Chapter 35

Alexis is sitting on her bed thinking about Jordan. She hears a knock on the door and says, "Come in."

She sees Alex walk in with his Confederate snow gear on. He looked pretty menacing, and yet, he also looked harmless. Until she sees what looked like a tattoo or something. It was a silver sword, but the handle was a black scorpion.

Alexis looks at Alex and frowns. "Yes, what do you want?"

Alex walks over to her and sits next to her. "Did I ever tell you the story about Alek and me?"

"No. What is your story about?"

"Well, long ago, Alek and I were best friends. We were the best of friends! Nothing could separate us! Well one day, we started to split apart. After a little while, we got into a fight and never spoke again."

"Well that sucks."

"Yeah, it does. But I have something to give you Alexis."

"What?"

"This."

Alex pulls out his pistol and fires at Alexis' arm. A tranquilizer penetrates her arm and releases the sleeping agent. Alexis begins to panic, but she suddenly falls onto her bed and falls into a deep sleep.

Alex picks up his radio and says, "Take her to the outer villages. That way she won't be able to mess with Curse's plans. And tell Niklos and Frederick to prepare the attack. But first, I have to send some forces on a little raid to get some people out."

Alek is in D.C. watching the people he has been taking care of panic and become a mass of chaos. He turns around and sees… "Isaac, please tell me some good news!"

Isaac side steps to his right and Alex, followed by three soldiers, who had a family with them.

Alek growls in anger. "You fucker! How… I hope you burn!"

Alex glares at Alek. "Shut up" and smacks him with the butt of his pistol. Alek falls to the ground unconscious.

Alex turns to Isaac. "I hope you had fun because you're going to a place where there is no fun. Now move! We're taking a chopper back."

Isaac looks down and starts to move while Kodi, Aleu, and Jenna follow behind him. Two soldiers pick up Alek and they carry him to the helicopter waiting for them.

Three hours later, the helicopter lands in Greenland. Alex and the three soldiers get out and escort Alek and Isaac to the prisons. Alex stays put and he waits for Jenna, Aleu, and Kodi to climb out of the helicopter.

Alex smiles at Jenna. "Madam."

Jenna looks at him and begins to cry. "Oh Alex! I… when you rescued me, I thought you were a murderer, but it was Alek. I'm so sorry! Can you ever forgive me?"

Alex nods his head. "Yes, I can forgive you Jenna. I… I have to tell you something about Balto."

Jenna frowns at him. "What's wrong? Is he… dead?"

"No, he's fine. He's just been missing for awhile now. I've been looking for him for months, but it's like he's disappeared. I'm… I'm sorry Jenna, but it looks like he's gone."

Jenna begins to cry again. "No! Not my husband! Not… not my dear husband! Why? Why did this have to happen?! Why did I let him leave?! Why?!"

Alex starts to console his. "It's alright. It's alright. Everything will be alright. In the mean time, we can catch up on the things we missed. Like, did I tell you that Kaltag, Nikki, and Star are in Alaska?"

Jenna looks up at him and smiles. "Thank God they're alright! Alex, I should have never called you a moron. You have such a kind heart. I'm surprised that you haven't changed."

"Yeah, heh… me too?"

Jenna frowns at Alex for a minute before making her way to the dark castle.

Alex sighs in frustration. "Good one Alex."

Alex walks into the castle and Curse frowns at him. "Who are these people?"

"Can I talk to you… in private?"

Curse nods his head and they both walk around a corner.

Alex looks at Curse. "Those people are Balto's family. The mother is Jenna, the son Kodi, and the daughter is Aleu. We'll use them as bait to lure Balto and the others here so we can finish them off."

Curse starts to laugh and Alex hands him a remote.

"What's this for?"

"You've never seen a detonator before? And you're supposed to be a king? Whatever. Anyways, that detonator will blow up the tons of explosives under D.C. allowing you to take over the remnants of the American Empire."

"If I want to have them."

