Please read the bold at the end of the story. DONT SKIP TO IT THOUGH, IT CONTAINS SPOILERS. SO PLEASE READ THE CHAPTER FIRST! Just want your feedback on something.
Blood dripped down from the gashes on her arms. The sting from her sweat hitting the open wounds felt as if her skin was burning. The cuffs on her arms were becoming part of her, as the wounds from trying to break them were growing around them. Her feet were scarred with burn marks and blisters. She had gone through not just Amanda's mental torture but her physical torture as well.
She had given up on everything at that point. She had no moves to play no plan that would work. If she tried anything at all everyone she cared about would be killed. She would rather suffer knowing that they alive, than suffer the rest of her lie knowing they died because of her.
With the two months of nothing but pure agony and pain she had nothing but time to think. She needed to focus all of herself on her thoughts or else she feared she would lose herself forever. She would forget the reason she was fighting to stay alive. If she died there would be no reason for them to keep Sean alive. There was no doubt in her that Amanda would get rid of Elizabeth right away.
A question lingered in her mind though. Where was her father in all this? Did he even care that she was being torture to the brink of death? Did he even know? How could Amanda keep this from him?
She looked up as she heard the metal door creak open from the rust on the hinges. The light stung her eyes as she looked up. She hadn't seen any source of light in days. A blurry figure approached from the light. Alex squinted trying to focus. She wondered if it was Amanda or another one of her henchmen arriving for another torture treatment.
The door closed behind the blurred person. A light turned on above Alex, blinding her no matter which way she tried to look. "Hello Alex," Amanda walked in holding a piece of cake.
The smell was intoxicating. Alex hadn't eaten in the past four days. She could feel her skin tightening on her ribs as her stomach slowly contracted. Her stomach whaled at her for food, but she didn't move. She knew Amanda wasn't going to give it to her, and if she did that just means she probably put something in it. "Are you hungry?" Amanda walked forward, holding the plate inches away from where Alex mouth could reach it. The smell grew, engulfing her in nothing but hunger. "Do you know what day it is today?" Amanda grinned.
Alex knew exactly. She would never forget this day. It was Elizabeth's birthday. She didn't look at Amanda. She just stared at the floor. She had no energy at that point. With barely any food and bleeding wounds all over her body she couldn't move.
"Mommy!" The door opened once more revealing Elizabeth running in, "What's taking you so long?"
Amanda kneeled down greeting the young girl with a hug. "I'm just going to finish up here and then will go celebrate."
She picked her up putting her on her hip. "Who's this mommy?
"…Elizabeth…" Alex mumbled.
"What did she do Mommy? Why are you doing this to her?" Liz hid behind her shoulder scared of her real mother.
Amanda placed her hand on Liz's shoulder and kissed her forehead, "She got involved with the wrong people.
The chains creaked as Alex tried to lunge at Amanda. The chains stopped her hands inches away from Amanda's neck.
She gave up and went back to the feeling of pure fatigue. She looked down at the floor, the only thing she's looked at the whole two months.
The door swayed open again. "Nikita!" Alex yelled out in relief.
Amanda turned around.
"Hello Darling. What's wrong with her?" a voice asked.
"Nikita where's Sean! Did you save him?!" Alex cried out.
Amanda smiled and turned, "She's just hallucinating from over exhaustion."
Amanda grabbed a bucket of water they used for torture and splashed in on Alex. The cool liquid brought Alex back as she jolted back to reality. She coughed trying to get the water she breathed in out of her lungs.
"I know you don't want to see this," Amanda was surprisingly being sympathetic.
There was a moment of silence. "It has to be done. I tried to help her but at this point this is my only choice left."
That voice… so familiar… It's him. Alex looked up glaring, it's my father.
"Don't look at me like that. You know being in this family there is a standard. That's why I'm going to take this little one and bring back my empire," her father told her smiling at Elizabeth.
Liz hugged him. "Daddy When are we leaving to celebrate my birthday," she smiled.
"We'll leave right now," he picked her up placing her on his hip.
"Good by Alexandra," Amanda smirked and walked out the door.
The creaked shut leaving her alone in her cement prison. The lights went off turning everything pitch black including her heart.
Sean
I have to keep training. I need my strength back… I need her back.
