Chapter Three (Should've When You Could've)
Fitz stared at the ring, "Wha' tha' Hell?" he whispered. "Why did Ward have this?" He closed the box and turned to go to Coulson's office. This was something that Coulson needed to see.
He approached the open door and saw Coulson and May talking. Coulson saw Fitz and waved him in.
"Fitz, what is it?" Coulson asked.
Fitz dropped the box on Coulson's desk, "I found this in Ward's jacket pocket, after I tripped over the jacket."
Coulson shook his head and he opened the box. His eyes widened as he saw the silver ring, "You said this was in Ward's jacket?" he asked.
"Yes." Fitz replied.
Coulson took the ring and held it between his thumb and index finger. He examined it and found an engraving on the inside of the ring. "It says something. It says, 'To Skye, love Grant.'. What is this?"
Fitz quickly snickered at the line. To him it didn't sound like something that Ward would say.
"Leo!" Coulson barked.
"Sorry."
"Like I said, what is this?" Coulson asked.
May looked closely at the ring, "It looks like an engagement ring." she replied. "That's exactly what it is."
Coulson gulped and placed the ring back inside its box. "Do you mean?" he asked.
"This doesn't seem like Ward." Fitz cut in.
May looked at Coulson, "I believe so. I think that Grant was planning to propose."
Bright sunlight cut its way into a small, rundown shack. Paint peeled off of the boards and dust covered about everything inside. It looked as though it had been abandoned for several years.
A beam of sunlight found its way onto a small bed. Even though the shack seemed to be abandoned, a woman laid asleep beneath the sheets of the old bed.
The woman groaned as the sunlight woke her. She peeled herself from the sheets and placed her feet on the peeling floorboards. She stood and looked around. She was still fully clothed, even though her clothes were somewhat tattered.
She started to panic. She didn't know where she was, and she didn't know how in the world she had gotten there. Her mind was fuzzy, she remembered a deafening boom and then nothing at all. Her memory was black after that.
She rushed to the door and flung it open and ran out into the bright sunlight. She was in a forest, but she didn't know where though.
She didn't take a moment to stop and think. She bolted through the trees, trying to find something that she would recognize. The bright sunlight gleamed off what seemed to be a silver tracking bracelet on her wrist.
Author's Note: I don't own AoS, Marvel does. Sorry for such the short chapter, I was trying to do this before school because I had a two hour delay. It's revealed that Ward was planning to propose. And who is exactly this woman? And what about Ward? What is he doing now since he cant find anything that signals that Skye is alive? Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return in a chapter. Keep reading and please review! ~AwakeAndAliveSpartan.
