Where's Theo?

Maddie

I jog into school with my heart on my sleeve towards Dallas. "Where's Theo?" I ask excitedly and bounce around. Dallas, Jaxton and some other dude look at me with a sad look? "If you don't mind me asking... who are you?" I ask the blonde dude with glasses.

Dallas sighs. "That's my best friend, Matt... and M, we have a problem" he says and I stop bouncing and push my eyebrows together in confusion. "Theo didn't come back last night after he left... I've tried everything! I tried calling him and driving around" he says, holding back his tears.

I immediately hug him. "Hey... it's gonna be okay. We're gonna find him" I smile and pull away. He looks restless. Poor Dallas... I can only imagine if I lost Asher. "Please don't cry, you and Theo mean a whole lot to me and seeing either one of you cry will make me cry..."

He holds my hand and the bell rings. "We're gonna leave you be..." Matt says with sadness before he walks off with Jaxton.

Then Dallas kisses me. We pull back and he looks at me. "I-I'm so sorry, I'm just-" he blabs but I cut him off by laughing and slamming my lips into his.

Theo

"FUCK!" I shout as the men whip me over and over again. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I snap and they laugh before dumping boiling hot water on me, making me shout even louder in pain.

How did I end up in a situation like this?

Oh I know. My team and I got involved with the Panthers and they captured me by tranquilizing me, fun.

They shoot my arm, snapping me out of my thoughts. "You're not done, Theo!" the man in black whips me one last time before throwing a bag over my head. I'm literally hanging by chains from my hands, what could I possibly do?

Wow. I hate this. So closed in. Is this how Dove feels before she has her panic attacks? Oh damn stop thinking out her, you're literally on the verge of dying! I hate it! I try to break free of these chains, but I fail.

My eyelids get heavy and I eventually fall asleep.

"WAKE UP YOI FUCKER!" a loud guy voice wakes me up and I look to see-

MY TEAM!

I realize I'm on the ground and immediately hug the first person I see, Silas.

Let me catch you up. I joined this team a long time ago when I was being beat by these street fighters. This team called the Red Hooders swooped in and saved my ass. It's not really a gang, only cooler!

It's tiny team that's been going on for years which consists of Kai, Austin - Kai's best friend, Silas, Tyler - Silas's best friend and I. Kai and Silas Archer are the worlds most dangerous feared killers. Along with Kai's parents and uncles, but they passed away so Kai took the throne. Kai and Silas were both on death row, when Silas was in death row, it was because he was caught fighting the Panthers. I was five at the time so I couldn't tell you, all I remember is that it was all over.

Silas, Kai and Kai's dad all escaped prison, pretty impressive honestly. It's a long story, I just briefly went over it.

Silas, standing my height, 6'9, pats my back and sniffles. "Shit man! I thought I lost my practical son!" he pulls back. Silas and these guys basically raised me into the guy I am today. My parents or Dallas don't know so it's kind of hard to get around, but these guys work around me.
