Chapter 7. Frits, Death, and Love.

Echo nods. "Well let's find Frits then!"He replies "Yes. Okay I'll call Shawn see if he can help us find him."Echo says "Good idea. Meanwhile I'll get Lares."Ace nods, he picked up his phone and calls Shawn.On the phone Shawn says "Hello? Ace?"Ace replies "Ah, hey Shawn. Can I ask you a favor?"Candice bursts into Sonia's apartment.Sonia still asleep, Candice opens her bedroom door.Candice shakes Sonia and says "Molly! Up now!"Sonia wakes up and says "Candice? What's happening?"Candice replies "It's time. Get ready now."Sonia gets up and dressed real quick. Soni says "I'm ready!"Candice nods in understanding and continues to say "Good! We'll be doing a lot today."Time files by for the both of Candice and Sonia as they did their normal training, and jog. They were just doing their last few training exercises.Soni says "My ex is curious. He could interfere, he's nosy. I thought you should know in case something happens."Candice nods "If he does it's your job to handle it if you can't then you fail and I'll have to take care of it and I won't be merciful." She replies.Soni nods in understanding.They finish, and Candice leaves once again.Shawn says "Yeah sure! I'll be there in 10"Ace hangs up.Lares, Echo and Ace are dressed in their dark fighting clothes.Ace says "The one person other then Soni who will definitely know where Frits would be is Rane. Frits and Rane got along very well. We'll go there first. But beware he could be already dead or Frits could be there so perpare for anything, we're dealing with a maniac here."They both nod in understanding.Sonia looks at her phone seeing it's 10pm. She goes to her bedroom and puts her suit on.She puts on her mask and vanishes.Reappearing at the one place she knew Frits would be. Where he killed everyone of her friends, where he hide all these years, his favorite spot on Earth, the place he killed his brother, the old cabin by Lake practically in the middle of nowhere.Ace, Lares, and Echo find Rane with the help of Shawn. They teleport there, with their weapons in their hands.Sonia walks into the cabin where Frits is.Frits with a smrik on his face, sitting on his couch facing Soni, as if he was waiting for her, he says "Ah, took you long enough."Soni angry, replies "Why'd you do it!? Where's Rane, wheres my friends!?"Frits replies still smirking, "Not even a hello first, you guys have horrible manners. I think you know why."Soni replies "I don't have time for manners. You're insane! No I don't know! You killed your best friends! What sane person does that!?"Frits says "Haha, and you're one to talk. You truly haven't changed, you're still as naive as ever. I did this because it's your fault. This is all your fault Sonia don't your see? You caused this to happen, just like everything else. Just like Damian getting killed, Olympa blowing up, your best friends dead, this is all because of you."Soni gets angrier, and replies "How is this my fault? I tried to save you Frits."Frits becomes serious and stands, and says "You left me for dead! If it wasn't for my survival skills I would of actually been dead because of you! Don't you remember Soni? You made me fall."~Sonia flashes back remembering what happened.She sees Frits and his brother Kalon, at the edge of the cliff that night as it pours down rain and lightning."Stop this Kalon! Soni isn't going to be with you! You don't have to do this! Please!" Frits yells."No! This is how it has to be! If you won't let me! Then you have to go too! She'll understand and love me after this, she'll see I really am better then you!" Kalon yells as a reply"She won't! She'll try to stop you!" Frits yells"Then she'll die trying, just like everyone else who gets in my way!" Kalon yellsKalon punches Frits in the face, Soni tries to stop them from fighting and gets in between them, she yells "Stop!"Frits yells "No! You don't understand!"Kalon yells "Stay out of this! I don't want to hurt you too!"Sonia yells "You don't have to hurt anyone!"Kalon yells "Yes I do! This is for you!" He punches Frits again, and Frits is angry tries to tackle him, Sonia trys to pull them apart and accidentally trips Frits in the process making him fall barely catching the ledge.Sonia runs to save Frits, she grabs his hand almost slipping in the process.Frits yells "Please don't let me die!"She yells "I won't! I promise! Just don't let go!" He slips out of her hands and he falls landing on a further way down ledge passed out, thinking he's dead.She yells "No! Frits!"Kalon disappears.