Deception

Chapter 12

Hot tears streaked down Lexi's face as Young trailed his hand against her body.
Lexi tried to scream threw the gag he put on her when she started yelling at him and spitting in his face.
She even pulled on the cuffs around her wrist and ankles in hopes they just give way.
Suddenly the door slammed open and the florecent light nearly blinded Lexi who's eyes were yet to focus from the dark.
As for Young he screamed and cussed because he was literally blinded due to the nighre vision glasses he was wearing.
"Get that pervert out of my sight!" Jones groweled as he threw Young at Carson.
"My apologies for Mr.Young.
He doesn't act appropriate around beautiful girls." Jones said in a soft tone almost like a purr as he unchained Lexi's wrists.
Jones cringed as he saw her wrists were bruised and cut from the strain she put on them.
The bruises on Lexi's face seemed to make Jones even more angry.
The way Jones looked at Lexi and the way he spoke sent chills up her spine.
Jones reminded her of Alexander and her worse memory of that man was burned into her mind.
"Now do you need anything.
Water, a snack, maybe both?" Jones produced a bottle of water and a granola bar still in its wrapping.
Lexi stared blankly at the items sceptical that he most likely tampered with it.
"I don't have all the time in the world till you make up that fickle mind of your's girl." Jones huffed as he sat the items on a small stand slamming the door shut as he left.
Lexi jumped at the sound of the door beiy slammed snapping her out of her shock.
"Lexi..." Raven spoke from the vent on the wall.
"Raven!?
Where are we?" Lexi dropped down to the vent trying to see the boy on the other side.
"Not sure somewhere in the cavrens I guess.
I only saw a few of the spaces in the caveren and this is not one of them." Raven said as he sat against the wall on his side looking at the scars on the palms of his hand because they took his leather fearless gloves that he wore eversince the scars.
"Hey are you okay?" Lexi could hear he was afraid his breathing was sgacky and uneven.
"Yeah...
I'll live." Raven squeezed his eyes as tears streamed silently down his face.
How did you get here?
Were you guys on another trap door?
Do you know where my brother is?" Raven tried to get his mind off the time he was kidnapped and turtured by Jones.
....................Raven's Past.....................
"Who do you think you are Jones?
Don't give me that line that your my old man, because your not and your not allowed to keep attacking us!" Raven snapped he was ready to charge at Jones who just barged into the safe house.
"Such energy and hatred.
It's only a matter of time till my son follows his true master." Jones said with a wicked smirk.
That's all it took for Raven, he had it with this guy.
Raven ran at Jones ready to beat the crap out of the guy.
Unfortunately Jones overpowered Raven's thirteen year old 90 pound  body.
Jones held Raven close to him from behind and put a blade to Raven's throat.
"Did you know a great warrior gave me this dagger...
He told me it's the only weapon that can kill the demons that roam this earth. Funny thing it also killed him." Jones said as His eys locked with Jake.
Jones spoke in Raven's ear but also loud enough for Jake to hear as he stood on the last step half in shock.
Jake was about to try and make a move but Jones pulled the blade tighter to Raven's throat.
"I'd stay put if I were you Jake...
That is if you want the boy to live.... Don't make me kill my son." Jones snarled.
Jones took hold of Raven's hair snapping his head back.
Jones gave Raven a kiss on the forehead as he was now breaking the skin on Raven's neck with the dagger.
Raven felt the sting and the warmth of the blood that trickled.
Fear enveloped Raven more than ever before, it was so much that Raven was starting to black out, all sounds in the room were muffled.
Jake could see that Raven was starting to shut down.
"Let the boy go.
We'll corporate.
Just don't hurt the boy." Jake pleaded as he began to wonder where Cole the youngest brother was.
'I didn't see him before Jones came in.' Jake glanced down the hall to the kitchen and up the steps for Cole but he wasn't in sight.
"Okay...
Get the rest of the boys in here." Jones ordered as he threw Raven to the ground.
Jake ran to him to make sure the cut wasn't deep.
"I said get the boys, not check on his cut!" Jones ordered as he grabbed the back of Jakes shirt with the dagger in Jake's face.
Jones shoved Jake away from the boy.
But before Jake left he looked back at Raven who gave him a look that said. 'Save them and leave me.'
It made Jake's heart sink at the thought.
Jake practically raised the boy, he had a strong love for him like a father would have.
Jake would do anything to protect these boys and now he had to let one go and it was killing him.
But Jake also knew Mas was not strong enough to deal with Jones and Cole is not ready for this battle either he was untrained and and to young.
Jake solemnly left to go upstairs glancing back at Raven one last time before climbing the steps.
Jones grabbed Raven by the hair and moved him into the living room.
Jones threw Raven onto the couch with such force it tilted back slightly.
"What is Jake doing!?
He better not have ran." Jones inquired as he toyed with his dagger every so often slashing it close to Raven's face. Raven's eyes started to sting.
'Great...
