First of all, I'm sorry about the typos in the last chapter. This chapter includes the twist. I hope you like it and review! xx

''The storm starts, when the drops start dropping. When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.'' Dr. Seuss

One of Askari's men walked over to Cruz. I started yelling, ''no no no, what are you doing.'' Cruz told me it's okay. How was this okay, they were going to kill him. I was tired and emotional but most of all, I was angry. Angry at myself for not being able to protect Cruz and angry at the men who took us. ''You son of a bitch.'' I yelled, hoping it would make a difference. Hoping it would stop them from killing Cruz but in vain. One of Askari's men pointed the gun at Cruz, ''It's okay.'' He said.

Askari started talking. ''You have five seconds to give me what I want.''

''No'' I told him

''5''

''You don't want to do this.''

''4''

''You kill him, your plan is ruined''

''3''

''Stop counting.''

''2''

''Please.'' I begged him, I saw the terrified look in Cruz his eyes. A look I wouldn't forget any time soon

''1''

''No.'' I yelled but before I knew a shot was fired, straight through Cruz his chest. ''No'' I yelled once again. I knew the shot was already fired but I hoped that it would help some way.

Tears filled my eyes. Paralyzed I stared at the blood, floading from the wound. I wanted to turn my head away but Askari turned my face back. He made me watch Cruz die, he made me listen to his last breath. I couldn't holds back the tears anymore. The warm tears fell good on my cold cheeks. I realized I was freezing but I didn't care. All I was focused on was Cruz his body. ''Let her down.'' I heard Askari say to one of his men. When they put down the chains my body hit the ground. I crawled to Cruz his body and begged him to wake up. How was I supposed to do this all by myself. I felt dizzy in my head and the room started moving. I blacked out.

''Hey, welcome back, how was your trip home? What's wrong?''

''Nothing's wrong, I'm pregnant.''

I always understood what it was like to lose someone that means the world to you, I understood what it was like to lose a sister. I never understood my mom, I never understood what it was like to lose a child but now I do. I lost my baby and there's nothing I can do to get it back. I think about it everyday, if it would have been a boy, or a girl. A baby sister for Henry, or a brother.

''What happend?''

''Convoy was attacked.''

''Hastings?''

''Taken, by Askari's men.''

There was a small silence before Cruz continued.

''There's something else.''

''No, no, no.'' this couldn't be true, this couldn't happen to me.

''I'm so sorry.''

''No.'' I looked down and put my hands at my stomach. I turned my head away from Cruz. I just needed to be alone.

No matter what would happen, the baby will live in my heart forever.