~She snaps out of it.Soni says "I-I didn't mean to, it was an accident. You were fighting, I was trying to save both of you, I tried to save you, isn't that enough?"Frits replies "No! You made a promise! Not only did you let me die, you didn't even kill Kalon, I had to do your job!"Sonia replies "F-Frits I'm-I'm sorry I-" sighs in regret and sadness, tears fall down her face.Frits says "Now I'm going to kill every last one of your friends, and then watch you die"Frits walks closer to her, grabs her.She yells "Let me go!" He knocks her out, puts her in a chair, ties her up, and covers her mouth.Suddenly Ace, Echo, and Lares brusts in Ace walks in first.Soni still knocked out in another room.Frits walks into the room "Ah look who decided to show up. How convenient. Two birds well four birds with one stone."Echo says "Four?"Ace replies "Soni is the fourth. Where is she! What did you do to her!" He becomes very angry, his eyes begin to flame black smoke as he begins to walk closer to him.Frits says with a smirk "Seems as if you're the only smart one here, not that it was that hard to figure out in the first place. Oh she'll be fine, don't fret kid."Ace gets in his face and says "In your hands no one is safe! Now tell me where she is! You don't want me to force it out of you trust me!"Frits laughs and replies "Haha, you can try."Echo says "Ace calm down. Don't do anything rash."Ace grabs Frits by the shirt.Frits says "I wouldn't do that if I were you."Ace replies "And what are you going to do about it!?"Frits smirks, Frits headbutts Ace in the mouth causing Ace to let go and grab his mouth.Frits says still with a smrik on his face "Try that again I dare you. Next time, I'll start with Echo first." Noding at Echo and Lares direction when he said those words.Ace sighs in rage, he wipes the blood off his lip and replies "Fine. What do I have to do."Echo gets in between Frits and Ace facing Frits "And here I thought you forgot about me."Frits says "It's hard to forget you the one disappointment in our whole family. Well besides your brother but haha he's dead anyways, isn't he?"Echo replies "Don't bring him into this! Give us who we want and we'll be merciful!"Frits laughs, he kicks the door to the next room that was behind him, Sonia tied up behind it, passed out and bloody.Ace yells "Soni! What'd you do to her!?" Ace tries to run to her but Frits pushes him back.Frits says with a smirk "Ah ah ah" whilst shaking his head in a no. He continues. "Not so fast." Ace replies "What do you want from us!! Why can't you just give her to us!?Frits replies "Hmm I could but that'd be too easy wouldn't it. No see here's what I want you three of to do. You know Ace how you killed Danas? Well it's like that only this time it's Rane. Shouldn't be too hard." As he smirks.Ace cliches his jaw and replies as he sighs and squinting "Fine! But I'll do it alone! There's no need for them to have to pay for this. If you don't keep your word, I'll could back for you."Ace begins to walk out.Echo slaps Frits in the face, he grabs her hand.She says "How could you?" She pulls her hand lose and walks after Ace saying "Ace, wait! You don't have to do this!"Ace replies "Yes I do! I shouldn't of involved you and Lares in this. You don't have to be apart of this. You don't need blood on your hands.""Ace! Wait! Just listen! We can save Sonia!" Echo replies.Ace stops and turns around to Echo "I'm listening."She continues "He wants her friends dead right? So that's his plan to tear her apart in every way possible and using her friends and loved ones in the process, it's all apart of his plan."Ace says "Then what do you suppose we do? If we try anything there's a risk of Sonia's safety. We have to be smart. Smarter then him."She nods and says "We have to be patient."Sonia wakes up, she struggles to get free. Frits says still with a smirk "Good morning Sunshine."Soni looks up and sees him leaning against the door, with his arms crossed.He walks over to her bending down to uncover her mouth.As soon as he uncovers her mouth she screams. Frits laughs and says "You know, no one can hear you."Soni says "Let me go!!"Frits crouches in front of her looking her in the eyes "Not until I am satisfied." He stands up and walks out of the room.She screams "Hey! Come back here! Don't leave-don't leave me- don't leave me in here!"He continues walking out.He walks into the kitchen, and grabs a glass from the cabinet and fills it up with cold water.Frits walks back into the room and says as he's about to give her a drink "Drink, you'll need it if you're going to see your friends one last time." He puts the glass up against her lips and she drinks.She coughs a bit. Frits puts the glass on the table.Frits walks back over