Deception:Lion's Den

Chapter 4

Jack and Daniel stood there speechless fists clenched.
Johnny was chained to the wall his shirt torn like a savage animal attacked him.
Johnny had gashes on his chest and torso.
His face was swollen and bruised, blood dripping from the gashes on his face.
His wrists and ankles were cut up from how tight the cuffs were, plus from the struggle to get free.
Cam laid on the bed his eye bruised and lip split.
He was in a fetal position covering his ears.
He was in shock.
Jack saw a rag tied to both their arms soaked in blood.
Jack carfuly removed the rag from Cam and saw (Mine SB.)
Carved into Cam's arm.
Jack sighed knowing Johnny's had to be the same.
"Best call the Doc." Seth leaned nonchalantly against the door frame eating a bag of chips.
Jack was ready to attack Seth but Daniel pulled him back.
"Its not going to help the boys Jack." Daniel said as he than walked over and cradled Cam in his arm and started walking pass Seth who gripped his arm.
"Don't forget, their mine." Seth grinned.
"They are not yours!
Trust me Seth you will regret the day you laid eyes on the boys." Daniel said with such malace that even Jack was taken by surprise.
Gently Jack freed Johnny and carried him out of the horror room.
They headed straight to the medical staff in the toddler wing.
"My word what happened?" Janet gasped.
"Seth happened." Bear growled.
Janet chased everyone out into the waiting room so they can get started...
"Good news no scaring.
I was able to stitch up the wounds on both boys.
Even that horrid carving.
I also took that time to remove the scar tissue that was from long ago.
You boys are all welcome to stay here with them while they heal.
We have extra rooms and beds." Janet smiled as she led them back in.
The boys were pale but looked better now that they were cleaned up.
Dom sat between their beds sobbing.
"Hey...
Janet said their going to be fine." Jack assured him as he knelt in front of Dom resting his hands on his shoulders for comfort.
"Thats not the point.
I should have protected them.
I always did at school, no one ever messed with them.
I made sure of it.
They needed some place safe.
Their old man was horrible but he never..." Dom paused as the Dean of the school walked in.
His face was pale as he looked at the boys.
"I knew I should have put that one under lock and key." Jones mumbled as he walked between the beds looking at the sleeping boys.
He didn't even pay any mind to the other boys in the room let alone Jack and Dom who stood protectively.
"Sir?" Dom asked.
"Their my nephews.
I know you all know, especially you Jack what my brother did.
If its any consultation, I was against it.
My brother is a lot like our little brother Seth.
Seth was sent here after our insane father established this place to deal with Seth.
Eventually it became more than an institute for the mentally insane and he allowed boys like yourselves mingle with them.
When I took over I removed most of them sending them to an institute that might really help them.
I kept Seth for two reasons.
One he fooled me and two he's my little brother." Jones said never looking at the other boys just at his helpless nephews.
"Sir.
Why did he bother making this place?
Why not just send him away?" Dom asked.
"He did.
But they abused Seth.
Not that our dad was any different but you know how it is.
So he decided he could handle him.
Well after a few abusive ways dad got him to settle.
But than when him and Colt went on a hike in the woods with my other brother the one you met, Jack.
They both plotted to hurt Colt.
They nearly killed him.
I beat the crap out of Seth and Bash with the help of my other two brothers.
Colt was out cold.
I got him to the hospital in time.
When we returned home they had this crazy made up story that Alex, Carson and I did something to Colt because we always fought.
Sure I took my punishment.
But when dad caught Seth trying to kill Colt a few months later Dad figured it all out.
And so the institute was born.
Colt was told Seth died.
Colt is a year younger than Seth
Their father started a family when he was young but he was on his own away from us." Jones sighed.
"Why don't you take the boys out of here?" Jack asked.
"Because I can't.
Just like I can't do anything about Seth.
Look its up to you boys to protect them and all the kids.
I will say this, if you find away to stop Seth no one will hold you accountable." Jones sighed as he moved Johnny's bangs to reveal some of the damage.
Jones placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
He did the same with Cam...
"You know I'm with them why can't you get them out of here?
Or at least shut this place down?" Janet stood in Jones's way at the exit of the building.
"I am only the care taker, its out of my hands.
Look I left Bash's game the second I took the two redheads from him.
I knew he was getting antsy and soon he would destroy his inventory.
You know he is using the institute as his new stock yard.
Seth probably had orders from Bash to harm the boys.
Their both insane.
I know I'm not much better but I know I'd never do what their doing to those boys." Jones sighed.
But Janet could tell sonething was off about him.
Like he was putting on some sort of act...
The boys all spent three months making sure the twins were fully healed.
All the groups set up new laws of protection.
Neither unsure how to enforce it with Seth.
"Yeah I'm fine picking on the older kids I can lay off the younger ones.
Seth was an eye opener." King said from the lions den.
