89.28% How I Survived - [GL] / Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 25

UNEDITED-

Marisol POV-

I guess she really does just need to be told what to do..

I followed Alex to the main armory where we got geared up.. I had a pistol holster on my thigh and my katana secured tightly around my waist. Alex slid a glock into it's holster on her leg, zipped up her leather motorcycle jacket and looked to over to me.. "Are you sure you're ready to do this?"

"You sound just as unwilling as before.. if anything goes wrong I can just fly us right out of there.. you have nothing to be afraid of.."

"We are about to murder my uncle.." ..Alex's words sparked a flurry in my mind.. Blurry images of me driving my blade into my uncle.. then Forrest clear as day.. stumbling towards me with outstretched arms, snarling like a ravenous wild animal.. His hands grabbed onto my arms, I could feel their pressure around my biceps.. I closed my eyes, waiting for him to finish what he started.. but he lightly shook me instead.. "Sol?"

"Alex?" I opened my eyes to see that I'm back in the armory.. or rather that I never left. She took away her hands and stepped back.

"Why are you crying? you just told me you was alright.."

"The wall that Luca built is collapsing and I'm having a little trouble I guess.."

"That's a pretty specific guess.."

"I decide to give you the truth and instead of having gratitude, you decide to pick apart my words.." I raised an eyebrow subconsciously.

"No.. I'm sorry, I just.. forgot that I care about how you feel.."

"How can you 'just forget' something like that?" I'm just slightly amused at this point..

"I made Luca try to shut you out.."

"Out of what?"

"Me.. my head, heart.. whatever it is.."

"You made him mess with your head for a second time because of me?" I couldn't help but chuckle at how flustered she had become in just seconds.. "-So you really did try to stay away.."

"I tried.." She nodded in acknowledgment of the fact. But she evidently failed.

"And yet here you are, with me.. marching towards what you think will be the end of our lives.."

"I hope it isn't.."

"Well at least that's something.." I smiled..

"Stop smiling like that.."

"Like what?"

"Like you won a goldfish at the fair.."

"Shut up.. let's just go.."

"Aren't you forgetting something?.." She raised her eyebrow.

"Can we skip this part and get straight to the bit where you tell me what it is?"

"You're infuriating sometimes.."

"And yet you are apparently still in love with me so what does that say about you?.."

"It says that I'm attracted to fierce women who will do whatever they can to get what they want.. I'm just lucky that in this case you're intentions are good.."

"What would you do if they weren't?"

"I don't know.. Anyway it's the rifle, your forgetting the rifle.."

"Right.. thanks.." I nodded awkwardly before walking past her to take the familiar rifle from the huge wall of guns. As we walked towards the exit of the armory a middle aged woman with dyed peach hair sat behind a desk at the exit.. Alex told her what ammunition we needed, the woman past it over to us and we made our way to the garage.

Rows and rows of all kinds of cars lined the floor, there must be at least sixty of them. Some have been modified with metal plates over the windows and small rectangular holes cut out so you could see and potentially shoot or stab through.. A few rangrovers with a pointed front end to cut through the herds if ever there were any.. These days it seems like the dead are almost all gone. Until a camp gets overthrown and more lifeless bodies join the endless search for food. I've been told there are mutated ones that come out at night to feed off the dead and the living.. they usually hunt as a pack and should be avoided at all costs.

"Can you run me over the plan again.." As I asked Alex looked to me with an eye roll.

"How many times do you want to hear it?.. we drive there.. we get out and you fly us over their defences.. I'll tell you where to land and from there we will be able to see Romans private quarters... then.. you know"

"Yeah.. right.." None of that is going to happen. I already have a plan and I really feel bad for making her believe that I'm in on this one but.. She won't take me there otherwise and I didn't think to ask anyone directions.. "So which car are we taking?" We have past some pretty good options so far.

"We're not taking a car.." She shook her head like I said something funny.

"What do you mean not a car? what then?"

As if right on time we past another truck that had been hiding a black motorbike.. She gestured her hand towards it.. "This.."

"You are joking.." oh she isn't.. "-it's unnecessarily loud.. and dangerous.. the flies get in all your face holes and it makes my arse hurt.." ...

"Stop complaining and just trust me.. we'll get there an back faster, you can wear a helmet to stop the flies. Why are you even complaining about bugs when you fly.. doesn't that happen when you're up there?"

