The boys were in the dungeon anxiously awaiting what would come next. Lex was pacing back and forth, “We’d have no trouble getting the book, huh?” A defeated Rouge lifted his gaze from the hard stone ground that he was sitting on, “do not mock me, Lex.” “Good thing the girls will come in an hour and a half,” Mark smiled trying to see the best out of their situation. Lex quickly stopped pacing and looked at Rouge in horror, Rouge looked back with the same expression. Both Lex and Rouge turned their gaze to Mark.
“The girls are coming,” Lex asked in a defeated voice. Mark laughed a bit, awkwardly, “yes don’t you remember?” Lex walked over to the wall and said nothing. He suddenly raised his fist and punched the wall, “yes I remember.” Lex was infuriated by knowing that the girls would come soon. His fist had cuts all over it and scratches. It was bleeding. Mark looked at Lex with tears in his eyes and a worried look, “why are you mad Lex?” Rouge sighed, turning his gaze back to the ground, “he’s upset because what are the girls going to do against the Alpha and his Guards.” Mark looked at Rouge then quickly at the floor, “I didn’t think about that.”
Lex put his forehead against the wall he had just punched moments ago, “yeah none of us did.” Rouge grunts in annoyance, “this is exactly why I didn’t want them to come.” “No you didn’t want them to come because you think they’re weak,” Lex turned around facing Rouge. Rouge looked at Lex with his face looking like he was going to attack Lex, He was practically fuming with anger, “No I don’t want them to die!” Rouge shouted in a way that echoed throughout the dungeon. He quickly looked at the floor and took a breath trying to calm himself down, and now they’re going to.” Rouge said in a calm yet depressed voice.

Lex looked at the floor, for a moment he looked like he was going to cry, “so you cared about them all along.” Rouge stayed silent for a moment and then met Lex’s gaze, “yes, I just didn’t want to get close to them.” Lex walked over to Rouge and sat beside him, “why?” “Because every time we get close to someone they leave,” Rouge said in a shaky voice. Mark and Lex both looked to the ground with depressed faces. “They’re either going to leave us or die,” Rouge sourly told them. Mark smiled at Rouge, the smile was sad but yet truthful, “Rouge just believe in them they might just surprise you.” Rouge looked away from Mark, “I doubt it.” he looked even sadder, “Mya can’t even use magic at all yet.”
“Lira is also too scared to stand up to people so I doubt she can use her summoning eggs to fight,” Rouge said in a negative tone. Lex looked up and sighed, “he’s got a point.” Mark's eyes started to fill with tears, “I know I just don’t want to lose them.” As Mark closed his eyes a stream of tears fell. Lex was infuriated, he had punched the ground, “I refuse to lose Mya!” “Why Mya, is this related to your flirting earlier,” Rouge curiously asked. Lex stuttered for a moment, “Yes, I love her!” Lex’s eyes were filled with tears. Rouge looked at the ground, “you don’t know what love is, Lex.” “Yes I do,” Lex shouted at Rouge in defiance. “Even if she’s the first girl that has ever been nice to you doesn’t mean you love her,” Rouge had maturely told Lex. Lex stood up, “shut up!” Lex walked to the other side of the cell and sat there. Everyone had become silent.
