I awoke with a small groan, my eyes still not open. That was when the memories hit me like a wave and forced myself to open my eyes. I was in a dark building, my hands were tied behind my back. A soft sob escaped my lips when I saw Kira unconscious next to me because reality hit: we are going to die.

I nudged Kira until she slowly open her eyes. Noticing her surrounding, the daze wiped quickly off of her face. Her face was full of fear when she opened her mouth, "It's Barrow. He brought us here."

I was getting ready to respond until an axe sliced through the air, silencing us. Once he was done, he dragged a wire he cut straight toward us. We both wiggle around, helplessly trying to manage to cut ourselves loose.

Sparks flew everywhere as he decided to rub the end across the fence. I winced as got closer, smiling devilishly. "What are you doing?" Kira asks in a small voice as a single tear runs down her face.

"Right now?" He asks as he shrinks to our level, slipping my phone out of my pocket. "Right now, I'm going take your picture." He says as he grabs Kira's phone. "Just a little proof of our time here together. A little proof for those who never believed."

Barrow then takes multiple pictures with the flash on with both phones. How does he even know about that? I think to myself while our killer is busy snapping photos of us. "Our you done being our paparazzi?" I say, trying to act brave but my voice cracks halfway. "I thought you were going to kill us."

"Oh I am." Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't ready to die. I didn't want to die. What did we do to deserve this fate?

"Okay, you got your picture. Can you please consider letting us go?" Kira asked with a quivering voice.

"Did you ever see a movie called Village of the Damned? The original, not the remake. Nobody cares about the crappy remakes. I'm talking about the 1960, black-and-white masterpiece. Huh?" Barrow says as he glances from Kira to me. "It's about this group of children. Blonde-haired, beautiful children that can make their eyes glow." He started to stroke Kira's cheek and place a hand underneath my chin. "And they did terrible, terrible things. The tag line on the poster read Beware the stare that will paralyze the will of the world. Now, when I told everyone I saw children with glowing eyes, they wouldn't believe me." He gets back onto his feet, causing both of us to flinch to think about what he has in store for us. "I tried to get them to do something, but they wouldn't budge. They wouldn't move. As if they had been paralyzed. I am going to shake them of their paralysis. I am going to get them moving. I'm gonna," This was when he picks up the sparking wire, "galvanize them."

Barrow then looks away from us, like he knows something is coming toward us. He picks up the wire, disappearing into the shadows. "Scott!" Kira and I both simultaneously trying to warn him. Coming from behind with the wire, Barrow shows his face which is smiling with glee. "Look out!" Kira yells, trying to warn him but it is too late. By the boy turns, Barrow hit him with the wire, sending him back into a fence. He then picks up the second half of the wire and starts walking toward us.

"Please!" I beg as my full attention is the object sparking in his hands.

"Don't" Scott cries out. I take this time to put my arm in Kira's. We have always been with each other. It only seems right to die with each other as well.

Barrow lowers to our level, a grin of victory spread across his face. I close my eyes as the wire slowly comes closer toward us. Suddenly a white light makes it way into the room and at that point, I was pretty sure I was dead. Opening up my eyes, I see Kira and I, still hand and and. We somehow got free of the ropes binding us. That wasn't even the strange part. The electricity was collecting onto my free palm and was somehow being transferred to Kira. Once we were done collecting the electricity, we dropped our hands, causing our strange electric bond to break.

The kid Stiles then runs into the room, pausing after he sees the disaster we made. He helped Scott up, then came running toward me with an unreadable expression. "Are you okay?" He asks while he scanned me for any injuries.

I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him the truth, "After what just happened, I don't even know."

----

Apparently, both Kira and I helped blackout the entire town while sucking in electricity. Opps. Well what can I say, I rather have no electricity than be dead. Currently, our absence didn't go unnoticed and we had to take a visit to the police station.

"So, when did you get there?" Agent McCall questioned the teen boys.

"At the same time." Stiles answered like anyone could figure out what he meant.

"Same time as who?" Agent presses.

"At the same time as me." Scott answers as he raises in hand like he is in school.

"By coincidence?" Agent asks again.

"What do you mean by coincidence?" Stiles mused.

Agent looks ready to give up. I wouldn't blame him either if I was him. In fact I would smack then with the notebook in his hands. "That's what I am asking you. The two of you arrived at the same time. Was is a coincidence?"

"Are you asking me?"Scott said confused.

"I think he's asking me." Stiles confirms.

I face-palmed myself, allowing a sigh escape my lips. I just had a terrible day and I want to go home. "I think he is asking the both of you." Lydia finally pipes in.

Agent looks like he had enough before silencing them. "Okay let me answer the questions." A huge smirk forms on Stiles face before turning toward me. I couldn't help but let a smile creep upon my face after seeing how goofy he looks. At least I know I'm not the only tired one. "Let me ask the questions. Just so I have this absolutely clear." Agent looks back down at the notebook he had been writing notes in. "Barrow was hiding in he chemistry closet at the school. Someone left a coded message on the blackboard to kill Kira, as well as Bella."

"That sounds just about right." Stiles says, pointing after my mini conversion.

"How did you know he'd take them to the power station?" Agent asks another question.

"Well cause he was an electrical engineer. So were else can he take them?" Stiles answers.

"That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles." Agent said, sounding unconvinced.

"Yeah, what can I say? I take it after my pops. He's in law enforcement." Stiles said while glancing over at his dad. I couldn't help but crack a grin. Mr. Stilinski couldn't do a better job either and started to laugh before Agent McCall sent him a dirty look so tried covering it up with coughs.

"Stiles, just answer the man." Sheriff says while rubbing his chin.

"We made a good guess." Stiles finally answers simply.

Seeming satisfied, Agent turns his attention to me. "Bella...were you really in the bathroom when Barrow captured you." McCall seems a little uncomfortable about the question. I wouldn't blame him, I was too.

"At least know he wasn't just crazy, but was a pervert as well." I say awkwardly.

Not wanting to linger on the question longer, his attention turned to Kira and Scott. "What the two of you doing?"

"Eating sushi."

"Eating pizza."

Wide-eyed, they look at each other before answering again.

"Eating pizza."

"Eating sushi."

Taking a deep breath, they try to tackle the question once more.

"Eating sushi and pizza." They say in sync.

"I'll second that." I say as I raise my hand.

McCall looks back at the Sheriff, "You believe this?"

"To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak. But I think these kids found themselves in the right place, at the right time, and those two girls sitting there is very lucky for it." Mr. Stilinski sums up.

"Bella, Kira, is that how you remember it?" Agent McCall asks us. I honestly didn't want to lie but I think we both knew it was for the best. Both of us silently shook our heads up and down.

"Yes."

"Can we have our phones back now?" Kira asks, a question that has been on her mind the full time.

"Sorry but no." Kira and I looked at each other. I was scared about what was going to happen next.

"Bella, Kira, I deputy is going to take you home, but you need to sign some paperwork first." Agent told us before letting myself wander into my own thoughts.
