Hey guys! Chapter 15 everyone! Hope you enjoy!

-------------

Previously on Dark Veins:

"Either poisoning her or stabbing her is what I'm thinking of."Otto said as Mevia grinned.

"Ooh me likey."Mevia commented.

Hadrian was thinking until he came up with the perfect punishment.

"I got one. We kidnap her friends and put them in our obsidian prison. Then we do both of your ideas in front of Jesse's friends!"Hadrian gave an evil laugh.

Jesse couldn't believe her ears as her face said one thing.

'Help me please!'she thought.

(No One's POV)

"I hate this. I hate it so much!"exclaimed Xara in obvious frustration.

"Where's the cookies!"Lukas randomly shouted.

Xara, Soren and James all looked at him with concern before Xara started laughing. She knew that was so Lukas when he would get awoken from slumber. Lukas glared at his mom a tiny smile forming on his face.

"Okay that was random."James commented as Soren nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, and?"Lukas questioned the archer.

James held his hands up in defense and walked over to where lava was flowing. Soren fished out a picture of his family, tracing his hand across it, and sighed heavily.

"So what are we going to do with the ancient ruins? Or did we forget about them?"Lukas suddenly asked, remembering the ruins his mom was trying to read.

Xara punched the metal bars of the cell, not looking up at all. "I don't care."she growled, still very angry at the reason why she couldn't read the ruins.

Lukas hummed. "Okay, fine. But the minute we get out of here, I'm going to rescue Jesse. Whether you join me or not. I don't care."he shot back the last three words at Xara, who rolled her eyes.

James walked over to where Lukas was sitting, staring at a picture of the raven haired girl, and sighed. Placing his bow down beside him, he looked at Lukas.

"Can I ask you something?"James asked Lukas.

Lukas nodded. "Yeah, what is it?"he said.

"How did you and the raven-haired girl in the picture meet?"he asked curious as to how the two met.

Lukas's face turned red as he quickly hid the picture of Jesse. Soren and Xara looked at each other as the two adults laughed at Lukas's reaction.

"Uh....um...well..uh..."Lukas stuttered, his face still a beet red.

"Now I'm curious. How did your daughter meet my son?"Xara asked Soren, who was standing next to her as they watched James pester Lukas for the answer.

"After the attack on Sky City, Isa told me to take Jesse and flee. So I did but when we got here, I saw my old friends; Gabriel, Ellegaard, and Magnus. They heard about Isa and me becoming parents but then they saw Jesse in my arms. I assigned Gabriel to be Jesse's guardian and the rest of them would help him if he needed it. I left to go help Isa and I don't know what happened after I left. But I do remember leaving a note for Gabriel, I wonder what happened to that note."Soren explained.

Xara was fast asleep forcing Soren to kick her shin. She then bolted awake.

"I want ice cream!"she shouted randomly.

Soren laughed. "Like mother, like son I suppose?"he said.

Xara glared at him but ended up laughing her head off as Soren tickled her.

"STOP! Bahaha STop bahahaha please!"Xara said while laughing.

Lukas and James came up to the couple. Blue eyes widening as Lukas saw Jesse's ex-father tickling his mother. James cleared his throat.

"Um are you done having fun?"he asked teasingly.

Lukas had no words for what he saw and he fumbled with the thing in his hands, dropping it by accident. It was another clue to Jesse's location that him and James had found while searching the prison.

"Uh...here you go..um"Lukas stumbled with his words as he gave Soren the clue.

After a few minutes of silence, Soren glanced up from the clue and gulped. His former daughter was being held by the worst people ever; Hadrian, Mevia, and Otto. He still couldn't believe his wife was working for monsters like them. If only Isa knew they had kidnapped their daughter and were threatening her.

"What is it?"Lukas asked clearly worried for Jesse.

Xara rolled her eyes. "Don't be such a worry-wart son, I'm sure we'll rescue her after all, she's your girlfriend!"she said.

Lukas's face was once more a beet red.

"MOM! She's not my girlfriend! We're just friends."he said, struggling to cover his red face.

Xara smirked. "Oh yes because why else would you worry? Is it because you love her?"she said, covering her mouth from laughing.

"Oh my gosh, you love her. MY SON LOVES JESSE!"Xara screamed.

"NO! Well maybe. Yes. No. Yes. No."Lukas struggled to find an answer so he went by lying, not saying exactly how he felt about Jesse.

To be honest, Lukas did indeed love Jesse but he didn't know how to tell his mother or Jesse for that matter. He thought that lying to her might solve that problem for now at least, until they rescue Jesse.

"I can't believe Lukas loves Jesse! I mean sure I saw the signs but I didn't think about it."Soren said not believing the fact that Lukas loves Jesse.

Xara on the other hand, was giggling like the fangirl she secretly was.

"LUKESSE 4EVER!"Xara shouted running around in pure joy.

Lukas groaned. "Mom. Seriously?"he shook his head, not bothering to hide the smile that was forming on his face.

Xara grinned. "Yup!"was the only word she said before she continued her pure joy dance.

Soren quickly made his way over to Lukas, forcing the blond boy to sit down. Lukas was still looking at his mother dancing around in joy.

"What happened after I left?"he asked suddenly, Lukas looked at him and sighed.

Even though he didn't know the full story, he knew bits and pieces from what Jesse told him.

"I don't know everything but I know bits and pieces. I honestly don't know what happened before Jesse met us but she was very weary of trusting us. It must have been my face that made her trust us because the minute she saw my face, she knew who I was."Lukas explained.
