Amie began reaching out blindly. In his hurry to chain her up he had brought her right next to some of his instruments. She grabbed the first thing that came to her hand. The noticed what it was! Lets see how he likes this! She thought evilly. Pressed the electric rod to his leg. He released her hair and screamed in shock. She moved and then pressed it to his chest hard. Felt pleasure run through her as she seen his face contort. Electricity ran through his body. Felt joy inside at his pain filled screams. She dropped the rod in shook as she recognised the feeling coursing through her. A small part inside was telling her to chain him up, and pull his teeth out. And hit him, beat him savagly. Have him begging for mercy. Begging to be killed to be released from the pain.

THIS WASN'T HER!

Rashid saw her distraction and lunged for the electric rod. She couldn't waste a second. She grabbed her gun. Turned wildly and fired at the sound. Rashid fell to the floor unmoving. Blood was visible below his shoulder. Her hands shook. Her whole body followed suit. She couldn't take it anymore! How many people was she gonna have to kil…

'Amie!" a voice told her sternly. 'Get out of here!'

The voice snapped her out of it. "Tom?" she asked. Saw him lying out of it on the floor. No it hadn't been Tom. It was woman's voice anyway. An unfamiliar voice. Although it felt like it should be familiar. Anyway this figment of her imagination she was grateful for. It was helping keep her sane.

She collected her knife. Put her gun away and picked Tom up from the floor. Walked through the various doors in the fortress. She was looking for an exit. Every room she walked into just offered her more stairs or doors. They had windows but at the moment they were actually underground. She climbed more and more stairs and walked into a room weakly. If they didn't find an exit soon then they were screwed! She pulled him tiredly into a room and saw it had multicoloured windows. She hurried over. Rested Tom of the floor and broke it. Looked out. Right they had a little way to fall but they would be fine.

"Sorry Tom!" she whispered as she pushed him through the window. She then jumped through herself. Making sure she aimed in the opposite direction to where Tom lay.

They walked trough the jungle. It was raining and the ground was slick with mud and moss. She knew where to go. She hadn't lied to Tom. She knew where to head to get off this God forsaken island. She had done her homework extensively. There is an airport not far from the fortress where supplies are brought in and out of the island. It was also an escape route for Rashid. She just hoped there was a plane there she could hijack! She didn't want to have to wait for one. She was scared if she stopped moving she may not get started again. BUT first she had a major problem. She had to find a way to get down the hill.

"Tom mate!" she jostled him as she asked. "Please you gotta wake up!" she pleaded.

No reply. she wondered if the guards had did the same to him as they did to her…..possibly worse. BASTARDS!

She finally gave up trying to wake him up after nearly 50 tries not that she counted. She pulled and heaved. C'mon! she had to find the way to the plane soon. She couldn't keep going forever! She was running on sheer willpower. Her stubborn nature the only thing from keeping her collapsing altogether. She refused to let them beat her! That thought spurred her on a little. Found a little bit more strength.

'That's it Amie. My stubborn Amie. You can do anything!'

Whoever that voice was in her head encouraging her she was grateful for it. Encouragement always made her work harder. Made her even more determined not to give up. If she gave up now she was letting someone…or something down. She could….. Heard a noise behind her and looked back. The ground suddenly disappeared beneath her feet. Unbeknownst to her she had just walked her and Tom off a muddy ledge. She slid down a steep cliff face.

She hit the cliff with a thump and felt herself sliding down quickly. She rolled and made her self as small as possible and sped past Tom then rolled so she was protecting him as much as possible. She parted the bushes. She was scratched to hell. He was too but to a lesser extent. The slick mud made her gather even more speed. Saw the hard unforgiving ground rushing towards her. Said a silent prayer. Thought quickly of the things she wished she hadn't said or done. Involving her dad and Lexi. Especially her dad. This was gonna kill him….after it killed her! She thought morosely. She was gonna hit the ground in moments. Could almost feel the impact jarring her already battered body. This was gonna hurt at the speed she was going. You chose this Amie. You wanted excitement and adventure. But you didn't think about getting caught and hurt did…..she hit the ground with a thud.

(X)

Amie hit the ground with a bone jarring thump. Tom followed and landed on her. All the air left her body. She was badly winded. She somehow found the strength to push Tom off her and lay in the mud panting. Trying so hard to catch her breath….She couldn't. Calm deep breaths. Slowly Amie! She told herself. Her training kicking in. she finally slowed her breathing to normal and she couldn't move. She was wiped out. She blinked exhaustion coming to take her.

