I Always Find My Prey

No one was there when he woke up this time. He rubbed his eyes, still groggy. Usually, Wolfgang or Riley were there with his next syringe or food. But this time, he was alone. Panic filled him and he searched the bond, trying not to feel too much. When he felt they were all alive, the other 7 parts of him, he pulled back. He couldn't trial seeing where they were. He looked around and saw a piece of paper on the nightstand. He picked it up and read it quickly.

Will, we ran out of medication. Gone to pick up more with Kala and Wolfgang. Nomi and Amanita are bringing back food. I hope you don't wake up before I'm back, but if you do, make sure you don't look at anything that'll tell you our location. Be back soon.

Love, Riley

PS. Try to shower, you are starting to smell. -Wolfgang

He sighed in relief, knowing they were at least safe. He got out of bed and stretched. It felt good to be awake again. He hated being unconscious and stuck in bed all the time, but he knew it was necessary. He wasn't sure when Riley would be back, so he decided to shower now, knowing he'd have to be put back under when they returned.

He sighed in relief as the warm water ran over him, soothing his muscles. It was hard on his body, spending all his time in bed. He was not used to it. He stood under the water for a long time, letting it wash over him.

He grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and walked around the room of the apartment, making sure to stay far away from the windows in case he saw something that would give away their location. Riley and Wolfgang had religiously closed ever blind in the apartment thankfully, which made that easier.

Though he had been up for at least a half hour, the others weren't back yet, which worried him. He knew Riley was still recovering from her episode in the mountains. But he knew Wolfgang would be able to protect her, which calmed him.

"That was very clever of you," Whispers appeared to him. "Having Kala fly to California when that was not her destination."

"Impressed?"

"I have to say, the others never really evaded me like this," he admitted. "But I will find you eventually."

"You can try," Will smirked.

"I always find my prey," Whispers promised before disappearing.

Will didn't really feel confident that they could evade him forever, but he was hopeful. They would do what they had to do, even if it meant he had to kill himself. He wasn't quite ready for that yet, not while they had this option. He knew he wasn't giving up for one reason: Riley. He hadn't had enough time with her. It was a little selfish of him, he knew, putting them all at risk like this. But at long as they were careful, he knew it would work for as long as possible. And when it didn't anymore, he would end it.

He sighed and started pacing. He needed something to do. His thoughts were weighing heavy on him. He noticed a book on the other nightstand, and figured it was something Riley must have gotten to pass the time. He picked it up and sat back onto the bed.

He opened it and gasped at what he saw. He dropped it immediately, slamming it shut. But it was too late, he had already seen the library stamp. He knew where they were, which meant that Whispers did too.

"New York," Whispers said, smirking. "Clever."

"We'll be gone before you get here," he promised the man.

"Probably, but you'll slip again," Whispers said.

The door opened and he heard Riley and Kala talking as they walked into the room. They stopped short at the look on his face. "What happened?" Riley asked, rushing to his side. Wolfgang came and stood behind Kala.

He was staring at the book, unable to speak for a second. How could he have been so stupid? He had ruined everything.

"Will?" She took his face in her hands and made him look at her.

"I saw the library stamp. He knows where we are."

Riley exchanged a look with the other two. "That settles it then."

"What?" he asked, confused.

"We can't keep running, Will," Riley said evenly. "The others and I talked while you were unconscious. We want to make a deal."

"He doesn't want anything but to kill us," Will reminded her, shaking his head.

"We don't know that," Riley said.

"No, you don't," Whispers appeared again, looking intrigued.

"Jonas said.." Will started.

But Wolfgang cut him off. "How do we know we can trust Jonas? That woman told Riley he worked for them, didn't she? He could be trying to get us to trust him so he can hand us over himself."

"By being captured himself?" Will said incredulously.

"Perhaps he fell out with them," Kala said. "And handing us in himself is his way of fixing that."

"That's an interesting theory," Whispers said.

"We've never actually talked to Whispers, have we?" Riley said quietly, her eyes locked with Will's. "We don't know what he actually wants."

"Nor will you until we meet," Whispers said.

"And you all agree with this?" Will asked.

The others appeared then. They all nodded.

Will sighed. Something felt off about this, but they were a team and they would act as one. "Okay," he said to Whispers. "We'll meet you here in New York."

"Just tell me where you are exactly and I'll come," Whispers said excitedly. Will didn't like that, just giving their location away. Something didn't feel right about this, but he would go with the group. After all, they had to stick together.

"Tell him we'll meet him at the warehouse on 39th St and 40th Ave, in Queens," Riley said, correctly interpreting what his expression meant.

"Very well," Whispers said, seeming to realize this was the only option. New York was a big place and unless they scoped every apartment in every borough, they would never find them. Even then, they might not. He knew now why Riley and Wolfgang had chosen New York. "When?"

He relayed the question.

"This Saturday," Nomi said. "8:00."

"I'll see you then, Will," Whispers disappeared.

Will sighed and rubbed his eyes. "This seems like a bad idea."

"Don't worry, we've thought this out, trust me," Riley said, her eyes beseeching.

