A/N: Okay, who's ready for another chapter? Thanks in advance for reading and sticking with me. I'm working towards the end. I think maybe 2 or 3 chapters to go. Are you ready?

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Just like in the stories.

Kim's POV

I have to admit. It's brilliant. They have it completely figured out. If this works, Jack will be a legend. He will probably be one anyway, I mean he's the first ever to defy Cray. He's basically the leader of the "rebellion". I look at the boys around me, their faces are set. They're going to go through with it. That means I have to go through with it. I'm terribly nervous. Why did I agree to this again. Right. Because it's a better option than walking into Cray's camp without a plan. We're moving between the trees, it's a beautiful day. There's sun and the skies are blue. Still I can feel a storm coming. There's this sense of pressure in the air.

I can tell that some of the guys are actually excited. Jack isn't. His face is the same stone cold mask I've gotten used to by now. Jason's face is grim. I know he doesn't like a big part of the plan, but Jack basically forced him to agree. The youngest boy, who apparently they call Max, is almost skipping through the trees. I'm trying to keep my mind of things, unlucky me, my mind drifts to my brother. Would he be looking for me? Does he assume I'm captured. Has he figured out I'm working with the thief's, not against them.

I haven't even noticed it but we're almost at camp. Jack touches my arm, that was a good move. Otherwise I would just have walked straight into camp. Well that would have been quite a disaster. And chaos for that matter. When I turn to Jack for instructions he looks at us all intently. 'Guys, I just want to apologize in advance for getting you in this mess, and I want to promise I'll do everything I can to get you out.' His voice is so sincere. I never thought about how Jack feels about all this. Maybe I just kind of assumed it was normal, these kind of things.

We move, into the lion's den. Jack's the first to move from between the last line of trees. The buzzing in camp stops. There's a deep silence. Jason grabs my wrists. I struggle against his strong grip but it's useless. 'Jason.' I say. What's happening. He pushes me forward through the trees. 'We brought a present.' Jason says loudly. For the first time I get a good look at this infamous camp. It's basically just a collection of tents with a campfire in the middle. One of the tents is bigger. I assume this is Crays. I try to get Jason's strong grip of my wrists. But well, it's useless, he's a lot stronger than me.

'Is Cray here?' It's the first time Jack speaks, his presence seems to do something to the others. They shuffle uncomfortably. Murmur amongst themselves. 'I asked you something.' Jack says coldly. 'No, he's out with Chris looking for you.' A voice somewhere, behind a few others speaks. Jack looks at Jason, and smiles. It's a cold smile. A smile I would think Cray has. 'Well, I guess then we wait.' He says and drops himself on a log around the fire. I'm surprised that he is so cold and distant. Jason pulls me along to another log. I make another attempt to break free, but as I had predicted I fail.

The others appear from the woods. Rick sits down next to Jack and Max skips to Jason. 'Who's the girl Jack?' A more brave boy asks. He turns and smiles a sneaky smile. 'Like Jason said, a present.' He turns back and locks eyes with me. His eyes have honestly never seemed so cold. Deep inside I'm actually pretty scared of him. The silence is broken by Jack. 'Where's the rest?' he turns to his audience. They seem confused. 'The other Bows?' he speaks slowly as if he's talking to a child. 'Haven't you heard?' a small boy in the front of the circle asks. Jack motions for him to come forward. He pats on the log next to him. The kid hesitates for just a second, but then he sits down next to Jack.

'Tell me, what should I have heard?' He's pretending not to have seen it. Not to have seen that his friends got captured. The boy swallows. 'Jerry, Eddie and Milan were caught sneaking around camp. Chris told Cray you and Jason and them were working with the princess to take him down. Malcolm was there too.' The boy says in a soft voice. Like he's afraid someone will stop him. Jack is quiet for a good thirty seconds. And then he laughs, a real "hahaha" laugh. 'That's crazy, and Cray believed him?' he really seems to find this all very amusing.

'Yeah, they went out to look for you.' Jack snickers again. 'And where did they leave the poor guys.' He asks, an amused smile still on his face. Even though Jason and I both know it's very important he finds this out. 'Just behind his tent in the forest.' The little boy snickers. He seems to think whatever Jack thinks is funny, he should find funny too. He whispers into Jacks ear, quite loudly may I add: 'I think they tied them to a tree.' Jack grins at the kid and low fives him. The boy skips back to the others. Jack makes eye contact with Jason. 'You hear that man, they tied them to a tree. O what I would give to see that.'

'I could show you.' The boy chimes in again. Jack looks at Jason. He shrugs. 'Go ahead, I'll stay here and wait for Cray.' Jason says as if he finds this really annoying. Jack grins gets up and follows the little kid. The others move out of his way immediately. When they're out of sight things turn a bit more relaxed. Jason let's go of my hands and says loudly: 'Don't even think about running. The boys will stop you. Right?' he says raising his eyebrows to the boys around him. There're some hums and nods.

Jack's POV:

We move between the line of trees. There are Jerry, Milan and Eddie. 'I took you long enough.' Jerry immediately says with his big mouth. I glare at him and he seems to realize. Milan shakes his head and laughs. The kid looks at me. 'So, so. Chris was telling the truth?' His blue eyes are wide and scared. 'Relax kid, if you don't tell on me, I won't hurt you.' I tell him, pretending to be very relaxed. I walk towards them. 'Come on kid.' I tell the young boy, I think his name is Daniƫl. He hesitantly follows me to the others. As I pull my knife from my belt he flinches.

I cut the ropes around their hands and Milan stretches his arms above his head. 'Seriously. It took you look enough.' I roll my eyes. 'I had to have some sort of plan you know. We had to have a plan.' I grin at them, I'd never admit it out loud, but these guys mean a lot to me. Thief's or not. 'Yeah, and who is "we" now exactly. After the little Chris incident I'd like to know.' My smile falls for just a second, not long enough for them to pick up.

'Chris is not on our side. As far as I know, Jason, you three, Rick, Max, Kalem, Ty and Paul are.' Milan nods. I can tell he's really pissed with Chris. If he sees him, it's not going to be pretty. 'How's your head Jer?' I ask him. He looks up, I can clearly see a bump on his head, it doesn't seem to severe though. He smiles. 'Great man, I'm fine. Sitting tied up against a tree must have done something right.' We laugh. Eddie comes up to me and puts a hand on my shoulder.

'Thanks Jack, for not leaving us to hang.' He grins. 'Yeah, thanks.' Milan ads. I shake my head. 'You save me, I save you.' I tell them referring to when they broke me out. 'Technically me and Milan weren't involved in that.' Eddie reminds me. I raise my eyebrow to him. 'Want me to tie you up again, I mean I can do that.' I tell him, shrugging. Eddie laughs. 'No, no, no. Forget I said anything.' He grins. I laugh. 'Okay buddy.' I grin.

All of the sudden Milan frowns. 'What?' I ask him. He looks around, scans the environment twice. Then he looks up at me, takes a deep breath and asks: 'Where's the kid?' it takes me maybe two seconds to realize who he means. I don't even bother to look around. The kid who brought me here, is gone. O no. I'm in big trouble. Just as I turn to go after him we hear a piercing scream, one that makes it feel like the blood in my veins turn to ice. Without even thinking I start running. Jumping between the trees, not caring how much sound I make.

A/N: Yay! Thanks for reading. Review please!
