was wrong.

“The dark Island,”He said leaving.

“I had to guess that,”I said as I threw myself to my bed,”Why does the world hate me?” 

Chapter 7

I looked at the girl as she smiled back at me. I saw that a younger version of me walked into the room and looked at her. I watched as the younger version looked around then back at her.

“Maxy why can’t I meet your friends?”The girl asked as I watch them.

“For they are mine and I don’t want you stealing them from me,”Younger me said,”Plus you are not like them and won’t understand Linus.”

“But he’s cute,”The girl argued,”Please give me a chance Maxy. I won’t misunderstand them.”

“I can live without you in my life,”Younger me said as she turned around and the room started to swirl,”I could really.”

I watched as the glass shattered and the girl that wanted to see my friends disappeared without another word. Younger me turned around and saw nothing. She ran around looking for the girl and saw the window as it was fixing. She looked in it and saw the girl there on an island. I watched as the younger me picked up a brush and chunked it at the window.

“Max what was that,”Mom asked as younger me looked around.

“The window took her,”I said running to her,”So I had to break it.”

“We’ll get her back,”Mom said as the room around me disappeared.

I shot up wide awake. What was that? How did that happen to the girl? I looked around and went to the window. Sure enough there was the girl smiling at me. I looked around and saw that the island was something I didn’t know of. She put her hand through the glass and I picked up the book next to me and threw it at the window.

I watched it shattered and mom was at the door. I looked at her as she came to my side. What is going on with me? She pulled me into her lap as I cried out of fear now. Who was that girl?

“Max is there something you’re not telling me?”Mom asked in a calming voice.

“I’m hearing voices in my head,”I said looking at her,”It was a child’s at first. Now it is the same age as mine. Mom what is going on with me?”

“I wish I knew sweetheart,”She said standing up,”I really wish I knew.”

I looked at the door to see Linus looking at me. All that girl wanted to do was meet him. But I sent her away I think. But where is that? I stood up and got my stuff ready. He looked at me as I turned to my mother. She smiled at me and nodded her head to me. Okay this should be fun.

I stood next to Linus as he was ready to go. I looked at mom as her eyes went black and the room started to reach out at us. I closed my eyes as I was wrapped up in a blanket of shadows. Everything was swirling around me. I kept my eyes closed as the world I knew went away from me.

When I hit the ground I opened them up and saw the island. Great now I have to go through this. I looked around and I didn’t see Linus anywhere. Oh no I forgot that we would be separated if not holding hands. I was on one side of the Island where people like me go while he was on the demon side.

“I’m an Idiot,”I said shouldering my bag.

I began to walk to the west since I knew that I was on the east side. I looked around me as I wanted to scream my head off. I knew there was eyez on me as I walked with pride in each step.

“Where you goin?”I heard a familiar voice ask.

“To find my friend,”I said not stopping,”He’s a demon name Linus.”

“Linus is here,”The voice said,”Son of King Mason Night. Death.”

“Yep that one,”I said back to him,”Plus his dad is not a king.”

“Here he is,”The voice said turning me here,”When he came here he took over everyone. No one was safe unless they stayed where their part of the island was. If your friend is his son then I wouldn’t go looking for him.”

“Why not,”I sassed.

“For King Mason wants revenge on his son and the girl that changed the boy,”It said.

“Do I know you?”I questioned looking at the guy.

He was taller than me and by a lot. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He looked very familiar to me. He just looked at me as if saying ‘what do you think’. I looked at him and he realized that I didn’t.

“Yes you do Max,”He said looking at me,”I was there when you first busted up a fight between my group and a human. You sent us here with help of your dad. The name is Adam Pate.”

I nodded and began to walk again. He caught up with me as I tried to lose him. But he kept following me. Leave me alone! I weaved in and out of the trees as he disappeared from behind me. I looked forward and saw a cliff. I tried to slow down my pace but slide off and was hanging by a root that I caught.

“Are you alright?”Adam asked looking down at me.

“Yeah,”I said trying to climb back up it.

“You need help,”He said coming to help me.

“No I don’t,”I said slipping down a little bit,”I got this. Now just leave me alone.”

“No you need help getting back up here,”He said as others came and looked at me,”let us help you Max.”

