|| Omg, it's the last chapter already T-T ||

And he was right, one of Louis' bodyguards turned around, immediately noticing Evie and Y/N, alerting the whole area about them. As a reflex, Evie screamed at Y/N to run to the carriage and flea to which the girl obeyed...

A fight ensues between Evie, Jacob and the bodyguards. At first, the two assassins thought it will be a piece of cake beating those two but they were wrong, so wrong. Those men were perfectly trained and countered all of the twin's attacks. Luckily for them, those men could not lend a hit as well.

As for Y/N, she was running as fast as she could, but soon was stop by blighter. Either Jacob and Evie did not kill every single one of them, or those who were nearby heard the man's whistle from earlier. Searching for a way to defend herself, she could not find her dagger, Louis must have made sure Y/N did not have it. But she was not about to back down, she was confident in Evie's training and was ready to fight. She dodged all the guy's blows while thinking of a way to harm him, then she saw a broken beer bottle and went to grab it. but as she bent down, her corset forbidden her from going lower, 'damn this thing' she thought while clenching her teeth, trying to bent lower. But as she was struggling, the other took this opportunity and grabbed her, putting her arms behind her and locking them so she will not be able to attack him. Slowly, he made her walk towards Louis while she struggles and once in view, the man yelled: "Boss! Find the little one trying to run away" this made the fight stop while Louis walked towards Y/N with a smile. Once his back was turned towards the twins, they took advantage of it and quickly killed the bodyguards who were not paying attention. 'rookie's mistake' thought Jacob before readying himself to jump onto Louis. But Evie stopped him and whispered "Don't! They can hurt Y/N" so he stayed put.

"Nice try but you can NOT run from me" Louis said, too close to Y/N's face as she can smell his disgusting alcohol breath. Then the ex-fiancée wrapped his left arm around her neck, head-locking her, as his other free hand holds a gun. Without hesitation, Louis head-shotted the blighter, then pointed the gun near Y/N's head. Clenching her teeth once more, she grabbed his left arm with her hands but she did not struggle, she knew he could shoot her. Louis then made her walk slowly towards the boat, facing the twins while talking to them: "I suggest you drop your weapons if you don't want Y/N to die"

Evie did not wait and dropped hers, putting her hands on her head signalling that she won't try anything stupid while Jacob clenched his jaw. Seeing her brother's hesitation, Evie asked him to do what Louis said and with a huff, Jacob dropped all his weapons: the cane-sword, his kukri and brass knuckles, even the throwing knives and gun.

Happy with the sight in front of him, Louis smiled, stopping his walking movements once he knew he and Y/N were on the ship. "Thank you both. I knew you wouldn't do anything to save her, you cowards. Now Jacob, your little girlfriend is mine and you can't do anything about i-" this time, Y/N had enough. How much he annoys her, and his voice is so frustrating, gosh. Only if he could shut up. Bending as far as she can (thank you corset), she braced herself for impact and head-butted him, breaking his nose and making it bleed in the process. Stunned, Louis stumbled backwards, letting Y/N and the gun go to hold his nose with his hand, screaming in pain. Y/N was proud of her move but did not waste any time as she took the gun he dropped, pointing it towards him.

"I've had enough Louis. You talking shit about my friends, about me and just about everything. You're a waste of air and space, you don't deserve to be alive you piece of shit" hearing Y/N curse shock the twins who looked at each other with widened eyes. Evie then decided to take back all her weapons, readying herself to help Y/N. seeing Evie's actions, Jacob copied her smirking to himself. He was proud of Y/N, and happy to have discover this side of her. The twins walked towards them, standing tall to intimidate the French banker. Breathing heavily, he answered: "how dare you speak to me that way, wench! I can ruin you and all your family if I want to, you-" he tried getting up but Jacob's foot was heavy on his shoulder. "You listen to the lady when she is speaking" Jacob basically growled at him.

Evie then putted her left hand on Y/N's shoulder and whispered protectively: "if you can't do it, leave it to my brother" but Y/N turned her head towards her friend, smiling and told her that she will do it. With that, she turned back to look at Louis, stopped smiling and talked with all the authority she can find: "Louis...last words?"

The man looked at her in the eyes and said: "you wouldn't have the nerve" smiling, Y/N shoot him in his thigh, making Louis whimpers in pain, "Yes I would" and with that, Louis was no more as Y/N shoot him in the head. Upon realizing what she has done, she dropped the gun and started hyperventilating before passing out in Jacob's arms, exhausted. The twin smiled at each other before taking Y/N out of here and back to the train hideout.

