Craig stays silent for a moment, clearly considering my offer. "I have a counter offer." He remarks."What?" I ask, impatient."Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will become my dark soldier. I will be your commander, and you will listen to me, and only me. Loyal to the dragons. You'll execute anything I ask of you. You will no longer see your family. Rather you will help the Dragons with anything we ask of you." Craig commands.I know that this is a bad idea. But I don't have another choice. If submitting to the Dragons will guarantee their safety, there really isn't any other option."I will agree to your terms, as long as you promise their safety. You can't go after Xavier or the Scorpions."Craig takes a moment to ponder the new terms."I agree to your terms." Craig replies.With that I begin to run from the building, running down the corridor, attempting to find my way out. I have a relative idea of where

...Xavier POV...Everything's dark, and I don't understand what's going on. The last thing I remember was driving to find Craig's hideout. The next thing I know, we're trapped inside of a car, that could blow up in any moment. I turn to look at Lexi, wondering how she is. Terrified that she may not be ok, I try my best to look over to her. Relief washes over me when I see that she's conscious. I could care less about what happens to me, but I just need to make sure she's ok. I begin to survey our surroundings. Something I'm sure Lexi is also doing. Nothing seems to come to mind about how to escape from here. I try to shift, however I seem to be stuck. I can't seem to move my legs. Instantly I try to wiggle my toes to make sure they're not paralyzed. I relax a little, as I feel my toes move. Now I know that I'm not seriously injured, rather am just confined to the seat by the car itself."Xa.." I hear Lexi weakly say, in an attempt to call to m

Rising From the Ashes/JD Faber
I wake up, not knowing where I am or how I got here. My body has been pushed beyond it's limits, making it difficult to fully regain consciousness. I've only felt like this a few other times, but that was back when I was a teenager. Before I was able to run the Scorpions, I had to endure survival training, calling it lightly. It was more like training to see if you could survive. I was a school that was set up with some of our alliances from across the world. Running the Scorpions is no easy task. The purpose of the school is to prepare us for anything that could ever happen. They created us to be the ultimate leaders. Leaders with zero weaknesses. So whatever happened, our legacy would continue to go on.I never discussed anything that happened at that school with anyone. The closest was one time with Lexi. But I didn't want her to know everything. Rather I just told her it was a school that taught me how to become a true leader. I didn't lie to her

...Lexi POV...I continue to speed closer and closer to the shipyards. Maxing out the top speed ages ago. I weave in and out of traffic, not letting anything get in my way. From the little bit I saw on the screen earlier, it looks like Xavier is trapped in a boat somewhere, that is sinking. Which will make finding him at least slightly easier. But from the way the boat was taking on water, it appears that I don't have much time. I need to get to him.A mild relief washes over me as I see the shipyards in the distance. I continue to scan the area, looking for any sign of where he would be. Unfortunately the closer I arrive to the area, the more normal everything looks. There doesn't seem to appear to be a boat sinking anywhere. I begin to doubt myself. Wondering if I made a mistake. "Maybe he's not even here!" I think to myself. I should've spent more time analyzing the video feed. Maybe I would've seen something that told me where he was precisely. Instead

Before he has a moment to understand what I'm talking about, I reach around into his back pocket and grab the swiss army knife I know he always carries. "Lex? What are you doing? Do you think I didn't try that already?" He asks, but I don't have time to respond.Rather I dive under the water lowering myself towards the weight holding him down. It's extremely dark, preventing me from being able to see anything. Rather I use my hands to guide myself down his leg, and using my hands to tell me what I need to know.I feel around, my hands coming in contact with the weight, and chain around his leg. I don't have much time. The water was already at my head height, which means that I will only have a few minutes before it's at Xavier's head height. A massive bonus to him being much taller than I am. Right now I will take any hail mary's I can get.In less than a minute I have a mental image of what Xavier's bindings look like. I can tell that the weight se

