Chapter Forty-Three

There was always those few things in life you regret.

And this was just another one of them when I felt his breathe against my neck, the warmth sending a shiver through my body as I turned around, hazel eyes coming into view, making it all seem a bit to real.

No, it can't be

My words got stuck in my mouth and my eyes followed where his palm was still wrapped around my wrist, a possessive hold.

It looked different, it looked...stronger.

Following up his forearm I could see a vein straining, he put on weight, not the bad kind, the good kind. Not the kind where you needed the gym, the kind you got after you hit the gym.

All the way up to the inner flesh of the elbow, where you bent your arm, where his tanner skin disappeared into a black form fitting shirt, the material straining against his bicep before I traced my eyes over the shoulder and to the collar, where the top two buttons were undone revealing more skin.

Tracing up the throat, past the Adams apple, over his pink lips and to his eyes where he was staring at me with the same curiosity and disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I would let you go," he said tightening his hold, to where it was painful, to where it was cutting of my blood circulation. "But I still remembered what you said," he chuckled, his voice sounded...deeper, "You would shot me without thinking twice," he leaned in closer and I was too frozen to lean back, "And I know you would,"

I probably would, his voice had scared me beyond belief, everything I had blocked or tried to, came back at me. Like a six foot two tsunami wave, he didn't grow taller? Did he?

"You know, your parents are proud of you, still haven't lost your moves,"

Nik was on the floor beside us saying something, panicking, but I didn't hear it, my mind elsewhere as my heart rapidly beat against my chest. I felt my breathe constricted. My fingers loosened on the gun I was holding but enough to still grasp it before it fell. 

"I almost didn't recognize you at first," he leaned in closer, and the familiar smell teased my nose, a tantalizing smell, as he whispered the last words softly, "But who can not recognise that arse huh?"

I could say the same about you. His jaw looked firmer than before, the slight hint of a man's stubble, and a soft scar on the base of his neck on the right side under his ear, hell why did I even notice that?

"Your hair," His fingers suddenly brushed my lower back tugging on my pony tail making me wince and tilt my chin up, "It's longer," he said thoughtfully, letting go of me and taking a step back rubbing his chin, "I think I...like it,"

Nik made a sound on the ground and my eyes went to him, I nearly forgot he was there, right, what the hell was I doing.

I raised my gun in no time, "You shouldn't have let go," I said taking the safety off. I would have pressed the trigger if something or someone didn't push me from beside making me lose my footing and fall, the gun went off and Nik screamed as it hit the grass near him.

Two hands stabled me, his hands, feeling stronger and warmer than I had ever felt them before.

"You shot me!" screamed Nik and I rolled my eyes as he ran his hands over himself, "Okay no false alarm,"

I turned around, "Eden? What the hell?" I asked confused as he picked up my dropped gun shoving it at me, "They found us,"

I looked at Daniel, "Well no fucking shit," I said exasperated. I waved my gun pointing to Daniel who moved out of the way, "You don't understand," Eden said pulling NIk up and dropping him when he realised Nik couldn't move.

"This is just perfec-," Eden's sentence got cut of by another girly scream from Nik as we all ducked hearing a bullet.

I raised my gun pointing it to Daniel, "I told you," I yelled feeling my vocals strained. It was almost as painful to talk than to see his pretty face in my vision.

"Isandra don't!" Eden leaped at me again but it was too late, I pressed the trigger, but nothing came out.

"What the fuck," I swore clicking it again, no bullets, "Oh this is just perfect," 

I bent down grabbing for my sock if it wasn't for Eden shoving me to the ground, our scurry losing the bullets i had grabbed. You Jerk. I didn't wait to search for them, not when I spotted a really thick stick and shot up rushing towards it.

Eden's futile attempts of grabbing my leg failing. 

"What is she doing?" I heard Daniel ask as I marched off from them. I didn't want to listen,  I wanted to  hit. How dare he come back, after everything i did for him.

After everything

After I tried to save him. I felt my eyes sting and I shut them, I wasn't going to cry, again, for him. 

When I shot him I cried. When he was on the headlines, I cried. He wasn't going to make me cry again.

I picked it up turning around and they both got the hint, "Sandy don-fuck" I whacked him straight over the head while Eden kept trying to pull me back.

"What the hell is your problem," I asked Eden swinging the heavy stick or mini log at him and hitting his ribs. He doubled over near Nik who was in pain but still had the smart to mutter, "I told you she hits hard,"

 I turned back to Daniel who was too busy rubbing the back of his head swearing and struck his leg making him fall onto the ground, palms first. 

