Six to: Save? Or Slay? Book 3 (Finished)

Saving The Others

Blake had been trying to train Roxanne, but she refused to do anything...No matter how many times Blake kicked, punched...Or just beat her in general.

Blake was quite annoyed. He shook his head, angry with her. "My my...Must I bring Boris again?" Roxanne gasped and watched him with wide eyes. "Because I will if you won't corporate."

Roxanne was scared at first, but then she closed her eyes and was now getting angry. "I won't help you no matter how much you try." She whispered loudly. Her teeth clenched as she continued. "Nothing will make me help you! You are exactly like Boris...Even if he beat me, threatened me and everything else...I still killed him in the end." She opened her eyes and there was a glare. "And the same thing will happen to you, too!"

Blake let out a breath as he saw Roxanne's angry face. However, he didn't seem to care as he calmly walked over to her. When they were merely one foot away, Blake held up his hand to her, then slapped her across her face. Roxanne didn't fall though. She was determined to keep her ground, despite Blake's abuse.

When Roxanne didn't budge, Blake sighed and shook his head. "Stupid girl." He said. He took a step back, and then held his arm out toward her...The one with his strange, metal wepaon on his arm. Roxanne saw the electric come out of it, and the next thing she knew, she was curling up into a ball on the floor, moaning in pain.

Blake scoffed and towered over her. "That's what you get for-" He was cut off when someone had shoved him a few feet away from Roxanne.

Roxanne felt strong arms lift her into their arms and cradle her. Roxanne gasped. She looked up, and saw Walter. However, she knew she wasn't going to fall for that again.

Roxanne punched "Walter" in his face then squirmed out of his arms. She landed weakly on her feet, then staggered backwards away from him. "Walter" sighed with disbelief as Roxanne glared at him. "I'm not falling for that trick again!" She snapped.

"No! You're interfering with my plans!"

Roxanne turned her head, watching Blake get up. Confused, Roxanne looked from Walter, to Blake, Walter, to Blake..."What...?"

Walter frowned. "Blake...What have you been doing to her?!" He demanded.

Blake laughed. "Oh let's see here..." He started to list off everything in his head, making sure Walter couldn't hear. This made Walter mad though, and he quickly ran up to Blake and punched him square in his face. That punch sent him to the floor.

"Hurry!" Walter said as he grabbed Roxanne's hand.

Roxanne pulled away. "How do I know that you're not an illusion?!" She asked.

Walter sighed. "He really must have played with your mind..." He said. But even with Roxanne's protests, Walter grabbed Roxanne's hand and dragged her toward Alina, who was waiting for them in the back round. Next thing Roxanne knew, a light flashed in her eyes....And then, she wasn't in that Dark Realm anymore.

Roxanne's eyes were wide with confusion. Alex...Lia...Amelia...Erik....What were they all doing here? Or...Was this just another illusion? Blake was probably playing mind games again...

Roxanne shoved "Walter" away from her. "I'm not stupid!" She snapped, glaring at him. "Knock it off Blake! I'm not being fooled anymore!"

She saw the hurt look on "Walter's" face. But Roxanne wasn't buying it.

"Roxanne..." She heard "Erik" whisper. She whipped around toward him. He was frowning, and turned to Lia. "What happened to her? She's all...You know...Crazy?"

Lia smacked him in the back of the head. "Hey...The Element before her probably gave her a hard time...Like you and Zola?"

Erik had already explained to Lia, Alex, and Amelia about what happened to him and how he got out. But now, he should explain to Walter as well...But now was not a good time, for Roxanne seemed like she was about to kill someone. So Erik stood up and took a step toward her...Calmly. "I don't know what happened..." Erik told her. He took another step, and Roxanne gasped. "I don't know what he did to you...But we're real...See?" He patted his chest. "We're not an illusion."
