said looking at Bethany their mouths open in shock.
    Bethany started laughing “He kissed her ,” she said in-between laughing and crying.
    “We stopped to use the bathroom and refuel on our way here in Texarkana ,” I began to explain.
    “When Mom and I came out of the bathroom they had Blain cornered. I don’t know how it happened but within a matter of minutes I shoved them out and I attempted to shove Garrett and the girl down with my wind. Except the girl shielded herself from the most of the blast and only slipped a few steps back. Garrett used a food rack to propel himself over my blast to get to me…and when he did him…he kissed me ,” I said to the table more than anyone in particular. “Why did they let you go if they were with the no one else in the room?”
    “Militia ,” Ben said as if he were speaking a curse—who knows maybe he was.
    “What I do know is that he specifically asked me if we were heading south. Precisely Texas…he asked if we were heading south to Texas. He’s going to come here and when he does he will find me again.”
    I felt so confused by everything I planted my face in my hands. I didn’t want to look at anyone right now. This was all too much, the world ending, my dad alive somewhere held captive, finding out these abilities that I have along with a long blood line have marked me—physically marked me—as the leader of ‘The Seven’ in their prophecy to save the new world.
    Bethany came over drying her face, or attempting to, patting placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.
    “The girl you said she was a shield?” Bethany asked in a soft voice.
    “Garrett said as much. I’ve seen her shield but I didn’t see her other gifts if she has others.” I said into my hands.
    “Was this them?” Bethany asked standing up she walked to a bookshelf returning she handed me a family photo.
    “Yes. I would know him anywhere ,” I said a little breathlessly.
    Bethany and Ben gave each other a knowing look and then looked to my mom and I. Bethany smiled at me as did Lilly who had sat quietly throughout the whole exchange.
    Ben sat in disbelief that his children were still alive, even more so that they were both serving in the Militia.
    “We thought they were dead. We’ve been grieving for them for two months now. When others began disappearing and the Militia rose up so many died and so many disappeared. We came here right away, we told them to come here to this place of strength if anything were to ever happen ,” Ben said.
    “I don’t know what happened but he said they were heading south. Maybe they were forced into serving. Maybe the Militia told them they held you two captive, I know if anything ever happened to my mom I would do anything within my grasp to ensure her safety ,” I told Ben and Bethany, my crappy attempt at trying to make them feel better.  I guess I had decided that this wasn’t a Militia trap after all.
    Ben reached over and patted my hand. “Thank you. You have not only given us the hope we’ve been searching for, for our family, but you have given us hope that the seven will be brought together here, in this time and age to defeat the Militia and set right the many wrongs that have been done to all ,” he said as he sat back in his chair. You could almost visibly see a weight lifting off his shoulders.
    I knew I couldn’t let innocent people get hurt, so many people had already been affected and Blaine was counting on me to help him find his family. I knew that with Ben’s resources I could possibly find the answers I needed and I would get the training I wanted and desperately needed if I wanted to do something about what was going on in this world.
    If I was the leader of The Seven, the leader that was prophesied I would need to prepare and plan. It was time to get busy.
    “How do we know who the others are, I mean the other six of The Seven?” I asked Ben.
    “They will be drawn to you like a moth to flame, and they too will be
