Karlena's POV

Dad/Joe: Karlena! (He rushes over to us) Elie. ..

Karlena: Help her dad. (He takes her and holds her in his arms)

Karlena: Come on, follow me.

Dad: Where.

Karlena: Inside the house. (I open the door.) Put her on the couch or the table. Jaylen, can you clear off the table or counter?

Jaylen: On it. (He rushes into the kitchen and clears off the table, he puts the dishes in the sink and on the side.) There you go.

Karlena: Okay, dad. Put her on the table.

Dad/Joe: (he sets her down) Okay, let's take a look at her.

Karlena: (I walk over to her and lift up her sleeves.) Holy sh*t!

Dad/Joe: (He looks at her arms, they're covered in blood) Okay, do you have a towel or something I can use?

Jaylen: I'll go look. (He rushes down the hall to the bathroom)

Karlena: She must've been tortured or something.

Dad/Joe: Let's just hope we can help her.

Jaylen: Here, I got some. (He says while rushing back into the kitchen)

Karlena: (I take one of the towels and wrap it around her left arm while my dad does the other side.) That should do it.

Dad/Joe: Okay, I'm gonna move her to the couch, so she's comfortable.

Karlena: Okay. (I look at her with worry.) Dad you should go rest on the other couch, watch her, but rest. Jaylen will be here with you.

Dad/Joe: Woah ah, woah! Where are you going?

Karlena: I'm going to look to see if Cohen has any weapons here. I'm just gonna go and look around dad.

Dad/Joe: Okay, but only if Jayden goes with you.

Karlena and Jaylen: It's Jaylen.

Dad/Joe: I'm sorry. Only if Jaylen, goes with you. I can look after Elie, but he has to stay with you.

Karlena: Okay fine. Come on Jaylen. (We start to head outside, then Jaylen grabs my arm, by the door, I look at him confused)

Jaylen: (He whispers) Hey, do you think your dad could be some kind of supernatural creature? I mean the fact that he thinks he can stay here and watch your sister by himself is pretty odd, right?

Karlena: (I grab his arm and take him outside to the back so they can't hear us) Jaylen, there are many reasons why my dad thinks that. For one, he's a dad, he has that instinct to protect his children and two, a good couple years ago he was in the navy... and he was a cop.

Jaylen: I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure out how you became... you.

Karlena: It's okay, but we can talk about that later. We have to go see if Cohen has weapons here.

Jaylen: I hate it when you do that?

Karlena: Do what?
Jaylen: Try to push your problems away, trying to solve everyone else's before yours. It's not healthy.

Karlena: I don't try to. (I walk into the shed)

Jaylen: But you do. (He follows me. He gets down and looks under the table, then gets back up)

Karlena: (I walk out to look behind the shed, while Jaylen is looking inside. I see an opened box on the ground and bend down to look at it, there are papers inside and in the grass around it. I pick up one of the papers to look at it and I feel a power come over me. Everything's black, then white flashes, Cohen in pain. White flashes again, their memories, visions. He's writing letters, saying I'm sorry, ... I'm sorry. I open my eyes, I see the green grass again. I pick up the other letters that are on the ground and put them back in the box. I go to stand up, but I feel a magnetic pull towards something. I walk towards it. Behind the shed, a door. I grab the handle and push, I walk in and look for Jaylen, but he's not in here. There's something different about the inside. It looks completely different, from the other way in, but there is no other way in. There's more room and weapons, I see a table and put the box down. There's a note on the table and it says Karlena, my name.) Huhhh. (I pick it up and open it. It reads) - Karlena, don't ask how, just know that it's in your best interest that I knew that you would find your way in here, the weapons are in here. Use as many as you need, and the closet in the back by the bathroom is filled with clothes, if you need to change. Also thank you for picking up my box. - Cohen..) How the hell did he know? (I whisper) I guess I'll ask him later. (I go to the back and look in the closet and see two pairs of black pants and two t-shirts. I take the pants and both the shirts. I also see a black duffle bag and grab it. I put the clothes in there. I go into the bathroom and look in the mirror) Damn, what a mess. (I walk out and look for the weapons, I see a few guns and grab them) Magical guns, be careful when in hands of the wrong person. Hmmm, magical huh, where are the bullets? (I turn the gun over and it says) Unlimited bullets, BE CAREFUL! Hmm, okay, cool. (I see some teleportation time bombs, so I grab what we need. I start walking towards the door and head out. I close the door and look around. I walk back to the other side and see Jaylen still looking and he sees me)

Jaylen: Hey, you found something.

