Chapter Three: Trouble
Alex lay on the hard cold filthy floor as he tried to breathe, his pain was unbearable. His whole body was pounding with pain, he just wanted to die. He knew there was another prisoner in the cell across from his, he could hear her cries.
He finally knew what war was like, so much pain, fear and misery. Yes, he was in a war. A war to stay alive and not betray his friends; family or all would be lost forever. With a deep breath he sat up for the first time in ages, he weakly and painfully climbed to his feet and limped over to the cell door.
Looking through the bars he tried to find the other prisoner across from him, he could make out a woman on the ground in pain. His anger started to increase, how could these monsters bring in a woman to this hellhole! He was beyond furious now.
" YOU FUCKIN BASTARDS! " he screamed as he started to shake the prison cells bars. He heard and saw the woman move, onto her back and he saw that she was very pregnant.
Oh my God, how could someone take a pregnant woman captured! He asked himself and he froze and started to shake, from anger and sadness. His eyes went up to the woman's face and he about died when he saw one of his best friends and almost his sister, Tess Harding.
" TESSA! " he screamed and started to kick the prison cell door, after two powerful kicks it broke open and he rushed to Tess's prison cell.
Tess moaned when she heard her name called out by a very familiar voice that she hasn't heard in such a long time. Im dead, that's the only way how I could hear him. She thought as newly fresh tears lest her slightly closed eyes and down her cheeks.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant; she wanted to raise her baby and watch him grow up and have his own life. Now she couldn't do that, she started to sob, " I never wanted to die! " she cried.
" Tessa! You are not dead! " She heard Alex say, she froze and slowly opened her eyes and saw herself still in her prison and Alex on the other side. She stared at him like he was a ghost, which he was technically supposed to be to the world.
" Alex….? " she whispered, her eyes were very wide and they never left him. Alex nodded, she studied him, he looked terrible! Every inch of his body seemed to be covered in bruises and blood. His clothes were so filthy and he smelt filthy to, " You're alive…" she said disbelievingly.
Alex grinned painfully and shook his head, " The Skins captured me Tessa, I've been here all along." Tess would've brought Alex in a hug and never let go but she couldn't at the moment.
" They tortured me to get information about you and the others.." he said slowly and Tess cried out, it was their fault that this happened to Ales and she knew that she could never forgive herself for that. " I didn't tell them anything Tessa, I will never betray you guys!" Alex promised.
" Alex…oh my God!" she cried out as a very powerful pain flashed through her, she grabbed her stomach and before she knew it Alex was beside her. The pain passed her and she took a deep breath, she took a look at Alex and saw him looking at her with so much concern.
She looked away from him slowly and looked the cell door to see it was broken and on the ground. She gaped openly at it, she couldn't believe that he did that, but how did he do it? " Tessa…what happened since I was captured? "
Tess laughed softly at Alex's question, " So much." She said as she leaned back into Alex's arms. " Do you mind telling me?" Alex asked as he stared down at her pained face, Tess nodded.
" This might take me awhile, so much has happened Alex, go and bad." She said sighing. Alex nodded; he needed to know what happened. Tess started to speak and he sat there, listening to each word carefully.
Maria stifled a yawn as she took a customer's order at the Crash Down Café, she has been working for four hours now and she was dead tired. She hasn't seen Michael, Max or Isabelle all day and she had a feeling that something happened or something was going to happen.
She looked at Liz, who looked like she was run over twice with a truck, she couldn't blame her. The past couple of days have been so rough on them all, from finding out Tess killed Alex and betrayed them all. That was a real shocker; she never thought Tess would do such a thing. She was furious with her; she killed her best friend and ruined their lives.
Maria walked to the kitchen to give the fill in cook the order, the cook sucked, she needed Michael there. She looked at Liz again and saw her rubbing her head, she frowned, she knew something else was wrong with Liz but didn't know what.
" Excuse me, waitress!" a customer called out from a near by table, waving their hand in the air. Maria groaned, she hated being a waitress but it paid good bucks. She walked over to the table and forced a smile, none of her smiles seemed real anymore.
2 hours later
Maria barely made it to the bar stool to sit down, Liz was closing up and she was dead tired. The day was finally over and she was free for a night to rest, if only Michael was there so she could spend it with him.
She rested her head against the cool table and sighed, it felt so good to finally be able to rest more than a couple of seconds.
" Maria, are you staying the night?" Liz asked coming up to her and sitting down, she glanced at her and shrugged. " Sure, I just have to go home real quick and get some of my stuff." She said sliding off the stool and stretching, Liz glared at the wall and nodded.
Maria hesitated before asking, "What's wrong Liz?" she placed a hand on her friend's shoulder and Liz pulled away fast. She frowned and looked into Liz's eyes, she was always good at reading emotions through the eyes.
In her friend's dark brown eyes, she saw anger, fear and confusion. " Lizzie, what's wrong?" she asked growing concerned for her friend even more. Liz laughed, she almost stepped back when she heard such evil in that laugh.
" Everything is wrong Maria, Max is still in love with that betraying fucking bitch!" Maria could not believe that Liz, who never so much of glared at anyone, was saying something like this. " That stupid little whore killed our best friend! How can he still love that slut!" Liz asked angrily.
" Okay…Liz, I think you need to take a deep breath and calm down!" She said smiling nervously, Liz glared at her and crossed her arms over her chest. Maria started to walk towards the back room where her locker is located at, "I'm going to go get my stuff and then quickly run home and pack, Ill be back probably in about an hour and thirty minutes."
Liz nodded and sighed, leaning against the counter.
Isabelle some how ended up in Michael's lap, leaning back into his chest as they drove speeding towards the caves. She never realized that it took forever to get there; she glanced at Max who was driving. She knew it must be so hard on him, he was lead to believe that the love of his life who was pregnant with his child betrayed him.
She could feel Michael's arms wrap around her, she felt so content and protected in his arms. Tess said that her and Michael were soul mates themselves and they started having the same dreams. She remembers the dreams vividly, they seemed so real and she was sure that she was pregnant with Michael's child. She wasn't, you can't get pregnant from the dream.
She shook her head, why was she thinking about the dreams and pregnancy anyways? She could feel Michael's breath against the back of her neck, she could hear his heart beat in her ears and she realized something then.
They were meant to be together, in their past lives they were married, they loved each other. She took a deep breath, she loved him, she just realized that and the love that she had for him was real. Michael tightened his arms around her, as if saying that he loved her to and Isabelle smiled.
Liz walked up the stairs to her room, waiting for Maria to get here and smiling. She knew she shocked and scared Maria but some how she didn't feel like she needed to apologize to her. She felt free at last that she showed her true self, even though one of her best friends was now scared because of her.
Liz slowly opened her door and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw her window opened and a man that was standing in the middle of her room.
WELL! That was the third chapter! I hoped everyone enjoyed it and reviews!