“I don’t need it,”I growled at them as I got my grip back,”I can do this by myself.”

I looked at the top and focused on for my wings to come out. But nothing had happened. What? I looked at the root as it was shrinking on me. No, no, no. I looked up as I lost my grip and about five pair of hands grabbed my hands. They all pulled me up at once. I looked around as everyone there was asking me if I was alright.

“I’m fine,”I said looking at Adam,”Why couldn’t I fly back up here?”

“The island you send us to is enchanted that when we are in the certain sections we can’t use powers,”he said patting my back,”You are in one of those. That’s why I left and went to get help. But if you want to help Linus out you have to find a certain person.”

“Let me guess Nathan,”I said as he looked at me.

“Yes how did you know that?”

“Let’s just say that I think the world hates me.”

“It has those days to us.”

“Where is he?”

“Five miles north from here.”

“Thanks.”

“Welcome.”

I began my way up there thinking of everything I could be doing right now. I could be training with my dad at the academy. I could be goofing off with Linus at the nearby park. But no I have to find the one person who was so desperate to save me that he had to give me to the other side. Isn’t this just great.

 

~John~

 

I can’t believe they left the school without telling me. More importantly while Jason was talking to me in person. I looked at him as he been sitting in my office the whole night now. He won’t even tell me where they had gone.

“Jason at least give me something to work on to find them,”I said again as he looked at his watch.

“They went to her mother’s,”he said leaving.

What! I ran to my car and jumped in. I can’t believe they went there. Why did they go there in the first place? I drove all the way there going faster than the human eye can see. I was at Dallas in under three seconds. As I went there I ran straight for her room. I looked at the window shattered on the ground. Note to self get shatter proof glass for Max’s room.

“Elizabeth!”I yelled as she walked in the room.

“You just missed them,”She said looking at me,”But why did you give them an order to go to the Dark Island is beyond me.”

“They went where?”I asked as she looked at me.

“The Dark Island,”She said looking at me,”Max ran in here yesterday saying that you told them that they had to go get Nathan for something big. You didn’t did you?”

“When she gets back She is grounded for the rest of her life,”I yelled.

“She’s going to get him for they need him,”Jason said in the doorway.

“How did you…”I started.

“First you need a better system to keep students in,”He said walking to me,”I also got into the car before you sped away.”

“Why do they need Nathan,”Me and Elizabeth asked together.

“To get the others out of course,”He said,”She isn’t strong enough to break the rest. For it takes darkness and only her and Nathan can do it.”

“Why them two?”Elizabeth asked for me.

“For he was there when she found us,”He said looking at the window,”He and her did the same thing. What happen to the window?”

 

~Linus~

 

I hate this island! When I landed I was right at the feet of my father. I looked around for Max but she was nowhere to be found. I laughed as I saw my brother there as well. Great she is over on the angels side while I’m on demon kill land.

“Hey,”I said trying to act like it was old times.

“I was hoping one day you would have to come here for Nathan or someone else,”Dad said coming at me,”Oh so that you know there are no powers here. Unless you move to someone else territory.”

“My king I just got news of a girl,”Someone said,”Max Walker is on the other side of the island looking for Linus.”

“Well look at that,”He said then turned to my brother,”Get her and finish the job.”

“Will do my king,”He said running off.

“King?”I said as he looked at me.

“When you sent me here I took over,”he said coming at me.

I don’t think so. I said running under him and to the other side of the island. Gotta get out of here and fast. I looked at a bike and jumped over it. I grabbed a match and lite it. I threw it at the bike and BOOM no more bike and they can’t get to me. I laughed but hit something hard.

I stumble back and saw big Mike. Okay is my whole family here or something. I smiled at my cousin as he laughed at me. As he went to grab me I went under his legs. That’s what you get when you are as tall as a mountain Mike. I reached a cliff and didn’t stop at that. I jumped sliding down the side as everyone else stopped right there.

“Have fun at the pits,”Dad yelled as I looked at where I was going.

“You got to be kidding me,”I said as I stopped right before I fell in.

I looked back up and saw that they were circling me. Okay no way back up and I don’t want to go down there. I looked up at the sky as the sun was beating down on me. Isn’t this a nice day. I rolled my eyes and walked around the edge of the pit. If I go that way maybe I can go under