"Oh, well then I'll take them. It'll give my forces an edge that we will need. Curse, we will have to be precise when we launch our attacks against the Brazilian and Imperial Empire. They have enough forces to be… a nuisance."

"Not for my limitless forces. I could just release them on my enemies and nothing would stop them from winning."

Alex sighs and says, "Well then I'll take over the United States and you can have South America. I'll just claim North America and we'll be in control of the world."

New York City, New York

A fifteen year old boy with medium length black hair is sitting in his house. His light brown eyes are watching the dark grey sky. He has a white scarf wrapped around his neck that also covers his mouth. His bangs barely covered his right eye. He is wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, Vans shoes, and there are two piercings in his left ear. He is also wearing a black hat with a white skull on the bill.

He looks upon the dark sky and frowns. "It was just sunny a while ago. What is happening?"

He stands up and hears vehicles approaching. He looks to his left and sees an armored car driving upon the road he's looking at.

As it passes, he sees on the side a white skull and the words "Don't die for your nation. Let the other son of a bitch die for his" as it drives by.

The boy starts to chuckle. "Well that's new."

He looks upon the horizon and sees that it's orange. He somehow knew that something was burning in the distance.

Somewhere near New York City

Alex and his forces are burning the werewolf masters out of their hideout. Curse had told them where they were and Alex was going to try to kill them.

Ruby and Balto are running out of the cave, trying to escape the flames. Suddenly, they hear shooting and they see Ryan get hit in the side. Ryan starts to scream in pain and they hear more shooting.

Dave runs towards Balto and Ruby and yells, "Run! I'll try to hold them off for as long as I can!"

Ruby and Balto nod before running over to Ryan and helping him escape. Paul runs next to them and helps out Balto so that they can get Ryan to safety.

Alex and his forces aim their weapons at Dave. "C'mon you fuckers! Try to kill me! You haven't got the-"

Alex and his soldiers open fire and Dave is getting hit all over. After all the shooting had ended, Dave is swaying back and forth before Alex and another soldier walk over to him and stab him ten times before throwing him onto the ground.

Alex looks at his men and shouts, "Death to the Wolf Masters!"

His soldiers start to cheer and they're cheering drowns out the burning fires of the Wolf Masters' lair.

A week later, Hunter and Daniel are riding their horses into Confederate territory. The American Empire had been conquered and D.C. had been taken with a threat. The soldiers all surrendered to the Confederacy and they became part of their forces.

Hunter looks at Daniel and frowns. "Who do you think the leader of the Confederacy is?"

Daniel shrugs his shoulders. "Hell if I know. Probably some piece of shit."

Hunter slowly nods his head and the rest of the ride is completely silent.

Alexis is walking around the town of Othello. She is trying to figure out how she got here. Last thing she remembered was that she was in California. She looks around and sees that the town is abandoned. It might have been a city, but the apocalypse turned it to rubble. She looks to her left and sees a white hybrid with silver eyes approaching her.

Alexis smiles widely. "Sarah! I've missed you so much! What have you been up to?"

Sarah shrugs her shoulders. "Just… hanging around. Haven't seen my boyfriend in awhile, though."

"Who's your boyfriend?"

"Why, his name is Jack. He's a soldier in the Confederate Army. He wants me to become pregnant. I'm only eighteen for God's sake. But you know how most boys are; can't keep their dicks in place, you know?"

Alexis shakes her head. "No, I haven't had sex yet. Alek wouldn't let me do it with anyone unless they were worthy."

Sarah's jaw drops in surprise. "Whaaat?! You mean you haven't fucked anyone at all?! You must be lonely because since I'm with Jack, I've been doing the horizontal bop!"

Alexis smiles awkwardly. "Well… that must suck if that's all you've been doing."

Sarah starts to laugh. "Been doing that too."

Alexis sighs heavily. "Oh my God. You are so weird!"

Sarah starts to laugh. "I'm kidding! I haven't fucked the guy yet. Though I have given him a BJ, but that was it."