Karlena: (I lift it up and show him) Come on, let's go inside. (We walk back inside)

Jaylen: You were gone for a good minute, what did you find?

Karlena: Exactly what we need. (I walk inside and see dad and elie. I walk over to them) Hey dad.

Dad/Joe: Hey. (he stands up and gives me a hug)

Karlena: (I hug him back, then let go) I got some weapons, and clothes for me and elie.

Dad/Joe: Okay, let me see these weapons.

Karlena: Dad, they're not like normal weapons, they're different. (I take out one of the guns) This,.. It has unlimited bullets. (I then take out one of the bombs) And this, it's not just any bomb, it's a teleportation time bomb, it's what we used to get here.

Dad/Joe: Okay, thank you for telling me.

Karlena: (I set the stuff down on the table, I walk down the hall and go to the room Jenny was staying in)

Jaylen: Hey, Karlena, whatcha you doing?

Karlena: (I yell to him from the room) Give me a minute. (I take the clothes out of the bag and set them aside, I get a hanger from the closet and hang it up for Elie to see. I grab what I'm going to put on and go to my room, I set it down on the bed. I walk out of the room and back to the others) Okay, do you know when Elie might wake up?

Dad/Joe: I don't, I'm sorry. I think we just need to give her time.

Karlena: Yea, well that's something we don't have right now.

Jaylen: Tell me about it.

Karlena: Dad, can you bring her into the room my friend was staying in?

Dad/Joe: Why, what for?

Karlena: Do you trust me?

Dad/Joe: Of course.

Karlena: Then come on, follow me. (My dad goes to grab Elie and brings her into the room) Hey, ... Jaylen, can you go to the room I was in and wait for me?

Jaylen: Uhhh sure, that's not creepy at all.

Karlena: Right in here dad. Set her down on the bed, let her sleep and then she'll change and do what she needs to when she's done.

Dad/Joe: Okay, umm, is there a shower here?

Karlena: You are asking the wrong person that, and I don't think Jaylen knows either, but go, explore. Find what you need and get washed up.

Dad/Joe: (He looks at me) You are growing up so much and into a wonderful person, don't ever lose that.

Karlena: Thanks dad. I love you, I'll see you later, I need to talk to Jaylen.

Dad/Joe: Love you too.

Karlena: (He walks off into the living room. I walk into my room and see Jaylen on the bed. I look at him.)

Jaylen: So are we having sex or what?

Karlena: For one... eww and two...never with you. Look, we need to talk.

Jaylen: About?

Karlena: Getting back to the others.

Jaylen: Okay, and we have a way to do that.

Karlena: Yes, with the stuff Cohen provided for me to take, which is a bit curious.

Jaylen: Very.

Karlena: Jaylen, be real for a minute. Something crazy and real is happening to us, we are put in a tough situation. We need to be careful about how we do things from now on, like who we trust.

Jaylen: Like our friend group.

Karlena: Our friend group?

Jaylen: Yea, me, you, Ryan, Jenny, Cohen, Sam, and ohh let's not forget about Piper.

Karlena: Piper. Huh...

Jaylen: You know it's crazy, she stayed behind in the beginning.

Jaylen: Yea, cause she's one of those girls who doesn't care about anyone but herself.

Karlena: Hmmm, maybe.

Jaylen: Don't be paranoid, Karlena.

Karlena: I don't want to be, but Jaylen, look at everything that has happened to us so far.

Jaylen: Please don't say everything that has happened to us, just to make a point. Look, I know I was there, you got to remember that, I know. I'm just not trying to freak out like the rest of you, cause I know it's stressful. Actually the only thing that's really on my mind is how you became you.

