Chapter Forty One: Hold up till then.

Arrow's POV

I will protect the people I love will all my will and might. In hope that I can protect them or save them because they mean the world to me.

Allac has only been apart of my life for about five years, yet I class him as one of my best friends and brother. He is part of my family and when I found out he could be missing, his phone going to voicemail and him not showing up at Ben's. I knew Colin was right. Something had happened.

Every part of me feels like this is my fault. If I hadn't asked him to come up here but I can't keep blaming myself or thinking about that. We have to save him...that is what matters most right now.

As I walk by yet another tree that looks like the last one something tore into to my left ankle taking me completely off guard losing my balance and hitting the ground all too quickly.

It always seems to be me...Anyone else think that?

"It's a trap...,"said Paul kneeling down beside me.

I look at my ankle blood already oozing out where the trap had tore into my foot and ankle.

I feel very light headed Paul looking slightly fuzzy. This strange urge tore in my stomach and I find myself throwing up onto the ground.

"Arrow," whispered Colin. I look at him and the horror on his face.

"You two go on ahead," I begin.

"Like fuck are we," said Colin looking frustrated and upset that I even suggested it.

"I can get it off. But it's going to bleed a lot more and I'm not sure of the damage it has done," Paul said looking concerned.

"Watch out!" I shout as I saw four figures fast approaching us.

"You are on private property," we hear one of them say.

"And you set traps because? Trust me you rather not start this game. We are looking for someone that is missing. Now my brother is hurt. So you best not piss me off it won't end well," said Paul getting to his feet to meet them.

"You threatning us?" One of them asks.

"What do you think?" Paul asks sarcastically.

"You have no idea what you just walked into," another one of them says.

"You think this is the first time we have dealt with people like you? No. Far from it. So what's your plan? Kill us? We don't go back from here we will be looked for and here as we told someone where we was going. So it's up to you. Give us our friend back and we walk away. We just want our friend," said Paul.

I hold in the immense pain coming from my foot and ankle. I grab onto Colin's leg feeling nausious.

"I don't feel so good," I whisper to him.

He kneeled down beside me taking my hand. "I'm so sorry. This has happened...," he says to me.

"You warned me but I came rushing in here thinking it be easy...its never easy. I'm not allowed to live a peaceful life."

"Don't say that Arrow...I know it's been tough. That you been through so much," he says slowly but cuts short as Paul starts to fight the four men in front of us.

I will not lie....this isn't going to end well for us. I hold onto Colin's hand scared he is going to get hurt and I won't be able to protect him.

Tears fall down my face as I watch in horror as Paul is beat up in front of us and harshly knocked out rather quickly.

"You two going to fight?"

Colin looks at me before shaking his head. "We do what you want," he whispered. He clearly doesn't want to but we don't have much of a choice.

Allac's POV

I feel like I've been through the worst but it probably is just the beginning.

I've been used as a science project. Needles, blood taken and experimented on.

Not your usual typical day to say the least. I don't know how long I've been here. Time is hard to keep track of when your not in the presence of a clock.

I lean against the wall feeling rather tired and hungry.

They did feed me couple of times and some water but I feel so hungry still.

The door is suddenly ruthlessly opened and I watch as Arrow and Colin are chucked in onto the floor.

"Wait what about Paul," Colin begins but the door is slammed shut.

"Shit," said Colin under his breath.

"Allac," said Arrow looking happy to see me.

"What the hell you guys doing here. How you even find me?" I ask them.

"Well it seems we pretty good at finding someone but not in the way we hoped. Your ankle," Colin begins.

"Fucking hurts," Arrow smiled putting on a brave face. His ankle and foot looks torn to shreads, skin damaged where it shouldn't be. Something you may see in a horror movie.

"Fuck how that happen?" I ask.

"Bastards had trap set up out there. Typically I found it," said Arrow looking a bit put out. Tired maybe? Angry?

"I'm sorry," I begin.

"Why are you sorry? It's my fault your here," Arrow says.

"What gave you that idea?"

"He always thinks everything is fault. Even though it isn't. This isn't our fault. It's sick people like that fault. Things like this shouldn't happen but they do and it always finds us. But that doesn't mean we can't be happy or find some peace. We will but maybe it's part of how we build as people and we can try shut something like this down. Things happen for a reason," says Colin.

"I guess but what help am I right now," Arrow whispers.

"Right let's try think of a plan. Your dad will come find us. We just got to hold up till then."
