I live on reviews and they dig me out of my writer's block.
I woke up cold; there was a breeze all around my legs and arms. I couldn't open my eyes, they felt heavy and my limbs wouldn't move either. All I could feel was cold and I heard quiet voices by me.
"When is she going to wake up?" a woman's voice asked impatiently.
"Soon, the shot that I gave her should wear off any minute now." Another voice said and I recognized it as the man in the museum. There was something about that voice that made me just want to relax. There was something about that voice.
"Well can't you just give her another shot to wake her up? I don't have much time you know." The woman's voice said again
"In time Irena, in time, and when she does wake up she shouldn't be able to feel a thing. I was surprised at how weak Sydney Bristow is." That voice. Where had I heard that voice?
"My daughter is not weak Mr. Vaughn. She just didn't kick your bony ass because she must have recognized you. There was a pause. My mother and someone named Mr. Vaughn. Vaughn. Could it really be him? I groaned as a shot of pain ran up my back.
"Is she awake?" Irena, my mother, asked.
"It think so." Said Vaughn. I heard footsteps coming towards me and then a cool hand on my forehead.
"Sydney, Sydney are you awake?" Said Irena I groaned and forced my eyelids up. There she was, my mother, just as she had been in Taipei, black hair draping around her shoulders, eyes hard and full of an evil spark. Oh, how I despised those eyes. Even as a child, I could never look directly into her eyes. There was something in them that hinted of an evil that no mother should have.
Then I felt a slap across my face. She had slapped me.
"Bitch! You %^&*ing Bitch!" I spat in her eye and she walked out of the room. Leaving me to Vaughn. He stood in his place for a moment and then came slowly toward me.
I was ready to spit at him to but there was something in his eyes, something that my mother didn't have. Something that no person that worked for my mother had. Kindness and compassion.
"Syd, I am so sorry. I can explain everything." Vaughn said and he put his hand on my head too. I jerked my neck, and his hand fell to his side.
"V-v-Vaughn?" I stuttered and he smiled. "Why did you do this, why are you working for that-that Bitch?" I asked and he tensed. I had struck a nerve.
"Syd, when we were in Taipei and I almost drowned, they drained the room and extracted me. I was brought to a room and that's where I saw blood and a broken chair in the corner. I knew that it was your doing. I knew that it was your blood." I stopped him.
"Why the hell didn't you come after me after you got free? Why the hell are you working for her?" I didn't understand and a wave of rage came over me. Rage for my mother, rage for Vaughn's betrayal, rage for my weakness."
"Sydney let me finish. When I saw your blood, I knew that your mother had hurt you. I was so angry. Then she came in. She came into the room and told me that unless I joined her that she would torture you. I couldn't do that to you Syd. I couldn't let you get hurt. Therefore, I joined her. I feel so angry with myself but I didn't know until tonight that there was any of seeing you again. And then when I saw you in the museum. When I saw you there, I almost ran and hugged you. Your mother knew about your mission and she knew that you would be drawn to me so she sent me. She said that if I cooperated then she wouldn't hurt you." With these last words, he took my hand and grasped it. I couldn't tell if he was lying or not, but it felt good to have him here.
"I still don't understand. Why didn't you just warn me to run, why didn't you come with me Vaughn? Oh, everybody thinks your dead and I just." I stopped because my mother had walked in, face cleaned and a smirk playing across her lips.
"Sydney, join me. Join me and you can be free. We will bring down SD-6 and the Alliance. We will have our own Alliance. Arvin Sloan will pay for what he did to you. Join me Sydney and you and Michael can be together, together with no fear. The opportunities are endless Sydney." With these last words, she smiled at me. The kind of smile that she gave me when she convinced me to be on her side of the pillow fights that she, my dad, and I used to have.
What she didn't know is that I had regained the full use of my limbs in this time. I could feel the energy coursing through my veins and I tensed. All of a sudden, I sprung at her kicking her sideways. She recovered and threw a punch at me, hitting my cheek. Then I ran. I didn't know where I was going but I ran. People, things, another Circumference, they all were a blur as I ran through that building. Then I saw it, the door to the outside. However, someone ran in front of it. Someone with dirty blonde hair and emerald eyes. I ran straight into his arms, kicking and scratching to get away. Then he gave in. We stood there for a moment, looking into each other's eyes and he grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door. We were on a high balcony, overlooking the water. I tightened my grasp on his hand and we jumped. The wind tore at my hair and clothes. Then we hit the water, full force. The impact hit me like a battering ram. Then I knew that I was drowning.
I could see Vaughn, up at the surface. He was swimming around; I hoped he was looking for me. I couldn't be sure. I couldn't move my legs or arms and I was sinking fast. Water filled my lungs and I blacked out. The last thing I saw was him.
TBC.I know this is a little corny but hey, it will get better I hope. And remember, no reviews, no new chapters. I don't like to leave you guys hanging but if I don't get any reviews then I cant bring myself to put another chapter up. Hehehe
