Chapter 13
So I ran, Eilidh was outside Claires so she started running too! I looked behind me but I couldn't see Ziva, I began to worry but then I realised that she must be kicking
Palomth's butt or something so I just continued to run. I didn't exactly know where I was going so I just ended up on that hill at that park out of breath and suddenly
really dizzy, I clutched a tree for support and black dots began to block my vision and my head was throbbing and I somehow didn't think that this was just because I
was out of breath anymore…. I lay down on the grass and tried to take my mind off it by counting the number of clouds in the sky (there was actually 8) but it became
difficult to breathe so I tried to concentrate on my breaths instead. Suddenly, a blur of long brown hair came out of nowhere and I called to her in panic. "oh my god…
the bullets are still lodged in your ear," she whispered looking at both my ears, she noticed me looking at her in alarm, "just stay calm okay? I will get them out," so I did what she said and she played about with my ears trying to figure out some way to get them out, my heart was beating at 100 miles per hour because I knew that I
could die at any minute, any second….Ziva also knew this and started telling me a funny story about when she got lost of the way to NCIS on her first day there and it
made me laugh but I was still worried.
Within those shuddering, painful minutes, she managed to get them out of my ears and I thanked her, still shaking! Eilidh then came and sat beside us, fiddling with
her bracelet on her arm as Ziva told us what The update was, "the man was him…Palomth, I managed to knock him out finally but I am worried about what he said to
me," "what did he say to you Ziva?" Eilidh asked, Ziva looked at both of us and then said in A quiet voice, "he said this: This is not the end Ziva David…the next time I
see you, I will make your life hell or maybe just kill you, whatever I prefer….but you will see me very soon," me and Eilidh looked at each
Other, "oh my god…" I muttered, "How soon exactly?" Eilidh asked, Ziva shrugged, "I do not know but he made it pretty clear that he is going to get me!" she
nervously laughed and then fixated her gaze on a building In the distance and stayed there, "I honestly do not know how much fight I have left in me," Eilidh went
over to her and hugged her, "come on Zizi, you can do anything you know, I believe in you," I went and joined In the hug and told her the same because we really did
believe in her and we knew that it wasn't like her at all to be this way! Hell, if she was still the season 3 Ziva, this guy would already be long gone by now!
"I do not like being called Zizi," Ziva chuckled, "but I will let you both away with it this time….thank you," We all stayed together on that hill for a while it seems, time was going by so slowly….
When suddenly, Ziva's eyes went wide and she said that there was a figure coming towards us from the distance that looked familiar! "Palomth." She breathed and
simply by hearing that name, me and Eilidh Both knew that we had to hide as some serious crap was about to go down….But all didn't go according to plan at all! We
both thought that Ziva would maybe fight him for a bit and have a confrontation, then possibly Stop him in his tracks because we had given her a much needed pep
talk! But no, even though her hand was shaking like hell as she retrieved the gun from her pocket, and posited it in the air first and then at him,
The old Ziva was back….even though it might get her into trouble. Me and Eilidh couldn't help grinning as she took one scary/angry look at him that said 'this is it, you
are going down Palomth' and she pulled the trigger, then there was a massive bang and Palomth fell down dead on the ground, his head in his hands….Ziva's look was
gone then and replaced by shock and so was mine as we realised what she has done, what she has ruined: her cover! Even though she could do that if she wanted to
and was probably the best thing to do in NCIS or Mossad, it would not be aloud here and now everyone will find out who she is before its too late. "Why did I have to
do that?" Ziva muttered to herself and started cursing in Hebrew or Arabic or whatever language it was, Eilidh was still delighted though and started clapping and
screaming 'yay!' over and over again! "Eilidh, do not be pleased, I have done something bad," she explained and she could not even look at any of us in the eye,
"what do you mean? Wasn't that the best thing to do?" Eilidh asked, "Well yes, usually, but not here and now my cover has been broken off before it was
Meant to, I am in big trouble…." She continued, sighing. "It's blown off," Eilidh corrected, "maybe it's not that bad?" Well, that turned out to be a pointless comment as
Ziva muttered something about 'not being able to take this anymore' and ran off, Despite us calling after her repeating and not giving up until she was a rather blurry
dot in the distance, almost unrecognisable anymore….we were unable to stop her and she was unable to stop herself. We did not get any word from her after that,
she didn't even come to school anymore, well she couldn't, so we had yet another RE teacher as a replacement and she was horrible!