'Amie get up!'

She ignored the voice.

'Amie your not a quitter!'

"I can't!" she said weakly. Tears in her eyes and voice.

The voice yelled and coaxed and even resorted to goading her but she just lay there. In more pain then she had ever experienced in her life. She prayed for unconsciousness to take her. Felt a warmth beginning to surround her and smiled. Felt the pain beginning to melt into obscurity.

'Your mum and dad!' the voice yelled.

Her eyes opened and the burning pain returned. "I was almost there! Leave me alone!" Amie yelled angrily.

'I refuse to let you die in a godforsaken jungle Amie!'

"It has nothing to do with you. Your just some voice in my head!" she fumed out loud.

'What would Missy think of you? Letting yourself be beaten in this way by these people? She has been through so much and she has never let it hold her down. She still goes for the throat! I expected more from you and so does she! Giving up straight away? She would be pissed at you!'

Amie exhaled. This voice was right! Missy wouldn't just lie here and give up. If she wanted to be Missy's daughter than she had to prove she was like her in every way!

'That's the spirit! You can do it!'

She pulled herself onto her knees and cried out in pain. Tears fell but she forced them away angrily. No tears. Tears are weak and your tough! I won't allow you to cry! She told herself. She wouldn't allow herself any weaknesses. She reached up and grasped a tree branch. Used it to pull herself to standing. She leaned against it letting the sickness and vertigo pass.

"I'm insane. Listening and talking to a voice in my head!" she muttered.

'I'm here to help!' the voice promised.

"Who are you?" Amie asked.

'I've watched over you a long time Amie.'

Was she her mother? No! that sorta stuff doesn't happen. Her mother was dead and had been for years. She couldn't even remember her voice so how could she hear it? This was some pain filled delusion on her side. WHEN she got home she was gonna ask Ethan about side effects of severe trauma.

She bent over and somehow pulled Toms arm over her shoulder.

"It's a good thing I like you mate. And that I'm loyal! And I refuse to leave a man behind or you sir would be screwed!"

She dragged herself through this jungle. Having no idea if she was going in the right direction.

'Don't worry you are!' the voice assured. 'Your doing so well. Missy will be proud of you!'

Amie focused. One foot in front of the other. One then the other. All her concentration was focused. An explosion ripped through the air.

"You gotta move faster Amie!'

Amie couldn't move any faster. "I'm doing my best here! After what I've been through I'm lucky to be alive! SO DON'T PUSH ME!" Amie emotions were on a hair trigger. It was anger or hysterical sadness. She chose anger.

'The rebels are attacking the fortress. Rashid is heading for the plane!'

"But I shot him!" Damn why was everything going wrong! She somehow managed to speed up. It was funny how your body could do things if the need arose. She kept up the brisk pace for 10 minutes. It felt like 10 days. Every step felt like a mile. The sweat poured off her. She was sure she was gonna collapse when she saw a break in the trees. Saw a Cessna plane. YES! She could fly that!

"C'mon Tom. I'm taking you home!" she heaved him across the tarmac and up the stairs that were already open on the plane. She pulled the door open. Pellets began to shower over her. It was Rashid! She pushed Tom inside and used the door for cover.

Bullets ricocheted off the door with a ping. She checked her gun. She only had 4 rounds. She peeked her head out for a second to scan the area. She saw how many enemies she had shut the door. Dragged Tom to safety behind some seats. Went to a window to play shoot the terrorist! As two approached she inched the barrel out of the window and shot them both dead. She missed Rashid running up the stairs.

The door flew open she pointed her gun but he pushed it out of the way quickly and dived on her. He had been shot what the hell was he doing up?

'Ribs' her voice warned.

She protected herself.

'Jaw.'

She swung her head out of the way just in time.

She kneed him in the stomach and was rewarded when he grunted. She rolled so she was above him. Head butted his face.

'Hair!'

Amie didn't move in time and he grabbed her head. Pulled it towards him and hit it roughly on the floor beside him. Then used his knee to propel her over his head. Amie lay dazed.

'…..fe…..use the….kn…..' Amie blacked out and only caught snatches.

"C'mon baby girl. You've came so far. Don't give up now!'

Amie missed that one completely.

Rashid put his hands around her beck and squeezed. Amie didn't have the strength to fight him off. The back of her throat began to tingle and she had the weirdest feeling of de ja vu. It seemed she was gonna be beaten. She couldn't believe it!

A/N is this the end of amie? is her pain finally over or will it continue some more? keep reading x
