Troops swarmed the hallways. Bullets cut the air as they hit walls and agents. Sean ran as fast as he could toward his and Alex's bed room. He wasn't going to leave without it.
His boots squeaked as they ran in blood. He looked behind him every second. The lights were flashing giving him an eerie feeling. He could hear the enemies' footsteps seconds behind him. He hid behind a pillar on the wall and prepared his gun to shoot. Sean closed his eyes listening for the right moment.
Now! He launched out from behind the concrete and didn't hesitate to fire. He could feel a bullet barely miss him and go through his hair. The dark hallway flashed from the gun's firing. When the lights flickered, they revealed a blood bath. Sean felt his arm as a bullet skid it. He had been through worse so he just ignored it.
The men were trained and knew how to shoot. If Sean was less than a second late he wouldn't be breathing. He reloaded his gun knowing there was going to be more of them.
Not wanting to know what was going to happen next, he kept moving. Amanda's thugs were everywhere. Division agents were dying left and right. Division had become a battlefield of assassins.
Sean finally reached his and Alex's room. Out of breath he hid behind the door as he heard screams from the hallway. The scream felt as if they never ended. There were so many he couldn't stop them. "Help!" an agent yelled out desperately, "help!"
No matter how many missions he went on, he never got used to the screams of someone dying. Sean froze. He couldn't do anything but stand there. If he went out there, no doubt he would be killed. He closed his eyes praying for a miracle.
Flashback
"Sean!... Sean!" a U.S. seal called to him.
Sean just looked over as him and his best friend was being trapped in an old, destroyed fishing shack by an ambush. There between a hundred foot waterfall and practically an army. They had been fighting for days just trying to survive till help arrived. "Sean! I'm running out of ideas!" his friend Andrew yelled to him over gun fire.
Andrew had been his best friend from the first day of becoming a seal. They were practically brothers. Sean would take a bullet for him, there was no question about that.
Sean needed to think of a plan. He looked around for anything to help. It would take a miracle to get out alive. He looked everywhere for anything, but nothing would work. They were minutes away from being out of ammo. "Andrew!" Sean yelled out.
Andrew looked at Sean. There were no words. Sean just shook his head. At that point they both knew what that meant.
Andrew stood up firing at the enemy covering himself as he moved to Sean. "Fight together, die together!" Sean told him.
Andrew smiled, "Not this time."
Sean looked at him confused. Grenades were going off everywhere. Andrew grabbed Sean by the collar and lifted him up. It felt like slow motion to Sean, as he was thrown down the waterfall. The last thing he saw before disappearing into the falling mist was Andrew. He was holding a charge in his hand, and that's when it happened. The cliff shook as it burst into flames. The only thing Sean remembered from those few seconds was Andrews yell as he turned into flames.
Present
Sean came back to reality. His heart sped up from every scream reminding him of his fallen comrade and brother.
He shook his head and needed to hurry. His raced over to his dresser and grabbed it. His hand clenched the little black box he hid for so long. It was the last thing he had to remind him of Alex. He stuffed it in his pocket and ran to the door.
Before he could reach it his room exploded. Concrete chips launched everywhere and he flew to the wall. His head hit the floor sending pain all over his body. He could feel his body beginning to go numb. His ears were ringing as he was trying to focus his eyes on the battle yards away from him. He slowly crawled as he saw the black box in the middle of the floor. He put his hand on the ground trying to force himself up, when he noticed something shiny on the floor. He picked it up, trying hard to see what it was. His eyes finally cleared and he realized what he was holding.
It was a ring, but not his. It was a different ring. He looked inside to read the engraving, Forever Together. Sean couldn't believe what he was seeing. Alex had a ring from someone else.
"Sean!" Michael yelled firing his pistol.
Sean looked up putting the other ring in his pocket. "Where did they all come from?" Sean grabbed a gun from Michael.
"I don't know!" Michael fired bullet after bullet, "We need back up!"
He took his phone out and dialed Nikita's number. He hesitated to whether he should press call. Would she care? His heart broke at the thought. He brought himself to press it. The phone rang showing a picture of the both of them together on it. They seemed so happy. Would they ever be like that again?
Nikita
She grabbed her phone as she heard vibrate from the seat next to her. She looked at it. Tears were beginning to build up again as it read Michael and showed a picture of him smiling. It was the smile that always made her smile. His green eyes used to give her butterflies.
Nikita couldn't do it. She couldn't talk to him. Her heart was still shattering at the thought of what he did. How could he? Daniel… He's gone forever because of you, and you lied to me about it.
She looked away from the phone as she felt the tears stream down her cheek. She pressed ignore call. She couldn't talk to him about it. She couldn't deal with the pain again. Nikita just kept driving she was minutes away from the building and Amanda.
Michael
Michael looked at Sean and shook his head. He wasn't surprised she didn't answer his call. But if he died right then and there he wished they were on at least speaking terms. He regretted the mission more than anything.
Sean looked at him. He didn't know what to say. There were no words that would help. At that point nothing would help in either situation. Ryan, Owen, Birkoff, and everyone else were nowhere to be found, and they couldn't go looking for them.
Michael looked up at him, "We're on our own."
Alex
Her teeth chattered as the temperature kept dropping. She could see her breath. Her body was practically numb. Her lips and fingertips were purple. She was beginning to feel hyperthermia.
Each second felt like an hour. The thought of what Elizabeth was going through, made Alex cry. She's so young. She doesn't deserve this!
Her tears were frozen by the time they reached the bottom of her face. There was no way out. No chance of living to see her daughter. The darkness became her home. It was all she knew for the months she's been there. It's all over, Amanda won.
Nikita
Nikita finally arrived, the place where Alex was being tortured and Elizabeth was a prisoner, was so close. It was on an abandoned harbor. Every building in sight was rundown, destroyed, or covered in gang graffiti.
She couldn't go through the front door and the other side was surrounded by water. A van was coming and from where she was scoping the area, she was sure to be seen. She ran to the harbors water and jumped in. Bubbles were all around her. The way the water was green and brown Nikita could barely see through it.
She swam underneath the dock she just jumped off and went up for air. There was no way she would be able to see where she was going under the water, so she needed to get a general direction. Once she saw the witches building she held her breath and went under.
Her lungs begged for air after five minutes of swimming, but she couldn't go up to breathe. There were lights hitting the water as her body guards watched the water. She just had to keep going until she got to the building.
After her lungs practically breaking from no oxygen she went up, grabbing a guard's foot and dragging him in the water. The guard dropped his gun wrapping his hand around Nikita's neck holding her underwater. She tried to get out of his grip, thrashing under the surface. The air was escaping from her mouth as she tried to yell.
Nikita took her knife out of her boot and stabbed the man in the hand. Out of pain he released her. She got her arms around her neck and with one swift motion cracked it. The guard's body became motionless as blood floated up from his mouth and nose.
Nikita swam to the surface, pulling herself onto the docks. She breathed in hard, taking in as much air as possible, coughing out the remaining water in her lungs. She knew she had to keep moving. She couldn't rest now, now that she was so close to saving Alex.
She got to her knees and then to her feet. Just then she saw a hooded man exit the building. She dove behind a crate and watched. He was quiet, and the guards followed him pointing their guns everywhere to make sure he was safe. At that point she knew it was Amanda's partner in all the planning. But what she saw next surprised her. The man brought down his hood and let the light from the docks hit his face. "Nikolai Udinov…"
Nikita now knows that Alex's father is the one helping Amanda. Will it show by her reaction that she helped him live? What about the little black box Sean has, does that mean he'll pop the big question? But how could he after finding a ring Alex was keeping? So many questions that can only be revealed by next chapter.
