Chapter Sixteen

Dean's POV

I stood there motionless looking at my sister's dead body lying on the ground in Tyler's arms. I couldn't take my eyes off her death pale body, as Ciara the girl that had come with Tyler made her way over.

"Tyler put her on the ground I have to stop the bleeding before she bleeds to death," she said her voice echoing around us.

He nodded and placed Kayla's motionless body completely on the ground. He looked at the first three guys that had come her "Close the gate. I don't want any Walker's coming in her, while she's in her dead trance," he said ordering the guys.

"Tyler," dad said again and Tyler looked at our father and smiled.

"Good to see you," he said and walked over towards him giving him a longer hug.

Dad patted his back "Good to see you to and I have to tell you something. I was going to tell you and your sister, but she's busy with the infection running through her body," he said.

Tyler looked at him "You know about that?" he asked him. I was totally confused here. Everyone was acting like they didn't just lose someone close to them. My sister is dead and they are acting like thing happened.

Dad chuckled "Where do you think she inherited her powers from? My side of the family," he said.

He chuckled "I didn't know that, but anyway what were you going to tell us," he asked dad.

Dad looked very comfortable at the moment "Dean, come here," he said calling me over. I walked towards him and stood on his right side. "Tyler, who is he to you?" dad asked him. Tyler looked me over trying to think what I was to him, but at first he couldn't place it. He looked me up and down, until his eye looked me in my eyes.

Tyler looked shocked "My brother," he said loud and clear that everyone looked over to us.

Dad eyed him carefully "How can you tell?" he asked him.

Tyler pointed at my eyes "His eyes are violet just like Kayla's and mine," he said "What the fucking hell? Dad, what does this mean? Why do we have a brother we didn't know about?" he yelled.

Dad sighed "He's your older brother, Tyler. I had another marriage, before I met your mother. Dean was my first born in my first marriage, but that marriage only lasted a year I had meant your mother by that time. We had a divorce and I married your mother and had you two," dad told him. Tyler eyes changed from angry to compassion and he looked at me.

A tiny smile appeared on his face "I guess I can't really hate you. You are after all my brother, besides I think Kayla already knows you're her big brother. She always knows things that nobody else does," he said.

I returned his smile "Glad to know my little brother doesn't hate me, but there's something I don't under stand. My sister is dead and you are all act like she isn't. It's confusing the hell out of me," I said looking her at her motionless body.

"Why don't we just kill her?" Jake said preparing his gun and the moment he did that Tyler, Caleb, Sam, Mark, and the kids were on him. Ciara was still tending to Kayla's wounds, but she was in alert incase something happened.

Tyler had his gun pointed at Jake "Don't you fucking dare shot her or I will kill you here and now. I wouldn't give a damn if my father is there watching. I will do it without a second though and that goes for your friend to," he yelled looking at Jake and Luke.

Luke glared "She's going to turn into one of them," he yelled.

Caleb spoke up "Shut the fuck up, damn. Just wait… guy how any minutes has it been?" he asked.

"Ten minutes," Mark said.

"Just wait forty minutes and you'll see what will happen that goes for you to Tyler's older brother," he said looking at me.

I sigh "My name is Dean," I told them.

Caleb nodded.

"I'm done," Ciara said sitting on the floor with blood on her hands and bloody gauze lying around the ground.

"Now, we wait," Sam said and sat down a couple of feet away from the gate, so did everyone else including Jake, Luke, dad and I.

Thirty-nine minutes later and there was no change in her body. I was getting worried, because she hasn't woken up and start eating us. "How much longer do we have to wait?" I asked getting anxious thinking that she might get up and start using us as food.

"Five seconds, bro," Tyler said getting up from his sitting spot. Five minutes later she woke up screaming at the top of her lungs and got up stumbling on her feet only to drop to her knees to throw up blood. "Shit," Tyler said going to her and getting the hair out of her face. I could not believe my eyes she was awake and breathing, but just throwing blood at the moment. She screamed, coughed, and threw up blood at the same time. I bet it was horrible for her. "Sky, breath, come on breath, damn it," Tyler said holding her in her arms.

I saw she was having hard time breathing, but she pushed Tyler away from her though he flew through the air and landed on his back. "I don't think she wants you near her," I told him, while he was getting up.