to Soni, he looks at her, and gets closer to her.He touches her face gently and she bites his hand. And he immediately slaps her in the face, he walks out once again.She yells "Candice and Darren will worry and find me, then they're going to kill you!"He hears her but ignores her. He wraps his now bloody hand and picks up his phone."What's your status on Rane!?" He saysThe man in the phone replies "We're taking care of him as we speak, we'll finish the job, you won't be disappointed Sir.""You better pray so because if he's still alive I will find you, kill you, and finish the job!" Frits says.He hangs up.He texts a number "Bring him here. She's getting feisty. We have to hurry, and wrap this up. Cover anything that leads me to this!"The number replies with a picture of Rane tied up, badly beaten, almost dead."Yes Sir. He wasn't much of a fight. We're on our way." The number replies.Frits walks back into the room that Sonia's in. He grabs her face tightly where she couldn't bite him again.He shows her the photo of Rane.She cries and says "No! Please! Please....not...him..."He let's go of her face roughly.Frits says "It's only a matter of seconds until he's mere thought. And soon you will be"Soni says In tears and rage "I can't believe I ever loved you!.."He looks at her as if he could break into tears or range at any moment.Frits says "If you loved me you would of saved me!" He walks out of the room and this time shutting the door.As soon as he shuts it he sighs. He rubs his eye brows.Soni struggles to get free. She created a fire dagger.He brusts open the door.Seeing her try to get free he walks over to her quickly and grabs her hand. He holds her finger in a position as if he was about to break it.Frits says "You're never getting out of here. This will help you remember."He breaks her finger she screams in pain and brusts into tears.She says "..Why?....." In tears.Frits men brust inside with Rane, two men drag him into the room, 51 wearing a green jacket, black shirt, black jeans and green shoes, with light blue hair and white eyes, with a very intense look on his face. 52, with shoulder length light orange hair with a fade of red, he had black and light orange jacket, jeans and shoes, with really light orange almost white eyes, with a very serious expression.They throw him in front of Frits feet also in front of Soni.She screams "No!! Rane! Please..let him go.." she tears upShe sees him bloody, swollen eye, bloody face, wounds in his hands, as he holds his stomach practically in tears, he slowly looks up at Soni with a look that he knew he was about to die.Frits grabs him and punches him in the gut really hard.Soni screams "Stop! Frits! STOP!"Frits punches him over and over, Rane leaking blood from his mouth, hands, everywhere it seemed, he spat blood. Soni cries and says "Rane I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!...this.... this..it's all my fault... I.. I'm sorry!"Rane looks at her and says "It's... okay...it's not...your fault... don't" he coughs "forget.." tries to smile She cries.Frits picks him up and smirks, he stabs him in the stomach, he drops.Soni steams in tears "NO! RANE!... PLEASE!...Please...plea..please... Frits...FRITS!"Frits looks at her in the eyes. He walks to her.Rane coughs blood and slowly dies.Soni with her head hanging down in tears looking away.Frits grabs her head and turns her head to Rane and whispers in her ear "This is what happens when you break promises. This is your punishment. Everyone you love will die."Soni mumbling in a whisper almost "I'm..sorry..." still crying .Frits says "Hm now let's see, next on the list..iss....ah Kyan of course. Well boys get ready for your next job."Soni yells "No! Please have mercy on him! Please!"Frits side glances at her in the eyes "Mercy isn't on the list. It never will be. Not until you pay for what you did." He repliesFrits says "51 you'll stay here and make sure she doesn't go anywhere. And 52 you'll come with me, get 68 and 54 also."51 says "But Sir-" Frits says "Don't test me!" In a strong voice51 nods in submition.Frits walks over to Soni slowly, bends down, touches the side of her face, then puts a piece of fabric over her mouth again.Frits looks at 51, and says "Don't fail me!"And walks out with 52.Soni cries with her head hanging down.She struggles to get free, she gets angrier and sadder by the sight of Rane and that Kyan is next, she thinks more of the pain he's caused, she gets furious.51 says "You can't escape little girl. Even if you do get free I will stop you."She breaks free in an instant, she stands up breathing heavily very angry, she looks at 51 as if