Lost In Time

Chapter 17

"Jack, what are you talking about? Aaron and Mara Black doesn't have children!" Natalya exclaim.

"They had me when they came here sixteen years ago." I explain. She just stare at me in shock.

"I love this!" Aaron laughs

"Aaron! Knock it off! You are NOT my father!" I scream.

"Oh, but I am. And one way or another you will join me." Aaron says smug.

"You may be my father by blood, but not by right!" I growl.

"Oh, brave words, hero!" Aaron mocks.

"You're a horrible father! When I was only nine years old you kicked me out! Then you Lied to my own mother! You let her believed that I'm dead!" I explode.

"You are the one who dishonored me! You have been massing an army against me!" Aaron fumed.

"You're holding the whole world hostage!" I scream, "you killed Natalya's parents a very long time ago!"

"I only did it because her family stole from my family!" Aaron argues.

"We have never stolen anything from the Black family! The only family that we have a rival with is the Jon family!" Natalya says indignantly.

"Natalya. That's use to be our name. We are part of the Jon family." I calmly state.

"Jack, come in. My group is ready. The attack is starting. The Alpha team is ready. We are on our way." Lila says in my ear. I don't bother to reply, I just carefully watch Natalya. I'm really worried about her she is just standing there rigged like a rock. "Natalya are you ok?" I ask gently.

She slowly turns to look at me and the look on her face, is like a punch in the gut. "How could you?" Natalya asks quietly.

"I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you, I swear." I plead. The look on Natalya's face is like I ripped her heart out and threw it away. I walk over to her and grab her hands. "Natalya, I promise you that I'm not like Aaron. He may be my father but he isn't in control of me. I'm not going to follow in his footsteps." I whisper. Natalya just shakes her head and looks at the ground.

I gently tilt her head up, and give her a soft kiss on the lips. "I see that you already are over me." A familiar voice growls. I look around to see that David had slipped in the room. David glares at me and Natalya and walks over to Aaron. He leans over and whispers in Aaron's ear.

Aaron laughs at what ever David had said and turns to us, "your pathetic little 'army' is no match for mine."

"Oh yeah? Well, let's see about that!" I retort. Behind me the doors to the room flown open and the Alpha team walks in. "Jack why didn't you start the attack yet?" Lila asks.

"Sorry that is my fault. I was just having a little chat with them." Aaron smirks.

"Right. so now that we are done talking we can start fighting?" I asks half joking.

"Why the rush? We have plenty of time to fight later. I would like to speak to Jack alone if you please, and while we chat Natalya can fill everyone in." Aaron says slyly. I roll my eyes and I look at Natalya before answering, "Fine but make it quick." I growl.

"Temper, temper." Aaron smirks. I roll my eyes as I follow him over to the throne. "I can't say that I'm surprised that you didn't tell them the truth." Aaron starts.

"Yeah, well you aren't really father of the year material." I joke. Aaron looks over my shoulder his eyebrows raised. I turn to see what he is looking at but I don't see anything out of the ordinarely. "You don't have to do this." Aaron cautions.
