All Chapters of Rising From the Ashes: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

"You should probably get going. I'm sure the men are looking for you." I say, stepping away from him, getting myself ready for when he leaves."What do you mean? I'm not leaving." He replies."What do you mean? Of course you have to go. You're the head of the Scorpions. They need their King to keep them in order." Xavier laughs at my response, but only pulls me back to him."Have you not been listening to me? I'm not going anywhere.""But..." I begin, but he cuts me off again."There's no buts. So instead of trying to get rid of me, start going over your plan.""Won't the men get worried?" I ask."I will update them that I won't be coming back until this is finally over. I'm not in charge right now anyways. Everyone believes I'm dead. So Ryker has stepped up in my absence."I go to respond once more, however Xavier places a finger on my lips, silencing me. "The only thing that matters is your safety, and the safety

...Elena POV...I don't know what's going on, but the men have been on edge all day. Something is off, but no one will tell me anything. I know it's a low blow, but maybe I can get Jax to tell me something.I walk through the house searching for Jax. It's almost as though he knows I'm looking for him, because it's like he's vanished. There's not a single trace of here at all.We've been here for nearly two months now, and none of us have ever left. Every so often we get a delivery of necessities that we need, such as food. But none of us actually venture out into the town. Even though we're sure that no one could ever find us, we can never be too safe. The most that I'm allowed to do is venture the property, or go to the beach. Other than that, it's like we've become prisoners in our own house. Just as I'm about to give up, I see Jax heading towards the beach. I run after him, attempting to catch up to him."Jax!" I yell out, hoping he'll sto

...Lexi POV...I can feel someone shaking me, but I don't understand what's going on. Where am I? How did I get here? What's going on?Slowly everything begins to come back to me. I try to open my eyes, only to see that everything is blurry. I sit up, and try to get my vision to stop moving. I take a few slow breaths, and try opening my eyes once again. Everything before me is a bit fuzzy, but at least it's better than before. Which is when I notice a woman standing before me. She looks familiar, but I can't think of why."Are you ok hunny?" She asks.Her voice is like lightning coursing through my veins. I could never forget her voice."Mom?" I ask in a weak voice."Yes hunny, it's me." She says."Am I dead?" I ask her back, not understanding how she's in front of me right now."No. But that could change if we don't leave right now." She says sternly.Suddenly everything comes flashing back.I stand up, and acces

...Xavier POV Continued...My eyes go wide as I realize that Craig was telling the truth. The sick bastard had her family here the entire time. Not only did he make her life a living hell, but he also made everyone believe that her parents had died that night. How much more sick in the head can a person get?I quickly run over to Catherine, nodding for her to leave. She barely has any strength remaining in her, so she doesn't put up a fight. I quickly rush over to Lexi, and notice that she's trying to help someone out of the hole. I crouch down beside her, and reach down towards the arm of the man she's holding up. He looks to be nearly double the weight of Lexi. I have no idea how she's managed to keep him off the ground all this time.I grab his other arm, and help him up. He reaches the ground safely, and shifts himself towards his wife. I look back at Lexi, and she doesn't seem to realize that she's no longer holding her father anymore. I pull her into my ar

...Lexi POV...As I slowly begin to regain consciousness, I look around me to figure out where I am. My body feels constricted. Both my mind and my vision are a bit groggy. I try to focus on the things around me, however nothing looks familiar. My vision hasn't come back fully, but from what I can make out, I seem to be in a basement or something underground. There's no windows, that I can see at least. The cold stone walls around me, look as though they've never seen daylight. The air is filled wild mold and mildew, and I can hear the steady drip of water leaking somewhere in the distance. The room is silent, as I continue to gather my bearings.My vision begins to clear. I continue to look around me for any sign as to where I am. I notice a series of tv screens in front of me. However none of them are on. There's also a digital timer along the top right hand corner of one of the screens. I don't know why it's even there in the first place, as it's not even doing anyt
