Deception:Lion's Den

Chapter 5

Cam and Johnny sat on there bunk watching the boys get settled.
They got the large room after Jared complained along with the other boys and got Gabriel to cave.
Four bunk beds now lined the walls.
Cam's and Johnny's was placed by the window, they were happy about that being able to see out to the woods and trails.
"You like hiking?" Mas asked as he plopped down on the edge of their bed to see where they were looking.
Johnny shrugged.
"Yeah we were at a cabin and he let us explore." Cam mumbled.
"Well Jake is big on nature so trust me we will be hiking a lot." Raven chuckled.
Those two were like night and day.
Raven was like the night his raven black hair and midnight blue eyes.
He also wears dark colors, his fitted t'shirt had an awesome looking cross with the word R£D££M£D B¥ TH£ BLØØD, elegantly written in red with blood dripping off the words, elegant wings landed on his shoulder blades that look as if they were his.
Mas's wore the same but brighter colors, he had light brown hair and emerald green eyes.
Cole was brighter than his older brothers with his bleach blond like hair with strawberry blonde highlights and bright green, blue eyes.
Justin looked like the twins.
Blackish brown hair and light brown highlights and golden brown eyes.
"Are you all family?" Cam asked.
"Just us four.
Those two bone heads are friends of ours." Justin smirked.
"So what happened to you two you look like you got back from war?" Raven frowned as he joined Mas.
"Nothing." They both mumbled.
They didn't press any further.
"Let's take a walk." Raven said as he numped to his feet, he hates just sitting around.
They all went out and walked the halls.
The boys pointed out the different zones to beware of but noticed that they were being unusually nice towards them.
'Must be the new guys, they are big.' Cam shrugged to himself.
The boys froze as they neared Shadow Hall.
"L-let's g-go t-this w-way." Johnny stuttered.
He was breaking out in cold sweats, he was near passing out.
Justin realized now how they got hurt and his blood boiled.
Ignoring Johnny's suggestion he walked down the hall with his family following and reluctantly the boys.
Dash and Jared took up the rear.
"Your crazy bringing them here!" Wrath snapped as he blocked them with Ghost at his side.
"If Seth see's them he'll take them again. This time I doubt he would let them go." Ghost warned grabbing the boys and leading them back out.
"Seth!" Justin yelled.
Everyone who knew Seth froze, except Ghost who was removing the boys and Cole from the area.
The door creaked like a haunted house.
Ghost wrapped his arms protectively around the boys as they watched a safe distance away.
Cole wasn't afraid, he was like his brothers so he could take this guy if needed.
"Who are...
Fresh meat, you came to search me out?
What do you want I was busy?" Seth snapped.
Justin heard a boy whimpering.
With out a single thought he shoved Seth aside.
"Hey!" Seth growled and went to grab Justin but Jared slammed him against the wall.
"Don't you dare touch him." Jared snapped as his blue eyes seemed to glow.
Seth actually quivered from the soul piercing eyes.
Justin reached the crying shivering boy curled up on the floor.
Justin frowned at the already forming bruises.
His eyes focused in on the chains and saw the boy was actually chained to the wall.
Justin took in the room.
"This is disgusting.
Raven get in here." Justin snapped.
"Yes big brother?" Raven smirked.
He knows what Justin needed.
The hobby he started with picking locks because he was board.
Justin insisted it wasn't a hobby and it wasn't practical.
"Wipe that smirk off moron.
Get these cuffs off him." Justin was holding the small boy on his lap.
"What's your name kid?" Justin asked.
"Benjamin.
Luca told me not to leave with out him but I got board.
I wanted to go to the play yard where Liam is." Ben said as he cried.
"It fine your okay.
No need to cry squirt." Raven smiled at him.
Ben gave him a shy smile.
"All free.
You want me to get him?" Raven asked as he helped Ben to his feet.
Justin nodded and Raven picked up the boy.
"How old are you your tiny." Raven teased.
"Twelve." Ben mumbled as he rested his chin on Raven's shoulder.
"Your going to be a giant when you start growing like a weed." Raven teased getting a giggle out of Ben.
"Benny!?" Luca gasped as he ran over to them.
Ben burst into tears as soon as he saw his gaurdian.
Luca practically raised him.
Luca squeezed the boy peppering his face with kisses.
"I was looking everywhere for you.
I'm going to kill Seth!" Luca said through clenched teeth.
"Yeah don't worry about that my bro is taking care of that." Raven smirked than cringed at the sound of a fist hitting into flesh.
Dash and Jared drug the unconscious Seth out into the hall way, everyone gasped and parted for them.
"Where dose everyone gather?" Justin asked Luca.
"The yard.
W-what are you going to do?" Luca asked still carrying Ben as they followed Justin.
