I am so, so, so, so sorry. I feel bad that I haven't been able to undate on my story. Life has just been kicking my ass. With work and now school again (that's college for ya). But I have wanted to post these two chapters since the longest. So here are the next two chapters to my story. Again, trying to edit, and grammer check this as good as I can. I love everyone who has been reviewing my story and I hope you guys enjoy these chapters. There is a violent scene in the beginning, and sad/drama scene towards the middle, but there will be a happy one towards the end. Thanks again for reading. Enjoy ^-^

~~~~ Two miles away from Terminal City in an Abandon House~~~~~~

A young man was locked up in a cage, his hands cuffed and a blind fold over his eyes. He was shaking from the cold and fear of what was happening to him. He never imagined coming to Seattle would have been the cause of his capture and this much pain he was in now. But he had wanted to see her again. At least to apologize for what he had done to her. But here he was, about to see her again, but only to bring her back to these monsters so they could do who knows what to her. He had been here for over two weeks and he was in an enormous amount of pain. Not just physically but internally. He hadn't eaten since he was captured and brought who knows where. He was crouched in a corner of the cage waiting for what he knew was to come.

"I need to get out of here. If only I didn't have these cuffs and blind fold. Those bastards, I hope they get what's coming to them," thought the young man.

He had been trying to get out of the handcuffs and as a result his wrists where sore and bloody. The metal digging into his flesh everytime he tried to pull on the cuffs trying to escape the torture he had been induring. The skin was starting to heal now that he had given up fighting them. They still stung whenever he moved just a small fragment though.

"I need to get out of here. This was not supposed to happen," he thought to himself.

Just then he heard a door opening. The lights were switched on, but not like he could tell or not. He could hear footsteps approaching him. He backed up closer to the wall of the cage.

"Let's see if this time we understand each other. We've been over this countless times. So I think it should be crystal clear what I expect from you. Should we go over it one more time?"

"It's not as easy as you think. I'm not the only one like this; there are others with other abilities, some stronger than mine. They could figure out what I'm doing and then they'll…" said the young man in a low voice.

"Listen, son. You got two choices. One, you go and bring her to me. Or two…," just then he struck the young guy with a tazor.

"AAAHHH"

"Well, there really is no second choice. If they don't kill you, I will. And I won't be too gentle about it. Now go, have them befriend you, trust you and then you bring her to me. Simple as that," Dimitire said walking away and leaving the young guy on the ground convulsing from the electric shock.

Demitri reached the door of the room and turned to one of his men.

"You know what to do. Make sure he knows if he betrays us, his pathetic life will flash before his eyes before his brains burst within his skull," Demitri said walking out.

The young man could hear everything Demitri said. He could here footsteps approaching him. He heard the cage door open and then he was being hauled up roughly.

"No! What are you doing?" he started shouting.

He was strapped down to a chair and his head was leaned forward hard.

"Please….please just leave me alone!" he pleaded them.

Just then he felt a sharp sting on the back of his neck. Just then one of the guys grabbed a hold of his hair and pulled his head back.

He leaned over his ear and whispered, "Remember we will be watching you. Don't try to do anything stupid, or we'll end you as quickly as we did inserting this explosive into your spinal cord. One wrong move your dead, you filthy pest."

Just then the young man was struck on the left side of his forehead with a steel pipe. He feel off the chair and landed hard on the cold floor. With the strength of twenty men, both familiers repeatedly brought down a steel pipe across the young man's shoulders and back. The pain unbearable, and the young man could do nothing but scream and cry outload. His cries and screams could be heard outside the room, but no one seemed to hear him.

~~~Joshua's House~~~

Isis was in the kitchen making breakfast for Chuck, Joshua and herself. She had finally come out of her room last night, after locking herself inside it. She had been trying to decide what she was going to do. After everything she lived through, it didn't make sense for her to fall apart again. Since that night that Alec left her, she told herself that she couldn't let anyone into her heart again. She was left alone to put the piece back together, only to have them shattered again, the day she was raped. There were moments that she wanted to be that fifteen year old girl again. To believe in innocent things, like love at first sight. She was young the first time she saw Alec, and she had felt this warm feeling wash over her. She didn't know what it was at first, but as they became friends, she had realized she had fallen in love with him. Isis stared at the flames beneath the pan, in which she cooked some eggs. It was that same feeling she had felt the first time Alec had kissed her, but only to have it turn cold just as quickly as it had come. He had hurt her badly, but she didn't want to feel the same way she did back then.

Isis turned the stove off and poured some scrambled eggs into two plates. She grabbed the plates and turned to head to the table when she stopped.

"Alec?" Isis said.

There he stood right under the doorway of the kitchen. Staring at her with those green eyes she had dreamt about over the years. Isis put the plates down and turned back to look at Alec.

"Wha…what are you doing here? Where's Chuck?" Isis asked him.

"Chuck left with Joshua; they were heading to Terminal City when I came this way." Alec answered.

Isis looked around the room trying to think of a way to escape. She didn't want to have another conversation like the last one. She couldn't handle it. She hated the fact that she was always weak around him. She had held her own for the past year since the incident. Why was it that around him she grew weak in the knees?

"I…I also came to see how you where?" Alec said.