Sweat poured down his face as he benched two hundred pounds for the sixty eighth time. His muscles yelled for a break, but he couldn't. If he stopped he would be wasting time. He hadn't seen her for so long, from the moment they fought and she left till now. It's almost half a year since he held her, since they kissed.
The veins in his head were popping out as he lifted again. Come on! I need to be stronger than this!
"Sean!" Nikita ran out from the elevator.
A slam whaled through Division as he let the weights fall to the floor. He let out a gasp for air as he reached for the wall to lean on.
Nikita ran to him trying to support him from falling over. "You can't be exercising. You're still healing."
"I can waste any more time lying in bed," he slapped her head away.
"Everything she's going through will go to waste if you just end up dying here," she tried to help him again.
"I don't care!" he hit her hands away, "I would rather be dead than live without her."
Nikita didn't say anything. She knew where he was coming from. Her daughter was being tortured by a crazy b$# % and she was doing nothing. It was driving her crazy. She could barely keep herself from going off the edge and lose it.
"Sean… I know…" she with the face of guilt for bringing her into this life.
"Nikita! It's!..." Birkoff ran in, but stopped what he was saying as he was surprised to see Sean out of bed.
"Nerd!" Nikita tried to get him back to reality and tell her the news.
He quickly looked back at her. "It's Amanda! She's on the screen!"
They ran as fast as they possibly could back to ops. When they got there the fowl sight of Amanda over whelmed them. "Hello Nikita," Amanda said being her annoying polite self.
"If you killed her you B%$# ! I swear!" Nikita's boiling anger finally spilled out.
"It's always good to see you to Nikita," she smirked, "and she's alive… for now."
"Give me back Alex!" Sean yelled out demanding the love of his life.
Amanda glanced over at Sean. "O yes and there's you. The Alex's little boy toy who is the reason all this is happening."
Sean just gritted his teeth. He knew she was right. "You MotherF$#%# %$ Bit$#," he mumbled between his teeth.
"Mommy hurry! I want to celebrate with you and daddy," young Elizabeth ran up to her imaginary mother.
"Mommy?" Nikita looked shocked and confused at the sight of Liz willingly going up to Amanda calling her mother, "What have you done with Alex?!"
"Hey you," Amanda picked up the child, "I told you Nikita she's still alive… Now for how long… that depends on you."
"What do you want?!" Sean stepped forward without hesitating.
"It's actually quite simple really," she said
"Stop stalling and tell us what you want!" Sean yelled out slamming his fist on a desk.
Amanda glared at him, "Fine… there's a file I need. Record number 301433. Bring it and the dead weight will be returned to you. And relax its just a figure of speech," she placed the girl down, "I'll email you the instructions in twenty-four hours. Good bye from me and possibly Alex… Depends on if you give me what I want."
The screen blackened as her face disappeared.
"Birkoff look up file 301433," Sean walked over to him right away,
"Way ahead of you," he typed on his computer. A confused look took over Birkoff's face.
"What is it?" Sean shook him, getting him out of his thought, "What's the file?"
"I don't understand why," he said to himself before answering Sean's question, "It's a file on us, everything about us. Our lives before and during Division, all our true secrets are on this file."
Michael, Nikita, Sean, Birkoff, Sonya, and Ryan's heart beat began to go on overdrive as there heads imagined what could be on the file.
"We can't give this to her," Michael stepped toward Birkoff, "We need to destroy it if we do anything at all with it."
"Are you insane," Sean looked at him, "If we don't deliver this Alex dies. Is what's on this file more important?"
Michael didn't say anything. He didn't want Alex to die, but he feared what the file would reveal. But the truth was everyone was in fear of what 301433 contained. They all regretted so much and knew if the others found out they would never look at each other the same.
Nikita
Nikita knew there had to be another way. And she knew exactly where to start. She remembered what Elizabeth said. Liz had a daddy and no doubt it was Amanda's partner. She didn't know who it was but she had to find him. With the time of only twenty-four hours. She was going to find out who he is and save Alex no matter what.
Will Alex be rescued next chapter? and if so will the team be in time? What will Nikita's reaction be when she sees it Alex's father the man she supposedly killed? Will it reveal she had nothing to do with his faked death or will it show she lied to Alex for all these years? And what of the file, what is on it that each of them dread the others will find out? That was is on you guys. I'm letting you guys choose each of their secrets. Can be anything besides it is call Haunted by the Past.
Much love to you all! Love A
