Chapter Twenty

"So, you've lied to me more that once then? You were sent to protect me from my powers?" My voice raising.

"I didn't lie to you Newt,"

"What's your power?" I ask trying to change the subject, I don't even know if he has one.

"I'm a Dryad," He says. "It's like, being a fairy I guess. I can control nature,"

"Then you put the tree house back together not me?" I say and he nods.

"Is that why the treehouse was your safe house?" I ask and he nods again.

"I want to let you know everything I told you was real Newt, my parents are really my parents, and they do prefer Chuck, because he's normal. He's not supernatural," he mutters. And I almost feel sorry for him.

"Then how are you.. How do you have powers if they don't?" I say.

"It doesn't work like that, sometimes, it's just how you're born, no matter if your parents are human or not, but your parents were supernatural, that I know of," he says.

"Can I see them?" I ask, a little excitement in my voice, my real parents? I can meet my real parents.

His eyes lock on the floor and he won't look at me.

"I'm so sorry Newt," he says and I know what's coming. "They died,"

I have so many more questions but I can't seem to get them out. But Thomas almost reads my mind.

"You know the earth quake? It was made, by a man we call ratman. He made one a few years ago, and everyone got out alive apart from them. But they died saving everyone... Myself included," he says.

"You, y--ou met them? My real parents and you never thought to let me know?!" My voice is trembling and I bite down on my lip hard to stop it from quivering. I won't cry. I won't.

"It's forbidden Newt. Your powers hadn't activated, so WCKD couldn't allow you to find out.. Remember. It might trigger your powers," he says.

"What did trigger my powers?" I ask.

"The earthquake.. It was planned by ratman, he knew if you did have powers you'd have to use them to protect yourself, and you did. So now he can track you," he says.

I know the earthquake wasn't the trigger. Nothing happened to me until I saw Thomas wasn't breathing and I couldn't get to him, couldn't help him, that's when it started.

"Track me?"

"Every supernatural has a trace, sort of like a barcode, so when you were activated, ratman was able to locate where you were,". He says.

"Why isn't he here then?" I ask.

"We got you away quickly, and he can only track you when your power is in use, so as long as you don't use it, he can't,"he says.

"What does he want with me?" I ask voice shaking.

"Your special Newt. Very special, that's why he wants you, that's why your parents died trying to defend your files, that's why Gally got out with you and then me. You can heal people Newt, he wants to revert it, like a weapon, so he can wipe people out,"

I can't find words to say. Everything in my mind is just spinning around and around and it's too much.

Too much information.

To many lies.

The room shakes and I let out a yelp.

"It's okay," Thomas says pulling me to his chest, "It's just Aris,"

Aris walks into the room. He's build big but looks very young but then he shrinks down, and everything looks normal.

"Aris can shape shift his body," Thomas says and I give a shy nod burying myself into Thomas neck. He lies down next to me and wraps his arms around me.

Perfect.

Decided I'd continue it as a longer story rather than a sequel but it's going to be slow updates and I don't proof read so if there is an error let me know nicely Thankyou X
