Not What It Seems

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Oh my gosh, best thing ever!" Cece says.

"I haven't done that since I left Mission Creek." Marcus says.

Cece smiles, then sighs. "So, what do we do now."

"Well you called me here for something." Marcus tells her.

"Right! I was going to say that they have created an alliance."

Marcus looks at Cece with a confused expression. "Who?"

"My idiot brother and his friends." Cece says.

Marcus's eyes widen. If they united, all of the hard work he and his dad had progressed in, would go down the drain. He quickly thought of an idea. It wasn't the best, but that's the only shot he has.

"Cece, we are in this together right?" Marcus starts off. "I was hoping you'd join me in something. Before they separate us."

Cece smiled, "like?"

"If we're going to be together, you have to do everything I tell you." Marcus takes out a pocket knife. "You'll need this. If they try to get you against me, stab them with it."

Cece looked down at the knife. This isn't like her. Injuring them would be too much. As much as she'd like to do this, it's wrong and could get her into problems. "No, I won't. You're pushing it too far. You don't need to do this."

"You're right. I don't need to do it nor I need you." Marcus laughs. "Cece I never loved you. You are an idiot to believe that I cared for you."

"How could you do this to me!?" Cece felt so betrayed.

He grabs the back of her neck, tilting her face closer to his. "You are a vulnerable, pathetic, idiotic girl. You are so naive and innocent. It was so simple to trick you."

She was on the verge of tears. "I trusted you!"

"And look where that's gotten you! You have nobody! Not even Rocky, you're alone!" Marcus taunts.

"But I'm not you." Cece takes the knife and stabs him in the side. Cece takes the opportunity to run away while he's in pain.

Marcus falls to the ground, letting her go. He takes the knife out of him and throws it down. "Wrong move."

Marcus was about to speed out when another body crashed in to him. The boy gave him a cold stare, calculating his next move.

"Marcus. Wow, nice to see you meet you in person. I'm S-3." The boy greets.

Marcus's eyes grew wide. He looked so much like Krane. He had to get out of here.

"You're getting out here already. Come on let's play for a little bit." S-3 said in a devilish tone.

Marcus speed off, S-3 was right at his tail. He had to get S-3 away from him. The only way to do so is create a distraction.

"Wait!" Marcus stopped to talk to S-3. "What do you want?"

S-3 smile, he'll finally get what Krane asked for. "Your father."

Marcus shut his eyes the looked at the soldier. "Too bad." Marcus used his lighting manipulation to hurt S-3. It's wouldn't kill him, but definitely stun him, and do some damage.

Marcus took the chance to escape while S-3 lied on the floor in pain.

Chase's POV

Today is the worst day! Adam was about to tell Davenport what we told our friends. Luckily Leo kicked his shin to make him yelp in pain rather than spit the truth.

What we're doing is wrong. We can't hide this secret forever, can we? Yet it's payback for him lying to us about our origins.

We were all in the living room watching TV. Mr. Davenport was in the lab and Tasha was with us. I received a text message from Jack.

Message: The group is headed your way

He couldn't have told us sooner.

Leo was by my side, so I told him, without Tasha knowing.

"Mom, is it okay to have friends over like now?" Leo asked.

"I don't see the problem." Tasha says.

We are definitely going to have problems if she's here. We hear a knock on the door and Adam stands up to open it.

"Hey guys!" Adam greets, letting them all in.

Tasha stands up to greet them. "You're their new friends. This is great. I can get you snacks, if you'd like."

"Thanks Mrs Davenport." Kim says kindly. This is perfect then.

Tasha goes to prepare healthy snacks for us. I can tell Jack is waiting for Tasha to get out of the hearing range to tell us something.

"Chase, we know understand why you hate Marcus so much." Jack says.

"Isn't he a sneaky liar?" Leo said receiving a few nods from the group.

Bree crosses her arms, "but he's still family. Which honestly I wish he wasn't."

"Trying to kill your own family is justifiable?" Brody speaks out.

I look where the elevator is. Davenport could walk up here any moment. "If we knew what were his next moves we would've stopped him and his dad by now."

"We do know his next move! We’re here to help you guys." Logan makes his way to the front, he looks at my siblings and I with regret in his eyes. "And I'm sorry I lied to you. I'm sorry for blaming you Adam. I lied because Marcus threaten to hurt you. Friends again?"

Leo and I look at Adam.

Adam stayed silent for a moment, then spoke really loudly. "Of course!" Adam gives Logan a bone crushing hug.

"Adam, you're crushing me." Logan could barely say.

Adam drops Logan and the we laugh at the two. Tasha comes back with a bowl full of fruits.

Milton takes a strawberry and says, "to our friendship."

The rest of us pick out a piece and repeat the same thing. "To friendship!"

We laugh and so does Tasha. "I don't know what I missed, but it looks like we're going to have lots of fun."

"Maybe we can have a sleepover here later!" Jerry suggests.

"That'd be awesome, but what will Mr. Davenport say?" I ask Tasha.

Tasha smiles, "I think I have you guys covered."

"Best mom ever." Jerry says.

"Totally." My siblings and I say at the same time.
