We left Juan Carlos' house and headed into the forest. We headed deep into the woods to be as secluded as possible. The plan was for Libby to hijack the broadcasting system back in the states to project my message to all tvs and cellphones. I would warn the humans but use a dual voice to instruct the specials. Dual voice was very convenient as Micheal discovered in the past wars. Humans can’t hear below a certain frequency, to them it will sound like a very slight silent hum. Specials are the only ones that will actually be able to hear the message. Humans were never able to discover how we communicated in the old wars, so I had no fear of them being able to intercept the message. “Okay I feel like this is a good enough spot.” I looked at Lucas, not helping the smile that appeared on my face as I looked at his handsome face. “Can you please materialize the camera for Libby to hijack and some lights?” I asked him. He smiled back and held his hands out having the camera materialize in

LIZ P.O.V.I watched in disbelief as a special named Astrid flashed across our television. Her voice sounded odd, I could hear a slight hum in the video that really annoyed me. Focusing my attention on it I realized the hum wasn’t a hum. She was speaking. I had never seen or heard something like this before. If I didn’t focus on the hum I could hear her talking about how she wasn’t to blame for Barker Street. When I focused on the hum I heard her talking about a ‘specials airport’. I had never heard of a specials airport before either. She apologized for uprooting our lives, and told us that we had 15 minutes starting at 8 to get to the airports and either meet her in Mexico to fight or go to Spain to hide out till it was over or help in other ways. I looked towards my parents, who looked at the tv in horror. “What’s a specials airport?” I asked them, and they turned to look at me confused. “Liz, now isn’t the time for your random questions

AstridI waited patiently for people to start coming through. Thoughts of doubt plagued my mind. I wasn’t sure how many people would come and fight with us. I needed a good number in order to really make a difference in this war. I was worried they would change their minds once they were here too. I stared at the portal, like an idiot, instead of getting things ready for when people did start to arrive. About a minute later someone came through the portal. It was a bigger man, he had the figure of a bodybuilder. I walked over to him and welcomed him. I tried not to smile too much, just giving him a slight smirk instead. I needed to make sure these people would respect me. I couldn’t be too friendly right off the bat, they would question whether or not I could lead this fight. I had Lucas set up signs to split the people that arrived by their ability. I needed to know what kind of specials I had available. I was hoping we would have a good number, but also a good variety. The man th

My first opponent had a level 2 power, a little below the average, but with the right moves could be just as dangerous as a 3. He handled himself well, he blocked well and I could tell he was waiting for an opening to attack me. He would have to create one if he wanted to find one. He evaded my punches and kicks well. He eventually used his ability, shooting spikes from his arms. His aim was good, but the spikes were too slow. In the end I knocked him on his ass. He shook the dirt off himself and walked off upset. My next opponent was a level 4, so I prepared myself. He immediately turned his body into magma. I see why he got a rating of 4, but I wonder how well he fights or if he thinks he’s just untouchable because of his body. I went to punch him and he didn’t bother to move. I turned my fist into titanium right before striking him in the face. He wasn’t expecting that and was too slow to avoid it. It knocked him back a few feet, and you could clearly tell he hadn’t taken a punch

I was so tired from last night. I didn't want to get up early again and train again. I could still feel a tinge of last night's headache as I rubbed my temples. The light that came in through the window was tinted a light blue as the sun rose from the night sky. "Good morning" Lucas said, seeing my eyes open. "We got breakfast handled already, why don't you rest a little more?" He offered. I nodded knowing I would need that extra hour today. "I love you. Thank you" I told him, closing my eyes again. He planted a kiss on my head and I heard him leave and close the door behind him. I slept for that extra hour and it helped some but I could have honestly used like 4 more hours. I dragged myself off the bed and got dressed. I knew today would be more of a headache. We didn’t finish with the mental abilities yesterday so they were first up this morning. I wanted to curse myself for wanting to test everyone's ability but I really needed to know what we were working with. Ye
