I heard Shay's scream and quickly ran to the side of the building. She was crouched over a lifeless Daeva, speaking to her.

I frowned and walked over to her, embracing Shay in a hug, having her lean her head into my shoulder.

"She wanted to be good." I whisper, while rubbing Shay's back.

"She saved my life." Shay looks over to Daeva and sighs. "She jumped in front of the bullet."

Taking a deep breath, I walk over to Daeva's body and kiss her forehead. Whispering a thank you and I wish it didn't end like this.

"We have to keep moving." I whisper to Shay, standing up.

She nods and runs forward, shooting three guards in the process. I guess she doesn't need guarding.

I run up the staircase, stabbing a guard in the neck, and shooting the other in between his eyes.

"ZACH." I hear a breathless Elizabeth say.

Looking over, I notice four guards where toppled over her.

"Shit I'm coming Elizabeth!" I shout running over.

It was too late. One had already grabbed a gun and shot her right in the chest. My heart constricted out of my chest.

Without thinking, I shoot all four men and run to Elizabeth. Blood was pouring fast out of her.

"Z-Zach." She chokes out.

"No no no no. Not you. You don't get to die." I frantically try to find ways to cover her wound.

"Please stop, there's nothing you can do." Elizabeth whispers.

Ignoring her, I look around for any sign of my doctors. There were none around, I shouted, but none came.

"Where are my damn doctors!" I slam my fist on the floor.

"Zach you were like the older brother I never had. You took me in from an abusive family and you made me into a stronger woman. Thank you so much for giving me a better life." Elizabeth reached up and cups my cheek with her hand.

I quickly brush it off and shake my head. She couldn't die. She's the closest sister I have since my family died. I can't lose her too.

"Elizabeth you are not dying." I say to her.

"Do we have a choice?" Tears formed in her eyes.

"Elizabeth oh my god." I hear Shay run over to her.

"Shay." Elizabeth smiles.

I walk away, searching for doctors or someone who could help in this situation.