she was about to kill him.He gets a bit scared and says "Now I know you're mad-" She charges at him, and he perpares for her attack.She uppercuts him making him fly.He shakes it off and says "Alright little girl enough play time" he charges at her and punches her in the stomach.She coughs blood and holds her stomach for a moment.He grabs her quickly and holds her down on the ground, "Now, you see if I fail him I die and so do my loved ones and I don't want that to happen."She replies "He'll be dead soon. You won't have to worry about him. His Reign of Terror will end soon and all who have suffered because of him will be at peace."He says "I'm sorry I can't risk it." Her knocks her out and ties her back up.Frits brusts into Kyans house with 68 with purple and red hair that stuck up in the side quite far, purple and red jacket and jeans, with light purple eyes. 54 a woman, green eyes patch over her right eye, green jacket and yellow jeans, light yellow short hair with a bit of green. And 52.Kyan with light brown, wavy hair that hangs down over his right eye a little, decently fit, wearing a plain white shirt, black tie, and black jeans. Kyan stunned he says "Frits!?"Frits smirks "Let's make this quick and simple. You're the last on my list Kyan."Kyan replies "So you're the one killing our gang. It was you!? Of course it all makes sense. I don't suppose you'll stop so let's get this over with ay?"Frits still smirking "Who else would it be. No one else is smart enough, you all are cowards."Frits charges at him and Kyan doesn't hesitate to do the same.Kyan grabs a dagger out of his shoe and tries to stab him but he dodges and grabs his whrist making him drop it then knees him in the stomach, he drops and Frits kicks him over and over in the stomach he coughs up blood.Frits says "Oh you look pretty bad, here let me help you up." He grabs his hand and pulls him up enough and then punches him in the face making him fall back down like he was.He says "Oh looks like you fell again my bad." He grabs him and punches him in the face over and over, making his face swell on the right side and his lip bleed, Frits nods at his men a d they hold him back, he punches him over and over, until he's barely breathing.They carry him back to the cabin.Ace paces back and forth.Echo says "Would you stop pacing. We have to be patient there's nothing we can do."Ace says as hes still pacing "There has to be something! Anything!" He gets angry and punches the wall causing a hole "I can't sit here and do nothing while she's in there wtih him probably being beating to death as with speak!"Echo stands up and says "Being angry about it won't solve anything! We have to calm down and be smart, if we make the wrong decision there's a bigger risk of her dying! So let me do the thinking because you can't think clearly when Sonia is like this plus being kidnapped!"Ace calms down and says "You're right. I'm sorry. It's just, this should of never happened. She's so different." He sighs.She hugs him and says "I know it's alright."She let's go and continues to say "Frits will do what ever he can to provoke you in anyway possible, plus he knows you're at the verge of snapping so be careful."Soni slowly begins to open her eyes, she sees Frits and his men in front of her with Kyan severely beaten. She tears up again at the sight of this and says "Please! STOP THIS! PLEASE! I'll do anything!"Frits looks at her as if he contemplated it for a moment and says "It's too late, you had your chance!"Frits grabs him by the throat and cuts off his leg with blood going everywhere.She hangs her head down again and cries saying "I'm sorry! I'm-sorry!!!"Frits smirks and snaps his neck in a second killing him.Soni yells "NOOOO! YOU FREAKING PSYCHOPATH!-"He slaps her across the face. He looks at 68 and says "Cover her mouth I'm tried of hearing her voice."68 walks over towards Soni and covers her mouthFrits looks at his list and says "Next on the list is....Ace ah he's a strong one. 68, 52, and 51 stay here, make sure she doesn't go anywhere. I'm doing this one on my own." He smirksShe looks up, tears still rolling down her face she tries to scream when she hears those words.68 bends down in front of her, facing her and whisper to her "Shhhh little Princess. Your Prince will be here in no time only he'll be dying hahahaha"She struggles to get free, she bursts into red flames and levels up the mouth mask burns off, smoke fills the room.Her eyes glow red, they look at her in shock, she walks closer to them.She screams in rage as she charges at them saying "This! Is! For! My! friends!!!"She runs towards 68 and snaps his neck