*Hints of sexual intentions and hints of abusive behavior. Also panic attack and collapsed lung. Yes, I can be evil. Sorry this has taken a while to put anything up. I've been busy and writers block can be horrible. Enough excuses on my part. I hope you like it. Personally, I love this movie! :) happy reading!*

We were rushed onto a plane with hardly any ceremony and plenty of rushed movements. Everyone rushed into their seats as Walter telephoned the pilot. Him and his father looked so excited that they had finally captured us.

"You know, you make it almost too easy. I mean, even your hilarious attempts to make yourselves unpredictable just follows the same pattern each time. Setup, setup, setup, big reveal. Which tonight was going to be... stroke of midnight, middle of the Thames? Tell me if I'm wrong." He stared down at Daniel, picking up that he was correct from face cues alone. Danny looked away and Walter smirked in satisfaction. "Well there will be a big reveal and it will come now." Walter demanded, his eyes flicking to his father before he subtly glanced my way with his creepy beady little eyes.

"The stick, dear boy." Arthur Tressler demanded, just as intimidating as his son.

"No." Dylan stated. Somehow he remained tough through their attempts at intimidation.

"Fine. Start with her." Walter shrugged to Lula, my best friend and we all started to panic. One of the men held a knife up to her throat.

"Hey." I moved, trying to stop them before the men grabbed me as well.

"Give it to them." Dylan stated, looking at Daniel with a hard stare. Daniel paused for a moment, considering his options. A very Danny thing to do.

"Danny, give him the card." Lula gave him so much attitude as the men moved the knife closer to her throat.

"Just give it to him." Dylan conceded, turning his gaze away from Danny.

"Danny, come on." I tried, sealing Danny out of his thoughts. He'd made a decision and pulled out the stick. I was forced back into a seat and Chase gave me a look from where he was standing, eyes as creepy as his masters.

"Let's have a closer look." Walter stated, grabbing the stick and putting it under a microscope. We all sat in uncomfortable silence. From where I was sitting I couldn't see Merritt's face, which was probably a good thing since he can be possessive about me and his brother is looking at me in a way that's really uncomfortable. Mentally I hoped nothing went wrong from this point on. Of course, nothing ever really goes to plan with my life.

Everybody started to bicker with each other and the things we were saying weren't pleasant to say or hear, but I had to remind myself that it didn't mean anything. This was all for show right now. To distract from the fake stick we had to give them.

"Yeah, yeah. Look, I'm sorry to interrupt but I just have to say congratulations. And thank you. It's real." Walter stated. We all glanced around each other. It's real. What? But I thought we'd given up the fake one? "Bring them through."

"Well done, my boy." Arthur stated, smirking along beside his son. Chase clapped, big creepy grin on his face. We all were stood up now, held by all of the guards. "Cote du Marisole champagne is the most expensive bottle on earth. 1.2 million dollars. And I saved it just for this occasion."

"Honestly, same bottle. Liquor shack. $700K." Merritt just always has to be a smartass. He had to say that to these crazy psycho's. What the hell was he thinking?

"You got what you wanted." Dylan started.

"So?" Arthur asked.

"Does this mean you'll let us go?" Dylan asked.

"Knowing what you know about us? No." Walter shook his eyes, glancing to me again. I felt myself shrink away slightly.

"You sure?" Dylan gave them one last chance to change their minds, but they were resolute.

"Chase, what should we do?" Chase grinned and opened the side door of the plane.

"Toss em out." Chase came up behind me and placed his hand on my hip. I flinched but otherwise stayed silent. Everyone else had to stay focused on the task at hand, instead of me. Everyone was shouting and being jostled around so much that nobody noticed when Chase and Walter grabbed me and slipped into one of the back rooms. They chained me to one of the chairs and grinned down at me.

One of them started to kiss me and rub my crotch while the other one starting hitting every part of my body that the other wasn't using. Soon I was bleeding and there were stars at the edge of my line of sight. Chase scoffed down at me and slapped me hard. My eyes jolted open and my heartbeat started to escalate. Everything had shut down. I couldn't hear, see, or make a sound. All I could feel was the thundering of my own heartbeat as it skyrocketed and the vibrations left by their laughing taunts. A couple minutes later and they left, leaving me bleeding and in pain behind. I only hoped the others would save me soon. I felt more than heard the shouts leaving from outside and the cheers of success at how well the Horsemen had done on this, most recent trick.

I could feel the energy of the crowd dwindling as they finished the show, wrapping up the holes when everything started to blur together. I could feel blood trickling down my face and other fluids mixing with it. Everything felt tingly and in pain. Someone came into the room but I couldn't see them. I could just barely make out the argument they were having with someone at the door to the room. Sirens were going off from somewhere and I felt myself wheeze through what was most likely a collapsed lung.

Scenes from my childhood began to play through my head. The abusive father that hit me and my mother. The kids who liked to mess around with me. The thieves in the alley's who liked to destroy every part of me. Someone was screaming, but I couldn't figure out who. Then everything disappeared, leaving me all alone in a gray void.

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@

Waking up hours later in an unfamiliar location was not something I liked. It just made me more stressed, until I felt the comforting hands of the others trying to make me calm. A soothing voice penetrated my ear. It took a few minutes to decipher that it was Merritt and another couple of minutes to figure out what he was saying.

"It's going to be alright. You'll be okay Jack. I promise. They can't hurt you anymore." My mind flashed back to what had happened on the plane and I let out a shriek. The room filled with images of people I know and don't recal. All of them looking concerned for my well-being. My screams grew louder, tearing me apart until all that was left was black in my vision. Tears leaked onto my face and I wheezed out in pain.

"It's..." Daniel's voice piped into my ears, making me settle slightly. The screams began to die on my lips until all that was left was gasps.

"Going..." Dylan's voice sounded just as calming. My vision began to brighten slightly.

"To be..." Lula put in her two cents. Everything grew silent in my ears except for their calming sentiments.

"Alright..." Merritt's voice. Different than his hypnotic voice, but just as calming. It made everything come into clarity. I was looking into the eyes of all my friends, my eyes blinking rapidly in the bright fluorescent lights.

"It's going to be alright." I whispered, gaining smiles from my 'audience'.

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@

About a month later I was all healed and we were all able to escape from the FBI and the police's clutches. I got to smile beside my friends again. Lula and I were laughing in the back seat of the van on our way to the eye's mansion, where we had been invited. Merritt was looking on with a mindful grin from the middle seat. Daniel was going over schematics beside him and I hadn't heard a single complaint, yet. Alma was sitting shotgun in deep conversation with Dylan who was driving.

Our next show was gonna be huge. At least that's what Alma had alluded to. She's already met the eye since she went on another assignment without us since our first show. It was clear that Dylan had missed her. That's the thing about the Horsemen. We may have our own goals, our own personalities, and our own issues to sift through. But we will always be a family. It's just what we are meant to do.

*Hope you enjoyed this. As we approach the end of summer vacation, be prepared for what's in store. Though, I may be busy I'll try to find time for you guys! happy reading!*
