All Chapters of Rising From the Ashes: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

...Elena POV...Ever since I left the medical room, I've been uneasy. My mind is in complete turmoil. I feel happy and elated about the news, while on the other hand I'm absolutely terrified. I know this baby is a blessing, but I'm terrified of what this means for my relationship with Jax. What happens if we don't get along? We've only been in a relationship for a few months, that's barely enough time to have conversations about the future.Sure I love spending time with him, and I know he makes me happy. However I can't seem to wait for the last shoe to drop. It may just be my own insecurities, but something is telling me that I need to keep my guard up. As if at anytime my happiness will be over. I've never as serious about a relationship as I am with Jax. However, part of me wonders if this feeling is to be short lived. I'm continue to battle myself, in attempt to figure out the truth. I know I should wait to make any decisions until I've had a chance t

Instantly, I drop back down to a sitting position in the couch. Finding it difficult to stay standing. I run my hand along my forehead, as I sink further into the couch."What do you mean they're gone? Who's gone?" Blake asks."Xavier, Lexi, and her parents have gone missing. They were last seen heading back towards the highway, but their car disappeared somehow." Noah explains."What do you mean disappeared? How could a car just disappear?" Blake questions.Before Noah has a chance to explain, his phone begins to ring once more. Noah pulls it from his pocket, answering it fervently, this time placing the call on speakerphone."You better have found something." Noah screams into the phone.Trent, one of Xavier's men begins to talk, answering Noah."We went back and searched the area. We managed to find some car tracks just before they managed to get to the highway. From the tire tracks, it looks like there were two cars involved."

...Jax POV...I had become increasingly restless. Ever since we had seen the explosion from the drone footage, it felt like all hope was lost. I tried to stay positive, but all signs were pointing at how it was too late. Noah had tried to reaching Ryker, however both his phone and tracker had gone offline. This only increased my nerves. We locked the compound down right away. We had no idea what was going on, but I knew whatever was happening, couldn't be good. I was pacing the office for what like felt like the millionth time, when Blake's phone rang. I stopped in my tracks, and all eyes were on Blake. We needed some good news, any news. We just couldn't handle anymore bad news. Blake seemed to stay quiet, not responding other than a phew hmm's and mhmm's here and there, signalling to the caller that he was still on the line, but without letting slip any details of who he was talking to or what the call was pertaining to.I don't

...Lexi POV...The flames were so high. The heat intense. It was next to impossible to breathe, but I couldn't stop. There's a chance I could be lost, but I needed to try my best."MOM!" I scream out, coughing as the smoke enters my lungs."MOM!" I scream out once more, in hopes of finding anything that could lead to her.I hear a faint knocking coming from the right. I run as fast as I can, jumping over flames, keeping myself small.I find a large standing metal filing cabinet, leaning against the wall. There's a giant pillar on top of it. But I can see the faint tremor from underneath. Indicating that she must be in there.I rip my jacket off me, and wrap it around the beam, preventing my hands from going up in flames. Using all of my strength, I push the beam off the cabinet.Debris begins to rain down from the ceiling as the be a, crashes to the floor. I cover my head, praying that nothing large falls. I run over to the cabinet, a

...Lexi POV...I was on edge. I'm normally so composed. But I wasn't sure what this would mean. Craig made it clear that I couldn't get help from anyone. So what will he do now that Xavier helped me? He hadn't blown me up, so that's a good thing. Right?I could feel myself shaking slightly as I gained time from stealing Xavier's Huayra. While I didn't intend on using it. I knew I needed a way to make up for all the time I had lost while being unconscious. Xavier has and will always be my saving grace. He's been there for me more times than I can count. He's saved me so many times, however going forward, I can't rely that he will always be there to save me. If Craig is successful, I may never get to see Xavier again. I had little time left, but I needed a way to send out a message. Which is when I saw it. Xavier's phone.Suddenly everything started looking better. Plans were forming in my mind. I now had not one but two wild cards added to the mix. I
