Chapter 10-The End?

An hour later, we ended up outside of Seattle at a small airport. There were two private jets waiting and I froze.

Carter hung up his phone and the limo's doors opened. The guys in suits pulled us out and started dragging us in different directions. I shrugged off the guy holding me and ran up to Carter, who was in a heated argument with his father.

"Carter!" I yelled to get his attention.

He turned to look at me and I slapped him across his face. He blinked and stared at me in shock.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? Where are taking Matt and Steve? Where are you taking me?" I demanded.

Jason placed a hand on my shoulder but I slapped it away. Jason sighed, "Carter is taking you to Tampa, Florida. We think that's its best for you to lay low for awhile until this blows over. Plus, I checked Andrew's pulse and like you said, he's still alive. But highly unconscious. Whatever you did to him put him in some sort of coma-like state, and when he awakens, it won't be pretty. It's for the best."

"No its not! It's best when he's around people that he knows! Like me!"

Carter interjected, "This isn't about you, Melanie. Andrew is too dangerous and powerful for his own good. My dad has offered to help him, as well as Matt and Steve, control their powers better. We're taking them someplace far away from here. You have to trust us."

I looked over at Matt and Steve, who were standing near the entrance of one of the jets. I glanced back and forth between them, and then I sighed, defeated.

"Fine, I trust you. For now," I mumbled.

Then, I walked over to Matt and Steve and hugged them each for a long time.

Steve whispered to me, "It's gonna be okay, Mel. We're gonna get through this. Together, all of us. You'll see."

I pulled back, my eyes wet with tears, "I believe you. But what if Andrew can't be saved? What if we can't bring him back? Then, what will we do?"

Steve sighed, "I don't know. But we'll try to figure it out."

One of the suits tapped me on the shoulder and told us that we had to leave now before the police caught up to us. I kissed Matt and Steve on their cheeks and hugged them one last time.

Carter beckoned me over to him and I followed him up the steps into his jet. It was smaller than I thought, but cozy. I flopped down onto one of the leather seats near the window. Carter sat in the seat facing me, but I avoided his eyes.

"Don't say anything," I growled as the doors closed and the engine started up.

Carter sighed, and started texting on his cell phone.

I looked out the window and waved at Matt and Steve as the jet started to head toward the runway.

When we started to ascend into the night sky, that's when the waterworks started. I placed a hand on my stomach and hoped that in the end, Steve would be right.

AN: Sorry it took so long for me to update! First, I had to catch up on my schoolwork, then I had finals right afterwards. After that, my sister's birthday was coming up, and I had to get ready to move. But now everything has calmed down a bit so I can get back to writing again. The sequel WILL be up in the next couple of days, I just have to rewrite some stuff. Anyways, review AND I STILL need a title suggestion for the sequel story!
