AN: Hey, here's a one-shot because i just finished reading the Unearthly Trilogy and now i don't know what to do with my life..
Enjoy!
Blood pulsates through her entire being as she feels the pins and needles overtake what feels like every inch of her body; from her head to her fingertips as they press lightly on the trigger.
No.. No..
The panicked tone in her head hides itself from her somewhat calm exterior.
"Why? Why me?"
"Because, sweetheart.. You're just too much fun to torment.."
Earlier..
She has spent the whole day trying to find him. Not Mal. Him. And this may be the closest lead she has. She steps out from her car, no back-up, one weapon and a whole lot of determination in front of the old warehouse. She was told to present herself, and not herself.
She cautiously steps toward to abandoned building of hell, her gun in hand and kneels against the wall right next to the door and listens closely..
SMASH
A bullet rips through the glass window beside her, sending shattered pieces of plagued glass falling around her like rain sharp, glittery rain. Before she can even cover her face, a piece has already slashed through her left cheek. It sends a piercing pain as well as drips of blood down her face as she winces.
She hears a dark chuckle from inside the building, filling her with sorrow.
"It's okay, honey! I know you're there, you're so fun to tease. Come on in! The party has only just begun.."
She cautiously stands and steps inside, gun poised, aiming straight into The Firstborn's chest. On the floor near him lays his gun.
"Come on, Nat. Let's be fair.." He says with a smirk.
She hesitantly places her gun down and kicks it about a metre away.
"So.. What's this about?" She asks, slyly looking around for any traps, bombs or anything of the sorts.
"He's gone.." He says.
Her mind flashes with confusion.
"Who's gone?"
"Him.. Yours.."
She feels a wave of panic.
"I- I don't understand.."
"Mal.." He says with an evil smile.
"Mal is dead.. Because of you." He adds.
Blood pulsates through her entire being as she feels the pins and needles overtake what feels like every inch of her body; from her head to her fingertips.
No.. No..
The panicked tone in her head hides itself from her somewhat calm exterior.
"Why? Why me?"
"Because, sweetheart.. You're just too much fun to torment.."
She feels like she could vomit as tears seem to well up. But they're quickly gone when she realises.
"That's not possible.. How could he be dead?"
"Ah! Denial already.. Then will come depression, anger, bargaining and.. Maybe acceptance. But i wouldn't get my hopes up."
"You didn't answer my question."
"Clever one you are." He remarks sarcastically.
"By willingly meeting me here, you silently agreed to have him extermi- Hkk!"
He pauses in shock as a gaping hole in his throat sends a geyser of blood everywhere, tainting his gun nearby. He collapses revealing Mal right behind him with a gun in hand; the back exit door open.
"Mal!" She yells in joy, but her once beautiful smile washes away as she notices his frown. His brows are furrowed and he keeps his gun squarely aimed at her.
"Mal..?"
"You betrayed me.." His face starts to warp and melt until it begins to run down his jacket as he pulls the trigger.
You bolt up with a start in your bed, sweat streaking down your neck and face as Mal wakes up with a startle from your jolt.
"Hey, you okay?" He asks slurred, yet concerned.
The droplets of sweat drip down your collarbone as he sits up and places a comforting hand on your back. You look into his deep blue eyes, and see that they are not the eyes you saw before.
"Yeah.. Yeah I'm fine. Bad dream.."
You lay back down into his arms and try to succumb to sleep, but the fear of seeing Mal that way forever lingers..