He looked at me fear in his eyes "That's not it, look," he said pointing in her direction. I looked at her and saw that she was in flames and things were getting out of control. I had never seen anything like this before it scared me a little.

"Tyler, you have to stop her or she'll die," I heard Ciara yell. Wait, she's going to die? No, I can not let that happen, I thought and was starting to go towards her, but a figure ran past me. Tyler ran towards her dodging things here and there, until he reached her. He pulled her into her arms and started calming her whispering things in her ear that made everything stop going crazy. I was looked at them in shock.

Kayla's POV

I had done it again. I had woken up from the pain I always get, when I get bit and started throwing up blood. But I had lost control of my powers, while I was like that though Tyler managed to calm me down before everything went to hell. Tyler held me in his arms on the ground like when I had fallen on his arms, when I had been bit. I knew Tyler wanted to tell me something, but didn't know if he should tell me or not or he though I already knew. "Tyler, what aren't you telling me?" I asked him.

He sigh "Don't you know?" he asked me kissing my head.

I sighed "If I knew I wouldn't be asking, now would I? I asked him.

He felt his body shake from him chuckle "Point taken. We have an older brother and his standing by our father," he told me. I froze. Dad was alive and I had an older brother. I pulled away from him and around me trying to find my father. I spotted him talking with Caleb and there was a guy older looking with black hair, pale skin, and the same violet eyes as Tyler and mine.

I stood up from the ground unsteadily, but still regain my balance. I walked on a slow pace towards my father, who was now looking at me with a smile and I couldn't help smiling back at him. I had though I had lost my father, but there he was looking at me with his violet eyes that Tyler and I had inherited from him. I guess we had it in our genes except for the magic.

"Kayla," he said with his arms open for me and I get into his arms holding him tightly getting his familiar scent in my lungs, the feel of him, and his body heat. He held me tightly in his arms, but soon let me go. I looked at the guy that had the same eyes as us, but I did not know him though I knew he was my brother.

I smiled at him "What's your name, bro?" I asked him.

A smile appeared on his lips "Dean," he told me.

I didn't have to introduce myself, because had this feeling that he already knew about me and Tyler. "Nice to meet you," I said and looked at my father "You should have told us, dad," I said to him.

Dad sighed "I know, but I was afraid you would hate him and me," he said.

"We would never hate you," Tyler and I said at the same time "Either of you," we said.

Dad laughed "I missed that every time you two would say the same thing at the same time," he said grinning.

I felt tears running down my cheek "And we missed you," I told him, when tiny arms wrapped around my waist. I smiled "Jasper, Jace how are you two?" I asked them hugging them against my body's wishes. The bite marks were still fresh on my skin and it hurt every time I moved, but I ignored it.

Jasper had another death grip on me "We're fine, how about you?" he asked me.

I tried to laughed, but his death grip wouldn't let me "Well, your death grip is making it hard to breathe, but other than that I'm alive and kicking," I said.

Jasper chuckled and loosen his grip "Sorry," he said.

"You could have died," Jace said looking up at me.

I chuckled "No I wouldn't, Jace, and you would know that. You have seen what I can do," I told him remembering what had happened at the mini mall. I wonder if those people are still alive, which reminds me. Why the hell there is Walker's here? I looked at my dad "Why does Colorado have Walker's? Isn't Colorado suppose to be Walker free?" I asked him.

Dad sigh, but my older brother spoke up "It was suppose to be, but people came here with their infected familiars and that's what we got there. Zombies on the loose," he said and I flinched at the word.

"We don't use the word zombies," Tyler told him.

Dean looked confused "Than what do you call them?" he asked.

Tyler and I chuckled "We call them Walker's," I said.

"Auntie Ciara came up with it," Jasper said glaring at him "And who might you be?" he asked him.

I looked at him "Jazz, he's my older brother," I told him hoping he wouldn't do anything rash.

Jasper and Jace looked at me and nodded meaning they accepted him "Ok," they said and went off towards Ciara to play.

"Kids," I said with a laugh and smile playing on my lips.

"Will you tell me what you two been up two this past seven months?" dad asked us.

