Part 22
Bray sat on the cold ground of the basement of the Mall. He never thought that he would be a prisoner in his home again. He looked up and saw Tai-san and Lex sitting together. Tai-san had been crying every since Ebony was shot by someone that looked liked her. Is all Bray wanted to do was wrap his arms around Amber and be with his sons. It would feel so nice to have his arms around her again. But there was still something inside of him that said he wanted something or someone else. He could remember that fear he had when Ebony hit the ground. Then the anger he had when Jay had picked her up. But Bray didn't want Ebony or did he?
Tai-san sat in between Lex's legs holding on to his hands. She knew that something was wrong. Things just didn't feel right. She rested her head on Lex's chest. She could hear his heart beat. "Something's wrong Lex." Tai-san said.
"What do you mean babe?" Lex asked kissing the top of her head.
"Something doesn't feel right. Something with us isn't right." Tai-san said sadly.
"Everything with us is right Tai-san. Nothing will ever come between us again." Lex said making sure that his words where reassuring.
"Maybe you're right." Tai-san said still unsure. She looked up when light came into the little room. There was a girl standing in the doorway. She looked like the one that shot Ebony.
"Well isn't this just sweet." The girl said looking at Tai-san and Lex.
Lex just looked up at her. There was something about this girl that sent excitement through him. But then he remembered what he had just told Tai-san.
"So do none of you speak?" she asked.
"We speak. Just not to people who keep us prisoner in our home." Tai-san said glaring up at her.
"Oh well then in that case I'll take the food and blankets I'm suppose to bring you." The girl said smiling.
"Don't mind my wife. She isn't ever happy to know that her friend is hurt because of you." Lex said looking up at the girl.
Was this it? Was this why something wrong? Could Lex love someone else and let her brake up the marriage?
"Well in that case I'm Siva." The girl said.
"I'm Lex. This is Tai-san and Bray." Lex said getting up.
Tai-san just sat on the floor trying not to cry. This couldn't be what she was worried about. There was still something there that was wrong. But this Siva girl didn't help much to her worries.
"Here is some food and blankets. My sister wanted you to have them. I don't know what power she has over Ram but she hasn't changed since we where kids." Siva said handing the things to Lex. He was cute.
"Your sister?" Lex asked taking the things.
"Ebony. I do believe you know her." Siva said.
"Yeah. But you seem nothing like her." Lex said smiling at her. He couldn't help but flirt with her. He knew that Tai-san was sitting there listening to the whole thing but he couldn't bring himself to stop.
"Thank you I think." Siva said turning to leave.
Lex tossed a blanket and food over o Bray and then sat back down next to Tai-san. He looked over at Tia-san and handed her some food and a blanket. "You need to eat." Lex said putting the blanket over her legs.
"It's good I know that you remember I'm here." Tai-san said taking the food and the blanket and moving away from Lex.
"Tai-san come on." Lex said pleading.
"Not until you realize that you have a wife." Tai-san said sitting down next to Bray.
"Tai-san you should just talk to him. Maybe he has a good reason for hitting on another girl in front of you." Bray said.
"Maybe he does and maybe I don't want to hear it right now." Tai-san said laying down on the ground. She pulled the blanket up as far as it would go before her didn't cover her feet. Soon enough she was in a peaceful asleep.
Jay walked along the empty hallways of the mall. He stopped when he heard something behind. He turned around and saw Ram. "Is there something you need Lord?" Jay asked.
"Yeah. I forgot to ask you. Is something going on with you and Ebony?" Ram asked smiling at him.
Jay knew if he said yes Ram would have him deleted. But if he lied he would feel guilty. "What do you mean?"
"Are you sleeping with her? Are you dating her? You seem close to her and I want to know how close." Ram said sternly.
"Yes lord Ram we are close." Jay said trying to avoid what he wanted to hear.
"Are you with her Jay?" Ram asked.
Jay didn't know what to say. He knew what would happen and he knew better than to upset Ram. He wanted Ebony and was going to get her even if he was standing in the way. "No my lord." Jay said softly. He could feel a sharp pain when he said that.
