"Stay here, Alex. Don't go anywhere," A reassuring voice said.

Alex opened his eyes. He wasn't feeling pain, he wasn't tired or hungry. He just felt good

.

Alex looked at the woman. He knew her only from the few pictures as his mom.

"What happened?" Alex asked confused, the last thing he remembered before he blacked out was Nat being forced to beat him.

Alex looked around. He saw that they were still in the suite. Nat knelt devested by Alex's hanging body.

"Nat killed you," His mom said, she found it difficult to watch her oldest son being forced to kill her youngest. She couldn't imagine the guilt Nat must have been feeling.

"Alex, I have to talk with you, before they bring you back to life," his mom said.

Alex looked outside, he could see flames a couple of floors down and could see the flashing lights of many fire engines that raced to the scene.

"So I'm not dead for good?" Alex asked, turning back. Nat was desperately shaking Alex's body trying to wake him up and he found it difficult to watch.

"No, but when you are brought back, you will immediately be in more pain than you have ever been in before, but you have to be strong Alex, you have to perform in this city Alex," His mom told him.

Alex nodded, subdued as he watched his brother lose it.

"Is Nat going to be ok?" Alex asked.

"I know you're angry with me Alex. I can't answer that question as I don't know, and I couldn't talk to you before as I can only do so when you're dead. I have tried to look out for you Alex. I gave that man the inspiration to buy a phone in that shop, leading to him finding you, I did what I could Alex. I am always looking at for you Alex, I will always love you" His mom answered.~

Alex went to answer, when he suddenly found himself in the worst pain he had ever experienced. Alex began to scream loudly and constantly in pain. He was still upside down, he felt blood, pouring down his face from his mouth and nose, blood ran through his hair and pooled on the floor underneath him.

Alex thrashed violently around as he tried ease the pain but it just made it worse.

Simon had arrived and had untied everyone, except Alex. Everyone wanted to help Alex, but no one could do anything.

They were distracted by the door being kicked down. A lone fire fighter stood there. He saw the ropes, the chairs, and the rope burns around everyone's wrists. Simon shifted abit, and he then saw Alex dangling from the rope.

He grabbed his radio.

"Mayday! Mayday! Ladder 95 Portable three to command,"

The radio cackled back shortly.

"Ladder 95, Portable 3 reading your Mayday. Proceed."

"I am on the 17th floor, I have numerous civilians who need out, I have one who is unable to move and appears to have been tortured."

"Stand by we have two companies responding 1 medic responding."

3 minutes later, Alex was still screaming in pain as he was finally cut down and lowered onto a stretcher. Everyone else had been escorted out from the building.

"Alex try and stay still, I know it hurts, but we don't want you falling of the stretched," The original firefighter said, as he lifted the feet side of the stretched.

Alex did the best he could not to move around. He wished he didn't have to feel sore. The medic continued to keep an eye on Alex as he they carried him down stairs.

Thankfully the fire was on the opposite side of the building. They burst out transferred Alex to a waiting Ambulance stretcher, before he was quickly put in the back of an ambulance and rushed to hospital.

He was induced in a coma before they arrived and he was immediately rushed to surgery.

Everyone struggled to deal with the emotional side of things. Nat felt so guilty he had considered suicide. He couldn't believe he had killed his brother, even if it was only temporary. They all went through counselling while Alex recuperated.

Alex stayed comatose for two weeks and endured 12 different operations. Mostly reconstructing his face. Thankfully the surgeries were hugely successful and due to major advances he looked just like he did before hand.

In New Orleans Qaasim and Little Grace were watching the Simpson's.

"We interrupt this programme for some breaking news, we head now to Vancouver with Shane Larson talking with Abigail Warrick."

"We are live, in front of the Vancouver Views hotel. A 2nd, 5th Alarm has been raised to deal with the massive blaze behind. The story is even hotter as we learn of yet another brutal attack on Alex Wolff. Abigail…"

Abigail looked visibly shaken and upset as she began to report.

"Sharon Mendez, who broke out of prison yesterday, tonight kidnapped several members of the delegation while I was preparing my report at the studio. Despite this only one person received injuries. I have been told that Alex was dead for a period of time, I have heard he was successfully revived and is currently in surgery. Sharon Mendez was shot and killed as she tried to escape the building."

Qaasim roughly threw all his stuff in a bag, he found the rest of the band outside.

"We need to go to Vancouver," He said seriously "Alex is in hospital," Qaasim said.

Everyone stared at him.

"What happened?" David asked.

"Juanita's aunt tried to kill him again." Qaasim said.

There was no more talk, they all set about getting their stuff.

It was six hours later, when they arrived at the hospital, Alex was in a coma and everyone else was in shock. Nat didn't know how he could go on.

"Nat, are you ok?" Rosalina said relieved running up and hugging Nat.

Nat pushed her away.

"I don't deserve it," Nat said depressed.

"Nat how many times do we have to tell you, it wasn't your fault," Mr Wolff said trying to comfort Nat. But Nat refused to let himself be comforted.

"I killed him," Nat said as he struggled to contain himself.

"Nat you didn't kill him…" Cooper interjected.

"Juanita's aunt told me, that if I hit what she told me to hit, no one would get hurt. She blindfolded me and put ear plugs in my ears, and walked me into the suite," Nat said on the verge of tears.

"Nat you didn't know…" Mr Wolff tried to reason with him.

"I killed him, she told me to swing and I did, she told me again, and again. I then hit him in the head and he died," Nat said as he burst out crying.

Rosalina went and gave Nat a tight hug. They learnt how the rest of them had been forced to watch and how Alex for the 2nd time had become a piñata.
