A/N: Rose is mine Sarah is mine and NO ONE ELSE IS MINE! SARAH IS IN THIS ONE! And I have like three more chapters after this….maybe two. Two at least maybe three possibly even four an now I'm rambling so here's the story it's FROM BEN'S POV but it's following Ben and Abigail instead of Rose and Riley. You'll see why I keep calling her Rosalie in my drabble about Rose that I'll post soon. Probably before this story's finished so yeah just read and note this is a disclaimer except for Rose and Sarah….
As soon as our alarm went off we silenced it. I had been up all night sick with fear and worry of Rose and Riley's safety. I knew they'd try an protect each other which was good and bad because then while one was safe the other was getting closer and closer to their death. We got ready as quickly as possible, and hurried to the car. I kept thinking on our way to Baremont…about me and Sarah. When we were kids…there wasn't much but I do remember most of what was.
Flashback:
I sat in my room bored trying to find something to distract me from my parents fighting. Suddenly my door cracked open a bit and the yelling got clearer. "Close the door." I whispered. Sarah slid in to my bedroom as fast as she could sit on my bed hands over her ears shaking her head. "Make them stop." She pleaded to no one in particular. I took Sarah in my arms as she curled up into a fetal position hands still over her ears. I rocked her back in forth whispering comforting words for the both of us. After all she was only eight, and I was ten or eleven.
Next Flashback:
Sarah came into my room at two in the morning in tears her face red. "Sarah-"
"Mom's putting things in bags." She whispered the fear so evident in her voice. But there was one thing we both feared; loss. Of each other. Through the fights of our parents we had always been there for one another, constantly. But now the fights were occurring more and more often now, and it was likely we'd be separated. I searched for the lamp light flickering the light to life, hoping this wouldn't last long. "Sarah…it'll be okay. I pr-"
"You can't promise that!" She protested. "I-I know…but just go back to bed." I didn't know what else to say. She seemed to hesitate but did what I suggested.
End of flashbacks
But clearly things didn't end up okay. From our separation, to loosing contact with her right after Rose was born, to her death, and suddenly I was raising my ten year old niece. My life hadn't been normal from the beginning. We were almost in Baremont…I just wished I'd been able to see Sarah before the…shooting. My mom was the only thing Rose could think to run to when she'd found out about her mom that night. My dad said he'd seen Sarah a few times with Rose when she was a little tiny (well tinier she's still pretty small) girl. But after she took Rose to Paris I wasn't sure how to contact her. Now I much regret it. I sometimes get to thinking….what would've happened if Sarah hadn't gone out that night? Rose would be in Baltimore, she wouldn't have scars, but she wouldn't have Riley. And I don't know if I would have been capable of finding the Templar Treasure without her…she was the one who knew that the lemons and hair dryer could do. I finally realized we only had a few minutes to reach the warehouse. I got out of the car and looked around for anyone. I heard quiet footsteps and clenched my jaw as I noticed the sight of Ian, Rose, and Riley. Ian was grasping Rose's arms pulling them behind her back a knife to her throat, causing her to tip her head back into Ian's chest as he pushed her along, while Riley was held by two men a gun to his temple. I set the briefcase on the ground in between Abigail and me. "The money, Ben. Hand it over." Ian demanded.
"First Riley and Rose."
"Ben you're in no position to be calling any shots." Oh, how little you know Ian.
I tried to look like I had my vision focused when really it was behind Ian on Sedusky and some agents who looked ready as ever. I'd be giving them the cue soon. "Rose and Riley, Ian. Now." Abigail's teeth were grit but her eyes had a hidden fear in them. "Dr. Chase- or should I say Gates?- As I said you are in no power as of now." I opened my mouth to tell him to stay away from my wife but he continued. "Hand him over." He told one of the men (I couldn't remember most of who he 'worked' with) holding Riley. Riley was shoved forward, and I helped balance him as he tipped over and set the money on the ground between us. He started to move forward again I could actually see his grip loosening on Rose. Until he heard Agent Sedusky shout, "Freeze!"
Suddenly hell consumed us all. He had a tighter grip on Rose than ever before and the men who had been holding Riley now had a gun pointed at Rose, the other on Riley. As a few agents took down the men with the guns they both fired three times. Two times at Riley; one hit is shoulder the other his leg causing him to collapse. One fired at Rose and she screamed as it pierced itself right into her upper right arm. "IAN STOP!" I yelled. The men were now in custody. "Get back or she dies, now!" He yelled.
Everyone took a step back but no one lowered their guns.
"Give me the money now." I kicked the suitcase towards his feet. He let go of Rose's arms, and went for the money. In an instant agents were ascending towards him, and he grabbed Rose back up from his feet where she fell shivering and plunged his knife into her stomach. "ROSE!" All three of us screamed. She was screaming in pain on the ground as we all rushed forward for Ian was tackled and put in custody for the second time.