He looked at her for a long time before he nodded. "Does this mean I don't have to be unconscious anymore at least?"

She laughed and leaned forward to kiss him.

"Don't count yourself lucky just yet," Lito smirked. "You didn't have to feel the love fest between these two last night." He pointed at Wolfgang and Kala. "Though, it was quite special."

Kala blushed and buried her face in Wolfgang's chest as the others laughed. She hadn't been embarrassed before when it was happening, but now she definitely was. She had known of course that they could feel it, but she had been too in the throes of passion to care then. Wolfgang just smirked.

"So, what's the plan?" Will asked finally. Nomi and Amanita had come back with pizza, and they all dug in.

"We're working on it," Nomi said.

"That's comforting," Will smirked.

"Well, we have most of it figured out, but we are still debating on one thing," Riley said.

"What's that?"

"Whether the three of us," Sun said, indicating herself, Capheus and Lito, "should come to New York now."

"Why would you do that?" Will asked. He hadn't thought they'd all be together since they didn't need to be there physically to be together.

"If Whispers is lying about this being peaceful negotiations, then some of us feel we should all be here to get out of it," Wolfgang explained. His voice left no doubt that he felt this way.

"But then he'd have us all," Kala argued. "It's safer for them to stay away. We don't need them here for them to be able to help us."

"None of us are safe anyway," Capheus reminded them.

"But you're safer farther away from here," Riley said.

"If we gets one of us, he'll get us all," Sun said quietly. "We should be on hand in case something goes wrong. It is our future too."

They were all quiet for a moment, thinking over her heads. This affected all of them. This was all their lives. Would it be right to keep them away from it? "If you leave now, you'll be able to get here by Saturday," Will said finally.

Sun, Lito and Capheus all disappeared then, knowing they had much to do to be able to come to New York right away. Sun's job was the easiest. She had no family to explain her absence to. She was still off from work, taking a small vacation after her prison stint. All that would be left to do would be to drop her dog off to her trainer again. Lito wasn't sure how he was going to explain this to Hernando, especially when he knew there was every chance he wouldn't be coming back. And Capheus would have to see Mr. Kabaka to make sure the drugs for his mother would continue even if he somehow met his death. They all knew what they were getting into, all 8 of them, but they all knew this was a risk they had to take to be free.

Though only seven knew the true plan, all 8 hoped they knew what they were doing.

"I don't think you should go," Wolfgang told her as they lay in bed that night. She was wrapped in his arms again, as she had been when she fell asleep last night.

She leaned up and looked at him. "I thought you said we should all here for it," she accused.

"Yes, I did say that, but he hasn't seen you, and you're smart. You could get away if this goes wrong."

"I have to be there," she said quietly.

"No, you don't," he argued.

"You know my part in the plan. I'm needed just as much as any of you," her anger was starting to rise. She knew why he was doing this, to protect her, but it was still making her mad. She could protect herself! Perhaps she could not fight like Sun, or know a computer inside out like Nomi, but she was not incompetent. And besides, she wanted to protect him just as much as he wanted to protect her.

"Someone else can do it," he shook his head.

"No, they can't. We each have our roles, Wolfgang. This is only going to work if we do it together."

He sighed, knowing she was right. But he did not want to risk her life. He knew it was selfish of him, trying to keep her out and safe. He knew he was asking her to put the others at risk. But he could not stand the thought of losing her, not when he had just found her.

"Then I'm coming with you," he said.

"You can't," she shook her head, though she wanted him desperately to. "Besides, Lito will be with me."

"Lito can take my place," he reasoned. "He'll be better with the talking, anyway. That's what he does, after all." He smirked slightly as he remembered how Lito had talked his way out of being shot in the head by Steiner. "You are not going without me."

She sighed and thought about it for a moment. Perhaps this could work. She would need someone who could fight after all. Lito wasn't a fighter really, but they agreed he could hold his own in this. Still, she wanted to be able to be next to Wolfgang during this, to know he was safe. She finally nodded. "I suppose it could work like this."

"Good," he kissed her deeply. "I will not leave you alone."

"Neither will I," she smiled and lay her head on his chest, closing her eyes. She felt better about this knowing he'd be with her. He was stroking her hair again, and she fell asleep instantly.

Lito had been pacing for the past 20 minutes. He had to do it now. He had to tell Hernando the truth. But how could he? And Dani too, how could he bring her into this as well? He knew the simplest way was to just out it, but he knew once he told his love, he would be in danger too. What was he going to do? He couldn't just disappear to New York for who knew how long, especially since he might not be coming back. They both deserved better than that from him.

He sighed, running his hands through his hair and clasping the back of his neck as he continued pacing. Okay, he just had to do it. Somehow.

Hernando walked into the room and looked at him. "Sit," he ordered, indicating the edge of the bed. Lito sat. "What is going on with you? I can hear you pacing from the other room."

Dani walked in too. "Everything okay Lito?"

He sighed, standing again. He didn't need to sit, they did. Okay, it was now or never. "Hernando, Dani, I have something to tell you."

