Life Has To Go On (On Hold)

Chapter Fourteen: The Plan

"What are you doing here?" I yelled gripping onto Mason's arm.

"Well, well, well. Hello to you to my dear Autumn," Lucas responded.

I stomped down the stairs and stood right in front of him. "What do you want?" I seethed.

"Why, I came to take you to my kingdom of course! I'm pretty sure dear mother here, has told you," He said raising an eyebrow to Jasmine. She nodded at him and looked down.

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" I said.

Lucas reached out and gripped onto my arm and brought me close to him. I squirmed to get out of his grasp, but he was to strong.

"You will come with me," He whispered. "I'll be back soon, and if you dare try to run away. I'll just kill your family and keep you with me."

He laughed and then left, slamming the front door behind him. My arm had red marks on it. Tears welled up in my eyes.

I fell to the floor and buried my head in my hands. I cried. What am I going to do? I can't let Lucas kill my family! But I don't want to go with him either...

I have to do what's right for everyone and that is, going with him.

I felt someone pat me on the back and then slip their arms under my knees and back. I got lifted up, and found myself hugging a grey shirt.

Jacob said, "I'll take her to her room. Let her rest."

He walked up the stairs and walked to my room. He somehow managed to open the door and close it behind him.

Jacob carefully laid my down on the bed and sat down next to me. He pushed at piece of hair out of my face and said, "Don't worry. I have a plan."

"What?" I asked, my voice hoarse.

"It's going to be okay. Just rest and let me figure this out," He whispered. He was about to get up, but I grabbed his hand.

"Please stay," I pleaded.

Jacob saw my arm, and grimaced. He looked angry, but calmed down and have me a small smile. "Okay."

He didn't exactly lay down next to me, but just leaned on the headboard. I scooted closer to him, and wrapped my arms around his torso.

Of course he stiffened, but relaxed and put an arm around my shoulders. I buried my head in his chest, and slowly began to fall asleep.

-Jacob's POV-

She fell asleep in my arms, again. But I didn't mind. I slowly got up and pulled the covers over her.

I walked out of the room and walked downstairs, where everyone was talking about, Lucas.

I hate him, so much. After all he did to Autumn I can't stand him. "Hey, she fell asleep," I said.

Summer sighed, "Good. So much is on her mind right now. She just needs some rest."

I nodded and said, "Listen, I might have a plan to solve all this."

Mason snapped his head towards me. "What do you mean?"

"I think you might want to sit down. Autumn knows about this, so I might as well tell you," I said sitting down on the chair.

They all sat down. "I guess I can start by saying that I know Hope and Ben were assassins," I began. Mason tensed up.

"Don't worry. My parents were too. My mom, Katelyn was sent to kill my father, Leo. They ended up running away together and then they had me and soon my baby sister Alice."
