Sorry I haven't updated in a while, school is hell and it's going to get a lot worse.

Blair's PoV
I wake up in an unfamiliar room and my fight or flight response kicks in. I jump off the bed and face plant onto the cold, hard floor. I get up and then I feel it. The pain. The pain of my wounds, the pain of my fractured wrist that's in a brace and the sickening pain of a headache. I groan and touch the back of my head. I feel the large bump and recoil my hand. I look down and realise that I'm bandaged and then everything that happened last night comes back to me like a slap to the face. I take a large breath in and crawl to the door. I try to turn the knob while kneeling on the floor but I have no luck. I groan and rest my head against the cold wooden door. After a while, I try to stand. I use the door for support and when I finally get on my feet without falling back down again, I feel amazing. I start to smile but my jaw protests and pain spread across my entire face. I open the door and limp into the dark hallway.

Who's house is this? I limp against the wall and the a door on the right of me opens. Caleb walks out holding a tray with a bowl of soup. When he sees me, he drops it in shock and it falls to the floor. "What the hell are you doing out of bed?" He asks. "I- ow." I place my hand against my cheek and it stings. Caleb sighs and leads me to the living room. He hands me a notepad and a pen. "What were you doing out of bed?" He asks again.

I begin to write on the notepad: I was wondering who's house I was in.
He reads what I wrote and then stares at me. His eyes flicker around my face and then looks at my wounds. "You're in Jax's house." He says. I frown slightly. As if reading my mind, Caleb says, "He said that we could stay here." Caleb says. I grab the notepad from him again and write: Who said that you could stay here?
Another door opens and Jax walks out, when he sees me he smiles. "Sparky! Hey you're up!" He exclaims.

I dig my fingers in one of my wounds to make sure I'm not dreaming and pain erupts in that spot. I pull my hand away and stare at it. I see Caleb handing me something from my peripheral vision. When I look up I realise that it's a bottle of pain killers. He puts the glass of water on the coffee table in front of me. I open the bottle of pain killers and pour more than the recommended amount in my hand and then drink it down with the water. Caleb grimaces and takes the bottle away from me. Jax walks up to me and goes to hug me but I stand up and slap him. "What the fuck Jax, I thought you were dead!" I scream.

"It's probably best that you don't scream." He says. My throat begins to hurt and I sit back down. "And as you can see I'm not dead, the guy who you thought was me isn't me. He's a guy I hired to look, and act like me." He says. I glare at him and scribble onto the notepad. "How come you are who you say you are?" He reads out loud. Then he raises his sleeve and shows me the familiar tattoo with our names . "The lookalike didn't have that and he doesn't know that I call you sparky." He says. My glare doesn't soften until he sits beside me and then raises his palm up to show me the familiar scar that I have on my palm as well. "I am who I say I am." He says.

I blink back tears and hug him as tight as I can. After a while we let go. "Now let's talk about that ass who did this to you." He says making his eyes harden. I look down and stare at the brace on my wrist. "Look, I know that you care about him and you don't want to hurt him but he hurt you. He. Hurt. You." He says, his hands forming fists. "Yeah and he's my friend but I would shoot him if he comes near you." Caleb juts in. I look at him and smile, then nod my head. "You're welcome." He says understanding me. Jax gets up with a far away look in his eyes. "I don't want someone you loved turn into my sister." He says looking at his palms. "I- I think it's too late." I whisper. They both look at me. "It's never too late to fix it." Caleb says looking me in the eyes. I see something in them that I don't like. Hate.  "Caleb. You can't." I say, my voice sounding like gravel. "I can and I just might." He says his eyes darkening.

"Sparky, he's right." Jax says nodding his head. I take a deep breath in and ignore the pain. Then I slowly stand and nod my head. "Ok." I say. They help me to the kitchen and give me something to eat. Then they walk back out leaving me alone, unsupervised.

Caleb's PoV

"Jax, I'm calling them." I say referring to Sam and Millie. "Okay." He says sitting on the couch. I punch in the number on the keypad and press it against my ear. I hear the dial tone until someone picks up. It's Millie. "Hey, hows the traitor?" I ask. "Um, we have a problem." She says. There's a long pause until she speaks again. "He corrupted Sam." She says shakily. "HE WHAT?!" I shout. "No no no no no, this can't happen, how?" I ask. "I left him alone with Zack and then all of a sudden he walks in front of me punches me in the face knocking me out." Millie says. "So that means that Zack escaped?" I ask clenching my jaw. "Actually no, Zack is still here, tied up. He was knocked out when I woke up." She says. "Thanks, are you ok?" I ask. "Yeah. I'm good, I'm gonna torture that son of a bitch." She says hanging up.

"Jax." I call. "Yeah?" He says watching me. "Sam is corrupted." I say worriedly. "Oh shit." He says running into the kitchen. "Caleb!" He screams. I run into the kitchen and the sight is not pretty. Blair's head is on the able with her head in her bowl of soup and a dart in her neck.
"We have a huge problem." Jax says pulling the dart out of her flesh. He raises he head out and uses a napkin to wipe her face. Then he feels her pulse and sighs in relief. "Luckily she's alive." He says. He lifts her in his arms bridal style and carries her out of the kitchen. I close the window and lock it and then follow him out of the kitchen. "When I'm finished with her, she won't be able to feel pain." He says carrying her in the basement.
