~Anthony's POV

"What is going on over at Michael's and what was that crash?" As I was running over to Michael's, I was trying to figure out what I was walking into. Little did I know, that this event would effect both of our lives. I was about four blocks away, when I noticed smoke in the air. This was getting me really worked up, I took off on a dead sprint for Michael's place.

~Michael's POV~

After telling Octavia to hide, I left the room and tiptoed down the stairs. It was starting to get harder to breathe, the closer I got downstairs. I soon realized that my house was on fire, they must of threw maltives inside and that was what the crash sound was, but who would do something like this. I never did anything to anyone to hate me this much. Then I remembered the vision I had earlier, their were people outside my house trying to break in, could it be them that are burning down my house. Also the mysterious voice had said that there were people after Octavia. At the thought of all of this happening, I again tried to figure out who she really is, but no luck.
When I made it downstairs, I saw flames everywhere I looked. I best be on my guard down here, whoever did this may still be around. That's when I heard some voices in the kitchen area, "What if she ain't here boss?" "Firehawk why do you always have to doubt my decisions, of course that bitch is here. I won't stop searching for her till I get my revenge, don't you remember what she did to me." When I looked around the corner, I saw the biggest guy called boss, point to his face. Their were some burn marks all over his face and his eye was missing. No way my Octavia would do something like that to anyone, but I still don't know who she really is. I decided to head back upstairs to prepare Octavia and I for an escape. If these are the people I saw in my vision, then we better get away fast. On my way back up the stairs, I suddenly got lightheaded  again. "Michael you must leave town and get far away from here now!!" "I know this, what do you think I'm doing!" The mysterious voice was starting to get really frustrated, "Michael don't get angry with me, just trust me." Then it was gone, I finally got to my room and entered.

