XXXX

It was cold.

It was cold and wet.

Vale, the city of prosperity.

Of hope.

Of fruition.

What a load of lies.

For young Cinder she has only known the cold and unforgiving side of the city of Vale.

She cannot remember a time when things were different.

When she didn't have to steal from others to feed herself.

When she had to kill street animals to find a somewhat decent meal.

When she had to always remain on her toes and pray no one would attack her in her sleep.

She cannot remember how many times she had prayed to whatever higher power that things would change.

For her own salvation.

She had often gone to abandoned churches in Vale to pray and learn about the Gods of her world.

The main reason she had not taken her life at that point was due to the fact that if she had, she would not be allowed into Oum's realm, and she wanted in desperately.

Every night she contemplated how she wanted to let it all go, and simply pass on.

How easy it would be.

Vale was crawling with people who would sooner put a bullet in her gut then question anything.

All she had to do was find the right person.

Yet, she could never follow through.

The fear of the deed.

The fear of not know what comes after.

The fear of the dark is what kept her down and out of the way of that fateful bullet.

However.

That all changed.

On one hopeful night for a now teenage Cinder.

"Get back here you little bitch!" a large older man yelled at the running form of Cinder as she ran with the contents of his grocery bags in her arms.

Cinder's heart was racing as she ran through the rainy alleyways of Vale. Rain pounding against her face and water slipping under her bare and bloody feet from her lack of shoes.

As Cinder realized her pursuer was gaining on her, she ran down an alley that leads to a suspicious bar, however, she had no time to worry about that as the large man was close to reclaiming his purchase and her head.

As Cinder ran down the alley, she quickly ran down the corner behind the bar and slid behind the dumpster. Unaware of there being shattered glass, she created a large cut in her leg that soon began to bleed. She held back a pained groan as she heard the man run past in the opposite direction.

"Bitch! Get back here with my food!" the man yelled from the further part of alley, his footsteps getting further and further away from her.

Cinder let out a deep relieved sigh as she realized she had finally evaded capture by the large man.

"That was way too close," Cinder said to herself under her breath.

"I agree," a deep voice said from Cinder's left. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw three men sitting there under a small shelter having a smoke. Cinder was shocked that she didn't notice them when she first got there.

"That was an awfully close call for you but you did steal those things from him, so, being the good people, we are, I think we should bring that man back here to get what's his," the tallest brown-haired man said as he got up and began to walk towards the direction in which the man had gone.

A face of shock was placed on the drenched face of Cinder.

"Hold up, boss, I mean, we don't have to get the old man. I think we can let this slide but instead…" the second tallest blond-haired man said as he stopped his brown-haired boss as he put a hand on his shoulder.

"We could have her pay us back for out kindness," the blond finished as she stared down at Cinder with a predatory gaze.

Cinder immediately knew what he meant.

"You may be on to something, I mean, she isn't that bad looking, even with all this rain she looks good," the blue-haired man in the back said as he walked towards Cinder and attempted to put a hand on her.

As the man reached down, Cinder used her sharp nails to cut into his hand, making the man yell in pain.

"Bitch!" the blue-haired man said as he fumbled back in the way of his two partners. Cinder used that opportunity to get up and try to run away. She limped as her leg continued to bleed out heavily, leaving a long trail of blood.

Cinder made it half way out of the alley until she felt two pairs of arms grab hers and they threw her back towards the front entrance of the bar.

"You know, I was originally going to be gentle but after that, you deserve the harsh treatment," the blue-haired man said as he drew a blade from his back and quickly ran over to Cinder.

Before Cinder could scream the blue-haired man was on top of her chest, knocking the wind from her lungs. Using that time, he quickly pressed the cold steel of his knife against her neck, pressing it harshly nearly drawing blood.

"Now, be quiet, otherwise things will get messy," the blue-haired man said as he looked back at his two partners and nodded, signaling for the two of them to begin.

"Alright, let's do this," the blond said as he reached down between her legs and grabbed Cinder's underwear before giving it a harsh tug, ripping the fabric clean off of her.

The brown-haired man also reached for her shirt and tore it off in one clean rip, leaving her completely exposed.

Cinder's eyes widened in horror as she began to thrash and kick her legs, nearly hitting the blond before he was able to hold her legs down and open, exposing her bare womanhood, leaving the brown-haired man to look down at her pussy with a wide smile.

"Even down there is flawless, are you a virgin?" the man laughed as he undid his pants and pulled them down. "Whatever, it won't be like that for long," the man said as he kneeled and prepared to plunge himself into Cinder.

The black-haired girl could only cry as she could do nothing but feel his filthy hands on her, his pathetic 6-inched member lining up with her pussy.

He prepared to thrust in.

There was a large crash.

She no longer felt the brown-haired man in her lower regions.

"Get away from her you filthy animals!" an enraged voice yelled as the two other men got off of her and attacked Cinder's savior.

Cinder simply laid on the cold concrete as she watched the fight through blurry eyes. She saw a blonde man thoroughly beating the other two men as she saw the bloody face of the brown-haired man down and unconscious.

It only took a moment for her blond rescuer to dispose of the other two rapists before he began to walk over to Cinder.

Seeing this, Cinder began to get up, she rolled onto her stomach and began to crawl away.

"No… No, please…" Cinder said as she continued to crawl away, pain rushing through her chest as the cold stones on the ground scratched her chest and stomach harshly.

The blond man kneeled down in front of Cinder and offered a hand to help her up, "It's alright, I won't hurt you," the blond man said with clear, honest, blue eyes. The man took off his coat and put it over Cinder's back, covering up her exposed body.

The man offered his hand to her once again, "Can you walk? That cut on your leg looks pretty nasty," the man said with a small smile.

Cinder stared up at him with a shocked expression.

No one had ever been even remotely kind to her.

Who was this man?

Why was he helping her?

What did he want?

Cinder had so many questions but at this point, she just wanted to get away from this horrid situation.

"I-I can walk b-but I need s-some help," Cinder said as she took his hand and began to limp slightly, showing her cut on her leg and scraped knees.

The blond nodded and pulled her up off of the ground and helped her button up his coat in order to cover herself. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital, it isn't too far from here," the man said as he put Cinder's arm over his shoulder and helped her walk out of the alley.

"T-Thank you…" Cinder said under her breath.

"No problem, Miss, just doing what's right," the man said as he walked down the walkway.

"What's your name?" Cinder asked as she turned and looked into his blue eyes.

