Deception:Lion's Den

Chapter 7

Gabe gently woke the sleeping boys.
"W-What!?" Johnny got frightened and clung to Cam.
In his sleep state he thought he was at home and Bash came to hurt them.
"P-please sir I...
Gabriel?" Johnny looked around the room and started to relax.
Tears fell from his fright.
Than Johnny realized Cam was sobbing as he buried his face in his shirt.
'Cam must have thought the samething.' Johnny thought to himself.
Gabe and Red both frowned at the boys.
Peace came in and sat next to them.
He put his hand on Cam's back.
"Your okay baby." Peace said softly.
Cam looked at the man offering him a warm smile.
Without warning Cam clung to him.
"I'll carry him." Peace chuckled.
Gabe smirked at that but Peace is well exactly what his name is.
Cam most likely felt it radiating off him.
"Your a cheater." Red teased.
"Can't help that my gifts are like magnets, drawing people to me." Peace winked.
Raven handed Peace Cam's pack as he carried the small boy.
Johnny jumped on Red's back with his pack on his back.
"Soo...
Where are we going?
Are we going in a plane?" Johnny asked Red who chuckled at the boys sudden enthusiasm.
"Well not exactly a plane but I think you'll like this better." Red smirked.
The moment they got outside the boys were in awe.
All around were Angels each taking a kid and flying off with them.
Dom, Bear, Ben and Luca, including the boys first roommates came running over.
Jack and his group spotted them and came to stand with them.
"Uncle Matty?
Indy?" Daniel said with tears glistening in his eyes.
Matty and Indy both wrapped their arms around him and hugged him.
"I'm so sorry I left you exposed." Matty mumbled as he held tight to Daniel.
Johnny and Cam watched as the angels flew off with a kid.
"Okay listen up.
Those kids are going to their designated homes.
But this group I am taking to Elders Ground.
Aka Angel Wing.
I feel you boys have a strong bond and I don't want to sever that." Gabe instructed.
"Sir I'm afraid to report the borders are closed, everyone is being diverted to Eternal City." A warrior angel reported.
"Thank you for your intel Scout.
Well good thing I planed to keep you together.
Angels wings out.
We are going home." Gabe shouted as he picked up Liam.
"This is so awesome." Johnny giggled as he clung to Red's arms that wrapped around him tightly.
"Put your arms out." Red said.
Johnny did and he was even more thrilled.
Ahead they saw some of the Angels playing with the kids letting them free fall than catch them.
"Can we do that?" Johnny asked excitedly.
Red chuckled and without warning he let Johnny fall.
As soon as he caught him Johnny was speechless.
Red got concerned for a second.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Johnny blurted out in laughter.
"Please don't do that." Cam whispered as he clung tighter to Peace's arms.
"No never.
Besides your to cuddly to let go." Peace teased as he snuggled Cam.
"Aren't we supposed to be mature?" Gabe mumbled as he flew up along side Peace.
"You know we feel what they desire." Peace chuckled.
"Yeah but we don't feed every desire, some are just forbidden." Gabe added.
"Gabe, peace brother.
You know some just need to be indulged.
They need to be cheered up.
Or sleep." Peace giggled as he felt Cam relax in his arms.
He situated Cam so his face was against his chest away from the cool wind.
"Let's stop here.
There's an old tree house camp.
I had Rose stay and tend to it with Care." Gabe smirked as the roses came into view.
As soon as they got the kids settled down in the dinning hall.
Rose had her team bring food out.
Cam sat slumped in Peacce's lap.
Yawning every so often.
"I figured rabbit stew would be light so they can sleep." Rose smirked as she sat across looking at the two boys.
Liam sat with his brother.
"They are adorable." Rose smiled as Cam rested his head on his hand and lazily ate.
"Rose want to explain your mini population." Gabe chuckled.
"They just showed up one day.
They escaped a Dark city.
I didn't have the heart to turn them away.
They have been a blessing.
Some cook, some clean, garden, fix and build things, oh the inventors are fun." Rose giggled.
Gabe could see the mother hen was proud of her chicks.
Rose helped them all get settled in the great hall.
"Sorry you expected to have beds but they are all filled." Rose sighed.
Gabe chuckled and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Its perfect, still a place for them to rest.
What do you think of Rose Woods for your group?
Guardian Rose." Gabe smiled as Rose lit up.
"Your kidding right?
I have my own camp now!?" Rose gripped the front of Gabe's shirt looking at him with her emerald green wide eyes.
Gabe chucked and pulled her into a hug.
"Yes I think its about time you and Tobias have your own clan." Gabe kissed the top of her red hair.
"Oh thank you.
Toby guessed what?" Rose ran to her older brother who was smiling at her.
"What baby sister?" He teased as he hugged her.
"I'm not a baby.
Now we have our own clan.
Rose Woods.
I'm a guardian now so are you." Rose said excitedly.
Toby smiled at his sister.
"Thank you Gabriel we won't let you down." Toby smiled up at Gabe.
Gabe remembered finding these two  they ran away from Jones.
Toby was able to get access to their income and diverted it to a secret account.
But they didn't use it for their escape.
They saved enough allowance so they would be undetected.
Gabe helped set up the funds to go into the Eternal City bank.
"How are you two financially?