Tyler and I sat on the ground they did the same. Tyler started "Well, where should I start? I couldn't fine Kayla after the call you and mom gave me. I was stuck on a bus with a bunch of selfish people that on my nerves and I wanted to strangle them. Food wasn't easy with those people. I had to sneak out to get my own food, because they wouldn't share. Selfish bastard," Tyler said "Seven months later, we were save by her group when the bus become surrounded by Walker's, meet a few people in Missouri and a week after they found us here we are," Tyler said.

Dad nodded "You had it hard, son," dad said and Dean nodded in agreement.

Tyler shook his head "Not has hard as Sky," he said making Dean and dad looked at me meaning I should start with my story.

I took a deep breath "I couldn't fine Tyler at school, when the Walker's attacked. I managed to save some students and teachers: Ciara, Caleb, Mark, Jackie, James, Coach Martin, and two other teachers. I had guided them to a housing area with fences and we stayed there for seven months. I would send three people to get things we need like food, water, and other stuff. I would sometimes go with them and would kill mercilessly the Walker's, we did that for seven months until we were attacked at the house were staying at," I said taking a deep to continue my story. "That was the first night I was bit. I was taken of guard by two Walker's ending up getting bit on my left shoulder and left arm. I could feel the infection running in my bloodstream destroying my cells and I could feel the fever taking my body making it shake violently. I died that night, but woke up an hour later with a scream and throwing up blood," I said taking another breath.

"My body was weak always is when that happens. I found Jasper on the highway hiding behind the back of the car dirty and boney the poor seemed like he didn't have anything to for days. I took him with me and gave him everything, which ended up with him attached to me making me his mother," I said "Then we meant up with Tyler's group and I made a plan, which Mark and Caleb helped me with. Then, while getting food and other things in a gas station in Georgia I was bit on my neck and right ankle. When we need more things I had sent James and another guy named Patrick, who was bit in that day I had meet his son, Jace. But in that same day I had killed my first human."

I drew in a shaky breath "Of course, during that time I figured out that could make fire appear on my hands, and than came the ice. In Missouri in a mini mall, I had killed my second human a guy named Samuel. I went to sleep and the yelling at woken me up making me loose control plus from the nightmare I had. I lost control and almost ended up killing myself and everyone there," I said remembering the disaster I had caused.

I sighed "We left the place with thirty-four people and we found motor homes to get us her, but we couldn't get them all the way since the exit we took was blocked with lots of cars. We attacked and I don't know who many of us made it here without getting killed," I told them remembering I had shot Coach Martin.

They were quiet for a very long moment, until my father pulled me into his arms and hugged me. "You were very strong," he told me tears threatening to come out, but I held them back and hugged him back.

I sigh and pulled back sitting in the same spot I was "No, I still have a lot to learn from this and how to deal with it," I told them.

"Mom," I heard Jasper say before he wrapped his arms around my neck.

I chuckled "Yes," I said.

He placed his head on my left shoulder "I'm tired," he whispered.

"Me too," Jace said sitting down next to me.

I chuckled again "Ok," I said getting up from the ground. I looked at my dad "Do you think we can get any sleep here?" I asked him.

He nodded "Yeah, get your group organized and follow me. Dean, you and the guys stay on guard," he said to my new older brother. It was weird accepting that I had an older brother without asking my father for an explanation, but I knew he would tell me soon enough. I just had to be patient. Tyler got the group together and I was sad to see that only fifteen of us made out alive. Coach Martin and the two teachers didn't make it, as well as the other thirteen other people. The ones who survived were mostly my friends: Sam, Mark, Caleb, Ciara, Jasper, Jace, Tyler, James, unfortunately Jackie, and the other six surviving adults from Tyler's group.

We followed my father towards what seem to be dorms and on our way there we saw some people doing things here and there nothing perverted just getting things done. I guess the others were asleep in their doors. We entered the dorms and my dad got the group in their dorms. There was plenty enough rooms for everyone in this one dormitory, since there were two other dorms by the school (though I think the school is being used as a dorm). It is highly possible, but I was too tired to think about that at the moment. Caleb and Sam were in one room, James and Mark in another one, Tyler and Ciara, Jackie and someone else (though I didn't care what she did, as long as she doesn't get on my last nerves). I was in more room with Jasper and Jace, but the room had two rooms so the kids can go sleep in one room and I get the other. Thank god the dorm room had a shower and its own kitchen.