A small smile came from the blond man, "Jaxon, what's yours?" Jaxon said, curious as to Cinder's name.

"Cinder…" Cinder said with a small smile, turning away from Jaxon so he couldn't see it.

"Cinder, huh, that's a nice name. It's nice to meet you, Cinder," Jaxon said.

After he spoke her name, his voice began to echo in her head. His voice repeatedly saying her name in his head. The voice became louder, and louder, and louder.

"Cinder! You alright?" Mercury said as he was trying to get her attention as she was currently zoned out.

"Hm? Oh, yes, of course, Mercury, I am fine," Cinder said as she regained herself and looked back at the mixed looks of confusion and concern from her subordinates.

"Alright then, like we were saying before, what do you want us to do about Jaune and his friends?" Emerald asked as she sat on the bed across from Cinder's.

"Acquiring Jaune is your top priority and when you do, you will take him to the designated safe house and await my arrival. I do not need to remind the both of you that failure in this endeavor is not an option," Cinder said crossing her legs and shooting her two underlings a harsh glare, sending shivers down the both of their spines.

"O-Of course, ma'am," Emerald said as she bowed quickly, making Cinder smirk slightly.

"But… If you don't mind my asking, what about our keeping a low profile?" Emerald asked, looking up slightly from her bowed position.

"As much as it pains me to say it, she's right. Won't this draw attention to us and shift our focus from you getting the Maiden's powers?" Mercury asked.

Cinder glared at the both of them intensely, she struggled to stop herself from killing Mercury for even mentioning turning any focus from her beloved.

"You leave the Maiden's powers to me, you two just focus on getting me my Jaune," Cinder said as she got up and began to walk out of the room.

"I expect you to have located him and secured his position by tonight… I would hurry if I were you, these recent events have left me rather… impatient," Cinder said as he eyes began to glow brightly, threatening to light the room ablaze.

With that she left Mercury and Emerald in the room, shaking due to their overwhelming fear of what their boss would do if they failed to bring Jaune to her.

XXXX

Currently in team JNPR's dorm, Jaune was laying down on his bed reading some comic books. Recent events left him unable to enjoy these simple pleasures, so despite it being lunch time, he was happy to spend the time simply relaxing.

The rest of his team and team RWBY were all in the cafeteria.

Oh man…

Team RWBY, what an emotional ride it was with that team.

Jaune had never expected it to be them under those masks.

However, he is glad that they had sorted it all out and things have gone back to normal.

Well… as normal as things can get around here.

He had to admit though, having a massive amount of women fighting over him was not something he had ever imagined happening in his time at Beacon.

It was an odd feeling to say the least.

At least he was able to get the girls under some level of control.

Now they weren't out for each other's throats, which put his mind at ease.

With the violence stopping, all that is left for him to do is have some peace and quiet.

Peace and quiet…

At that moment his door slammed open and revealed two forms at his door.

Jaune fell off his bed and hit the ground hard.

"Hey, Jaune!" the powerful voice of Coco yelled as she scanned the room and heard a small groan from the other side of his bed. "Uh oh," she said as she and her bunny faunus teammate hurried over to him.

"Ugh, hey, Coco, Velvet," Jaune said as he got up slowly, putting his hand on the back of his head.

"Are you okay, Jaune?" Velvet asked as she put a hand on his back to help him up, "Coco! I told you we should have knocked instead of breaking his door in," Velvet said with a harsh glare.

"Oh, come on, who wouldn't want two badass, beautiful brunettes knocking on their door. Us breaking it down only makes him look better," Coco said with a sly grin as she put her glasses down to look at Jaune, eying him with a smile on her face.

"If falling off my bed is what I get for being popular, I am perfectly alright with being a loner," Jaune said with a small grin as he made it to his feet.

"Maybe what you need in that bed is another person, holding you tight so you don't fall," Coco said with a lustful smirk as she poked Jaune's chest.

Jaune could only blush as Coco smiled even more at his reaction.

"Coco!" Velvet yelled, trying to pry her partner away from Jaune.

"What? I mean, we are going to fuck him later," Coco said with a huge smile as she pulled down her glasses to look at him with lust filled eyes.

"Wait… what?!" Jaune asked, looking between the two girls before him.

Coco eyed him slightly before grabbing his arm, "You remember, Jaune, you said that you would take us out once a week and we would have a night on the town once we got better," Coco said with a smile. Jaune looked to Velvet to see her blush, completely reminding him of his promise.

"You're right, and an Arc never breaks his- wait, wait a minute, you guys were in wheelchairs yesterday! Are you guys okay?! What are you doing up?!" Jaune yelled as he was looking frantically between the two of them.

"Oh, yeah, that, we had a bunch of aura transfusions overnight, they did the trick and healed us right up so we are ready for anything and everything," Coco said as she took Jaune's arm and pulled it into her bosom.

"Now, come on, Jaune! We're going to Vale!" Coco said as she began to pull Jaune towards the door.

"Wait, I still have class!" Jaune said, resisting slightly. He was shocked to feel a smaller frame pushing him from behind.

"You can catch up later, now it's our time to have fun," Velvet said with a blush on her face.

"Are you going to say no to that face, Jaune?" Coco asked with a grin, knowing his answer.

"Let me get my wallet," Jaune said as he began to move towards his desk, only for Coco to tighten her hold on his arm. "No time, hot stuff, we have to move now!" Coco shouted and with that, the two girls ran off with Jaune in tow.

It has been several months since Cinder was rescued by Jaxon from her attackers.

Since that day, the two have been living in shared residence, more specifically Jaxon's home.

Cinder was and still is extremely grateful to Jaxon for his help in her most desperate hour and thusly has promised him to help take care of him at home, and when he is not she takes care of the home in his absence.

In present time, however, Jaxon has just arrived home from his day job and was greeted to the smell of pasta.

"Cinder! I'm back! Where are you?" Jaxon shouted from the front door with a smile on his face. He quickly took off his shoes and walked into the home, turning a corner and walking into the kitchen.

When he turned the corner, he was greeted by the smiling face of Cinder as she was holding a large pot in her two gloved hands.

"Welcome back, Jax! How were things today?" Cinder asked as she put the pot down on the table which was currently set for two.

"Oh, same old, you know how it is with Hamza, he knows how to run a business but he is a real dick about it sometimes," Jaxon laughed as he sat down and waited for Cinder to join him as she removed her gloves and walked over.