And supplies?" Gabe asked getting down to business.
"Nah we're good.
The safe is good as is the supply house.
But what would be good to have are some teachers and trainers.
A usual cook so the kids don't always have to do it." Rose smirked as Gabe chuckled.
"Already testing your guardianship?
Of course I was just about to go contact them.
They should be here tomorrow before we leave.
You'll also get med staff.
By the time I leave you'll be a fully functioning clan.
The leaders will be by to sign the treaty. I will have pinned to the tree so you don't have to do anything." Gabe explained as he walked with Rose back to her room.
"Thank you again Gabriel.
You done so much for my brother and I." Rose said softly.
"I see you found the twins." Rose gave a weak smirk.
"Goodnight Rose." Gabe gave her a tight hug and kiss on the cheek...
Rose & Tobias's past....
They arrived at the magnificent mansion the kids were in awe of the beauty and how huge the property was.
"Rose do you like horses?" Jones asked as he sat next to her.
Jones likes showing off his riches and so he has a fancy car and a driver.
"Yes I do." Rose smiled wide.
"I'll take you two to the stables tomorrow after breakfast.
Right now its late and you need rest.
Toby I had my decorator set up a room for the two of you to share but there is a room just for you when you want privacy." Jones explained as they walked in.
They were greeted by the most beautiful large collie.
"This is Lassie.
I got her yesterday for you." Jones smirked.
Toby had him figured out already.
He was buying their affection and trust.
But for his sister's sake he kept quiet...
The week was just as nice as their first night.
He took them shopping letting them buy whatever they wanted.
Rose asked for a rose garden and has been helping the Gardner who has been treating the kids like his grandchildren.
(He also helped with their escape and is dtill with them.)
The day finnaly arrived when Jones true colors started to show.
"Tobias Black get down here!" Jones yelled up the steps.
"Y-yes s-sir." Toby stuttered as he walked down the steps.
Jones grabbed him by the back of the neck and led him to the den.
"Why are your games all over the room?
I thought you like them.
Should I just throw them away!?" Jones yelled shoving Toby so hard that he stumbled to the floor.
"I-I d-do.
I-I was going to p-put..." Jones cut off the stuttering boy.
"Quit stuttering." Jones slaped him so hard he split his lip.
Toby froze in shock as tears silently fell.
"Clean up this room when your done clean the rest of the house." Jones ordered as he stormed out leaving the scared and confused boy.
As he started cleaning he heard yelling and screaming.
Toby ran upstairs to his room he shares with Rose.
Rose was behind the bed crying.
"What did you do to her!?" Toby shoved Jones but he didnt budge he picked Toby up throwing him on the bed.
"Look at this mess.
No wander your patent threw you away.
Ungreatful varmints." Jones yelled as Toby cowered on the bed.
"W-we were p-playing..." Toby was stopped again.
"If you stutter one more time I am going to beat the crap out of you.
You pethetic weak boy." Jones gripped the front of Toby's shirt.
He could smell the alcohol on his breath.
Now he knows.
Toby remembered one time his dad got drunk.
He was mean but not like this.
"Sorry." Toby whispered.
"Its okay.
I overreacted.
Let me help you clean up." Jones sighed.
Toby and Rose looked at him confused.
Toby didn't question it and just started picking up the toys.
Once they were done Jones left them alone in their room.
Toby checked his sister she had a hand print bruise on her arm but that was it.
Everyday was a rollercoaster ride with Jones.
He never hit them in the face again  once they landed the modeling agency.
Jones made them look like a perfect happy family.
Than behind closed doors he'd physically, verbally and mentally abuse them.
The gardener had it with all the abuse he heard from the yard.
He came up with a plan and got them out of there to Gabriel.
They didn't want to risk going back to their real family Bash took them once from them.
They didn't want to risk a second time.
Besides their faces were to well known...
Present...
"Rose you okay?" Toby whispered as he entered.
"I had a nightmare again.
The same one.
I can't even imagine what Cam and Johnny went through staying with Bash.
He was worse." Rose sighed as she watched the sleeping boys snuggled together.
Toby wrapped his arms around his sister.
"I'm sure they have their own set of issues just like us and just like us they have each other to help get through it.
I'm just glad to see they're still alive.
I always wandered what happen to them." Toby said as Rose leaned back against his chest relaxed in his embrace.
"They are something." Peace smirked as he walked up next to Rose and Toby.
"I wish we could keep them." Rose teased.
"They and yourselves are better off if they don't stay.
But I'm sure they'll visit as I know you will." Peace smirked.
Rose gave him a warm but sad smile.
"How are our parents?" Rose asked.
"Healthy they visit the bodyless graves on your birthday.
They say how much they love and miss you two.
You have two young siblings.
Philip and Peter.
Their twins.
Eight years old now.
Um..." Peace sighed which is very rare of him.
This concerned Toby and Rose.
"What's wrong!?" Toby pushed.
"The boys are on a field trip with their school, it a camping trip.
Same place as you two.
I think Bash might be watching...
Wait where you going!?
Toby!
Rose I'm sorry I only get the information and my orders." Peace explained.
"Its perfectly fine.
Toby will go for them.
I just hope he's not to late and he is careful." Rose sighed as she walked back to her room...
