Fifteen –

Chloe's POV

"Nice to see the Uniter is finally up," Zane snarled.

"Zane," I hissed.

He smirked. He turned to Mimi and made a tsk-tsk sound.

"You weren't supposed to be here you know," he said. "You just got in my way when I was going to take her."

"What are you talking about?" I demanded the same time that Mimi asked, "How did I get in your way?"

"No one was supposed to see me take her. You would've told Alek and he would've known who took his precious Chloe."

I really doubted that. Mimi would've jumped at the opportunity to get rid of me so she could have Alek all to herself. Mimi stayed quiet after that. I didn't know what to say either. Zane looked at me.

"I bet you're protectors are worried about you," he said. Did he know that Jasmine and Valentina lived? "I know they survived my attack. Next time they won't be so lucky."

"There's not going to be a next time."

"Both parties should've received my text."

"Parties?" I asked in confusion.
"Amy and Paul, and Alek and Jasmine of course," he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. What did he send them?

Zane's phone rang in his pocket. He left the room to go answer it.

I slumped against the wall, and then perked up at the idea I just had.

"We're so getting out of here now," I said.

"But how-"

"Just wait," I told her. "I'm the Uniter. You said it yourself that I'm more powerful than the rest of you."

I thought about Alek, Jasmine, my mom, Amy, and Paul – wanting so badly to get back to them. I could feel something stirring inside me, the same feeling I felt when I watched that Jackal beat up Alek and Kai. I pulled against my restrains. The shock didn't hurt as much this time. I continued to pull against it. I felt my binds give away little by little. I gritted my teeth in concentration. The shock traveled up my arm. I was going to kill Zane before he could kill me. With one long tug, I broke through the binds. I rubbed my wrists, feeling the indents that the binds gave me from it digging in my skin. I looked at Mimi. Even if I didn't like her, I had a duty as the Uniter to protect my kind. I bent down beside her, and gripped the right chain.

"What are you doing?"

"Saving us both," I said. "I don't like you, but I'm not going to let you die either."

She actually looked relieved. I pulled the chain with all my might and it gave away. I went to the other chain and yanked it off the wall. I broke the cuffs off her wrists.

"Thanks," she mumbled. I shrugged.

"So how are we gonna do this?" she asked. I hadn't thought about that.

"Do you have a phone?" I asked.

"He took both of ours," she said. I sighed. Okay, next plan. This one was a little crazy but I think I can get us both out of here.

"Okay, I have an idea. When I shout go, you better run okay?"

"What are you gonna do?"

I closed my eyes. "You'll see."

I listened for any sign of Zane. I finally located him. He was coming back.

"Get ready," I told Mimi. She nodded. The doorknob rattled and then the door swung open. I ran and flung myself at Zane, knocking us both into the far wall.

"GO!" I shouted. Mimi took off. I kicked Zane in the stomach, he bend over in pain. I used my elbow and hit him in the back of the neck, rendering him unconscious.

I caught sight of my phone and Mimi's. Snatching both, I ran down the hall to the front door. It was left open, which I was grateful for. Mimi was waiting for me by the opening of the woods.

"I thought you would've been gone."

"I was supposed to be." She gave me a small smile. "You saved my life."

"I'm the Uniter. I have a duty to all of you, those of you on my side at least."

I handed her, her phone and we started running through the woods. My ears picked up something else while we were in the heart of the forest. Another set of footsteps.

"We're being followed!" I said. Mimi's expression turned worried. Inside, I was feeling the same way.

Jasmine's POV

I could honestly admit that we were lost. I scanned the area, nothing but trees.

"How are we supposed to find her?" I asked. "She could be anywhere!"

"I don't know," Alek admitted in a frustrated voice. "But I'm following my instincts and they're telling me to go this way."

"I swear if we die from this I will never forgive you in the afterlife," I warned him.

"At least we'll die trying to save the Uniter," he said. I glared at him.

"Need I remind you, I almost lost my life twice?"

"Need I remind you that I almost lost mine as well," he shot back. I sighed. I didn't wanna fight with Alek. Not with his girlfriend missing.

"So do we go north, south, east or west?" I asked. Alek closed his eyes for a moment.

"West," he whispered. He opened his eyes and looked at me. I nodded. West it was.

We ran west, dodging everything in our path. I prayed to Baset that there would be something – anything – that we could find that would be useful to us. I don't know how much miles we covered, but after running nonstop for about what seemed to be forever; Alek yanked himself to a stop.

"What?" I asked. I sucked in a few gulps of air until my heart rate calmed down, it didn't take too long, a minute or two at the most.

"I…I thought I heard something," he said slowly.

"Like what?" I asked. He titled his head and listened.

"Running," he said. "Someone's running in our direction."

"Chloe?" I asked hopefully.

"I hope so."

I listened in with him. Someone was definitely headed this way. But there was another sound, I realized. Another set of footsteps, pounding the ground gaining speed.

"We gotta hide!" Alek hissed. I jumped up the nearest tree, and Alek did the same, landing on the branch beside me. The branches hid us from view, but we could see everything else clearly. Alek and I tensed at the same time as a scream filled the air.

Review. I'll update as soon as I can, promise. There's a reason I made Chloe save Mimi, you'll see why later.