...Elena POV...We've been back for a couple of days now, but the stress level seems to only be increasing. Jax and the men haven't told me anything about what's been going on, so I find myself like a stranger looking in. I don't know what I should be doing, if anything. I just want to be able to help. Everyone is going around looking as though the world is about to end. Which only makes my nerves worse.Much like sympathy vomiting, I'm starting to think that my emotions must be tuned into the feelings of others. I haven't felt good since we got back. I think it's because everyone around here is so stressed out, that it's making me feel stressed.I'm not normally good with stress, which is why I became a care aid. I was originally pursing a career as a doctor. I was so excited when I finally graduated from medical school, allowing me to become an official doctor. I was one of the youngest to ever achieve such an accomplishment. I would always spend all of

"What? What happened? Is she ok?" I asked, spitting out questions faster than the officer could answer them.I knew something was wrong when the officer attempted to evade my questions."Are you with someone right now?""Yes, why?" I asked."Would they be able to take you to Memorial General Hospital?" The officer asked."Yes. But what's going on? What happened to my sister?" I asked, my blood running cold. The lighthearted environment that existed around me a few minutes had go, had no gone eerily silent. Everyone around me had gone silent, the more distraught I became."I'm sorry Mam. I think it's best if you come to the hospital." They said. I still remember the pain in their voice. I could tell that they were trying to keep something from me.I remember dropping the phone after they had said that. A few of my friends near me came running over. I fell to the ground in a heap. I could feel someone wrap their arms around me, wonderin

"Firefly?" I hear Jax call out to me.I ease myself onto the ground, leaning my back against the cool tiled wall. I don't move far from the toilet, for fear that I may become sick once more. I watch as Jax comes closer to me, grabbing a cloth and running cold water over it. He fills a nearby drinking glass with cold water, and then sits down beside me, placing the cool cloth along my forehead. He pulls me against him, running his hand along my back, and through my hair. I can't help but feel comforted by his touch and his efforts. I find myself relaxing, evidently making my stomach feel slightly better."How long has this been happening?" He asks, taking me by surprise."Just a few days. Ever since we got back really. It's probably just stress. I'm just worried about Lexi and Xavier. I feel like it's my fault that all of this happened." I confess."Shh. Nothing that's happening is your fault. We both know that Lexi and Xavier have a more uniq

...Jax POV...Without Elena knowing, I had some of the men watching over her. I just wanted to make sure she was ok. Elena was one of those people that tend to hide their emotions so well, that even she's oblivious to them. I could tell something was bothering her, but I knew she wouldn't tell me. She likes to be strong and in control. And while letting others know that you're not ok, doesn't make you weak, to her, it feels as though she's losing a part of herself. It's something I've grown used to, and can only hope that in time she will feel comfortable discussing things with me, whether they're good or bad. I want to be there to love and support her in any way I can. So if it means that I have to have men watching her when I can't, so be it. The men had informed me that she had appeared to be unwell ever since we got back. I had wondered if it could be food poisoning or even stress. However as the days went by, I could no longer turn a blind eye to what was ha

...Elena POV...I wake up feeling really groggy. I don't know where I am or how I got here. The last thing I remember is laying in Jax's lap, as he ran circles along the back of my head. Bits and pieces start to come back to me. I remember feeling as though I had to throw up. I remember sitting up, only to se stars, making me want to lie back down. I guess I sat up too quickly. But the doesn't explain why I'm here. 'And where is here exactly?' I think to myself.I turn my head in attempt to figure out where I am, when I feel something shift around me."You're awake." I hear Jax exclaim."How long have I been out?" I ask."A few hours now. Dr Lawson said that you were exhibiting signs of dehydration, so she gave you some fluids that should make you feel better." He explains.I nod my head in understanding. Suddenly my eyelids begin to grow heavy. I can feel sleep wanting to overcome me, and I feel like giving into it as well."No. Don'
