Am I Wretched or Divine? ~*COMPLETED*~

Chapter 22. Let's Begin

Lourdes POV

I left the hut and stopped a minute, trying to think of which direction I should start in, when Alex and Tasha made their way over to me.

"Hey Lourdes, What are you up to? Are the guys okay?" Tasha looked at the doorway to the hut then back at me.

"Yea the guys are fine. Andy finally woke up and we have come up with an idea to save Jinxx. Want to help?"

"You know we do. What do we have to do?" I looked to my right and noticed one of the older Rebels and grabbed Alex's and Tasha's hands.

"Come with me!" I pulled them behind me as we ran up to the taller male.

"Lourdes you didn't explain!" Alex whined but I was too preoccupied with reaching the guy before he took off.

"Hey! Do you want to help us with something? We could really use your help!" The guy turned and looked at the three of us, seeming a bit nervous, he took a step back.

"I guess... What do you need?" He scratched the back of his head trying to keep his cool.

"We need to know where we can find more of you." He cocked his head to the side and looked at me like I was crazy.

"More of me? I'm sorry to disappoint but there's only one of me here." I shook my head realizing I hadn't been clear enough.

"I meant we need the rest of the older male Rebels. The Wild Ones have a plan and we need to hurry to gather all of you guys." His face lit up and I knew he understood this time.

"Oh... Why didn't you say that the first time? Let's go I know where they hang out." He turned around and started off. I ran to catch up with him.

"Sorry, I get excited sometimes and end up not making any sense." I giggled and ran a hand through my hair as I tried to keep up with his long stride.

"It's fine. My name's Jace by the way and you are... Lourdes... right?"

"Yes. How do you know my name?" I looked at him curiously and caught his slight blush.

"Some of the guys were talking about you the other day. They talk about all the girls in the compound." He bit his lip walking a little faster.

Jinxx's POV

"It's not fun now is it? The pain. The feeling of helplessness." Ana leaned up against the table that was holding all of her now bloody tools that she had picked for the torture.

"You brought it upon yourself. You had the choice to fight with us and you picked your brother. None of this is our fault." I lifted my head to look up at her and noticed the scalpel in her hand once again.

"That's where you are wrong again. I chose to protect my Rebels! You have been interfering in affairs that were never yours to begin with! We were fine until you lot showed up!" She swung her arm toward me and slashed the scalpel across my cheek, laying it wide open, the blood quickly running down my cheek and dripping onto my leg.

"You call imprisoning them protecting them?! They have gone through hell and needed to be saved!" I started messing with the rope that held my hands together, trying to keep what I was doing from Ana. She hadn't noticed or said anything yet so I hoped I was keeping her distracted enough.

"The compound was getting too full! We were running out of food! Water! Room! I had to do something to help them at least here they had food! They had shelter!"

She moved closer to me and stretched her arm behind her, ready to lash out again but suddenly the door flew open and a guard stepped in accompanied by a few Shadows.

"The master requests your presence." Ana glared at them and stood up, reaching over and placing the scalpel on the table.

"I am clearly busy. I will see him once I have fini-"

"He knew you were going to say that and also said to not forget whose debt you are in for your new life." The guard flashed a devious grin.

"Fuck... I will be back to finish you in a minute." She smirked and walked toward the guard, following them out and leaving me all alone.

I took the time I had to try to break free and escape while I still had my life. I had gotten the ropes around my wrists loosened just a little bit so I was able to move them around. I grabbed the rope in my palms and summoned the flames which quickly ate at the rope, breaking my arms free. I leaned over and did the same to the rope that bound my feet, standing up and ran to the door, throwing it open. I peeked around the door, noticing the halls were clear so I took my chance and ran.

To my surprise all of the halls were empty of Shadows and guards and I was relieved once I made it to the door that was still lying on the ground and felt the sun on my face. I made my way out into the sun and took a second to enjoy my freedom which was a mistake on my part. A growl rang out behind me and I quickly looked to find Ana standing in the doorway, pure rage burning in her eyes.

Andy's POV

"Nice job Lourdes." She smiled up at me as I held her beside me, my arm over her shoulder, as I looked at the guys she had brought.

I Looked at each one of them, taking notes of their physical appearance and found one of the guys who looked to be about my height and weight. I pointed at him and he stepped forward so I could get a closer look.

"What is your name?" He looked at me confused but stuttered his answer.

"J-Jace."

"Strange name. Are you a quick learner?" I noticed he swallowed hard but nodded and glanced down quickly at Lourdes, fear and curiosity etched on his face.

"We need to know if you can take The Prophets place. The Mystic was taken yesterday and we need to save him but as you can see everyone is too injured to fight except for The Mourner. He will show you guys what you need to do but you have to learn how to be like the ones you are taking the places of. Jace you will have to learn how to be The Prophet when it comes to this situation. You will need to learn his methods of thinking, his style of fighting, and will need to be made over so you can pass off as him. Same will go to the other two that are chosen to take The Destroyers and The Deviants places." I looked down at Lourdes who had just explained the plan flawlessly and smiled. She could make a great leader some day.

The other Rebels nodded and with that Ashley and CC looked over the group, picking out their look a likes and immediately started teaching them their ways. I followed suit and motioned for Jace to follow Lourdes and I inside the hut. I walked over to the bed I had been laying on earlier and sat down taking a rest.

"Okay so to start your makeover will be very simple since we already have some similar traits. Lourdes will be in charge of that. Do you think you will be able to handle the status of leader Jace?"

"I think so..." He sat down in one of the empty chairs that they guys had left by the bed.

"You don't sound so sure. You need to be sure with every action, every plan, idea. You need to think EVERYTHING through. Make sure it will be the best thing for the group not just yourself. You need to make sure everyone is safe."

"I'm sure I can handle it." He looked up at me sternly and so sure of himself so I figured we would give it a shot.

"Well then, Let's begin."
