Hey Guys
So I thought I'd update again quickly by your request but also because I am now working night shifts so I'm sleeping most of the day and working at night but I get a chance to write on weekends and the occasional hour or two before I have to work so if I dont update in a little bit then you know why and I apologise in advance.
Also you are all nearly caught up to me as well, I'm just writing Chpater 40 now, and my guess right now is that this story will have around 44 or 45 chapters so you are all now in the final ten chapters of the story :(
Please forgive me again but I'll make it up to you with this chapter because Beca gets some revenge for Chloe's sake, just like she promised. I told you, Beca/Azrael always keeps her promises.

Now let's get this chapter on the way!
Beca puts her mask back on and pulls out her weapon as she heads inside. Gabriel runs past and spies Beca.
"Anything on the Rogues?" He asks and Beca shakes her head.
"No sir." Beca says in her deepest voice, the mask making her voice almost unrecognisable. Gabriel nods before pointing down the back hallway.
"Come with me to the living quarters, it's the last place to search. Michael wants these Rogues taken out." Gabriel asks and Beca nods, bowing then following Gabriel.
"You and you. Check this row. You and I will check the next. Clear the room together. Watch each other's backs." Gabriel orders and the assassins all split up, Gabriel and Beca heading to the next hallway. They arrive at a door and Gabriel kicks it in, bringing out his weapon, Beca follows him in, her weapon drawn also. As they search the room, Gabriel turns to her and says there is no one so they move to the next room down. Beca felt good working with Gabriel again, they hadn't done anything together in a long time but she knew what had to be done, she knew the hierarchy had to die, all of them. As they make it to the fourth room, Gabriel enters first as usual followed by Beca but as he turns to tell her everything is clear, she shoves her sword into his chest. Beca watches as Gabriel's face turns to shock, he starts to choke on the blood rising in his throat.
"You." He manages to get out before falling to the floor in Beca's arms. Beca takes off her mask and Gabriel smirks.
"I knew it was you Azrael. I know your way and we blended together as we always did." Gabriel comments and Beca winces at the thought that Gabriel knew he was searching for the rogues with her. She puts her hand on his cheek, tears welling in her eyes.
"'ana asif ya 'akhay. 'ana asif ldhlk kul. (I'm sorry my brother. I'm so sorry Cole.)" Beca cries and Gabriel shakes his head.
"Don't cry my sister. We will… see each other again. Do not apologise for you did… what I couldn't do. You took my life. I couldn't…stand the killing anymore either." Gabriel chokes on some of his blood and it makes Beca's heart break even more. Gabriel painfully brings his hand up to Beca's cheek.
"Chloe is a beautiful girl. Once you are done here, go be with her. Go really live your life Beca." He adds and it brings more tears to Beca's eyes, she leans down and kisses Gabriel on his left temple.
"I love you my brother." Beca whispers and it brings a smile to Gabriel's lips.
"I love…you too." Gabriel manages to say with his final breath, when Beca looks up, she sees that he is gone. She reaches up and closes his eyes, placing a hand on his chest and bowing her head. She closes her eyes as she speaks.
"Asmahuu 'akhi lidukhul madinat alnnawr. yrja raffah lah min jmye aldhdhunub wa'iismahuu li 'an 'aghtanim bitashghiliha. la tade lah tahtariq fi nar alhukm. (Please allow my brother to enter the city of light. Please unburden him of all sins and allow me to take them on. Do not let him burn in the fires of judgement.)" She prays before kissing his cheek one final time.
"May we meet again." She adds before standing up and putting her mask back on. Her heart torn in two as she steps away from her brother. The two other assassins, Jeremiel and Ophiel round the corner as Beca exits the room.
"Gabriel is dead, the rogues are targeting hierarchy, two of them went that way." Beca says with sadness as she points down the hallway, the two assassins notice she is holding her ribs and they take off down the hallway. As Beca leaves their sight, she pulls out one of her throwing knives, splits it in half and throws them, each of the knives hitting the assassins in the back of the head, they both fall. Beca moves over and grabs her knives, ripping them out of the backs of the two dead assassin's heads, quickly wiping them clean and moving on.