"No.."

"Whatever.. just get on.." She walked over to the bike and climbed onto it.. "Come on." She gestured behind her with her head..

"Fine.." I sighed giving in.. I jumped on the bike and held onto the back of the seat as Alex rode to the entrance of the garage where another man in a booth sat waiting for someone to gain his attention.. It seems these people figured something worked and decided to apply it to everything. The man passed two black motorbike helmets over the counter to Alex and she past me one.. "Thanks.." I nodded before pulling it over my head as Alex did the same with hers.. It only just occurred to me that the weight of the motorclye and me are leaning on Alexs one leg but she simply used both hands to put on her helmet and nodded to the man, he pressed a button infront of him and the thick metal door leading to the outside world began to slowly open.

"You ready?" Alex didn't look back as she spoke but a speaker in my helmet made her voice clear as day.

"I'm ready.." I really hope I am but I suppose only time will tell.

Alex pulled away rather suddenly, forcing me to quickly grab around her waist.. holding on for dear life as we sped through the countryside and into the city..

I'm not sure why, but I feel like Alex is gaining satisfaction from the fact that I'm finding it somewhat of a task to stay seated right now.. A part of me wants to open my wings and jump off just to avoid the close contact but another part is enjoying being close to her. As much as I still want to stab and drown that part it makes me warm. fuck. At this point I've thought this through a few times.. I think that Alex will not forgive me for lying to her.. But if I tell her the truth she will try to stop me. We will see.. either she forgives me or she doesn't but whatever happens I feel like I have to try.

"Still okay?" She asked after about thirty minutes into our journey..

"Mhmm" Not really.. my arse hurts and I'm dangerously close to a beautiful woman who is probably about to hate me.. why did my mind jump back to that?..

"You sound it.."

"Yeah.. no I'm fine.."

"Okay then.."

Another hour and to my relief Alex was finally slowing down.. "God I'm glad that's over.." I huffed as I hopped off the back of the bike. At least I won't have to ride with her on the way back since she's gonna be so mad she probably won't even want to look at me.

"It wasn't that bad.." She rolled her eyes then took her helmet off, loose hair fell down her shoulders and back.. She casually shook it out and then looked to me.. "What?"

"No nothing.." I brushed it off, shaking my head. Since when did Alex make my stomach flutter?.. this is not the right time to be having a revelation like this! I took my helmet off and looked back Alex as she spoke..

"Well I guess now it's my turn to trust you.." A choice you will surely come to regret.

"I hope we can still be like this after.." I don't want her to trust me.. then she will think that she was wrong and judge herself instead of aiming everything at me.

"Of course we will.. but first how are we gonna do this?"

"Oh jeez, we really should have practiced this part.."

"It's fine just do what you feel is comfortable.."

"Alright.. well uh, do you mind if I?" I opened my arms out as if to gesture me holding her.. She shook her head simply.. "Okay then.." I walked behind her and slowly slid my arms through hers, wrapping them around her stomach.. Just as I was about to open my wings..

"Sol?"

"Yes?"

"Can I turn around?. I don't feel very safe not holding onto something.."

"uh.. I guess so.." I loosened my grip so that she could turn around and straight away she did.. awkwardly hugging her arms around my chest with hands full of my clothes so that she won't fall if I let go.. ".. you ready?"

"Yeah.. No! no I'm not ready!"

I opened my wings and quickly took us high up over the surrounding buildings, heading in the direction we'd been driving.. Alex quickly tightened her grip on me, hiding her face in the crook of my neck and forcing the air out of my lungs.. "Could you, loosen, a little?"

"Sorry.." She spoke quietly while letting up the pressure enough for me to finally breathe freely.

"How will we find the place if you can't even look down?" I asked as I moved a hand to wipe a mixture of mine and Alexs hair out of my eyes..

"Don't you dare let go of me!" She shouted in my ear..

"Calm down.. I couldn't see where I was going, and I've still got you.." She lifted her head from my shoulder to look at me, then slowly she took a glance around and back to me.. then slowly she looked down..

"So you have.." .. "There is a group posted in that building.. make sure they don't see us..." Alex pointed ahead to a large office building that sat just by the main road..

