Hey guys. I know you're waiting for it and i decided that, in order to redeem Theresa, I might as well do it Mother's Day. So, here you go.


Chapter Twenty-one

Sonny and the other Russos raced through the halls to find the other girls looking around in confusion. "Follow me!" Sonny called to them all. They willingly followed the order, wondering what could be causing all the noise. Once everyone was outside, they all stopped to see a wild looking Alex glaring at her instructor as he sneered at her. She waved her wand and blasted him backwards. Justin and Max both ran up on either side of their sister and glared at all of the instructors that were coming at them. Justin waved his wand and they were all blasted in different directions, flying backwards and running in panic. Max waved his wand at the large wall surrounding the camp and it vanished, leaving the forest beyond open. Jerry, Theresa and Sonny began ushering the girls out into a large van that Alex had conjured that would take them to the city.

Sonny, helped the girls step up and when she got to Mitchie, her sister looked at her pleadingly. "Promise you'll be alright, Sonny?" the rockstar asked.

"I promise, Mitchie." Sonny agreed. "I'll be fine. I have Alex."

Mitchie nodded and hugged her sister good bye. "See ya on the other side, Sunshine."

"Meet ya there Mitchita." Sonny whispered, giving her sister a pat before closing the van doors and seeing it off. There was still a large number of girls left, but Sonny was sure that they were safe. Glancing to Alex, Sonny gasped in surprise.

With all three Russos waving their wands together, explosions were sounding everywhere. It was clear that Alex was the most powerful, her anger and fear fueling her magic. Many of the instructors were running around trying to stop the explosions and stay away from the three adults that were practically waging war on them. Suddenly, Mitchie and Alex's instructor appeared in front of the three wizards and charged at Alex. Faster than Sonny could blink, Alex slipped her wand into her boot and socked the man in the chin. He stumbled backward before glaring at her and moving forward again. As he threw punch after kick after punch, Alex matched his blows with her own, blocking his and making more marks than she was receiving. But the man threw a cheap shot, Alex fell to her knees with a grunt as the knife sank into her stomach.

"No!" Sonny screamed, running forward and cradling the fallen girl to her. Justin and Max were too busy getting the other girls to safety and tearing the structure apart to be paying much attention so Sonny stood and prepared for a fight. Before she could do anything, however, a figure stepped in front of her.

"Stay away from my daughter." Sonny blinked. Of all people, Theresa had been the last person on her mind to stand up for Alex.

"I'm collecting my pay, Mrs. Russo. If you don't mind, move." Theresa didn't budge and the man snickered. "Fine, I'll go through you." He made a move to push her away, but Theresa surprised everyone there by grabbing his arm and flipping him onto his back. Hard.

"You hurt my daughter." Theresa snarled, glaring at the man on the ground. "She is my only daughter." She delivered a punch to his gut and made him double over. "She is my baby. Yes, she may have been a trouble-maker and a pain sometimes, but she is my daughter." She kicked him in the head, causing him to groan.

"Yeah," the man laughed. "And I was her first, too. She was quite tight when I penetrated her. You kept her pure just for me, didn't you?"

Now Jerry was storming over; he lifted the man by his collar and delivered three quick punches to his head and a good solid blow to his stomach. "If it weren't for the fact that Alex is right there bleeding, I'd kill you. Right here, right now."

The man laughed loudly and Theresa slammed her knee into his groin. That stopped the man's laughter and he began squealing as his hands went to his damaged privates. As the two parents began mercilessly beating the Guatemalan, Sonny turned Alex away and began tending to her wound.

"S-Sonny?" Alex wheezed.

"Yes, Alex?"

"Sonny, it hurts."

"I know Alex. Don't speak, I'll try to make it better, ok?"

Alex nodded and let Sonny remove her shirt. Sonny's breath caught at the darkness of the blood flowing from Alex, but she pushed her nausea aside and began using her own shirt to clean the wound. Alex's breathing was shallow as she fought through the pain and Sonny finally tore her shirt to pieces, tying the strips together and wrapping them firmly around the stomach wound. Alex coughed up a bit of blood, but smiled weakly at Sonny as the lighter brunette helped her up. They turned to where Justin and Max were now having their turn with the instructor and Theresa walked over to Alex fearfully.

"Mija?" Alex glanced at her coldly. "I know that you don't forgive me for what I did and that you may never forgive me. You have every right not to after I sent you away like that. But Alex, I'm so sorry for sending you here. I should have listened to your side of the story instead of jumping to conclusions and there's no excuse for my behavior. I just… I just want you to know that I'm sorry, chica. I'm really sorry."

Alex stared at the pleading eyes of her mother and whispered, "I forgive you, Mom."

Theresa burst into tears and wrapped Alex in a hug. Instead of throwing her into the nearest wall, Alex wrapped her arms around her mother and cried as well. Sonny leaned on Mitchie as the two watched as Justin, Jerry and Max hugged their female counterparts as well. Sonny grinned at them and looked at the smoldering building triumphantly.

Glancing at all of the girls around them, she thought, Mission accomplished.


Sorry it's os short, but I wasn't sure what to do with it. I hope it's satisfying enough for a review though. :)
