All Chapters of The Nexus Point : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

LENAI trudged through the dense forest, my senses on high alert as I scanned our surroundings for any signs of Eric and Pen or Maxine and Niklaus. Jax walked beside me, his eyes fixed on the path ahead."We should be close, I smell something" I whispered, checking the icon on my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.Jax nodded, his jaw clenched in determination. We had been searching for hours, and I knew he was getting anxious.Just as we rounded a bend in the path, I spotted a flash of color through the trees. My heart skipped a beat as I quickened my pace, Jax right behind me.As we burst into the clearing, I saw Eric and Pen huddled together, their faces pale and drawn looking ready for a fight. Relief washed over me as I rushed to their sides."Eric! Pen!" I exclaimed, helping them to their feet.Jax's eyes narrowed as he scanned their faces. "What the hell happened to you guys? I thought we were supposed to stick together" he demanded.Eric hesitated before answering. "W

MAXINE The day was getting dark and we still hadn't found the others so we decided to hasten up with our space boards which we had for emergency purposes.I strapped on my space board, feeling a rush of adrenaline as I prepared to take off. Klaus was already hovering beside me, his eyes scanning the surrounding area for any signs of danger."Ready?" he asked, his voice low and serious.I nodded, and together we launched into the air, our space boards propelling us forward with a burst of speed. We soared mildly above the ground as we still did not want to attract unwanted attention, the wind rushing past us as we made our way towards the meeting point.As we flew, I kept a sharp eye out for any signs of trouble. We had already been attacked once, and I knew that the Synod agents would be on high alert, looking for any opportunity to take us down.But despite my vigilance, we were caught off guard. One minute we were flying smoothly, the next we were under attack. A group of Synod age

NIKLAUS It was a long day and everyone was still reeling from the attack from the agents. We made camp and everyone broke off into groups with Pen, Lena, Alice and Max together, Jax and Eric still together and I alone. Not for long as I watched as River approached me, a curious expression on his face. "Hey, Klaus, can I ask you something?" River said, his voice low and serious.I nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it?" I asked River hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Did you know really give Max Shane's contact info or did she get it on her own?"My expression didn't change, but I could sense a flicker of surprise behind his eyes. "No, I didn't, She got it on her own" I saidRiver nodded, his eyes never leaving my face as I continued. "I just found out too, like Jax I was unaware of everything until I confronted her when we were alone." I said. His eyes narrowed as if searching for answers."But what I want to know is, why did you stand up for Max back there? I mea

MAXINE I walked over to Klaus, who was standing a little ways off from the others, his eyes fixed on the horizon taking in the scenery. I felt a sense of gratitude towards him, and I wanted to thank him for having my back the previous day, I hadn't had time to actually thank him for his help."Klaus," I said, my voice soft.He turned to me, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my expression. "What's up, Max?" he asked, his voice low and rough.I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of vulnerability wash over me. "I just wanted to thank you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "For having my back, for taking care of me. Despite everything, you're still here for me."Klaus's expression softened, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Of course I am, Max," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I'll always be here for you."His words were more than just an assurance."I know I'm reckless and selfish sometimes but I wanted you to know that,""Max, it's fine like I said, just don'

HENRY A few hours after Arlo's outburst he summoned me to his office. Juliet announced my presence to him and as usual I was granted access. I took a deep breath before walking into his office.I stood before Arlo, my eyes locked on his as his eyes met mine. "I believe it would be beneficial to add Shane to the project," he said, his voice confident. "He has skills and knowledge that would be invaluable to our mission. I looked into him." Despite his words Arlo's expression was unreadable, his eyes narrowing slightly as he earlier did not want to consider my request. I could sense his anger and reproach at the idea of getting Shane on board."I understand your concerns, Arlo," I said, my voice measured. "But I assure you, I will keep a close eye on Shane at all times. He will be under my supervision, and I will ensure that he does not compromise our mission and if anything goes out hand I would take care of him."Arlo's expression softened slightly, his eyes flicking to mine before n
