JINX'S POV

Silco had been reminding Jinx for days that Lux was okay and that he was going to find her. Jinx knew it was her fault she was arrested she had to go find out information from the one person she knew would spill.

Jinx walked into the last drop quickly and silently with a large grin on her face. She sat down and placed her face on the wooden bench.

"Chuck!" Jinx said scaring the bartender.

"Theorem uh. My names Theorem." The bartender said.

"Nice try Chuck." Jinx said as she laughed.

"What's all the hubbub?" Jinx asked.

"Uh, boss wants us to grab someone up." The bartender said.

"I know this already, get to the point." Jinx said.

"Just some girls. I- I mean I'm not grabbing girls other than those ones I guess." He said.

"Focus! I know he's after Lux but I didn't know there was more people, who else is he after? Why wasn't I invited to the party?" Jinx asked.

"Uh I don't know. They- they got into a fight with Sevika. They did a number on her." He said.

"Oh really? Which number?" Jinx asked as she glared at him.

"It's like a saying..." he said.

Jinx jumped up and hugged the bartender while patting his shoulder as she placed a paint bomb on his back.

"You're doing great Chuck!" She said as she let go of him.

"And here for your troubles." She said just as the bomb went off letting pink paint splatter all over his back. Jinx danced away out of the bar and up to Silco's office which was formally Vander's.

Jinx had sat there for an hour waiting for the one and only Sevika to come. She heard footsteps walking towards the door.

The door slammed open.

"We lost her." Sevika said.

"Lost who?" Jinx said as she turned around the chair she was sitting on. Sevika growled and took a step forward towards Jinx not noticing the trip wire along the floor, gas started to fill the room. Jinx placed a mask on her face and gave a little wave to Sevika as she fell unconscious.

Jinx tied up Sevika to the chair and waited for her to regain consciousness. Jinx span the chair a few times before slapping the girl in the face waking her up.

Jinx interlocked her hands, took a deep breath and sighed.

"I feel like you and I got off on the wrong arm." Jinx said as she pulled out the knife which was holding Sevika's arm down.

"Maybe we should try the other..." Jinx said as she dragged the knife along Sevika's chest threatening to stab her.

"No need, it's your sister. She's back. She's looking for you. It's not what you think. She's with some girl enforcer and that Lux girlfriend of yours, guess she replaced you." Sevika said with a grin.

Jinx quickly pulled Sevika towards her stabbing the knife into the wood of the chair next to her head.

"You're lying!" Jinx said.

"Why bother, with them back in town it's only a matter of time before you implode. And Silco finally gets the message that you're about as good for our cause as you were for Lux and your family. Jinx!" Sevika said right into Jinx's ear.

Jinx began breathing heavy, her heart race increased as the memory's came flooding back. She was a jinx who got her whole family killed and her girlfriend arrested and taken to prison. Jinx let out a cry, and then a sneeze causing Sevika to hurdle back in the chair.

Jinx began giggling evilly.

"Ten outta ten toots. I think, I know just how to deliver that message." Jinx said in a high pitch cute voice before she knocked Sevika out again.

CAITLYN'S POV

Vi had been giving directions to a place she knew she could lay and rest for a while. Caitlyn carried Vi while Lux used her light magic to light up the path.

After Vi fell down a ditch and the other two caught up, Vi had directed them all to an abandoned house after telling the two this place wasn't for the light hearted. Caitlyn walked over to Vi to clean her wounds, Vi blocked her hand with her arm.

"I know you have your reservations about me. But this only works if we can trust each other" Caitlyn said.

"It doesn't work. It never has. You topsiders always find a way to screw us." Vi said in a soft but sharp voice.

"I suppose topside is to blame for all your misfortunes?" Lux asked.

"No. Not all of them." Vi said back at the blonde.

"We aren't monsters you know. We're people just like you." Caitlyn said.

"You don't know anything about me." Vi said as she shuttered in her spot.

"I shouldn't have left you two." Vi said.

"It's alright." Lux said.

"Despite it all, I can tell. You have a good heart." Caitlyn said.

Vi was getting worse by the minuet, she looked sickly and needed help now. Caitlyn looked over at Lux and nodded at her.

"We need to get help." Caitlyn said.

"I can heal her." Lux said.
