Hello :)

One part left.

"I will kill you and then Derek." Maggie said and took a step back. She had a wicked grin on her face as she held the gun high. She was psycho, she had mental problems, and she needed help. Meredith stood against the wall and felt the hot tear run down her cheek.

She wasn't afraid of dead. She had met it a few times before — the bomb, the drowning, the plane crash, giving birth in the storm and almost dying giving birth for the third time. All those times she had escaped death, but maybe this would be the last one.

Meredith was afraid for her children. They would have to grow up without parents if she and Derek got killed. They wouldn't be able to hug her, ask how her day was or just simply say 'I love you'. She wouldn't be able to see them grow up, finish high school and get married. She wouldn't be there to see her grandchildren and her children be happy.

They would have Alex and Amelia, but that wouldn't be the same. They would never be able to replace their mom and dad. Alex and Amelia would do their best to raise them, replace Meredith and Derek so the kids wouldn't feel left alone. Alex, Jo and Amelia would make the best team and Meredith was sure of it.

"Please, Maggie…" Meredith put her hands up and tried to move closer. "You don't want to do this, to have blood on your hands."

"Maybe I do." She put the gun down and aimed to Meredith's chest. "Don't take another step closer or I won't wait a moment longer to kill you. Right now I'm giving you a time to accept your death."

"Maggie, please, I know the feeling of pain and betrayal, I've been there too."

"Don't talk to me, Meredith! I know how this works! You talk and make me regret my decision to kill you. Then you take the gun from my hands and boom — happy ending."

"I have four children, who need they mother." Meredith said. "I don't want to leave them alone. Maggie, please — "

"Stop talking! I WILL KILL YOU, do you understand?" She shouted and Meredith saw fight in her eyes. Maggie was fighting herself. Meredith had seen it before when Gary Clark had tried to kill Derek. She was standing only a few feet away. Derek had managed to convince him to not shot, but April ran in the middle and things changed. Clark shot Derek in her eyes and left him alone to bleed out. She was nearly him and with the help of Cristina, who was near, was able to get him in the OR in time.

"You don't want to go to the jail for murder."

"I AM STILL GOING TO THE JAIL! DON'T YOU SEE? A FEW MORE YEARS WON'T CHANGE IT!" Maggie smiled evil and took a step closer. "This is the end, Meredith. Any last words?"

Meredith thought what to say. She thought and nothing came out. She didn't know what to say. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, falling like a waterfall. She wasn't afraid of death — she told herself.

"As you don't have anything to say… three." Maggie started counting and Meredith closed her eyes. She knew the end was near. This was her end and no one would save her. Luke, her last hope, hadn't come, she was alone. The bullet would soon hit her chest, and she would bleed out on this cold floor. "Two… one…" And then Meredith heard bang.

She was waiting for the pain to overcome her body, but nothing came. She heard someone shouting in pain and falling down. Opening her eyes in fear, she saw Maggie lying on the floor with blood colored jacket. She had been shot in shoulder and groaned in pain, the gun was lying a few feet away from her hands. Looking around she saw Luke learning against the wall with gun in his hands and watching Meredith. He was saying something, but Meredith couldn't make any word out. She was in the shock.

She saw Luke walking towards Maggie, who groaned in pain, and took the gun away. He pressed his hands on her gunshot wound and watched Meredith. She was still standing in the place and watching blood on the floor.

She had survived it. Maggie hadn't killed her, she was going to be alive. Her kids were going to have a mother… and father. Oh, Derek! She had to see him. She wanted to go and see him, she wanted to make sure that he was alright. Meredith wanted to run, but Luke started talking seeing her expression change.

"Meredith, I need your help." She was able to hear him. Meredith turned her head up and watched Luke. "Can you please call someone and say to come here?"

"I… I…" Meredith tried to answer.

"You have to Meredith."

With shaking fingers she took out her phone and called the only person she could think of at that moment.

