"Marcus." I hear.
I wake up, but then immediately regret it. All I feel is pain; my whole body is engulfed in pain. I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping I could be blissfully unconscious right now. The moment my eyes shut more excruciating pain comes from my arm and the sound of being hit.
A voice accompanies the hit, "Get up." The voice hisses. I groan in pain as I open my eyes and see Douglas glaring at me.
"Why didn't you send me a text? You're lucky I saw the car or this perfect opportunity would of slipped by us. Now get up and help me move them." Douglas says then pulls me from the wreckage. I look down at my wounds, they are healing faster then normal human beings would, but they still hurt. I almost can't move because of it, but I do. My right ankle appears to be sprained, but I can feel it healing as I help Douglas pull Adam out of the drivers seat.
Adams nose is broken, from the air bag, and his head is bleeding. His right leg looks broken and he's unconscious, but his bionics will heal him. We move him to the car, and strap him in.
"Set his leg so it'll heal faster." Douglas says as he injects Adam with something. I look at the needle and wonder what it is.
Douglas seems to see the question in my eyes because he says, "It's a sedative so they won't wake up till we are in Russia."
I want to object, but my head hurts too much for me to construct a coherent sentence.
We then walk back to Tasha's van. "What about the others?" I croak.
"What others?" Douglas asks as he attempts to open the side door. It is stuck so he gestures for me to get it.
"They brought friends." I say. I grab the handle and use my super strength to open the door.
Brees limp body falls out, and is stopped by her seat belt. Her head is bleeding profusely; it looks like it hit the glass of the window.
"Get her in the car." Douglas says as he injects her with sedative.
I unbuckle her seat belt and then carry her to the car. I can't help but notice how small and weak Bree looks right now. The Bree I know is strong, and fills up a room with her personality. I gently place her next to Adam, and strap her in. I look at her face and can't help but notice how beautiful she is, I brush her hair out of her face.
"Marcus hurry up, Chase is stuck." Douglas yells. I roll my eyes, then wince at the action before heading toward the car.
I get in and rip the seat belt off of Chase before pulling him out of the car. I notice he's unconscious; the back of his head is swelling a little. He also has a few cuts and bruises over his body, but is relatively unscathed.
I put Chase next to Bree and strap him in. Then I shut the door and turn around to find Douglas getting in the drivers seat.
I stop him from closing the door. "Hey, what about Maya and Caitlin?"
He looks at me, "Who?" he answers slightly annoyed.
"The two girls in the car?" I say, trying not to raise my voice.
"Don't worry about them, someone will see the car in the ditch." Douglas brushes my comment off.
"No the wont, the ditch isn't visible from the road, plus the tire tracks are covered by the snow. They'll freeze to death before anyone realizes their missing, and it will take hours, or days to find the car. We can't just leave them." I argue.
Douglas looks irritated, "Get in the car, or I'll leave you here to die." He warns.
I roll my eyes, "No you wont. If you do I'll just find Donald and tell him about you." I say.
Douglas gets out of the car and grabs the back of my collar, "Get in the car now." He demands, and then pushes me toward the car.
"No." I defy.
He attempts to punch me but I catch it and push him back. It's the first time I've rebelled against him. He looks shocked but recovers quickly and tries again.
This time I block him and then kick him.
"I've had enough of your abuse." I say and the grab him and throw him away.
I hear someone stumbling around, so I look over my shoulder and see Maya helping a dazed Caitlin out of the van. Maya makes eye contact then looks over my shoulder.
Her eyes widen with panic and she yells, "Look out!"
I turn around and see Douglas behind me injecting me with a needle. I knew it was sedative, because the moment it enters my blood stream I feel drowsy, then exhausted, and then I fall to the ground and pass out. The last thing I see is Douglas approaching a scared Caitlin, and a defiant Maya. My eyes close and the pain washes away.
A/N Sorry for the shortness and the mini cliffhanger. But don't worry the next chapter will be up soon.
I hope you guys like it!

AwesomeWriter2013: Just the tiniest amount of romance in this chapter if you squint. I will include Marcus's thoughts of Bree, but probably no more romance than that. Sorry :( The next update should be tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
DecodeTheIgnorance: Congratulations on the account! I was on this site for a year before I decided to make one. It's a huge deal, or I'm just crazy. I hope this cliffhanger wasn't too agonizing. It turns out "Moderate Guest Reviews" was on, thanks for the warning; sometimes I'm such a ditz. Love the penname by the way! (P.S. being your first favorite story means so much, thank you! I literally smiled for at least an hour after that.)