~Anthony's POV~

When I finally made it to Michael's, I noticed that his house was about to collapse, the entire place was a'flame. Then I noticed movement upstairs, "Who in their right name, would still be inside and where was the fire department," I thought? Next thing I notice is Michael and Octavia jumping out of the 2nd story window and land on the ground. "Aagh!" I heard Michael scream in agony, I ran over to his side to see what happened. "Anthony help we must get away from here now. Their are people inside, that want to hurt Octavia, grab my bag and let's go." I help Michael to his feet and lifted Octavia off the ground to carry her on my shoulders, I also notice that Michael was limping. He must've sprained his ankle from the impact. As we were walking away I heard shouts behind us, "Don't let them get away!!" We took off running or as close to a run we can get. Then I got an idea, I led us to a empty car and had everyone get inside. I used to be a part of the gang in this town and I had a thing for hot wiring cars. Once I got everyone inside the vehicle, I climbed into the front seat and tried starting the car. When I finally got the car to start, I kicked the car into first and sped off, down the street. Good thing I watched all those fast and furious movies lol. After awhile, we finally got away from those creeps and made it safely back to my house. I parked the car insed the garage and helped Michael inside the house. "Hey Anthony, thanks for the save back their, if you hadn't shown up Octavia and I wouldn't be around anymore. Their is one thing though, we can't stay in this town anymore." I was a little shocked at what he said about leaving town, but I did understand why. "Michael wherever you go, I will be by your side to back you up." Michael sat up a bit to lessen the pain in his ankle and said," That means alot to me, but we can't go together. What if those people show up again, that would meant they caught us, including Octavia and Vinyl?" I looked saddened when he said that and I tried to hold back tears, mainly because I knew he was right. "Anthony I know you don't want this to happen, but we got to do what's best for Octavia and Vinyl. Those guy's won stop looking for them." I looked Michael straight in the eyes and got serious, "I won't allow you to leave town on that injured foot, so your with me till it's better." He started to laugh at that, because he's use to my careless side. "I already planned on that, but we ain't staying here. The Mysterious voice spoke to me back at my place, saying for us to leave town," Michael said seriously. I stood up to get more ice for Michael's foot and asked, "Where should we go? We can't go far without money and transportation and I'm not getting caught with that stolen car? Michael suddenly got smart and said, "I know we're not using it we will ditch the car out in the country. When we get out in the country, we can travel by foot and camp along the way. I got all my camp supplies and I know where my dad's gun stash is out in the woods, so we can hunt for food."
When I got back from the kitchen with the bag of ice I asked, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to split up and go our separate ways?" He grabbed the ice from me and put it on his ankle and said, "Your right I did say that, but I saw how sad you got and thought up this great plan. That is if you can toughen up and survive off the land," Michael started laughing histerically. "Hey don't forget, I've had to save you from the Jocks and preppy bitches at school," I said this while laughing. Michael stopped laughing and looked behind me, I turned around and saw vinyl at my side looking up at me. Vinyl stared with her bright red eyes and said, "What happened to Michael and Octavia, why do they have burns on them?" I didn't know what to say to her, she didn't sound worried, just curious. "There house burnt down, so they decided to go on a camping trip. Do you want us to go along with them?" Vinyl thought for a moment and said, "Sure, but what about our soundboard and us making dubstep for our fans?" She made a valid point, what would everyone on the web, think if we dropped off the face of the earth? Then I remembered that my parents had a camper with solar pannels, that they said I could have for a graduation present, we could use the camper to generate electricity for our electronics. "Hey guys, I just remembered that my folks has a camper that they got me for a graduation present, we could use that while we are on our "camping trip." and Vinyl and I could still make some awesome tunes." Vinyl got really excited about this and started jumping up and down in joy.
After a few hours of packing up supplies and clothes, we drove over to my parents place. When we got their, I went inside to go talke to my parents about the camper. Once I was inside, I saw my mom in the kitchen cooking dinner and my dad in the living room watching TV. My dad was the first person to notice me, "Hows it going Anthony, it's been awhile since you been here." I grinned at that, "Yeah I know and I'm sorry for..." " Hey Anthony you doing alright?" Just like my mom always interupting me when I'm talking, I silently laughed. "It's going good, Michael and I are going on a long camping trip and I was wondering if I can have the camper now?" I was praying to whoever will listen out there, that they say yes. Mom was the first to speak, "Sure Anthony it is your graduation gift from us." Then Dad got up to speak, "Just remember son to be safe out in the woods. There are some animals out there, that don't take kindly to strangers, also idiots lurk in the woods." I laughed again, "Yeah Dad I know all the survival training, you've given me over the years." I said goodbye to my parents and went out to the car to tell Michael that I got the keys to the camper. I also gave Michael a walkie-talkie, so he can talk to me while we are separated.
After about a thirty minute drive on the road, we turned down a dirt road leading into the woods. It was another ten minute drive untill we stopped and got out of the vehicles. "Hey man where are we at," I asked him? Michael turned to look at me and said, "I told you I was going to stop by my dad's weapons stash. If he only knew that I'm taking  them, he would kill me for sure," he said sarcastically. We followed Michael a little ways down a path and then I saw a little shack in front of us. I stopped to rest a'bit, with Octavia and Vinyl at my side. "I'll let you in on a little secret of mine, this wasn't just my dad's weapons stash, it was originally my grandfather's. My grandfather used to work at Area 51, so he had this place built, just in case of an alien invasion. I decided on coming out here to pick up some supplies, we will need to defend ourselves from this mysterious group, that are after Vinyl and Octavia. Octavia and Vinyl looked up at Michael with curiousity, but soon ignored him. I didn't believe Michael about his grandfather working at Area 51, "No way your grandfather worked at Area 51." He had a straight face and said, "I'm being serious follow me." We went inside and he told us to stand in the center of the room. Michael walked towards the window and moved the curtain aside and pushed a button. All fo a sudden the floor started to move downward and Octavia, Vinyl, and I started to freak out. Normally Michael would be laughing at us, but he just stood there silently. When we stopped moving, we were inside a larger room, which had guns everywhere. Their were AK-47's, Barret 50 Calibors, M-16's and etc. "Woah man I guess you were telling the truth." I walked over to pick up a gun to check it out. Michael was already packing a dufflebag, putting ammunition, medkits, and grenades inside. "Yeah, my dad rarely comes out here, mainly because he's afraid the government would come and take him away. I guess that means take anything you think we need, also their is one thing we need to do." I asked, "What is it we need to do?" He walked over to a computer and started typing something, "We need to erase our identity." I got defensive on that statement, "Wait!!! What about our parents, what do you think they will do if we just suddenly fell off the face of the earth. What about your parents, they already have to deal with the house being demolished and you disappearing." Michael nodded, "Yeah I know, but we got to do what's best for Octavia and VInyl, they need us." 
Michael led me to a machine and had me put my hands on the table, to scan my finger prints. It then erased everything out there, that has my information on it. MIchael did the same thing and we soon left the building and went on our way.

~Somehere in a distant world~

"Sister they have escaped from the bandits and have left the town." The Princess of the night walked across the room, towards her sister. "Luna they have gotten lucky this time. I don't know what you see in these humans, but I hpe you made a good decision in trusting them with our most prized agents." The Princess of the night bowed her head and left the room and flew off into the night sky.