"Got it.." I flew up higher so we would only look like a tiny dot in the sky.. the sun has almost set so the likeliness of them even seeing us is little to none. Alex seemed to be getting her bearings now, not too afraid to even open her eyes.. Ten minutes after we past the first building I saw what I already knew to be Romans residence.. This used to be the city prison but it's clearly been modified to fit this groups needs. Much like where I've been staying these people have small fields of crops and a few pigs in a pen.. More makeshift wooden shacks sat behind the tall double fences.

"There.." Alex pointed to a specific building that was on the edge of the compound.. before realising we are now each only holding onto eachother with one hand, her panic set in and she quickly grabbed ahold of me, breathing slowly to compose herself..

"Someone is literally camped on the building nexto it.."

"Yusif is never in.."

"I can see him Alex.. long hair, scruffy beard.. baseball cap?" I guess it's too dark for her to see.

"How can you even see him?"

"It doesn't matter.. we will have to think of something else. Which room is Roman in?" Alex answered by pointing to the top floor of the prison to a huge window that anyone could see the dim orange glow of a light source inside. Now I know where he will be I have to put Alex somewhere safe.. without warning I relaxed my wings and let us fall fast to the floor before catching us a good few feet from the ground..

"What the?" Was all Alex could get out before we were on the ground.. I let go of her and she instinctively let go of me.. not knowing what had happened, why we had suddenly dropped out of the sky. All it took was another second for me to be back in the air.. I flew high up as not to be seen before lowering myself directly onto the roof of the prison.. I walked to the side Alex had pointed at and peered over the edge, seeing if I can spot an open window.. Sure enough there were several..

It seems the last people to work up here didn't do a good cleanup.. tangled mounds of old wires scattered over the roof. I quickly grabbed one and tried to free it from the others.. No luck, I tried at a second and still it was too tangled. Finally on my third try I managed to get one that I'd freed a long enough piece.. I dragged the mound over to a pipe that came through the roof and led to a water tank. I quickly tied it off and yanked hard to make sure it was safe..

I blew out some deep breaths before stepping off the edge of the roof, abseiling down to the window. Just as I reached out to open it further after checking the coast was clear, the wire started to lower me down further.. and further.. until it came loose completely and I was falling flailing towards the ground.. my wings opened up in an attempt to protect myself but I scraped a wing off the wall and ended up tumbling in the air until the hard floor finally stopped me. My wings shielded my body from the fall but my head was still dizzy from all the spinning.. As I stood up I noticed something was wrong.. My eyes were fixed on someone else's, the huge burly man looked back with eyes glaring towards me, his gun still pointed at the ground but his hands began twitching.. Before I could think of what else to do, I flapped my wings and lunged towards him, double foot kicking him backwards into the wall where he fell unconscious.

Just as I was about to fly up and try again a bullet came flying out of nowhere bouncing off my wing.. I looked back to see another guard pointing his gun at me. I guess doing this quietly is now not an option.. Fuck. I pulled my pistol out and shot him right between the eyes.. More footsteps pattering in the distance drew my attention.. Just as they rounded the corned I fired two bullets, their bodies quickly dropped to the floor. I ran towards the entrance where three huge men and four woman dressed in riot gear were waiting behind the reinforced doors.

I ran at the door full speed, using one of my wings as a battering ram.. The door was built pretty well and stayed together nicely, but it did break away from the wall even taking the doorframe with it.. As it dropped to the floor between us the guards watched and looked straight back up to me.. I saw as one of them put their finger on the trigger and I wrapped my wings around myself.. They all began shooting in my direction. Seeing no other option I ran at them, easily flicking three of them into the wall with one swipe of my wing.. Are these things indestructible?

I heard a thud and then metal scraping as one of them dropped the gun and pulled a sword. The woman ran at me screaming bloody murder, the sound peirced through my eardrums, I had to close my eyes for a second just to remember what was going on through the pain in my eardrums.. A searing pain struck my shoulder and I looked down to see that she had launched her sword at me. All of them waited as I slowly pulled it out.. I looked up at them, just in time to use my wing to block a bullet flying straight for my head.. "I don't want to kill you you know.." Another bullet flying towards me let me know that we weren't about to have a civilised conversation.. "Fine.. have it your way.." I shrugged, before launching the sword back towards its rightful owner, planting it straight through her neck.. Black blood began gushing out, coving her face shield and all over the floor, almost invisible on her black uniform.