in a second, and then 52 she created a dagger with flames and stabs him, she walks towards 51 grabs him by the shirt.51 says "Please I have a family!"Frits bursts in once again with Ace knocked out, he walks towards her, picks her up and puts her back in the chair and ties her up.She yells "Please!!! No Ace! No please not him! Not him! PLEASE TAKE ME INSTEAD! PLEASE! JUST KILL ME! PLEASE!"Frits looks at her with a glare of irritation "No. Pick him up!"51 picks his bloody body up, he looks at her and smiles, he thinks "Just seeing her face is enough to keep me going." Frits says "And this one I've been looking forward to."Ace holds his wound  with a look of determination on his face as if he wasn't going to give up.Frits smirks and says "Is someone going to give me a hard time. I'll make sure to enjoy this."Ace elbowing 51 in the jaw knocking him down and freeing himself at the same time.Ace holds his wounds and says "She doesn't deserve this. Neither did any of the innocent people you've murdered. You will suffer for your actions."Frits laughs saying "Haha you're a determined one aren't you. No one wonder she cares for you so dearly."Ace limps closer and he slowly stops limping and ignores it, he looks Frits in the face.Frits still smirking and he thinks "He doesn't give up does he? He'll be a fun one to kill"Both of them tackle each other rolling around on the ground each trying to get the upper hand.Soni yells "No Ace be careful!"Ace gets the upper hand, holds him down and punches him in the face repeatedly causing him to pass out, Ace still going over board.Soni says "Ace stop! It's okay. Please! Neither of you have to die."Ace slowly stops, she can hear how fast he's breathing, he slowly looks up at her tear falling down the side of his cheek, he stands up, limps to her he then unties her and immediately pulls her close and embraces her in a hug.She smiles and starts to cry really hard "I-I-I miss-missed you." She whispers in tears.Surprised to hear those words he smiles, he picks her up and carries her out of the cabin. He whispers "I missed you too." With a smile on his face.She starts to pass out from the stress, pain and sadness.Walking outside, seeing Echo and Lares waiting for him, Echo runs to them.Echo says "Is she?"Ace keeps walking still with a limp, and flies off with her in his arms.Echo and Lares follows behind him.He puts her on the bed and goes into the bathroom, grabs the first aid kit, he walks back into the bedroom, putting the aid kit on the bed he grabs the alcohol, and cotton swabs.Dabbing it on her wounds she starts to wake up,  she puts her hand on his hand.Soni says "I'm-Im sorry. I-" she starts to cry again.He interrupts her by saying "Shhhh, it's alright, all that matters is you're safe now." He then goes on to say "Now, let me clean your wounds or they'll get infected."She let's go, and he dresses her wounds.Soni says as she sees his hurt leg and all the rest of his wounds "Ace you're wounded to."Ace replies "Don't worry about me. Now get some rest. I'll be back don't worry. I love you.",He limps out of the room shutting the door behind him.He sighs as soon as it's closed looking down with his eyes closed, he looks up and sees Echo and Lares standing there.Echo says "Is she alright?", She notices his wounds "You're hurt. Let me fix them up for you."Ace says "I don't have time for that. That psychopath has to die for his crimes. She's barely alive in there, I barely lived, he even killed the rest of them, he didn't even bother disposing their bodies."Echo replies "You're not going anywhere until you've recovered and had rest. Ace if you died it'll only hurt her more. I know you don't want that."He replies "I just lived didn't I? So how hard could it possibly be?"She says "You were lucky you survived. But we can't risk it again, if you're going back you at least need back up. Plus don't you want to stay by Soni's side? Ace you're needed here. We'll deal with him later."Ace says as he sighs "Fine! Hurry up."She pulls up his pants leg looking at the wound she sees a extremely bloody knife wound, putting alcohol on it and badging it up. She quickly finishes dressing his wounds.Hours went by.Slowly Soni starts to open her eyes, she squints in pain, she remembers what happened, a tear dizzels down her face, she looks over seeing Ace asleep holding her hand sitting in a chair beside her with his head on the bed.She smiles, he wakes up and sees her awake.He asks "How are you feeling?"She replies "I-I'm pretty sore, did-are they-are they really gone?"Sighs as if he hated to say it but says "Yes. I'm sorry, I couldn't save them. I barely