Short Chappie, sorry, but I did manage to get it up in a week after my previous one so... don't think that this hall become a habit.

Chapter 16: Revealings
"Chazz? Please, put the gun down." One of the two Duel Academy security guards said. "We aren't her to hurt you."
Chazz lowered the gun slightly. He should trust them, he really felt he should.
But he couldn't.
He had been lied to dozen's of times before.
It was only logical that he had begun to lose trust in people.
He held the knife even tighter with his broken hand, his body ignoring the pain.
He couldn't let himself trust them, they could be lying.
They are.
Yes, they are lying, they are!
Don't listen to them, they are trying to trick you. The voice continued to instruct Chazz.
"No! Can't think like that!" Chazz thought to himself, snapping him out of his trance. He shook his head. He couldn't think like that. He had to stop.
Without warning, he was tackled from behind, the gun falling out of his grip. A large hand grabbed that hand and yanked it behind his back.
"What'd I tell you Chazz? They aren't trying to help you, they aren't on your side." The voice came back.
No, Chazz thought. That can't be it.
Even though he was beginning to believe it.
He elbowed his attacker in the jaw and got up, quickly running off as fast as he could.
"Wait! Chazz!" He heard one of the guards behind him shout.
He didn't listen, he just kept running as fast as his body let him. His leg was begining to hurt, but he made it contiue, not caring about the pain.
He made it maybe 300 feet away, and he could still tell that they were behind him, but not sure where. He stopped to rest, listening for them.
Breathing rapidly, he leaned onto, then collapsed against a large tree trunk.
"Chazz?" He heard them calling his name. "Chazz Princeston, come out!!"
He didn't listen, he was just too tired to run anymore, but he refused to give up. He couldn't give up.
Not yet.
Slowly, he got up and continued to walk, he just dragged his leg behind himself. He was using the trees for support.
He was in pain, in agony, that's all his body told him, but he willed himself to go on.
Just a little farther.
He didn't know where he was the next time he fell. The only thing he knew for certain.
He didn't get up.

"Alexis Rhodes?"
Alexis gasped, turning toward the voice. There were two Duel Academy security guards about five feet away.
She didn't move, but relief flooded her body and she let herself relax slightly. She hadn't responded, but nodded slightly.
"It's alright, I'm Randi, this is Oscar, my partner." He had come a little closer, extending his hand slightly, lowering himself to meet her at eye level. "We are with Duel Academy security. We've been looking for you." He took a step closer and she involutarily flinched. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
Trust them, she told herself. Have to trust them... they are good.
She did, and she went with them.

"Shit," Jagger cursed as he watched Alexis being taken away... They were watching through newly obtained binoculars "Well, at least we still got Chazz to retrieve."
"He won't last an hour in his condition now Jagger," Slade hissed in his ear. "We might as well just let them have him... for now, just so they can save him. Or, lets just recapture that bitch, and then get Chazz once he regains consciousness. We are only going ti need him conscious for a few hours after all."
"True. Alright then, so what should we do now?" Jagger asked, putting away the binoculars.
"First, we get off this island."
"And how do we do that?"
"Simple, we kill a few people."
"Oh really? How fun."
--
Chazz wasn't conscious, that's what he could tell, he couldn't feel anymore pain. It was gone. That was the only thing he could find solace in.
But still, plenty of questions filtered throught his mind. For one, was Alexis safe? He yearned to find her, that's what his mind wanted, but his body wasn't going to listen to him.
He hadn't moved a muscle. In reality, he couldn't. Even though he wanted to, even though he begged his body to move, for his eyelids to open, for his body to become alive again.
Still nothing.

Six weeks later:
Chazz was still in the hospital, they had taken his leg. By walking so much after it had been broken had made the injury even worse and unhealable, giving them no choice but to cut it off.
Besides that, the rest of his body had healed and was back to normal.
His mental state, however, wasn't. Not only did that voice come back and taunt him, but when he actually did sleep, he was tormented by horrid nightmares of what would have happened if Slade and Jagger had actually prevailed.
Now, his voice was stolen and he resembled a zombie, staring emptily out the window.
A lot was going through his mind, for one thing...
Jaden didn't make it.
Okay peoples. Getting down to the final stretch here... Maybe a few more chapters left, (Unless I decide to go to 25...) Regardless R+R please..
