I used the prompts"Wherever I go, death follows. I refuse to let you just be another name added to the list," and a modified version of "Someone has killed herself, but our heroine is positive it was actually a murder." This will involve modified history so it's AU. It starts out very angsty so be warned. lol

Chapter One

The windows shattered, and with only a second to spare, Robert pushed Anna underneath him as the car spun around in circles. Anna was awake now. With the adrenaline running through her veins, she took off running. She has been around enough guns to know what they sound like. It was too loud to be thunder and too powerful to be a car. Despite the shattering glass behind her, the bullet still reverberated in her ears.

Those same bullets had killed her sister. Anna angrily pushes the tears away as she thinks of poor Alex dying in her arms just a few hours ago. She was not supposed to see her die. It was supposed to be a clean 'suicide.' Anna knew the moment she got there it was murder.

"Don't hate me Anna. I did all of this for you."

"For me?

"I did it because if I didn't then YOU would never have any peace. They were trying to turn me into you. I figured if I let them think they succeeded then they would leave you alone. I could not let Faison and his minions take anything else from you."

"So Peter…"

"Peter isn't either of ours…he was Faison's partner in crime. I had no idea he was going to do this to you…that somehow he would find someone to continue what he started. I thought you were safe. Dear God I thought you were safe. I am sorry Anna. I'm so sorry Anna."

Anna stroked her hair as she kissed her temple. "I'm sorry too Alex. You are my sister and no matter what I love you. You should not have done all this for me. I am not worth all that."

"You are Anna. You really are. Please tell Dimitri I love him. "

"You can tell him that yourself Alex."

"I won't make it that long. Please Anna. Promise me. "

"I promise. Alex?"

"What is it?"

"I forgive you. Please forgive yourself. "

Alex nods her head painfully and then whispers softly in her sister's ear. "Forgive Robert Anna. I know he has made mistakes. I know he has hurt you…But there has never been a man that makes you happier than he does. There has never been a man who loves you more. Please Anna…do not withhold that forgiveness just because you are scared to feel that much again…If I had the chance to do it all over again with Dimitri, I would. Robert is to you what Dimitri is to me. He loves you Anna. Please do not shut out that kind of love again. At the end of your life, would you not rather have more "I tried then 'If only's.' "

"Don't do this to me Alex. Do not die. We have lost so much time already. "

"I love you Anna. I will always cherish the time that we had together in Pine Valley. Please let yourself be happy. Let someone love you as much as Robert loves you. Promise me."

"I love you Alex."

"Promise me Anna. Please. I need to know that you'll be okay."

"Haven't you been worrying about me enough? You gave up your life for me. That ends now."

"Anna please...Just promise me."

"If it will give you peace then okay. I promise you."

"You mean it right?"

"Of course I do," Anna says, her fingers crossed behind her back. She kisses Alex's head one more time and strokes her sister's face.

"I love you Alexandra Devane. You can go to sleep now. You are safe."

"I love you Anna Devane. I am so glad that I got to know my sister. You'll take care of Dimitri for me won't you?"

"Always."

"Goodbye Anna. "

"Goodbye Alex."

When Alex closes her eyes for the last time, Anna sobs into her sister's chest. Her sisters last words were about her and her ex husband. Alex was the selfless one. Not her. Not ever her. Everywhere she went Death followed. She would not let Finn be another casualty.

…And Robert, she thought silently…The problem with Robert though was she knew he would not let her push him away. How was she going to get him to hate her?

Anna snaps back to the present when she hears a gunshot pierce through the trees. Through her peripheral, she sees Robert come up behind her limping.

"You should have stayed in the car in that condition," she berates.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you cannot push me far enough away? I am your partner Devane. We are in this together."

"You can barely walk."

"It is going to take more than a bloody bullet to take me down. Now, do you have any more excuses or are we going to take down this monster."

"Fine…but if you manage to get yourself killed because of your stubbornness, I will bring you back from the dead to kill you myself. Got it?"

"Got it Partner."

"Are you ready?"

"One question Anna…Are you sure you can shoot the man you thought was your son. You better be 100% sure or we are both dead."

There is only one chance to end this. It is simple really. A single shot to the head. No chances to miss. No room for failure.

Yet she had tried and failed to murder Faison. She could not fail this time.

She pulled back the trigger and Robert started counting in his head. He was going to end this for her one way or another. He would not fail her one more time.

Not again…Not ever again.
