Chapter 10: Stay With Us

Fabian's POV

I followed Nina the whole way. She kept looking behind her, to see if anyone followed. When Rufus brought her in, I sneak in from the back. I was about to enter a room when I saw Rufus enter it first. I quickly back up into the wall before he could notice me. He left the room quickly. I went inside after he left it. I see both Keith and Talia, but Keith walks away before I was able to bring them both out of there. I sneak up behind Talia and I grab her. She gasps and struggles against my grip. She was about to scream, so I clamped my hand against her mouth so she would only make a muffled noise. I see some rope on the table, and I bind Talia's hands with it. I drag her back to the house.

Amber's POV

I am about to leave the house, when I spot Fabian dragging Talia towards me. I walk through the door.

"What are you doing?" I ask, although I don't care much… I will be late meeting Alfie at the mall. I don't want to do that to him, even though he was only my date to prom. He tried to kiss me, but I wasn't interested. I'm glad that someone asked me even if it was sweet, poor Alfie. Oh well, he is a good friend.

"I found Talia at the warehouse where Rufus kidnapped Patricia. I went to bring her back here but she was fighting against my grip so I tied her up. Don't mention this to anyone," he says, walking through the doors, and I can hear him struggling to go upstairs.

Fabian's POV (again)

I lay Talia on the bed. I close the door and I lock it from the outside. (Yes, they also have locks on the outside, sheesh.) I lock the door with a key I found on top of the frame for the door. I rush back outside to the warehouse. I step through the back door again, discreetly and stealthily. I see Keith, but instead, I push him to the ground and jump on top of him to shock him. I grab his hands before he can react and pull him back up.

"What are you-" I cut him off by clamping my hand over his mouth like I did with Talia. Since he is stronger than me, it doesn't take long for him to break my grip. He starts to run towards Rufus, but I grab him again. I wrench him towards me, almost falling to the ground. I push him through the door and hold his hands together with as much strength as possible. He squirms the whole way back to Anubis house, but I manage to throw him in our room, and lock it. There is only one key for the doors, and luckily I have that key. This time, I run at full speed towards Nina, not caring if I get caught by Rufus, only wanting to protect both Nina and Cheyenne from harm.

Cheyenne's POV

It feels as if with every second, with every breath I take, my life is being taken away, zapped into nothingness. With every passing minute, the air becomes thinner and it becomes harder to breathe. I don't have much longer. I think as realization dawns on me through a groggy state of mind. As I was about to close my eyes and let this feeling wash over my being, it stops. Everything just… stops. I can breathe, I can think clearly, and the feeling of my entire being getting zapped into nothingness just stops. Truly stops. I open my eyes and see…

Fabian's POV

I barge into the room, and what I see infuriates me worse than the time Keith had "accidentally" killed my pet snake. I see Rufus silently walking to Nina while her back is turned towards Cheyenne. He is holding a large, sharp, and deadly, butcher knife. I run straight towards him yelling, "Get away from her you evil bastard!"

He turns towards me, one second too late. I tackle him to the ground. I grab his knife and throw it across the room. I kick him in the stomach, twice. Then again. It feels good to do this to the guy who has caused so many problems for us. I am just glad both Nina and Cheyenne are safe. When I turn to look at them, Cheyenne's eyes are wide open, her expression saying, 'he deserves it.' She bursts into laughter. I join her, but Nina doesn't. She gets up shakily. She falls; I catch her before her head hits the ground. We pause to just stare at each other. She grabs my head and kisses me. I pull away quickly and look away once I help her stand up.

Cheyenne's POV

I wake up to see Fabian yelling, "Get away from her you evil bastard!" He tackles Rufus to the ground. Pure hatred and anger are clearly shown in his eyes. He turns to me, seeing that my eyes are wide open. When I see Nina kiss him, my heart breaks for Talia. Talia!

"Where's Talia!" I query, shouting more than questioning.

"Don't worry. I put both her and Keith back in the house. They were acting differently. We should hurry back home. But first" – he reaches into Rufus's jacket pocket – "I found something!"

We surround Fabian, looking at the object in his hands. "The sun stone! It's the last piece!" I shout. I grab it from his hands. "We need to keep this safe. I have something to share with you when we get back to the house."

We reach the house, an awkward silence clearly evident among us. We walk to my room.

"Fabian, the key please," I ask, my psychic powers returned.

"Here but – how did you know I had it?" he queries.

"Just because," I reply confusing him. I unlock the door and expect Talia to jump at us. "Be careful when we step inside," I add. I open the door and wouldn't you know it – Talia jumped at us. I grab her and throw her on the bed. We rush inside, and Nina blocks the door. I try to calm her down, but all I got is a bitten arm. I guess when she's angry she bites? I get a feeling that I need to enrage her more – no, Nina needs to enrage her more. I hold her face with both of my hands and close my eyes. I concentrate on finding the things that enrage her. Her mind is blocked from me, and I don't know how to get Nina to enrage her.

"Nina, you need to make her angry. It's the only way I can return her to normal." I command, my voice stronger, confident.

Nina's POV

I try my hardest to make Talia angry. I tried to call her names, tell her she was worthless, but it was as though she didn't even hear me. I think hard, really hard. This time I try to remind her of the one person she hates most: Katelin Leland. She heard me this time, for her face got very red, and she almost knocked Cheyenne down.

Cheyenne's POV (A/N Sorry I'm flipping from one person to another)

"Perfect. Nina, keep talking about Katelin. It's working." I comment. I grab her hands while Fabian holds her still. I focus my whole mind to her. I put pure thoughts in her head. I remind her who I am, who we are, and what Rufus has done. I let go of her and fall. I regain my strength in a few minutes. I can see that Talia has fallen over on the bed. I walk over to her and wake her up. She seems pure again, but upon seeing me, she pushes me off her. Fabian grabs her and kisses her.

"I'm better now… sorry…" Talia says, mesmerized. "What happened exactly?"

I told her the story of how she got the rash, then how she became bad, then about me slowly getting my psychic powers taken away, to finding the sun stone, and ending with the kiss.

"Next, we have to help Keith," I say.
