Save me

Jack and Paris stood and stared at Nick and the syringe in his hand.

''You're not getting away with this, you'll go straight back inside.'' Jack said.

''I'm prepared to take the risk.'' Nick said in a disgusted voice as he looked at Paris.

''It doesn't have to be like this!'' Paris told him.

''Go out through that door and start a new life for yourself. Let this whole vendetta behind you.'' He added. Nick sneered.

''You would like that wouldn't you?'' He hissed angrily before starting to walk over towards them. Jack leaped foreword and jumped onto him. They struggled for a few seconds before Nick got Jack down onto the floor.

''PARIS! DO SOMETHING!'' Jack screamed in panic as he looked at the filled syringe only about an inch away from his neck. Paris ran up behind Nick and took a hold of his throat. Jack managed to get a hold of the syringe and crushed it against the floor. At least that was one less threat to worry about.

Nick manged to get out of Paris grip by throwing his over his shoulder and down on the floor onto his back, knocking the air out of him paralyzing him for a second.

Seeing his opportunity to finally finish this, Nick reached down to his belt, taking out a sword handle and pressed the button making the blade appear.

''NO!'' Jack ran forward and threw himself in front of Paris, who was just about his way to rise, shielding him from Nick's blow. An indescribable pain filled his body as he could hear the sound of metal hit the hard ground and looked down to see his right hand, cut of, laying on the floor besides the sword.

Tulio supported a more or less heavily pregnant Amazonia as fast as she could move away from the shed.

''Alright, this should be safe enough.'' He said as they finally stopped. He turned around and cupped both of her cheeks.

''Are you okay? Did he hurt you?'' He asked angrily and looked her over. Amazonia cried but shook her head.

''I'm fine, but something is going to happen. We need to do something!'' She cried harder.

''What do you mean something is going to happen?'' He asked confused.

''I had a vision, a gunshot and blood. Someone is going to die.''

''Listen, Zandra is on her way. Paris has Jack with him, everyone is going to be fine.'' He said and hugged her tightly.

''You didn't hear what Nick seems that he have pretty good reasons to hate Paris.'' She whispered.

''I wonder what happened.'' She added. And to be honest, so did Tulio.

Back at the palace, Musa sat onto the bed she shared with Riven while holding Melody onto her lap. She watched as her husband passed back and fourth the room. Even if she knew that he didn't want anything more than to go out there and help, she was relieved that he was here with her in safety.

''I should be there with him.'' Riven muttered as he stopped, turned around and started to pace again. Musa sighed and followed him with her eyes as he kept on going back and forth.

''I know that you're worried about Tulio, but I think that the one who's in real danger is Amazonia.'' She replied him sadly. Riven suddenly stopped and looked at her.

''Don't you think I'm just as worried about Amazonia as you're?'' He asked slightly irritated. Musa looked at him and nodded.

''But if something happens to her or the baby….'' He added and went down to sit down besides his wife and daughter.

''I really don't think that he will be able to cope with that. He will destroy himself.'' He added and looked at her sadly. Musa sighed and brought one hand to the back of his head and buried her fingers in his magenta hair slightly.

''But that's not all is it?'' She asked him quietly, and once again Riven looked at her, slightly surprised but at the same time confused. Musa gave him a weak smile.

''You don't think I've noticed, but I have. I can hear when you call his name in your sleep. You feel that you let him down.'' She said and Riven turned his head away again. As if he was ashamed.

''I failed him all those years ago, my entire family. If it hadn't been for me, he never would have gone through hell all those year as a prisoner.'' He said sadly.

''I had to watch my parents bury their own child, because of me. I will never get that small coffin out of my head.'' He added again sadly and Musa could see the pain in her husbands eyes when he talked about it. She shook her head and made him face her by grabbing his chin.

''Hun! He's here! Alive and well with us! And both he and Amazonia will be right back here again any time now.'' Musa said with a smile.

''He doesn't blame you for anything that happened all those years ago, neither does your parents, Chel or anyone.'' She added before smiling slightly.

''And even if I had preferred that Tulio didn't have to pay the price for it, it got me you.'' She said and winked at him, making his laugh slightly. And she was right! If it hadn't been for Tulio's ''death'', Riven never would have attended Red Fountain.

''And this one right here!'' Musa exclaimed and lifted Melody slightly so that she could stand on her mothers lap and turned back to face Riven.

''So stop blaming yourself, because no one else does.'' She added with a smile and earned not only a smile back from him, but a kiss as well.

With blood gushing out from his arm, trying to keep himself up by holding onto Paris who had caught him when he was about to fall. But when his legs failed to keep his body-weight up, he fell down to the floor pressing his arm close to his chest while he screamed on the top of his lungs from the pain.

