Forever

~21~

Breathing heavily I look at William's dead self.

"I can't believe you killed him." I say as Jason makes his way over to me.

"Well, you better believe it." He says and I nod.

"Yeah, I know."

"Come on, let's get out of here." He says and I nod as we take off.

"They killed Will! Are you kidding me! Fine then you useless men!" I shout to my people staring down at Will's lifeless form.

"They can't be that far! Go go go! Now!"

My men all take off and I squat down noticing the burn marks on him.

"What the hell?" I mumble opening up his hand and seeing more.

"He was electrocuted, then the knife was thrown into his chest." I say standing up.

"She's more powerful then we thought! Stop at nothing to get her! Even if it means killing the man!" I shout and they all follow my order taking off.

"You're blood will be mine Skylar."

I stumble falling once again exhaustion clawing at me.

"Come on we gotta keep moving."

"I'm dehydrated and exhausted Jason. It's so hot, we need rest." I say on my hands and knees.

"They could be right behind us."

"I know, but we can do nothing unless we are rested. There's a hotel a few blocks away, we're going to it." I say and he nods.

"Ok fine."

I push to my feet and we walk on. The sun has long ago passed away but the heat is still there, and getting warmer as the night grows and it gets later.

I see the hotel and breathe in relief.

"God am I gonna sleep like a baby tonight." I say as we walk inside. We get in under fake names then are given our room key. Getting into the elevator we get out on floor two and walk to our room, 283.

I push open the door and sigh falling onto the bed.

"I'm gonna grab a shower." He says and I nod as he walks off.

God, he's acting weird again! And this time, I know killing William probably is a big part of it. I know what it was like for me killing my first time, and I know Jason. Sure he fights like hell but he's not a killer, sure, he acts like he is but I'm good at reading past what's being put up. He's not a killer. Too bad though, because when he's with me, death is all that follows. It just depends who throws the final blow. Us, or the enemy. We just happened to win this round.

I roll over onto my back and look up at the ceiling and go to grab for my necklace but remember, I gave it to a very special little girl. I drop my hand from my neck and a smile comes to my lips just from the thought of her. How big her eyes got when I gave it to her, the huge smile that covered her small face. She was so happy and it made me feel incredible to see this girl who's been through such hard times smile brighter, then I feel I ever could've if I had gone through what she had. It's truly amazing to know I had some part in that smile.

"Whatcha smiling about?" I look over as Jason walks out of the bathroom and I smile again.

"Annabelle." I say and he comes over to me.

"She's a very special girl, isn't she?"

"She is." I whisper touching my neck again where my necklace used to sit.
