usual they don't belong to me I just like to play!
"This is getting boring now" fox sat back onto the floor, the knife he spun casually in his hand Jesse was beginning to regain consciousness fox watched as Jesse jumped when he saw fox it made him smirk and he felt a strange power at having this man fear him, "yeah I'm still here and I still want my answers, who are Adam, brennan, Shalimar and Emma" it made fox smile at the confusion that spread across jesses face "you talk in your sleep, so come on who are these people you talk about friends of yours?" [Damn it! What else have I said] Jesse cursed himself and felt strangely panicked at the thought of if he passed out again what would he say "so what do you say you give me some answers now," fox smiled at him seeming very smug with himself until Jesse saw fox tense up [like Shalimar dose when she hears something, please tell me it's them] Jesse strained to hear as well until he heard a car or an engine at least, it was the first noise he'd heard of the outside world in an age, [come on, come on,] fox stood up and walked towards the steps he paused then hurriedly turned and opened a trapdoor in the floor that Jesse hadn't noticed before it was a coal hole just big enough to hold a man, then fox began to walk back towards Jesse picking up a scrap of material on his way [no you can't be serious, I can't] jesses thoughts became erratic, and he began to panic as fox came over and tied the material roughly around jesses head as a make shift gag, "we'll just wait them out, you in there and me elsewhere then we can get back to our quiz" fox said slyly as he gagged the young man's panicked features "not claustrophobic are you??" he smiled as he reached for the keys to undo jesses cuff's, he held the knife tip at jesses throat as he undid his restraint "now bring your arm trough the loop, and quickly or I'll just take it off" Jesse winced as he pulled at his arm roughly his body not responding as he'd like, he was weak and the blackness of the trapdoor making him shiver with fear, but as soon as he had his hand through the loop fox had hold of it, and pushing the blade into jesses throat he made the molecular put his hands behind his back and fox cuffed them there, "stand up" Jesse scrambled to his feet hoping he could catch fox off balance he rushed at him with all his strength unfortunately it wasn't enough and fox caught him, "now now thinking of leaving so soon" fox threw Jesse over his shoulder Jesse tried to squirm out of his grasp but to no avail, fox had him and dropped him roughly into the hole and forced Jesse into a sitting position, [please I can't, let me go] Jesse franticly tried to stand and get out but fox held him there and quickly shut the door and jesses world went black, [oh god no, somebody help me!].
Shalimar and brennan pulled the car up near the building "come on there should be a broken window behind the house" Shalimar was shouting back to brennan as he attempted to follow Shalimar but not having the feral's pace he just pushed his own until they were both stood at the back of the house, "how many windows has this place got wow did she say which window?" brennan looked at shal hopefully as he began trying windows to find the one with the broken latch "no which she'll regret not doing when I get back" brennan watched as Shalimar began yanking at every window she could get to brennan found himself thinking it was lucky he had been a thief and went to a window that was slightly ajar he gave it a quick pull and it gave he pulled it open "hey shal, think I found it come on" he shouted at the feral who came running over and followed brennan inside the house,
Fox watched as the man and woman stepped into the house he had just come out of just in time he had been crouched down low in the trees and was surprised when the female didn't smell him [must be preoccupied with finding her friend] fox smiled to himself as he followed slowly behind the newcomers Shalimar could smell jesses fear from at the top of the stairs "Jesse, where are you" she called out hesitantly she didn't want to alert fox to their presence she and brennan where just about to go through the door to the cellar when brennan let out a loud 'humph' as he fell to the ground Shalimar spun and dropped into an attack position ready to dive on the guy who had his knee in Brennan's back she saw brennan focus as much energy as he could with one hand then let it shoot out at the guy while he was staring at Shalimar "where is he?" Shalimar snarled at him "your friend is how shall I put this, ah, detained for questioning" fox said as he slowly rose to feet having being blasted of brennan he also dropped into fighting stance and watched out f the corner of his eye as brennan stood up "where is he?" Shalimar snarled again at him, fox just smiled slyly back at her refusing to tell her, before he could think or react Shalimar had dove through the air crashing into him and knocking him to the ground she swiped at his face but he composed himself and went on the attack he threw Shalimar but she dropped to her feet ready to attack again he defended himself against Brennan's hand to hand and threw the elemental to the other side of the room with hardly any effort brennan landed in a heap at the base of the wall shook his head and started back to his feet again "brennan find jess. I'll hold him off" Shalimar turned to brennan then he saw her eyes flash yellow and she pounced on fox again, brennan watched as she flung herself through the air and began to attack fox who seemed as though he could hold his own against her, brennan wanted to stay to help but the look in her eyes when she told him to find Jesse had been an order not a request and he really didn't want to upset her even more he dodged the fighting couple and headed down the stairs,
