Milton

I can't believe Eddie. I don't what's gotten into him but he has a sudden burst of courage. I mean we're usually the ones out off all the fighters. Only we aren't fighters, we're what you call cowards. Now, we are leading a rebellion of gladiators to the emperor's mansion. I don't know why but Jason keeps reminding me of Jack. The way he walks, fights, his cockiness and just because he looked like Jack. Based on my infers and observations, Jason is somehow related to Jack. Maybe an uncle or even a father, I just don't know. So following Eddie example I rack up some courage.

''Um, Jason...''

He answers to his name.

''How do you know Jack... I mean you look a lot like him.'' I say.

He pondered this for a moment, ''I'm Jack's father...'' he answered looking down.

Eddie must've notice because he lightly tapped Jason's back, encouragingly. For a moment, everything was peaceful until the mansion came into view. I don't have very good eyesight but I think I can see two people fighting and guards are everywhere.

Jason stopped everyone, ''there it is.'' he said pointing at the mansion.

''We need a plan,'' he said glancing at me.

I smirked, ''I got something but it might not work.''

Kim

This is so stupid! I have to run to get away from the guards, if I don't I'll get caught. If I get caught then I'll be used to their advantage. Then to make things worst as I run away I see a crowd of what it looks like, a crowd of gladiators split up. There is a tall guy along with 2 shorter guys. They see me coming, the shorter ones do nothing but the tall one takes action. He stomps and throws a right hook afterwards I heard a loud crash. I stop to catch my breath and to see where the guards went. All I know is that the place where they were is vacant and there is a hole in a building beside where I was running.

''Are you okay?'' the man asked.

I nodded and straighten my back as the short guys came over. I recognized then at that second, it was Eddie and Milton. When they reached me they must have recognized me too.

''Kim!'' they yelled in unison.

I'm tackled with probably the tightest hug of my life.

The man cleared his throat, ''sorry to break up this little reunion but we got to get position.'' he said, firmly.

My two friends nodded, ''wait maybe I can help.''

The man looked annoyed, ''how?''

I looked up at the sky, searching for Valiant. I get an idea. I put my fingers in my mouth and whistle as loud as I can. Afterwards, no one dared to say anything. When I was beginning to lose hope, something shot out of the clouds. Valiant was so quick, he made it to the ground in seconds. He walked a few steps closer to me, I rubbed his muzzle. The guys eyes grow wide while the man just observes.

Then the man looks at me with a slight smile, ''My name is Jason.''

Jack

I'm having a hard time trying to get Carson off me. I don't think he's stronger than me but then again he did punch me so hard I forgot my last name for a second. He punched me again this time with more force.

''KIM IS MINE!'' he yelled.

Rage welled up inside of me. He raised his fist for another strike but I get a hold of his wrists. Getting my feet from under him, with as much force as I could, I kick his chest. As I do I let go of his wrist, he doesn't go far. He gets away from me and that's all that matters. I get to my feet and get a hold of Carson's battle straps, holding him in my face.

''IT'S HER CHOICE!''

I punch him so hard he fly's a few feet back into the first few steps of Emperor's mansion. He struggles to get to his feet and when he does he feels his face. Blood slowly drips from his nose, his eyes grow wide at the site of it.

He acts like he's never seen blood before.

''How did... what...'' he managed to say.

He continued to touch his nose then look at his fingers. He finally looked at me but his eyes were no longer brave and confident. They were full of fear and hate. This was new to me and I let my guard down, I moved a little closer.

''I'm supposed to be immortal...''

''How-''

At the speed light, a bow fly's to his hand and he draws back and releases. I try to move but the black arrow hit my shoulder and it bring overwhelming pain with it. I stumble back and pull it out as quickly as I can. Blood flows out of my shoulder. I needed to get away from him to tend to my wound, Carson draws back again. I turn around and with all the strength I pull a wall up to protect me from any further wounds. I run as fast as my feet would take me toward the nearest house.

I open the door and slam it behind me. Dark blood continued to stain my body and clothes. My blood is darker than it usually is, that worried me. I look for something to help with the bleeding, I find a table-cloth. I wrap it around my shoulder tightly. I take a deep breath when I hear distinctive yelling coming form outside. I peek out a window and see guards running toward the mansion full speed. They are all yelling but what one says catches my attention.

''THEY'RE ATTACKING THE EMPEROR!''

Who's attacking the Emperor?

Eddie

Kim was especially helpful with finding a safe way other than the ways Milton and I knew. Once we landed on her balcony we all slid off Valiant and he flew away. We all carefully made out way into her large room but Kim kept lingering behind. Staring at various thinks in her room, she smiles a little.

''You okay Kim?'' I say quietly.

She nods, lost in thought. I sigh and grab her hand pulling her towards the door. She snapped out of her thoughts at my sudden touch and follows me to the door. Jason and Milton where outside checking out the hallway.

''What's up, Kim,'' I asked, ''you're all spaced out?''

''Jack and me were in here not to long ago... Everything was calm then...''

''Look Kim, we gonna figure this all out but you need to focus,'' I say, holding her shoulders.

She takes a deep breath and nods, making me smile. With that she opens the door and I follow as she meets up with Jason and Milton.

''So what's up?''

''We secured several parts of this house but there is a part we haven't even been in yet.'' Jason reports

''Its a start but we need to move quicker before reinforcements arrive.'' Kim replies.

''Don't worry guys we'll make it...''

We gotta make it.

A bit short I guess but here it is. I have a SoundCloud so follow me please. Don't forget to review and please be descriptive. Whoever is the most descriptive will get a sneak peek of the next chapter of Guardians: The Arrival. Bye for now and thanks for the love so far.-aNGEL
