" I was born ready for that, daddy. Come..." Alex replied seductively.
The senator grinned satisfied and walked towards Alex. When he was few steps away from her, he fell on his knees groaning out of pain. Alex's knee has landed with force to his guts. He was about to tell something when Alex kick him hard on the chest and he fell back with his back on the floor. Alex walked towards him, she stood up above him and placed her heel on his neck threateningly.
" Sasha.." the senator gasped in surprise.
" You should learn some things about me, senator. I can stand a lot, but you again inside me is something that I am not willing to go through again anytime soon. The only reason why I came here and I played Sasha's role again, is because you mess up with my family. I will ask you only once, where is the file?" Alex said firmly.
" In the safe" the senator replied scared.
" Code?" Alex asked seriously.
" 4923" the senator answered honestly.
" Who did the research? " Alex continued her interrogation.
" He is dead now. I killed him when he gave me the file. His name was David Megan." the senator replied and stood still on the floor, afraid that Alex is going to break his neck if he moves.
" Who has read the file? Is there a copy?" Alex asked calmly.
" None. I didn't open it. I didn't make copies. I would deliver it tomorrow to Amanda. We only know that Michael has a family. I swear!" the senator pleaded.
" So this is all about Nikita? All this act was about Nikita?" the senator asked.
" No. It wasn't about Nikita. It was about someone else." Alex responded honestly. It was about Max. We chose this life, he didn't. I am not going to let an innocent child to suffer Alex thought and knocked the senator out.
He left his unconscious body and ran towards the safe. She entered the code and opened. He found the file and took it in her hands. She hide it under her tank and started walking out of the room still bleeding from her arm and her neck and bruised. She stopped beside senator's unconscious body. She looked down at him and she noticed that he was about to gain consciousness again.
" I didn't kill you tonight because I meant what I said before. I felt safe with you, I knew that I wouldn't die when I was with you. I am returning you the favor. But... I warn you, if you lied to me and the context of this file gets published, I will haunt you down and I will make sure that you will die suffering" Alex said seriously and she knocked him out once more. She exited the bedroom and she met his bodyguards.
" He doesn't want to be interrupted right now. He is too tired from ...our experience" Alex said playfully.
The bodyguards laughed and they let her pass through them. She was about to exit the house, when she heard a familiar voice from the distance.
" Sasha... leaving so soon? Without telling me a goodbye?" a man asked softly.
Alex froze and felt nauseau.
" Julian?" Alex said with terror in her voice and she turned around. Her eyes opened in shock when she saw a man sitting casually on the couch and drinking whisky.
" I am so glad that I don't have to re-introduce myself" Julian said sarcastically.
" Don't leave yet. I want to talk to you for awhile. Then you are free" Julian added seriously.
" What do you want Julian?" Alex asked harsh.
" I wanted to see it with my eyes. I wanted to see with my eyes that you are alive." Julian replied and smiled.
" Not thanks to you" Alex returned firmly.
" Still tough. I like it. I broke you once, I will break you again." Julian said firmly.
" Good luck with that." Alex replied coldly.
" It took me months and a lot of energy and creativity but I break you, Alexandra. I made you a bitch. You were my puppy. I won." Jullian said and stood up.
" You were torturing me and raping me for months. I don't call that winning. I did what I had to do in order to survive. You broke me, yes. Congratulations. You managed to break a 13 years old girl after months of merciless abuse. I hope that you feel proud of yourself. I was your little bitch." Alex replied coldly as ice.
" I will break you again" Julian commented casually.
" There is nothing that you can do to me that you haven't done it already. Why do you care so much anyway?" Alex said firmly.
" I care because you are my mission. I will break you. And my boss will be really happy. I am sure that she would love to see you break." Julian explained softly.
" She?" Alex asked worried.
" Amanda." Julian replied.
" You work with Amanda now?" Alex asked nervously. This was getting worse.
" She found me. She asked me if I could break you once more. She is mad at you. I took the job." Julian said calmly.
" As I said before, good luck with that. You should have known better by now. You can break my body, you can take my body, but I will never be yours. You will never get what you want." Alex replied seriously and felt her eyes burning from the tears that she was keeping back.
" You are a slut, Alexandra. A cheap whore. You will be mine when I am done with you." Julian shouted angrily.
" Yes, Julian. I was a whore, maybe I still am. Some people seem to believe that once a whore, always a whore. But a whore sells her body, her skills not her heart and her love. I will never be yours." Alex replied angrily.
" Then, I will make it sure that you won't give your heart to anyone else" Julian threatened.
" It is too late for that Julian. I don't own my heart anymore. I have handed it to the people that I call family. And no matter what, my heart will always be theirs." Alex replied firmly.
" I will always take what I want." Julian said and walked towards her.
" You have never taken what you wanted." Alex replied and stared at his eyes.
" I have Amanda by my side now, Alexandra. I will make you forget your family. You will be mine." Julian warned.
" Even if I forget about them, I will never be yours. Even if I forget them, they will have my heart. For once again you will have to satisfy yourself with a heartless body. You will never win" Alex replied.
Julian, angry by her words, slapped her hard in the face and Alex groaned out of pain.
" This is the only thing that you are capable of Julian. You can hit me again if you want. If that makes you feel like a man" Alex provoqued him.
" We will break you" Julian said with gritted teeth.
" You can try." Alex replied.
" Tell to Amanda that if she wants war, she will have a war. And tell her not to bother going after innocents because then the rules of the game will change and she will meet Alexandra Udinov- not Alex- and I know that she doesn't want to see this part of me." Alex said and opened the door.
