New story. This one will not be a long story. Maybe 3 chapters. I hope to update pretty quickly but I still have a few plot ideas to flesh out. Not a romance fic but there may be moments of Helen/Nikola. I hope you like it and please take a moment to review if you'd like to read more! =)
"Oh, this is not good."
"Quiet, Heinrich."
The pair silently looked at the monitor. They watched as Will approached a figure crouching on the ground, hands raised in surrender. Will looked over his shoulder as one of the men behind him said something.
"Can you get the audio?"
"I'm trying, dude. Give me a minute"
"Why don't you just let me help-"
Nikola reached over and starting fiddling with the wires Henry had been working so hard to connect. They both stopped, however, when one of the men handed Will something. There was a look of surprise and a flicker of fear on his face as he looked down at the gun now in his hand.
"We have to get the audio working."
"I told you, I'm trying-"
"Maybe if I…"
Nikola tugged on a wire and suddenly there was a screech of feedback as the audio came on. Henry shot an annoyed look at the vampire before returning his gaze to the security monitor. One of the men, the one they believed to be their leader spoke to Will as he indicated to the others to leave the room.
"We'll leave you to take care of this. I'll be watching from outside the door. If you really are who you say you are, you won't have a problem with it. If not, Roc here will kill you and the woman without breaking a sweat."
The men laughed as they exited the warehouse room leaving Will and the captive alone. The figure rose from the ground, back to the camera. Will slowly raised the gun, his arm shaking. Henry and Nikola both seemed frozen as they watched the scene unfold.
"You don't have to do this."
There was a quiver in her voice that sent a shiver down Nikola's spine. He was not accustomed to Helen Magnus showing fear of any kind. He could not help but hold his breath as Will took a few steps toward her, the gun still pointing directly at her chest.
"Please don't do this."
She was pleading with him now. She sounded desperate. Will turned from her, then gripped the gun tighter, fixing his eyes on her. His arm was steadier now. There was a look of uncertain determination on his face.
He took in a deep breath and pulled the trigger as she yelled out one final plea.
"Please, NO-"
Her scream was cut off as a shot rang out.
Helen Magnus crumpled to the ground and moved no more.
I wouldn't actually kill Helen Magnus... or would I?
