A/N: Hi all. Hope everyone is well. Apologies for not updating this sooner. Had to focus on uni which I've now fully completed and am graduating this week :) Hope you're still enjoying these drabbles. It's quite hard to communicate enough emotion and plot in just 200 words. Any critisism is very welcome and if anyone has any ideas for future drabbles just let me know. Please leave a review if you have the time. Enjoy :) x
Title taken from Scar by Simple Minds
Chapter 8
I SEE FIRE
- Victoria is assigned to kill Ivan -
She couldn't believe the words she was hearing; the sheer emotions that stormed beneath the surface of her calm and professional exterior were almost too much for her to bear. It was never supposed to end like this. They were never supposed to find out. Of course, they had tried to be careful, never letting themselves be seen in public together when they weren't on a mission, and even then they had been cautious.
Red filled her vision; a swirling black sea opened in the pit of her stomach and threatened to swallow her whole. Ivan could handle himself, but there was no backing out of this. If she didn't take on this operation then the consequences for her would be unimaginable. But was death worse than killing the love of her life? Ivan was everything to her. There was no other man like him, and she knew that there would be a large hole in her heart if anything ever happened to him that would never be filled again.
And now she had been ordered to kill him.
"Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Sir" Victoria answered, wanting nothing more than to shoot a bullet through her superior's head.
