Disclaimer: I own Nothing but this plot :D
2:07 am. There was no turning back now, all the pieces were in place, all traps set.
Amy took another laboured breath, and fingered the cool metal of the gun in her hands. The Vespers could never reach her now, she'd be beyond useless.
Amy reread the message, and hit send. In just 3 minutes every Cahill around the world would be receiving this message and in perhaps 4, mourning the untimely end of their madrigal leader.
Amy grimaced, this had to be done. God only knows if it doesn't. She hoped that Ian would do his part, no prayed that he would.
That Dan would forgive her, again praying it would not be in vain. And after only a seconds' remorse, she began recording, and set a timer and the feed.
After all she wouldn't be there to stop it and she didn't want anyone to see the inevitable following her death. Amy spoke hurriedly, and begged the universe to let them all believe her half truths.
A sudden CRASH echoed behind her and she pressed on. Amy checked the top left of her screen, she was out of time.
"Dan I love you" She pulled the trigger. BOOM!
Amy's head split open with pain, it was unbearable, never ending, numbing. Amy felt the explosion over and over again.
Relentlessly hammering at her skull. It dulled for a second before a slash in her neck brought it back, the agony sharper and more focused.
It was then she knew she was damned to some Hell. Pain laced fire through every nerve in her being. A strangled scream escaped her throat, loud and piercing, barely audible over the excruciating pain.
Nothing existed, not anymore; there was only the burning, igniting her bones and setting alight her skin. Yet somehow she was at peace, relieved of the struggle she had lived with, the guilt. Everything started to dim, the raging fire in her skull quietened.
Was this it? The end? She strained to think through a knife of pain, shoved deep into her tortured head. wasn't your life supposed to flash before your eyes? Wasn't memories of love and happiness supposed to come flooding through?
Her final breaths came in shuddering gasps of panic. Apparently not for her. Inside she screamed, this had been her only comfort, and now it was gone, she tried to unearth something cheerful, but Amy's head was vacant, her soul slipping out into the void.
A thick fog shrouded her mind, the bitter taste of blood seeped into her mouth, sweet and oddly metallic. She felt empty, a cold darkness surrounded her, 'Black' she thought it's just black, nothing more, black, black, black"
'Had it been worth it?' Amy blew out her last strangled breath, almost choking from the effort.
Her eyelids weighed down and she finally, really felt the truth of dying. It wasn't a fantasy, it was no joyride.
There was no justification to death, there was no happiness in it, there was NOTHING good about it. It's very idea is a curse, it appeals to you, lures you in until you're right there in it's clutches and it's only then you realise that it was pointless all along, she could have found a way to make it work, she should have.
'so had it been worth it?'
no.
Dan groaned as he arose from his bed. he glanced at his watch, 2:10am and a Saturday.
Which meant he didn't actually have to get up. He did anyway knowing that once he was up- he would no longer be able to be embraced by sleep.
Dan's laptop pinged and he groggily stood to reach it. It was from Amy. He snorted, it was just like Amy to email him at this time of the morning.
However he stopped mid-snort when he saw the subject. "Sorry." Confusion quickly settled in his sleep addled head.
As Dan opened his email and started to read, his heart sped up, thumping hard against his chest. No. No, no, no, no, NO! 'this can't be happening' he thought desperately.
Something deep inside of him shrivelled away. 2 minutes ago he was sleeping peacefully now… now this. It was too much to take in.
But Amy, oh Amy, was she alive or had she really… No she couldn't do that to him, she wouldn't.
Dan's breath hitched in his chest as he spotted a hyper link on attached to the email. There was a video, and he raced to click on the link.
Amy's image flickered onto the screen. Dan stared in disbelief as he took in her ragged appearance and tearstained face.
Blood seeped out of a wound on her head and her split lip. Behind Amy was a pale blue wall covered in strange writing.
What had happened to her? "There's no easy way to say this…" Amy paused and took a deep breath "…I've been receiving threats from the Vespers, to put it simply…they want me dead.
I know things, secrets behind their organisation and should there be any indication that anybody else does too…. they'll be hunted down and killed. The only reason I'm alive is because they see potential in me."
She seemed to be looking directly at him now "They want me to become a Vesper-" a large CRASH echoed from the door behind her.
"I'm running out of time… I can't let them get to me." Tears were running freely down her face now, Dan's too, despair washed over him as he realised what was coming.
He watched as Amy quickly muttered something indecipherable before raising a gun to her head. Dan gasped "No, no, no, no Amy please"
Amy's finger tightened on the trigger "Dan I love you"
She screamed. and the world ended.
Jonah couldn't keep the grin off his face. Another gig had gone well, no, extremely well.
So well in fact, that a supposedly 3 hour concert had gone for 5. Five!. 5 straight hours of singing, dancing and entertaining the crowd.
Jonah's heart was still beating hard, the adrenaline still pumping through his veins. It really had been an awesome night. Jonah stepped into the waiting limo and relaxed back into his seat.
He was still grinning when he checked his email, however when he skimmed his ever overflowing inbox, and spotted an email from one Amy Cahill. His heart just about stopped altogether.
Cahill after Cahill received the email at exactly 2:10 am and Cahill after Cahill's heart stopped.
