Hey guys!

Long time long update :/

School was the busiest that it's been for a while, so I had a ton of homework to do, and then my mom's condition took a nosedive, so I've been pretty worried about that.

Anyway, enough about me, I just hope that the rest of you are okay and not suffering through anything. If so, just drop me a PM and I'll try my best to help you out!

Alright Wings, stop stalling and just get on with it. (me 'talking' to myself ) Enjoy and see you at the bottom!

End of last chapter:

"I know you're awake Chase." A voice growled. "I'm not as stupid as you think."

Why in the world does that voice sound so familiar? Chase thought as he fought with his eyes one more time Why do I recognize this person? He thought one more time as his eyes slightly open and came into focus. "Oh that's why." He said aloud, the very angry face of Colin inches from his own.

This chapter:

"What do you want from me Colin?" Chase panted, trying to make himself look as menacing as he could. It was harder than it looked as he had his hands tied painfully tight above his head and his eyes squinting against a pounding headache.

"Oh, nothing physical." He replied walking a single around where Chase was stood weakley. "But there is definitely something inside of you that I want, something that will break you for the rest of your life after I take it."

"What makes you so sure that you're going to get this from me?" Chase gasped in reply, knowing that at this point, the only thing keeping him standing was his hands. "And how are you going to retrieve it if it's not physical?"

"Oh Chasey, I thought that you were smarter than that." Colin spat, glaring straight into his companion's eyes. "I mean come on, I've been slowly draining this away from you for a while, it just seems to me that you haven't taken the time to notice it."

"What in the world are you talking about Colin?"

"You know what, with this amount of cluelessness in you I'm actually surprised that you haven't fallen prey to me earlier." Colin muttered to himself before turning back to face his strung up prisoner. "Life force Chase, I'm talking about the very stuff that forces you through each and every day. The little whisper in your head that tells you to keep going, to never stop fighting. The force behind what makes you, you.

"Slowly but surely, Chase, I've been draining you of this. I've been making sure that wherever you turn all that you would see is betrayal and defeat. Who do you think turned Trent on you all those years ago? Or made sure that Bree found friends and that Adam had one reason or another to be mad at you. What about Macy? Hum? All I did was text you, and you lapped up the lie like a kitten with milk.

"You really made it way too easy Chase, all I had to do was eliminate all other options and then pose as your friend, your savior from all things bad in the world. Once I had done that, you were to blind to notice that it was I that was at the epicenter of your hurricane. Everything was crumbling to ash and dust around you, and all that you had left to do was turn to the eye of the storm. Me. It was like they say, any port in a storm? Eh Chase?"

"But why would you do this to me? What did I ever do to you?" He replied, trying his hardest to fight of the tears that were threatening to fall from his tired eyes. He lost the fight

"Oh, it was nothing you did. I just get these urges to find someone having a hard time and make it worse. This time, it was you that caught my eye.

"Why?" Chase asked, tears still racing down his cheeks

"It was just the way looked when you walked in. I could see it in your eyes. You looked so alone, so sad, that I just couldn't help it. It had been ages since I had ruined someone's life that, and I was craving pain. So later that day, I headed off to Trent and told him that you had a secrete hate for the football team. That's all it took for him to turn on you. I then went and found people that would at least consider befriending your sister, and told them hundreds of good things about her. Adam was the easiest, all I had to do was say that Chase thinks you're stupid and he was sold."

"But why wait in the shadows for so long before ramping it up? I've been at this school for three years and this is the first time that you've made it worse for me."

"I was scoping you out, finding weakness and discovering what made you tick. That's always the hardest part, as I have to stay in the shadows and not get myself noticed for at least two years before I am able to act upon my plans. If I don't wait for long enough, then it never turns out as affective as I had wanted it to. You've been an important part in my plans for a while now Chase. I gotta say though, I'm kind of disappointed that you didn't notice me lurking in the shadows." Colin said, reaching his hand out and starting to stroke the tears away that were still flying from Chase's eyes. "But it's okay Chase, you won't have to ever worry about me again. In fact, you won't have to worry about anything ever again." He muttered, leaning forward until he was inches away from Chase's ear. "Good bye Chase."

Suddenly there was a crash and light filled the room. Colin pulled away, the light glinting off a dagger that he had held in his hand, and growled. There, stood in the doorway stood Adam and Bree in their mission suits.

Chase was about to cry in relief when Colin swished around, dagger still in hand, and started to slash at Chase's chest. He managed to hit three times before Adam grabbed him for behind, successfully stopping him. Bree then super sped forward and untied her brother. Now free from his bonds, he collapsed to the floor and let a huge breath out.

"Come on Chasey, you can't die on me here." Adam muttered as he tied Colin up with the piece of rope that had just been holding his younger brother.

"N-no p-promises." Chase choked out. He was starting to shake violently as he was sure that if he fell asleep, he was never going to wake up again.

"We have to get him out of here right now." Bree said and without warning, took ahold of Chase's and Adam's arm, after making sure that Colin was tied up of course, and then sped off again. Somewhere along the way, Chase's eyes slipped shut and he drifted off into unconsciousness.

~Time Skip!~

Chase awoke to the blinding light of the lab shining through his closed eyelids. It took some time, but he eventually managed to fight his eyes open. He looked around the lab and took stock of his injuries. He ached all over, and when he looked down there was a big white bandage around his bare chest and bruises on his wrist.

He then looked up and noticed that he was in his capsule. Adam, Bree, and Leo sat in front of the thick glass that separated them. Each person had their eyes closed and there was a clear sign of their chests moving in and out evenly. So they really did care for him. Chase smiled lightly at the sight before closing his eyes and drifting back off to sleep. He was finally home.

I actually considered ending the story here for some time before actually deciding to end it, as I really didn't know the best way to write in the end. But I figured it out eventually, so here it is, the end of this wild journey :).

Don't worry though guys, I've already got another story lined up for next time! I've just started the planning period of it, but it should be up soon.

Now that this story is over, I would just like to say a big thanks to:
