Chapter 4 "Against You"
Blake darted his eyes back there were people behind him.
They were The Elites; the most highly trained of all Blake's recruits and the most heartless.
They were all hooded with small traces of armor among their wrists and although they never spoke a word Blake knew why they were there.
Two of them grabbed Sarah's wrists and pulled them back so she couldn't move.
"Blake! What are they doing?" Sarah said with worry in her voice.
Blake tried speaking to the elites. "This is my wife whether I like it or not! Unhand her!"
They said nothing starring him down and now Blake knew he must make a choice…if Sarah was let go she'd wait and wait then go right back to taking the information to the enemy.
But Sarah…a part of him knew there was no going back after this choice…it would be the final choice between his family and his empire.
But so many pieces were coming together…and in his eyes he lost his family's respect a long time ago so there was already a hard few words he would have to say.
He hung his head; Spike wanted to interfere but didn't believe Blake would let them hurt Sarah.
And all at once Blake saw the pair of red eyes looking through the door and Spike panicked and ran up to Sarah grabbing on to her.
"Dad! Leave her alone!!" Spike screamed.
Blake grabbed Spike pulling him away from her with his strength more then Spike could struggle from.
Before he left he looked one last time at Sarah. "I loved you once…"
Blake ran with Spike a few miles away and where Spike could not get back in time.
Blake sat Spike down trying to calm him down but Spike was upset and angry and hard to hold down.
"How could you!!" Spike screamed.
"Spike! Quiet down!" Blake screamed louder.
Spike just looked innocent then angrily into Blake's eyes pulling his wrists out of Blake's hands. "YOU MONSTER!"
"Don't talk to me like that! She brought in on herself!" Blake answered.
"You'll regret this…" Spike said. "I won't let you get away with it…"
"I already lost one person today I don't want to have to loose you." said Blake.
"Is that a THREAT?" Spike said. "You just let them! You LET THEM DO THAT TO MOM!"
"No! I'm trying to reason with you! Spike I have a chance to make this world a better place! My empire is almost there! You could be a king Spike! Stand beside me and forget about her."
"Never…" Spike said with a tinted anger to his voice. "So long as I live I will remember this, I HAVE NO FATHER."
Blake covered his face with his hands. "I didn't want this to happen you know…but there's no turning back Spike, if you're not with me then, you're against me."
"You're right! I'm…against you…"