Alexis frowns at her. "What's a BJ?"

"You need to get out more."

Jake is walking within the capital building. He opens the door that leads to Alex's room and sees Alex sitting at a table. He sees that Alex is leaned back and his eyes are closed. They aren't the look of pain, but something isn't right. He looks under the table and sees some prostitute underneath.

Alex opens one of his eyes and says, "Jake, I'm busy here. Get the fuck out. Talk to me later, alright?"

Jake nods his head and quickly leaves the room.

An hour later, Alex walks out of his room with the prostitute.

Alex smiles at her. "Well thanks for that. I felt so stressed out."

She smiles at him. "No problem babe. You know where I am when you need me."

She walks away with the two hundred dollars that Alex had given her.

Alex sees Jake and starts to chuckle. "So, see anything you liked?"

Jake turns and glares at him. "Fuck you."

"Oh, it's alright Jake. I accept you for who you are."

Jake sighs in frustration. "This is pointless."

Alex smiles at him. "So that's what you're thinking of!"

"Oh my God! I give up! The asshole won't-"

"Is that what you're also thinking of as well?"

"Mother fucker! Let me tell you what I came to tell you earlier. All the explosives underneath D.C. have been removed, you dick."

"Geez, you're easy to make fun of! Thank you though. I needed to have something to laugh at."

"Fuck you!"

"Is that what you want?"

Alex starts to laugh as Jake starts to fume in anger.

Alex is in his room lying on his bed. He is waiting for a call.

Suddenly, his computer starts to beep. He stands up and walks over to the computer and hits a button.

The message reads:

From: Sarah

Subject: Alexis

Dad, Alexis is with me. Do you want me to wait for you, or should I kill her?

Alex begins to type his message. Once he finished, he hit send and the message was sent to Sarah.

Sarah is sitting at her computer. Alexis had gone to bed and Sarah had sent a message to Alex. Suddenly, her computer beeped and she hit the message that appeared on screen.

The message reads:

From: Alex

Subject: Alexis

Sarah, keep an eye on her. I will arrive shortly to put an end to her. Do not let her leave.

Sarah closes her computer and smiles. Soon, Alexis will die.

Seven hours later, Alexis and Sarah are sitting in the middle of town playing cards. Upon the horizon appears a helicopter. Alexis frowns at it, and as it approaches them, she sees the Confederate insignia on the side. Alexis starts to panic, but it's too late for her to run as the helicopter is starting to land.

As it lands, the slide doors open and Alex steps out.

Alex looks at Alexis and glares. "So, the bitch is here. Well, let's end this, shall we?"

Alexis shakes her head. "I won't let you kill me! Fuck you!"

Alex starts to laugh. "Me? Kill you? Alexis, I'm not here to kill you, Sarah is."

Alexis frowns, but hears a gun cock next to her. She looks over and sees that Sarah is aiming a 9mm at her head.

Alex smiles at Sarah. "Good. Sarah, kill her when my helicopter is out of sight. And try to get out of here as fast as possible. That way you won't be blamed for anything."

Sarah nods her head, but Alexis shouts out, "Why do you want me dead?!"

Alex turns to her and smiles. "It's because I was ordered to do it by Curse, or as you know him as Jordan."

"No, no I don't believe you" Alexis yells as she's screaming.

Alex grabs a tape recorder and it begins to play. "Alex, I'll leave that up to you. Do whatever you think is necessary to make sure she doesn't try to stop me… us."

Alexis falls to her knees and begins to cry. "I… I can't believe Jordan wants me to be dealt with! Even after he told me he has feelings for me! Somehow, I knew he was lying! Sarah, if you do not kill me, I'll kill myself."

Sarah looks at Alex, Alex climbs into the helicopter. He looks at Sarah and yells, "Remember, when my helicopter is out of sight!"

Sarah nods her head and listens to the helicopter lifts off and starts to fly away.
