The Misfits

Others and Time- Chapters 5 and 6

Lynn's POV

The feeling in my gut about what was to come lead me away from thinking about our kiss. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen. But first I really think we need to find something to eat. I looked over at Alex and slowly worked up the courage to ask him. "Alex," I said tentatively, "I think we should find something to eat." Yep, I thought that was a little too blunt.

But instead of yelling at me like I was expecting him to do he just stopped pacing and replied, "sure." He then started to walk in a random direction.

I just stood there taken aback by Alex. I think he has more mood swings than a teenage girl. I then started to jog after him. But then I stopped short realizing one, well two, major flaws in our plan. "Ummm Alex," I called out not realizing he had also stopped and was standing next to me. "What money are we going to use to buy food?" I asked looking in the general direction to which I thought he stood.

He looked back at me and sated in a 'duh' tone "With the money I stole from my parents." He pulled the money out of his pocket fanning it out to show me.

"How much?" I asked curiously. I couldn't be that much because he stole it while running away. But before he could even think to answer I felt a huge wave of pain wash over me.

"Lynn?" He asked looking really worried.

"It's happening!" I said leaning against the closest thing I could find. The feeling in my gut was getting stronger and stronger as Alex scurried to my side.

"Whats happening?" He gasped staring at me oblivious to what was happening to me.

"You know how I have been able to feel something bad happening before it actually happens?" I asked Alex hoping he would catch my drift. Still looking at me wide-eyed he nodded for me to continue. I groaned as more pain washed over me before I continued. "Well," I continued, " I think I am going to have my first episode where I actually see the future instead of just feeling it." I took a deep breath in bracing myself for the worst. But before I hear his reply a finale agonizing wave of pain came over me before I was engulfed in darkness.

I heard Alex scream and rush over to my side as I fell, but after that, it was everything deliquesced. For a second there was completely nothing before I heard someone calling my name.

"Lynn, Lynn!" The unknown figure called as it made it way closer to me. It was tall and ghostly looking, the kind of appearance that sent shivers down your spine. The figure was shrouded in a long and dark cloak, so much so that you could only see its eyes. They appeared sorrowful and guilty as the peered into my own. As grey as the darkest line, you could make with a pencil, they sure belonged to somebody who had seen a lot. The figure continued to lurk closer and spoke again, "Lynn you need to find the other and fix this before he does."

"What?" I croaked as I backed away from the figure. Many questions were running through my head as I thought, Who did I need to find? Where were they? But the most troubling one being, who was this he and what were his evil plans?

The figure spoke again saying, "We don't have much time! You must do this quickly or the entire world with the end as we know it!"

"What do you mean?!" I screamed fighting back my newly present tears.

The figure started strutting away from me but before it was completely gone it turned and said, "If you do not fix this, the new beginning of the world will also be the end." With that, the figure was gone, and I was left with more questions than answers.

"Lynn, Lynn!" I heard my name being called again as I began shaking violently. Then my eyes flew open and I saw Alex shining a light in my eyes inches away from my face. " OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY?" Alex yelled jumping to his feet.

I sat up and studied Alex's worried face. But before I could even think of a worthy reply a giant ominous boom followed by a flash of blinding white light came once again causing me, and this time Alex, to see black.

Chapter Six

Alex's POV

What the heck just happened! Lynn wakes up from her he vision thingy and then all of this happens. Would it kill whatever higher power there is to just give us a peaceful moment?! Just as those thoughts crossed my mind a solemn face appeared in my view. It looked young and old at the same time, but I had no idea why that was so I worked up the courage to say something to the disembodied head. "W-Who are you?" I willed myself to say.

"I hide behind the mask the beginning and the end have created for me, but what I am is not what I was."

That was not even close to the answers that I was looking for so I pressed on. "Okay, but why are you here talking to me?"

"The end has come and in doing so the beginning has come yet again." The figure answered matter-a-factly.

I pondered that for a minute. New beginning? What was this senile dude talking about? Like sure there was a flash of light and then darkness, but what did that have to do with anything. But more importantly, what did that have to do with me? "What does that have to do with me? Also, what does new begining mean." I asked more curious than I was before his makeshift answers.

