Chapter 1

 Life was just something we all wondered why we had. I went on with it as light would shine through the clouds on a stormy day. I just wished that I wasn’t the person I am. You see I’m not the person who can be normal, in fact I’m far from that. I can control your worst nightmares and see what you fear most. I was just a project that was supposed to be the biggest breakthrough in science.

  The world thinks the project was lost in a fire, but I actually was the one that started it. I was smarter than you think, and can figure things out in a matter of seconds. I was going to be a weapon for the government but I serve no one. If they want a weapon go and find their own like Tony Stark in Iron Man and leave me out of this mess.

  I walked through an alleyway not even caring if anyone saw me. I was wearing a black hoodie that said ‘dark is my only light’ and a pair of jeans. I looked around and saw the army looking around as if they were trying to find something. This should be fun.

  I climbed up the side of the building like I was taught in school since I got bullied and waited for them. They got right under me as I sprung on them as the normal phobias showed up on my head. Spiders, clowns, and flying, what whimp is scared of those things and apart of the army. I made their fears come alive in their heads as I looked into their eyes.

  They screamed as I laughed my head off. I walked off as they ran into each other and passed out. I went to their jeep and took money from a compartment that I knew they would have. What I got to live off food and I also have to keep moving so I won’t get caught you know.

  I went to a nearby fast food stop and ordered something to eat. I sat there as this boy walked in looking like he was like me. Homeless, alone, and being hunted down. He ordered something and took a seat at the table next to me.

  He had brownish hair, blueish-greenish eyes, and about 5’5”. He looked at me and I saw his darkest fear and almost choked on my Dr.Pepper. He was afraid of being caught and being a weapon like me.

“Are you alright?”He asked,”Is there anything I could do to help?”

“Are you like me?”I questioned,”Can you do something no one else can? If so what is it? What part of the project did they put you in?”

“Yes I am,”He answered in a whisper,”I can control fire and I was in Makes on the project. What about you?”

“Danger is the part,”I answered keeping it a low whispered,”I do fear to its full danger. Did you get away when I started the fire that day?”

“I did,”He answered sitting at my table,”I walked right through the flames and made a run for it.”

“Names Randi,”I said sticking my hand out,”Randi Young. OR as they called me The Fear Watcher.”

“I’m Righley,”He said shaking my hand,“Righley Morris. OR as they called me The Fire Bomb.”

  I smiled that I wasn’t the only one. I might want to explain everything about the project. There are five parts in all and each have different parts. They are dangers, makes, hounds, mask, and kills and they all are dangerous. My part, or dangers were 4 kids with different powers that could take someone down.

  Makes we’re the ones who could make their power and was all natural like the elements. There were 5 of them in all and I guess it was a big deal. Hounds were the ones who could turn into or talk to animals. There were only 3 of them in it. Mask were the ones that could do mind tricks and make you believe they were someone else. There were 8 of them but they were alright I guess. Lastly are the kills and they do not play.

  Kills were the ones that got the worst of the powers. They could do things that were not the best and soon kill you. There was only 3 in that group for a good reason. Those 3 were triplets and did NOT play well with others.

  Our parts were each split up and put into different spots all around the world. I was put in Dallas, Texas with one from Makes, one from Hounds, and 2 from Mask. The others were harder to find but luckily everyone from that place got out and was safe.

  I was chosen by my father to be a part of this, and sadly when I was still apart of it someone murdered him. I was hurt and didn’t let anyone near me as my power went crazy. I couldn’t control it till I had calmed down enough to think. So I had to take some practice to stay calm since my power could kill someone if they are scared to death by it.

“So what are you doing now?”I asked eating some fries.

“Trying not to be caught,”He answered doing the same as me,“Wouldn’t it be easier if we just killed them off?”

“I don’t kill people,”I answered remembering my dad,“Someone involved with the project killed my father. My dad always told me that going out for revenge is never the best way. I lost him but I will never go against his word.”

“If they killed him you should,”He said watching me,“He was your father and they killed him off. You should do off with them, since they got rid of him. An eye for an eye.”