"Oh my good, Meredith, are you alright?" Alex shouted. She could her panic in his voice and others in the background. "Where are you? There is the shooter in VIP floor, all doors have been blocked from inside. We can't get in. Please say that you aren't there!"

"We… we are here." She managed to say. "And we need a… doctor." She looked at Maggie. "Surgeon."

"Fuck, Meredith! Are you hurt?" Alex asked and Meredith knew he was running. "I will be there in a moment! I need you to open the door."

"I don't know how to." She looked at Luke, who only nodded to the side of nurses station. She moved towards it and saw a red button next to the computer, which was turned on. She pressed it and heard doors opening. Alex ran inside with Owen and Jackson behind him.

"Meredith!" He ran towards her and hugged her hard. Meredith sobbed into his shoulder and put her hands around his waist. Alex tried to calm her down and it worked. She started to calm down. "Are your hurt?" Alex asked, when he moved away from Meredith to examine her. She stopped him by touching his hands.

"I, I am fine, Alex." She looked over her shoulder and saw Luke rising up from the floor. Maggie had been taken away and on the floor was only left her blood. "Luke, are you alright?" She asked and moved around. He had saved her, and she wanted to make sure he was alright.

She went around the station and saw that Luke was covered in the blood. She ran towards him and touched his shoulders. "Are you alright?"

"Is that your blood?" Alex asked. He was standing next to Meredith. "I will need to examine you."

"I am alright, Dr. Karev." He said, but as he took a step he cried in the pain. Alex and Meredith were immediately next to him and supported him. Alex looked at his leg and saw it bleeding. "You have a massive wound. We will need to stitch it up."

"How did you get it?" Meredith asked him and helped Luke to sit down. "We will need to stop the bleeding." She told to Alex and went to her bag, which was lying a few feet away. Her shock had gone away and was replaced with surgeon's mode. She was ready to save his life.

"I don't have anything in my bag." Meredith said after looking in her bag. Then she remembered about supply closet and run towards it. She fastly found a big gauze rolls and pads, bandages, scissors and gloves. She ran back and saw Alex pressing Luke's wound.

"I got everything." She said and sat down. She looked at his blood soaked jeans and fastly put the gloves on. "We will need to cut your jeans."

Luke laughed. "Do what you need. I need my leg."

Meredith cut his jeans and gasped. Alec had taken off his hands from the wound. There was long wound on his thigh, someone had cut him. "How did you get it?"

"She cut me with the knife when I pressed down her wound. That was when doctors came in."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Alex helped Meredith to close the wound. They won't be able to stitch it here, it was too big.

"I had to make sure that Maggie was taken away." He cried in pain and Meredith pressed gauze pads on his wound. Alex started rolling around gauze and Meredith took her hand away only to press three gauze rolls on the wound so it wouldn't bleed.

"Will you be able to walk?" Alex helped Luke to get up. Meredith took her bad in other hand and helped to steady Luke. He was crying in pain.

"I will try." He said, and they slowly made their way to the elevator. They didn't want to risk to take the stairs. "I hope it will work."

"I asked Owen to turn it on." Alex answered and the doors opened, and they were met by Bailey and Chief.

"Are you alright?" Bailey asked Meredith. She stood next to her and helped them to get Luke inside. As the elevator started going down, Meredith answered.

"Yes, we need to help Luke. He has been wounded and needs more than ten stitches."

"Who did it?" Chief asked. Meredith didn't want to give him pain by saying that it was his daughter, but there was no other choice. She had tried to kill Derek, Meredith and had wounded Luke. She will be spending a lot of time in jail. As understanding it all, Chief answered and put a hand on Meredith's shoulder. "I'm sorry for the pain she caused."

"It's not your place to apologize." Meredith answered and looked at him. "I know it's hard for you, but — "

"Meredith, we will talk later." He said and squeezed her shoulder. The doors of elevator opened and they were met by the emply hallway of hospital.