"Well, he does what he has to in order to achieve his goals, a part of me respects that," Cinder said as she pulled up her chair and sat across from Jaxon.

Jaxon smirked slightly as he looked over at the stove and saw that one of the burners was still running, a bright blue flame at the center of it.

Seeing this, Jaxon quickly stood up.

"Ah, Cinder, you forgot to turn off the stove again," Jaxon said as he walked over to it and turned it off quickly, the heat subsiding.

"Sorry, you know I like watching it and by the time I remember to turn it off, you show up," Cinder said with a small smirk looking at Jaxon with slightly apologetic eyes.

Jaxon sighed as he walked back over to his seat and sat back down, "Maybe I should start coming home earlier to make sure you don't forget," Jaxon said with a teasing smirk, earning a similar smirk from Cinder.

"Oh, that would be great, you have no idea how boring it gets around here," the black-haired woman said as she slumped into her chair.

"It must be if your only friend is fire, why do you like it so much anyway?" Jaxon asked as he grabbed a fork and began placing food on both his and her plates.

Cinder turned and looked back at the stove, "I don't know, fire is something that I've always wanted to learn how to control, much less in a flamethrower kind of way, a more elegant way. Fire is so powerful, it burns with pride. A small part of me wants to be like it," Cinder said as she grabbed her fork and began to move her food around on the plate.

"Is that so, well then you may not like my idea for tomorrow," Jaxon said, earning a confused stare from Cinder.

"I was thinking since it's hot out these days and since it's the weekend you'd want to go to the pool, but since water is the opposite of fire, I guess you don-" Jaxon said before he was interrupted by the glistening eyes of Cinder from the other side of the table.

Cinder was on both of her feet with a face of pure excitement on and a sparkle in her eyes.

"We are going to the pool!" Cinder said as she grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes with an almost childlike intensity, making Jaxon smile.

"Oh, wait, I don't have a swimsuit," Cinder said as she lowered her hands, a slight pout appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, they have rentals at the pool, you can just borrow one of those for the time we are there, and if we want to go again, I can just buy you a new one," Jaxon said as he stood up and lead Cinder back to her seat.

"Now, with our plans organized for tomorrow, let's eat because Oum knows I'm starving," Jaxon said as he took his seat once again and dug into the food Cinder had made, almost crying due to how amazing it was.

Cinder smiled at this, blushing slightly and dug into her food as well, she was happy that he liked it, she had been practicing for months in order to learn how to cook properly. Going from the streets to an apartment is one hell of a change.

Back in Beacon, lunch time has commenced schoolwide as the students are all gathered in the cafeteria.

Mercury and Emerald are walking through the main isle of the cafeteria, focused on locating team RWBY and Pyrrha, or as they call them, Jaune's entourage.

It didn't take long for the two bandits to find the group as they were rather noisy, drawing attention to them.

"You ready to face your 'friends again, Emerald?" Mercury teased, nudging Emeralds shoulder, making her groan.

"Let's just get where that blond idiot's location and get the hell out of here," Emerald said as she rolled her eyes and walked towards the table, putting on her trademark fake smile.

It didn't take long for the group to notice the incoming duo as Yang looked up and saw Emerald and Mercury following closely behind.

"Hey guys," Emerald said while waving slightly, earning smiles from the inhabitants of the table.

"Hey, Em, what's up?" Yang said as she looked up at her with a smile.

"Oh, you know the usual, work, fighting, dealing with this idiot, what about you guys?" Emerald said as she slapped Mercury's arm, earning a slight wince from the grey-haired male.

"Just having some lunch but to be honest, the food here is about as appetizing as a foot. I swear these chefs are out to kill us," Yang said as she poked her food with a look of slight disgust.

"It isn't that bad, Yang, you just need to have a bit of tolerance for the less extravagant foods," Blake said as she took another bite from her food, making Yang give her a disgusted look.

"Yeah, no thanks," Yang said as she picked up her water bottle and had a drink.

"So, what can we help you two with?" Pyrrha asked as she looked between the two of them.

"We were actually looking for Jaune, we need to talk to him about something. Do you guys know where he is?" Emerald asked as she looked up and around the cafeteria, unaware of what awaited her for when she looked back down.

When her eyes met those of the girls before her, she saw that all life had vanished from them.

The air around them fell down to below 0.

The pressure surrounding the two bandits raised exponentially instantly.

"Why?" Pyrrha asked as she made a fist with her right hand, ready to throw a brutal right hook at a moments notice, awaiting Emerald's answer.

Emerald looked around to all the other girls, looking for someone to look upon without them returning a deadly glare.

Yang's eyes had turned blood red, and it appeared as though a blood vessel was prepared to burst, threatening to turn her whole eyeball red.

Emerald had to tread lightly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's with all this aggression, we just want to ask him a few things about his family's history for an extra assignment for Oobleck," Emerald said as she took a step back from the table.

That successfully relieved some of the pressure but not all of it, for Yang, Pyrrha and Weiss were still on high alert.

Ruby looked back at Emerald and stood up, "Sorry about that, Em, we're just a bit on edge, do you know why that is?" Ruby said as she walked towards Emerald, taking her scroll out and pulling up a video.

Emerald didn't answer her question, simply shrugging in response instead.

"I want you to watch this and tell me what you see," Ruby said as she handed Emerald her scroll, letting her hit play on the video, Mercury huddling up behind her to watch.

The video showed Cinder cornering Jaune in the cafeteria and getting extremely close to him as he only stood there with an extremely shocked look on his face. Unfortunately, the scroll that captured this did not catch the audio as they were too far away from the two. The scene between Cinder and Jaune progressed for about two minutes until Cinder took his arm once again and dragged him out of the cafeteria.

Emerald felt a small amount of jealousy grow in her chest but did her best to hide that feeling from the critically observing girls before her.

Mercury, however, was standing behind her with wide eyes and an open mouth, "Wow, Cinder doesn't beat around the bush with her men," Mercury said with a small laugh, only to be silenced as he felt the barrel of a weapon be pressed up against his forehead.

Blake stood right in front of him with Gambol Shroud in its gun mode, while Blake had a cold, dead look in her eyes.

"Say that he is hers once again and you won't have the brains to make fucking stupid jokes like that again," Blake said as she pressed the barrel into his skull, forcing his aura to fight against the cold metal.

A cold shiver ran down Mercury's back, feeling the strength of Blake's threat.

"Whoa, okay, I was joking, jeez," Mercury said holding his hands up defensively, hoping Blake would back down.

