16. Preparations
You enter the ladies room by bursting through the door. You pant and squeeze your shut. Gritting your teeth you try to hold back your tears.
You shuffle over to the sink and place your hands on the edges, holding you steady.
You look up at your reflection in the bathroom mirror. Tears stream down your face, your face is puffy red.
'You are so weak....If you had been faster, you could've helped him....Take it like a good girl...' The voice rings through your head.
'You can't save him anymore.....It's too late....COME BACK !'
You can't take it anymore. You look yourself in the eye and you scream. Your right fist swings out fast, shattering your image into little pieces.
You hold your hands in front of your face and you lean your back against the cool surface of the wall next to you.
You slide down the wall and cry silently.
Meanwhile....
Piers P.O.V.
I look after her as she storms out of the room. "Was that really necessary ?" I ask the man seriously.
"I needed to make sure she tells the truth." he answers indifferent.
"I swear to god, if anything happens to her just because you didn't believe her-"
"Piers !" Chris calls and holds me back by my arms. I didn't even realize how near I've gotten to the man. I concentrate on my breathing. Chris leans in and whispers "Go after her."
I give him a questioning look, but he only nudges his head in (y/n)'s direction.
I give him a nod and glance at the man one last time with a disapproving look.
I run after (y/n). 'Where the could she be ?' I run a hand through my hair.
Just then I hear a scream and shattering noise from the ladies room. '(y/n)...'
I sprint to the noise, burst into the ladies room, not caring for any pleasantries.
There she is. Her hand bloody. The mirror is broken. 'Was that her ? What happened ?'
Your P.O.V.
The door bursts open, but you don't bother to look up. The fear is too present that it could be him.
But once you hear Piers' voice saying your name in calm manner, you try to hide yourself even more.
"Go away..." you mumble, but you are sure he heard it. You don't want him to see you like this...again. You still wanted to be strong.
"(y/n)..." The sniper walks near you. He slides down next to you and puts his arms around you.
"You are not alone. We are with you and he won't get you again. I promise." Piers encourages you and hugs you tighter.
A few days later....
*Held down, you've held me down too long.
Push me back on the ground, now it's my time to right your wrong.
Shut up, this is my turn now.
You're just the hypocrite that's always tried to put me down.
Take, take, take from me, that's all you ever do.
You've taken everything, now I'm taking part of you.
Run, run, run from me, it's too bad you can't see.
I've got you in my sights and I'm ready to unleash.
I'll take time to breath.
Now, now that I see.
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me,
But this is the moment, it's time you know it.
I'm gonna make you my enemy. *
The music plays in the background.
You punch the sandbag harder with every line of the song. Even though you are just wearing shorts and a tank top you are sweating. Your hands are hurting, but you don't care. You are too much into it.
Kick. Punch. Kick. Kick. Step back. Drop kick. Flip back. Jump up. The final punch breaks the chains holding the sac. No wonder, considering you tortured that poor thing for over 5 hours. You land back on your feet.
"Gonna clean up later !" You shout in Chris' direction, who was standing there the whole time.
After a good shower you meet up with Mariella.
Training the pack with Mariella is pure luxury since you are only giving orders. Today you want to train the most epic thing to scare an intruder. Your goal is to let the pack walk behind Mariella in a queue and on a hand gesture they spread on each side, still walking behind her. Big goal, but it'll be worth it, especially since it already works with you.
"OK...now walk and whistle them to follow you." You say to Mariella. She does as she is told.
"Good. Now give the sign." You wink at her. Wanting to look as epic as possible, she raises her arms parallel to the ground. And it works. Conveniently the wind blows right in your both face, making it more epic.
"Ok. Now bring them to a halt." you order.
She raises one hand above her head and slows down, the dogs lining up her.
"Not bad." Chris says to Mariella. 'My god, where does he appear from anytime ? It almost scares me to death every time.' you wonder.
"Don't say that to me, (y/n) trained them. I just made the moves she taught them."
"You are both good." Chris adds with a charming smile. "But I have to take (y/n) now. We need the information to plan the attack." He turns to you.
You wave Mariella and the pack, knowing that Mary will bring them back to your tent.
"Whenever you are ready (y/n)." Chris says. You are standing in front of the meeting room.
You take a deep breath "Just get it over with." you mumble.
You speak up louder "OK. I remember that I've been carried through the front door. But I think this isn't an option." General chuckling fills the room, relaxing the atmosphere a bit. You also chuckle a bit and you feel a bit easier.
"I caught a glimpse of the roof. Like the picture shows, it is flat. During my escape I crossed a stairway. I decided to go down, but there was a way up. I assume it leads to the roof. And that means there has to be a door." you finish you Sherlock-like conclusion.
"That's good (y/n)." Chris says. "Do you remember anything on your way there ?"
You slump forward, steadying yourself by hands on the table. You close your eyes and the memories flood your mind.
You wince at the light headache.
"OK. I think that's enough for her." Piers now interrupts.
"But we have to kn-"
"No. Don't you see her ? She's in pai-"
"STOP IT ! Both of you..." You now speak up.
"I'm trying to remember here something. Jeez...." You hang your head lower.
"I saw a few guards. Heavy armor. They carried something. Glass cubes or something. It looked like some kind of jelly in it. Aah-" You can't take it anymore.
You slump forward. But two arms catch you around your waist, pulling you close.
"Ok...That's all I need. Piers, since you are already holding her, you are taking her back to Mary. We leave in 3 days. I'll tell you the plan tomorrow."
And with that all the soldiers stand up and leave. Piers picks you up bridal-style, earning a few raised eyebrows and a whine of protest from you.
"I can do that...alone." You whisper.
"Not this time. Especially after the training you did a few hours ago." The sniper smiles as he walks on.
"You saw me ?" You ask him confused. You didn't see him.
"Yes, I did. And you are not weak. Now stop doubting that. Just sleep."
You do as you are told and you fall asleep in Piers' arms.
