I looked around frantically. Marcus was outside, calling their names, his hair flat from the rain pounding over our heads. "LILY! DOM! VIOLET!" I felt sick to my stomach. Me and Marcus didn't want to accept the one thing that was clear. The Talents had taken them. In my dream, I heard screaming and Lily, Dom and Violet screeching our names. I had thought it just a pure nightmare. Lost in my tangle of sadness, I hadn't noticed Marcus pushing his way back into our small warehouse through our stolen lichen. "They're nowhere to be since. Kat, babe, maybe it's time to-" I cut him off. "No! They are out there, we have to find them!" I screamed at him and slumped onto the hard stone floor. "Kat...they're gone. We don't how to reverse the implants." I started to sob as the thought sunk in. I felt Marcus huddling against me. "It's us against the world now." He looked into my eyes and I heard my bedraggled whisper as loud as a shriek. "We can find others."