Blake's eyes never left his, hers holding a stare that could kill anyone it fell upon. After a few more moments she lowered her gun and backed away from Mercury, letting him take a deep breath.

"You said you wanted to ask Jaune about his family?" Blake said as she took her seat once again.

"Yes, after that we'll be gone like yesterday," Emerald said with an assuring tone.

The girls at the table looked amongst each other before simultaneously nodding, Pyrrha then looked up at the duo. "Jaune's out right now with Coco and Velvet, so you'll have to ask him later," Pyrrha said, quickly taking a sip of her water after.

"Do you know where they went or when they will be back?" Emerald asked, pressing slightly, earning a glare from Weiss, not enjoying her prying.

"We don't know when they will be back but they went to Vale for the day," Ruby said as she took a rather large bite into her breakfast cookie.

"Thanks guys, we'll see you around," Emerald said waving and walking away from the group.

Yang and Blake followed the two with their eyes as they left the cafeteria.

"It looks like we'll have to dispose of Cinder earlier than I thought we would have to," Ruby said with a dead look in her eyes, "We have to make our move before she can get her whore hands on Jaune," Ruby said as she finished her breakfast.

"What do you want to do?" Pyrrha asked as she leaned forward into the table, followed by the rest of the group doing the same.

"Oh, I have a few ideas on how to deal with her and her lackies," Ruby said with a slight glow to her eyes.

After a painful 24 hour wait, Cinder and Jaxon's day at the pool arrived, and Cinder was the most excited girl there, even in comparison with the multitude of children on site.

Cinder ran from the entry gate and gazed upon the wonder before her. To her left were some colourful but smaller water sliders, she made a quick twirl to her right and saw the much larger slides, making her look upwards to see the beginning of the monstrous ride.

Her eyes widened even more when her eyes made contact with the enormous wave pool at the center of the water park. The water shone in the summer sky and Cinder's excitement had just reached a new high.

"Like the view of the park?" Jaxon said as he walked up behind Cinder holding their stuff, a smile on his face.

Cinder simply turned back to Jaxon with a look of absolute amazement in her eyes, making him smile, "I'll take that as a yes," Jaxon said as he walked past Cinder, making his way towards a set of pool chairs.

"Come on, we'll drop our stuff here and then go have some fun," Jaxon said as he made his way towards the chairs.

Cinder finally shook out of her daze and hastily pursued Jaxon over to their recently claimed area.

Setting down their stuff, Jaxon took off his shirt and shoes and revealed his toned abs and muscular frame.

Cinder did the same, however, she revealed a red two-piece bikini, which showed off her well curved figure, making Jaxon blush slightly. She noticed this and looked back to Jaxon, noticing his blush and staring, making the woman smirk slightly.

"See something you like, Jaxon?" Cinder said with a teasing tone, making the man in question blush even more.

"N-No," Jaxon said defensively before walking past her towards the wave pool, "Come on, let's go," Jaxon said, making sure he kept his eyes off of Cinder, making her laugh a bit and soon follow him towards the pool.

Jaxon soon made it to the entry point of the pool. This pool was made for people to walk in, rather than having to jump in. Jaxon took advantage of this and ran straight into the pool and dove right in to a deeper part after he could no longer run.

Cinder saw this and her jaw dropped slightly, as she felt how cold the water was, showing how shocked she was about Jaxon being able to just run in.

Jaxon had made a few feet out before he turned around and saw that Cinder had not followed him into the pool, seeing this he made his way back immediately. "What's wrong, Cinder? Water too cold for you?" Jaxon teased slightly, earning a glare from Cinder, making Jaxon raise his hands defensively.

"I'm just not used to water this cold," Cinder said as she took a step further into the water, wincing slightly at how cold it was. Despite how hot the day was, it seemed to have no effect on the water whatsoever.

Jaxon stood there thinking for a second, until an idea flew into his head, "Here, I have an idea," Jaxon said as he walked up beside Cinder.

"Yeah? What is it?" Cinder asked, shocked and confused to feel Jaxon's arms around her back and under her legs, picking her up bridal style.

"What are you doing?!" Cinder yelled as she moved slightly in his arms as he began walking further into the water, "Do you trust me, Cinder?" Jaxon said, still walking further into the water.

Cinder looked away from his for a moment, "I mean, yes," Cinder said, still watching where he was going, watching the water grow closer and closer to him, "Then trust me when I do this," Jaxon said, holding back an evil smile.

"Do what?" Cinder asked, looking back at him, realizing now that they're not in the shallow end anymore.

It was at that moment Jaxon dropped Cinder into the water, making her yelp slightly on the way down, making a great splash upon hitting the water.

Jaxon broke into laughter as he looked at the look of betrayal on her face as she hit the water and began flailing due to how cold the water was, however, she quickly regained herself and rose up from the water, her feet now on the base of the pool floor.

Jaxon was too busy laughing like crazy to see the death glare he was getting from a justifiably agitated Cinder, and did not see her walk over to him, grabbing his leg from under the water and pulling it up, making him fall backwards into the water with a mighty splash.

Jaxon too flailed a bit, not expecting Cinder's retaliation, however, he quickly stood back up giving Cinder a smug look, "Okay, I guess I might have deserved that," Jaxon said with a smile, laughing slightly.

"In my book, you deserve way more than that," Cinder said, slapping his shoulder, "Whatever you say, my Queen," Jaxon said mockingly, quickly receiving a punch to his arm from Cinder, making him laugh even more.

"You want to go on some slides now that you're used to the water?" Jaxon asked, pointing towards the smaller, more colourful slides. "I'm up for that, come on, let's go!" Cinder said storming past Jaxon, leaving him in the dust.

While the two made their way over to the slides, Jaxon never noticed a certain black-haired woman watching the two of them from a distance under the protection of a pool umbrella.

Several hours pass as the day moves along, Cinder and Jaxon have a great time going on every single ride and participating in everything they have to offer at the park, this shocked a lot of the guests as not even they all could keep up with the two of them.

It was nearly time to head home for the day, so Cinder and Jaxon took this time to have some food and get ready to leave as they had quite a full day, this was especially the case for Cinder as she had been encountered by several men. Each of them thinking themselves worthy of going out with Cinder and tried to get her attention off of Jaxon, only for them to fail miserably, especially when Jaxon himself appeared and saw to their immediate departure.

