(Justins pov)
We got to my dads work and quickly found our way towards where we knew Tylers storage unit.
Carmen and Chuy stood behind me as I pulled it open. I groaned when I saw absolutely nothing inside. Which meant they had already moved. Max quickly ran inside and started sniffing everything.
"What's in there?" Chuy asked.
"I don't know" I said following Max inside. "Did you find something boy?"
"Hey found this on the floor" Chuy said showing it to me.
"What is that" Carmen asked still seated on her bike.
"Its my Dads holster" perfect, I looked towards Max. "Max...go search" he came towards it and sniffed it. "Go search" i said again and he sprinted off.
I threw the holster on the ground and ran to the bike. "Man that dog is fast, yo" Chuy said as we tried catching up to Max.
"Then peddle faster, third wheel" Carmen said. Gotta remind myself to make fun of him later.

We came up to the clearing and turned right. Max was scratching at my Dads work truck.
I put the bike down and walked towards it. "Hey, Dad, Jen?" I looked inside and neither of them were there. I turned away from it. "Hey, Dad" I shouted. "Jenna" Max walked over towards the grass. He barked before picking something up off the ground.
I grabbed the bike and towards him before taking it out of his mouth.
"Hey guys look" I held up the charm braclet Kyle gave Jenna for her birthday. "They were definitely here" I put it in my pocket for safe keeping.
Max looked at me as I climbed on the bike then took off. "Y'all having second thoughts" I asked them.
"My second thoughts are having second thoughts" Chuy said.
"So if we find Jenna and we told her you had second thoughts and left" Carmen said with a smirk.
"Shut up Carmen" Chuy said making me roll my eyes. Instead of responding I peddled after Max into the dark woods.

(Jennas pov)
It was pitch black outside. My Dads pocket knife was behind my back cutting threw this stupid stuff around my wrists. Cause a little girl couldnt be trusted with her hands tied infront of her.
The ride was extremely bumpy. Especially since there were no seat belt. Oh yeah about an hour ago he moved my Dad up front with the sheriff and shoved me in the back with Emilio and the dogs.
"Ya know sooner or later the kids gonna find out" the sheriff said. The dog was staring at Emilio and growling. "How far are we planing on taking this?" the Sheriff asked.
"When a marine hits the beach he never stops and he never looks back" I scoffed at Tyler.
"You're not a marine" I heard my Dad say from the front. I smirked and then my smirk grew bigger as the rope around my wrists snapped.
I know that had to hit Tyler hard. He always saw our Dad as his second Dad.
We turned a sharp corner making the dog slide right into Emilio. I laughed at his scared look making him glare at me. Ha serves you right.

It was finally morning after hours of following Max up and down hills and through the trees.
We had riden up to the water fall when Max stopped.
He barks wanting us to keep going but we were all tired.
"Oh man hes not gonna do what I think hes gonna do" Chuy said.
Max then walked straight into the water making Carmen and I glare over at Chuy.
"Why y'all looking at me? Im with the dog." He got off his bike first and headed towards the water. Carmen and I followed behind him.
"Whoa this waters cold b" Chuy complained getting into it.
Max was first to the other side of the water. "Hope you guys know how to swim if it gets deep" Carmen said lifting her bike up.

"I can swim" I said pulling my bike up following behind her.
"When'd you ever swim" Chuy asked me turning around.
"Its just something you know man" I said going infront of him.
"Careful yo its gettin deep" Chuy said. By now my hair was completely soaked along with my clothes.
"If Max can do it we can-" before I could finish the current pulled me under along with the weight of the bike.
Something grabbed me and pulled me out of the water and I gasped for air. "Your brothers bike" I said choking on the left over water.
"Dont worry about it i got it" I tried to go back under and get it but Chuy pulled me back up. "I got it" ge said again pushing me towards shore.
I made it towards the shore with Max as Chuy went back under. Max licked me as tried to catch my breath.
"Thank you" I said to Chuy.
"Just dont expect me to lick your face and we're good" he said making us laugh.
"Hey Chuy ya know you would be good for my sister" he looked at me shocked as we made it up the hill.
"Um thanks b but your sister wouldnt go for me" he said with a sad look on his face.
"Wouldnt be to sure about that" I said patting his back.
"This was a bad idea" I said as Carmen came up to us.
"You think?" They both said.
Max barked at the top of the hill. "Let go see whats at the top of that rise" I started my way up with them dragging the bikes behind me.
I got to the top and looked around a bit not seeing anything.
"NO STOP IT" I quickly looked down to see Emilio holding my sister back.
"HEY LET GO OF HER" my Dad yelled having to be held back by both the Sheriff and some other guys i didnt know.
Chuy and Carmen ran up beside me. Watching the scene with worried looks on our faces. Emilio chucked my sister over to the Sheriff making him let go of my Dad.
Tyler quickly shoved my Dad in the truck then turned to talk to Emilio.
My sister looked really mad. The dog next to her bit at her heel making her jump. Max growled trying to go over there but I held him back.
"We need to get to that highway" Carmen said as we walked away from the cliff. "Get someone to call the cops or something." She said pointing down the hill.
"How about a bunch of navy seals" Chuy suggested leaning over his bike.
"Im not gonna leave here without them" I said then pointed at Chuy. "I'm gonna stay here with Chuy. You go get help okay" she nodded and went back down the hill.
Carmen turned back walking towards me. She dropped her bike and put her lips against mine. I was shocked at first but melted into it.
"I am not seeing this" I heard Chuy whisper.
Carmen pulled away, picked up her bike and raced down the hill. I was still stuck in a daze from that.
"Yo we dont talk about this" Chuy said. "Never" I laughed as he waved his finger in my face.
"Same goes for you and my sister" he blushed and backed off. His cell phone rang and I heard shouts from down the cliff.
"HEY GRAB HER" Chuy and I ran over to the cliff.
Jenna had back handed the Sheriff than kneed him in the nuts before running as fast as she could. Max growled as she ran. Tyler was getting frustrated. Thats when the dog ran after her.
"Max go, go" he heard me and raced down the hill to help my sister.
Hopefully he gets there in time.

Having failed to manifest any attunements on the Testing day, Elias is disowned and cast out from his clan, the royal clan of the Holstein kingdom. Unwilling to stay down and to accept the clan's view of unattuned individuals having no power, Elias seeks to grasp onto and change his fate. If he can't move mountains with his fist, can't he at least move mountains of gold? Elias would show his clan and the world that even an unattuned individual is worthy of respect, even that given to the strongest. This is his journey. Darius proved his mettle and showed everyone his potential when he attuned to both the aspects of fire, the royal element, and blood. With a fast-track to general all but guaranteed, the only thing he could have hoped for was for his twin, his dearest brother, to join him by his side. Unfortunately, Elias tested as unattuned, the level that was reserved for weaklings that deserved to be cast out and trampled. Or at least, that's what the clan says. If his brother couldn't hit with the strength of a legend, didn't he just have to hit twice as hard to compensate? Darius would show the weaklings around him just what the apex of diligence and talent looked like. This is also his journey.
