Tom`s lifeless eyes barrelled into his, drilling unwanted hatred into Alex`s consciousness. Nothing would be the same again…a life had been taken away, a special life, a happy life. And the owner… was about to pay…big time.

Flashback:

Red…Blue…Red….Blue…Red…Blue.

Alex…

..Tom….

JOHN…

A sadistic smile crept up on the old man's face. The rest of Scorpia had left him behind, proving their corrupt thoughts for each other. They had left him for dead…and the police, S.A.S; they were swarming in, guns clicked aggressively while clothes rustled restlessly and shouts ripped through the silent air as mass amounts of people tried to run or get closer...it was complete chaos

Mourning.

Tears.

Laughter.

John was still struggling venomously with him, but the man was beginning to seize the upper hand, he raised his murder weapon high, the evil metal glinting happily in the sudden gleam of light. But then…the lights went out…they just disappeared, snuffed out like a harsh wind to candle light. Alex didn't understand, all he had done was throw himself at the man with the offending knife a bottle opener in his right hand, ready to cause a blow that would most probably spill crimson liquid for one man. But now he was forced to try and swing his body in the opposite direction, but sinister darkness just filled his sight, pressing heavily into his eyes. The darkness was so impenetrable that he couldn't even see the knife that was aimed for his scrunched up face.

Closer.

Closer...

Close.

But Alex really wanted to know that his friends were ok..

Tom.

Promises.

Pain.

After all, he had just lost his brother…the closest thing he could get to one anyway.

Tom…gone…

Shaking his head inwardly Alex finally felt himself collide with something soft,

But…that soft ...

Smelt…

Felt…

Was familiar?

Why? Confusion blanked his thoughts, but only for a while as the events that took their turn next, would plague him until he would be screaming for the answer.

Alex`s body thumped into another, John's voice came out as an audible shout and he was pushed safely out of the way…but didn't that mean Alex was now under the …knife?

Alex panicked suddenly; he forgot to assess the situation more closely, if only he had thought…

His Brown eyes snapped open and screamed fear; he pushed against the solid form that seemed to slip into his own, his warm fingers pressing firmly against what felt like an iced fire? He desperately pushed away, feeling as though he was pathetically pushing against a strong wall…rather than a human. Alex lifted his head, reacting instantly…

Searching….

..SEARCHING….

But his breath was knocked out of him. And knocked out powerfully as he stared up fearfully at the eyes of his realistic nightmare…

The ice blue shadow…

Their eyes connected, and a powerful wave of emotions flitted between the two…something between deep understanding, worry…and something Alex only saw Sabina staring at Tom with…

Love….

Alex blinked and opened his mouth, but just as he opened his mouth…something scrapped into his back. At first it felt like a mere punch, one that John would usually do…but the raging ache afterwards signalled that it wasn't just a punch…he felt a coolness drip down his bare back…

Wait...when had his shirt came of…

And then…as if hell itself was alive and had decided to take it's revenge, a fire burned deep inside him, a tormented scream echoed from his gaping lips and then…his body went limp. Just as the world spun and colours playfully meddled together, creating a mess of vibrant and dull colours. But what scared Alex was…

That the ice blue eyed shadow had disappeared…

There was no sign of them…just an echoing darkness that forced its foul self onto Alex, snuffling any cries or whimpers that he may of wanted to emit, why did he suddenly feel so broken…so empty. Of course…there were many things on the teenagers mind, for example "What the fuck had just happened" "Why the fuck am I shirtless" and even "Damn, this floor is cold?" But the blade in his back wasn't being removed, and he sighed as he felt something leave his back. The screams of the outside world swirled together as the lights sprang on, suddenly painful light flooded everywhere and Alex was forced to close his eyes.

Screams….

"Alex"…

"Tom"…

"No, Never"…

"Why…"

"John…"

"Oh thank goodness"

"What are we going to do?"

"He`s gone into cardiac arrest"

"Don't go baby"

"STAY"

"John…Tom"

"ALEX!"