"Eden give me your gun," I yelled keeping my eyes on Daniel, I didn't want him to get away.

I gave this mother fucker a chance and he was back. He knew what was going to happen. Trying to ignore how I could see a bit of blood seep down the back of his neck, concentrate.

Shit did I hurt him b-no kill that ungrateful bastard

Daniel sprung up and grabbed the stick as I tried hitting him again, his eyes narrowng dangerously, a cold look in his eyes that scared me, "I said stop," He nearly snarled grabbing the stick with force I didn't realise he possessed. I let it go making him fall back slightly and raised my leg to kick him.

Except it was like he anticipated that move, letting his left hand grab my leg before it could kick him and spin it so it was my turn to face palm the ground. I ignored the pain that shot up my nose and face and rolled before he could strike me again and sprung up.

"I am going to kill you," I yelled. It was like he trained, his moves were different, faster as his arms came up to block mine, he moved his feet before I could strike, and I didn't like it. It felt like a new person was in front of me, an unrecognizable person.

"Sandy j-," I took the distraction to punch him, straight in the stomach knocking the air out of his lungs as he fell to his feet gasping.

"Gun now!" I said holding a hand out, expecting a heavy solid in my hands, but there wasn't none.

"Eden," I looked behind me and froze, where did they come from. Eden was busy trying not to get punched by someone I didn't even recognize.

Carter, where was Carter! I pulled my phone from the back of my pocket, where the hell was back up?

No signal perfect, throwing my phone in frustration I didn't realise Daniel had gotten up from the ground until he tackled me.

"Jesus, Sandy, will you just listen for a second," he grabbed my hand before I punched him, He dodged my kick, damn it, he was good.

I ducked as he tried grabbing me and heard a gunshot.

"Sandy ju-," he swore when my fist connected with his jaw. Did he really thing this was the time to talk? I spotted my bullet less gun on the ground and picked it up, "That has no bullets," 

One hand was out, palm facing me like he was warning me while the other flew to his jaw, "So, I can still use it," I hit him over the head, hard, and his eyes nearly rolled back before he collapsed onto the ground.

I turned around running over to  help Eden. Spotting his gun tucked in the back of his jeans I pulled it out and shot the guy he was on top of, the body going limp.

"Shit thanks," he said breathless as I helped him up and walked to Nik, "Nik, move or you are going to di-," a gunshot made us all jump back down as more people came out. I recognised some, where had I seen them before?

Eden and I swapped looked, "Do they look like palace guards?" I asked. Their moves reminded me too much of people training. 

"Move and we will shoot you," A voice came out. Eden and I stilled, Nik also stopping his moaning.

There were six of them, two of us. If only we had another gun. Where was Carter and Alex? 

And my question was answered when Jax came out of the trees, being dragged by another two men, that made eight of them against two of us and thrown onto the ground.

My heart froze, they had him.

"Stay where you are," A gun was pointed when I went to help him and I bit my lip, sure, let's just leave the bleeding king to be. 

"What the hell do you want," Eden asked from behind me. I looked at him. Were they really going to answer that Eden?

"Nik,"

Okay they were.

"No!," Nik screamed from behind me and I narrowed my eyes. No Nik, we weren't going to give you up.

I felt tugging on the bottom of my pants and looked down, it was Nik mouthing and nodding his head.

What?

"Don't let them take me," 

Was he eating my pants?

He was biting down on them, like a nervous child and I kicked him off by waving my leg.

"Just hand him over and y-," a gunshot sounded making us all jump before the man talking fell down. My heart skipped a beat when I saw more people come, back up.

I saw Carter come out, this time these people were the palace guards, royal blue uniform with the golden sash. 

His blue eyes met mine, from across the field and he signalled to me.

I nodded, the message was clear.

Get Nik out.

"I'm going to drag you," I said suddenly looking at Nik, his eyes wide. 

I followed his gaze to Daniel, he was stirring, shit, I didn't have time for this!

"Let's go," I yelled all over the noises of people fighting, gunshots and screams. I bent down picking Nik up, his arm wrapped around my shoulder as I lifted him up, "Just ignore the pain," I said.

"It hurts,"  he moaned and I tried not to shoot his arm so  his pain was diverted.

