Fragile Figures

Jax feels the heat radiating off of the crystal; it looks like a pencil. The crystal glows brightly in his hand, which confirms the idea that Jax is a demon; he can't help but think of what other powers that he could have. As he walks down the long hallway looking around and looking throw the small windows on the doors, spying into the labs. He comes to the end of the corridor; a large metal door stands before him.

He looks down at the crystal, it is glowing like Christmas, and it feels like it's on fire in his hand. He pushes the door open, and he is greeted with a dark and dank like the ventilation was turned off, and someone let an animal die and never cleaned it. Jax looks around but can't see anything; he feels the crystal start pulsing and get hotter. It gets hot that Jax drops it and pulls his hand to his chest and swears quietly. It rolls to the back of the room as it moves the light makes the details of the room visible.

Jax looks around again and sees a wall of frosted glass and sees an outline of a woman's frame. Although something seems broken about it. Jax basically runs over to the wall and calls out, "Hello." No response.

"Hello, mom is that you," Jax knocks on the glass, trying to get the attention of this person. Jax exhales and pulls his fist back and punches the glass shattering it; as the broken pieces of glass fall, the woman's face comes into the light… it wasn't he. It was someone that looked like her, but there were two differences this woman's hair was red and eyes blue. Jax holds back his feelings of frailer he kneels down and sees the fear in her eyes.

"Hey, everything is going to be okay," Jax raises his hands "I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Jax. What is yours?"

She looks at him, scared but intrigued. "My name…" she sits up.

"My name is Zedd."

Jax nods and takes his jacket off and hands it to her, "You're going to need this; it's going to be cold outside."

Zedd grabs it and thanks him with a timid voice. She slips it on, and Jax puts his hand out to help her up; she grabs it, and the two make their way back to Alex. Zedd is holding on to Jaxs hand, scared of what is around them, and Jax couldn't blame her for being afraid. She and Jax reach Alex and the other kids standing inside the ring, ready to transport without him.

"Jax took you long enough," she pauses, seeing Zedd holding Jaxs hand "who is this? Did you find your mother."

Jax shakes his head "No, I didn't, and this is Zedd I found her that the back of this hellscape."

Zedd and Jax step into the ring; Alex starts to say the spell to get them out of there. Jax gets pulled out of the ring right before they are transported; Jax lands on the floor with a loud thud. He looks around, trying to see what or who pulled him away from safety. Jax sees nothing.

"Why are you running away, Demon? We still have unfinished business," The maked man's voice echoes in the darkness.

"What the hell? You are dead I killed you," Jax feels a wave of fear wash over his body.

"BOY RUN," Aetius yells, flying into the darkness.

But Jax cannot move, his body feels like a stone, heavy and useless. He hears what sounds like fists zipping throw the air so fast; the wind can be heard coming off of them. J ax hears a loud crash and what sounds like a body hitting the floor, and then nothing just heavy breathing.

"Boy, didn't I tell you to run," Aetius emerges from the darkness covered in blood and what looks like vary deep cuts.

"Aetius, you're hurt," Jax stands up and runs over to him.

"I'm fine. I will heal. I've been fighting for most of my li…" Aetius eyes close, blood falling from his chest. His body falls to the floor; Jax looks down at him.

"I'll never go down without a fight," The Masked Man pulls out a handkerchief and wipes off his hand of Aetiuses blood.

"Aetius… Aetius get up. Aetius, you need to wake up. I need you. Aetius," hot tears fill Jaxs eyes. He feels his body heat up; Jax screams, and flames shot out of his body. He looks at the masked man in anger filling every ounce of his body; he stands with fire shooting out of his back like wings.

"I'm going to kill you. You son of a bitch," Jax steps forward with the ground catching fire with every step.

The masked man sees Jax's eyes change from there green color to white. He steps back, trying to get away from the heat of the flame, but it surrounds him and Jax. The weight of what he just unleash has hit him like a ton of bricks, and he is now in the thick of it.

Jax reaches out and grabs the masked man's neck. "There will be no blood, no bone, and no ash. It will be like you never existed." Jax crushes his throat and pushes so much fire out of his hand flame shoots out the man's neck. "An eye for an eye. Life for a life."

The church has been engulfed in flame, destroying all of the lads and the hell that is that place. Jax exists throw the large cherry wood doors carrying aetiuses body. Time slows for Jax and the sounds around him have gone silent; he steps on to the pavement Patty runs up to him she is trying to ask something, but Jax can't hear her. He lays Aetius down on the ground and sits next to him and lets his tears wash over his face.

Jax feels a hand on his shoulder he looks up and sees Patty the sound starts to return to Jax. "What happened, Son?" Patty sits next to him and waits.
