I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO Sorry for taking so long to update this story. I want to thank everyone who told me to get off my lazy but and write. I hope some of you like this chapter. I haven't written for this story in a while so I'm rusty for ideas.
Alex and Elizabeth pulled into the Division garage. Her hands clenched the steering wheel as the nervousness was taking over her body. She had only a small clue to what she was about to walk into. She figured Sean was probably still mad at her and now he had another reason to be. She left after their huge fight and was gone for over a month. She knew he felt that she left him. But he was the only thing, besides Elizabeth, keeping her alive.
She was brought back from her thoughts as a small hand grabbed her arm. The pain from her collar bone shot through her body. It was excruciating as she could feel the broken bone move a little. She looked down to see Elizabeth grabbing onto her sleeve. "Where are we?" the young girl asked.
Alex placed her hand on Elizabeth's cheek, grateful that she was okay, "We'll be safe here."
Alex grabbed a jacket from the back seat of the car and put it on. It allowed her to hide all the bandages, bruises and stitches on her body. She didn't that many questions. As she pulled her hair from the inside of the jacket when she heard Elizabeth, "Where's mommy and daddy?"
Alex paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer that. How was she supposed to tell a three year old child that the people she thought were her real parents for who know what, and she was her real mother? Instead she just left the car and walked over to the passenger's side. When she opened the door she was shocked to see Elizabeth trying to get away from her. "It's okay," Alex tried to calm her down, "It's me. I'm not going to hurt you."
"I want my mommy," the child pulled away frightened.
Alex was shocked. It hurt her to see her own daughter scared of her. She didn't know how to convince Elizabeth to trust her. "Alex!" a voice behind her called as she heard the elevator doors open.
She turned and was surprised with a hug, "Where have you been?" Nikita hugged her tight.
The agony of all her wounds screamed out to her. She held her breath as she didn't want to show her pain. She didn't need Nikita and everyone else to ask about what happened during all that time. "I just had something to take care of," she was glad to be home.
"Umm… who's this?" Nikita left the hug and looked at Elizabeth. There was so much resemblance between her and Alex.
Alex turned around and knew she had to say something. There was no way to hide the fact they looked so much alike. "This .. is umm… my daughter," she didn't know what else to say.
"Your daughter!"Nikita looked at Alex shocked. She had a daughter? For how long? Why didn't she tell me? Who's the father?
Alex felt Elizabeth grab onto her leg. She looked down. The young girl was more scared of where she was then Alex and hid her face in her leg. Alex placed her hand on Elizabeth's back, giving her a feeling of being safe. "Where's Sean?" Alex needed to see him. She needed to feel his touch against her lips. She needed to hear his voice.
Nikita's face went from a smile to Elizabeth to a devastated look in a flash. Alex heart started to race. "What's wrong?" her voice became serious as Nikita face scared her.
"I think we should talk privately," Nikita encouraged Alex to ask later.
"No. Tell me now, where's Sean?!" Alex's fear got the best of her and her emotions came out.
Nikita took a deep breath. "He left," it was hard for her to tell someone, who was practically her daughter, that the man she loved gone.
Alex shook her head. "What?" she couldn't believe it.
She wanted to come back sooner. She didn't think that the fight was that bad, bad enough that he would just leave. Not a day went by that she didn't think of him.
"Where did he go?" Alex pleaded for an answer.
"I don't know," Nikita felt bad that she had to return to no one, "He left you a letter in your room before he walked out. No one touched it."
Alex didn't say anything just looked down at Elizabeth. She was trying so hard to hold back her tears.
Elizabeth point of view-
What's going on? I'm scared. I want mommy and daddy. I thought Alex was my friend, but she scares me now. She took me away from my home and brought me here. I don't even know where here is. It's creepy and dark. This place scares me the most. I want to go home. I want to hug my teddy and have mommy tuck me in.
I can feel tears start to build up in my eyes. I don't like it here. When I looked up at Alex she was talking about some guy name Sean. This person must have hurt her, because I can see her crying. I feel scared but I hold her hand. I can feel her shaking but I'm sure she can feel me shaking to.
Alex's face became a smile. I smiled back, part of me didn't want to but I could tell she needed it. She bent down to pick me up. I tried to move away but she grabbed me and put me in her arms.
I didn't move or complain. I didn't want to make her mad. If she got mad she might not take me back to mommy and daddy or she might hit me.
She carried me as she walked over to the elevator. I could hear the machine move. The creeks scared me as I could feel us go down. When the door opened she walked out. I could hear her heart beat go faster and faster. As we walked past a room I saw a group of people. They had their mouths open. They looked shocked as if they didn't expect to see her. "The princess has returned from hiding," I could hear one of them say while he was sitting at a computer.
She didn't stop though. Where was she taking me? I want my teddy.
We walked into a room. She set me down on the bed. I just rushed off, but there was nowhere to go so I ran to the corner of the room. She looked at me I could see she was sad. "I promise not to hurt you," she held her hand out to me.
"I want my mommy and daddy!" I cried out.
She stepped forward and I went as close to the wall as possible. But she stopped and looked down. Her foot was on top of a letter. I must have knocked it off the bed when I ran. Was she going to hurt me because I made a mess. I closed my eyes waiting for her to hurt me. But nothing happened. I opened my eyes to see her sitting on the bed reading the paper.
Normal Point of View-
Alex clenched the paper as she read it. Water stains were created as her tears fell on the ink on the paper. The letter said…
Dear Alex,
I'm so sorry for the fight we had. If you are reading this that means you returned from Division and I'm not there. I'm so sorry that I'm not there to be the first to greet you at your return.
After the fight I thought you left because of me. I spent weeks beating myself up thinking that I hurt you enough to leave. After dealing with all the pain I figured it was time for me to move on from you. There was no pointing in waiting for you to return because you might never return. At first it was hard to stop thinking of you. After a few days it became impossible. You never left my mind. I thought I saw you everywhere. I couldn't let another day go by of you being out of my arms. So I'm leaving. I will not return without finding you or making sure you're okay. If you are reading this please find me. I need to know you're okay.
I hope you found your daughter. I want you to know I am so sorry if you left because of me.
Love Sean.
Alex broke down in tears. The man she loved was gone and if he hadn't returned by now something must have gone wrong. It was all her fault she should have told him everything sooner. Now there was a chance he was hurt looking for her. She wanted to find him. She would search the globe nonstop for him, but she could leave Elizabeth. What was she going to do?...