The rest of their eyes grew wide, the first three had began picking themselves off the floor, glaring at me with the same hatefilled expression. Well now I made it personal for them. "I'm not here for any of you.." Lets try again.

"You just killed Freya but you're not here to kill us?" I looked to the girl who still laid dying on the floor.. Okay so I guess I have to prove it. As I began to walk over to the dying girl they kept their weapons pointed towards me..

"Just, wait a minute.." I put my pistol back in its holster and continued over to the girl, kneeling down beside her.. She only looks to be around my age. What is she doing taking up a dangerous role like this?.. Her hands were clutching at the sword in her neck in a panicked frenzy as she spluttered and tried to breathe. Her eyes wide with fear, fixed on me.. I carefully removed her helmet and put one hand gently on her head, I could already feel the physical damage that I had done.. as I began to hold the rest of her throat together, a small wind started flying around us.. I slowly removed the sword from her neck with my other hand and then began to fix the real problem.. as the process got more intense so did the energy that was flying around us.

Carefully repairing and reattaching each nerve ending, stitching the flesh back together cell by cell I couldn't help but feel guilty about all this. But it's not my fault she chose to fight. Somehow during this interaction I felt that something in her brain wasn't quite right.. it wasn't injured but something wasn't firing correctly..

The seemingly lengthy process only took only a minute before it was all done.. The wind subsided and the girl breathed frantically as she sat up, glancing to the bloody sword and back to me.. her hand moved up to feel her neck, it was still soaked with blood but she knows it's healed.. "What is wrong with you?" She shuffled away from me and I decided it's my time to stand up.

"So you see.. I'm not here for you.." I looked back to the rest of the guards..

"You're the flying one that murdered Bean aren't you?" One of the men narrowed his eyes, still pointing his gun towards me.. but at least we are on speaking terms. We must hurry this up before more guards turn up.

"She was trying to suck the life out of my body so yes I killed Bean.. now can you just pretend you didn't see me? I saved your friend after all.."

"And what about Oscar, Barry and Harry?" I'm guessing they are the guys I killed outside..

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.. they love to make the victor a bad guy. "Look I'm not in this for fun okay?" As I answered I folded my wings back in.. They are beginning to get a little tired.

"What are you here for?" Freya asked as she got to her feet.. trying to wipe the blood from her face and neck with her sleeve.

"That's classified.. just know that I'm only here for one person but I will go through anyone that gets in my way..."

"You're here for Roman.." Freya raised her eyebrow..

"uh.. yes.."

"Well, let's go then.." She ushered towards the corridor..

"Freya! What are you doing?!"

"George.. this isn't isn't the way forward. Look at us.. look at how we live.. it's not right. Someone needs to stop him.. even if it is her.."

"Not like this.." Another woman spoke up..

"She might be our only chance.."

"Freya.." The man known as George sighed..

"No George.. I'm done.. If Hersha asks what happened here tell her a ferrel got in or something.. You.." She pointed to me.. "Lets go.." I looked at all the other people who just bowed their heads in respect for her.. But what could she have even done to earn their respect? That she just says something and they do it with barely any hesitation. "Quickly!" I did as she said and quickly followed the brunette into the main building and into an elevator.. This seems like a new addition to the old structure.

"So you want Roman dead?" I asked when the silence had become too much..

"Can you be quiet?.."

"Sure.." I replied somewhat awkwardly.. whilst taking some time to close up my own wound.. only a little breeze flurried around us in the elevator.

"It's not that I want him dead.. it's just.. alot of people would be better off if he was.."

"Seems reasonable.. and I am sorry about before.. I really didn't expect you to be able to injure me, I got a little flustered and, missed.."

"You were aiming for my head?"

"What were you aiming for?" I looked to her..

"Ha.. touché. Well it's a good job we both missed then." Freya shrugged.. "When the elevator stops there will be a long hallway, near the end is a door with two guards standing outside. I will distract the guards and you go and do what you do.."... 'What I do?' .. Does she just see me as a killer.

"Okay then.." I stretched out my neck and shoulders, preparing for the epic battle that Roman and I will have in just minutes. Only one of us will survive the night, isn't that a grand thought. Finally the elevator stopped, I stepped to the side as not to be seen..

