Disclaimer: I don't own anything and never will.
Acceptance wasn't something she was used to. She was stubborn and headstrong. It was not in her nature to just let things be. She always fought, always questioned, always held on.
Always.
It was essential to her and is one of the reasons why she was such a good NCIS agent, and assassin.
She also did not believe in fate. Never liked the idea that her path had been predetermined. That circumstances could not be changed, that there was only one way it could have ended.
That Taili was always going to die.
That she would kill Ari.
That it was always going to end this way.
Now, slumped against the corner of the wall with pain radiating throughout her body, and the smell of her own filth and blood surrounding her.
She had to accept that it was inevitable.
