Chapter 3 of my first Alias fan fic. What do you think so far?
Sydney was beginning to launch into a full on fight with Will. She was mad, and angry. Not entirely at him, just the whole events of the night seemed to suddenly come back and haunt her. Her mother.. Vaughn.. She looked at Vaughn. He was there, that was okay. But Will? The anger boiled inside her.
"Will!" she screamed, she hit her fist against her knee.
Vaughn wrapped his arms around Sydney and told her to go easy. Will just sat there in shock. She'd yelled at him. Like he was the bad guy. Like he was the secret agent who constantly told lies, killed people... She was the freakin' reason he had been tortured!
"Look at me Sydney, look at me now!" he pointed to his bloodied up face.
Vaughn told her to calm down, and was running his fingers through her hair. Personally, he was angry at Will aswell. He didn't know why, but he was just getting awfully possessive of Sydney aswell. If she was angry at him, so was he. He would protect her. Sydney was like a drug to him. Something he knew he had to have now, and just thinking about not having her, made him sick. Geez, the thought of drowning had certainly changed his view on life! He could easily say "Damn protocol!" now.
Sydney's bitter tears dribbled down her cheeks. She wasn't really mad at Will, was she? No, it had to have been a phase. It had to be. She couldnt be mad at Will for long, she never had been before. He had been a buddy for ages and I'm sure he was only like this because of what he'd been through today.
Sydney's approach changed. "Will.. I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have yelled. I know what it must have been like today." She managed a truce smile.
Will looked at her and attempted his best smile. Three of his visible teeth were missing.
"So you had a run in with the Asian dentist did you?" Sydney half-heartedly laughed. "He's the worst, isn't he?"
Will's ears burned. He was so selfish. What had he been thinking? She had been through much more than him. Who knows how many times she'd had run ins with mad asian dentists or hair pulling monkeys? The monkey bit made him laugh.
Sydney turned back to Vaughn. "You're awfully quiet" she whispered to him, fingering his leather jacket, which was still soaked.
"Yeah," Vaughn said, he lied. "Just listening. Glad you guys made up."
The truth was he was thinking about what would happen after this. SD-6 would kill Sydney and him, and probably Jack if they found out their involvement. Her dating a CIA agent would surely lead to him finding out she was a double. If only SD-6 was taken down, now, then they'd be free. What was that other word? Normal? They could be a normal couple.
"Fights are always like that, with me that is. One minute we'll be at each other's throats, and next minute we're normal."
Sydney took in her own words. Normal? That word again. Normal towards each other maybe, but not a normal life. Oh never a normal life for Sydney Bristow.
With that, she rested on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Jack glanced through the rear vision mirror and sighed. This would probably be the last those two would see of each other, if he had anything to do with it.
'Im doing this for her safety,' he said to himself
'But what about her happiness?' another part of him said.
What about happiness?