"Teach people like him who is in charge.
I will not tolerate behavior like that." Justin growled.
Raven and Mas sighed and shook their heads.
"He is going to blow our cover.
Breaking his last record." Cole giggled.
He spoke low but the two younger twins picked up on it.
'Cover?
Record.' The boys mouthed to eacother
"Cam, Johnny...
What's going on?" Aden caught up to his friends with is older brothers in toe.
"Seth had Ben.
Justin is going to kill him I think." Cam explained as they crowded around with all the other boys.
All the leaders of the groups got to the front.
"Listen up aggressive leaders and boys, this will no longer be an option.
If any of you pick on a smaller weaker boy you better watch your back because I will destroy you like this scum." Justin said as he slamned his fist into a still dazed Seth.
"Well now why didn't anyone deal with you before, your not so scary." Justin teased as he grabbed Seth's hair and forced him to look at him.
Seth cringed at the golden eyes digging in to his soul.
"What are you?" Seth stuttered.
"Your worse nightmare." Justin was about to give him another blow to the head...
"Justin!" Gabriel's booming voice made everyone jump and part ways for him.
"Look I had to..." Justin started.
"Justin my room now!" Gabriel ordered.
Gabriel glanced at everyone and saw Ben hiding his face in Lucas arms.
Gabriel walked towards them.
He could see the wounds.
"Did he do this?" Gabriel asked as he put his hand on the small boys back.
Instantly the boy relaxed.
"Yes." Luca sighed.
"Justin found him I assume." Gabriel glanced at Raven who wouldn't meet his gaze.
Gabriel glanced at the leather fingerless gloves Raven wears to hide the scars.
"Yes sir he saved me." Ben smiled.
Gabriel couldn't help but smile back at the boy.
"Okay.
Boys shows over.
Get this one to the medic.
Luca get Ben looked at also." Gabriel instructed...
"Look I'm..." Justin started as Gabriel entered he put his hand up to stop him.
"Sit please." Gabriel said calmly.
"Sorry." Justin whispered as a stray tear fell.
"I know its hard to just sit back and watch an innocent child be harmed.
Now I'm not saying you did anything wrong, you probably acted when your supposed to but Justin you of all people can't do what you were doing.
That's not our mission.
Sure I understand you have to at times but what was your plan out there if I didn't stop you?" Gabriel asked never taking his eyes off the boy.
"I was going to beat him senseless.
He nearly killed the boys.
Than Ben.
Gabe I can't sit back and let this happen.
If you let us, we can get them all in line.
All of them would think twice before laying a hand on another boy." Justin explained.
"I know but we can't come in as ourselves and take over.
If we want to get this place undercontrol and ready for the leaders by evacuation day that would be best.
Just keep yourselves under control, protect when needed and never ever reveal who we are especially to Seth Black.
He will report to his brothers and we might loose those boys completely.
I don't want Jones to get them alone, you remember what he did to Raven." Gabriel reminded.
"Yes sir." Justin sighed as he left.
"So you grounded?" Jared asked as he pushed off the wall.
"Technically we all are." Justin teased.
"That's not what I mean." Jared teased as be pulled Justin into a head lock and ruffled his hair.
"Come on it took me forever to tame the curls." Justin grumbled.
"I love your natural better.
I know the girls love it to.
Remember at that school we got stationed at?
The girls wouldn't stop looking at you." Jared said as they walked back outside.
"Have you seen us?
Of course they wouldn't stop looking, we look like every girls fantasy or these days guys too." Justin gulped at the thought of this one time he got cornered in the locker room alone, he was as old as Cole at the time, the boy was a highschooler.
"Hey no need to think about that day.
I know what you mean but on the subject that was the day I laughed the hardest.
Your little fist raised above your head with your puffy cheeks and red nose.
'Don't ever touch me again pervert." Jared renacted using a baby voice.
"Man I swear he wet himself." Jared burst out laughing.
Justin shoved him.
"Look I can't help I got Samson's strength.
But it doesn't always work you know.
I have been held captive already just like those boys." Justin grumbled.
Jared sighed.
"Yeah well cause we were drugged by Jones.
Hey Stone should be coming right?" Jared asked.
"Yeah well Stone said he and Sky are going to sit this one out.
Still licking his wounds from the last mission.
Sky is concerned for him." Justin explained as they walked the trail.
"Can't believe Gabe clipped our wings.
This cliff would be a perfect up draft." Jared sighed as he sat on the edge.
Justin chuckled at his friend.
"Look we're alone let's do it." Justin nudged him.
Jared's eyes lit up, he was up on his feet in seconds and lept off.
His pure white wing spread catching the wind.
Jared was in his elamant.
He always knew he was born to fly.
When he learned he was gifted with angel like abilities that included wings he nearly passed out with excitement.