"This is going to be harder than I thought.." Freyas voice was a panicked whisper as she spoke to me without moving her head.

"What is it?"

"He's standing outside his door with Kyle and Folie"

"Have they seen you?"

"No.." She answered and I pushed her to the side, taking her place and shoving her out of view..

"Change of plans then.." I pressed the button for the ground level and jumped out.. The doors closed on the confused girl and I turned around. While I began the walk towards Roman and his two guards I was surprisingly calm.

NOTES-

As always I hope you have enjoyed reading!! Thank you for your continued support, honestly that is what drove me to write another chapter. Truthfully I have been a little preoccupied with yet another story idea. Maybe I should just focus on one but I can't.. my bad I'm sorry. In the end you can decide what you want to read more of, is that not better? I don't know. Anyway thank you so much for the powerstones, I really appreciate every one!! Take care guys, stay safe and remember to smile because apparently it makes you happier.. that was random, anyway.. Peace.

Hey just a little notice, at some point in the future I might stop posting on webnovel, lately I've been hearing some pretty shady things. This could dissipate into nothing but I just wanted to put this out there.. if you know of any good sites or apps I'd appreciate you letting me know :)

P.S. If you wanted to check out the other story it's called 'Can we start over' ...

I'm so bad at naming stories, and I always say, 'I'm gonna change it' but then never do..

I'm inconconsitent, indecisive and impulsive.. what a marvelous combination. And you didn't need to know that but now you do... okay I'm gonna stop now.. bye.


Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Notice- I've read through it now :)..

(If you have no idea what I'm talking about don't worry about it :D. )

UNEDITED-

Marisol POV-

"Change of plans then.." I pressed the button for the ground level and jumped out.. The doors closed on the surprised girl and I turned around. While I began the walk down the hall towards Roman and his two guards I was surprisingly calm.

None of them spotted me until I was half way down the hall, about twenty feet from them. One of the guards glanced over and had to take a second look.. "Is she supposed to be up here?" He asked whilst keeping his eyes on me, the other two looked over..

Romans eyes grew wide and then quickly filled with rage.. "Lilith.. " He spat through gritted teeth. "I wondered what the noise was.. I didn't expect it to be you."

"The winged one?" The other guard looked to Roman and back to me.. probably questioning how I can be a winged one if I don't currently have wings.. He raised his gun cautiously..

"Kill her.." Roman spoke as if he didn't know why they weren't already trying.. The first guard to see me raised his automatic rifle..

My huge ebony wings opened wide as I looked across the three of them.. "I'll kill you all if I have to.." I don't want to but needs must..

"What are you waiting for?!" Roman shouted slapping the guard who just stood watching in awe.. The two guards both pulled their triggers, my wings closed around me just in time.. I would love to say that it was a thought out decision but often they just seem to have a mind of their own.. simular to if someone throws something to you, you automatically try to catch it.. The two men continued to unleash round after round, at least sixty each before I heard the last bullets leave their chambers..

I opened my wings slighty to get a peek at them.. Roman seemed to be angrier than ever. "Imbeciles!" He screamed and ran towards me at full speed, which was faster than I could see.. We both went tumbling backwards. Somehow whilst exchanging blows I manged to roll on top of him, one of his hands grabbed the bottom of my face as he tried to snap my head backwards.. When he realised that wasn't working he brought his hand away and returned a clenched fist back to the same spot. It sent me backwards lying flat.. He crawled on top of me and managed to strike two more heavy blows to my face, I watched it morph into a blade as he was about to bring it down again, somehow I managed to grab onto his forearm and I pulled him into me as hard as I could. My teeth sunk into his neck tearing a couple chunks away.

A searing pain stabbed through my stomach forcing me let go of Roman, he immedietly pushed off of me and was stopped by the wall where he just sat, both hands were now long black blades.. one dripping with my blood. His hands quickly went back to normal, he used one to try and keep the blood from pouring out of his wound. Jet black liquid pooled down from his mouth as he just stared at me.

I wiped my mouth on my sleeve before clumsily getting to my feet.. The pain in my stomach is agonising, I can feel the blood soaking my clothes, as well as the blood seeping out of various gashes over my face.. I glanced over to the two guards, each one just stood like statues with mouths agape..