"Good you may go now." Ram said leaving with a smile. He had gotten Jay to say what he wanted him to say. Now came the problem of getting Ebony.
Jay walked back into the room to see Ebony tossing and turning in bed. Jay walked closer to her and saw the tears streaming down her face. "Ebony wake up." Jay said grabbing her by the arms.
Ebony opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Jay above her.
"You okay?" Jay asked sitting down on the bed with his hands still on Ebony's arms. He didn't want to let go of her because he was afraid that it would be for good.
"Jay what's going on?" Ebony asked. She could see past the look that was on his face. He was worried about something.
"Ram likes." Jay said slowly.
"You told him now, right?" Ebony asked looking up at him. Ebony could feel more tears run down her face when Jay didn't say anything. "How could you not tell him Jay?"
"Ebony you need to get out of here now." Jay said letting go of her.
"No really?" Ebony asked. "Java was right. You don't care for me. You're just like Zoot only he did love me." Ebony said getting up. She head for the door.
"Where are you going Ebony?" Jay asked getting up and following her.
"What does it look like Jay. I'm going to walk right out the front door and never look back." Ebony said peeking her head out the door and watching the cameras. She made her way down the hallway without being seen. She was keeping her fingers crossed that they didn't know about the broom closet.
Jay just walked down the hallway like it was nothing big. "Ebony don't leave like this." Jay said following her into an empty room.
"Jay will you leave the Techno's and come with me?" Ebony asked looking up at him.
"Ebony I can…" Jay said but was cut off by Ebony.
"That's what Java told me. She said that you would never leave the Techno's. That they give you what you wanted and more. But if you're with the Techno's you can't have everything. You can't have me." Ebony whispered with anger in her voice. "Go back to the room you'll share with my sister and forget about me." Ebony said before moving back down the hall way again. She knew that it wasn't over when she heard Jay come after her. She stopped in another empty room.
"I'll never share a room with your sister." Jay said grabbing her arm and making sure she was looking at him. "Damn it, Ebony don't you get it."
"I guess I don't Jay. You're the one that won't come with me because you love your dumb tribe to much." Ebony snapped trying to pull her arm away but Jay just tightened his grip. Ebony let a flash of pain go across her face. "Jay let go you're hurting me." Ebony said.
Jay slightly let go of her arm. "That's the thing Ebony I don't want to hurt you. But it's kinda hard when you're being so headstrong." Jay whispered.
"Jay you don't want me with Ram but you don't want to be with me. Why in the hell do you even care?" Ebony asked.
"Because I love you Ebony." Jay snapped.
Ebony slowly let her anger disappear when she heard him say that. That was the first time that he had said that to her and she believed that he meant it. She let a small smile come across her face. But then she remembered that if he did love her then he would come with her. "Then come with me Jay."
"Ebony I want to but I can't." Jay said looking down at her. "I have to be here for Ved."
"Ved's a big boy Jay, he can take care of himself. Or maybe you don't remember but all of this is his doing." Ebony whispered back at him.
"Ebony I don't want you to leave because I don't want to lose you." Jay said.
"But if I stay you will lose me. So no matter what I do you're going to lose me. Anyways if I did stay I might as well just want to marry that Ram guy. Maybe he'd love me more than you." Ebony whispered.
"Ebony please don't make me do this." Jay said.
"You can't stop me from leaving Jay." Ebony said pulling her arm away but there was no success. She found herself over Jay's shoulder walked down the hallway. She began to kick and yell.
"I told you I didn't want to do this Ebony." Jay said putting her down in front of a door. "I want to stay with you in your room."
"Jay what are you doing? You the one that told me I had to get away." Ebony said looking up at him.
Jay opened the door and pushed Ebony inside. He then closed the door and locked it.
"And he said he loved me." Ebony said slowly falling to the ground.
"I'm sure he does." Someone else said.
Mackenzie slowly made her way down the hallway. She smiled when they reached the unguarded door and slipped outside. They were for once free.
"Mackenzie this isn't going to work." Stephanie protested.