" I suppose that I will see you soon. Bye, Julian" she added and exited the house. She took a deep breathe and walked away. She found the car and opened the door.
" Let's go back home" Alex said to her teammate and took out her bug so that Nikita and Tom couldn't hear anymore.
" Are you ok?" Meredith asked.
" Yes, I will be fine." Alex said and stared out of the window.
" Here we are. None followed us. We are clear." Meredith said and stopped the car.
" Thanks. Let's go inside." Alex replied and exited the car and entered their safehouse.
" What happened?" Jonathan asked when he noticed Alex's bruised and bloody apperance.
" I am going to take a shower. Prepare a meal for our guest." Alex ignored the question.
" Alex.. you are bleeding. You are not going anywhere before I take care of your wounds" the doctor of the team stepped up.
" You will take care of the wounds when I finish my shower and before I go to have a check on the patrolling team. It isn't negociable. William can you please hand this file to Nikita?" Alex said firmly.
" Yes. Of course." William said and took the file in his hands. Alex nodded and went to take a bath.
William went upstairs and entered Nikita's room.
" She asked me to hand you this file" William informed them and let the file on the bed.
" Where is she?" Nikita asked with grave voice.
" She is taking a shower and then she will go to have a check on the patrolling team." William said calmly.
" How is she?" Tom asked worried.
" A bloody mess." William replied sadly.
" Bloody?" Nikita asked anxiously.
" Worse or better than usual?" Tom asked nervously.
" I don't know, Tom. Honestly I don't know. We will see" William said and exited the room.
After one hour...
" Can I come in?" Meredith asked from the door.
" Of course" Tom replied.
" Dinner for both of you" Meredith informed and handed them the dishes.
" How is Alex?" Nikita asked.
" She finished her shower, she let the doctor took care of her, she went to check on the team who is patrolling the area. I think that she will come in a few minutes. She went outside again" Meredith replied calmly.
" And how is she?" Tom asked again.
" I don't know" Meredith replied honestly.
" She didn't tell me anything and her eyes were so emotionless. I really don't know" Meredith added sadly.
" Anything odd with her behavior?" Tom asked worried.
" No, I don't think so. No. Wait. She asked me where we keep the painkillers. She had never asked me for painkillers before" Meredith whispered in shock.
" Omg. She is going to relapse" Nikita shouted and jumped up.
Tom followed her example and run towards the door. They froze when they noticed that Alex was already standing there staring at them.
" I didn't take any drugs" Alex said coldly.
" Alex..." Nikita sighed in relief.
" You can count them if you don't trust me" Alex said to Tom and handed him the bottle.
" Helen is patrolling the area and she is having a headache. She didn't want me to replace her, so I gave her a painkiller. I didn't take drugs" Alex explained calmly, a little offended by Nikita and Tom's reaction.
" How are you?" Tom asked worried.
" I am fine" Alex said and walked towards Meredith.
" Bring me some ice, please. I forgot it" Alex pleaded Meredith and watched her while she was leaving the room.
She turned to Nikita.
" Go to bed. Turn around. Face on pillows. It is time for your treatment." Alex ordered and show her the ointment.
Nikita obeyed immediately not wanting to fight with Alex right now.
Alex knelt down near to her and twisted the cap to open it. She noticed that her hands were shaking and closed her eyes for a moment. She didn't want to break right now. She took care of the wounds and stood up.
" Ready" Alex said and walked away.
" I brought you the ice" Meredith said walking towards Alex.
Alex smiled at her and took the ice. She lifted her tank and placed the ice to her bruised waist. Meredith left the room not wanting to spend more time in the same room with Nikita.
" What happened?" Tom asked when she saw Alex placing the ice in her waist, but he didn't have visual to her wound because Alex had her back turned on them.
" Nothing unusual" Alex said calmly and turned to face him.
" Let me see." Tom ordered.
" It is just a bruise, Tom. Nothing more nothing less" Alex replied and stared at him.
" I don't care. Let me see" Tom shouted and walked towards Alex.
Alex lifted her tank and revealed her bruised waist.
" This is just a bruise?" Tom asked in shock. Her whole waist was black.
" Yes. This is just a bruise" Alex replied calmly.
" How did this happen?'' Nikita asked and walked towards Alex to check her wounds.
" Kicks" Alex replied softly and walked towards the window.
" Kicks?" Nikita repeated in disbelief.
" Let me check your wounds" Tom ordered.
" The doctor had a check on my wounds already." Alex replied still staring out of the window.
Tom turned her around and looked at her.
" I am going to be fine" Alex informed him.
" He reopened your gunshot" Tom said when he noticed the blood in the new bandage on her arm.
" Yes. He did" Alex replied softly.
" Why do you have a bandage on your neck?" Tom asked worried and Alex turned her gaze away.
" It is nothing" Alex lied.
" Let me have a look" Tom said and touched the bandage. Alex touched Tom's hand and looked him at the eyes.
" Please, don't" Alex pleaded.
" Please" Alex repeated.
Tom defied her wish and unbandage her wound on her neck. He shouted out of surprise and took few steps back.
" How did this happen?" Tom yelled when he saw three deeps cuts near to Alex's pulse point.
" I told you, not to do it" Alex replied calmly and put the bandage back on.
" How did this happen?" Nikita asked again.
" Let it go. Both of you." Alex said firmly.
" No. Tell us why you have cuts in your neck" Tom ordered.
" Tell us" he shouted angrily when Alex didn't answer him.
" He had a drink" Alex replied defeated and sat on the chair.
" What do you mean?" Nikita asked confused.
" I told you that his tastes were twisted. He likes the Vampire experience. He drank from my blood" Alex replied and closed her eyes.
