Chapter Twenty-Two: Lexa
Chapter Twenty-Two
~ Lexa ~
I stared in disbelief at Grey and S, my anger growing.
“I cannot believe you two!” I shouted.
Something had made me walk down to the exit closest to the village. I walked there thinking I could get some clarity on the situation that was about to happen in a few hours, only to find Grey and Aspen gasping for air as if they had been running. It turns out, they had been.
“You put us all in danger! And for what?!” I was livid.
“Listen, Lex, I can explain.” Grey tried to reason.

Chapter Twenty-Three~ Aspen ~ Despite my attempts at arguing, the boys insisted that we leave right now. I was exhausted after my little adventure with Grey. Using my powers always took a lot out of me, probably because I didn’t do it often. If there was one thing most people could agree on, it was that everyone has the right to make their own choices. My power takes that away. That’s why I hate it. I wasn’t beating myself up too much, because I knew those men were going to hurt us, but I still didn’t like it. We could’ve found a different solution, but I panicked and that was the easiest way to get us out. I had the urge to pack a bag. It’s what I've done ea
In Between Lies Chapter Twenty-Four: Lexa
Chapter Twenty-four~ Lexa ~ I sighed as I packed my tent away for what seemed like the millionth time in my life. I felt embarrassed about the way I had broken down earlier. I had been so mad and scared and overwhelmed. But I was fine now. Grey had helped me calm down. He was like this older brother to me that sometimes was a total dick, but sometimes, he remembered to show he cared. A rarity. But so was Grey with hope. For the first time in years, he was being I don’t even know, but the best I could describe it was, he was more human. In fact, he was so hopeful that S was going to pull through for us, that it was his idea to tell everyone to pack up. I was less certain of this decision. Not that I didn’t trust S. I did. I had no choice but to trust her. But what if
In Between Lies Chapter Twenty-Five: Aspen
Chapter Twenty-Five~ Aspen ~ I let go of Gracie and pushed past Will and E, determined to find Jax and Grey. There was no way I was letting them get stuck in that forest after everything. It would be my fault for suggesting this stupid place. I heard faint voices calling my name, but I wasn’t going to stop for anything. Not when there was an innocent family, including a baby, at risk. My eyes stung as I ran into the smokey tree line. I brought my arm up to cover my mouth and nose, but it did little to help.Visibility was practically nonexistent as I moved further in. My clothes felt sticky as the raging heat wrapped around me. I kept moving. It was the only thing I could do. Since I was practically running blind, I let my instincts guide me. Sudd
In Between Lies Chapter Twenty-Six: Lexa
Chapter Twenty-Six~ Lexa ~ I woke up screaming, and Will ran in his arrows out, ready to fight. I looked around and realized it was a dream. There was no fire. There was no one trying to kill me. My mother was already dead. There was nothing an arrow could do. “Lexa, what’s wrong?” Will demanded, but he was already lowering his arrow as he realized nothing was amidst. “Dream,” I gasped, still trying to catch my breath. I didn’t know how we were keeping our air clean when there w
In Between Lies Chapter Twenty-Seven: Aspen
Chapter Twenty-Seven ~ Aspen ~ I sighed tiredly as I switched a load of clothes from the washer to the dryer. Both had been running almost constantly since we arrived a week ago. Everyone had settled into their new home as if they’d always been here. They were enjoying the amenities I’d always taken for granted like clean clothes, hot food, and a warm shower for the first time. It was actually really endearing to watch their faces light up with each new luxury. I hadn’t gotten much rest. Each day, making sure everyone was okay and knew how to use everything around them took up all of my time. I saw E the most, and that was only for a quick check in once a day. I honestly had no idea what the others were doing. Will and Jax were usually off somewhere goofing around or stoppin
In Between Lies Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lexa
Chapter Twenty-eight~ Lexa ~“Harder!” Will called out as I moved to hit his gloves again.“Better,” He called out again as I threw another punch.The truth was, neither of us really needed to be training. We had been training our whole lives. And yes, we needed to get better, but both of us were going over the top with it. We spent hours and hours in our make-shift gym away from everyone. I had taken a run earlier around our perimeters with Will and Grace this morning. And we were going on hour 6 today of a grueling workout. Any second we weren’t on duty or supposed to be asleep, we were training.I was grateful that Grey had decided to creat

Chapter Twenty-Nine~ Aspen ~“That was a bit mean, don’t you think?” I asked Grey once E and Will were out of earshot.He bent down to pick up a pair of boxing gloves that they’d left on the squishy floor. It was a weird mixture of rubber and plastic that almost bounced under our weight.“Lexa doesn’t take care of herself.” He held the gloves out for me to take. “So I usually have to.”I nodded in understanding and slipped my hands into the gloves. Even if that wasn’t true, I knew Grey felt responsible for everyone under this roof. He did have a soft spot for E, though. The two of them were close in their own weird wa

Chapter Thirty~ Lexa ~“Lexa?” It was Jax who opened the door this time.I had thought Will would come after me, but the feeling in my stomach said maybe he would never follow me again. Maybe no one should.“Yea?” I called out, trying to keep my voice even.“Are you okay?” He asked as he sat down on the bench next to me.“I’m great. Never better.” I answered, but even I could hear the slight shrill in my voice.“Oh, so you’re not mad at Grey?” Jax probed.