"Come join me the air is fine." Jared giggled as he glidded near Justin who rolled his eyes and spread his wings.
"K let's not go to far.
I see a water fall I'll race...
Dash!?" Justin chuckled as Dash flew pass like a streak of lightning.
"Come on slow pokes we are loosing light I want to see the fall before curfew." Dash called back.
The boys landed ontop of the falls out of breath.
"So peaceful.
Can't wait till we can show the boys all we can do, even what they can do.
I wander what Cam and Johnny's abilities are.
Do they even have any?" Jared pondered.
"Most likely.
HE wouldn't leave HIS warrior exposed without some skills." Justin said as he basked in the sun, eyes closed and soaking in the warmth.
"What about the bear clan do they even know they really are thee Bear Clan's lost kids?
Do we really have to return the Snakes and Shadow land kids?
I think that place suits them." Jared mumbled.
Dash laughed at that.
"Yes Jared.
I know they deserve it but they are technically innocent as well.
They were kidnapped just like the others.
But Seth well he's a different story.
Man I know I can't kill him and its dangerous to even think it but man there is just something about him that makes me so angry, I could end up going Dark." Justin clenched his fist tighter.
"Justin!
Take it easy." Dash gasped ad he saw his friends golden eyes go Dark.
Justin started breathing heavy as he was trying to calm himself.
"You good now?" Dash looked at him with cerned as Jared was frightened hiding behind Dash, thinking about his older brother who went Dark on him.
"Jared!?
Hey I'm good.
I'm so sorry." Justin wrapped his arms around Justin.
They we're both there and both held captive till Gabe found them.
"Why?
He was always there for me than one day he tried to practically kill us." Jared cried.
"I don't know what made Lexus change but I'm still here for you little brother." Justin half teased.
Jared chuckled.
"We're the same age.
Beside I have Jake." Jared smirked.
"Yeah right, man that has to stink having the toughest trainer be your brother." Justin laughed.
"Don't remind me.
He acts like I have to be the perfect role model or something." Jared sighed.
"Guys its getting dark we better head back before he literally clips our wings." Dash said as he stood and stretched..
As soon as they entered the building Jake and Gabriel were standing at the entrance.
"All we ask is for you to follow the rules.
Is it really that hard?" Gabriel asked sternly.
All the boys hung their heads.
"Go to your room.
Your officially grounded.
Classes, meal and your room are you destination for a month." Gabriel instructed.
The boys drug their feet to their room.
"Where were you guys?" Jonny asked as he sat on his top bunk.
"Yeah you....
Ugh...
Seriously without us." Raven flopped back on his top bunk, his head was practically touching Johnny's pillow.
They removed the bar to connect the beds making it fit better.
"How with just one look?" Justin grumbled.
Cam and Johnny looked confused as they watched the brothers bicker.
"Raven why do you wear gloved to bed?" Cam asked.
"My hands get cold." Raven mumbled.
"But what about your fingers?" Johnny added.
"Really drop it okay." Raven sighed.
Johnny leaned closer his head hovering over Raven's face.
Raven flinched at how close the kid was.
Johnny gave a small smile kissed his forehead.
"Goodnight your safe now." Johnny yawned as he laid his head on his pillow.
Raven sat up slightly and looked at the boy who was all snuggled into his pillow.
"Johnny.
What do you know?" Raven asked.
"That your old man must have done something to your hands and your hiding it.
Like my back." Johnny sighed burring his face to hide the tears.
Raven could see the faint scar up on the back of Johnny's neck.
Without a thought Raven lifted the shirt.
It wasn't horrible but still it was scared.
"I was five.
I yelled back at him." Johnny sighed.
Raven sighed as he tucked Johnny in.
'Poor baby.
If only we got to the hospital sooner.' Justin and Jared both thought.
"I'm sorry." Jared whispered.
Raven looked over.
"That was the same day I ticked off Lex and well you know what happened after that." Jared sighed.
Justin and Jared were still just babies themselves but well into their abilities.
They were to go stay with the boys till a Guardian came to remove the toddlers and eventually their training would have begun.
But on their way out Lex got upset for no reason.
He hurt both Jared and Justin knocking them out and kidnapping them.
They were missing for a month till the elders got tipped off.
Gabriel and Jake made it just in time before Lex could get the boys to go dark as well.
Jared isn't as touchy about going dark but Justin walks a very fine line with it.
"You didn't do anything wrong." Cam said.
Jared and the other boys looked at him shocked.
Jared barely spoke above a whisper, they usually talk like that because their hearing is so strong and if they don't want anyone else to know what they are talking about.
"We have really good hearing." Johnny giggled and yawned.
The boys decided it was time to relax and sleep.
They made plans to talk more tomorrow...