Beca makes her way through the hallways of the League, knowing by memory where to go. She knew that Uriel and Raphael would be with Michael in his quarters which meant Puriel and Zaapiel were around somewhere, Chloe's parent's killers were around and she was going to find them, she was going to kill them. Beca stops for a second and allows her heartbreak for Gabriel to heal hastily as she closes her eyes. She lets in and unleashes her anger, her inner darkness, her inner monster, Azrael to surface. She shuts off her emotions again but instead of aiming that at targets the League requests, she aims it all at the League. She feels like screaming out in anger but she doesn't want to blow her cover.
"Michael would need guards outside the door. Those he trusts, Zaapiel and Puriel." Azrael growls as she takes off, heading toward Michael's quarters. As she runs, she checks her knife belt and finds she only has enough to kill 12 assassins so she decides to try and stay more out of sight and only kill unless needed and take the fallen assassin's weapons as she passes, just as she says that she runs into a group of four, she knew all of them, she trained and named all of them. Their names were, Sidriel, Gadreel, Orion and Verin. She ducks down behind the wall and listens to their conversation.
"Gabriel is dead, damn these rogues! Where are they?" Sidriel says and Azrael takes e opportunity to stand up and move out from behind the wall to reveal herself.
"Right here." She says, pulling her swords out of her sheaths. The assassins all pull out their swords, confused as to who the rogue was, little did they know it was their trainer. Sidriel and Gadreel run at Azrael and the rogue pulls up her sword, taking the hit of Sidriel's blade and turns, letting her blade swing out and slice through Gadreel's stomach, the assassin falling to the ground. Azrael turns as Sidriel looks down at Gadreel bleeding out on the floor.
"You killed my brother!" Sidriel calls out as he runs at his opponent. Azrael smirks at Sidriel's rage and uses it to her advantage. She twists her wrist that is holding her sword slightly, ready to take the impact again but allows one of her knives hiding in her sleeve to slide into her hand. Sidriel strikes at Azrael but she blocks it, spinning around and using her other hand to thrust the hidden knife into Sidriel's chest. She turns to the last two assassins and puts her sword away. Orion and Verin watch as the Azrael holsters weapon.
"Who are you?" Verin asks and Azrael removes her mask. Both Verin and Orion take out their swords at the sight of their former teacher.
"You. But you were our mentor, our teacher." Orion says and Azrael shrugs.
"The League lied to me. They lied to all of us so now I'm going to burn it to the ground. You can either be with me or against me." Azrael replies and the two young assassins look to each other before tightening their grip on their swords.
"Thought not." Azrael confirms before standing up straight. Verin and Orion run at Azrael, their blades held ready. Azrael hastily reaches for one of her throwing knives, splits it and throws it toward the two attackers, both knives hit them in the centre of the chest and they both fall to the ground. Azrael reaches down and picks up the two knives, wiping them clean, putting them back together and moves on. In her mind, she goes over all of the still remaining assassins, figuring out there is only 32 left.
The van full of the Bellas arrive back at the League's hideout and Chloe moves to the back of the van and open the weapons seat, taking out the 9mm and loading it, she keeps the safety on as she adds the silencer attachment to the end. She takes the extra magazines and puts them in her back pockets. Aubrey opens the sliding door as Chloe makes her way back to the front, she turns to the Bellas.
"You guys stay here. I'm going to go in and get Beca then we'll get out of here and get back to Atlanta." Chloe says with a smile as she puts her pistol in the back of her jeans and gets out of the van. Aubrey leans out and gives her best friend a hug.
"Be careful, they are out looking for Beca, please don't take too long." Aubrey whispers into Chloe's ear and the redhead smiles, hugging Aubrey tighter. Chloe knew that she would have to be fast before she got caught.
"I will, in and out. No Bella gets left behind. If any trouble comes, I left the rifle in the back. I'm sure Fat Amy would know how to use it." Chloe jokes as she pulls away and Aubrey chuckles, shrugging at the same time.
"Yeah probably, that girl has more qualifications then a 70 year old. I love you." Aubrey says and Chloe gazes into Aubrey's eyes.
