The Mix

Spider Web

I open my heavy eye lids to a dark room with a brown stained concrete floor. I'm bound to a chair by thick metal chains. A potent foul aroma hangs amongst the stale air. I try and turn to see my surroundings but my head a little dizzy. I think I was drugged at some point. Wait where am I? How'd I get here? Why can't I think properly? Why aren't I in the arena? Wait!

"Ja-a-p-s-son!"

I can't even talk properly. I try using my powers. Nope.

"Aahh my little drugged flies awake! Do you remember me or did I hit you a little to hard on the head?"

"Phi?"

I hear Jason croak.

"Shush maggot!"

"Mr Stork?!?!"

"Yes you idiotic fly."

Mr Stork turns on the lights revealing himself. I look around making my head spin. I spot a blurred Jason who once my eyes refocused on I can see he is gravely injured.

"J-j-aso-n-n!"

His eyes a brusied and his nose is bleeding. He has bruises on his arms and worst ones on his ribs. His legs are scratched and his bottom lip spilt.

"W-w-wh-a-t-t di-id y-you d-d-do to ham!"

I finally stuttered out feeling slightly sobered up towards the end of the sentence.

"We beat him to see if you cared. He's useful put him in the van."

The left wall opens and 2 huge thugs come in and grab his chair. They take him out and shut the wall.

"Jason! Wher-ee are you tak-king him!"

Mr Stork laughed. I sat pleased I could finally talk but distorted by Jason's disappearance.

"Shush girl! Bring in the next!"

The wall reopens and 2 same muscled thugs bring in Chase bound to a chair and beaten worse than Jason.

"Chase what did they do to you!! Are you okay? How'd they get there hands on you? I'll... I'll kill them all! I'll kill you!"

My venom laced words make even me flinch but I'm so inraged. Not only did they beat Jason but also Chase. Chase isn't even conscious to answer.

"Take him he's the one. Bring back the other one. We'll kill him right in front of her that'll make sure she knows who's in charge here."

They bring Jason back in. His head hung down limply. Mr Stork strolled through the opening after whispering in one of the ape like thugs ear. The large man pulls a knive out of his pocket and calmly strolled over to Jason.

"Look out!"

The left wall explodes. Bits of wall scatter across the floor and a dust cloud impairs my vision. my old friends brust in. Anne and Nicolas step through the dust cloud. Nicolas who had been practicing picks the man up with his wind powers and hurls him across the room into yhe dense concrete wall.

"Your welcome and Anne says we have to forgive you two for lieing to us."

Anne walks over to me and unties me.

"First I didnt lie I just didn't tell you the truth but thanks I suppose. Wait where is Chase?"

She looks down and pauses from freeimg me, then finally meets my eyes.

"They drove off and we couldn't stop them. Chase is the one who contacted us he called Nick and they saw his phone. One of them held it and the other beat him. He told us to come save you... even if it ment letting him go. They beat him so hard we weren't sure if he was still alive."

"My powers are dulled by the drugs but I could sense him. Hes still alive and they'll keep him that way till they have me."

I try heal Jason. My legs shake and I feel weak but I continue. I heal his major injuries. Broken bones and a few nasty gashes.

"Sorry Jay I can't do anymore."

I whisper before stepping out into the next room. The cold night air kisses my cheeks, I shiver.

"Where are we?"

"New York."

"Wait what!?! How'd we'd get here?!?"

"They used gates Phi Mr Stork is an expert gate maker, now calm down. We'll go back to California we can get your car and sneak some weapons out of the now unguarded gate shed. I mea-"

"Okay."

I mumble rudely. Jason stops and brings me into his chest and holds me tight. He's barely conscious but still he pits me before him. I cry realising I need Chase, I love Chase and all I ever do is hurt Jay.

"I'm sorry Chase."

I whisper for no one but the silence to hear and wrap my arms around Jason's waist.
