Only five more chapters left until the trilogy finale!

Okay. I started school yesterday and in the process of taking an AP English class as well as juggling the filming of my Youtube channel, and trying my best to finish this story so I can continue with what you'll read below.

I have a question for my loyal readers. Would you rather have Legend Part 2 out after Dreams ends... or would you prefer a special yet decently short 4th story of the Alone in the Wild series? I thought of an new idea which I think you'll like. Whichever one has the most hashtags and wins, a summary will be posted on Chapter 36. Post #legend for Legend or #wild for AITW. So make sure to vote!

*For Wattpad readers, I have not posted the Alone in the Wild series, so if you want that to be uploaded put #wild in your comment.*

Now that that's done with, enjoy this chapter! It's the deciding event of our starring antagonists' futures!

Allison POV

I sat alone for hours at the phone, waiting for a way out. Another target possibly… in another city. I felt my life was ruined. I had direction. No friends. No tasks or responsiblities…

When I answered my phone on that first ring, I couldn't expect who was on the other side of the call.

"Allison?" A girl's voice asked. I didn't recognize this voice from any past events.

"Who is this?" I questioned.

"Jade. Caleb's girlfriend."

Upon hearing Caleb's name mentioned, I shivered. I hadn't talked to my brother in months and never met his girlfriend before. How was Caleb able to be forgiven so easily by Ray and Mitch after all he'd done? Well, as I realized further, Caleb knew he had bigger plans ahead, including a girlfriend named Jade who seemed practically normal. Caleb had definitely changed ever since our business with the Andersons started.

Caleb was the type of guy who didn't give a crap about what others said. It's what made him so popular in high school. It's what got him connections to almost everyone we worked with. Caleb gave all if his heart into getting what he wanted.

Plus he was so smart about it too. Back in his high school days, he was at Ray's side for as long as he could just so she wouldn't leave him for another guy. Matter of fact, she eventually did… but that's only a memory.

Caleb always lived in the present, thinking about his next plan or how to get out of a sticky situation. When he was in prison, Caleb reached out to me in order to bust him out. Once done with that, he moved back to the "Ray problem." My brother never had anything against Mitch. He was just deeply in love with Ray and refused to let go. Obviously he let go.

"Anyone there? Hello?" I stopped in my train of thought, remembering the phone call.

"Hi. Hi. Jade, it's Allison." I replied, somewhat stumbling on my words.

"Glad to finally talk with you. Caleb is a great guy, you know that?" I remained silent as Jade noticed my uncomfortableness. She continued, "You probably already know thought. You're his younger sister."

"It wasn't cotton candy and magical rainbows," I snarled.

"Hey, calm down. I didn't mean to offend you." Jade skipped straight to the point. "Caleb wants to meet with you."

"Why?"

"He heard about Ashley. Caleb wanted to make sure you have a place to stay and everything you need… He told me not to say this, but I can't lie to you. You deserve so much better."

"He obviously can lie. And you don't need to do anything for me."

"Caleb is trying to be a protective and caring older brother. He wants to make sure you're okay and safe."

"And to make sure I won't hunt down Ray again."

"Allison. Can I tell you something? So you can trust me more?" Jade unexpectedly blurted.

"Sure…"

"I'm 21 years old as of today. A month after my 13th birthday, a group of boys tried to rob my house. I defended as much as I could… but in the process one of the boys punched me in the face. That boy made me permanently blind. Can you guess who that boy was?"

"Um…"

"Draco Kehtarin."

"What?!" I was honestly shocked. I thought Draco's first big standout was with Blake Shard in Washington. Jade had slowly slid her way into my long-standing battle with Kehtarin. "Did you get revenge?!"

"No."

I gasped. "How… how come?"

"Because you need to forgive in order to move on with your life. I did… and look at me now. I'm on my way to seeing again."

"Why exactly did you call me?"

"Caleb wants to meet you at the 13th Street abandoned warehouse at 3pm. I'll be there too."

"Is it just us three then?"

"No."

I paused. Who else would Caleb possibly draw into this giant scheme of the past few years?

Jade had a point though. A very good point.

We talked for the next 4 hours.

Until around 2:45, I explained to Jade about my childhood, working with Caleb, working with Ashley, Ashley's death, the burden sitting on my shoulders, etc. Jade understood everything, and suddenly there was someone in my life who I could trust and a shoulder to cry on.

After we ended the call, I packed up my few belongings in a backpack and carried myself and the bag to the location Jade had mentioned.

As I walked to the front entrance, I found the door wide open, leading into a dim room. Three people stood inside already. One I recognized on the spot. My brother Caleb. The girl with the dark hair holding his hand must've been Jade. She was thin and pretty, a good resemblance to Ray. I couldn't mention it, because my attention caught onto the small third figure.

When I figured out this person's identity, I walked into the light. The gothic style skirt. Black jet hair. Shy yet intelligent attitude. None other than Kohta Seiko, the cousin of Fiara Guardian.

"A-Allison." Kohta noticed me under the light.

"I'm not easy to miss," I told her, stepping forward once again.

"Sorry about Ashley…" Kohta begun.

"I think she's heard enough of that already, Miss Seiko," Jade commented, a sly smirk on her lips.

"We're still waiting on to others," Caleb interrupted.

"Who? May I ask?" I queried, curious of Caleb's intentions.

"Draco and Lia." His tone was almost emotionless and paid no attention to my frown.

"No no please don't say that! Anyone but Draco!" I wailed, failing to control my anger towards my enemy.

Caleb faced my direction. "We need to make sure they are not going after our friends."

"Makes sense… Then why am I here?" I blurted.

"Caleb and I want to move with you into the Team Crafted house…" Jade was silenced when she heard two pairs of footsteps. Only could mean one thing. Draco Kehtarin.

"This is a nice place to meet up. Brings me back to the old days when I sold meth here…"

"Quit the act, Kehtarin." Caleb stopped Draco's statement. "Tell me your future plans."

"Everyone knows now so I guess it's okay to tell…" Draco begin, "Lia and I are moving to New York City."

"How are you able to fund that trip?"

"Lia's mother has a bank load of cash. We just used that for our tickets."

"How about once you get there?"

"No one will know who we are. We'll get jobs and become regular Americans."

"What about Lia?" Jade questioned. "Doesn't she have to stay in California due to allegations of kidnapping?"

Lia perked up at the mention of her recent actions. "When did that happen?"

"When your old friend Rouge Blackburn told the police. They're out at this moment trying to bring you to justice. I say… turn yourself in and accept the consequences."

"And why would I do that?!" Lia ignored her previous question upon recognizing Jade wasn't looking at her, instead towards me. "You! You're not even looking at me! Look at me when you're talking to me! It's POLITE!"

"Can't you see she's been blinded by your selfish boyfriend?!" I screamed, but it was too late. Jade took a single step back before Lia rushed at the blind girl, furious. Lia's fingers clawed at Jade's face. Caleb and I hurried to help Jade on her feet as Draco pulled Lia off Caleb's girlfriend. As I thought about it more and expected Draco to be an evil guy, I expected him to watch Jade suffer instead of helping.

"We fly tomorrow. Lia and I will be gone by the time you and your friends go to lunch." And with that, Draco and the psychotic Lia stomped out the door.

"Alliso, Kohta, Jade, let's head to the TC house and tell the others," Caleb ordered. We piled into his car and drove off into the LA sunset.

Maybe people change for the better more than I imagined.

Hope you liked this chappie. Intense at the end, right? Allison and Kohta are on the Team Crafted side?! And I wonder what'll happen to Draco and Lia once they leave LA.
