My name? Lance Augustus
Age? 15
Nickname? Five.

"Don't be stupid, steer out of trouble, and whatever happens, stay alive." 

I really don't know why Dad always repeat those words to me everyday. I take heed of his words. Play by his rules, never dared to go against him except if it's extremely necessary.

He's all that I need to get by. Our life was ordinary. Everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal, just an everyday routine we get used to live. But then this guy calling himself 'The Seeker' came... And he start making a mess out of my life. 

He said I have powers. - Who believe that crap?
He said I have extraordinary abilities. - Cool! I want to be Superman.
He said I was chosen. - Who? The god of newbie bullies? 
The mark of five imprinted deep into my skin proves that I am one of the TWELVE. - You sure it's not a tattoo? I firmly believe it's a tattoo. 

I never believe him. I drove him out. I did not listen. I wish I did. Maybe he could have help me. Maybe he could have save me from the trouble of falling right into their trap. I know nothing. Because of my stubbornness I lost everything. So now I'm all alone. But she stretch her hand to me. She gave me hope. She invited me to come. And I did. 

So our search began. For the remaining TEN.

They called me FIVE

"Lance, " Meira pined. She's wearing nothing except the blanket draped just above her chest.

"Please, stay for the night. Don't leave me alone. It's still twelve at midnight." She point with her slender fingers the old fashioned European clock ticking beside the shelves of books.

"What about Ava? She's with you right? You're not alone -"

"Ava is leaving." She firmly said. As if on cue, Ava appeared behind her and came down. Without looking back at me, at Meira, she disappeared out of the house.

I wasn't able to open the doorknob. So why can she... I started to go after her.

"Wait, Ava!" I followed her storm out of the front porch. Into the lawn and out of the front gates.

"Please stay..." Meira, out of nowhere, appeared beside me. Tugging my arm.

I can't believe this
