Deception

Chapter 4

Dad explained that tomorrow there was no way he could get the four of us out of training again no matter how weak Miles was but he assured us he was going to get Jones to agree to testing us out on a weaker bunch just because of the condition we were just in and they know how weak those locus stings can make them.
So we are under strict orders to keep playing weak so that means more bruises on top of the old semi fresh bruises.
Everyone else is still in training or whatever they want us to believe it is. Dad hung out for a bit filling us in on what to expect after bringing us beef stew, he said he made it personally.
He better watch it before they catch on that he's not the real Alexander not to mention I'm kinda surprised they didn't figure it out by the fact his scar is missing on his face.
Johnny gave it to him when we were thirteen leading to those chains Alexander installed in his beating room.
.........Johnathan & Cameron's Past.......
They were both sitting or lying infront of the tv playing on their PlayStation.
Alexander was doing some kind of research on his laptop in the kitchen.
"Boys turn that down." Alexander called out over their noise of gun shots from the game and talking to eachother loudly over the tv. After a few more attempts at telling them to turn down the volume and  them not listening to him.
Alexander rushed over to the living room and grabbed Cam by the back of his shirt as he ripped the plug to the tv out of the wall.
"I told you to turn that down!" Alexander yelled at Johnny as he was practically chocking Cam with his own shirt.
"Don't even think about it.
After I lock him in the bedroom you and I can fight this out." Alexander half smirked.
As he pulled harder on Cam's shirt.
Johnny stood there for a moment his heart racing as he shoved his hand in his pocket in defeat and felt his pocket knife.
Before Alexander could lock Cam's door Johnny attacked him cutting Alexander's face and slamming his head against the door frame knocking him out.
Johnny couldn't believe it. Did he actually kill him?!
Cam's sobs beyond the door brought him back out of his thoughts.
'This is it the day we run.' Johnny thought as he opened his door.
He grabbed their ready backpacks from the closet.
They been talking about it for a few months since the last big blow out on Christmas.
At first he didn't see Cam, he could hear him but where was he.
There wedged between the corner wall and bedframe Cam hid.
Without a word Johnny rushed over moved the bed and grabbed Cam's wrist.
He shoved his backpack into his arms they both ran out jumping over Alexander's still body.
"Did you?!" Cam gasped as Johnny kept pulling him towards the exit.
If they could just get to the stairs or elevator and outside even if he came after them the scene alone would draw attention cuz Johnny was not going back in there behind closed doors without a fight.
All hope was lost as Johnny and Cam stepped over the threshold to freedom Johnny felt a tug pulling him back inside.
Johnny pushed Cam ahead.
"Run!
Keep Running!" Johnny cried as Alexander held onto Johnny with a knife in his other hand.
"Cameron get back in here." Alexander said calmly as he held the knife to Johnnys throte.
"Cam don't!" Johnny yelled back and winced in pain as the steel blade bit into his skin.
Cam couldn't let Johnny die for his freedom.
Cam looked at his three options, two led to his freedom but without Johnny it wasn't freedom and one led back to his living nightmare.
"I'm sorry Johnny." Cam said quietly as he stepped closer.
Needless to say they both got the beating of their life that day.
.....Jonathan & Cameron's present....
Cam was snapped out of his horrible memory of that day when all his friends were shoved into the room including the girls.
Kay looked horrible her face swollen with bruises and cuts.
Tears streaked Cam's face as he looked at them all slumped exhausted on the floor leaning against the bed.
"You were thinking back weren't you?" Johnny could tell when Cam gets lost in his memories.
Cam walked over and squeezed himself between Johnny and Kay who rested her head on his shoulder.
"Thats nice." Kay said as she fell asleep in pure exhaustion.
A smile graced his face even though he wanted to kill the one who hurt her.
"Wanna talk about it?" Johnny asked.
"Nah...
Well I was just thinking about that time we tried to run away." Cam said as he wiped away the tears.
"Oh that day...
I think that was our worse.
But than yet the jury is still out on that." Johnny chuckled and winced in pain Cam looked at him seriously.
"Just a few bruises on my side nothing I can't handle." Johnny smirked as he rested his head back against the bed.
"Looks like I have my work cut out for me." H.G. sighed as he walked out of the bathroom drying his hair with a towel and looking at the display of injured people before him.
"Where's Newt and Bellamy?!" H.G. asked as he mentally scaned to see who needed the most attention.
While Dina gave them water
"Ethan kept them for private training, they nearly got put out.
He wants to make sure they know some better moves that will keep them alive. Apparently we are getting that training tomorrow first thing in the morning by Ethan's orders he confirmed it and you three are lucky to have missed what Jones called orientation or placement." John explained as he helped H.G. tend to the injured.
Kay moaned as John tried to wake her so she could drink the tea.
"I'll wake her just tend to everyone else Cam said as he took the cup from John.
"Kay there's a case Deakins wants you on." Cam tried shockingly worked to effectively.
"I'm up." Kay shot up and groaned in pain clutching her side.
She narrowed her eyes at Cam.
Who dicided to blame Johnny.
"Oh no you can handle this problem on your own, this bodyguard is out of commission for the day." Johnny laughed as he used Cam's shoulder to get up and go wash up.
"Sorry I couldn't think of anything to wake you." Cam shrugged with a smile as he hanned her the cup.
"Next time try something less exciting.
A hug a tap a kiss on something more peaceful." Kay said as she noticed a goofy grin plastered on Cam's face.
"A kiss..." Cam repeated.
Kay rolked her eyes.
"Yeah on my cheek or head let's not get all mushy about it." Kay playfully shived him as he was obviously still pondering the kiss.
Kay calmly picked up the glass of watter Dina gave her before she fell asleep and dumped it on his head.
"Hey!" Cam laughed as shook the exsses of water on her causing her to laugh lightly so not to hurt herself more
"Will you two make out already the suspense is killing me." Johnny laughed.
As he rejoined them on the floor.
Both kay and Cam eyed to unwatched filled pitchers of water.
As Johnny laid his head back eyes closed they dumped it on them.
This of course just created a water war and no one was dry.
"How old are you?"
Ethan smirked as he was faced by a buch of adults and one child soaked with water all still giggling.
"John make sure to tend to these boys while I go get you all fresh clothes." Ethan said as he shook his head with a smile as he turned to walk out the door.
