Gifted

Chapter 21

"It some sort of glow. I don't really know what it is. I just know that Jin and I have one," he shrugs.

"I don't have one," I reply.

"You haven't tried...and you havn't even got a Gift yet " he says standing up.

"Yes I do I have a language Gift," I say.

"Explains why you have your headset off," he says

"So what was the glow for anyways?" I ask changing the subject

"Heat sense, twins normally have the same heat," he explains. Suddenly Mark's hands light up again and his hand pointed down the end of the alley.

"He's that way," Mark pointed. We make our way down the alley way, onto the street. Beside us is a medium-sized, brick building.

"That's the government building. They built the tunnels underneath it so that no one else woud find them," Mark explains.

"Skroinkkk," The loud oink from a pig distracts slus. The pig was playing in a mud puddle.

"What's a pig doing in the middle of New York?" I ask slowly apprkaching a pig.

"Apperently it was with Mason," Mark picks up a small, silver spoon. I don't even want to know what that has to do with Mason.

"C'mon let's go look around. but I think we should bring the pig. Not only would Bret be able to find us if he saw it but it's cute," I suggest. Mark nods and we walk down the street.

Obviously people in New York don't see pigs much becaus ether stared at me and Mark as we walked. I tried looking down to avoid their glare but it didn't help. I look up to Mark. For help to find that he's staring at me too.

"Is something wrong?" I ask. Shoot that came out harsher than expected.

"Nothing," he says then turns away.

"Obviously something is or you wouldn't be ignoring me," I respond

"I said it's nothing," he suddenly becomes very interested in the ground.

"Mark I don't know if you had a sibling but I did. Trust me I can tell you're lying," I step in front of him causing him to look back up at me. I'm must be doing a good job of pissing him off because the air is warming up.

"Skrrooinnnkkk," the pig squeals. Even the pig can tell he's hiding something.

"It's the kiss alright," he confesses.

"Why what's wrong," I ask again.

"It was just that it was..um...rushed...rash...2nd degree if you will-" he stumbles over his words

"A mistake?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

"Ye- I mean no...Clara it's hard," he tries to answer but I've already turned and started the opposite direction.

"Wait Clara," he calls after me. Fuck him, I don't need his help finding my brother. We spent 9 months wrapped around each other for god's sake. You'd think we'd have one of those wack twin sense things.

"Clara we need to find your brother," Mark jogs in front of me. Mistake.

"Go away Mark," I mutter then slide around him. Surprisingly he doesn't try to follow me as I turn into an alley. I sit down in between some trash cans and set the pig onto my lap. Tears started to roll down my cheeks.

"Mark was right. It was too fast. How could I even begin to like a guy I literally met two weeks ago," I talk to the pig. It grunts in response.

"God I was so delusional. Then there's the fact that I'm 15 and living in a house of freak people. Then I find out I'm gonna become one and my brother's missing and shit I'm talking to a pig.

"It's okay I'm sure at least one of your problems will work out right away," someone says. I stare hard at the pig who is daedly looking into space.

"And now the pig'stalking back to me. Fuck, now I'm not just screwed I'm crazy," I cry as delusional tears stream down my face.

"Sorry Clare, I don't think your that crazy," I look up to see a boy with messy blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes look down at me.

"BRET!!!"I scream and literally jump on him.

"Clara," he sighs and hugs me back.

"It's to see you in person," I smile

"You had that dream too?" he asks

"Just shut up I haven't seen you in weeks," I cry. I enjoy the hug for a good 5 minutes before Bret lets go of me.

"So you are...Gifted," slowly I nod and reaval the spiral mark on my shoulder. In return he shows me his incomplete circle...since when were his arms so ripped?

"Speaking of which there was this girl her name was Mason-" Bret cuts me off

"You know Mason?" Bret interrupts.

"Just a bit we met bout an hour ago in a closet," Bret gives me the weirdest look" long story"

"Go on," he urges but before I can continue a familiar shape turns into the alley.

"I thought I told you to go away Mark," I glare darts at him but he continues forward.

"Clara, we need...to get out...of here," he pants.

"Why so you can kiss me than then tell me it was a mistake again," I retort.

"Wait who was kissing?" Bret cuts in harshly. Seriously now you bring in your big brother shit?

"C'mon we need to go," Mark grabs my wrist but I yank it away.

"We'll go when I'm finished talking to Bret he has a right to know about what's happening," I say

"Do...it in the tunnels...we don't have much time," he pants desperately.

"THERE HE IS COMMENCE OPERATION 219," someone shouts. Two men slide down the building like in a spy movie. Then before I can help him, they've grabbed Bret.

"BRET!" I scream but the men are already gone.
