CHAPTER ELEVEN

a treachery

~

The blood pumped through his veins and rang in his ears. 

Miranda had finally fallen with the scream of her daughter's name. It was sad really, but with her descent to madness the only way out was death. 

Ethan felt a hand placed onto his shoulder and turned around to look at its owner. Heisenberg stood behind him.

"Didn't think you had it in you," Heisenberg dropped his hand, "Thought you'd tap out in a few seconds." 

Ethan offered him a small smile, "Who would be your backup if that happened?" 

"I think I would have been alright." 

The two stood in silence with the air of their victory clouding around them. 

"Karl!" 

The two men turned to the source of the sound to see Y/N running into the bloodsoaked battlefield. 

The woman continued running and didn't stop until she jumped into a certain ferrokinetic's arms. Heisenberg stumbled back a little with the sudden added weight, "Blossom?"

Ethan watched as the couple interacted together. Y/N was wrapped around Heisenberg like a koala, with her ankles crossed at the dip of his back along with her arms clasped around his neck. Heisenberg held onto her with a grip on her thighs and a hand on her lower back. Smiles painted both of their faces.

Heisenberg huffed and Ethan saw his eyes shift into a small glare, "I told you to stay in the factory." 

The young woman wiggled out of her husband's grip and stood in front of him, "I would die from worry if not the cold," she looked around the battlefield, "Seems like we don't need to worry about leaving now." 

A tall man in tactical gear ran onto the scene, "Ethan we have to hurry! The team and I are about to clear this area."

Y/N turned to look at Ethan, "What does he mean by that?" 

Chris stepped forward to answer her, "There is a bomb attached to the Fungus Root to finally get rid of Miranda."

Y/N narrowed her eyes at the man, "Who are you?" 

"All you need to know is that I am working with Umbrella and Ethan needs to come with me immediately." 

Ethan watched a fire glint in the woman's eyes. He quickly moved to deescalate the situation, "I can't leave without Rose."

Chris sighed and tugged on the strands of hair near the nape of his neck. "Then we need to quickly look for her around the wreckage," he ran a hand over his face before he looked behind Ethan. 

Ethan watched as his companion's brows furrowed before his eyes widened. 

Squelch!

He looked at the ground to his left to see the sudden sprouts of yellow daffodils. His eyes slowly trailed up to find the source of the surprising bouquet.