saved you" he looks down in regret.Tears fall down her face and she replies "It-it wasn't your fault. This is all mine. He killed them because of me." She cries harder when she says those words.Ace hugs her gently and says "Frits did this, not you." He slowly let's go.She says with a sorrowful look "Can I be alone for a little while?"He nods and says "I'm outside if you need me", he stands up, walks out shutting the door behind him.Soni covers her face with her hands and cries, she holds back her tears, gets up grabbing her stomach.Ace sits outside the door worried about her, Echo sits beside him putting her hand on his shoulder.Soni still in pain muscles through the window. She looks at the starry night sky.Ace says to Echo "Is that enough time? What if somehow he get in there and-"Echo interrupts him by saying "She'll be okay. She's not in this alone. Just give her a few more minutes. Let her process what happened."He sighs and says "Alright. You're right but in half an hour I'm going back in there. I can't lose her again."She notices a star in the sky that looks off as if it shouldn't be there anymore but was there. She stares at it as if she knew what it was.Ace stands up and says "Alright it's been long enough." He opens the door saying "Son-" and stops seeing the bed empty and the window open. He runs in looking everywhere in the room to be sure while saying "Soni! Soni! Please don't leave me!" Then out the window "Son-" he sees her standing there not moving and inch he says "Soni?"She still stands there, a tear falls down her face."Soni are you okay? What is it? What's wrong? Come on let's get back inside." Ace continued.She slowly snaps out of it, she stops looking at the star and turns around looking Ace in the eyes he goes through the not so far down from the ground window and wraps her in his arms.Ace whispers "I won't leave you. I'll always be by your side."She closes her eyes as if she was soaking it in, she thinks "I missed this. A lot. It wouldn't hurt to enjoy it." She hugs him back.Ace a bit surprised at first, he smiles, he picks her up and brings her inside putting her back on the bed.He starts to walk out but she grabs her hand, he looks at her, and says "Wait, is-is Echo here? Is Bruce okay?"Ace looking at her smiles, and says "Yes, they're both in there, and Bruce is just fine. It's good to have you back. I'll be right back, I'll get Echo and Bruce too." She let's him go, he walks into the living room and says to Echo "She wants to see you. Bruce too."Echo walks in there with Bruce.Ace walks into the kitchen and gets a glass of water, and makes a ham sandwich.Soni and Echos hugs each other, and Bruce gets on the bed with them, and licks them making them laugh.Ace bringing it with him walks back into the bedroom the glass and plate beside Soni on the table saying "Here, you need to eat, and drink water."They stop, Soni grabs the water and sandwich saying "Thank you, Ace." With a smile.He smiles, she picks it up and eats it and drinks her water. She stands up and limps the bathroom, she locks the door behind her, Echo and Ace still in the other room, she leans against the wall and slides down to the ground and sits there crying for a while, covering her face with her hands.Ace after awhile of waiting he worries and listens in, hearing her crying intensely.He knocks saying "Soni are you alright? Can I come in?"She replies "Just go away!" In tears "I don't need your help! Please stop worrying about me!" She continued.He says "No. I'm coming in weather you like it or not." He unlocks the door and walks inside.Seeing her sitting there he picks her up and holds her as they sit against the wall.He says "I'll always be here for you. You'll have to try harder than that to push me away."She continues to cry non stop.After awhile of sitting there she asks "Why?.."He replies "Why? Why what?"She continues "Why do you care so much, why me? Why not Echo or Ama or anyone but me? What have I done to deserve your love?"He smiles and says "You've far than enough, you've always thought others barely thinking of yourself, you're funny, you're the kindest person I know, you would give your life for anyone. Soni j l love you because you're you, Ama couldn't care less about anyone but herself, Echo was Damian's and plus she's not my type,. You're perfect in every way. You're brave, strong and you have courage like no other. And to add to it you're stunningly beautiful. You truly are amazing."She becomes speechless. They sit they with Soni in Ace's arms for awhile now.As they sit there Ace thinks to himself "I can't ever lose you again. No. I won't let it