Cinder would be lying if she said that she didn't find some of the ways he got rid of the men funny. One of the several times she was approached, Jaxon and her were waiting for in a waterslide line when someone approached her and before the man could even really begin, Jaxon picked him up and threw him right down the slide.

The man was so shocked by the sudden action that they could hear him yelling in shock as he went down the slide, making Cinder laugh lightly, however, Jaxon did receive a slight talking to from the lifeguards.

Back to Jaxon and Cinder eating, Jaxon has just finished his sandwich and is beginning to clean up, "Oh, man, today was awesome Cinder, what did you think of it?" Jaxon asked as he stood up, grabbing his assorted pieces of garbage.

"Yeah, today was amazing! This was a great idea, can we come again sometime?" Cinder asked, a hopeful tone in her voice.

"I don't see why not, but I am going to be busy with work over the next few weeks so it may be a while," Jaxon said as he took her plate and garbage, "Oh, don't worry about that, you should know I am quite patient," Cinder said with a proud tone making Jaxon laugh.

"Well then, could you be patient for a little while longer, I'm going to toss this garbage and go to the bathroom, after that we can get out of here," Jaxon said gesturing towards the men's room.

"Very well, I shall be continuing my patient behaviour, be quick peasant," Cinder said with a high-and-mighty tone, making Jaxon shake his head with an amused look, "Of course, your majesty," he said with a fake bow as he walked away, leaving Cinder to chuckle slightly and begin to get their stuff ready.

AS Jaxon made his way over to the bathroom after throwing away their garbage, he failed to notice two large men dressed as police officers nearby that same black-haired woman who was watching Cinder and him earlier.

"That's him, you know what you have to do," the woman said with a deep threatening tone. The two men swiftly followed the order and made their way towards the bathroom.

Before Jaxon could enter the bathroom, the two men intercepted Jaxon, "Excuse me, sir, we need to have a word with you, could you pull over here for a moment?" one of the men said with a threatening tone.

Jaxon shot the both of them a confused and nervous look, "Is there a problem, officers? Did I do something wrong?" Jaxon asked, "We are looking to sort that out, now, if you would just step over here, we can find that out," the second 'officer' said, gesturing towards the shady corner around the bathroom.

Jaxon nodded nervously and walked around the corner, the two officers following him around the corner, completely unaware that Cinder is watching the three of them from a distance, staring curiously at the two odd officers.

Jaxon finished his turn into the back of the bathroom, taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He turned around slowly, facing the two 'officers'. "Now, what can I h-" Jaxon was interrupted by the first 'officer' slamming his hand over his mouth, shoving him against the wall, holding him there.

"Answer me this, Jaxon, with you owing Ms. Brynn a rather hefty sum of money and you not paying her, how is it that you can afford to bring your girlfriend here?" The second 'officer' asked as he put his brass knuckles on both his hands.

"Do you not take Ms. Brynn seriously? Or are you just stupid?" the second 'officer' said, getting closer to Jaxon, his stare baring down on him.

The first 'officer took his hand off his mouth to allow a response, "I don't owe Brynn anything, we had a clean break and I gave her the money she wanted from the last job we did. I owe her nothing!" Jaxon said raising her voice, making the first officer slam his hand back over his mouth.

"You owe Ms. Brynn what she says you do. Now, let this be a reminder that you still owe her three thousand lien and she expects it by next week," the second 'officer said as he wound his fist back and threw a bone crushing punch to Jaxon's stomach, bruising one of his ribs, making him yell out in pain, only for him to be muffled by the first 'officer's' hand.

The second came in quick succession of the first, landing on the other side of the same area as the first, bruising another one of his ribs, making him yell out in pain again as tears began to flow down his face.

"Shut up," the second 'officer' said as the first took his hand off his mouth, allowing the second to punch him in the face, making Jaxon's head slam against the brick wall behind him, his nose beginning to bleed and a small crack appeared on the back of his head, blood began to slowly ooze out.

"Three thousand lien, next week, pay up or we come back and finish the job," the first 'officer' said as the second one put away his now bloodied brass knuckles and walked away with the first.

Jaxon stayed down until he was sure they were gone, their footsteps dissolving into the sounds of the waterpark. Jaxon groaned as he began to pick himself up, his head searing with pain and his stomach feeling as though it would break at any moment.

Slowly but surely Jaxon made it to his feet and began to limp towards the other side of the wall, to make his way back to Cinder.

Cinder was looking over at the bathroom, seeing the two police 'officers' walk away. She was relieved that Jaxon hadn't been arrested, even if he had, she wondered what it would have been for, Jaxon hadn't done anything wrong.

As Cinder stared on at where Jaxon was supposed to be, his continued absence made her worry, so she stood up and began to slowly walk over to where he was last. She then saw a hand on the wall, she felt a wave of relief wash over for her.

But only for a moment.

When she took a closer look, there was blood on his hand and as she looked into the area, she saw that his face was bleeding.

"Jaxon?" Cinder asked, Jaxon hearing her and looking towards her.

Jaxon took another step, making Cinder run towards him full speed, "Jaxon!" she yelled as she saw him begin to mouth something but before he could, he fell unconscious.

"Jaxon? Jaxon?! Wake up! Wake up!" Cinder said as she shook him slightly, trying to wake him up, to no avail.

As Cinder shouted out for help, the black-haired woman before walked out of the waterpark with a smug smirk on her face, her work there was done.

XXXX

Several hours later, Jaxon finally regains consciousness inside a hospital room, Cinder sat down beside him in a chair next to his bed.

As Jaxon stirred, his hand rose to meet his forehead, but stopped as he winced in pain from the beating he withstood.

"So, you're in trouble with the police?" Cinder said from beside him with a cold tone. Jaxon sighed as he turned his head to look at her, "Cinder, I-" Jaxon said before interrupted.

"No! Don't 'Cinder' me! I want to know why you were taken and beaten so badly by the cops! What did you do to piss them off so much? I thought you had an honest job!" Cinder yelled as she stood up from her chair, her fists clenched, nearly drawing blood.

"Those weren't cops," Jaxon said as he laid his head back.

"What?" Cinder asked with a shocked expression.

"The guys who attacked me, they weren't cops, they were thugs dressed up as cops," Jaxon said, still refusing to make eye contact with her.

"Why would thugs be after you?" Cinder asked, kneeling beside his bed.

Jaxon sighed heavily before turning his head to meet Cinder's, "Because I used to have a relationship with their boss, and I cut it off a few years ago," Jaxon said, with a serious look in his eyes, making Cinder's eyes grow wide.