Roman was still looking up at me.. not arguing, or fighting. Completely helpless. This is what I wanted right?.. Of course it fucking is. This is a monster among monsters and I truly belive that he deserves to die.

I pulled him to his feet with my hand wrapped around his blood soaked throat using what little energy I had left.. He opened is mouth in pain and then I opened mine. A deep red light formed in his throat and began to trail into my wide open mouth. Just as I was about half way through a net was thrown over me, breaking me away from him. This wouldn't have been a problem, only the net is metal and highly electrified. What was left of the light slowly entered Roman where he took in a deep breath. His eyes stayed closed and he slowly sat there dying.. Seven guards stood over me, a good few minutes past of me fighting to stay awake before I finally lost consciousness. I even heard one of them ask.. "How long is this supposed to take?"

"Sol?!" I heard a familiar voice cry out in the distance. "Sol where are you?!" I felt my eyes open but everything was still pitch black.

"August?!" .. "Auggy is that you?!" I called back.

"Sol I need you.." I heard the sorrow in his voice, it brought a dark shadow over my heart.

"Auggy I'm here!.. I'm going to find you I promise!.." .. " Auggy?..Auggy?!"

"Wake up Lilith.." Something jabbed my forehead.. "Wake up!" A hard slap across the cheek made my eyes shoot open. I came face to face with a giant, his shiny bald head and half a beard.. The left side of his face was scared, like he'd been caught in a fire.

My whole body is contained in a thick metal shell.. the only thing poking out is my head. I can still feel my blood running down my stomach, soaking my trousers.. I'm sure it's reached the knee of my right trouser leg.

"Do you think I'm pretty?" He asked in his deep voice, so low that it rumbles in your chest. I must have been staring.

"Everyone has a type.. you're not really mine." I replied casually. He looked at me seriously for a moment before he burst out laughing.

"Ah ha ha ha.. you're funny.." But it wasn't a joke? I'm confused...

"What am I doing here?"

"You're about to be publicly executed.." He smiled..

"And what are we waiting for?" I asked and his smile dropped. I only said that to wipe the smug look off his face.

"Everyone to get seated.." Who is everyone?

Just as that thought crossed my mind a middle aged woman with brown greying hair walked into the dimly lit cell. "It's time.."

Is this how I end?.. I promised August I would find him.. maybe I should have done that instead of this. But now is not the time to dwell on regrets.

The man looked to her and nodded before turning back to me.. he didn't say anything.. he just ushered to two burly men that I didn't see were behind me in the cell. They each grabbed a handle on the metal chamber that imprisoned me.. I wobbled as they lifted me into the air and began to carry me out of the cell.. past all the other cells that were clearly used as bedrooms. We went around a corner and into a huge hall that was filled with easily a hundred people..

A good few of the men dressed in suits the rest wore casual clothes. Most of the woman dolled up with short provocative dresses, skirts, make-up and high heels. They sat on rows of chairs facing the front, each one had their eyes glued on me as I was carried up onto the stage. It was hard not to notice the different physical mutations that were present, some had tails, others with orange eyes, purple, and pink. A few with various shaped horns on their head and some of them even had different coloured skin.. My eyes locked with a girl that was completely covered with what looked like the scales of a crocodile. She looked away and I carried on scanning the crowd.

The men sat me down and walked off stage. My attention shifted to a tall muscular man wearing a grey suit that snuggly fit his biceps and a dark blue tie, he nodded a greeting as he walked past them and stood next to me with a microphone in hand.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen.. thank you all for coming-"

"..'like we had a choice.." I heard a woman whisper under her breath as he paused.

"We have been brought together to witness the execution of the winged one known as Lilith."

"Do all of you really think I deserve to die because I tried to kill a monster?"

"You eat your own kind, you devour souls and yet I'm the monster?" Roman spat from where I now saw him, sat in booth at the back above everyone else.

His neck looked healed but his eyes were tired and I could sense a weakness in him, it was almost like he'd aged ten years. "Me being a monster doesn't take away from the fact that you're one.. if I deserve to die then so do you.."

All of the peoples eyes grew wide with shock, some of them began chattering amongst themselves, too many for me to be able to hear any specific one.

"Enough!" He shouted and coughed twice because of it. "Just get on with it.." He gestured forward with his hand.

