Vaas and Shae walked into the party.

"Can I get you a drink, chiquita?" She smiled, remembering the last time he asked her that. It was her first night on the island as an official pirate for Vaas.

"No," she replied teasingly, wondering if he would say the same thing.

"Vodka it is!" he exclaimed as he started walking away. She walked over to the giant bon fire where all the pirates were dancing. One stood on a log with a drink in his hand.

"TO THE DEATH OF THAT MOTHER FUCKER SNOW WHITE!" He poured his drink into the fire, making it rise higher and hiss louder. Everyone cheered. Shae laughed. This "Snow White" person must have really given them hell.

"Hey hermana." He handed her a red solo cup filled to the brim with alcohol as he pulled her in close for a kiss. When she pulled away, she saw that same devastated look.

"I have to go back to the warehouse for a few minutes. I just have a few things I forgot there that I need to pick up."

"I will come with-"

"No!" She looked at him surprised. He closed his eyes and let his forehead rest against hers. "I will just be a few minutes, okay?" He gave her a long, focused kiss. "Stay out of trouble, chicka. I love you with all my heart." She gave him a confused look. Why was he acting so sentimental?

"I love you too. Be quick." He gave her one last short peck to the lips and jogged off. She took a sip of her drink, a little bit worried about Vaas. She finally just dismissed it as him missing her or so long then went back to the party.

"Hey Connor!" she shouted over the loud music to Connor.

"Hey Cupcake!"

"This is a huge party! This guy must have really gotten on your guys' nerves!"

"You have no fucking idea, Shae! He was impossible to tag!"

"HOLY FUCK!" They both turned to see a man shooting someone behind them.

"GET DOWN!" Connor screamed as he pushed Shae's head down along with his.

"WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?!" she screamed to Connor.

"THAT'S FUCKING SNOW WHITE! THAT'S JASON-" Before she he could finish, a huge explosion took them both by surprise.

Shae woke, coughing up large amounts of blood. Her eyes blurry and her hearing not all there, she looked around the entire camp. It was practically deserted except for the tens of bodies sprawled on the ground. She looked next to her.

"Connor?" She shook him furiously, trying to wake him up. He wouldn't. "Connor, don't you fucking do this to me." She reached to his throat and tried to find a pulse. Nothing.

Trying to steady herself, she got up, trying not to let Connor's death bother her. There had to have been a few survivors. One man couldn't have taken down hordes of pirates…right?

"Shae!" She turned around to see a man running towards her. It was another pirate.

"What the fuck happened?" she asked him, trying to hide the panic in her voice.

"We were ambushed by Jason Brody."

"Snow White, the one you thought you tagged?"

"Yes," he replied as she wiped blood away from her lip. "He is involved with the Rakyat, and-"

"Have you seen Vaas?"

"No. Nobody has." Without saying another word, she charged towards the warehouse.

This can't be happening, she said to herself over and over again. This can't FUCKING be happening! She barged into the dark and dank warehouse. She froze in her steps as she finally entered. It was so quiet. She didn't even dare breathe.

"Vaas?"

No answer.

"Vaas? Are you in here?"

No answer. Gathering her wits, she walked in, searching for him as she yelled out her name. Finally, she found a light switch and flipped in on. She squinted at the bright lights and finally let her vision adjust to look around. He eyes fell to something in the middle of the floor. She slowly walked over to it, realizing that it was a body…

Oh god.

"VAAS!" she screamed. She ran over and skidded to her knees, taking him into her lap. "Vaas, don't do this to me!" she yelled as she tried to wake him up. She noticed that he was lying in a pool of blood that poured out from his torso. She ran her hand over his cold body and began to weep. Despite her feeble and desperate attempts to wake him, he did not wake. He was dead. She gently set his head down and shot up from the ground.

"YOU FUCKER!" she screamed to Jason, knowing that he probably was no longer around. "I WILL FUCKING FIND YOU AND I WILL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL WHERE YOU FUCKING BELONG!" She was in hysterics. "I WILL DRIVE A BULLET INTO YOUR SKULL ALONG WITH CITRA!" Still sobbing, she fell to her knees. "He was all I had!" she sobbed into her hands. "He was all I fucking had."

After her breakdown, she sat with his body for a minute, hoping…praying that he would wake up and everything would suddenly go away, yet she knew that it was impossible. He was gone along with everyone else that mattered in her life.

First it was her parents.

Then it was Promise.

Now it was Vaas.

She had nothing.

Nothing but painful memories.

Well there you have it, guys. Vaas is dead. I didn't want to keep him alive like most other fanfictions because I think that some characters were meant to die. (Don't murder me) Their legacies are more impactful and more memorable if they die sometimes. Thanks for reading! Favorite, follow, review, all that good stuff! Stick around, there are still a few more updates to be written!