"Who is she?" Cinder asked, suppressing her desire to react to this news.

"Her name is Brynn, she and I started going out about 5 years ago, I'll be honest, those were some of the best years of my life, however, things went downhill about 2 years into our relationship," Jaxon said, staring up to the ceiling.

"Brynn was the daughter of the local mafia leader and he had passed away after a shootout went south, with that Brynn was promoted to leader. I didn't think she was ready but she was all for it, so I let her do it. It was then I lost her," Jaxon said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"As time went on, she began to become more and more stressed by work and that made her volatile back at home. She would often take her anger out on me through either beatings, or violent sex. To make things worse, she had guards on me 24/7 so that I couldn't leave the house, she kept on treating me like I was her damn property," Jaxon said, looking at the horrified look on Cinder's face.

"So, one night after she had finally gone to sleep after having some more violent sex, I was able to slip away past the guards. On that day, I took whatever money I could find in the house and used it to make it to Vale, I thought I had finally become free of her, but as luck would have it, I was wrong," Jaxon said putting a hand to his forehead.

"She found you. When?" Cinder asked, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"About a month later when I had just landed a job at a local construction company, she appeared out of nowhere at work one day, turns out she bought the company and was my boss. That day she called me to her 'office' and told me that apparently, she had expected me to leave that night and let me. She said that 'even if I left, I would crawl back to her, because I couldn't live without her', I'm glad to say she was wrong because through those two years the only times I ever saw her was at work when she came down to see me, which was about once a month," Jaxon said.

"What changed? Why would she get so violent now?" Cinder asked with a confused face.

"My best guess would be, you. You changed things. If I were to guess, she feels threatened by you and attacked me to make you leave," Jaxon said, as Cinder stared at him with disbelief.

"That's crazy, I had never even heard of her until today, what threat am I to her?" Cinder asked with a terrified expression on her face, her blood running cold.

"She thinks that you are the barricade between her and myself, so she wants to get rid of you… maybe she's right," Jaxon thought as he laid back down into his bed.

"What?" Cinder said with a shocked tone.

"Maybe she's right, Cinder, you're not safe around me, you need to leave, start a life somewhere else," Jaxon said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"No! I won't leave you here to deal with that psychopath on your own, we can deal with her, together!" Cinder said, taking his hand in hers.

"No… we can't… I'm sorry, Cinder… it's over, you need to leave," Jaxon said, removing his hand from hers, looking away from her, letting the tears in his eyes fall.

"But, Jax-" Cinder started.

"Just… leave," Jaxon said in as firm a tone as he could handle.

With that, Cinder picked up her belongings and walked out of the hospital room, tears falling from her eyes like a waterfall.

As Cinder left the hospital, a fire lit inside of her, she knew what she had to do to make things right between her and Jaxon, how to get what she had just lost back.

She had to find this 'Brynn' bitch.

And end her.

XXXX

That evening, Cinder went back to Jaxon's house. She made her way back to his room and began to search it.

She figured if he had to deal with someone like Brynn, he would have a weapon of some sort for his own defense.

"Come on, Jaxon, where did you hide it?" She said to herself as she opened a drawer on his nightstand, kneeling to get close enough to it.

Slamming the drawer shut after finding nothing in it, she spun to get back up before her foot slipped under the bed and kicked something which made a metallic clashing sound.

Cinder stopped, looking down at the bottom of the bed.

Laying on her chest she pulled the thing she kicked out from underneath, finding that it is a small metal suitcase.

"There you are," Cinder said as she pulled the briefcase out, unhooked it and opened it, revealing a pistol with 2 magazines loaded beside it.

As Cinder grabbed the weaponry, she saw that something shifted along the side of the briefcase.

Curious by this, Cinder reached to the side of the briefcase, tracing it until her fingers met a solid object. Pulling it out, Cinder found it was a silver scroll, it's screen was blinking, it said it had 99+ messages on the screen.

Cinder opened the scroll and began to read the messages.

They were all from Brynn.

The messages ranged from death threats to nude images with seductive subtitles.

Cinder may not like Brynn, but she would admit, she was attractive. Her jet-black was flawlessly straight and her complexion was without a single blemish.

Cinder almost felt bad that she had to put a bullet in her head.

Now that Cinder had everything she needed, she put the briefcase back, pocketing the gun, magazines and the scroll. Cinder figured that she could track Brynn with that scroll, or the other way around, so she could draw Brynn in.

"Don't worry, Jaxon, this'll all be over soon," Cinder said as she walked to the front door, closing it gently before locking it.

XXXX

Jaxon was just waking up from a sleep he had fallen into after Cinder had left. To say he was feeling better would be an overstatement, but they had him on enough pain medication that he could finally move uninhibited, which he was thankful for.

Jaxon groaned as he sat up, looking down at his bruised chest, feeling down from what happened with Cinder.

"Ugh, why can't she just let this go," Jaxon said as he put his hands to his face.

It was then he heard a knocking on his room's door. It opened to reveal an attendant.

"Yes?" Jaxon asked, looking up at her with a curious look.

"You have someone calling for you, could you come with me please?" the attendant said, pointing to the desk outside his room.

"Yeah, sure, who is it?" Jaxon asked as he stood up and began walking towards her.

"I don't know, they said they would only speak with you," the attendant said as she handed the phone to Jaxon.

"Hello?" Jaxon said with a curious and unsettled tone, wondering who was calling him because at this point no one would call him.

"Hello, darling, how are your injuries doing? I do hope those ruffians that attacked you weren't too hard on you," a mocking tone asked him through the other end of the call, Jaxon realizing exactly who he was speaking to immediately.

Jaxon grit his teeth trying not to roar into the phone from the sheer arrogance in Brynn's tone.

Instead, Jaxon took several deep breaths, leaving Brynn in the silence.

"Hello, Brynn, why are you calling?" Jaxon asked bluntly, but trying to be somewhat pleasant to the woman.

"Ah, ever the gentleman, aren't you, Jaxon, not one to react so harshly, oh, you're simply no fun at all," Brynn said, a small giggle escaping her, Jaxon closing his eyes and breathing deeply again, his chest hurting slightly from his deep breaths, but he ignored the pain.

"What do you want, Brynn? I know you have bigger fish to fry than me," Jaxon said, trying to get the conversation over with.

