~ROSE POV~

"Rose, are you sure?" Lissa asked when we got closer to the place we'd once considered home. I put my hands in my pocket and felt the cold metal of my gun. This was one of the stupider things Lissa and I would do in our lives and I couldn't help but hope that we would have more stupid things to do.

I'd never really cared about living or dying or even those around me dying. Now, knowing that I carried someone else's life inside of me, I couldn't help but want to fight to do anything I could to make sure that this child would have the chance to live. I thought of everyone I had to lose and found the strength to walk forward to the prison. It was quiet and I knew that this definitely wasn't a good sign.

Lissa noticed the silence too and pulled her gun from her jacket, putting in plain sight. It was an assassin's way of saying that they were unafraid of whatever they were about to face. Lissa's entire reason for living was in this building while my own was outside of the walls in an old abandoned building.

We walked through the doors of the prison and the moment we walked through the doors, it closed behind us. We heard the bolts lock and we both knew that there was no turning back now. I felt my stomach do a backflip but ignored this response.

"Lissa!" We heard Rhea call all and we both turned in the direction of the voice. We faced Rhea, holding Eric as he bled from what looked like a bullet wound to the side. Nothing that would kill him, but enough that it would slow him down and cause pain.

Lissa gave me a pleading expression and I could tell that she didn't know what to do. She wanted Robert's blood on her hands but she wanted to go to her family as well. I knew what needed to be done but due to my pregnancy, I could feel the fear building inside of me. I pushed it beneath the surface and let my emotions disappear.

"Get as many people as you can out of here. I'm going after Robert myself." I told her and her eyes widened.

She was about to say something when Mia rushed over to us. "Robert doesn't have any guards. He says he's going to take care of you himself and doesn't want an audience watching. We have time to get everyone out of here but we have to do it fast."

Lissa looked at me with unshed tears before nodding her head and going towards her father while I made my way to where I knew Robert would be. It was time to end this and it was time for there to be a future in our friends and families lives. This was it, regardless if I lived or died.

I walked into the old room where me and my father had trained and later to where Robert and I would train. I walked in to see him standing against the wall with his gun pointed at the floor. He didn't look up when he saw me, he knew who it was. It was the only person who would risk everything to face him now.

"Of all the people I would think would have turned their back on me, you were the last person I would have expected." He said and there was a hint of hurt in his voice that was echoed by amusement.

I spoke plain and emotionless when I said "You tore this organization apart. We are supposed to go after people to make the world safer, not for a fucking paycheck."

"Rosemarie, you don't understand. I didn't do it for the paycheck. I did it for the thrill of the kill and, regardless of your father's death or your lover, or even his little girl, you did this for the same damn reason."

I took a deep breath and kept my eyes trained on his. "The only joy I've ever felt from a kill was when I killed your brother and the moment I put this bullet in your black heart."

He lunged at me then, knocking both of us to the ground. I felt his arms go around my neck and I could hear the anger in his voice as he said "You traitorous bitch. You can't even admit the truth in death."

I reached up and fought the urge to pry his hands from my neck, instead I dug my nails anywhere on his face that I could, feeling his blood run down my fingers. He moved his hands from my throat long enough for me to kick him in his stomach and roll him off of me. I reached for my gun and felt that it was gone but when I looked to see where it was, the bastard had grabbed my leg and knocked me onto the floor. I it my head and immediately felt fear race through me for my unborn child. On instinct, I'd covered my stomach with my hands and Robert noticed this.

"That explains the cold expression and why you wanted to save him so bad. You're pregnant with his bastard child." Robert laughed humorlessly.

I stood up from the ground and growled "What right do you have to call anyone a bastard?"

He lunged again and I moved out of the way in time but made the mistake of not seeing my gun. He grabbed it from where he'd lunged and I knew that this was it. I saw my father's gun in his hand and felt like if there was a way to pick how I died, gunshot would have been my first option. I backed up and watched as Robert pulled his own gun from his pocket, realizing he must have put it in there when he'd lunged at me.

"Don't worry, Rosemarie." He said and I gave him a cold expression. I smiled at the cuts I could now see that I'd left on his face. Blood poured down his cheek and neck, past his satisfied smile. "I'll be sure to bury you wit it."

I closed my eyes and heard the sound of a bullet flying from the barrel of a gun. What I didn't feel, was the pain of it making impact. I opened my eyes and saw Robert clutching his heart. I watched as he fell to the ground, drawing his last breath, and revealing Lissa.

"That was for my brother, you piece of shit. You can't take anything from anyone any more." She said and I watched as a few tears slid down her face.

I smiled and said "You saved my life again, Lis."

"That's the fourth time." She said and I laughed outright this time.

I walked over and waited till I was standing in front of her. "I guess I should say that you saved our lives. How's your dad?"

"Safe." She said and I smiled in relief. We both looked back at Robert's dead body and I couldn't quite grasp the fact that it was all over. This was it, we were finally free.

I looked away from Robert's body and said "Let's go home."

"Sounds perfect."

***Robert is dead. It's almost over everyone. I hope it wasn't a disappointment but the story is not over yet. R&R and let me know what you think. I also wanted to give a great big thank you for the reviews on the last chapter. I hope to update soon. Thank you for reading and stay with me.