Alex smiled, a cold liquid spilling out of his raspberry lips ((A/N ooOOH sorry felt like writing that…heh!)) dully spilling its contents onto the scarred floor, connecting with the blood that already coated the teenagers crumpled body.

Never again...Never again.

Wait…Was that Jack…He smiled again, goodbye Jack, you were the best..." he hiccuped.

" What-ever-you-were but more of a…a…mum.

Like a torn silk thread… your life spins away.

Nothing but beauty really, inwardly Alex frowned. He felt a powerful wave of dizziness and re opened his eyes from closing them. He stared…watched shocked….disbelieving. For Alex Rider was watching a boy, blood spilling restlessly from an invisible wound on his body, as it looked? Bereaved people stood by, each had a sole tear dripping from their swollen eyes, hanging their head in respect or discomfort. Alex gasped when he saw a girl, not even 8, kneeling beside another bedraggled form, grabbing restlessly onto their arm, her restless cries stirring the air sadly around her. She looked up, and for the first time in a long time, Alex was taken aback. The girls eyes were deep blue, like a Caribbean ocean, her tears were literally swimming, her puffy eyes just brought out her innocence even more, and a terrible darkness dragged down on them…his fault?

Never heard of…never seen.

Then she let them take the boy away, she fell back and watched as her brother…Tom. That was it, how could he forget…he was taken away.

Blue….red…Blue…Red….Wail….Wail…..

Then Spikes of blonde…brown…crimson?

Max?

Alex`s eyed widened as he stared at the impossible, a boy lay smiling up at the ceiling, a woman skidded dangerously, hitting her knees harshly against the floor, the noise echoing slightly. Alex just gaped…not quite believing what he saw, not…understanding. The woman…she looked familiar? Joan…no Jack….

Jack?

He reached a tentative hand forwards, clipping her neck slightly but he just saw her shiver unconsciously, and picked up the form of the boy.

"Jack…JACK it's …it's me" Alex shouted, his voice wobbling slightly.

No one turned.

No one moved.

No one watched

No one cared.

No one heard.

Alex looked around hopelessly, feeling his gorge rise as the dagger slipped noisily from the boy's back, clattering loudly to the ground, but it seemed to clang louder than usual, sending vibrations up Alex`s small body. He felt a sole tear streak down his face.

but of course it was invisible.

`Cos it's your fault, your fault

Alex shook his head, but the fact was there, staring him in the face. Even as people piled around him as Jack cried into the boy's pale neck, desperately trying to try and hide in his ripped shirt it seemed…

She screamed and held; Screamed and held

People whispered, pitied,

The little girl in the red coat was back, holding onto the body now, tears flowing over their banks and dripping soundlessly onto the slipping form. An argument was ensuing but Alex forgot about them, forgot about everything because with fierce revulsion he realised…that he

Was staring at his own crippled body…

And what a mess it was

Alex was about to turn away, anything but watch as they took his body away from jacks threatening grip…

Anything but…anything but you

That was when. The girl's eyes connected with his, and a spark flew as Alex felt a stirring deep down in his heart. But the eyes that held his…

The eyes that were a cold blue…he felt fearful

The eyes that wouldn't stop staring, craving his soul it seemed.

The girls piteous eyes widened and her gentle lips widened and a piercing scream jolted through Alex`s body. Making his body jump violently, after a few seconds he jumped again and then…

Colours swept around, joining, separating, EXPLODING…loud and silent noises filled his body nothing made sense…but then the darkness crept up again, like a silent prey stealing Alex`s consciousness happily again…

All except

The cold blue shadow…and the ice blue

Eyes

****

The boy's body jolted. And his hand twitched gently. A relived wail filled the air as his mother saw this. Everyone seemed to release the air they seemed to of been concealing…but why? Why was there such a…a…a need to look after him. Sighing, the man moved his finger against his neck to check for the limp pulse. But not before he noticed the shock of blue streak past his vibrant vision.

"Ok Boys…move him out"