"And right down to business, oh, that's what I love about you Jaxon, such a hard worker, especially in the sheets~. Well, I just wanted to call and see if after that little run in with those two big, bad men, you remembered our little agreement, because you taking that girl out makes it look like you don't take me all that seriously, baby," Brynn said in a flirtatious tone, but still talking business, her harmless wording holding nothing but pure malice towards Jaxon.

"What I remember, Brynn, is calling off our marriage after you were trying to control me, and that we agreed to steer clear from one another, so I don't know what other agreement you're referring to," Jaxon said, hearing Brynn's teeth click from the other side of the line, knowing he aggravated her with that last line.

"Aw, it seems that you're still far too bold, unfortunate, I guess now that you owe me even more lien for that comment," Brynn said with a small giggle.

"I never owed you anything Brynn, as I'm not the one who did something wrong, you-," Jaxon started.

"I DID NOTHING WRONG!" Brynn shouted, Jaxon basically feeling her seething with rage.

A brief silence fell over them.

"As I was trying to say, you tried to kill my best friend, simply because she was over at our house when you were gone on a 'business trip'. So, I don't owe you a thing, Brynn, when are you going to let this, me, go and move on?" Jaxon asked, the man sick and tired of having this conversation.

"The minute you come back to me and apologize for what you did, and promise me you'll never leave me again," Brynn said bluntly, making a small shiver run down Jaxon's spine.

Jaxon sighed as he held the device in his hands, looking at it with a saddened stare, not sure what to even say at this point.

"Brynn… Please… Get help, you need to learn how to move on…" Jaxon said before he hung up, leaving Brynn speechless.

Jaxon soon placed the device down on his nightstand, laying back down onto his back and placing both hands onto his face and letting out a deep sigh, not even sure what to do anymore, especially with Brynn on his tail.

He knew he needed to find a way to get rid of her for good, and make sure that Cinder was safe… but he just didn't know how.

So, all he could do for now…

Was go back to sleep and get his strength back.

XXXX

Brynn grit her teeth as she threw her scroll to the ground, shattering the device as she roared, the sound reverberating throughout her office, and the two guards she had there flinched slightly from their boss' sudden outburst.

"You two! Take me to the hospital where he is! It seems he needs another reminder of who he belongs to!" Brynn roared as she grabbed her purse and threw it to one of her guards, the man quickly catching it and opening the door for her.

Brynn quickly stormed ahead of the two of them through the warehouse complex she was in, her heels clicking against the ground, walking past several large crates and pieces of machinery.

Unbeknownst to Brynn, Cinder was hiding behind a crate that she was just about to pass, gun in hand, ready to pounce.

She was finally going to get what she deserved for hurting her boyfriend, and with her dead, she would leave them alone.

"I swear! When I get my hands on him!" Brynn started before she felt something cold against the back of her head and heard a small click.

"You won't, because you're going to die he-GAH!" Cinder screamed, taking Brynn by surprise, but in her anger completely forgot about her guards, one of which kicked her from behind sending her away from Brynn while the other secured her gun and trained it on her.

"Ohoho! You're a sneaky bitch, aren't you?" Brynn laughed as the guard that kicked Cinder quickly grabbed her and placed her in an arm lock and pressed his knee into her spine, pinning her down onto the ground.

Cinder shouted in pain as she felt a foot pick up her head from the chin, making her look up and see Brynn's gaze staring down at her.

"Well, well, well~, I know you~, you're Jaxon's new glorified fleshlight! This is such a pleasant surprise, I was actually thinking of tracking you down myself, but with you here, you've saved me so much time. A part of me wants to thank you," Brynn said in a cocky tone, Cinder gritting her teeth in rage.

"Fuck! You!" Cinder shouted out as she felt Brynn's foot drop her head, making her head fall slightly, her neck muscles catching her thankfully.

"Hm, it seems you need a bit of an attitude adjustment for when you're speaking to those above you," Brynn said, looking at Cinder with a disgusted look, which the woman currently pinned to the ground responded with in kind with a fiery glare of her own.

"And what better way to teach a lesson, than to use one's own words against them," Brynn said with a wicked smile.

"You there, patch into the intercom and give me your scroll!" Brynn ordered, the guard near the entrance quickly grabbed his scroll and handed it to Brynn.

"Attention all men within this our little home! I know that I've been working you all ragged as of late, with many long nights and back-breaking labour, but today, I give you a gift that I know that all of you lonely, horny men will love," Brynn said with a smile as she saw the light leave Cinder's eyes, and begin to struggle, trying desperately to get out from underneath the man pinning her down, not caring if he did dislocate her arm at this point.

"If you all will kindly come to the main entrance and come and see your gift, do come quickly because this bitch is going fast and has one hell of a rape fetish, so if she says no, she means yes!" Brynn said as she stopped the announcement and gave the scroll back to her subordinate who simply put it into his back pocket before beginning to strip.

Before long, Cinder could feel the ground begin to shake with the footsteps of all the men within the warehouse, and from what she was feeling, there was a great many of them.

"This should be the perfect attitude adjustment therapy for a slut like you! And, I think I now have exactly what I need to bring Jaxon back to me! This is going to be so much fun!" Brynn said as Cinder was hauled up and off of the ground by the guard, forcing Cinder onto her knees.

"NO! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU! ANYTHING BUT THIS! ANYTHING!" Cinder begged as she thrashed within the hold of the guard behind her.

"Oh, please," Brynn said as she rolled her eyes, the woman grabbing a knife from her back pocket and placing against the neck of Cinder's dress.

"Stop being so selfish and help Jaxon out for once in your life," Brynn said in a remorseless tone as she used the knife to quickly cut off Cinder's shirt, revealing her bare chest.

Cinder could do nothing but scream as she saw this wave of men rush past Brynn and overtake her, and the man behind her let her go only for her head to be stomped on as the men began to forcefully have their way with her.

XXXX

As Jaxon rested on the bed in the hospital room, he could hear the scroll the doctor left behind begin to buzz again, curious as to why it was going off again, Jaxon picked it up.

"H-Hello?" Jaxon asked in a tired tone.

"Hello, baby! How was your nap?" Brynn asked in a cheery tone, making Jaxon want to hurl.

"Brynn… What can I do for you?" Jaxon asked in a disheartened tone, wanting to get this conversation over with.

"Oh, silly, it's not what you can do for me, but it's what you can do for your little girlfriend. What was her name again… Charlie… Cindy… Cinder? Was it?" Brynn asked in a maliciously happy tone, making Jaxon's blood run cold.