I can't let my emotions flow and give this creep the satisfaction.'
Raven thought to himself as he tried to calm down.
"Hey Raven you seen Jake?
I found this aloe.
It might help with Mason's cuts." Cole said as he walked in drinking a monster drink.
All Raven could do was yell.
"RUN!"
Cole reacted without hesitation.
Even Raven attempted to run but before he knew it Jones grabbed the back of his shirt and slammed him in the gut knocking the wind out of him.
Jones proceeded to chase Cole down the hall.
Before Cole could reach the back door Jones grabbed hold of Cole's hair snapping his head back making Cole fall on his back.
"What room?!" Jones spat in his face as he pinned Cole to the floor.
Trembling, Cole said.
"Top of the stairs, first room." Jones pulled the boy to his feet and had him show the way while he still kept a tight grip on Cole's golden hair.
When Jones opened the door and saw it was empty, anger rose inside.
Jones grabbed hold of Cole's throat as he pinned him against the door frame. "Where are they?!" Jones yelled.
Cole gasped for air and grabbed at his captor's hand trying to pry it of his throat.
"I...
don't know."
Cole cried as his lungs started to burn.
Before Cole passed out Jones let
go.
Cole crumpled to the ground gasping for air.
Jones grabbed Cole by his hair again and drug him down the steps back into the living room.
"Why is Jake so stupid?
You'd think he wants me to kill you and this sugar freak.
Well looks like it's only going to be the three of us going on this trip.
As long as you don't give me trouble I'll stop hurting you...
Got it Raven?
Oh and don't forget if you cross me I just might hurt the kid instead of you." Jones said as he shoved them to the car. "Raven your driving." Jones ordered. "Can't no license.
Plus I'm seeing double." Raven steadied himself for a hit but instead Jones shoved him in the back seat.
Raven was practically passed out from exhaustion, till they arrived at the train station.
"Move it!" Jones ordered and pushed Raven who reluctantly got up.
"What? ....
Where are we?....
How long have I been out?" Raven asked getting over his sleep haze.
"About, two days.
We're at a train station." Cole answered he seemed tired instead of his usual wiry self.
"You okay?" Raven asked not that Cole looked injured, Raven just wanted to make sure nothing happened while he was passed out.
"I'm fine, it's just been awhile till I had something sweet." Cole said putting on his best pitty me face.
'I knew one of these days he'd pay for all that junk food.' Raven thought to himself as they boarded the train.
Any on looker would have thought they were a normal family...
Raven was about to jump off with Cole and the others that came to save them. But Jones grabbed hold of Raven, who yelled to the boys.
"Protect Cole!"
The boy who had ahold of Cole didn't hesitate, he leapt off.
Jones slammed Raven's head into a pole knocking him out and went off after them but they evaded him.
Jones returned as Raven was coming too.
"Lets go." Jones growled.
He lifted Raven to his feet and half drug Raven down the narrow train hall back to their room.
Lucky for Jones no one was watching.
Jones practically threw Raven in the room.
Jones closed and locked the door.
Raven sat pressed against the window wall that usually people would look out and enjoy the scenery but that was the last thing on Raven's mind all he wanted was to get out of that room.
"When I get my hands on that boy." Jones snarled as he pulled out his dagger.
Raven struggled to his feet.
"Look you have me...
You don't need Cole he'll just slow you down.
Sure I almost got away too but I'm still here.
I swear I won't try to escape again.
I'll do what ever you say." Raven pleaded.
Raven was terrified, he'd say anything to keep from getting hurt by Jones again.
"We'll see about that." Jones said with a sinister look.
Jones grabbed Raven's hand and put the point of his dagger into the palm of his hand driving it through.
Raven started to scream but Jones quickly covered his mouth.
"Now you will bare the same mark of the one you love so much." Jones sneered as he grabbed Raven's other hand.
Raven screamed again in pain.
Jones covered Raven's mouth once again and slammed Raven's head hard against the glass leaving a crack in the glass.
"Stop doing that!" Jones yelled as he drove the dagger once again through Ravens other hand.
Raven ended up passing out from the pain...
...................Back To Present................
"Raven did you hear me?
The room filled with some kind of smoke we tried to get out in the hall for air when we were grabbed right before passing out from the smoke.
I woke up here alone.
I don't know where Mas is." Lexi repeted to Raven.
"Oh...
Okay." Raven sighed.
As he forced his mind back to the present.
"Hey we are gonna get out of this." Lexi tried to stay positive.
The sound of Raven's bolt open made Lexi's heart sink.
Raven's whimper as he pressed himself against the wall as if he could pass through it made Lexi's heart pound.
"Its been awhile my boy." Jones sneered.
"Not long enough." Lexi heard Raven grumble under his breath.
"Looks like I finally broke you." Jones smirked as he approached Raven.
Jones grabbed him by the hair and drug him out of the cell kicking and screaming.
All Lexi could do was listen and cry as she heard the fear Raven had for that man...
