I didn't get any reviews yet (nock on wood) but here is the next chapter in my story!
Evey was breathing harder and harder. She knew that the finger men knew where she was hiding, her only hope was to try and climb higher and quicker than them. She started her way up.
"There she is lads!" one of them called out, but she didn't stop. Her main goal was to try to get back to V before he bled to death. She reached the top. There was no way down other that a door leading into the apartments. Evey ran over to it and began to wiggle the handle but it was hopeless, the door was locked.
She couldn't see too well which meant she had to be careful not to fall off the edge. The finger men finally made there way to the top.
"Looks the lil' lady is stuck," one said with a smirk on his face.
"I think we should elp her down," another said as the moved closer to her. Evey leaned up against the door, when suddenly a voice came behind from behind her.
"The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him," the voice said from the shadows.
"Who the ell' are you?!" a finger man said angrily.
"V!" Evey said both glad and stunned.
"And fortune, on his damned quarrel, smiling, showed like a rebel's whore," V continued. It reminded Evey of when they first met, exactly like this but in the alley instead of on top of a building.
"It's the terrorist!" one of them shouted. V lunged at them and attacked. Even with his injury he killed one of them instantly, he was a bit flimsy and Evey knew he was really pushing himself this time.
The finger men noticed V was off kilter and they attacked him hoping to finish him off. Even with his present injury he managed to block a majority of the blows, but not all them. One of the finger men managed to stab a knife into his leg causing him collapse. V couldn't let Evey get hurt, he pulled out the knife and threw it into the finger man's chest. V was really tired now and Evey needed to do something. Thinking as quickly as she could she got close to a finger man and kicked him below the belt. He keeled over in agony. V glanced over at her and Evey smirked, but in his condition he couldn't be distracted for too long. Without hesitation, he quickly finished off the other two finger men.
V dropped both his knives and sunk back against the door. As he did Evey ran over to him and helped him so he wouldn't hurt himself falling.
"Evey, why did you save me?" he asked her panting.
"I could ask the same," she told him as she smiled.
"Did you set off the bomb?"
"No I was too concerned about you," she said hoping he wouldn't be mad.
"I wish you hadn't," he said disappointed, "now they have probably discovered the train, which that means that they will be keeping a closer watch."
"We have a year to come up with another plan," she told him trying to lighten his spirit.
"Yes, good point. For now lets head home. Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point every man is condemned a criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution," V quoted, and for once Evey was pretty sure she understood what he meant. V attempted to stand up, but he failed through injury and exhaustion. Evey knew she would have to help him walk so once again she put his arm over her shoulder and they slowly made there way back to the shadow gallery.
And there you have it. But it turns out I did get a review so what I said at the beginning is now a lie. But now I need to continue some of my other stories. See you next chapter bye!