"Brynn… What have you done?!" Jaxon asked, raising his voice for the first time.

"Who? Little, harmless me? Nothing at all! But, the 90-110 men within my complex… not so much," Brynn said as she turned the phone towards where Cinder and her workers were, the men having their way with Cinder as she could do nothing but cry and remain limp as she had gained several injuries for trying to resist, a busted lip, a broken arm, and several large bruises all over her body, her body stained with their collective seed.

"You should see her, Jaxon, she's being quite responsive to my boys," Brynn said with a slight chuckle, making Jaxon nearly crush the scroll he held.

"WHEN I GET THERE, I AM GOING TO-!" Jaxon began.

"You are going to give me my money in person and when you do that, I will stop the pain being inflicted on your little toy. I would say you have about an hour, maybe an hour and half before my boys each have their turn and/or get tired of her. I don't even want to imagine what they'll do to her when they get bored of fucking her. I'll see you soon, sweetie," Brynn said as she cut off the call, making Jaxon yell and throw the scroll, shattering it against the wall of the hospital room.

His body roared with pain from the swift wave of pain that rushed over him, but he ignored it as he got up, put on his clothes as fast as he could and ran/limped out of the hospital, taking a subtler exit through the back exit.

He soon made his way to the parking garage, busted into a car and stole it and took off towards Brynn's base.

XXXX

The trip was not easy for Jaxon physically, every time he made a turn, he had to hold back the need to vomit, and getting all of that cash out of a bank while injured was no easy task, but he still did it and was now directly outside Brynn's complex.

The man walked up to the door, holding himself up with all of his strength, trying to show that he wasn't in any pain, although his body roared with pain.

He rammed his fists against the door, trying to bust it open, but before he could knock again, Brynn opened the door, and she wore possibly the largest shit-eating grin he had ever seen.

"Jaxon, welcome~, I take it you have something for me," Brynn said before Jaxon dropped the bag of money at her feet, making Brynn smile as she watched Jaxon brush past her.

"CINDER! CINDER, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Jaxon yelled out in pure panic, his eyes rapidly searching the complex, before he heard a soft, pained groan.

"Cinder!" Jaxon yelled as he looked to his right and saw Cinder laying on the ground, her left arm twisted painfully backward, she sported a new black eye, her chest, stomach and back all bore fresh bruises and her head was bleeding slightly, and the cum all over her body only made things worse for her.

Jaxon quickly ran over to Cinder, the man sliding down beside her, placing her head on his thighs, attempting to comfort her as tears ran down his face.

"Cinder… I'm so sorry… This is all my fault…" Jaxon said as he cried, Cinder slowly raised her hand to touch his face, but he took it and held it in his own.

"i-It's n-not your f-f-fault… I-I should-dn't have t-taken your g-g-gun, J-Jaxon, I'm s-sorry," Cinder said weakly as she slowly sat up, her left arm screaming in pain as she moved, but she did her best to ignore it, only slightly wincing.

"You don't need to apologize," Jaxon said as he watched Cinder fall to her knees and look at Jaxon in the eyes, watching his eyes slowly drip out tears.

"I think she does, the entire reason that all of this is happening, well, was happening," Brynn said as she and two of her guards walked up behind Jaune.

"Brynn, you have your money… Now let us go," Jaxon said as he stood up again, walking up to Brynn, looking at her dead in the eyes as she did nothing but smirk.

"You're right, I do have my money, and I did promise that I would let you go, didn't I?" Brynn said placing a teasing finger on her chin, making Jaxon grit his teeth, but before he could say anything, he heard a scream behind him and saw that Cinder had been grabbed by another bodyguard, and the man now held a gun up to Cinder's temple.

"No! Let her go!" Jaxon said but before he could run up to her, Brynn kicked Jaxon down to the ground, making his yell out in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I can't do that, Jaxon, I mean, I can't just let the two of you go after all you've done to defy me, I do have a reputation to uphold. With your deaths, I do thing that my reputation will be restored quite nicely," Brynn said with a smirk.

"But, since I'm so merciful, if you two have anything you wish to say to one another, I would suggest you say it quickly, as you will both die in two minutes," Brynn said as she pulled out a knife and both of her guards pulled out their guns and trained them on Jaxon, who said nothing, but slowly got up.

"I'm sorry, Cinder… I wish we had more time," Jaxon said as he got up, looking at Cinder's fear-struck eyes, tears still rolling down them.

"Since we're about to die, I want you to know Cinder… I've been meaning to tell you since about a month before we went to the park… I love you, Cinder… And if we had more time… I wanted to ask you if you would have married me," Jaxon said, making tears fall down Cinder's face.

"I would have said yes! A thousand times yes!" Cinder shouted out before Jaxon walked up to her and kissed her gently and lovingly, Cinder leaning into the kiss to the best of her ability.

And at that moment, Cinder, for the first time in a long time, felt at peace, closing her eyes and falling into the kiss.

The kiss was so warm.

So loving.

She never wanted it to end.

Until…

Jaxon suddenly tasted off.

His head shook violently for a second.

And then…

Cinder tasted blood.

She immediately opened her eyes and what she saw made her scream.

From directly behind Jaxon, she saw Brynn holding a bloodied knife, and when she looked down, she saw that the psycho had cut out Jaxon's throat leaving a gaping horizontal cut in his throat.

At that moment…

Cinder's world imploded.

"Jaxon…" Cinder said as she felt the body guard drop her and Brynn drop Jaxon, his lifeless body falling to the ground with a heavy thud, making Cinder's eyes go wide.

"JAXON!" Cinder screamed as she crawled up to Jaxon's body and pulled him into her embrace, holding onto him for dear life as blood still continued to fall out of his throat.

"Why did he have to go and say that, I was beginning to actually consider letting him live… Oh well, I guess that'll have to do," Brynn said as she stared at Cinder, still crying, a smirk appearing on her face.

"You know what, I was just going to kill you as well, buuuuuut, seeing you like this might be an even crueler fate than killing you. Congratulations, Cinder! You get to live! Have fun living out the rest of your days in despair!" Brynn said cackling as she and her body guards left the complex, leaving Cinder alone with Jaxon's body.

Brynn's words rung inside of Cinder's head.

Over and over again.

Cinder could do nothing to save Jaxon…

NOTHING.

Not again…

Never again!

She would never let this happen again!

She needed power…

Absolute power!

And she would have this power…

No matter the cost.