Jesse didn't think he could shout anymore he felt sick and exhausted his whole body was one big mass of pain and with him panicking he was loosing control of his abilities phasing out only to receive a nasty jolt from the governor [what if it wasn't Shal or Bren or Emma and I'm still stuck here when fox gets back] the thought made him cry out again he began to shout out their names all be it muffled,
Brennan ran down into the cellar and looked about he glanced over to the facing wall their was drops of blood on the floor, "that better not be Jesse's, Jesse! Jesse are you down here bro?" brennan heard Jesse cry out it was muffled so brennan looked harder and in the corner of the cellar he spotted a trapdoor "Jesse man are you in there?" he banged on the wood, Jesse couldn't believe he was hearing Brennan's voice but he still tried to reply so he but all his energy into a shout he didn't know what he was shouting he just had to make Brennan know he was there, Brennan stepped back when he heard the shout "I am gonna kill that fox guy!, hang on jess I need a key" brennan quickly looked round for a key he found it on one of the arms of an old couch in the corner he released the latch and pulled back the door "oh man look at the state of you" brennan said startled by his young friends appearance he lent in and pulled Jesse out of the hole and helped him over to the couch, Jesse plonked down heavily into the couch, relief had washed over him as soon as brennan opened the hatch in the floor brennan had been shocked by his appearance but Jesse felt happy and safe again and that was all that mattered "I gotta get you out of theses things do you know where the key is" Jesse thought for a moment and remembered that fox had dropped them when he had charged at him "there over there on the floor, Bren, the governor just fry it don't bother finding the keys" "huh oh yeah just bend your head forward" Jesse did as he was told and Brennan zapped the governor feeling himself flow back Jesse phased out of the cuffs and shrugged of his stiff arms and shoulders "come on we gotta go help shal" "why where is she?" Jesse said slowly getting to his feet he was weak with not standing for a while and had to lean on brennan for support "she's upstairs fighting fox" brennan saw Jesse flinch at fox's name but knew he probably would if the roles had been reversed "come on the guy's on edge"
They reached the top of the stairs Shalimar was standing face to face with fox both looked rough but shal seemed to be less tired than fox "shal!" Jesse called out to her when they entered the room "oh my god Jesse what has he done?" Shalimar felt a great wave of guilt and pain wash over her as she turned to see her companion sliced to ribbons her opponents name engraved on her friends chest, she glance to see fox smirk at Jesse as he began to walk towards Jesse, her Jesse that she had failed to stop getting hurt the anger flashed through her eyes and she leapt at fox and knocked him to the ground she bent her arm and rammed her elbow in to the back of fox's head and he lay silently on the ground, she got off and turned him over he was still breathing "come on lets get you back sanctuary" she turned and took jesses arm across her shoulders he winced but kept it there brennan let go of his other side and bent to pick fox up by the feet and drag him along to the car behind Jesse and Shalimar.
The ride back to sanctuary had been quiet Shalimar had sat in the back with Jesse who was lay asleep on the backseat his head in her lap as she ran her fingers through his hair examining his cut's and bruises, and every time she felt him draw back in his sleep another pang of guilt waved through her system and brought a tear to her eye, when brennan looked back she didn't brush it away she just looked back at brennan the guilt eminent on her face, brennan glanced across at fox who was still unconscious riding shotgun with him he glared at him then continued to watch the road.
"This is getting boring now" fox sat back onto the floor, the knife he spun casually in his hand Jesse was beginning to regain consciousness fox watched as Jesse jumped when he saw fox it made him smirk and he felt a strange power at having this man fear him, "yeah I'm still here and I still want my answers, who are Adam, brennan, Shalimar and Emma" it made fox smile at the confusion that spread across jesses face "you talk in your sleep, so come on who are these people you talk about friends of yours?"