Paris looked over at his best friend laying on the ground twisting in pain, seeing this made something in Paris snap and hatred and the overprotective side of him took over. Paris roared as he ran forward to Nick and pushed him backwards trapping him between himself and the wall with a hard slam, making Nick drop his sword to the ground.

Paris wrapped both of his fingers tightly around Nick's throat and pushed him upwards as he gritted his teeth tightly together. In this moment, Paris didn't hesitate for a second to keep on pushing until Nick finally wasn't able to breathe. And Jack laying behind him panting in pain only drove Paris even further.

''Paris! Stop it, let him go.'' Zandra screamed as she came running inside and tried to pull Paris away from him, but his feet where like glued to the floor and his hands nailed into Nick's neck.

''I'm going to kill him.'' Paris hissed angrily as Nick's face started to turn to a shade of purple. Zandra carried on pulling Paris's shirt, trying to get him to loose his grip. She got a glimpse of Paris's hazel brown eyes had almost turned black in hatred, and she just knew that he wasn't lying.

Even though she was stronger then other girls where, Zandra still didn't manage to pull Paris away so instead she took the sharp heel on her boot and stomped the hardest that she could right at Paris's foot. Paris backed away and growled in pain, making him release Nick's throat and the blonde gasped for air and slide down the wall to the floor. Zandra quickly got down onto her knee besides him and made him turn to face her.

''Are you okay?'' She asked concerned as she placed one of the hands onto his shoulders, the other one behind onto his neck. Paris frowned his eyebrows in surprise and his chin feel to the floor.

''Does it matter? He should be dead by now, and he certainly will be when I'm done with him.'' He hissed angrily as he was about to attack Nick once again, but Zandra quickly stood up and stepped in front of him with her sword drawn and placed the blade against his throat.

''Then you have to get past me first. You kill him, you kill me.'' She hissed quietly as she glared up at him. Paris took a step back and shook his head at her.

''You're out of your mind.'' He said before turning back to see Jack laying in a large pile of blood twisting and panting with his cut of right hand laying a bit from him. Paris hurried over to him and kneeled down.

''It's okay.'' He said as he took the dagger from his belt and cut in the fabric of Jack's jacket by his right shoulder and tore the sleeve off. Paris flinched at the sight of the arm missing a hand. He stripped of his own shirt and wired it tightly around the bottom of Jack's arm and tied it tightly together.

''Look, it's not that bad. We'll patch you up and you will be as good as new.'' Paris smiled, trying to put a brave face on. Jack turned slightly to look up at him with glittering eyes, that he almost wasn't able to keep open. Paris got scared and grabbed the collar of Jack's jacket and pulled him up slightly.

''Jack! Don't close your eyes, stay with me! I'm going to take care of you, I always got your back remember?'' He said and slapped Jack's across the face lightly, trying to prevent Jack from closing his eyes. Jack took one last look at Paris before his heavy eyelids closed completely and his head fell foreward.

''Jack? Jack?!'' Paris screamed as he took a hold of Jack's face and tried to shake him to open his eyes again, but he didn't. A big lump formed into Paris stomach and tears stared to well up in his eyes.

''No. No. No.'' He whispered in desperation and put two fingers onto Jack's neck. And to his surprise and happiness he found a pulse, even though it was weak. He was unconscious from the blood loss, but atleast he was still alive,

''Paris, he's going to be fine right?'' Zandra whimpered from across the room. Paris glared at her angrily.

''He better be.'' He hissed before glancing slightly to her left where Nick sat looking back at him.

Two medical keepers lifted Jack's unconscious wounded body up onto a floating medical capsule and brought him inside the ship. Amazonia stood a bit further away in Tulio's embrace and another few soldiers stood outside the shed. Paris, Zandra and Oliver walked outside the shed. Not long after, Nick walked outside linked in one wrist with handcuffs to a police.

''I'm going to the hospital with Jack, can you tell my wife where I am?'' Paris asked Oliver as they both stopped and turned around to face each other.

''Yes General.'' Oliver said and nodded. Everybody gasped as Nick, with his free hand pulled out a gun that he had hid underneath his shirt, pointed it towards Paris. A gunshot was released, followed by a womans ear-piercing scream.

Who screamed? Why did they scream? Did someone get hurt? Who? Will Jack make it? And what's in store for him now when he's one hand down?

I'm really sorry that I've been sucking at updating lately but I've been drowning in essays, tests and personal life. Hoping that it will get better now that I'm on summer break.

Next time, people are rushed to the hospital, Tulio questions only turns into even more questions.
