So I've basically done 500/3000 words for my history project due tomorrow. I'm accepting the fact that I'm going to FAIL and moving on to something much more important: Fanfiction. I love the reviews and thanks to my good ole friend angelwings202 for the tip on the line spacing. But never fear! I think I sorted it with the previous update. Moving on, I still need to watch the newest episode or two of Nikita. I'm not sure how many I missed when I was away, so if I'm going totally off context, bear-with me. If I'm not, then great…
"Hey there kiddo" welcomed Birkhoff warmly. "How was the flight?" Alex lay down in a heap on the couch "Long".
"Well you're in better form than Nikki" said Birkhoff sitting down beside her. "Nikita's back? Is she Ok?" asked Alex sitting up. "I don't think so. She came back alone. It's just like London all over again" said Birkhoff shaking his head.
"Alone? What happened to Michael?" she asked concerned. "He couldn't take being away from Max, so he left with Cassandra. Nikita came home late last night. She told me what happened and left for a walk. She's been gone a few hours now and I'm wondering if I should be sending out a search party".
Alex got to her feet "Which direction did she go?" Birkhoff pointed out to the beach "She took a left up along there". "I'll have my phone so call me if she's home before me". Birkhoff nodded.
Alex took off at speed down the beach. She scanned her surroundings for the tall brunette, but there was no luck. She had been running for ten minutes now so she began to slow down her pace. It was when she stopped completely to regain her breath that she saw a figure in the distance, about fifty metres up the beach. Alex regained her breath and took off again.
It was Nikita. She was sitting in the sand dunes and grassy patches looking out onto the ocean. Alex slowed down to a light jog and then to a walking pace. She looked at the distant face of the broken woman.
Nikita watched Alex as she sat down next to her. They said nothing for a few minutes. Then Alex spoke softly "You'll always have me, no matter what".
That warm feeling ran through Nikita, it made her smile, but only for a moment before the pain came back.
"There was nothing I could say or do; his mind was made up" said Nikita staring out at the ocean. Alex nodded and listened intently. She was silent, wanting only to hear the crash of the waves as they hit the ground and the soft voice that belonged to Nikita.
"Maybe I'm better off. At least now he can't hate me for cutting off contact with Max" said Nikita harshly. Alex put her arm around Nikita's shoulder. Nikita rested her head on Alex's. They stayed sitting there for a while until Alex heard Nikita's light breathing as she descended into sleep. Alex smiled. Knowing Nikita, she was probably up all night and didn't get any, so she let her rest her head on her shoulder for as long as she needed.
Alex thought about how she felt about Nikita. She cared for her, and when she was hurt or upset she just wanted to make her feel better in any way she could. It was then that she promised herself to keep her safe and sound, a promise that she would never break.
I'm not even going to say "another short chapter". I think you should all just accept that my chapters are going to be short, sometimes long or medium but the majority of the time, short. Also: I kind of want to start another Fanfiction but I know that would mean that I wouldn't be able to update as frequently. Now I know that's kind of mean after me being A-Wall for two weeks, but, I can't lie to ye, especially when it affects this story, but gnaw it over and let me know through a PM. And once again Review!