Karlena: Do you think I'm not stressed out about that? (I say with an upset voice. I walk to the other side of the room.)

Jaylen: (He turns around and looks at me) No, it's the fact that you are stressed out about it, but you're not trying to deal with it.

Karlena: That's because I can't.

Jaylen: Yes, you can, you just don't want to. You're so scared to figure out what you are, you're putting yourself and everyone else in danger.

Karlena: Jaylen, why the hell would I ever want to put my friends and family in danger?

Jaylen: That's the thing, you don't mean to, cause you don't even realize what you're doing. That's why I'm telling you. Look every time I try to bring up you being the tribrid, you find some excuse to not talk about it.

Karlena: No, I don't, there's just nothing to talk about. I'm some kind of creature Jaylen, that my dad and step mom don't even know about by the way.

Jaylen: Okay, then tell them.

Karlena: I don't know about you but I just got them back after they were imprisoned in some kind of nut house.

Jaylen: Okay, fine, but you gotta promise me that you'll tell them, before anymore chaos starts to happen.

Karlena: Okay, fine, but I will only tell them when they are both with each other. Not separately.

Jaylen: Why?

Karlena: My step mom might act calmly about the situation, but my dad will not.

Jaylen: How do you know that?
Karlena: He's my dad, I know him. Trust me.

Jaylen: Okay, whatever.

Karlena: (I look at the ground and sigh) Hmmm.(I take out my phone from my pocket and look at the time) It's late. We should get some sleep and make a plan tomorrow.

Jaylen: What time is it?
Karlena: 9:34

Jaylen: It's not that late, plus I'm hungry, I need food.

Karlena: It is for the days we've been having lately and I'm sorry that you're hungry. Maybe you should go look and see if Cohen has any leftovers from the last time we were here.

Jaylen: It's okay, I should be able to make it until tomorrow.

Karlena: (I walk to the bed)

Jaylen: Hey, Karlena?

Karlena: Yea (I look up at him)

Jaylen: Why did you bring us here?

Karlena: Oh,... well it was the safest place I could think of at the time.I mean we stayed here longer than the bunker and I don't know, .... I just think it's safe.

Jaylen: When you say bunker, do you mean the supernatural organization?
Karlena: I believe Kendralyn said she didn't want to call it that cause it was too plain and simple.

Jaylen: I think it's spot on.

Karlena: (I let out a small laugh) Yes, I think so too.

Jaylen: (He walks over to the door) Hey Karlena, I have another question for you?

Karlena: Yea, what's up?

Jaylen: Do you still like Ryan?

Karlena: (I look up at him) Can you keep a secret?

Jaylen: For you, yes.

Karlena: Before everything, when it was all normal, like no murderers and killings and becoming a part of the supernatural, I did. I liked him a lot. You know the teenage girl dream. I had a crush on him, but all of this, I think it's just too much, but if I said that, I'd probably be lying to myself. I feel like there's more. Like something changed.

Jaylen: Soo, you don't like him anymore?

Karlena: No, I just don't feel what I used to. Like I feel like there's a part of him that he doesn't even know about himself that could change a person.

Jaylen: I understand. ... So are you gonna take a break?

Karlena: I need to tell him how I feel first. I've been wanting to, but something always happens.

Jaylen: Okay. Just be careful when you do, you know how our humanity is fragile.

Karlena: Oh, trust me, I know. Dude, if only you knew the things people have said to me and saw the way I reacted to them. It's crazy.

Jaylen: I bet. Hey, Karlena, what time is it now?

Karlena: (I look at the time on my phone) It's 10:12. Have we seriously been talking for that long?

Jaylen: Hey, some conversations go longer than that.

Karlena: Oh, I know. Now go to your room before you make this one of those long conversations.

Jaylen: Okay, fine. Goodnight.

Karlena: Night. (He walks out of the room and closes the door. I look in the drawers trying to find a charger for my phone. I find one and grab it, then plug my phone into the wall. Then I set an alarm for 9:25. I take the clothes from off the bed and put them on a hanger. I go to lay down, but I take my shirt off and leave my tank top on before I do. I lay down and try to go to sleep.)