White...all the walls were white, as well as the floor and ceiling, it was almost maddening. And all Y/N could do was walk while screaming Evie's or Jacob's name. She felt tired, sweating all over and breathing heavily, her whole-body hurts and it was begging her to stop to take a rest or a nap, but she refused to listen: she had to find her friends and make sure they are fine, to make sure that Louis has left this world and is now rotting in hell. Y/N felt like she has been walking for hours but she continued whatsoever. After sometime, she finally saw a figure, looking a lot like Jacob from behind. Smiling in relief, she decided to use her last little bit of strength that was left in her and ran towards him. Tapping his shoulder softly while breathing heavily, the man turned around. It was not Jacob, it was Louis. Her smile fade instantly, her body tensing up, but the man was not breathing and his eyes were empty of any life. And his head, it had this strange red hole in it, it looks like blood was rushing down. Horrified, Y/N took some steps back when suddenly, Louis breathed in and talked: "So...you did it" then his body collapsed in front her. She was stunned, could barely believe what she was seeing, but at some point, she squatted down in front of him and placed two fingers on his neck, checking for any sign of life. But there was none, Louis was dead. Fully sitting down on the floor, she cried while smiling, laughing even. That bastard was dead, he was no more. Y/N then laid down and closed her eyes, a smile still on her face as she drifts off to sleep.

Sometime later, Y/N woke up with the sun fully up, she must have slept a long time. Observing her surroundings, still laying down on the bed. The place she was in looked very much like the train, especially Evie's carriage with the little chimney and the light blue armchair. Then she decided to check on her body: bandages were wrapped around her torso and stomach; she had bruises all over her arms and she could barely feel her legs. Sighing, she let her head flop back on the pillow and decided to close her eyes once more but just after doing so, Y/N heard the carriage's door opening. Trying to sit up in order to look at the person who just walked in, she realized her injuries hurt much more than she expected, hissing in pain while sitting.

Upon hearing Y/N, the person hurriedly placed the tray they were holding onto the nearby desk and rushed over to her side. Jacob's facial expression was soft, yielding worries in his eyes. Seeing his face, Y/N could only smile while a tear fell down her cheek. She was relieved, realisation of the situation finally hitting her: Jacob and Evie were fine, she did not go on that boat, she did not go back to France and married that awful man. But was he alive? She could not remember seeing his dead body, she could not remember seeing his soul leaving his body, maybe his death was all in her dream. Seeing her expression, Jacob placed his hand on her shoulder and softly asked her what was going on.

"Louis...Is he...Is he dead?" she was almost whispering but Jacob heard her and smiled reassuringly, "He is, love, he won't ever hurt you" Y/N sighed heavily, relieved once again. Jacob then proceeds to calmly explain to her what happened after Louis' death: how he carried her back to the train with Evie's help and how she was the one to take care of Y/N's injuries, she was now busy writing a letter to Elizabeth in order to tell her Y/N was fine, she also sent a Rook to deliver a message about the situation to Isaac. But Y/N could tell something else was on Jacob's mind, it was written all over his face.

"Jacob...there is something you wish to tell me, isn't it?" upon hearing her, he froze "I take that as a yes. Then please, do not hesitate", "No, it's not the time, you're hurt and still in shock of what happened...I...I do not wish to-" he stopped talking once he saw her expression: she was calm and smiling softly, a way for Y/N to say that she was ready to listen like that time on top of Big Ben. Jacob sighed, hanging his head low.

"Fine...I would like to talk about us" Y/N's eyes widened, she knew they had to talk about it at some point "After our fight, I...I thought, much against my will, about what you said, you know the soulmate thing..." Jacob was struggling to find his words, Y/N knows he is not the best with words, he much prefers showing what he fells and thinks with actions, but she was ready to wait. Jacob told her about all his been doing after the fight: busying himself with missions, brawls or drinking, how he tried to move on by seeing other girls but he could not bring himself to flirt with one that does not look like Y/N, and how he could only see her once he was with that girl. He also talked about how he searched for anything that proved her point on soulmates, asking Agnes and reading Henry's or Evie's books. As well as his growing feelings for Y/N, how he watched every training session, how he followed her everyday to make sure she was not in any danger, his jealousy, basically everything he did and felt. At first, Y/N was heartbroken upon realizing she putted him in such states but after listening to everything, she was the happiest: Jacob felt the same about her, he forgave her and he was ready to start over with her.

"So, what I'm saying, Y/N, is that I...I'm sorry about what I've said and done. Also, I forgive you for everything so let's put this behind us and let's start over. What do you say?" as Jacob took her hand in his, she looked at him with loving eyes and agreed with him. He finally laughed after so long and said: "Well then, hello to you, young lady, I am Jacob Frye, at your service. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

"Pleasure to meet you Jacob, I am Y/N"
