My Gladiator Family

Chapter 36

WARNING, SOME LANGUAGE

~1 WEEK LATER~

~B.W.W. HEADQUARTERS~

~CAPTAIN FALC'S P.O.V.~

 "Those brats haven't returned!" I told the lower bosses. "Have they run away?" one of the lower bosses asked. "I wouldn't be surprised, Jasper is one of our strongest." one of them said. "What about his sister?" one of the others said. "Winter isn't worth anything, she's just here because the only way we could get Jasper was to bring her too." I answered. "Send out the search party." I said, to confirm.

 ~JASPER'S P.O.V.~

 I saw a B.W.W. guard and I grabbed Winter's hand. We immediately ran into the nearest public building and ran to the restroom. She sobbed into my shirt and I petted her wings. "It's ok, just a few more days.." I comforted. "I'm scared..." she whispered. "It's ok, we're ok.." I comforted. The guard passed the building and we stepped outside. We turned a corner, looking the other direction, and walked into a guard...

 "RUN!" I shouted to Winter. She ran the other direction, screaming for help. The guard grabbed my wings and kept me close. Another guard came running and grabbed Winter's wings. "You little brats thought you could get away!" they laughed. Winter sobbed and the guard tightened his grip on her wings. "Don't hurt her..." I tried to say as my voice broke. They flew us off to the headquarters.

~ELLEN'S P.O.V.~

 "School starts tomorrow, and they haven't answered.." I told Sam. He was pacing back and forth. "Ask them again." Sam demanded.

Are you guys ok? I asked Jasper and Winter.

 "No answer." I told Sam, worry in my voice. "This can't be happening.." Sam whispered to himself.

~JASPER'S P.O.V.~

 We got to the headquarters and got tied up in our chairs for our murder. I was facing Winter. They were going to force us to watch each other's feathers be plucked off one by one. Captain Falc walked in.

 "It's Captain Fuc-" "That never gets old, Jasper." he cut me off. Winter kept her head down like I told her to. "I want to talk to you, Jasper." he began. "I don't want to talk to you." I sassed. "Look, sass ass, I don't like you, but you're worth something. As for your sister... Not worth a dam-" "She's worth more than you." I cut him off. "Sass ass.." he muttered under his breath. A guy came behind my sister and covered her face with a bag. They plucked off a single feather and she screamed in agony. "STOP!!" I yelled. The captain raised his hand to signal the other one to stop. He backed up a little and my sister breathed heavily. I looked up to the ugly thing. The scar on his face that I gave to him when I was seven years old was still there. I remember it well. A guard tried to hit me with an electrified whip and I ripped it out his hands and hit the captain.

 There was a silence for a minute. "Continue." the captain said. The guard plucked another feather off my sister and she screamed as loud as ever. "STOP!!!" I demanded. He plucked another feather off her and she tried to scream my name, but it was muffled by the bag. "STOP!!!" I demanded again. They plucked off another feather and she screamed in pain again. "STOP OR I WON'T FIGHT FOR YOU!!" I screamed. The captain's eyes widened and he signaled him to stop, and he backed away from my sister. "You're bluffing." he said. "I WON'T FIGHT IF YOU PLUCK ONE MORE FEATHER OFF HER!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Guard, down." he said. The guard left the pitch black room. "You said I'm worth something. I'll be worth shit if you hurt my sister one more time." I said seriously. He rolled his eyes. "But, if you let her go, I swear on my own wings, that I'll fight my best." I promised. He raise a brow. He stayed quiet for a few minutes. "Ok kid, you win. But if you're lying, I'll kill not only you, I'll kill your precious sister, and everyone you care for in Hybridian." he said. "You're an honest one captain, so I trust you're not lying, but I also know you're not lying, or else it won't be just another scar on your ugly face I'll give ya." I said firmly. "Guards, send 'em to their rooms." he said, I detected a little worry in his voice. Guards untied us and grabbed our wings, and took us to our bunk beds. They threw us in our room that we shared and Winter screamed in pain as her wings hurt. "Come here, they ain't gonna hurt ya.." I promised her as I wrapped my arms around her. She sobbed into my shirt and I held on to her. I wiped my tears and we sat down in our beds. "You're strong like dad." Winter said. "Ya, I'm strong like grandpa, like dad, like Uncle Fuc-" "Jasper" she cut me off. "He's not our uncle. Uncles are family. He's not family." she reminded me. "I'm gonna murder him, Winter, I'm gonna pluck his feathers off one by one." I promised her. "I'd like to see you do that." Winter admitted.

Please, guys, are y'all ok?! We heard Ellen ask.

We looked at each other in worry.

We're fine, but we won't be returning. I told her.

I ended temporary contact with her.

~ELLEN'S P.O.V.~

"Oh my gord.." I whispered to myself. "What??" Sam demanded to know what happened. "They got captured, but they're alive.." I said, shakily. Sam's face immediately turned from anger to pain. He sobbed and the ten of us hugged. "They have to be ok.." I whispered to myself, in tears. "I'll stay in contact with them." I told them. Everyone wiped their tears and went to their dorm room. I laid down in bed, unable to go to sleep. Instead of going to his bed, Sam came and laid next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and wiped my tears. "We have school tomorrow.." he reminded me. I nodded and buried my head in his shirt. He pulled me closer and kissed the top of my head. We fell asleep.