"I'm okay, Alec. You didn't have to come," Isis said, trying to be brave.

"I think we need to talk."

"Talk?" Isis laughed a little.

"That didn't go too well last time," she said.

Alec didn't know what to say that could fix this. He hated that, now that Isis was back, she was still far from him.

"Isis…if I could…"

"Don't. There's nothing you could have done," she said shaking her head.

"I could have protected you."

"How so? You say you wish you could take it all back, but you can't."

Just then Alec started walking towards her. Isis started backing up when her back hit the counter. She turned to look at the counter and then back towards the doorway. The only thing was that Alec was now in front of her.

"You have no idea, how much I hate myself, for what happened." Alec said.

"How guilty I feel."

Isis's heart was beating fast. She was trembling and she was starting to feel that fear she always gets when Alec is close to her; just as he was now.

"Alec…"

"I know I messed up, and that I can't change what happened. If I could go back I would redo everything to when you and I… were happy, together." Alec said.

Alec could see Isis's eyes shining with tears that were threatening to fall. But she wasn't going to cry. She couldn't let him see her cry. Although, so far she'd been lousy at that too.

"Happy together? Everything was a lie. You were never my friend, you weren't the person I thought you where, you…you never kept your promise," Isis said her voice starting to shake.

"I never meant to hurt you," he whispered.

"Well, you did. The past…is the past. You can't change it."Isis said, her voice now trembling.

Alec reached out and placed his right hand on her left cheek. Isis gasped at his touch.

"I want the past," Alec said.

They both looked into each other's eyes. They could see the pain and suffering that the other was feeling. Alec didn't know what was happening to him. Ever since he saw Isis again he started feeling something inside him telling him that he needed her, that he cared about her more than he ever thought possible. He was starting feel the since the first time he kissed her that night. Could it be he felt more than friendship?

"I can't….,"she said in a shaky voice.

Alec slowly pulled away to look into her eyes. Isis looked into his and she could see that he was struggling within himself. Like he was trying to control showing too much emotion, but was opening up to her, just like she remembered he would back then.

"You can't expect me to just, forgive and forget, just like that Alec," Isis said trying to stop her voice from trembling.

A single tear fell from her right eye. Causing Alec to back away and make his chest hurt.

"You were my friend…I trusted you, I cared about you, and you just left me there. You knew my fear of being alone," Isis said wiping the single tear away. Taking a deep breath to try and calm herself down.

"Renfro ordered it." Alec simply said.

Isis could see Alec was feeling guilty, and she didn't want him to feel this way. She wanted to forgive him, but that night's scene kept replying in her mind. And everything that followed just made things even harder to do so.

"She said, if I didn't, they would kill you. That's what I tried telling you the last time we talked. They would have killed you, just like they did Rachel."

And there it was, Rachel. The person who had shown Alec what love was. The first girl Alec had loved. She had always envied Rachel, not in a bad way, but just because of the way Alec had talked about her. He truly loved her and when he lost her, he nearly lost it. But he covered it up with sarcasm, and just played it out as though he was alright. Isis had been the one to see right through his shield. But it was at this very moment, that Isis felt confused to what Alec was saying. He had hurt her to save her from being killed like Rachel? Did that mean he cared about her?

"Why didn't you tell me back then? Why didn't you try to tell me?" Isis asked.

"I couldn't. I wanted to so badly, because I didn't want to hurt you and leave you. I knew your fear of being alone, and I have hated myself for walking away and leaving you behind. But I was being watched. If I didn't end it there, they would have. I couldn't stand to see that happen." Alec confessed.

Alec never told anyone this. He regretted what he did that night till this very day. Even after everything that has happened after, Rachel being alive, he still regretted leaving Isis behind. He had loved Rachel, and it hurt him to have to say goodbye to her after everything that had happened between them. But, Isis was something more. He had learned about love from Rachel, but it was Isis that had proven to show him that he was capable of loving, again. He had buried it deep inside, and lived a carefree, love um and leave um guy, but Isis changed that. She meant everything to him.

Isis wiped some more tears that had fallen from her cheeks and sniffed, when she smelled something. She looked down on the floor and saw blood drops. Her head quickly looked back up at Alec.

"You're hurt?" Isis said worried.

Alec looked down to see the blood. He cursed. He had forgotten he hadn't tended the new wound to his hand from his confrontation with Max back at his apartment.

"I'm fine," he mumbled.

Isis reached for his hand and Alec let her take his hand in hers.

"You're not, your bleeding, here sit down. " Isis said pulling Alec towards one of the chairs in the kitchen.

Alec sat down but when his back hit the back of the chair he winced. Isis noticed.

"What happened? Why are you hurt?" she asked worried.

"I'm fine, Isis." Alec said.

"The hell you are, you're bleeding, and your back must be hurt too, because you just made that scrunched up face you always do when you're hurt."

Alec couldn't help but smile. Isis looked up at Alec and knew why. They had been like this many times ago. He would come back hurt from training and she would help cleaning him up and heal all the cuts and bruises.

"I…I'll go get the first aid kit. Just don't do anything else to hurt yourself, please." she said getting up and leaving the kitchen.

Alec couldn't help feel the smallest of hope. Maybe he couldn't get things to be the same between them, like it was in the past. But maybe Isis and he could try again.