The kids took their shower, brushed their teeth, and eat something before going to bed, while I just stayed awake replaying everything that had just happened today or tonight. My father was alive, I had an older brother, and we all made it here in one piece though we had lost many, but we gained so much more. Though it still had Walker's, but they could not touch us as long as the gates stay up and guarded. Those thoughts passed by my mind making me fall asleep with a tiny smile on my face.

Dean's POV

I felt extremely happy, while I watched the gate with Jake and Luke. They were very quiet after Kayla had woken up from her suppose death sleep or trance. I stood watching the front of the gate watching every moving shadow.

"She's not normal," I heard Jake said.

"Yeah, she's not human," I heard Luke say.

I glared at them "You she's my sister and I can hear you. She's normal just a little different than you and me," I told them.

Jake looked at me "She was bit and didn't turn into one of them," he said.

Luke nodded "There is nothing normal about her," he said.

I sighed "It's not that she's not human," I heard my father's voice. I looked behind me and saw him walking towards us "She can't turn into one of them, because of our ancestors," he said.

Jake looked at my father "What does your ancestors have to do with her not being human?" he asked with a touch of anger and frustration.

Dad glared "Where do think she got her abilities? It's in her blood and my family blood," he said.

I looked at him "Does that mean I have the same abilities?" I asked him worried that I did. I saw how easily she lost control and the damage it has on her body.

His shook his head "No, only women can have it, but I saw that Tyler has some of it and I don't know how or why," he said.

"I guess you can say I'm her protector from herself," I heard Tyler's voice behind me.

A smile appeared on my lips "Tyler, I thought you were asleep?" I told him.

He shooked his head "I'm too anxious to fall asleep," he said and looked at Jake and Luke gave them a menacing glared. "She's human idiots she can just like a normal person, but the infection doesn't work on her because her fights it killing her for only an hour. If you ever insult my sister again, I will give you hell you have never seen before," he threatens them and his eyes flashed an angry red color.

Dad placed a hand on his left shoulder "Tyler, stop threatening people. Kayla can take care of herself and you should know that from what you witnessed," dad told him trying to calm him down.

Tyler eyes soften and turned violet "She closed her heart and won't let anyone in only Jasper and Jace seem to open her up, but I'm afraid that if something were to happen to them she would crumble like a wilting rose. I don't want that I just wan to see her happy with us," he whispered and glared at Jake and Luke again. "And I won't idiots ruin that for her. She worked her ass off getting us here to stay safe and ended up being a massacre, but fifteen of us survived and she's happy just to see us here. She won't have to stay on guard anymore like she always was," he said still not looking away from them making them flinch from his penetrating gaze.

"I know," was all dad said.

I looked at Tyler and saw he was very tired "Why don't you go to bed, Tyler? It's not like you have to be up so late, beside she'll probably be awake when you wake up," I told him.

He snorted "I doubt it, bro. She's still weak it will be a while before she's her normal self, but knowing her she will suck it up and act like nothings wrong. It worries me when she does that, but I'll go to be like you suggested, night," he said and started waking away towards the dorms.

I chuckled "He's truly your son, dad," I said.

I heard dad chuckled "Indeed he is and so is your sister, but she's a little like her mother," he said and he went into deep thoughts for a while. "Anyway, I just came to tell you can go back. The others are coming already," he said and like that the three groups came. It consisted of Tom, Jane, and Lucas. I didn't know the first two, but Lucas was y best friend here. He had dark brown hair, hazel eyes, five-foot-five, built, confident jaw structure. I sound like I'm checking him out (gross, I don't roll that way and never will).

I nodded "Ok. Good luck guys," I said to them as I walked by and walked towards my dorm. I went up to my room, took a shower, put the timer on my clock, and lay in bed rethinking of everything that had just happened tonight. I finally got the chance I never thought I would have, since this started to meet my little brother and sister. If Lucas ever saw her I think he would fall for her, but I think she had already two guys after her. She would have trouble if she had a third person. Life can be a bitch on its own. I fell asleep with a big smile on my face.
