definition of okay!!? Bleeding to death?!
If you come toward me it
leads them to you. Which leaves you, Jewel and Alex unprotected
targets
But Christophe…
You don’t get it Alias. Id
rather die then have my little brothers and my girlfriend die cause
of me. So what if they tried to cut off my wings, your still my
baby brother.
Should I tell mom and
dad?
No, I can handle this. Look
Alias, theyre going to get the three of you sometime this week but
I just wanted you all to be prepared for it, okay?
Uh huh
I got to go before the
guards wake back up cause it nighttime here, okay?
Goodnight
Night
“What happened to Christophe?” Alex asked
automatically. Alias nearly threw the phone at Alex’s head. What
is it with this year? I was just getting used to school and the
awkward love hate triangle thing and this has to happen? My brother
is bleeding from his back and I can’t help, even though he hasn’t
said it, all the people that we all care about are most likely in
very, very imminent danger. He thought. He almost forgot that
Alex was there until his Lucid and at that moment very innocent
looking eyes met with Alias’s amber and green eyes as he said,
“Were gonna die…because of me aren’t we? I
just blew it, even on our second chance didn’t I?”
Never that, never ever, not going to
happen, Alias thought. Not your fault. What you were doing
on any system of moral was the right thing to do. No matter what
epic degree of hell it seems like we’re coping with at any given
time, Alexander. It isn’t your fault . He thought. He couldn’t understand why exactly he couldn’t say any
of this out loud but it didn’t seem to matter much at all because
Alex seemed to have understood because he smiled and looked
thankful for the unsaid words. I always knew that Alex was my
little brother and looked more like a ten year old then a twelve
year old but I guess since I’m near him so much I don’t see how
young he looks till he seems so vulnerable, and I’m glad that I’m
actually helping my brother, cause usually kindness and other such
sweet things get hoisted on to Christophe’s shoulders. Alias
tried not to cringe at the thought of some random people trying to
slice through the bone that his brother wings sprouted from.
“Were going to deal with this, one way or
another, got it?” Alias said as he rubbed his shoulder blade.
“Uh huh,” Alex said timidly trying not to say
too much.
It wasn’t much help to hope that nothing
would happen because Alias knew damn well it was useless. He also
knew that his parents would find out, being part of council and
all. But he had to trust his brothers word, if he said that he
could deal, that means that they would all need to learn how to
deal to. H e didn’t know how Amethyst would do, but even if he
hated the fact, she was lethal and dangerous, it was a
given, but how was this all going to play out?
It was two days later now Saturday night,
almost 11:50 at night. He was half asleep but stuck with images of
what could be happening to his older brother. Then there was a
strangled noise and silence. Before He could flinch, look, or
attempt to fight back his could feel his body being
immobilized.
“wh- the hell?” Alias said but his speech was
becoming slurred and his vision blurry.
“Even if you try to scream, I’ll shove this
box cutter so deep in you spinal cord you’ll stop”. That was the
last thing he heard before everything went scary dark.
Midnight….was for entrance into what seemed a lot like hell.
Chapter 13:
Am I too awake to be dreaming? ‘Cause that’s
all I’m seeing
Did they just try to sedate me? She
thought. It didn’t work very well this time, what the hell is
going on anyways? I wasn’t, I shouldn’t be…I should have seen this
coming, honestly. She watched the ground blur past her eyes. So
high up that people didn’t even qualify as ant sized anymore. She
looked ahead of her sure not to move too suddenly from looking
dead.
