Chapter 5
There is some language in this chap but not much
Leo orbed up to the elders.
"Good . . . we've been needing to talk to you,"
"I want some answers first." He strode towards them. "How the hell is Jax still
alive?"
"We don't know what you're talking about."
"Bullshit." Leo barked. "He died in my arms 20 years ago! Now you tell me how
in God's name did he orb right in front of me, looking like he hasn't aged a day!"
The one elder sighed. "It's rather complicated to explain-"
"I don't care how fucking complicated it is. I need to know what happened to my
friend!"
"We're still trying to figure it out ourselves!"
"IT HAS BEEN 20 FUCKING YEARS! Why the hell didn't you tell me he was
alive!"
( still not in Cassie's POV cuz she's still out )
Chris orbed into the manor, Cassidy limp in his arms. "Leo!" He was almost in
tears. He walked over to the couch just as Piper came into the room. Chris
gently laid Cassidy on the couch, his hands were shaking violently. Piper's eyes
went to the arrow in Cassidy's stomach.
"Oh my god,"
Jax orbed in beside Piper. He saw that Leo wasn't there yet. "Where the hell's
Leo?" He was almost in tears also. Jax walked over to the couch. "Arrow," he
choked. The arrow shimmered out of Cassidy and then floated above Jax's open
hand. He glared at it, and in a puff of smoke it disappeared.
"Why did you destroy it? We can't track the darklighter now." Piper said quietly.
Jax turned to her, pure agony in his eyes. "I already know where he is. And
there's no way of getting to him now."
She gave him a look that clearly said she didn't understand, but he looked away.
He couldn't explain now.
Chris looked up at Piper, tears building up in his eyes. "Why isn't he coming!"
"LEO, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Jax yelled up at the ceiling through his
choked up throat.
Leo heard the screams. He still wanted his answers though. The elders were
reluctant to tell him anything. He glared at them as he orbed out.
Just when Chris was beginning to think that Leo wasn't going to come, white orbs formed next to
Piper. Chris was relieved a little, but he didn't know if he should be grateful that Leo came or
hate him for taking so long.
Leo appeared and could immediately feel the pain in the room. The emotions were so strong that
they almost knocked him over. His eyes went right to the couch where Chris huddled over a
teenage girl. Chris's bloodshot eyes met his. Leo didn't wait for Chris to say anything, he knew
by his gaze what he had to do. Leo hurried over and knelt by the girl. Chris backed to give him
some room, as Leo put his hands over Cassidy.
Okay, there's a lot of POV switches in this part. The extra space between paragraphs is not a scene switch it's a POV switch. Try to follow, if you can't – let me know by email ( mustangsgoroar then and I will work extra hard to fix everything. Sorry if it causes confusion.
My strength was gone . . . My soul was giving up . . . I was fading . . . Chris, I'm sorry . . .
A golden glow enveloped me as a warming sensation came over my body. The pain was
subsiding. What is this? Suddenly a burst of energy surged through me. My eyes shot open as I
gasped in a deep breath.
The world was a blur as I quickly sat up and tried to look around. I couldn't tell where I was at
first, but everything gradually came into focus as I was immediately pulled into an immense
embrace. I knew this hug. It was that older brother protective kind. The ones you feel
completely safe in. It was Chris.
"Chris!" I said as I wrapped my arms around him. He held me for several moments before he
spoke.
"Don't you ever do that to me again." He whispered in my ear. I could tell he had been crying.
"I'm sorry." I drew away from him, looking at the face I'd missed so much. It was rough trying to
keep two steps ahead of Wyatt without Chris there.
I happened to glance past him and saw the other people in the room also. I looked back at Chris.
We'll talk later. Don't mention anything. Chris sent me in his thoughts. That was one power
we were glad we had. Chris and I had discovered that we were able to send thoughts to each
other when we were younger. It came in real good use having to out smart our older brother.
Which happened quiet often.
Its really bad, Chris.
Later! Leo's about to explode. He shot as he looked to Leo and Jax.
Jax knew Cassidy was going to be okay. As soon as Leo had healed her he knew she was fine.
It's not that he didn't want to make sure she was, its just now wasn't the time for a boyfriend-
girlfriend moment with Leo and Piper there.
He could feel Leo's eyes on him. He took his eyes off of Cassie and looked over to Leo. He
immediately saw all the hurt and confusion in his friend's eyes. ". . . Leo –"
"How?" Leo cut him off. "Y-you were torn up." Leo just now noticed the scar across Jax's face;
running from the left of his forehead, through his eyebrow and down his other cheek.
Jax saw him eying the scar. He sighed as he removed his black t-shirt.
Gasps echoed from Piper and Leo.
