Chapter 6
Spiro's ship flew across the sky, occasionally swerving through the tall buildings. Her eyes were cold and teary, utter hatred filling her to the brim. She was going to kill Julia for all she'd done to her in the past and even now. It probably would not bring Spike to her, but she didn't care anymore. All that mattered right now was that Julia would die. She then landed outside a dark building in the center of a city then calmly walked inside. Spiro walked up the stairs, her feet and arms feeling heavy. Turning down a hall, she found the right room. Pulling out her gun, she kicked open the door and fired blindingly into the room, tearing up the inside. When she stopped, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Hello, Spiro."
"Julia."
Julia smiled a sad smile then too pulled a gun from her jacket pocket.
"He called to warn me you know. Spike."
Spiro tightened the grip on her gun, her blood boiling more by the second.
"He loves me, Spiro. Nothing you do can change his mind."
"I'm not aiming to change his mind. I'm here to end the heartache I'd felt because of you and your conniving ways. Everyone who's known you dies."
Spiro fired a couple rounds, but Julia dodged them with ease.
"I see you've been practicing."
Julia gave smirk then fired at Spiro, clipping her across the cheek.
"We will end this now! You will die!"
Spiro then charged Julia, giving a high kick to the side of the head. Julia retaliated by tripping Spiro and punching her in the stomach. The two fought furiously, having slowly made their way out of the room and out into the hall and all over the building. The finally ended up in the lobby. Julia and Spiro were in a stare off, waiting for the other to make their move. Julia laughed a little to herself, covering her mouth.
"What's so funny?"
Spiro growled, slowly reaching in her pocket without Julia noticing.
"You should see your face right now; full of fright and worry. It's unbearable."
Just then, the front door to the building burst open and Spike appeared in the doorway.
"Spike…"
Spiro whispered in disbelief, taking her eyes off Julia. Julia then took the opportunity to pull out her gun and fire round after round at Spiro. Spike watched in disbelief as Spiro's body became hole ridden and bloody, until falling for the ground.
"Spiro!"
Spike ran to her side. Spiro slowly got up into a kneeling position, clutching her bleeding chest and stomach. A black limo then pulled up in front of the building outside. The door opened to reveal Vicious inside. Julia gave a cold smile, before turning and heading out the door to the limo. Spike looked down at Spiro, feeling a wave of guilt overwhelm him.
"Spiro. I'm sorry."
Spiro turned a gaze to Spike with a faint smile across her lips, which seemed to say she forgave him. Struggling greatly, Spiro stood up and made her way towards the front door.
"Spiro!"
Spike called after her, but she kept walking. When she got out, the limo door closed and the engine revved. Spiro stood in the middle of the street, reaching into her pocket and pulling out her gun. She opened it up, seeing her only had three bullets left. Closing it up, Spiro watched as the car began to drive away. Raising the gun, Spiro took aim at the back of the limo. Then Spiro fired, hitting Julia, Vicious, and the driver in the back of the head with her last remaining bullets. The limo skidded off the road and crashed into the side of a building. Spike ran out, staring in awe at Spiro. Spiro let her gun fall from her hands, her hand still raised. She formed her hand into the shape of a crude gun then muttered something in half a whisper.
"Boom."
Spiro then fell backwards and hit the ground, staring up into the smoggy dark blue sky. Spike ran over, kneeling beside her and bringing her up onto his lap.
"Spiro!"
He shook her, desperately hoping she'd wake up. Spiro turned her head slightly to look at Spike, smiling weakly.
"It's over. It's finally over."
She whispered.
"Don't talk! Try to save your energy! You're going to live! You hear me?"
Spike looked angrily down at the woman in his arms. It slowly began to rain, as faint tears formed in Spike's eyes.
"Don't cry over me. I'll never leave you as long as you remember."
Spiro slowly reached up and put her slender hand to Spike's chest, near his heart. Spike bent down, bringing Spiro's face close to his.
"I love you."
He whispered as he softly kissing her cold, faded pink lips.
"I– love– you, Spike."
Spiro murmured softly, as her eyes slowly closed and her hand upon him fell limp. She was gone.
