•John's POV•

"John, there's something I need to tell you." Jacob spoke through the phone.

"Tell me." I replied, wanting to hear what my older brother had to say.

"... I just got a call from Wesley. Brandon couldn't find Rory or Jason this morning. Brandon and Wesley both have searched all over your ranch and found nothing. Zilch. Nada."

"WHAT?!" I shouted in utter disbelief. "No... That little shit... I knew I shouldn't have trusted that sick son of a bitch, Jason. FUCK!"

"I'm sure she's fine, John." Jacob tried to reassure me, which wasn't working. "You need to calm down."

"I'm sure she's fine, John. You need to calm down." I mocked my older brother. "How can I be calm when I don't know where my girl is?! With that prick?! Get your best Chosen, your best Judges. Do anything and everything it takes to FUCKING FIND HER! FIND RORY!"

"John. You're the baby brother and you don't tell me what to goddamn do." Jacob growled.

"Jacob, I need you right now, to find Jason for me so I can kill him after I torture him and force him to atone. And I need you to find Rory and bring her to me, safe and sound. Or I will get out of this damn hospital bed by my fucking self and do all of this on my own." I scowled, gripping the telephone tighter. "Do not test me, brother."

"You are NOT leaving that room until I say so, John." The oldest Seed brother snapped. "You are STILL IN THE PROCESS OF HEALING UP," Jacob's voice became louder with each word. "AND YOU ARE GONNA STAY IN THAT FUCKING ROOM! I WILL HANDCUFF YOU TO THAT GODDAMN BED IF I HAVE TO!"

"Only if you send out a search party for her and that bastard, Jason. And, God, can you lower your voice? You're making my ears bleed." I complained, cringing at how loud his gruff voice was.

"Whatever, John."

"Is that a yes?"

"...Sure." He hung up without another word.

What a grouch; I guess that's what war and old age does to a man. He better find Jason and my girl...

•Third-Person POV•

Rory woke up, tied to a bed and with duct tape on her mouth. Her eyes and head felt so heavy as she scanned her surroundings. She was in a small bedroom, nothing special on a queen sized bed. Tears began to form in her eyes, burning and threatening to fall down her cheeks.

'Fucking Jason... That monster...' She thought as she tugged at the rope in a feeble attempt to escape. 

A multitude of things crossed her mind. Her father. Her mom. Her unborn baby sister. Corey. Jason. The resistance. John.

John...

Rory felt as if everything that's happened was her fault. She started crying thinking about her injured lover in that hospital bed. Tears cascaded down her face in anguish. Her heart shattered as images of the Baptist flooded her mind.

Little did she know that her kidnapper, trudged up the stairs, making his way to the room she was in. Footsteps could be heard coming near.

Rory's stomach dropped as she came to the conclusion that those footsteps were most likely Jason's. The young girl began panicking as she pulled as hard as she could against the rope, bounding her to the bed. Her heart started pounding harder and faster in her chest, terrified of what was going to happen next. Rory knew it wasn't going to be good at all...

Those footsteps stopped as Rory stopped struggling against the ropes, trying to focus on hearing where the dreaded footsteps have gone to. A few long silent seconds passed and in an instant, the bedroom door opened...
