2)Hope you are not gonna hate me for this chapter.
Guardian Angel
Chapter 13-Look at me
It was 11 at the night and they were sitting at David's van waiting for West to leave the house. They had to hope that they would manage to find something into his house. West was working with Malcolm, so the documents should be there. He should have something to protect himself from a guy like Malcolm Black.
«Are we sure he is going to leave anytime soon?» Nolan asked and everyone could see the fear in his eyes.
«Calm down. » Aiden said with a smirk in his face. He loaded the gun and turned his eyes on Emily. She was looking at the floor lost in her thoughts. He didn't talk to her. He didn't want to annoy her. So they stayed in silence for another half an hour when the front door of West's house opened. Nolan's laptop started live streaming to them what was happening outside the van.
«They are leaving. It was about time!» David said and zipped his jacket.
When they saw the car leaving for good David started talking again.
«So let's say it one more time. You two...» He said pointing at Emily and Aiden. «You clear the way to the front door. You clear the yard of any threats. At the same time Nolan is making sure that the cameras inside the house are frozen and nobody is going to be able to see you. I stay here in case anyone visits the van. When you two are done we join you and...»
«Dad we know the plan. Do you really think it's a good idea to spend another hour here talking about what we are going to do?» She almost shouted at him cutting him off.
David didn't say anything else. He just nodded and opened the door of the van for them to get off.
«Go kick some asses. » Nolan said to them before David close again the doors.
They walked slowly towards the yard's door. They climbed the fence and stayed hidden behind a shrub. They heard someone walking towards them and they both prepared themselves for a fight. The guard pass beside them smoking his cigarette. He was calm and carefree.
«Nice life John. Guard an empty house all day.» They heard him saying before Aiden wrap his arms around his neck.
«Calm down. You are just going to have a nice sleep.» He whispered in the guard's ear. When the guard pass out Aiden deposited him on the ground and followed Emily to their next target. They spend the next 10 minutes like this. When the last guard passed out Emily gave permission to her father and Nolan to join them.
«We make a good team right?»Aiden said smiling to her.
She didn't had enough time to answer to him. She gave him a genuine smile and ran to her father.
«So far so good.» She said fixing her hood.
«Now it's the hard part sweetie.» David answered and nodded to them to move on.
They moved closer to the door and looked at each other.
«Good luck» Aiden said looking Emily and feeling his heart beating faster. He didn't like that part of the plan. The part that Emily and Nolan were going to the vault while he and David were going to West's office.
«I don't need luck» She replied smiling and pushed the door open.
They entered the house. The lights at the hall were off but not those at the living room. They moved in the shadows. When Aiden entered the living room David saw his daughter and Nolan disappear at the staircase. It only took Aiden one minutes to knock out the guard.
«You are really good at this.»David whispered to him as they were walking towards the stairs. Basement for Emily and Nolan, third floor for David and Aiden.
«I was trained by the best» Aiden said and felt a physical pain in his chest. The memory of Takeda. The memory of him killing him. He shook his thoughts away and return to reality. This could be the end for Emily's war. This could give her a happy ending. He didn't have the luxury to let his memories became a burden.
«Are you there yet?» He heard Emily's voice in his ear. A small and anxious whisper.
«Second floor. Going to the third. How is everything down there?» David asked looking around him to make sure nobody was there.
«Nothing much. I knocked out two guards and now we are waiting for you. Hurry up.»
«You did what? Are you hurt?» Aiden heard David whispering in terror and let his lips turn into a smile. Of course she was ok. Of course she wasn't hurt. They were trained by the same man. Her fighting skills were unmatched. She was a ninja. She was his ninja.
«Seriously dad? Just put the flash drive in West's laptop.» Was all Emily said in return.
«Don't worry David. Your daughter is a ninja.» He said to David as he was walking upstairs.
«What did you say?» Emily's voice was back at his ear.
«How.. Did you hear that?» He said and turned his eyes in confusion to David. He saw him pressing the button to his microphone.
«I was about to talk to her...» He explained in confusion.
«You called me a ninja» She said. There was something strange in her voice.
«Emily we are in the middle of a mission here. So zip it» Was the only thing he was able to say.
«Don't worry David. Your daughter is a ninja.» She heard Sam's voice in her ear. It was less than a whisper.
«What did you say?» She said immediately
«How.. Did you hear that?»
«I was about to talk to her...»
«You called me a ninja» She said feeling her heart beating faster.
«Emily we are in the middle of a mission here. So zip it» Zip it. And that's what she did. She didn't say anything. She just stop pressing her microphone and looked at the vault.
«Ems what's wrong?» She heard Nolan her (from his spot on the floor in front of his laptop) asking her but she didn't answer right away. She was not acting logical. She was acting crazy. She should focus. She shouldn't let her ghosts hunt her at this moment.
«It's nothing.» She finally said turning around to look at her friend.
«That's not nothing. You are pale.» He said as he was standing up on his feet.
«It's nothing.» She said and took a few steps backwards.
«Ems...»
«It's just something that Aiden said. He was calling me a ninja. Yes it's stupid, and yes i am over reacting but it just hit me right here.» She said and touched her chest. «Everything around him is strange. What i am feeling around him is strange. What my hearts feels is irrational. What my body felt under his touch was... I am crazy. I know i am crazy but... Nolan it's like.. It's like my heart is in less pain.»
«You are falling for that man?»
«No Nolan. I think i am falling for Aiden all over again.» She said and turn her back to him.
«You have to move on...If the only reason you are with him is cause he reminds you of Aiden then you should stop that. » She didn't answered. She stayed in silence. She wasn't going to answer.
