Chapter 17: Justin Loved Me
Alex, instead of heading home first to change, headed straight to Justin's home. 'I still can't believe he would buy a bar.' Alex thought walking up to the bar and then headed in. Alex looked around and of course, it's as busy as usual but Alex regained her focused and then continued up to Justin's room. Alex knocked on the door. "Hey Justin, are you there?" Alex asked waiting for a response.
"Come on in Alex." Justin said stepping out of his office and then saw Alex walk in. "What are you doing here?" Justin asked.
"I came to make sure that you are ok." Justin nodded and so Alex continued. "I was relieved to know that Evilini let you go. I was really worried that she might actually kill you." Alex then turned to leave. "Good to see you're ok."
"Hold on Alex, why don't we talk on the roof? I want to talk about some things." Justin said and Alex smiled happy that Justin wants to talk to her. Alex followed right behind Justin the short way up to the roof. The two made it to the top of the roof and then sat down on a bench. Alex looked at Justin wondering what he wanted to talk about. "I can't believe that you made it out alive Alex."
"Well, I have been trained and with the skills that I've gained, they really didn't have a chance against me though I do feel bad that I had people killed." Alex frowned and then looked away.
"You know that the people were mere robots right?" Justin said looking at Alex.
"They, wait, how do you know that?" Alex asked shocked.
"They were my creations after all and with the help of some unknowing wizards, they were charmed to act and look just like real people." Justin said and then raised his voice a little while standing up. "You weren't supposed to have had the strength to destroy them Alex. You should have died so that I wouldn't have to kill you myself." Justin said pulling out a handgun and aiming it at Alex. "It wasn't supposed to be this way Alex but this is the only way that I could get my powers without you giving them to me. I refuse to take magic without earning it and killing you would allow Max and I to have a rematch and let's face it, he can't beat me." Justin then fired at Alex but the bullet just bounced off her.
While Justin talked, Alex cast a charm on herself protecting herself from any projectile as long as the armor covered her. "Justin, please, don't do this." Alex said as she pulled out her gun. "I don't want to hurt you." Alex begged.
"To bad because I could care less about you." Justin said attacking Alex knowing that Alex cast a charm on herself seeing as how his bullet bounced off of her so he couldn't very well shoot her. "You don't deserve magic Alex." Justin said throwing a punch at Alex who blocked it. Justin then grabbed onto Alex's arm and flung her into a vent. Justin reached for Alex's helmet but Alex managed to kick Justin in the stomach and then punched him in the face making him fly backward. Justin wiped his mouth to see if he's bleeding but no blood appeared. Justin then ran at Alex and then two went into a kicking and punching frenzy. "I will have my powers Alex and I will have my rematch without you to interfere." Justin finally managed to knock Alex to the ground and then ripped of her leg armor and then threw it over the building.
"Justin, stop." Alex said trying to stand up but Justin kept her pinned until she kicked him in the groin.
Justin stumbled backward but quickly recovered and grabbed onto his gun. Justin quickly fired before Alex could reach her gun and shot her in the leg. Alex fell to the ground in pain holding onto her leg. She then forgot about her leg and aimed her gun at Justin but he kicked the gun out of her hand. Justin then shot Alex in the leg two more times and then stepped hard on her leg breaking her leg. Alex screamed in pain and tried to kick Justin away with her good leg but he simply blocked it. Justin then grabbed onto Alex's leg and twisted it making her leg bone pierce her skin and then he ripped off Alex's helmet. "It's over Alex." Justin said getting ready to fire when a figure jumped and tackled Justin to the ground. "Mason." Justin said angrily and then kicked him off and into a vent. Justin then turned to see Alex crawling for her gun. Justin ran over and before Alex could reach her gun, Justin grabbed Alex's broken leg and pulled Alex back toward him causing Alex to scream.
"Stay away from her!" Mason yelled jumping onto Justin's back but was soon ripped off by someone.
"You stay away from my husband." Gigi said now fighting with Justin.
Justin once again aimed his gun at Alex but this time Juliet came flying in and tackled Justin to the ground and scratched him across the face. Justin screamed a bit and then felt his face and felt the thick liquid of his blood. "Justin, leave her alone, she is your sister." Justin then head butt Juliet knocking her out and then shot her arm.
"Don't interfere." Justin said turning and shooting Mason in the leg. He then turned to Alex and found that she isn't there. Justin just smiled as he followed the blood trail but when he turned the corner, a gun shot was heard and then two more shots were heard. Justin felt his stomach and blood rushed out of him. "I can still end you." Justin said slowly raising his gun.
"I'm sorry Justin." Alex then fired a shot into his leg and he went over the edge of the roof. Just then Gigi came around the corner of the vent and then left and came back with an axe in her hand.
"How dare you?" Gigi said cutting off Alex's broken leg and then went in for the kill but Mason managed to reach her before hand and threw her away and tossed the axe over the roof. Gigi then made a run for it and left with her child. Alex soon fainted.
When Alex woke, she found herself in a hospital bed. She looked around and found Mason and Juliet standing next to her. "How you feeling Alex?" Mason asked.
Alex didn't say anything but she did smile a bit and then some doctors came into the room. "Alex, you're awake. Mason, Juliet, let's leave Alex and let her parents see her alone?" The two nodded and left as both Jerry and Theresa walked in. The doctor turned to them and smiled. "Alex will be fine but she has lost her leg." Theresa and Jerry nodded with tears running down there face.
Alex was shocked at the moment and looked to see that her leg isn't real. Just then Miss Hanson came into the room. "I have something for Alex that she will want to see." Miss Hanson said and then doctor and Alex's parents nodded. Alex was handed a small piece of paper. "This was found in your brothers' home. You're brother wanted you to have this." Miss Hanson then left as Alex opened up the piece of paper.
Day before the competition
Alex red this and found that it's a diary entry and then continued.
Tomorrows the day we decide who gets to keep their powers. I can't wait to see who wins. I doubt greatly that Max will win but he is so much like Uncle Kelbo that he just has no chance. Alex on the other hand, she worries me a bit, she may actually have a chance to win. She always has been better wizard then me. I guess I'm kind of jealous of that fact but despite that, I know that Alex deserves to win if she does. She really is a great wizard and no matter who wins, no one can tell her otherwise. Though they can say she is irresponsible but I digress. Even if Alex does end up winning, I will always help her, how can I not; she is my sister after all. No matter what happens, I won't let us end up like Aunt Megan and her brothers. Last thing I want is for Alex to hate me or visa-versa. All I really know is that we will always have each others back but I better go train some more, I don't want to be beat to badly if Alex does win. LOL.
PS: I should probably put a date on this though I think that tomorrow will be a big enough event that I won't need one.
Alex covered her mouth and started crying. Her brother had expected her to win but he didn't expect for him to go nuts because of not having his powers. Alex threw the piece of paper toward her feet and then raised her real knee up to her face and started crying into it. Then both her parents read what was on the paper and then looked at Alex sadly and then cuddled with her.
