pg. 223- 262

after retrieving my book from school, i can finally blog about it.
basically, this section started off with Caine revealing that Sam and him are brothers. they both didn't know their real father. Caine didn't know his real mother. Sam knew his mother, but his mother had worked at Coates Academy, the school Caine was attending. it was suspected that she knew that Caine had a certain power and knew they two of them were related. earlier in the book when Sam had first figured out that the adults disappeared, Sam had found that when his mother disappeared, she was in the middle of writing a journal entry on the computer that read:
It happened again last night. I wish I could take this to G. But she'll think i'm crazy. I could lose my job. She'll think i'm on drugs. If i had a way to put cameras all over, i could get some proof. but i have no proof, and C's "mother" is rich and generous to CA. I'd be out the door. Even if i tell someone the whole truth, they'll just put me down as an overwrought mother.
Sooner or later, C or one of the others will do something serious. Someone will get hurt. Just like with S and T.
Maybe I'll confront C. i don't think he'll confess. would it make any difference if her knew everything?
Sam has interpreted this to be C standing for Caine and CA for Coates Academy, the rest is unknown. But with the news of Caine and Sam being Twins and their birthday being in five days, Sam is now determined not to end up like Anna and Emma.
When Astrid, little Pete, and Sam all go shopping for food, they get stopped by Drake( if i haven't told you, he doesn't have powers, he just likes violence and trouble). by this time, Quinn has betrayed Sam and has told Caine that Sam has the Power, as he calls it.
Anyway, they get stopped, Sam gets captured, brought to Caine. Astrid and Pete get captured and brought to Drake and Diana. It is here where Caine's powers are revealed. he seems to have the ability to inflict pain on people, kind of like Jane in twilight...But Caine's is a little more involved. he raises his hand, and by doing so, raises Sam's body, and then Caine makes a fist, dropping Sam hard to the ground. he can basically do this with any movement, and he does, Sam is in a great deal of pain after they get through with him and they tie his hands up so he cant burn a hole through anything.
meanwhile Astrid and Pete are in some vacant room accompanied by Drake and Diana. Diana has the power to measure how much power someone has in the form of bars. She says Caine has four bars. anyway, she tests Astrid and doesn't really get anything, and doesn't bother to test Pete because he is autistic. Drake then begins to taunt Astrid and makes her say that her brother is a retard ans slaps her cold in the face. Astrid doesn't know how this happens, but Pete can teleport people from one place to another, and in that instant, they were in her bedroom.
maybe Diana should have tested Pete? HA
