"When will we get to go back to LA Alex?"
"Claire I'm not entirely sure. We are kind of captive now that we are on their territory. They don't see us as friends yet." He said to her as they were tired up.

"Ní éí nahjį'kwiniléeh?" Alex asked

They laugh

"I guess that is a no then?" Claire asked.

They untie Claire and take her and prepare her for their tribal wedding and Alex is tied up.

"Claire whatever you do you have a choice. We need them to trust us I would say don't marry them though."

"Ok."

Alex gets a ring from Emery and they hang up.

"Hwiit'į́." One tribe member said.

"Shaʼnízííd shideezhi ałdó."

"Daatsʼí bi-kha-di bił nilį́ hahastiin góó nihi- naatʼáanii biye.ʼ"

"Tsʼídá doo bóhodooníił da!" Alex said to them and they laugh and have her ready in tribe clothes and make Claire move forward and Alex has to watch.

They make noise for the ceremony and one tribe member threatens to hurt her and it begins.

She doesn't know what they are saying so she tries to escape and frees Alex and they make a run.

"I can't believe I was nearly the wife of some random tribe member," Claire said.
"Yeah glad we are running. I see why nobody on my staff goes there often. They are territorial." Alex told his sister

They get to the airport and Claire bumps into a guy.

"Woah there!"

"Sorry! I got to find my flight."

"Well, you dumped your drink on me."

"Sorry."

"I am actually in that group. Why don't I show you to the gate?"

"Thanks but we are fine!" Alex said defensively and they walk to the gate and he protects her.

"Alex he wasn't that bad."

"Some people are deceiving so I don't believe it. Come on let's go home."

"Alright."

Alex has his phone in his pocket.

Alex gets a call from Rosalie.

"Alex it is me, Rosalie. Jürgen got in a car accident tonight!"

Alex's face froze in shock.

"What? Is he okay? I am going to be in the air now and I will speed there as soon as possible when I touch down."

"I'll give you the updates."

"Alright!"

*My best friend and brother who I bucked heads with. Will he be okay?*

Emery then gets a call from Rosalie.

"Hang tight sis! I'll fly by and get there as soon as possible!" She tells Rosalie.

"Renny, I am gonna have to head back to LA for my step-sister."

"Great I needed to go to LA anyway for stuff and I have a girlfriend down there. Why don't I drive you up?"

"That would be helpful!"

"Of course!"

"Maverick! I can't believe our high jacking didn't work. If Renny finds out we are going to be in a lot of trouble. She can't marry Alex. He owes us."

"Well seems to me she plans to. Nearly killing her wasn't the best way to go. We are going to be in lots of trouble."

"Well as long as nobody knows we will be okay."

Emery is the first one in the hospital and Rosalie stays by his side.

Jürgen is wearing an oxygen tank and is very unconscious and in a coma.

"Stay with me Jürgen!" Rosalie said to him and cries on him and kissed him.

Emery embraced her with a hug and Rosalie accepted it and cries on Emery's shoulder.

Jürgen lays there unconscious and Alex comes and looks like he was getting attacked by animals.

Emery hugged and embraced him.

"Sorry I look bad I was in Indian Territory and was captive." He tells them.

Renny comes in and meets Alex.

"Be nice to my cousin. I swear if you hurt her. You are going through me. Emery is like a sister to me."

"I promise I won't do any harm to her. Listen I just got my sister out of an arranged marriage with native Americans so I have had a day."

"Alright. Ok, now I am going to meet my girlfriend I met on a dating website."

"Good luck. Hopefully, you are not dating a grandma."

Renny glares at Alex and goes off.

Alex embraces Emery.

"Alex I am so glad you okay!" She said to him.

"Hey Em! So good to see you! I'm guessing that sassy one who is protective of you is your cousin?"

"Yep, that is Renny!"

"Em, I thought I lost you in the crash for a second. I had hope you were still alive. Are you going to stay here till after Christmas?"

"That is the plan. I'll let you know if anything changes."

"Alright. I'll do the same."

"You know I have important things to talk to Rosalie and Renny about."

"Alright! So I will see you tomorrow?"

"Yes, you will!"

Emery smiles and heads to her hotel room.

Maybe things will be better? Just maybe.
