A/N: I'm just going to call Melinda max until she is a girl again.
Max's POV
My eyes snap open and I sigh in relief. 'Leo saved us!' I look around for Chris. Chris where are you? I try to say but all that comes out is a panicked gagging noise. I turn my head and scream against the duct tape. Chris is standing against the wall he is gagged and his arms are chained above his head his legs chained to the wall as well. Chris's neck has a metal cuff around it, holding his head up. Looking closer I realize his legs are chained above the ground. His arms and head are the only things supporting his weight. Chris's face is covered in sweat and his skin is deathly pale. His skinny frame convulses and blood oozes from his stomach and nose. I take in my position, I am chained and gagged like Chris, but unlike him I am conscious and I'm not bleeding. Looking at Chris again I suddenly know why he's so pale. Chris convulses again and lets out a low painful moan as the blood pours out of the hole in his stomach, the hole where the darklighter arrow pierced his body. 'Leo didn't save us,' I realize, 'Leo was going to let us die, we were saved by creatures of the Underworld!'
Hey guys I'm almost home. I will update ASAP