"Hello, I am Mrs Cuthbert and I will be your new replacement until your original RE teacher comes back," said the woman on a wet Wednesday afternoon, who had
super tight glasses and bright orange tights and a red and purple dress that looked just wrong on her big frame, "what happened to Miss David?" one of my
classmates said, I held my breath, this will be the first time I will have heard about her since Sunday and me and Eilidh have been worried sick about her after the
state she was in and she would not reply to any of our calls or texts, "Well, I would rather not discuss with you lot what happened but very well, Miss David has turned
out not to be a teacher, but a poser teacher who turned out to be actually a field agent from some agency which I can't remember the name of, CSI or something?
Anyway, she has brought everyone and this school shame so I would rather not talk about the stupid woman," I seriously wanted to punch her then! first for giving
out important information which could have still be kept safe and secondly, for treating her like dirt by saying she brought the school shame (what sort of shame is
that? shooting a horrible man? she had to didn't she?) and for calling her a stupid woman because this woman was the perfect example of stupid, with her stupid
tights, stupid dress, stupid glasses, stupid name… "Maddy!" She suddenly shouted my name and I looked up, "are you listening to me or not?"
"Yes Mrs," I muttered, sighing. When she started talking about something else, I do not even remember what she was even talking about, I secretly rolled my eyes
and hoped that this period would end soon…I never wanted to come back to RE again until at least the teacher before Ziva took over came back, but also because now
the room still had Ziva's essence about it! There was a painting of the star of David next to the board and an Iraseli flag still sitting on the desk, also there was a
picture in a golden frame of her sitting on a bench with Tony and she was resting her head on his knee, it was the first time i noticed it and it made me smile for a
minute….Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and Mrs stupid Cuthbert went and answered it, the figure standing at the door rather helplessly with a brown box
was indeed Ziva! The class all looked at her and started whispering to each other, I just stared at her and didn't look away even when Mrs Cuthbert immediately
reacted, "what do you want Miss David? Coming to shoot another one of your pupils?" Most of the class tittered and I just wanted to tell Mrs Cuthbert to shut her gob,
"I was just coming to collect my stuff," Ziva explained, "unless that is a problem?" "well it might be, seeing as you are supposed to be banned from school grounds…"
Mrs Cuthbert began and was about to continue when I said, "shut up!" "what did you say Missus?" she asked, getting all up in my face but I honestly didn't care, "just
shut up alright? Miss David might've actually been a field agent and shot one of the pupils here, but actually the boy was the brother of a terrorist and wanted to kill
her, and me, and another pupil at this school! So before you go saying that she was completely in the wrong well she wasn't! that boy could've tried to kill more of us,"
I was shouting now but again I didn't care, Ziva was giving me that look that said I shouldn't have said all that but I still think I should've, "So you think that a field
agent who might also be an assassin wasn't completely in the wrong?" Mrs Cuthbert laughed coldly (how did she even know that, i thought to myself) "well you have a
lot to learn girl! watch out, she might try and kill you!" "Miss David saved me for your information," I said firmly , Mrs Cuthbert just told me to go outside and 'calm
down' but I did more than that! I ran out the class and down the corridor without looking back, I didn't realise that someone might be following me… "Thank you," said
the person and I turned around, it was Ziva, "for proving my point, I thought that I was completely in the wrong as well but I actually am not, I saved a lot of people by
killing just one," "exactly," I smiled, glad to have done something for my idol, " so where are you gonna go now?" Ziva looked a bit sad for a moment and then she said, "back to America with the rest of them, I cannot stay here Maddy but I never was anyway," "oh," I said quietly, feeling sad too because she would have to leave and I would never see her again, even though I knew this day would come! Eilidh suddenly came down
the corridor with some books, obviously for a message and came running up to us. "Ziva! Where have you been?" Eilidh exclaimed, "I have been on the run, well sort
of, and I cannot stay here so I am going back to America…" Ziva explained, "I was not staying here anyway but I will…miss you both," Me and Eilidh looked at each
other, this is it. We would have to part with her. Tears suddenly started forming in my eyes and Ziva saw and hugged me and also Eilidh, we stayed there for ages, both
Eilidh and Ziva both getting teary eyed, "Well, we had some good times," Eilidh admitted and we all laughed remembering them, "yes we did," Ziva replied, she
suddenly let us both go and faced us, "Before I go, I want you guys both to know something," "what is it Zizi?" we both asked her and she smiled at that nickname, "If
someone ever tries to mess with either one of you or you just want some advice….call me,"
well thats it finished xD hope you enjoyed it :)