“Hey don’t go against my logic or I can turn you into them,”I snapped with venom pouring from my words,“I was raised to think highly of people and not become a monster. If they want me they can try and find me. I am NO tool of theirs. So if you got blood in mind, keep me out of this.”

   He looked at me with big eyes as I stormed out of there. I was so mad at that little prick for even thinking that was right but maybe he had a point. I felt a hand fall on my shoulder as I turned to see Righley.

  I turned and ran off to the woods around us. He followed me and soon was right next to me. I rolled my eyes as 3 figures popped up out of nowhere. No, not them they can’t be here right now. There was 2 guys and 1 girl standing in a line. They looked like robots that couldn't do anything on their own. I looked into their eyes and saw lose of each other and a life of hate. Nothing to work with, Great now I got to wing it.

“May I help you?”I asked nicely.

“You can come with us,”The girl said as a spider came into view in my mind.

“Too bad I can’t,”I said backing up,”I have a spider to go and take care of.”

  She soon went down screaming as her brothers just stared at me. I threw them the middle finger and ran away from them. Righley was laughing at what I just did. Those three were from kills and you got to make a run for it if you want to stay alive long enough. I ran till something hit me or did I hit it. I sat up to see a boy with dark brown hair and almost black eyes as if he was trying to kill someone. I stood up as he was towering over me.

“Sorry for that,”I said dusting myself off,”I wasn’t looking where I was going.”

“I didn’t notice that, Oh wait I did,”He said smart aleck like,”What are you even doing here anyway. Did the circus leave without you or something?”

“I like him,”Righley said,”I’m Righley Morris. What’s your name?”

“I’m Jeffery Reddick and I’m from Mask,”He snapped at us,“Like how miss Fear over here set the place on fire.”

“What did they call you Jeffery?”I asked counting to a hundred.

“The Demon Child of Hades,”He said a little too proud.

“So Jeff it is,”I snapped,“Isn’t that funny.”

“What about you princess,”He said smirking as I glared,“What do they call you?”

“The Fear Watcher,”I said as I thought about everyone in my part,”Name’s Randy Young. That’s The Fire Bomb.”

  He rolled his eyes and I felt my mind being invaded. My eyes glassed over and I was in my room, at only eight years old, crying my eyes out. Then it went to the progress of getting the power. It changed again to when my dad was shot in front of my eyes. I finally thought about IT from the movie and he finally stopped.

“Don’t ever do that or tell anyone about what you saw,”I snapped at him.

 All he did was nod as I death glared him. I felt Righley tap my shoulder as I noticed everything someone can be scared of flying everywhere. I took deep breathes and thought about my dad and my part, since we were like family. I felt much more calm and less likely to choke someone. I looked at the two boys and rolled my eyes.

  I began to walk as they followed me to a house that looked old. I went in and noticed it was my grandparents home. I was in Houston, Texas. I sighed and went on to a room I used when I was little. I fell on to the bed as my mind went blank and darkness took me.

Chapter 2

  I woke up to alarms going off outside the house. I shot up and saw that the army was outside and the boys were in the room with me hiding. I rolled my eyes as I grabbed my hoodie and put it on. I pulled the hood over my head and went to the backdoor. I looked out the window and noticed they had us surrounded.

  I crawled over to the closet and found my grandfather’s shotgun. Jeffery came down and I threw it to him. He gave me an evil grin as I took out a pistol and threw it to Righley. I got up and went to the door as those two went to the window. This is most likely going to end badly for one of us.

“Come out and none of you will get hurt,”one of them yelled to us.

“You don’t know what you’re dealing with,”I shouted back,”We got out for a reason and we're not going back.”

“Come on Ms. Young,”Someone I know all too well said,”It doesn’t have to be a bloodbath out here. You can stop this right now, if you will only go with them.”

  I peered out the window to see my old science teacher. He was short with greying hair. He was the only teacher that believed I could change the world, and he spent hours helping me out. He was like family to me and now he is telling me to stop running.

“I’m sorry Mr. Ryan Lee,”I said as I found a cherry bomb,”I can’t stop now.
