The Last Seven Lives

Alek's Twin

AN: So I don't blame you guys for not commenting on that TINY chapter! To make up for it let me give you a REALLY long one if I can! I know it's hard to make Meredith's chapters and Olivia's chapters really long, but I'm gonna try my best! Disclaimer applies!

Olivia's POV:

After Henry leaves his sister's cell we go back upstairs and start planning our next move. "Olivia, he probably knows it was me. He's too smart for his own good. Alek loves Chloe and will do whatever it takes to protect her. Should we kill him?" I listen quietly to his rant until the last word. "No. We can't kill him. I think we should lay low for a while. Chloe has five lives left. We need to kill her five more times. Right now she's weak. She doesn't have a plan. She doesn't even know you killed her. I think we'll be okay for now." I watch as he nods and goes into his head for a minute. He starts smiling and I know he has an idea. "Let me fight one of your best guards. Let him beat me to a pulp and when I go back to Chloe it will seem like I really was attacked." I consider the idea, but shake my head. "That's not a good idea. You said Alek is smart. If he sees you right now his mai protectiveness will kick in and you'll be dead in less than two seconds." I see him process what I just said and nod. "What about Alek's twin? We could kidnap Alek and replace him with-" I scream and he stops talking. "Do you know what you just suggested? Henry, I refuse to let that madman out of his cell!" He blinks and rubs his chin. I guess that's a no..." I nod and sit back down. When did I even stand up?

Later that night I go down to the cells again and go to the one cell I haven't visited in forever. "Jacob, are you still alive?" I hear a grunt and chains moving. I turn my flashlight away from his chest as he comes closer. He hates it when people see it. "What do you want? I thought you left me here to die." I keep the flashlight away from his bare chest and think for a minute. "I did. Henry and I were talking about you." His face turns into an angry mask and he throws the chains against the bars. I jump back and try not to scream. "LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MY CHEST, OLIVIA! SHINE THE FLASHLIGHT ON MY CHEST!" I gulp and do what he says. His chest looks like an angry lion ripped his claws through it. I take a moment to study it before he turns away from the light. "You tried to pose as Alek to get his sister into bed with you. You knew how infatuated she was with your brother." He laughs once and sits down. "Well, it would've worked if Henry didn't walk in and attack me. We started fighting in the street. She was yelling at us to stop. Then we got captured by your hunters." I nod when he turns his head to look at me. "How long has it been since you've seen Alek?" He runs his hand through his hair. "As far as I know he doesn't even remember me. I ran away when I was very young, Olivia. I wrote to Zane and my parents and told them to never mention me to Alek." I stay silent and keep my distance. Jacob takes note of the distance between us with interest in his eyes. "I know what you think about me. You think I'm a madman." I nod and walk closer to him. "You're dangerous. I have a right to be cautious." He genuinely laughs. "You have no idea." We don't talk for a minute and I can sense Jacob's eyes on me. "I won't pose as Alek if that's why you're here. I do care about him. I want him to be safe. If you want me to pose as him then his safety must be compromised. You're going to have to kill me." I don't say another word as I nod and go upstairs. As I walk I hear Jacob grunt and the sound of his chains scraping across the floor.

AN: Okay! I've had the idea of Alek having a twin in my head for a while now. I'm not sure if he should be evil or not. I made him have a soft spot for his twin, but...Henry has a soft spot for his sister, too!