"Okay," Hernando waited, crossing his arms and looking at his love with his eyebrows raised.

"You might want to sit," Lito said. He waited until they were sitting on the edge of the bed. "Okay, well, this isn't easy, you know? But there's something I have to tell you both."

"You're not actually gay?" Dani asked with a smirk.

"Oh no, he's definitely gay," Hernando said.

"No, that's not it, and yes I'm definitely gay," he said, shaking his head. Okay just out with it, Lito. "You see, something happened to me recently and it's hard to explain."

"Start at the beginning?" Dani suggested.

"Are you okay?" Hernando questioned.

"I'm more than okay," he said truthfully because he was. He was whole. "But I might not be for much longer."

"What is going on Lito?" Hernando asked.

"Okay, well here it is. Remember when I saw that woman shoot herself a couple weeks ago?" He waited until Hernando nodded. "Well, the reason I saw her is because she rebirthed me as a sensate."

"Rebirthed you?" Hernando asked. "What does that mean?"

"Oh my god, he joined a cult!" Dani gasped.

"No, no I didn't join a cult," he said in exasperation. This sounded crazy, he knew. How could he explain it?

"Just explain it as best as you can," Nomi was suddenly next to him. "I told Amanita I was seeing people and explained about each of them and what we went through. She understood."

He just nodded to her, knowing talking to her while she was here would just make him look crazy. "Okay, here it is," he said. "When I say she rebirthed me, I mean she made it possible for me to be connected to 7 other people. We are the sensates, that's what we're called. We can talk to each other and visit each other. We feel what each other is feeling. We are connected through emotions and thoughts."

They just stared at him for a long time before they both looked at each other for a second. "As far as movies you've done go, it's not the best plot," Dani said. "But I can see it."

"No, it's not a movie," Lito insisted. "It is my life now. Hernando, remember that day when I got so emotional in traffic? I was feeling Sun's emotions."

"You were feeling the sun's emotions?" Hernando asked. "Lito, I don't think the sun has emotions."

"No, she's a woman from Korea," he explained.

"Tell them I can kick their ass if they don't believe you," Sun appeared next to him.

He smirked slightly. "Sun is a martial artist. She can kick ass. There's 7 of them altogether and with me, we're 8. Dani, it wasn't actually me that was able to save you. It was Wolfgang, the boxman from Berlin. Fighting is what he does. See we can be each other if we need, or is it channel our skills? I don't know. But I watched that day as Wolfgang fought Joquain though it looked like me to you."

Hernando turned serious then, looking at him for a long time. "You're being serious," he said.

"I am," he said, relief filling him as he realized Hernando finally believed him.

"You actually believe this?" Dani asked, shocked.

Hernando didn't answer her. Instead he asked him, "how is this possible?"

"We don't really know," Lito said. "That woman made us and then shot herself."

"But why?"

"I don't know," he said.

"Lito, this is crazy," Hernando shook his head.

"I know, Hernando, believe me I know it is," Lito said. "I don't know how and I don't know why, but just now when I was resting, I didn't have a headache. I was in New York."

"That is so cool!" Dani jumped on board. "And there's 8 of you?"

"Yes," he felt relieved that they believed him. He knew how crazy he sounded. "Along with Sun and Wolfgang, there is Will, Riley, Kala, Capheus and Nomi."

"Why only 8?"

"We are called a cluster, there are other ones out there, but we don't know them," he said.

"What kind of name is Wolfgang?" Dani asked. "Is he hot? I feel like he would be hot."

"He is attractive," Lito asked. "Unfortunately, Dani, he is taken. We all felt how taken he was last night with Kala."

"You mean they were having sex?" She questioned. "Oh my god, you can feel their orgasms! That is so hot!"

Hernando was watching him with a strange look on his face. "You said you were okay but you might not be for much longer. What did you mean?"

He sighed. He had thought making them believe would be the hard part, but he was wrong. This would be. "There's a man hunting us. He's called Whispers. We have to stop him, because he will kill us all. I have to go to New York."

"Lito, that's crazy," Hernando shook his head. "You aren't a fighter."

"No, but Sun and Wolfgang are. We will use their skills. We will be okay," he lied. He didn't know if they would be okay. He didn't know if any of them would even make it out alive. "But I have to go. We have to do this together. Please don't ask me why. I've never met them face to face, but I know them. I am them. I must do this."

Hernando stood up and kissed him, hard. "I don't understand this completely," he said. "But I know you must do what you think is right. Just make sure you come back."

He sighed and kissed Hernando again. "Thank you."

He felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He had never lied to Hernando before, and he hated that he had had to lie to him for the past few weeks. Sure, he was an actor and lying was what he did, but not with his love. But now he knew. And Lito would not have to keep this huge secret anymore. He pushed aside the fact that he had lied about them being okay. He knew that was wrong, but he reasoned that he would tell him the truth if he made it home. Unfortunately, he knew that was a big if.

New chapter! Lito finally told Hernando the truth and the sensates are all coming together! What do you guys think? Please review and let me know!
