Fighting Love
A Terminator Salvation What If Story, spoilers here if you haven't seen the movie. Blair/Marcus pairing.
Chapter Ten, another fight to the death and a another shocking figure returns to Blair. Who could it be, is it the person that Kate has hidden all this time? Thanks again for the reviews.
Kissing her husband goodbye once again, Kate held John ever so tightly. The bump somewhat blocked their embrace but it was a unbreakable bond between the three, she wrapping her arms around his neck while his hands were on her hips. They looked at each other, their eyes burning into their souls.
"Be careful, John. You are still not one hundred per cent, my love." Kate said, lowering her hand on his cheek.
John nodded, his thin lips curved to a small smile. "I'll be back, I assure you and the baby." He replied, letting their foreheads touch.
Blair watched them with sadness, the pain of being alone without Marcus was returning but she had to let go all memory of him. Like what her father said, she couldn't change the past but she could make the future more brighter for her.
She turned to see Ed, chatting to Barnes, like they knew each other. The burning hatred between her and Barnes still reigned, forgiveness was long gone for them and will be enemies until they died.
With a heavy sigh, she hopped in the jeep and sat next to Kyle who looked a little worried for the upcoming battle ahead.
"Hey, are you okay?" She asked, putting on her seatbelt.
Kyle looked at Blair, his face pale and a frown across his eyes.
"I know I shouldn't be scared but what happened before at the Skynet building, I nearly lost three people that I got to know apart from John but I felt a concention with him on the radio. I don't want the same thing to happen again, that's why Star's staying with Kate." He replied, gulping.
"Don't worry, I will be there for you like you have been for me. This time, there will be no deaths other than dead machines." Blair said with a smile which he returned.
Two lone jeeps drove towards the Skynet building, rain lashing hard on the ground and a eeire mist surrounded the place making it look haunting. Blair also felt uneasy for a reason, she watched Marcus go in there and found out about himself like why he was a machine. She shut her eyes, no more Marcus why couldn't he just disappear from her head?
Reopening her eyes, she looked to her left where Barnes and Ed were in the jeep along with two other crew members. She wondered if Barnes was saying false things to him, oh how he would love to tell lies and stories about his daughter to make him hate her. Why didn't that punch make him lose his memory with it? His choclate brown eyes rose to hers, a nasty sneer spread across his face. Blair stuck her middle finger up at him, he instanly looked away which made her smile a little evilly to herself.
They parked outside the building, away from the red light watching any sudden movement. They hopped out, gathering their guns to place either on their backs or hips. John made a signal to make the group come towards him, his hands laid on Ed and Blair.
"You two, I want you to sneak around the building and make some kind of distraction while we shall wait to begin the battle. Is that understandable?" He whispered in his gruff voice.
Ed and Blair nodded, it was a dangerous task but it was the only way. The group separted, leaving Blair and Ed running around the building to find a small hole enough for them to fit in.
Inside the building was machines everywhere but they werrn't alive, their haunting horrifying faces lay on tables and beds ready to be given life. Blair felt a shiver run down her spine, how she hated these terminators even though the people she loved were machines themselves.
"It's so quiet in here," Ed said, his eyes searching for some kind of distraction for John and the crew to begin their fight for the death.
Their walk led them to a control pad where a button for the front doors sat, Blair instanly pressed it only to her horror that a loud wailing sound echoed the building.
"Oh crap, they are coming. Run Father!" She said, pointing at the screen where dozens of machines were running to see where the nosie was coming from.
They ran through many rooms, the wailing constant and the machines gaining quicker to their target.
Outside, John roared orders for the crew to begin shooting anything that looked like a machine. Many fell instanly, the group headed towards the building with guns ablazing. John's thoughts were of Blair and Ed, he had a inkling by touching the button would lead them to a death trap. He only hoped it wasn't too late to save them
Blair and Ed were at a dead end, machines were being built around them and the exit was blocked by a wooden plank that was unbearable to move.
"I can't move it!" Ed screamed, forcing all his weight on the plank.
Blair panicked around her, they were going to die without really knowing each other by these machines.
"Here, let me try!" She cried, using her weight on the plank which still didn't move.
Giving up, they jogged towards the flight of stairs they used when they came here only to be horrifed of a large group of machines with guns shooting bullets. Blair screamed, pushing Ed forwards back down the stairs to get into postion behind hollow walls so they can get a better chance of fighting. They shooted with all their might, many falling with single shots but some were determined to live though they had many bullet shots.
Blair was near running out while Ed kept on, being the fighter she never saw before.
"Dad, help me!" She cried, making him stop and notice his daughter struggling.
Ducking each enemy bullet, he ran to save her by adding his to her guns.
"Thanks Dad," She said, with a smile. He nodded and they returned shooting.
A figure was walking towards the room where Blair and Ed was, hiding in the shadows as it watched John and the crew come to save the day. All machines fell only for one of the bullets causing a fire in the room. Panic rose as the group rushed towards the stairs, flames were rushing fiercely as each made machine succumbed to the hot fire.
The figure noticed Blair struggling for breath, coughing and left behind from the group. It was it's chance to save the poor person before it was too late.
The smoke was unbearable, it blined Blair quickly making her trapped into the deadly fire. She could barely hear John's shouts of her name along with Barnes and Ed, no-one was going to save her. She coughed harshly, tasting blood on her tongue. She was going to die this time in Skynet, finally together with her mother and perhaps with Marucs in heaven.
Tears flowed down her face, how could she ever forget Marcus? He was her true love in this life, no other would replace him or be him. Her heart ached, her body trembled as the flames grew hotter and more dangerous. Suddenly a figure walked towards her, tall and muscular with blue eyes and short brown hair.
"Blair?" It said, in a soft familer voice to her.
The last thing she remembered before falling into the strangers arms was one word: "Marcus?"