happen."He holds her closer.Soni thinks to herself "What if I kill him too? What if he dies because of me."They close their eyes and try to enjoy the moment while it lasts.Firts yells "Where are they!? Find them now!"54 says "Yes Sir." As she nods.51 says "Sir, the girl, she killed 68 and 52 some of our best people and almost killed me, how do we stop some one like her?"Frits laughs "It's actually quite simple. Her weakness is Ace. Kill him, you kill her. Ace is human, he'll be a pain but not too hard. Don't worry your family will be just fine, question me once more and they won't be."Echo knocks on the bathroom door worried.Echo opens the door, seeing Soni asleep in Ace's arms. Ace asleep also.She gets Lares in and he picks Ace gently then puts him in the bed, Echo picks up Soni and puts her in the bed next to him, they cover them up, turn off the light and walk out shutting the door behind them.Echo hugs Lares and says "It makes me happy to see them like this."He holds her and replies "Yes, I'm glad they're okay."Surprised she looks up at him and asks "You are? But don't you hate Ace?"He smirks and says "Eh not as much as I used to. Who said I didn't like Soni anyways?"54 says "Sir, Sir I found them, I found them Sir. And reenforcements."Frits says "Good. Call them. Suit up, both of you."They both nod, 51 gets his gun and loads it, he puts his jacket back on and his dagger in his shoe, 54 calls them, gets her guns and knifes, puts on her black leather jacket and gloves.~Six years ago~"Omg Kalon stop, she's obviously not interested"She smiles and laughs "It's okay Frits." Frits gets a bit angry "But he's obviously annoying you. Why don't you tell him to leave you alone?"Soni still smiling "It'll be okay. You don't want me to break your brothers heart do you?"Frits replies "He isn't my brother. "She looks at him "Don't blame him for your Father's actions."He replies "If it wasn't for-" she interrupts him with a hug. He hugs back smiling, blushing a bit, he closes his eyes as if he were soaking it in."Ahem" they hear a voice beside them say and they stop hugging."Am I interrupting something?"Soni replies "Not at all. So um where's Danas?""He's still waiting for you. Unless you're too busy."She replies "No Rane it's fine I'll be right there."Rane nods and walks over to Danas.Soni turns around to Frits "Sorry. I'll be right back."She walks over to Danas and sits beside him "Is it your Father? Is he making you-"He interrupts "No. But he does miss you tho. Are you and Frits?"Soni replies "No, no, we're just friends. We're his family now after all."~Present time~ Ace rolls over seeing Soni asleep still beside him, he smiles.He gently brushes his hand against her face while smiling.He pulls her closer and holds her, still asleep she yells "No! Stop! Please!! KILL ME INSTEAD PLEASE! FRITS!"Ace says "Shh you're just dreaming you're alright. I'm here." She starts to cry in her sleep, she wakes up slowly."A-Ace?" She mumbles quietly.He replies "Good morning."She says "Was-did i-you shouldn't be here."He replies "Soni I'm not leaving you again. Especially not in your condition. You need special care."She hides her fear with rage, gets free, stands up, while yelling "I don't need it! You're only going to get hurt again! Or worse you'll die...and I won't be able to save you..just like everyone else..please it's better this way..." Ace grabs her hand while saying "And I'll die by your side. Don't blame yourself anymore if anything blame me, I was too selfish to actually save you. So if you're going to blame someone then blame me or Frits no one else is at blame."She pulls away and replies "No! This all my fault! Frits is the psychopath that he is today BECAUSE OF ME! Don't you understand!? I killed him...I...I killed them all... I can't..lose you too. Not again."Ace replies "Listen to me! Okay!? Frits was already a psychopath it wasn't your fault he fell and it wasn't your fault he killed them! Soni! This! Isn't! Your! Fault! I will keep telling you that until you start believing it!"She doesn't respond.He continues "Now would you let me hold you a little longer before I have to go in for work" he said with a smile.She replies "Fine, but only because I'm cold." She gets back in bed and Ace holds her again.Ace says as he's still holding her "When I leave Echo will take care of you. I would stay with you,  but I missed too many days of work as it is. He'll understand but if I miss anymore days he might stop believing my excuses."She slowly falls asleep in his arms.He gently lays her on her pillow, he slowly gets out of bed without waking her, he walks to the side she's asleep on, and kisses her forehead.He looks at her and walks out and whispers to Echo "Echo stay with her and tell me immediately if anything happens or goes wrong. I'll go straight home if something happens."Echo nods and whispers "I'll take good care of her. No need to worry." She smilesAce whispers "Thanks!" And gives her a small hug.He gets dressed and leaves.