"I love you too." Chloe replies with a smile before heading into the base. She steps inside, not even noticing how scared she was or how her hands shook like they were on vibrate. She spies an assassin dead on the ground and figures Beca was making her way around. Chloe goes to leave when she comes up with an idea, she pulls the body into a side room and takes the assassin's clothes off and getting the League outfit on, trying to remember how Beca spoke to the other members of the League and had to try do the same. She places the weapons in their holsters including a sword and some throwing knives, they didn't split in half like Beca's, she must have made them to do that herself. Chloe exits the room looking like an assassin which made her feel uncomfortable but so long as she didn't have to kill anyone then she would be okay with that, her plan was to find Beca and get the hell out of this place.
Azrael had finally made it to Michael's chamber, she had to rid of five more assassins on the way which left 27 more to go, she uses her sense from a distance and as expected, Puriel and Zaapiel were guarding the door and Raphael, Uriel and Michael were inside. She makes sure her mask is on properly before pulling out a knife and taking two deep breaths before pushing it into her shoulder, not feeling the pain seeing as she had shut herself away. Blood starts to run down her arm and chest as she sheaths the knife and puts her hand to her wound, running around the corner toward Zaapiel and Puriel.
"They're coming. They are wiping us all out, there's bodies everywhere." Azrael says in a deep, worried voice. Puriel and Zaapiel take out their swords and run past her to get around the corner. Azrael pulls out one of her last two smoke bombs around the corner, it goes off right behind them, creating a cloud of smoke all around them. Azrael pulls out her sword and runs at them, her rage not getting the better of her but still showing, she was about to get vengeance for Chloe and her parents or she was going to die trying. She runs into the smoke, using her sense to feel for her opponents and knowing they will do the same. She feels an attacker approaching from behind her and turns to defend the sword swing aiming for her throat.
"So you are the rogue? Or at least one of them." Zaapiel says with confidence. Azrael holds her sword up as the smoke starts to clear. She feels the two assassins circling her and patiently waits for one of them to attack. Puriel makes the first move, attempting to strike but Azrael blocks it before turning to block the other attack from Zaapiel, kicking Puriel in the face and knocking her out at the same time.
"You're good." Zaapiel says and Azrael pulls out her other blade, circling around until she reaches Puriel unconscious on the ground. She changes her grip on her sword and thrusts it down into Puriel's throat while Zaapiel watches. Azrael feels Zaapiel's rage as he watches his close friend and sister in arms get murdered.
"You bitch!" He yells as he runs at Azrael, the rogue pulling her sword up to take the hit and turns, dodging the second swing, she moves her second sword and it slices Zaapiel's stomach and he stumbles backward. Azrael watches as he falls to his knees. Azrael walks up to Zaapiel and rips off her mask.
"You." He questions and Azrael brings her sword up above her head.
"You killed Chloe's parents." Azrael says before bring her sword down deep into Zaapiel's collarbone, between the neck and shoulder. Azrael watches as Zaapiel chokes on his own blood, relieved that Chloe's parent's killers are dead, she is so relieved that she doesn't sense Zaapiel piercing his sword into the bottom of Beca's ribs. Beca inhales deeply with difficult, stepping back as Zaapiel takes his last breath. She looks down at the wound, bleeding profusely.
"Shit." She comments as she sheaths her swords and heads toward Michael's chamber.
Hehehehehe Beca did it, she killed Chloe's parent's murderers! But she is also in trouble, well if you class all the car accident injuries and now this one trouble, she has a little more torture to go both physically and emotionally but don't worry guys, in 2, that's right, just 2 chapters, you will all get the biggest shock in the story!
Writing the scene where Beca kills Gabriel was actually really sad too :'(
Also Chloe is in the League, dressed as one of them! Oh and as you noticed, Chloe doesn't want to kill anyone but I'm gonna spoil it now and say she does kill more than one person and it will affect her a little in chapters 40 onwards
So Beca has 3 hierarchy left to kill, Michael, Uriel and Raphael then will she move on or burn the League to the ground like she said she would.
Keep reading to find out! And please be sure to review as I love reading how excited you are all getting over this story, I reckon Chapter 38 will be the most reviewed in the story, I'm aiming for at least 10 reviews on that chapter alone.
Until next time!