I heard footsteps walking up behind me.. then I saw him, long ragged hair and a scruffy beard. A scar that cuts straight down from his cheek through his lips to his chin.. Marcus?. My eyes widened in shock at my father weilding a giant double-sided axe. His eyes met mine and he looked away, realising exactly who he was about to execute.. I saw the many thoughts flash through his mind by his facial expressions, he seemed to be a bit flustered now. His eyes met mine again and this time he was calm.

He stood by me and raised his axe.. "Whatever happens, just know that I've always loved you Marisol.." He whispered before swinging down hard, he cut through the six padlocks that ran down one side of the chamber I'd been locked in. As soon as he did I kicked the front of the metal chamber open and stepped out of it, the contraption fell backwards hitting the deck with a loud thud. My father turned around waiting for what comes next.. my wings opened up and I flew straight to Roman who was already trying to run from the room.

Romans two body guards stood infront of him with rifles aimed at me, I closed my wings and walked to them as they fired their guns.. As soon as they ran out I was close enough to grab one and throw him as hard as I could into the other.. I concealed my wings and ran at lightning speed, meaning Roman is now running at regular speed. I caught up to him in seconds and clumsily tackled him to the ground.. My ability to fight is being affected by the amount of blood I'm still loosing.. despite the pain and the fog in my mind I squeezed my hands around his throat, finally after twenty seconds or so I watched the life drain from his eyes..

I slowly removed my hands from his neck and stumbled off of his body.. as my eyes traveled upwards I saw Alex drenched in black blood.. standing ten feet away with a look of sadness. That's all I saw before my eyes rolled to the back of my head and everything went black.

"Sol?!" August shouted in the darkness.. "Sol I need you!.." .. "Ahh!" He began screaming in pain, screaming my name over and over..

"Auggie?!.. Auggie?! Auggie!!!"

"Sol.." I felt a gentle hand rest on my shoulder.. "Sol.. it's Alex.."

I groggily opened my eyes and looked to her, sitting in a seat beside the bed I'm laid in. I looked down to see myself dressed in a hospital gown. "Alex?.. what happened? Where are we?" I asked in a hoarse voice trying to sit up..

"We're safe don't worry.." She took her hand back and looked to the door and back to me.. "We're still at Romans compound.. Everyone started fighting eachother, Romans followers were wiped out pretty quickly.. surprisingly there weren't many.."

"So it's really over?"

"Yes.. it's really over.." She smiled warmly.. before it dropped and she furrowed her eyebrows. "I'm still mad at you for leaving me! Why would you do that? We had an agreement."

"Everything still worked out didn't it?"

"You nearly died.. and all to take Romans power. I can't believe you would be so reckless.."

"Really? You can't believe it? and anyway.. wait. How do you know I took Romans power?.." I asked with a confused expression and she pointed to the top of my head.. My hand traveled up there where I felt a small curved horn purtruding from the top of my forehead, I checked and it was the same the other side.. "What the fuck?.. but Roman didn't have horns?"

"He did.. But he was also capable of.. how do you say it? shape-shifting?" I looked at her confused.. what are the limits of this shape-shifting..

"What else could he do other than make his hand a sword and hide his horns?"

"You really want to talk about this now?"

"No, you're right I'm sorry..." I forgot that he is still her uncle, and I'm asking her exactly what I gained from his death. Despite the fact he was evil she seemed to be close to him. "I'm sorry you had to see what I did.."

"Don't apologise.. I know you have your reasons, you are your own person and you can make your own choices.. but next time please don't leave me out of it. Do you know how scared how scared I was? You are never leaving my side again.."

I smiled to myself and then sighed.. "Don't be so sure about that.."

"What? why?" She furrowed her eyebrows again..

"I'm not going back there Alex.. I have to find August.. I have to make sure he's safe.."

NOTES-

Thank you so much for reading!!

I love reading any feedback, your reactions are priceless and they honestly make it so much more worth it. But that is not to say that I wouldn't still write without them as I have done previously for however long my other book has been out. Anyway you probably get what I'm saying since I have explained myself over and over by now. Have a lovely day/night whatever it is I hope you enjoy it!! I tried to read this back and I'm so tired I can't tell if I make sense or sound like an idiot. Regardless. Peace and Love guys.. take care.