"If you shut up it will." Mackenzie said as they slowly made there way away from the mall. "Now was that so hard?" Mackenzie asked putting Lane down.
"No I guess not. Now let's get home before they do get us again." Stephanie whispered.
Part 23
"I know your king loves you. He's watching you." The person said.
Ebony could feel the chills go down her body when she heard that voice. She could feel the fear rise in her. She stood up and backed up against the wall. "Why are you here?"
"Same reason you are." The person said standing up and walking towards her. "But I never thought I would see the queen of the locos locked up, well at lest like this."
"I'm no ones queen anymore and you know that." Ebony said with more fear in her.
"Ebony you know power and chaos lives in you. It runs through you vanes. I know it is still in me." The person said with an evil smile as they came closer.
Ebony turned to the door and started to pound on it. "JAY! JAY!" Ebony yelled as tears filled her eyes. She kept pounding on the door until she felt the hand on her back. The person turned her around and put his hand around her throat.
"I should have finished you off the first time!" the person said in a low voice as it began to squeeze her neck. But it stopped when the door opened and a tall figure stood in the door.
Ebony started to cough when he let go if her neck. Tears where still running down her cheeks when she felt around hand on her shoulder. She tried to pull away put she turned to see Jay. She walked right to him and let him put his arms around her.
"Guards I'll let you deal with him. If it isn't good enough then have him deleted." Jay said picking Ebony up like a baby.
"Don't kill him." Ebony said holding her throat. "He knows something I need to know." Ebony said weakly.
"Zap him and chain him to the wall until she talks to him, then I want him gone." Jay said before leaving. He walked back to Ebony's room and placed her on the bed. "Ebony I'm sorry I didn't know anyone was in there."
"He would have killed me this time." Ebony taking the glass by the side of her bed.
"What do you mean this time?" Jay asked sitting next to her.
"I know him. It all happened along time ago." Ebony said after she took a drink of water.
"I'm so sorry." Jay said hugging her. "I almost lost you by trying to keep you. But why would you want to talk to him again? What could he know that you need to know?"
"Just something that I need to know about my past." Ebony said taking her top off and getting into bed. "The sun is going to be up soon." Ebony said wiping the tears from her face.
"Yeah I guess we should get some sleep." Jay said getting up. "I'll have a guard outside your room." Jay said.
"Jay, stay. This might be the last time I ever get to fall asleep in your arms." Ebony said looking up at him still scared.
"Don't say that Ebony." Jay whispered as he got into the bed. "I won't lose you yet. I can't do it."
But Ebony didn't hear him because she was already asleep.
Ram woke up early the next morning. He had a lot to do today. He had Java help him into his chair and headed to the control room when he saw Ved.
"Lord Ram, we've had problems." Ved said looking down at him.
"Okay what are they?" Ram asked.
"Four of the prisoners got out last night and Ebony was attacked by another prisoner." Ved said.
"What the hell was Ebony doing in a room that had other people in it?" Ram asked with anger.
"Jay put her in there but then got her out, lord." Ved said.
"Well then have to prisoner deleted." Ram said like it was nothing.
"Jay was going to last night but Ebony wanted to talk to him before that happens." Ved said filling him in.
"Okay well then what needs to be done will be done. Now what about the four that got away?" Ram asked. "Do we need them?"
"We do need to girl Mackenzie. She is strong, fast on her feet and very smart." Ved said thinking back to the last time he saw her on the beach.
"Okay well then get them back!" Ram shouted. "Do whatever you have to do and get her back."
"Lord she has kids with her. She would do anything for their safety." Ved stated.
"Then take the kids and she will come." Ram said.
"Yes Lord Ram." Ved said before leaving.
Ram smiled as he thought about Ebony. She was so brave unlike her sisters. But she didn't seem to have as many brain cells as they did. Although from what he saw last night she had many more than most people in his tribe. How she stuck up to him before she found out what he was going to do with her. Then how she walked away holding back anger. Then when her own sister shot her and she fell so gracefully to the ground. She was perfect in every way. Ram headed down the hallway to the room that Ebony was in. The door was shut. He reached up and turned the doorknob.
