PREVIOUSLY ON CALEB'S MIND:

Caleb wasn't the only special child.

Mrs Patrick...... On seeing herself and her late husband on TV she wept on my shoulders.

When we got to my house, I discovered the door was open..........."Is someone still in?", ...... "I am not sure"...

"Caleb?", I uttered in shock as he walked out of the shadows with a stainless metal box in his hand.

He is not Caleb?.........."I am his brother, Kelvin"

CALEB'S P.O.V:

When the video was over, Mrs. Patrick cried for quite a while, apologizing to me for not allowing her husband adopt me.

As she leaned on me crying, I could feel her heart, b__bs and tears moving at a steady pace. I ignored all other feelings and focused on the one I loved the most.

For a reason unknown to me, I don't feel emotions, the only I have ever really felt is the pleasure from lust and desire is lust, anger and hate. Love, passion, sympathy, sorrow, and all others, I have never felt before. So even while she cried from the depths of her heart over someone who seemingly died for me, I couldn't help but obey the one emotion I can feel, Lust!

When she was done crying, she drove me back to the school, and told me that if I needed anything, I shouldn't hesitate to call her.

I stood in front of the school, with Mrs. Patrick's number written on the paper in my hand.

As she drove off, I had a quick look at it. In less than a second, I had it memorized and threw the paper away.

I walked into the partially deserted school in search of Merylin. There were not many people in it and so I could concentrate properly on the few voices resonating.

"So what's going to happen to our school now that Mr. Patrick's gone?", a student asked another. "I don't know Sally, we are probably going to find out next week, the school board has called a temporary vacation", the other replied.

"Isn't that Merylin's brother, Caleb?", someone said as I continued walking down the hallway slowly. "Yeah it is!", the other replied, "Where then is Merylin?", "I saw her leaving the school with Mary, I really don't know where they went!"

Mary and Merylin out of the school, where must they have gone?

I turned around immediately and walked back towards the door, "Did he hear us?", "Why did he suddenly turn around?"

They asked themselves as I walked out of the school, regretting why I made such a sharp turn.

Keeping such a secret has to be the most difficult job on earth, knowing that there will be poor and unattended children who are going to die if the secret should leak to the government.

As soon as I stepped out, I heard a familiar sound.

"Caleb!", I heard a voice call as I turned to the direction the sound was coming from. It was Mrs. Jones, and the familiar sound was her car, the sound it made due to her almost flat tire, it wasn't so loud but I could hear it.

"I came as fast as I could! Are you okay? Where is Merylin and Mary?", she asked as she rushed out of the car.

"I don't know", I replied. "What do you mean you don't know? Weren't you all in school together?", she asked.

"Mr. Patrick's wife took me out, and when I came back, they were gone", I replied.

"They must have gone home, get in, let's go to your place!", she said as she rushed back into the car.

I followed reluctantly, thinking of why Merylin would want to go home with Mary. It's more believable for them to go out to a park or something. Merylin is the kind of girl that would try to surpress her anger and pain by having fun, and Mary, even though can be buried in them, can be easily persuaded by Merylin.

We got on the road and headed to the Vixus's house.

"Oh my girls! They must be so devastated, especially Mary, I know how she reacted to loosing her grandfather, it wasn't so easy on her even though they weren't that close. I really hope they found a way to distract themselves, that truly helps Mary, she could forget about her pain in a second, as long as there is a worthy distraction", she said as she sped on.

MERYLIN'S P.O.V:

"How are you able to do that?", I asked surprised.

Could the metal bar be a prop? Could it be just to scare me?

"I was born this way! Just like Caleb, I too have some special abilities!", Kelvin replied.

"Merylin!", I heard Mary's voice yelling at its peak.

"Mary!", I yelled back trying to turn my chair around, for her voice seemed to be coming from directly behind me.

"What are you doing to her?", I asked aggressively, "Nothing... Yet", he replied.

"Let us go you psycho!", I yelled crying, "Darling please, if there's anyone who's a psycho, is your beloved Caleb", he replied.

"What do you need Caleb for? What do we have to do with your problems?", I asked as I looked at the ropes I was tied with, if there was anyway I could get loose.

"Caleb's an idiot! An idiot who doesn't know what he is truly capable of!", he said as he squeezed the Metal bar like an ordinary meat.

"I annoys me that I need him!", he said as he held up the metal box in his hand, "I need him to open this box", he added as he folded the metal into a ball.

I have to be a big girl, and figure out a way out of this mad house. First I mustn't show fear.

"Stop playing with your customized metal or what ever that is, I am not buying the act. If you really can fold metals like that, why not break open the box, you clown!", I said trying to act tough.

"The box isn't just any metal, I have taken it to labs and workshops, none can open it! It was built for the mind... Unfortunately, Caleb possesses it! and the idiot uses it in school to solve algebras", he said as he squeezed the metal bar some more as some of it went inbetween his fingers.

I refused to be moved by his fake acts, "You are a fake! The box and the metal bar in your hand both look the same to me! Just that one is a prop and the other is the real deal, that's why you need Caleb to open it!", I said now gaining up confidence.

"You think this is fake!", he said now provoked. He immediately threw it against the floor, and like a metal should sound, so did it, and before I could blink, he was in front of me.

"You still think I am fake?", he asked and stomped his feet against the ground making a huge thud.

As soon as his leg made contact with the ground, it got visibly bulge.

"Don't make me mad, else your face would be the ground the next time I stomp my feet!", he said and sped off faster than I could blink as I shook in fear.

I think I just peed on myself!

CALEB'S P.O.V:

We finally arrived at the house, the door was opened down.

"It seems there are in", Mrs. Jones said as she parked in front of the house and jumped out of the car.

I got down from the car slowly, I couldn't hear the sound of anyone's heart beating, I doubt anyone's inside. But then, why is the door open?

"Mary! Merylin!", she said as she rushed inside.

I followed slowly looking around carefully. Something wasn't right.

On the cemented ground having a few sand on it, I could see the trail of someone being dragged.

"Oh my God!!", Mrs. Jones screamed.

I rushed in and could hear her heart pound, "What's wrong?", I asked.

She cried as she haded me a note written with someone's blood.

It read: "I warned you Caleb! Come to the advard street, No. 92, before someone gets hurt!"

"We have to call the police", Mrs. Jones said as she brought out her phone.

Something's strange, why leave such a note in an open place? What if I wasn't the one that found it? This guy definitely has a plan or is as stupid as shoe!

After calling the police, Mrs. Jones turned to me, "what have you done?", she asked.

I looked at her unable to find a reply for the question she threw at me.

"What's your name doing on the note?", she asked.

And I remained quiet. She immediately began to cry alot louder, "If you don't tell me what this has to do with you, I'll expose you to the police!", she said aloud.
