You're Sebastian Lowell," I breathed out.

I felt heartbroken to know that Ash's family had been lost and he had nobody. "Who else knows?"

"Nobody," he paused. "I left the house and started a new life as Ash in the Maya House and they trained me."

He told me about his secret, and nobody else. Suddenly I felt a pinch of guilt. Did I force him into telling me? "Ash, I'm sorry if I-"

"I told you because I wanted to. It's been such a long time; it might be nice to hear my name for a change."

"Sebastian, where were your... ancestors from?"

As his name escaped my mouth, he seemed complete and the name seemed to fit him.

"Well back in Meyer, I've heard that we used to live near the north. And my specific type, just like Ellas' and the others, our families were warriors. Gifted in war and protection and all that shit."

"Language" I eyed him through my laughter.

"All that stuff" He exaggerated. "Alright now tell me what your origin in."

"My dad's family is from India but he was raised in Tasmania. I'm not exactly sure where my mum's from but she says that her roots are Australian. I grew up in Adelaide," I spoke, aware that Sebastian probably didn't have a clue what I blabbered about.

Suddenly I jerked my head up and got on my feet. "Guess what my full name is!"

"Burn... Archer?" he asked. "It's a really nice name, now that I think of it."

"Yeah well Archer is my dad's last name which I kept as my main last name," I said as I paced around. "But my real name is quite long."

"Auburn Archer Katherine Sien," I paused. "Katherine's my mum's last name and Sien is the name my parents picked to be our family name."

Sebastian jumped to his feet. "That's a pretty name; can I call you Auburn instead of Burn?"

"Definitely not! I changed my name for a reason!"

"And what reason was that?"

I laughed and answered, "Because Auburn sounds a little old-fashioned"

My clothes had dried up, so I backed away from the fire that Sebastian had made earlier.

Suddenly, I spotted a large blue spider climbing up his leg. I slowly pulled out my knife and dusted it off his leg. Then I jerked it into its flesh and some of it splashed on my hand.

He screamed and fell backwards onto the rocks.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he screamed as he clutched his leg.

His eyes slowly glared down at the spider with the knife jarred into it. "That was a blue poison spider; it kills anything it touches in 36 hrs."

"Well it's a good thing you had jeans on."

Suddenly Sebastian's eyes went cold and the blood rushed away from his face. He came closer to me, trembling, glaring at my hand.

"What have you done," he spoke, voice shaking, and his finger shaking, as he pointed to the part of my hand glowing.

I covered my mouth with my other hand and it was my turn to fall back. "What."

"You brushed that spider off with your hand, and the flesh of it, came on you," Sebastian whispered.

"Oh my god," I mouthed.

"What's going to happen to me now?"

"Well, the glowing will spread to your whole body and then you'll die," he said quietly pacing around me.

I thought about all those times when I didn't care about dying and risking myself for others. But this was different. Now that I was dying, I didn't want to.

I had always thought that if I had died, it would make up for my mistake of letting Atlantis get killed. But she wouldn't want this for me and I felt something.

I felt afraid and lonely. A sob left my mouth and I covered it in panic.

"I'm dangerous now, and people can die if they touch me, right?" I asked myself more than Sebastian. "What am I?"

"Burn, you're infected," a familiar voice came from behind me.