Ebony laid almost naked on top of Jay. Her face was towards the wall and her legs where in between Jays. Her legs where covered by a sheet and her light blue shorts where up to high that you could see her underwear. Her bear back was kept warm from Jay's loving arms around her.
Jay smiled when he looked down at what he had. She was the most perfect thing on earth. He kissed the top of her head and looked back up at the ceiling. He knew that he should have been up hours ago working to get the city ready but he wanted to make sure that Ebony woke up in his arms and no one else. He knew that this might be the last time they would get to wake up to find each other in bed together, so he wanted her to get her last chance as well. He looked over at the door when he heard something move outside of it. He closed his eyes in hope that whoever it was would let him stay there longer.
Ram pushed the door open only to see what looked like Jay and Java in bed still sleeping. Sure he knew that she was cheating on him but there was nothing he wanted to do about it. He smiled as he closed to door and headed back down the hallway to find his new love Ebony.
"I hate her. I hate her. I hate her." Java said looking down at her sister.
"Java calm down. Ebony didn't do anything wrong, Jay did." Siva said.
"Ebony always has to take what's mine. She can't just stay out of the way can she?" Java asked with anger. "I hope Ram gets rid of her soon. Because if he doesn't she will bring him down along with us."
"Maybe she's changed." Siva said trying to think on the positive side of things.
"Oh stop it Siva. This is Ebony we're talking about. She can't change. She doesn't know the meaning of the word." Java said. "If we aren't careful she'll take over just like she did with Zoot."
"That is true but what if she doesn't want that. I mean she did try to walk away last night but you just had to shoot her. Think about it Java she could be gone right now and you could be with Jay telling him about how bad she is. Only if you hadn't shot her." Siva said shaking her head.
"So you really think Ram would have let her get away?" Java asked.
"Yes I do! Ram knew that she wouldn't leave the city and that most of the people would be taken the next day so there would be no point in keeping her because she would come back." Siva said getting up out of the chair. "But now we have to put up with her because of you."
"AAAHHH!" Java shouted as she stormed off. She hated it when she knew that her little sister was right.
Danni woke up to the screaming of Johnny. She slowly got out of bed and walked across the room. She looked down at her baby boy. She smiled when she picked him up. "What's wrong big boy?"
"Daddy." The little boy cried.
Danni held him as she rocked him back and forth. "Daddy isn't here right now sweetie." She said. She knew that Bray was in trouble but she had to think of Johnny now. If something happened to her Johnny would have no one left.
"You want me to take him?" Pride asked standing in the door away.
"That would be great." Danni said handing her baby to her brother. "I just hope that Bray comes back soon. I'm really worried."
"He'll be back. And if not then we'll go look for him. I'm sure that Amber is worrying just as much as you are." Pride said.
"Yeah, yeah Amber. It would be nice if you would stop reminding me of her." Danni said sitting down on the bed.
"Danni get over. I thought you had a thing for that Sasha guy?" Pride said.
"I did but I haven't seen him for almost four months." Danni said letting her mind wonder back to all the time they would spend talking.
"Anyways. I came to tell you to get ready. We're going to the farm today." Pride said. "I'll go feed my favorite nephew while you pack back up."
"He's your only nephew." Danni shouted as he left the room. She rolled her eyed and got up and started to back everything back up. It didn't take her too long because she didn't get much up the night before. When she was done she grabbed the four bags and downed down to the entrance of the hotel. She saw that almost everyone else was packed and sitting out there. "Well don't we all look happy today."
"Danni have you seen your brother?" May asked.
"Yeah he's feeding Johnny before we leave." Danni said smiling at the girl in front of her. May had always been her favorite girl that Pride had dated.
"Okay thanks." May said taking off as fast as she came.
"Where's Amber?" Danni asked KC.
"Still pouting in her room because Bray didn't come back last night." Patsy said putting her coat on.
"You mean he isn't back yet?" Danni asked. "What about Tai-san and Lex?"
"Nope. No one has seen them." KC said.
Now Danni was even more worried. Sure she wasn't to fan of Lex or Ebony but they all should have been back by now. What could have happened to them?
