AN: A little one-shot, by me.
Set In Stone? I think not.
My heels clack against the stone floor and my one good arm dangles lazily by my side as I take in the familiar surroundings, remembering the time when I walked these hallways as a student. I see Gillian's sword and still swept up in the current of the past I take off, running towards it, only to stop immediately. wincing in pain. Looking up, I see the Gallagher Hall Of Fame. And there we are. Four friends-no, sisters- entering a life we thought we were prepared for.
I remember those frequent, sleepless nights when we had all been up, discussing the future. We thought we had everything set in stone.
We were wrong.
I thought I'd always have my best friends with me, but within the last year, I'd lost them all.
Macey had married Preston (also a spy) but because of who they were, they were swept into the public eye, and were lost to me forever.
Jonas had died in a lab experiment gone horribly wrong and poor little Lizzy had followed suit not long after due to a chemical explosion.
Zach and Grant had been missing for months.
And now, even my best friend had died. The bomb couldn't be disabled and had gone off before she had time to get out. I should've been there with her, but I was a hundred yards away, doing surveillance. I will the memory away, but it will always be there with me.
I heard it before I saw it.
"Get out of there!" I had yelled. I heard her pounding feet and panting breaths.
"Ungh! The door-it's locked! Listen" she said. "There's not a lot of time. I'll try to find another door, but if I don't-"
"You will!" I chocked out.
"Just- never forget me, okay? And- and if you see him again, tell him I love him."
After that, I think her comms went off, but I can't be sure because that was when the bomb blew-killing her and crippling me.
I remember what Liz said. "Our futures are set in stone!"
I manage a tiny smile. A typical Liz statement.
"No Liz," I whisper in the thin air. "Nothing is ever set in stone. Especially for us." I whip a tear away and resume my last walk out of the doors of Gallagher Academy.
AN: What did you think? Who's POV do you think this is in? Wanna press the little green button and tell me?