He seemed to study me for a second as if choosing his words carefully before saying "You son, have everything to do with thr new begining. The new begining of our kind, without a cruel ruler. Our boss had us aid you now you must do the rest."

After those words left his, old or new, lips he began to dissipate, just like my hope for ever being normal. Just then, I bolted up from my climatic slumber. I gasped and greedily gulped in the icy air. "LYNN!" I called now getting up and searching around for her.

"RIGHT HERE!" I heard her yell from what seemed to be far off.

I took off sprinting further into the woods. Then I stopped straight in my tracks. Woods? But we were on the beach. Weren't we? "LYNN?" I called again slightly more scared and confused this time. After those words, she came running toward me with the same look of confusion I wore.

"So let me guess," she said starting to run her hand through her hair, "You had the same dream with that weird guy and ended up lying in the middle of the woods like me?"

"Wow, you're pretty good at guessing things," I said taking in our new surroundings. The sounds of nature never ceasing to amaze me.

"I guess you could say that, but right now what we need to figure out is, what, why, and how all of this craziness just happened," she replied looking around as well.

"Yeah," I said agreeing with every word she said.

Suddenly we hared a rustling coming from somewhere around us followed by a call of "Anybody there?" The voice sounded like it was coming from a guy, or was it a boy?

Then Lynn made possibly the dumbest decision I have ever heard or seen her make. "Yeah over here!!" She yelled. She continued to jump up and down and make quite a ruckus.

"What the heck are you doing!" I whisper yelled, "You could get us killed!"

"She just glared at me before saying, "Maybe this guy can help us." She then continued waving her arms and yelling.

The rustling got louder and louder until I could hear it coming from right next to us. I braced myself for what was to come, and before I knew it this kid no older than eleven was standing before us. I am only two years older than him, I think, but I sure am a lot taller. His light brown hair and hazel eyes made him look younger than he probably was though.

"I'm Drew." He said reaching his hand out to shake Lynn's.

"I'm Lynn" She replied shaking it, " and this is my friend, Alex" I also shook his hand.

"So, what exactly is a little kid like you doing in the jungle?" I asked suspiciously, but knowing he could probably ask us the same question.

"Well," he said, " I was searching for a flashlight in the store near the beach when I saw a flash of light, and then ended up here."

Then I heard Lynn's voice in my head saying, "He must be one of the others." I then asked her also in my head. "Others what does that mean?"

She turned back to Drew and said out loud "Do you by any chance have superpowers?"

Talk about being blunt I thought. The kid looked like a deer in the headlights. Then I noticed something I hadn't before. "Hey guys" I interrupted " did you notice that it is light out?" They both looked up at the sky and then turned back to me.

"Well," Lynn started to answer, "I guess it is but I guess that makes sense with world starting over."

"WHAT!" Drew screeched. Slowly backing away from us.

"Yes, alarming I know." Lynn commented, " That is exactly why I need you to tell me if you have powers because I think you might be able to help us."

He slowly came back towards us. "Wait," he said, "Do you have powers?"

He looked really confused so I answered. "Yes we both do, I can control the weather and Lynn can read minds, sort of teleport, and nonselectively see the future." A grin spread across his face as I said this.

"Yes I do have powers," he said, "and thought I would never find anybody else who did!" He then pumped his fist in the air for a celebration.

"I knew it!" Lynn cried giving me a hug.

"Knew what? I asked looking slightly bewildered.

"In my vision, the guys said we need to find the other and I'm guessing he is one of them," she said releasing her death grip on me.

Okay?" I said still questioning her theory. Then I decided to see if she was right. "What exactly is your power kid?" I asked

He gave me this cocky grin and replied with, "let me show you."

"Okay," I said ready to see what this kid had in him.

He then looked up and said, "See that bird flying overhead?"

Lynn and I both looked at each other before nodding at him.

"Good," he replied and almost before the words left his mouth the bird stopped along with everything else that surrounded us.
