Dear Readers! First of all, again thank you so much for all the feedback, the faves/follows, and the reviews, they mean so much to me :)
REPLY FOR THE GUEST REVIEWS
Soraia: Well, here it goes, I hope it doesn't disappoint. Thanks for the review :)
Pia: I'm glad you agree, I thought maybe I was overreacting because I like Felicity, and really dislike Sara lol But I really don't like the Felicity "she's so cute" line.
CassandraBlake: Thanks for the feedback again :) I don't like how Oliver acts either, and I definitely blame Sara as well. I hope they're gonna get over this soon.
I apologize that this chapter ends the way it does. I meant to write it way longer but then unfortunately, I didn't have the time for it, and I wanted to update so well this is a little bit short.
Please, leave a feedback if you have time. Thank you :)
All the mistakes are mine, I apologize for them.
"Elinor?!" I heard Hayden's terrified voice shouting into my ears as I froze for a second, seeing Oliver falling on his knees. Even he can't do anything with a kick like that. I didn't know what to do, if I should expose myself, and help him, or just use that slight second to make him completely harmless. "Elinor, run!"
Yes, run, that was the smartest thing to do, run. What was he even doing there? Oliver wasn't supposed to be at the crime scene for god sake! I hope I didn't aim too well with the nitrogen spray as it would shatter his eyeballs. As I took one step, following Hayden's order I fell on my face quite hard. Oliver grabbed my ankle, and just pulled my leg out from under me. Panick grew in me. He's gonna put an arrow into my heart.
"Ankle grip," I mumbled to Hayden, desperately hoping he could come up with a plan. This should have been nice and simple, not me fighting Oliver.
"El, you're a street kid, just fight," Hayden commanded, trying to remind me of the times when I got into fights. However, those fights were against other girls, yes, some of them might have been stronger than me but they weren't highly trained killing machines like Oliver.
I managed to turn on my back as Oliver pulled me back, luckily, I didn't manage to stumble to the laser beams. I kicked towards him with full force, my feet landing on his chest, and I saw him fall back. I can't believe I did that, he must still be under the influence of my previous kick.
"Now run, through the laser, trigger the alarm, he won't be able to go after you. Go, El, now!" Hayden ordered me in a strong, no question type of voice.
I stumbled on my feet and started out as quickly as possible. Oliver was on his feet in a blink of an eye as well but then the alarm went off. Everything went red, and before Oliver could have taken a step after me all hell broke loose. All types of old metal torture stuff flew around. The sharp objects were hanging above my head and just behind me as I ran towards the door. Of course, it didn't stop Oliver from coming after me.
As I reached the door, I glanced back and saw him balancing between the forking objects. I had to get out of here quickly. Now that I triggered the alarm, it would only be about a minute before the whole police station would be here.
"The back door, El," Hayden urged me, telling me which way too go. Fortunately, I knew the only place wouldn't be locked would be the back door, right next to the safe room. Lucky for us the chef always forgot to lock the door.
I turned to the left, and quickly pushed the door open, breathing in deeply the fresh air. I knew I didn't have time to stop, not even for a second because Oliver was after me but I needed that air.
"The car is right behind the fences, where you left it, don't stop," Hayden said, knowing me enough to realize I was thinking too much even in a situation like this.
I nodded, not that he could see it but I did anyway, and started towards the fences. The huge pavement fence would have been difficult for me to crawl on but there was a huge cherry tree right next to it, and as a kid I did crawl on a lot of trees. As I pulled myself up to the lowest brench an arrow just flew right next to me, almost touching my face. Damn it, I have to be fast. I crawl on the tree as fast as possible, and jumped over the fence, hearing Oliver's steps behind me. Without thinking I jumped into the car what I left there waiting for me, and drove away.
"Are you okay?" Hayden asked anxiously, his voice full of concern as he most likely only heard my panting.
"Yeah... see you soon," I sighed, taking the headphones out of my ears. I didn't really want to talk to anyone at the moment. I knew I'd have to convince him later it wasn't his fault that things got out of hand as we agreed he'd wait for me back in the apartment. But right now, all I could think of was how on Earth could everything spin out of control like this.
I couldn't stop my mind from thinking as I was driving around in the city. I couldn't believe that I actually had to fight Oliver. What was he doing there anyway? How was I going to explain this? Shouldn't have I told him right there when I realized it was him that it was me who he tried to kill, or whatever he was planning to do? If the trust between us was hurt before, now it was completely shattered, whether Oliver knew it was me, or not.
Realizing I had a quite valuable piece of diamond with me, I turned the car around, and started back to Hayden's apartment. He must be worried about me anyway. There was no need to have an argument with him as well. That was the last thing what I needed at the moment.
I felt incredibly exhausted as I got out of the car. Every step I took felt like I had some kind of piece of pavement on my feet. Though, it was more of a mental tiredness than a physical one, even if my body certainly got a huge adrenalin overwhelm tonight.
I couldn't believe what I saw when I opened the door, and stepped into the apartment. Hayden was flying across the room, Oliver hot on his heels. Before Oliver could get to Hayden he was back on his feet, kicking Oliver on the chest. I gasped in disbelief as I stared at them speechless. There were shattered pieces of the furniture everywhere, glasses, and bottles as well. The whole place was a mess, and it didn't seem like they planned to stop anytime soon. I knew both of them enough to realize, none of them would back down, and they both had the knowledge to kill.
My eyes landed on Diggle who stood in one of the corners, shaking his head in disapprovement but it didn't seem like he wanted to do anything about these two trying to rip each others throat out.
"Diggle, do something!" I screamed at him, not wanting to believe he'd just stand there, and let them do this to each other.
"I tried," he sighed, shrugging slightly, a small smirk appearing on his face.
"Stop it!"
What is wrong with everybody? I screamed in my head. I can tell I'll have to be the one ending this nonsense. I stomped to the dresser, and reached for the gun what I knew Hayden kept in one of the drawers. I grabbed the gun, and tried my best to look as terrifying as possible.
"I swear I'm gonna shoot if you don't stop!" I threatened them but clearly, they were way too preoccupied with beating the hell out of each other to even hear what I was saying.
"Felicity, no!" Diggle started towards me but it was too late to stop me then, I fired to the ceiling, ending up covered in some wall pieces. But that did it. Hayden and Oliver stopped fighting finally.
"What the hell, Felicity? Give that to me!" Oliver stomped to me. His face was already showing bad bruises, I could only imagine what was there to be found under his shirt. I moved my gaze to Hayden who looked just as beaten up as Oliver, they definitely did a number on each other.
"Well, you didn't want to stop, I must have done something," I glared at Oliver, and then at Hayden. I was mad at both of them. Yes, things might have turned out a little bit different than either of us would have expected but this was unacceptable.
"He almost got you killed!" They said in union, pointing at each other angrily. If I weren't in such a crappy mood, I'd have even laughed at this but I wasn't in a funny mood, not after this night.
"You shouldn't have let her go there! I could have killed her! Anyone could have killed her, she can't defend herself!" Oliver shouted at Hayden, starting towards him again.
"Yes, you could have killed her because you didn't recognize her, and you also didn't teach her how to protect herself!" Hayden yelled back at him, and they were in each others face again. Only that this time I jumped in between them.
"Okay, both of you just stop!" I screamed, pushing their chest so I could put some distance between them. "This must stop!"
As they stood above me, panting heavily I felt like I was the food what was thrown into the lion's cave, and they were ready to eat me up alive. Once this was over I swear, I'm going to a real vacation, most likely to the North Pole so I can't run into anyone, and no one can find me, and I can't make an even bigger mess.
