Remember when I said last chapter that Slade would be getting some company well he will in this chapter.


Ten

Sophia didn't know what she would find when she finally saw her sister but she sighed becoming frustrated when she saw her sister high on drugs in her bedroom scratching at her arm. She should have know that losing everything was not easy but she didn't for once think it would take this kind of toll on her. She saw the glare Thea threw at her and got ready for a fight.

"What do you want?" Thea asked crossing her arms.

"I want to help my baby sister," she said knowing she should have spent more time with Thea when she came back.

"Now you want to. You came back and I was so happy to have my sister and brother but both of you changed. I lost things too and you didn't care," the youngest Queen screamed.

"I have failed at many things Thea and I know I failed you but please remember Ollie and I spent five years in hell. Yes I found love but it didn't change what I went through or lost. I love you and I will fight for you now but you have to be willing to fight for yourself too. Come find me when you want to fight," she told her sister.

Sophia hated having to walk away but the only way her little sister would get help was if she helped herself first. She needed to be better for her family and for them all. It seemed she now had to deal with her twin as well.

~The Huntress~

Oliver punched the pole feeling so much anger and guilt. He should have done more to protect his twin, to help her instead of being hell bent on a mission from their dead father. He failed her which was why he pushed her away and now his little sister was suffering all because he couldn't let his family be hurt by his nighttime activities. Those five years taught him that he had to survive and sometimes that meant sacrificing a close relationship with those he loved.

"Do you remember the island, the day you met Slade?" His twin's voice asked and he turned to find her leaning against the stairwell.

"I had just been betrayed by Yao Fei and almost killed. He gave me a map to the plane telling me to survive instead I found Slade and then you," Oliver spoke both of them lost in memories.

Lian Yu, Five years ago

Slade examined the boy in front of him knowing who he was by his eyes. Those eyes were the same as the girl that he was training, the same as the girl he was falling for. He scowled as the boy finally woke up and started to beg like a child. He wanted to gut him there and then but he decided that he would give the boy a chance for Sophia. He was surprised that the girl was even willing to stand in silence out of sight though her glare was felt. He almost laughed when the spoiled child broke his hand just to escape his bindings.

"Well it seems like your sister you aren't a lost cause after all," he said shocking the boy.

"Hey Ollie," Sophia said stepping into the light tears in her eyes.

"Twin," he said hugging her.

Both siblings so glad to be reunited that they had no clue of the true horrors on the island. Slade grunted trying to ignore the jealousy that rose in him because he could not afford to fall in love right now or ever again.

Present

Sophia smiled at her twin as he looked at her. She knew he blamed himself for so many things including what happened not to her but Shado and Sara as well. He felt so much guilt that she didn't know how she didn't see it before probably too caught in her own pain but she needed to do something to fix this.

"We need to talk and I need you to listen til the very end," she told him knowing he needed to know the truth even if Malcolm didn't like it.

"Okay," he said softly.

Oliver had known the truth could change his life but he had no idea how bad it would be. Everything he thought he knew was wrong and he felt like he couldn't breathe. His family had so much pain and darkness surrounding them it was a wonder they weren't drowning in it but he would fix this no matter what.

~The Huntress~

Thea had gone out for a walk to clear her head to contemplate what her sister told her. She cried tears falling at having felt so much pain for so long that she didn't even notice the figures following her. She his in an alley as she dialed her phone praying her sister would answer but it came to voicemail.

"Sophia I'm sorry for everything. I know I suck at being a sister but I'll be better. I'm willing to try now. I love you," she said hanging up.

Her body felt weak and her arms itched so she knew she was coming down from the high. She closed her eyes wanting one moment of peace but startled when a hand closed over her mouth. She tried screaming, tried to fight but she was weak and she knew it. She felt the needle to her neck and then she knew nothing.

~The Huntress~

Slade opened his eyes and sat up hearing footsteps coming down. All he wanted was to wrap his hands around the throat of Waller and kill her. He sneered at her smirk as the door opened and a body was dropped. A soft groan could be heard making him look down. He was surprised at who his fellow prisoner was as her frightened eyes looked around.

"Thea Dearden Queen welcome to your prison. Hopefully Lian Yu treats you better than it did your sister," Waller said waving her hand.

Slade sighed as frightened eyes turned to look upon him. She was scared and he honestly didn't blame the girl one bit. It seemed his prayer for it to be anyone but Sophia had backfired on him because now her little sister was to endure hell and he knew he had to protect her for the woman he loved no matter what.
