hand i get up and go for the door, he slams it " hey whats your problem" no response , i go down stairs i look at a light bulb and focus all my anger to my hand in a sudden all the lights burst and all that power goes to my hand " what the heck" am i stronger than cameron and jenn " is this why they need me " i shoot the power at the wall , it breaks a hole through it. " caleb are you okay" jenn comes through the front door " i was practicing a move" she sets down food in the kitchen table " listen i know this is hard to process in , its scary poeple trying to capture no one understanding what you are " i look at her " i am trying to adapt , but its hard i miss my family " " your mom and dad i know how you feel " she says to me " my dad , i didnt never knew my mom " i look up at her , she is thinking about something " is something wrong . She goes up stairs and goes into cameron's study room , locking the door behind her " that was weird " it seems like there is something there both not telling me " i need to find out what is going on here "
The Truth

Secrets are common , some good , some bad but what happens when the truth is revealed to you

i cant shake this feeling " jenn and cameron know something about me that i dont know " i go up stairs and knock on cameron's door " hey open the dam door" no one answers me " i have no patience " i stop and break open the door " there's no one in here " what the hell " i start lurking around his desk " there's nothing here but news paper s and notes " wait what is this " i pick up a file of me " why does he have this of me " i look around its my birth certificate , photos , and ...... a picture of a women " is this my mom " i tell myself " what the hell are you doing in here " i turn around and see cameron looking mad " why do you have a file of me " he picks me up " you need to be taught a lesson in personal privacy" he throws me out the window i fall on the floor hard " you better start running " he says climbing out the window " bring it on BITCH " i lift my hand he lifts up " please your too weak" he pushes me , i fly and hit a tree " dam this is gonna be hard" i start getting angry i run towards him , he runs towards me " STOP IT " jenn stops us " cameron stop getting mad " she says tired " no jenn he wont be able to handle it " cameron says " if you dont then i will " jenn says walking towards us " tell me what , what is going on here " i says confused " fine but you wont believe us ' cameron says wiping dirt off his pants " me and jenn are brother and sister" he says getting near jenn " okay so what does that have to do with me " i tell them confused " its should be important to you because your our baby brother " jenn says walking to me " im your ..... brother ?" i say confused " was my mom like me , and did she have kids with someone else "

" wait so let me get this straight you guys are my brother and sister " i start backing up " yes and we need your help , our mom is in danger " jenn says " your mom she left me and my dad alone " i go running back into the house " caleb wait " jenn says running after me . I go back into the house only to get my things " caleb stop " jenn says closing the door " im leaving i got to leave i cant stay here im going to go back home " she stops me " caleb you are home" i push her away " no your not my family " i start walking to the door when i get hit my something that shocks my nerve system " cameron why did you do that" he puts his hand down " what we need him we cant just let him walk out that door " . I open my eyes and see myself tied up " really the whole good cop bad cop routine to try to make me stay " cameron walks to me and he punches me in the nose " arghhh i think you broke it" he steps back " thats not the only thing that im gonna break if you dont help us " jenn walks in " cameron stop , she comes and unbinds me " were not gonna force you to stay " she goes and gets me a towel to wipe my of my blood " listen caleb i know its hard for you to understand but there is a war going on right now , and we need you to help us get our mom back before they kill her" he stops pretending to be the bad guy " he looks like he is desperate for my help "

i get up " look i want to help , but i cant stay here " i start walking torwards the front door " bye caleb i guess well see you around i guess" jenn says giving me a towel " ill come back " i tell her opening the door.

When we see lights outside and men with guns " caleb get inside now " jenn says closing the door " cameron we need to leave now " cameron comes running out the door " how did they find us " he starts heading for the back door , when a swarm of men come through the back " dont move there is no point in fighting us " i stop and look at there lights i think of a plan " guys get down now " i get mad when there all the lights burst and i use the energy to blast a exit " now guys run " we all start running " we have to stick together " jenn says , we keep running its dark and cold " men capture them " they start running torwards us when we here a scream "arghhh " its cameron " we have one of them " CAMERON " jenn says going torwards them " NO JENN " i yell grabbing her " well get him back " when i hear a noise behind us " dont move " jenn grabs him and throws him as far as she can " wait jenn look , who is that " we look and see a man with dark gray hair and green eyes " hey there cameron we ve been waiting to meet you " cameron looks up " you , your doing this " the man starts laughing " take him in , well gets the other two later" he says walking away " men retreat " they all start falling back " do you know them jenn " i ask her "no ..... " she gets interrupted " burn the place down " we hear noises and in a few seconds we see the house on fire " NOOO!!!! jenn starts going torwards the house " no jenn dont " she goes inside , and runs upstairs . i go inside and run to cameron's study room " shit what do i get " i just get his trash can and throw out all his garbage on the floor and fill it with all these papers and files when i see the roof collapsing " jenn where are you " i look around and find her unconscious with a burning log on top of her " jenn get up " i move the log and grab her " get up" i turn around and see a ball of fire about to hit us when i close my eyes and wished i was out side i feel time stopped and i feel my skin cold i open my eyes " im outside " i look around and see the house burning down " how did i do that " i put jenn down and watch the house burn down " what are we going to do now "