"Yeah about that seriously if it was such an eye opener why bully anyone.
Can't we all just get along.
I'm glad to see Wrath and Ghost are on our side as well.
But dont you think we had enough trauma to last a life time.
We need to come together to protect us all from Seth.
He's crazy..." Bear was cut off from Simon.
"He's like me, calculates your every move.
If I wanted to I could have killed you all without Braking a sweat.
That's Seth he's intelligent.
Beyond the norm so much so he literally snapped turning him into a psycho.
Granted his up bringing didnt help.
Without knowing it their dad created a monster who was smarter than him." Simon explained.
Kyle looked at him in surprise.
"You scare me.
How do you know all this?
What's your point?" Kyle asked.
"The net, their notorious criminals.
The law can't even touch them.
They pay for the best lawyers.
They do a clean sweep.
They never mess up or leave evidence.
Except now.
Seth made them bleed.
I bet my life so did the uncle who raised them.
I happened to have a blood sample from Seth's shirt.
If they went to that home I bet my life they would find evidence he tortured those boys.
Thus him going to jail and this home gets shut down.
And we can be placed in a normal boys home or for us older ones, start a new life paid for by Mr.Black himself.
Cuz face it we are all kidnapped kids.
Who's parents disappearance and their death seem to fishy...
My mom never left the house nor did she know how to drive.
Physically she can't.
But she was found in the driver seat, in the middle of a highway pile up.
I can't believe I was even sent here, my lawyer insisted it was a set up.
That whoever did it could get to me.
But they ignored and here I am." Simon explained.
"Yeah the same happened to me my folks disappeared without a trace.
I had evidence that they called saying they were coming home soon.
A loud noise and men shouting.
They said it wasn't enough to rule it a kidnap, they made me ward of the state and sent me here.
My dad and mom were both military, high ranking even." Jack grumbled.
"So I'm the only one who's folks were actually killed?" Daniel sighed.
Jack frowned as he looked at the boy he practically raised.
"Daniel...
I was there, I tried to stop them but I was just a kid they rigged it so it would crush them.
You don't remember but I was the one that pulled you out of the way and kept you from trying to save them.
I'm sorry." Jack half whispered the last part as a stray tear fell.
"Its okay, I don't blame you but thank you, for saving me that is.
Seems like your always saving me." Daniel smirked.
The warning bell of new arrivals sounded and the boys became curious as to who the new group would be.
They crowded around at the chain fence watching the new group of boys along with the new staff that will stay now after the whole situation with the twins.
Cam and Johnny stood close to their friends.
TK and Dom stood protectively along with Bear and Luca.
The first to step of was a raven haired boy built like a god compared to kids their age.
Behind him was a boy his complete opposite but looked exactly like him.
"I wander if he died his hair black...
Don't even think about it Johnny." Cam glared at Johnny's smirk.
"Oh come on we can't always look like exact copies for ever.
I have to explore my style." Johnny shrugged and smiled at the boys who were looking at them with an amused smile.
The boys didn't seem phased by the taunts of the other boys.
A blond boy much smaller stood close to the boys while another taller, older boy had his hands protectively on his shoulders.
"Wow they are an interesting new group.
It would be funny if they ended up in angel wing." Bear chuckled.
Next off was the teachers.
An older gentle man stepped off and looked at all the boys.
Everyone grew quiet as he assest his new students.
When his eyes landed on the boys and their friends he smiled at them as if knowing they were an okay group of kids.
Another guy slightly smaller stepped off with a young boy who had his eyes buried in a book.
He slapped him in the back of the head lightly causing him to snap the tattered book shut and put it into his satchel.
He also practically drug a grumbling boy off the bus with another smirking at the scene going on.
They were led into the hall away from prying eyes.
Except Bear clan, angel wing and wolf pack.
They were allowed in  to meet the new kids and staff without the stress of the other group.
"Okay boys I expect you to be on your best behavior.
Now for the rest of you, my name is Gabriel.
I will be your new teacher who will be staying among those in Angel wing, Jake here will be your trainer...
Err umm...
Gym teacher.
This is James he is Jake's apprentice...
Err umm...
Trainee." Gabriel fumbled fogetting that his usual terms would be confusing, the boys that came with him were giggling causing him to glare at them and they became silent.
"I worked with another boys home that as you can see I brought some of my boys with me.
They will be staying in Angel Wing along with me." Gabriel smirked.
After introduction they headed off to their rooms.
"Okay so we are going to do a little rearranging.
Cameron and Johnathan.
I am putting you in with Raven, Mason and Cole who is your age.
This gives Kyle and Liam a chance to stretch out.
I will take that bed and put it in with Jake who will have James, this way if needed there is an extra bed.
Jared, Dash and Justin will be in the room next to me where I can keep a close eye on you three...
"Seriously why can't...
Sorry sir." Dash sighed as he was given a stern look...