I got him to his feet, "Let's go, walk, apply all pressure to your uninjured leg," 

He nodded holding his pain in as he limped towards the trees, at least we could get cover, hide him and come back to get the others.

My heart skipped a beat, where was Alex.

Was he alive?

He was meant to be with Jax. Alex would be fine I told myself Nik as far as I can. I ignored the trees scratching me as I helped him duck under them to get him moving.

Priority, save him.

I winced as something scratched against my cheek, so close to my eye. My eye twitched, my eyelid trying to close to protect the eyeball.

"How much further?"

"Just a bit Nik, you can do this," I said trying to hold his weight, but damn the guy was heavy. He stopped making me stagger at his sudden weight, "Come on Nik, just a bit further," 

"I don't think so," I looked over my shoulder, Nik let go off his hold around me dropping to the ground.

A gun, pointed straight at me, "Let him go or I kill you, well I would actually kill you either way," he let out a laugh and my hands went to my gun, except there was no gun tucked in there. Damn it. 

All I knew was I had a knife, tucked into my shin, but he needed to get close.

"Shooting me win a gun," I scoffed making him narrow his eyes, "If you're really a man, fight me,"

Of course urging him was a mistake but I had to fight him, hand to hand. 

He let out a laugh, "Yeah hit a girl sure,"

"You're just scared," I said crossing my arms. I could see his neck going red, oh yeah, angry, take it out. He took a step forward his grey eyes hardening at me, "Fuck you, I know what you are doing." He said.

I heard the safety go off and my heart skipped a beat, shit, Alex where are you?

"I won't fall for it, don't you think I've heard stories about you," he took another step forward, "And I will be known as the man who took you down, I will be famous" I saw his finger move on the trigger, before I could react something hit the side of me making me fall onto Nik as I heard it go off.

What was with people and ramming straight into me?

"Shit," I swore getting of Nik and moving fast grabbing the gun from him and turning it around and shooting him, he was too stunned staring and I grabbed his gun turning around. Pain shot up my right ankle, no doubt a twisted ankle.

"Daniel?"

He knocked me out of the way?

He groaned laying next to Nilk who was screaming, "Get him away from me,"

I just stood, not like he could move, he was shot. Daniel got up to his knee, his hand clutching his right shoulder, "Shit," he swore his brown eyes flicking up to me.

"Don't stare, get him out of here,"

I stared before I nodded confused, "Go, get out," he layed back on the ground closing his eyes, "I  hate getting shot," He groaned as his breathing slowed down, to deep slow breathes to control the pain and I looked at Nik looked pale before he passed out.

Deja fucking Vu

"You have to be kidding me." I crouched beside him smacking his face, "Wake up Nik," There was no way I was going to move him on the ground.

I looked at how many bullets were left, three, that was enough. I closed it putting the safety off as I heard footsteps, I stood up raising the gun and stopped when I saw it was Alex.

"What happened to you?" I rushed over crouching down, as he crouched down on the ground, there was a gash running across his chest, the blood seeping into his white shirt.

"J-jax," he groaned coughing blood, that wasn't a good sign.

"No no, stay conscious, Jax is fine, Carter and Eden have him," I said not sure what to do. Alex was bleeding on my hands, "Alex don't," I said as he closed his eyes. The wound was so deep.

I bit my lip at the stirring feeling in my stomach, oh god no. "You're my only family, wake up," I pinched his skin hard and his eyes flew open.

"Isandra, I can-," he coughed more blood out, that wasn't a good sign. 

"I swear, if you die on me, I will come to hell and kill you again," I felt my eyes sting as the man in my arms started to breathe slower. 

He let out a weak chuckle his breathing laboured. 

"Ja-."

"Jax is fine, stop worrying about him," I said annoyed, worry about your bleeding self. He shook his head.

"NO," he said louder annoyed, and then closed his eyes in pain, I narrowed my eyes confused, "What no?"

"Jax is the o-," He took deep breathe. "one who hit me,"

My stomach lurched, "Who hit you?" I asked. Did I just hear him say?

"Jax wants to kill Nik," 

Alex took a deep breathe his hand sinking into his gash, trying to stop the bleeding.

"What?" I breathed out.

"Aw, isn't this cute, a brother trying to save his sister," the voice made me run cold as I stood up, and turned around, sure enough Jax, the least wounded, or looked wounded, was staring at us all scratching his chin with the gun.

And now this ladies and gentleman, is what I call a plot twist. xx Love you all, Next update, in a week.
