Till the Bitter End

Chapter 2

Sara sits on the ground of the med bay head against the cot bishop's dead body lay. Sara is fixated on the blood dripping from his death bed coating her and the surrounding floor

She knew she was capable of this, but she thought she was past all the assassins crap.  

Sara tucks her knees into her chest and wraps her arms around her legs trying to keep calm....but it was so much blood. The smell was suffocating making  it hard to take deep breathes and stay calm or come up with a plan of action. Tears slide down her face and she goes to wipe them but ends up wiping bishops blood across her face. She starts to hyperventilate and become aware of the true weight of her actions. She stands up quickly, to quickly causing her to slip on the puddle of blood and tears hurting her shoulder. Sara slowly crawls out of the puddle clutching her shoulder and whimpering. 

She slowly drags her body across the med bay and props her back against the wall parallel to bishop. So much is going through her head she has now lost focus on her dislocated shoulder.

She knows someone will find her any minute and she won't be able to explain. What would she say "The knife slipped" or "He fell on my knife"  she laughs and cries clinging to the wall. She wanted to marry Ava, Sara had proposed and they were getting married...it's like she stabbed her in the back.

It isn't until a couple hours later she heard Behrad calling for her, followed by Nate asking Gideon where she was. Gideon hesitates "The med bay". 

"Babe, we were-" Ava stops talking when the doors slide open.

She looks up trying to hold in her tears and not make eye contact with any of the members of her crew.

Silence lays heavy in the room.....they probably thought she was a monster

Against her will, tears pour from her eye.

"Sara" Ava kneels down beside her.

Sara won't look down at Ava she cannot bear to look her in the eyes.

"Sara please" Ava begs

She lifts her head down to see her crew terrified, but of course they were it looked like the Texas chainsaw massacre in here 

She finally lets her eyes meet Ava 

Her eyes a mixture of fear and sorrow.

"I'm so sorry" Sara chokes out "It's all my fault"

Then Sara looks down trying to avoid the looks of sorrow, disappointment ,and horror. 

Ava tries to put her hand on Sara knee, but Sara moves away and yelps in as she moves her hurt arm.

"Sara what happened to you arm" Ava looks at her shoulder 

"I slipped" She whispers

"Sara let me help you pop it into-" Ava starts looking at Sara with hurt eyes.

"I'm fine" Sara wipes her eyes and stands up "So much for reformed assassin" she laughs and cries popping her shoulder back into it's socket 

Sara walks to her room she hears the others following her but she doesn't care. 

She plops down on her bed covering the comforter in blood but Sara didn't care she just wanted to lay down and cry.
