(random pov:)

Brier woke up. No one was home except; Thorne, Sage, Bruno, and of course, her. She sat there a for second looking at Thorne. His arms were rapted around her waist, and he was sound asleep. Brier slowing untangled herself out of his arms, she tried to smile, but pain immediately shot through her jaw. "What are you doing?" Bruno asked, as he followed her upstairs. "I'm going to get a shower," she told him wincing. "How long was I asleep? And did Atlas say when they will be back?" "No, but you should be resting. You have had a tough day." He told her as she grabbed a clean pair of close. "Getting punched doesn't mean you had a tough day." "I would say that exactly what it means." The new voice startled Brier, she whipped out to see Thorne staring at her sleepily. "I'm sorry! Did I wake you?" She said, with a smile and trying her best not to wince. "No," he said making his way toward her. "Your bruise got worse," he said, gently putting a hand on her cheek and lifting it so he could see it better. "I'm fine," she insisted. "Plus a little bruise never killed anyone. But it can mean; I  could have a blood clot, a concussion, a broken jaw or it dislocated, or I could have Thrombocytopenia. Or the most likely of all, I got hit hard." She told as she walked to the shower. "What? Never mind," he turned around confused and walked out of the room. Brier couldn't help but smile, even though the pain made her want to cry, but she wouldn't.

(Thorne pov;)

I walked away confused, but before I finished my thought I could sense something wrong. I cautiously went downstairs, Sage yelled, "Throne run! NOW!" as she stood growling at three cloaked figures. One of them was holding a knife to a girl who's eyes were full of fear. "Amy?" "No, Hi Keefe, or I missed you?" Keefe said, pulling his hood off and started to look around. "Wow, nice place. But it's not what I would want. I'm thinking..." "How did you find us!?" I asked anger rushing through me, but I stood there trying to think of how to get out of this. But before he could answer an arrow flew past my head hitting the figure, who was holding Amy, right between the eyes. Quickly looking behind me, Brier stood on the railing  holding a bow and arrow, ready to shoot again. "Now the party is started!" Keefe said clapping as Sophie jump over the railing and landed beside me. Amy started to run toward us, but before she could make it Keefe used his telekinesis to lift her back to him. He put her right beside him, "Know to behave Miss Amy, or I might have to do something that's not too pretty. I don't want to mess up your sister's beautiful house."  (Thorne/Fitz is bold, Brier/Sophie Underlined.)

"What do we do?" I transmitted, not taking my eyes off Keefe."There are twelve more people outside, Keefe has eight daggers, twenty throw stars, and a sword. One which he just grabbed. He is here to get something or someone." "No one is going to die! Now I assume you have a plan, so tell me." I asked as Keefe continued to talk about his life. "Listen to him, he is a narcissistic sociopath. We listen, make him slip up if he moves one inch to the right, I can make a kill shot. But not till Amy is out of the way!"

"Hey! You too stop flirting!" He yelled, while rubbing the dagger across Amy's neck. She let out a slight whimper. "You're going to be fine Amy, just keep your eye's on me," Brier told her giving a slight smile. "How do you know that?" Keefe asked, looking at Sophie in a way that made me want to rip his face off! "Well, I don't think you would go through all this trouble to kidnap Amy, just to kill her. So tell me, WHAT DO YOU WANT?" She told him with such power and force. "Very smart. Wow, Fitz you sure got a smart one. But I have to break it to you, she won't be your's for much longer!" He said, letting out an evil laugh that made my blood boil. I moved Instinctively in front of Brier but giving her enough room to shoot.

Sage Pov:

I wanted to attack so bad, just to rip these guys' throat out of him, but Brier transmitted for me to wait. I could tell Bruno wanted to too, but we stood on either side of Brier and Throne waiting for the right moment. If we could just catch him off guard we will have 0.25 seconds before they  fully react to what is happening. "Now I am going to tell what's going happen. No one will get hurt if we just cooperate. Sophie is going to come with me and you will get Amy. Deal or no deal? I will only ask this once!"

BOOM!

While all this was happening, I'm guessing, that Brier had been using her mental energy and had plated it into the tree that had just blown up. This gave us the perfect distraction...... we thought. As soon as the tree blew up, Keefe slit Amy's throat and pushed her away just as Brier arrow went flying. And Just like that, a war broke out.

(Brier/Sophie:)

"NOO!" I screamed as Amy's body hit the ground and I let my arrow fly. I ran to Amy and immediately checked her pulse. He had made a false cut. He cut her but not hard enough, he hesitated, but I won't! I stood, looked at Thorne, nodded, and attacked. Everything was is slow-motion, I drop my bow and drew my dagger. Every motion I made hit its mark, ever swing had a purpose. Throne and I fought back to back, working together. Sage protected Amy as we fought. Keefe and a cloaked figure stood in the back watching us fight, but there were only five figures left, and then we would take him down. I kept my eyes focused. One breath after another, one stab, one swing. Just keep going, just like Atlas said. Then I saw it, the one opening and I took it. Running straight toward Keefe, I raised my dagger. Then I saw it, why he had this smile, a Melder.

The world went dim as I hit the ground, I couldn't hear a thing. Everything was ringing. "Brier! Brier!" I heard a dim call, but it was getting louder and louder. I wanted to go into the light, but the voice kept calling me. My eyes snapped open, my body felt numb but I commanded myself to get up. I sat up, all around me the people were fighting Thorne was fighting five, Bruno on three, and Sage on three, they called reinforcements?! Every free moment Thorne would look at me and yell my name. "GET UP BRIER! GET UP!" And I did, I got up and looked straight at Keefe.  The adrenaline was so much, all I could see was Keefe. Every move was swift and precise, like a dance I had done a thousand time. 

His face was dumbfounded and he aimed again, straight at my head, and pulled the trigger. I felt it hit me, it was like running through water. A thick fog blinded me, but I new he was in front of me. I pulled out another dagger and went to take him out...