«We are here» She heard her father in her ear.
«Finally» She said and moved closer to Nolan.
«Put the flash drive on. And everybody... shut up. I have to work.» Nolan said.
Silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence silence
«I am in. Ems go open it.» Nolan almost screamed. The vault was highly secured. It was connected to West's personal laptop and a keyboard right next to the vault's door. He had to have access to both of them in order to hack in it. So he gave the flash drive to the fighters of his team, took the best guard with him and put himself in front of the vault. He connected the laptop with the keyboard and then... He did his magic.
«You are actually a genius.» Aiden said sharing a smile with David. «We are coming down to...» He was ready to keep talking when he heard the gun shot. He took his gun out and run towards the basement. Two guards run to him with their gun's ready to shoot but he was faster. He shoot the first one on the leg the second on the hand and kicked them in their faces knocking them out. He run to the basement and saw her in blood.
Oh no no no tell me it's not her blood
«It's not mine»
Thank god
«Nolan did it. He saved me.» She explain to both man standing in front of her, both ready to collapse. David run into his daughter's arms holding her tight but her eyes never left Aiden's.
My eyes see one thing but my heart another
Aiden walked into the vault and towards Nolan put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it.
«You did good.» He said staring at his old friend while he was stealing the hard drives.
«Everything is here we need to go.» Nolan said and walked out of the vault but not before he give a thankful look to him.
They made it to the yard without any problem. They were running towards the van when Aiden saw him. A man dressed in black with red gloves revealing himself out of the shadows. He was holding a gun. He was pointing at someone. He was pointing at them. There was no choice to make. He saw the future taking from in his eyes and he had to stop it. He had to stop it. He ran. He ran as fast as he could. He ran like he had never run before.
He fall upon Nolan and at the same time he shot the guy. He heard a gun shot. And then another one. The second. The second was his... He was late. The man in the suit had take the shot. But... No the future was safe. He could feel it. The pain slowly took over his body. He looked down and saw the wound. He smiled. He almost laughed. He turned his eyes to were the man should be and he saw a still body. No movement. He turned his eyes to Nolan. He was in shock. He was afraid. He was in terror. Then a soft hand on his check and he turned his head to look at her.
«Sam don't. Hold on.»
«Call the cops. These hard drives are gonna save you. You will have your happy ending.»
«Sam look at me. You are going to be fine. David is calling an ambulance. »
«NO! You look at me. AT ME!» He almost begged her. She had to see through him.
«Sam...»
«Come on Doclin. COME ON! Give a chance» Sam screamed. Emily looked at him in shock. He was crying. He was begging.
«Sam look at me. » She said and cupped his face in her hands. «I am here. You are not dying. Nobody is dying.»
«I can not die Amanda.» He said with a sad smile on his face. And there it was. Like a puzzle. Like a crazy puzzle that it was finally taking the right form. No he couldn't. He couldn't. No. But... Her heart was sure. Her heart was sure it was true.
«Look through me Amanda. Look at me.» He said and grabbed her hand in his. He pressed her hand on his chest, at the spot that his heart was.
«You know it only beats that way about you. It always did.»
No... No... This is not... This is not true... I am dreaming... Why am i not dreaming?
Tears were rolling down her face as her mind was realizing what her heart knew from the first moment. And then... Something started to change on him. Something like an invisible wall left him. It was like someone just slowly reaped of the curtain to the truth. His face slowly change. His face slowly took the right form. She could she her fiance coming to life right in front of her.
«Aiden?» She whispered in her tears.
«Look at me...»It was his turn to cup her face in his hands. He was in unbearable pain but he had to do it.
«Look at me. Don't cry. I am not dying. I am already dead, remember? I am not dying. This body is dying. Not me. I am here. I am watching you. »
«You came back just to get yourself killed again?» She said feeling like a maniac. Her heart, her brain, her soul... Everything was in pain.
«I had to save Nolan. He was gonna die. And you would lose someone more important than Sam. I am here Amanda but i am dead. I can not stay here forever. I can't stay with you. I wish i could but i am only a guardian angel. I do not have a place among the living.» Her confused face earned a small laughed from him.
«I love you Amanda Clarke. With all of my soul. Trust me. Now move on. Have a life. Be happy. Remember me but do not stop living. Live. Be happy. That's all i want. That's all i ever wanted. »
«What is going on here Aiden? How is that even possible?» She said leaning her forehead to touch his.
«I will explain everything to you. I promise i will come back for one last time. I promise. Someday, soon, i will be back to explain you everything. »
They looked in each other's eyes for a few seconds and then Aiden pulled her into a kiss. A soft kiss. One full of love. One full of meaning. When their lips separate she couldn't open her eyes. She knew. She was lying on top of a dead body.
Ok ok ok do not hate me and do not kill me. Like Aiden's said to Emily he is coming back for one last time so this is NOT the last thing we see with this two in this story. The story is coming to an end but i promise the next chapter is going to have Aimily scenes. Maybe i am not giving the end you wanted... but it's what feels right to i am saying it from now... He is not gonna stay to the living world. Yes but i am planning something else. Something maybe stupid but... Well you will see. As to why i choose to make him save Nolan and not Emily... It's cause it seemed equally important to me. I mean.. If he saved Emily he would have saved the love of his life. But now that he saved Nolan he saved her future. He made sure that she is not gonna lose anyone else. So sorry for this long stupid author's note (i guess... i think that's how people call it). Hope you are gonna like it. Feel free to tell me your opinion, only please do not hate me.
