it's been a week. an entire week. i've started recovering and my heart is almost pumping the normal amounts of blood. i should be out in the next couple days.

but ethan.... he still hasn't woken up. he's still in a coma. grayson and kingsman come to visit everyday.

turns out kingsman fits in extremely well. it's like he clicked immediately. but this just reminds me of max. i wonder whatever happened to him....i never saw him show up at the chamber place i was being kept.

did he escape the faceless? the last i saw him was with ethan that night in the street. he was different though. the look in his eye.....something i hadn't registered as the max i knew.

the door suddenly opens causing me to jump out of my thoughts.

"hey lex what's up?" grayson says walking in with a smile. he goes to hug me as usual and i smile.

"hey gray, how was planning today?" i asked.

"pretty good. we have evidence that blaine is in the area. i've talked to kingsman and he agrees." grayson explains.

"well if anyone would know how blaine works it would be kings. he's worked with him longer than i have plus after the first attempt. if he's still in the area, we need to track him down. hit him when he's least expecting it." i offer. grayson has an unsure look on his face. "what?" i ask.

"i have a feeling he's in the area because he knows we can keep tabs on him. he's waiting for us to attack. i have a feeling this is a trap." he concludes. my brain starts to think more in depth about it.

well if i were a smart scumbag, i would've gotten the hell out of town already. the warehouse isn't a secure location, along with the pit. he's being long overdue in this town so the smart thinking in blaine would've moved the next town over. cause trouble there instead.

"no no no you're right. he would've moved to the town over if it were any other circumstance..." i say still in my thoughts.

"any other circumstance? what's that mean?" grayson asks confused.

"when i was locked up, he kept telling me how he wanted yours, ethan's , and my untimely demise. he wants us dead. and he'll do whatever it takes to make that happen." i say.

"well, i'm willing to bet he's kept tabs on us as well. there's no way he's just sat there like a sitting duck waiting to be attacked again. he definitely has come up with a counter plan. and i don't feel good about this one." i feel a pit in my stomach as he says those words. me either gray. me either.

"has ethan shown signs of lifting from his coma?" i asked worriedly.

"no, but the doctor did tell me he's been dreaming this entire time." grayson says.

"dreaming? they can do that in comas?" i ask.

"yeah, so apparently they have monitors that keep track of his brain activity, and they can see the spikes increase in the use of his brain. the doctor described it as a dream world. basically, he's dreaming like life is moving on in his head. but usually it's a messed up version of reality." grayson explains.

"wow you really did your brain research." i joked.

"might just become a neurosurgeon, idk." we both chuckled before finishing our conversation.

*ethans pov*

"hey now i told you not to steal your sisters coloring book." she said in her angelic voice.

"but mom she ripped my cinderella page" the little girl whines. i really wish i could hear their names.

"ethan please help me here, don't just stand there." he whisper yells.

"uh honey, sometimes when someone does something like that, you need to be the bigger person and just move on. don't be vengeful princess." i said to the young girl who was now sitting in my lap looking up at me with the upmost adoration.

her sister enters the room with a pouted face.

"she stole my coloring book!" her stomping feet come to a stop and she looks up at me.

"daddy tell her to give it back."
