was mid afternoon and we were all sitting in the living room next to a crackling fire talking about our ideas and plans. Mainly it was Bo blabbing on about training and other stuff none of us really cared about.

I could tell still that Nick is keeping secrets, maybe just from me, but I wanted to find out what they were desperately. I decided to actually tune in on what they were all saying.

"So, we have to defeat her?" I said looking up to meet Bo's hard stare. "Yes, we have to try at least. But there's only one person who can defeat her." "Who?" I said anxiously not expecting the outcome.

"It's you Alex," Erin looked into my eyes worriedly. I looked around the circle to see everyone's eyes filled with sorrow which made me want to cry. I wanted desperately to understand everything to the fullest.

I sighed deeply,"I need to know something." "What?" Erik asked me. "I want to know what happened to my parents. I want to know who they were and why they died," I said seriously. I really was. And I wanted logical explanations.

"Well," Bo started,"Your parents were joiners and also Reds, your mum was from the light and your dad from the dark. They joined in Forbidden love eventually being killed by members of the darkness in a spree to protect you from..." he paused,"People like us. They wanted to let you have a cheerful and carefree life."

I felt tears sting my eyes but fought them back not wanting to be embarrassed. I was a strong person. That's how I was raised. I needed to be strong for this and I knew what I had to do. I stood up and threw on my cape and boots and set outside in the snow.

I looked up at the flakes falling down so gracefully and it reminded me of something that was forgotten and I was sucked into the flashback.

It seemed as though I was watching this as another person as many little children were playing in a field together. And then it hit me. It was us, Nick, Bo, Justin, Erik, Erin, Tebi, and Hope.

I remembered giving Tebi her nickname when we were little. Her true name was Tabitha but I had nicknamed her that because I had grown tired of using her full name.

I watched as I saw our old friend Sam, who I hadn't seen in a really long time. It made me sad how time goes by and leaves you with everyone gone and forgotten.

I heard yelling and saw a man and woman running and they scooped me up quickly and ran into the woods telling the other kids that they were safe but I wasn't. I wanted to follow the people I soon understood were my parents but I couldn't walk or run.

The kids jumped down into the tall grass and I looked behind me to see men who I assumed to be royalty and guards as how they were dressed made them look it. I watched the children peak their heads up and yank them down quick.

But the guards still found them and called them out of the field and through the woods. I was stuck immobile and my feet began to sink into the mud but I couldn't feel that happening. Now it was up to my knees and everything started to spin rapidly around me.

I screamed and waved my arms but they just went straight through the ground. Next, I was in a dark castle we were all sitting in a circle and we were older too. There were also some people I didn't know but I focused on what was happening.

I was levitating in the middle of the circle and I looked dead. Most of them were chanting something and Hope and Erin were crying their eyes out next to each other. I saw Nick with his eyes squeezed shut and a painful expression on his face.

I was quizzical about this scene but I truly knew what had happened. I didn't want to admit it. But the sight of myself floating in midair in my red cape with my eyes shut gave me shutters down my spine. I looked around the room and saw the Prince looking frustrated on a red satin couch and Tebi in a corner looking sad and teary.

I felt myself become instantly depressed and get sucked into the feelings the room contained. It seemed so dark and dreary and there was dead silence besides their chanting and I felt as though I wanted to sit down and cry.

I heard a loud scream and everyone jumped as myself who was levatating's head swung back and my hood fell off letting my blonde curls spill out. It was a loud and painful wail and I saw them all have pained looks and Nick especially.

When was this? We all seemed a bit... older.... I noticed my eyes, they glowed deep violet and magenta, they are just a blueish purple naturally but I never recalled them having that bright magenta in them.

The loud shriek finally ended and I saw my eyes squeeze shut and my head swing forward and back into place. It was an unbearable sight and the air smelled of blood and something like... lace? I was too into this scene to figure it out.

I wanted to run and cry but I couldn't. I couldn't move at all. Everything I loved just seemed to deteriorate in my hands. Nothing good was going to happen in the future and I had known it deep down inside.

I shut my eyes and held them tight and I cringed as I screamed bloody murder. I h=just couldn't take this anymore. I just couldn't. It seemed as though every time I turned around I lost someone I loved or there was something new unraveling.

Erin's P.O.V.

I watched as Nick and Bo raced out the door to Alex who had fallen onto the white snow screaming like Hell. I felt bad for her. I bet she's cracking now. Her heart must be just disintegrating from a ll that's happened. Sometimes, I wish I could help her.

I really do! But I know what has to be done. Even if it will hurt all of us in the process and create her the greatest pain. I don't know for sure what will happen I only know the plans that have been rumored for centuries.

But isn't that how it is? We never fully know our future and we never really know until it happens. I wish we didn't have to do this. I really did.

Alex's Point of View:

I opened my eyes to see a blurry picture of everyone. They all had pained expressions, not as bad as what I had saw before, but they looked worried.

I now had come to the realisation of what to come. I was never going to live a life that would fit my expectations. I was destined for many things I didn't know or understand. But I realised my attitude. And I was going to make sure that I have my say in all of this.
