Finally! I'm very sorry, I've been out of it but I couldn't upload because I didn't have internet.

He began to walk towards the door when a jolt of electricity shocked his body paralyzing him. His body slammed to the floor as he heard the old man laughing. "You sound as if you got an option. My creation, remember who made you and what is your purpose in life." Ray hissed at him. Frowning and sad, he knew it too. There was no way around it as long as that man had that control in his power.

Ray sighed for the thousand time that day as he entered the high school Alex Russo attendant to. He was here to kidnap her to make Yasha cooperate with him and come back.

As cliché as that sounds. He though as he examined another hall to determine a good place to take her, somewhere isolated and where nobody would notice if he suddenly jumped on her and take her against her will.

I guess this would do, for now. He entered a janitor's room in a semi-empty hallway that Alex normally used to skip, or so he heard. It wasn't hard to recognize her footsteps as they approached, not only because of his enhanced senses but she also seemed to carry a depressed aura around her. She wasn't her usual playful and sneaky self. I wonder how bad bro is. He wondered as she came closer, he waited patiently. She has to be close enough so there was no chance of escape. After all she is still a wizard.

And then when Alex was close enough he jumped.

Yasha exhaled heavily; he had received the note of that old man telling him that he had kidnapped Alex. Which didn't really surprise him much, he'd know something was up when Alex had skipped school and hadn't come directly to the wizard layer were he would have been reading another book full of spells; memorizing them.

Now he was walking down a dark street going to a place where he would have to negotiate with that old man; himself for Alex's life. He frowned bringing his hands up to his temples trying to rub away the headache that had been killing him for the past week, and he wanted to be mad, furious, but he couldn't, he was just too exhausted. That cold had drained him from every last drop of energy he had, leaving him barely aware of his surroundings.

He hadn't even told Alex's parents, right now he wasn't thinking straight, not that he cared. Maybe at the end it'll all work out. He though giddy.

So there he was in the middle of the street when they arrived, that old man, his brother, and Alex, his Alex. She was all tied up, and couldn't talk either. 'Typical' Yasha though as he mentally rolled his eyes 'he couldn't have been a little more original?'

"So Yasha" the middle-aged man said grimly "you've come to realize your place with me as my creation" he smiled wickedly, it made Yasha want to tear his head apart.

"Not really, but it's not like I have an option. Its either I come with you, or you keep her" Yasha nodded at Alex without looking at her; instead he stared at his brother. He didn't know why but he still had a small hope at the bottom of his gut that he would suddenly turn against the wizard, kill him and then everything would be okay. It never happened.

"Hand her over and let me take her home" Yasha started negotiating "then I'll come back to you"

"Ha! How dumb do you think I am?" the wizard asked. Yasha muttered 'very' under his breath "How am I sure that you'll come back?"

"Ray can come with me and make sure that I come" Yasha suggested.

Ray winced but didn't look at him, the wizard though about it for a few moments and agreed.

Ray took Alex with him and started walking towards Yasha, when they were close enough he took her in his arms and hugged her tightly. "Are you okay" he whispered and took the tape that prevented her from talking off her mouth.

"Yeah, I'm all right" she said and hugged him again clinging onto him.

"I'll take you home then I'll come back" he informed her while picking her in his arms "What? NO! You can't leave me! I love you" she said looking at him. He took off flying with her in his arms and his brother following him. "I love you too" he whispered.

They got to her house in a few minutes; he put her on her feet, and she looked at him.

"You can't go back, stay" she whispered again, he looked over his shoulder at his brother then back at her. "You know I can't. But I'll be back, I promise" he closed the distance between them and kissed her. Ray took the liberty of ringing the door bell and a bunch of noise was immediately heard. Alex locked her arms around Yasha, but he pulled away just before her family and Harper burst out from the front door.

"Oh my baby" said Teresa taking Alex in her arms. "Are you okay?" asked her father and Justin over and over again. "Yes" she responded all the times. "YOU!" her father exclaimed when he finally turned to Yasha, Yasha flinched. "YOU, did this to her!" he shouted throwing himself towards him to grab his neck, which Yasha allowed. "No! Wait it wasn't his fault. It wasn't his fault at all"

"Then who's is it?" he said turning back towards Alex who was surrounded by everyone's embrace. "We don't have time for this" mumbled Ray. "Yeah, you're right. But then again this is all your fault isn't it?" Yasha said in return, breaking off Jerry's hold as if it was nothing. And started backing away from the Russos.

"You come back here young man, I am not done with you, you hear me?" Jerry kept shouting at Yasha, he didn't stop him.

Ray hung a good five feet away from the family, hurt from what Yasha had said, but was soon recognized, "Ray!" someone gasped. Ray flinched but kept his eyes on the ground, nevertheless his face showed he hated being the bad guy.

"Hurry, we don't have all day right Ray? I mean, wasn't you who kidnapped Alex and started all this mess?" Yasha asked sarcastically, Ray winced inwardly. Harper gasped, and Ray saw her eyes watering just before turning away.

It was bad enough that his brother was practically throwing acid at him, but now Harper though that he was the bad guy too. Damn it all, why does it have to be this hard? Ray cursed and both experiments took off.