~Six Years ago~"No please! Danas! Please!""He wants me Soni, the rest of you go home. It's the only way."Soni replies "But Danas I-" Danas interrupts her by saying "Just go I'll be fine. Before its too late."A tear falls down her face and she says "I'm not leaving you."Danas hugs her and says "It's okay. I'll see you again. I'lll be back." He whispers in her ear "I love you"He let's go and leaves with his father.~Present time~A tear falls down her face. She thinks "I-idk I miss him, I miss them so much. Frits what happened to you. You used to love me."Echo walks in, she sits on bed beside her and says "Good morning. Are you ready for breakfast?"She wipes her tear, looks up at her and says "I-I'm not hungry." Looks away.Echo says "If you ever need to talk I'm right here. I know you've been through a lot."She nods and says "Just don't tell Ace. I just I need some space and he wants things to just go back to how they were. But even when we were in a relationship, I-I-I wasn't okay. He only made it harder."She replies "I'll make sure your the first to let him know. I understand. I'm sorry that he's done this to you, I'm sorry he used to be different."Soni says "Ace is right about this one it's only Frits fault. But I'm the one who made me this way so I deserve it. It was all my fault. Danas, Rane, and all the rest they all are gone because of me."She replies "Ace really cares and loves you, and so do I and I agree none of it is your fault. I know what happened but it was truly Kalons fault if anyone's. I know everything."Soni sighs and says "Kalon, was in love with me. And Frits was too, and very protective. Even tho at the time me and Danas were a thing they both still loved me and in return caused their deaths by fighting over me. I tried. I-I tried to stop them. But it was raining and dark, he slipped. And I guess he always blamed me..."Echo listens.Soni continues "Rane was my best friend, the rest were all my great friends. I-I-I love them so much, and I miss them more then I can bare....and...I feel even tho it may not be my fault as if it were...I want to take the blame....they...he doesn't deserve...the blame only me." She cries when she says those last words.Echo replies "It's okay. My brother died when I was younger he was my best friend I know it's not the same as many nor same situation but we've both felt lose in some capacity. But never forget you have us, you have Ace, You have me, Lares, Bruce, and everyone else we may not of been able to save them or get them back but we can treasure the ones we have left instead of pushing them away when they get too close."She replies "I'll keep it in mind. But it's going to take time. A lot of time."Echo says "You know, I know a therapist that could help."Ace splashes water on his face, looking himself in the mirror, he thinks "Am I pushing her too much? Does she need space? I know she's been through a lot, but it's just I e finally got her back and I just don't want to lose her again. What if now she still doesn't want to be with me." He runs his face. He continues to think "What if Frits finds her when no one's home or even hurt Echo. Frits can't go unpunished. Not anymore."Stan peeks his head through the bathroom door and says "Dude, what's taking so long? You okay?"Ace replies "Sorry Stan, just a lot on my mind lately. I'll be right out."Stan nods and shuts the door.Ace sighs and walks out after him."Thanks Echo, for everything." Soni says.Echo replies "Of course! I'll, we'll always be there for you."Soni asks "So, when will Ace get back?"She replies "He should get back in 30 mins or so he's already off."Ace says "Thanks Dan. So sorry, it's been a stressful week. I'll do my best not to miss days. Cya tomorrow." He gets in his car and drives off.He looks at the time and it says 5:00pm, he thinks "I should be there by 6:00pm then. Good thing I always bring my Samurais with me.""Why aren't we just going in we know where they are we might even get the upper hand." 78 saysFrits replies "Be patient. He's impulsive he'll come to us, right on plan."Soni asks "Is he always this late? You don't think he's going after him by himself do you?"Echo replies "He knows better then that"She says "Does he?" Ace burst into Frits Cabin saying "No longer will you go unpunished!"
