Sorry this took longer then I hoped to update, I was in Maine for the last week and before then I wasn't finished, not to mention I'm stuck in camp from 7am to 6pm everyday so it might take longer.

But don't worry, I immediately started Chapter 14 after I finished this in Maine...

So it might be up in a few days...

Might...


Chazz took the chance and, grabbing Alexis's hand, shot toward the door.

Chapter 13; Luck?

Something stopped him though, he felt Alexis jerk back out of his grip. He turned around, seeing Slade holding her, covering her mouth.

Slade's gun was pointed at him.

He froze, "dammit."

Now what to do?

'This sucks,' Chazz thought, now if Chazz moved, they'd kill him,-he didn't really care about that-, but then, after that, they'd get to have their way with Alexis.

Chazz growled at the thought, he wasn't going to let that happen, he wasn't going to let his brothers have their way.

He looked at Jagger, whose gun was pointed at him, great.

'This sucks.' That thought again, it fit for the current scenario. There was nothing he could do, for now.

He decided to make a move. Swiftly, he kicked Jagger in the stomach and pried the gun from his hands.

Now having two, he pointed one at each brother. "Let her go!!!" He ordered Slade.

Slade did something unexpected; he pointed the barrel at Alexis's forehead, a shot, if made, that would surely be fatal. H-he, Slade didn't care if Alexis died, but why?

"Put them down," he motioned for the guns in Chazz's hands.

Chazz growled, but gave in and silently set the two weapons onto the floor.

Jagger made his move, within seconds, Chazz was kicked away and the guns were in Jagger's hands.

Without hesitation, Jagger aimed at Chazz and pulled the trigger. Chazz wasn't sure if it was bad accuracy, fate, or just blind luck, but the shot missed. Jagger shot again, and by another amazing stroke of luck, the gun jammed.

Why was lady luck on Chazz's side today? No complaints, but it was still odd. Chazz looked at Slade, his firearm still pointed at Alexis. Chazz wanted to grab the guns from Jagger, but then would Slade shoot her?

This was such a difficult choice on what to do. Quickly thinking of a plan, he grabbed Jagger's gun, the one that didn't jam and pointed it at Slade.

He saw Slade tense, but he had something different in mind then shooting.

Damn, did he need to get rid of the soft side that prevented him from shooting at his brothers? He closed the distance between him and Slade and kicked the gun out of Slade's hand, catching it.

"Let Alexis go."

Amazing, out of all the conflicts so far, this was the first time where he had the upper hand.

Of course, he wasn't sure whether it was going to last long or not.

So he had to end this fight quickly.

Slade didn't move. Chazz kept the guns pointed at Slades face, he also listened for Jagger.

Jagger was behind him, in his blind spot. That's when Chazz spotted a mirror on the other side of the room; it showed him and Jagger behind him…

What was with his luck today?

That was when Jagger raised a blunt object over his head.

In a split second, Chazz dodged it and charged at Slade. He was able to get Alexis out of his grip.

Chazz looked at the door; he would have to go over the bed to exit that way. He could do that, but it wouldn't be very smart… for one his brothers could surround him and bye bye hope…

Then Chazz looked out the balcony, he had a clear view of the lake and everything…

Hmm, maybe he could jump off the balcony? Problem, they were on the second floor.

Lady Luck turned to his brother's side again. Great…

Maybe he could take the chance…?

It wouldn't be the greatest, safest, or smartest thing to do… but it would be the only thing to do in this situation…

It was still a stupid thing to do though…

But then again, the lake was there, he wasn't sure if he could land in the water or not. Or for that manner, he didn't know what was in the lake that could do damage.

He looked around more… He could try grabbing the tree, no, that was too far away…

Shit…

Slade and Jagger were closing in and without thinking; Chazz grabbed Alexis and jumped off the balcony.

Alexis screamed, two seconds later, Chazz landed on his left foot.

Due to jumping from 15 feet in the air, the force of the landing caused him to topple over and slam his left shoulder onto the ground as he rolled over.

There was a loud crack and pain shot threw Chazz's arm. This wasn't good at all. Luck turned over to his brothers side, maybe it was just dumb luck that got him this far.

Had to be.

He slowly got up, pain shot threw his body. "Are you okay Alexis?"

"I should be asking you that!" She protested, he chuckled.

"I'm fine, jeez, and it was a question I asked you, don't worry about me."

She looked down, "I-, it's just, I can't help worrying about you, and that crack didn't sound good either."

"It's nothing serious, probably just a broken collar bone. After all, it's one of the easiest bones to break. Just twelve pounds of pressure and snap, simple as that. It'll be fine after a week or two..."

He lied about the last part, mostly to not make her worry about his recovery time. The collar bone was the easiest bone to break and the one of the slowest to heal.

Also to add to all the mayhem, his arm was limp and it wasn't moving, even when he sent signals from his brain to move it. Signs of a dislocated shoulder.

Great.

"Regardless, we should get to the Chancellor's off-."

He cut off, he had laid pressure on his left ankle, pain exploded threw his body and he found himself on the ground.

"Chazz!!" Alexis ran to his aid, "Are you alright."

"I-I'm fine, I think I twisted my ankle or something." He looked at her, "You need to go get Chancellor Shepard."

"But-!"

"Go."

Reluctantly, she turned to head toward the main building.

"Wait," he reached into his pocket and held out the gun toward her. "Take it."

"But Chazz, I don't know how to use one."

"It's pretty easy actually, but forget all the crap in the movies, it's completely different, for one, it has a recoil, so be careful for that." For the brief seconds he had, he taught her the basics; how to shoot, aim and un-jam. Even though that wasn't basic, it was helpful.

"No hurry and go, they are probably on there way now."

Unwilling to go, but knowing that she had to, Alexis nodded and she hurried away.

Chazz watched her disappear into the woods, and then turned his attention to his ankle; he rolled up his pants to see what he had.

Two words…

Definitely broken, compound fracture, holy shit…

All phrases would be perfect for what he saw…

No wonder it was so painful. It was probably better that Alexis hadn't seen this. She would have refused to leave him here in this state. Blood was gushing out of the wound still.

Great…

Chazz eyes were trained on the sides of the building and he had a hand on the gun.

Now, all there was to do was wait.


Alexis ran threw the forest, she had shoved the gun into the blazer pocket, hoping that she would not have to use it.

"I need to get help for Chazz" She thought, the loud crack that she had heard when they landed seemed to also come from Chazz's leg as well as his shoulder.

She ran faster and, not seeing where she was going, she tripped over a tree root and landed on the forest ground.

A bush rustled behind her and she gasped, getting up quickly, she hurried away.

Was that them?

No, it wasn't.

They wouldn't be that careless to rustle a bush while tracking her, not to mention, there probably would have been a longer delay, and Chazz would have shot at them.

Or they shoot at Chazz.

No, she couldn't think like that.

He was fine,

He had to be.

A shot rang in the air; she turned to the origin, right from the dorms direction.

"Chazz!!" She cried.

She began to head that way once more, she wanted to see if he was okay.

No!!!

He told her to get help.

Unwillingly, she turned and headed back toward the chancellors office.


A shot rang the air.

Chazz's ears twitched, that was the same direction Alexis ran towards.

"ALEXIS!!!" He shouted, it wasn't as loud as he knew he could yell, but at the moment, that was the loudest he could get.

Was that from her?

No, it was too close; she had to be farther then that.

Or did she run into trouble already?

Shit!!!

Wait, that would mean…

Footsteps behind him interrupted his chain of thought as his fingers tightened their grip around the gun.

"There you are Chazz…"
