Desperate Measures
Brenda Barrett sat sobbing on the couch in the cottage, she was losing Luis and maybe it was too late to do anything about it. She truly loved him with all her heart and the only reason she came back was to make sure that Sonny and Jax were both happy in their new lives.

When she found out that Sonny was married to Carly and that they had a son she knew that he was happy and had moved on to a new and better life. Then there was Jax, he was getting married to Skye, a Quartermaine, she had always been fond of the Quartermaine's and knew that Skye could give Jax the life he wanted.

That was all she came for and now her plan was destroyed, not because of but, thanks to Skye Quartermaine. Jax had betrayed her and she went seeking revenge, the revenge landed her in the arms of Luis and now she was going to put up on hell of a fight in order to get what she wanted.

She had a plan, a great plan and now it was time to put it into action, with or without the help of Jax.

At the Lakehouse, Skye and Luis had just arrived home from the PC Grille, when there was a knock on the door, Skye made her way to the patio door and slowly opened it, revealing Jasper Jacks.

"What do you want?" Skye asked as if it was painful to talk to him.

"To talk with you" He smiled, "Alone"

Skye shot a glance to Luis and then back at Jax, "Whatever you have to say, you can say infront of Luis, we have no secrets".

"Fine, Skye, I don't love.........." He was stopped mid sentence as the door flung open and Brenda walked in.

"Listen up, I'm going to do the talking and all of you are going to listen".

"Brenda, what are you doing here?" Jax asked

"I have something to say" Brenda announced

"What's that?" Skye asked

"You know what Brenda, why don't you just leave, get out of here, you've caused enough trouble already". Luis responded.

Brenda's voice was childish, "No, I don't think I have, not yet anyway".

"What's this about Brenda?" Luis asked

"What's this about? What's this about?" She repeated, "This is about sacrifice"

"Sacrifice?" Jax questioned

Brenda walked towards Skye, "Yes" She grabbed Skye by the arm.

"Let go of me" Skye demanded

Brenda made a swift movement behind her back, Skye felt something cold press into her lower back, in response she gasped.

"Luis" She cried out.

The room fell utterly silent as everyone clued into what was going on, Brenda was holding Skye at gunpoint and if she snapped Skye was a dead woman. Then it hit Jax, in Skye's moment of need, a possible life and death situation she called for Luis Alcazar to help her. Luis somehow remained calm, "Brenda, you don't want to do this"

"Yes, I do"

"Come on Brenda, let Skye go, you don't want to hurt her" Luis coaxed

"There's where you're wrong, I do want to hurt her because if I kill her then she's out of my way and I can have whatever it is that I want".

"Brenda, what do you want?" Luis asked

"I want Skye, dead"

"Why?" Skye whispered

"Because, you have ruined my life, don't you get that, you have made my life a living hell and now you're going to pay rather you like it or not".

Skye was angry now, she had never provoked Brenda to do anything to her, Jax left her for Brenda, Luis came on to her, not the other way around, she was not about to let Brenda have control of this situation. "You know what Brenda, maybe I meant to ruin your life".

"That's not helping you Skye". Jax spoke up

"Shut up" Brenda and Skye both screamed in unison.

"Hey, I make the rules here" Brenda stated

"Oh, you've completely lost your mind". Skye responded

"Well, that may be true but, I always get what I want and I want you gone".

"I don't care if you've gotten what you wanted in the past but, you're not getting what you want now".

"And who's going to stop me? You?" Brenda laughed

"Brenda, why don't you save us both a lot of time and leave now, you know that you could never pull the trigger, if it is in fact even loaded". Skye mocked

Brenda, released Skye's arm and pushed her away, she stumbled, lost her balance and fell hitting her head on the end of the coffee table. Both Jax and Luis stepped forward to help her up.

"Luis" Skye called out.

Jax took a step back as Luis knelt down to her. "Skye, Skye, are you alright?"

Putting his hand behind her neck he lifted her head up from the floor. She had a laceration just above her right eyebrow, blood trickled down from the site staining her face. "Skye" Luis whispered, her eyes fluttered a few times before finally shutting and then her body went limp.

"Is she alright?" Jax asked kneeling down to the both of them.

"I don't know Jax, do I look like a doctor?" Luis spat annoyed while trying to check her vitals.

"It's just that she's awfully pale".

"Well, she's breathing and has a pulse" Luis looked up at Brenda who was hovering over Jax, "This is your fault".

"I didn't mean to hurt her" Brenda replied in her own defense

"It doesn't matter rather you meant to do it or not, you hurt Skye, the woman I love. Jax, I want you to leave and take the little vulture with you".

Jax didn't know what to say, Luis Alcazar just said he loved Skye, his wife, that wasn't possible, Skye didn't love Luis, she loved him, she had to. Actually she didn't have to, he hurt her after swearing that he never would. "Come on Brenda, let's go, we've caused enough damage for one evening." Jax responded with his head hung down. Walking towards the patio doors he left himself out with Brenda only a few steps behind.

As they were outside the lakehouse with the doors fully closed, Brenda caught his arm, "Jax, I really didn't mean to hurt her, I swear".

"You didn't hurt her Brenda, I did, this is all my fault". Jax said admitting what he truly felt.

"No, it isn't, I shouldn't have came here, I shouldn't have pushed her".

Jax stood perfectly and silently still, he looked at Brenda, maybe she was right, maybe this was her fault.............
