Where The Bullet Lands

Cold Water

It's been 3 days and we're still stuck in here. Theseus, Deadshot, won't even look me in the eyes. Will has been basically tied to The Black Widow and I haven't seen Mary since they took us aboard the ship. I think they don't consider her a prisoner. I caught wind that we're docking today. They are getting more prisoners, today is my only chance. I continued to trying to mend the spur that The Black Widow gave me. I spoke to the other captives telling them my plans. They all used what they could find to make it into something useful. Today was my day. I couldn't believe that this was coming along so well, you'd think someone could of made it out who has been here before. This is too easy. Something else is going on. I felt like it all pointed to Deadshot. If anyone he would be the one to start the rebellion not be uneasy about it. I sat next to him. He looked terrible.

"Hey, how are you?" I frown and put my hand on his forehead. He looked sick.

"I haven't had a cigarette since 4 days ago" He shakes his head.

"I was going to give you this when we were safely off the boat" I smiled and retrieved the cigarette out of my pocket. He looked up at me and smiled quickly. "We need your help to get this rebellion started, just like that cigarette needs a fire to start it. You are our fire" I lay my head on his shoulder.

"You know what fire is known for? It destroys and it's uncontrollable. Just like me" He frowns.

"It's also powerful and beautiful, and it's bright" I smiled.

"You'll get burned if you get too close" He shook his head.

"Theseus, I am burnt, I've been burned my whole life, I even burn myself. The truth is, I need you. I..... Love you. You're the only one who has ever understood me. We can fix ourselves together" I began to tear up. He sat in silence. I stood up and walked away. I looked back at him, red with fury.

"You could of just said you weren't interested" I began to cry. But I told myself that I have to be strong. I have a rebellion to lead. I worked harder than before to bend the spur to my will. I beat it against the wall and finally got it perfect. I looked around at the people, my people. They were working just as hard as me. Someone even mined at their boot heel to make it into a stake like thing. Many of us will perish. That's the only thing I know is 100% correct. I'm making Will stay down here, he is safer that way, he is the only one down here without a criminal record. Speak of the devil. He approachs me.

"I can't stay down here, Black Widow taught me how to fight, and some other things" He chuckles.

"You can't come and you can't sleep with a murderer" I sigh loudly.

"You did" He glances at Deadshot. It takes me a second to respond.

"You can't fight with us, you'll die" I frown.

"I can do whatever I want" He gives me an angry look. He is like a hormonal teenage girl.

"Look I need you to watch Deadshot, I think he is conspiring against us" I lied He agreed quickly. What an idiot. I hear nearing footsteps. I give my men a signal. The second in command opens the ceiling. I am about to throw my spur when someone grabs me. It's Deadshot. He is trying to stop me from throwing it. Will grabs him and pulls him off. Will punches him hard in the face sending him down. He stays on the floor moaning. I throw it with excellent aim. It hits the rope on the pulley system. The ceiling gate goes limp and the sand bag lands directly on the second in command. My plan takes action. We began climbing out. Some people stand on each others shoulders and helped the other person up once at the top. Once I reach the top, I give Deadshot a quick glance. He is still unconscious. We were ready for the fight. No one else was on the deck besides us. No pirates. It's a trap. I suddenly see them. They are above us on the sails. They are picking us off slowly with their guns. Everyone runs for cover but there isn't any. After 5 are left that's including Me, Will, who didn't listen to me and fought anyways, Black Widow, Deadshot and a nameless face. He was the guy who carved his boot. A giant net falls around us. The captain unlocks his room and walks out smiling widely. He notions for his men to fall back. They pick Deadshot up and tie him to the mask pole that sits in the center of the boat. They tie us up, hands behind our backs and line us up.

"Thank you, Courtney" He smiles and flicks his wrist. They untie Black Widow and she smiles widely.

"Sorry hun, it was a trap, the whole thing" She chuckles.

"Miss Widow here works for me, this includes assassinations and tricking prisoners" He kisses her on the cheek.

"Why? Why not just kill us all before we even get on the boat" I shook my head angrily.

"Well, what fun would that be. Plus, if you didn't try to escape you get to live, my own sick game" He chuckles.

"Or for the ones that will bring in big bucks, I give them an deal. If they convince their friends not to rebel, then they walk away just fine. The other guy still dies of course, at the hands of the justice system. I also had Widow here monitor your conversations, if he told you, I would of killed you on the spot. Its my way for entertainment" He laughs loudly.

"Obviously, he failed" She has a thick New York accent. He was still unconscious. I was about to cry. I must stay strong, I won't cry in front of them.

"You do realize I can't die, neither can Will" I thought I had won.

"I can still throw you into the ocean" He cackled. Damn it. At least we could find land and free Deadshot. He lines Will, the criminal, and I up by the side of the boat. Will is first, he doesn't seemed phased. I think he sees this as escaping. The captain has his sword against Will's back. He applies a little pressure and Will falls forward into the water. I run to the edge and search for him. He surfaces, his smile wide. I am relieved. He points to a piece of land a little ways from our position. He began swimming towards it. Next the other criminal. He falls in, I could hear a distant scream. I look to Will and he is swimming peacefully. I realized that the criminal probably can't swim or was met with the fatal blow of another sea creature. The captain looks to me. He beckons someone to come and I realize his plan. He has a chain, with a shackle on it, and a cannon ball on the other end. He is going to sink me. He is going to sink me. If he does that. I'll be doomed to drown over and over again, forever. Deadshot becomes conscious again. They shackle it around my ankle. It doesn't take him long to realize what they're doing. He gapes in horror.

"You can't do this" He shouts. I smile at him, sadness spreads across my face. He began shaking himself trying to get free. Like someone tried to tie up a gorrila. He yells with frustration.

"Goodbye" I smile at him. He presses the sword on my back. I fall forward. In slow motion I see everything. The evil smile spread across the captains face. The bored look on Black Widow. A face surfaces behind them. It's Deadshot. A loud shot pulses through my ears. I hit the water. It surrounds me and I began to slip away. Someone grabs me. They are trying to swim upwards but, I'm too heavy. I open my eyes and see Deadshot. He stopped trying to swim and began to sink with me. He pulled me close and began kissing me. He held tight to me. Our lips moving in sync. He won't die with me. I let go of him. I swim back a bit and see the current above us. If I could get him into it. He'll be pulled right towards Will. I kick him hard in the chest he flies up ward into the current. He tried to swim against the current back to me.

"I love you" I mouthed to him. My vision began to fade. The last thing I saw was his pleading face.
