Hey everyone
This is my first one-shot and my second time writing for fanfiction. Please review with any suggestions because I really appreciate it!
The white walls surrounded his injured body. He had always hated being inside, some would say he was claustrophobic though he preferred saying he was just one with nature.
He could hear the discreet beeping coming from somewhere in the room. It was causing his already aching head to pound with pain. He ran his cut hands through his shaggy blonde hair, trying to untangle the already formed knots.
Many visitors had entered the room to see him but he refused to talk to every one of them. When you are betrayed by someone who knew you better than anyone else and was the love of your life, you tend to just keep to yourself….
(This might be a bit confusing but now this is what happened before he got where he is now and then it tells what happened before then, I have but this second flashback-in-a-flashback in italic to make it easier to understand. If you have any questions just review or PM me and I will gladly answer )
He had been walking among the trees while the breeze danced across the leaves creating a melody that only known by those were lucky enough. Oddly enough he saw himself as the most unlucky person.
His large shoes crunched the fallen leaves scattered across the ground. The weather had already dropped a few degrees; he hoped that he could finish his task before it got too cold.
It was his first mission without Clary; they had always done them together from the moment they applied till the moment she ripped out his heart.
They were creeping down the mountain, his beautiful Clary by his side. It had been days since either of them had seen another sole. Destroying this camp would be the closest they would get.
The camp was owned by an evil business owner and it needed to be destroyed. That's all they were told.
Clary was a few steps ahead of him, directing them down the mountain as safely as possible.
When they reached the base of the cliff they split up. He went to disarm all the alarms so Clary could get inside plant the bomb and get out without being discovered. He carefully made his way to the security room in the direction Alec, there office man, had directed him to go.
When he reached the door to the security room a man was standing in front of it, which was odd as it had been scheduled that they would be at dinner when they arrived.
The man had a smug expression on his face. His white, almost silver hair was falling into his black eyes. The man was rather tall and strongly built, but he could take him, he had to be able to.
He had reached for his gun but before his hand reached his pocket the door to the room opened.
He had frozen in shock
All this time he trusted her, loved her and for what? She had betrayed him for Verlac. She had opened her mouth to say something, probably how she had left him but before she managed to say a word. The bomb she must have still planted in the heart of the main building, separating them.
Separating him from is one true love.
He had been in hospital much like the one he is in now for three months before they let him out and another month before he was allowed to get back in the action. Four months stuck inside, it was like being stuck in an elevator with Justin Beiber for a day. ( thankyou BiBi for that amazing scenario ;) )
Now he was on a mission, a mission o explode Verlac's new secret base. Potentially killing is one and true love in the process.
He had been walking for ours through the dense forest and his water supply was nearly empty. If he did not find water soon he would be forced to go to bed thirsty. But that could have been a good scenario; some stories have been told by his colleges of people going days before finding water.
Luckily for him, only forty minutes after running out of water a crystal clear stream came into view. Along the walls of the stream were small mossy rocks and he could see schools of fish gliding through the water.
He knew that he should only collect his water then continues on his way, but the water was too tempting. He set down his woven bag on a dry patch, so the supplies inside would not get damaged, and rubbed his sore shoulder where the bag had been digging in.
Once he had filled his bottle full of the clear water, he lay down on the ground, not caring if he got wet. He was not important anymore; he was merely a guinea pig in the hands of officials.
Before he could prevent it his eyes closed, slowly letting sleep take over.
The last thought that ran through his head before sleep overtook him, was her face.
He awoke with a start to the sound of water flowing and birds cheeping. He loved waking up to this, it's the main reason he applied to this job. He wasn't much into the killing, but he loved waking up to the noises of nature. He tried to shake off the dream he had just had but it would not budge, green eyes would forever haunt her life.
The river had risen a few feet, exceeding the rock barrier, so his toes were now covered with the cool water. He quickly moved his bag back onto his shoulder so the water did not have a chance to get it.
The sun was just passing over the horizon so he assumed it was around 5:30am. He had brought no watch with him, there was no reason to know the time when no matter what time it was you would be doing the same thing.
He continued his walk, while eating an orange from his bag. He was still wet from his rest but the sun quickly dried him off, only leaving his feet still damp.
He had been walking for what seemed like hours. The pain in his shoulder had turned into a dull ache and his skin was covered with so much dirt that it appeared many shades darker then what it usually would.
He was usually used to these types of situations, walking for days at a time with no break, being in such pain but having to just ignore it. But this mission was different than all the others, more challenging. It was personal.
He had been walking all day and the sun was beginning to set. The orange light shone through the clouds, creating a show of lights along the floor. His eyes were suddenly drawn to a large gap in the foliage to his right.
The branches created an arch that led into darkness. He was so drawn to the secret pathway even though it was going in the opposite direction to the way he was directed to go.
Without warning his legs started moving towards the direction of the path. Before he could stop he entered the archway and started on his way in the new direction.
Small amounts of light filtered through gaps in the leaves, creating just enough light so he could see where he was walking.
The path was much longer then he had first expected, after around an hour of walking it opened up into a large path with trees on either side. The sun was nearly down and it had begun to get hard to see where he was going.
He was about to set down for the night when lights shone through the trees. He stopped for a moment and stared in the direction of the mysterious light.
He crept up to the trees and peered behind them.
He could see three large buildings in a clearing and many people walking around, some in lab coats, others in some sort of uniform.
He couldn't believe it; he had found Verlac's camp. He wondered why it was here and not where he had been told. The only reason he can think is that the other one must be a decoy.
Suddenly a flash of red crossed his sight.
There she was, acting like she belonged here with that monster. They appeared to be having a heavy discussion.
He crawled forward towards the line of bushes that circled around the edge of the camp to get a better look at them.
He managed to get close enough to the couple to hear then conversation.
"I will never do that!"
"Oh yes u will Clarissa, you are with me now and you will do as I say!"
"The only reason I joined you was to save him, we both now that!"
"well then we have a bit of a misunderstanding . !" Verlac snarled before grabbing her arm.
Before they had a chance to get away, Jace leaped up from his hiding place. he reached into his bag he was now happy he had and pulled out the grenade Alec had made sure he brought as he was always thinking ahead.
he pulled out the metal pin and threw it to his feet.
for a few seconds the three of them just stood, staring at each other Clary's eyes were filled with an unreadable emotion as she stared at him. Verlac's on the other hand were plain, blank, empty of any emotion.
Before he gave it any more thought he threw the grenade in the open area between them and ducked behind the bush to try and protect him from the blast.
only mere moments after he ducked into safety the world around him exploded into millions of pieces.
those millions of pieces separated them.
separated him from his one true love
his only love.
Hope you liked it!
