When Natania called me, before I picked up I had someone begin tracking the number. I kept it lively tracing until I saw them stop for a while, and they stopped in this suburban neighborhood that's in downtown Oslo. That's where he's keeping her. We've been setting everything up for hours, just to make sure there are no holes in our plan, and we also had to wait for the Tai's men.
Honestly, a part of me thought they wouldn't care... or that they were a part of this whole thing. But when Dad told them what happened, they went out of it. They're waiting in New York with my parents for an update.
"We need to head out. He's probably already planning to leave since he knows I'm gonna come for her." I say, strapping my vest.
"Make sure your clips are loaded, and you have a spare and blade. Anything could happen." Ana says, attaching her gun to her hip.
"You guys know the plan, right?" I ask.
They nod.

It's nightfall, and as we creep towards the house, there're men everywhere, just like I said.
"Team one and two, on my go ahead..." Ana says. She waits for majority of the guys to turn their backs,
"Now!"
My team heads straight for the front door as one and two keep Dom's men out of our way.
"Ana and Zay, come with me. Everyone else, go look for Dominic."
"Fuck, this house is huge. Are we ever gonna find her?" Zay mutters.
"Zay."
"Sorry. I'll check on the left."
"I'll go right, you take basement." Ana says.
I nod.
It takes me a minute to, but I find the basement. The door's open.
I take my shoes off so I can silently creep downstairs. As I get down there, I hear Dominic talking and I see my bellissima listening. She's locked up in a human cage.
She doesn't look at me, but she knows I'm here.
I slowly creep over to the side of the steps and grab the heavy, metal pipe and walk up behind him,
"So when I open this cage, we need to run. If you don't run with me, I'll have Blaze-"
I crack Dom against his skull, and he falls over slowly.
"Blade! Oh, my God, Blade!" my bellissima cries.
"I'm here, bella. I'm here." I walk over. "Stand back."
She moves as far back as she can in the cage, and I shoot the lock, so the chains fall. The door slings open, and she runs into my arms.
"I'm so sorry I let this happen to you."
"What? Blade, none of this was your fault." she cries against my chest.
I take a deep breath and pull her off, "let's go home, baby."
She nods and smiles, then heads for the stares. As we start walking up them, her eyes turn to terror and she points behind me,
"Blade!"
Two shots go off, and I end up falling down the wall.
I watch as Natania, almost on instinct, grabs my gun and she shoots Dom in the middle of his forehead. She empties the entire clip on him.
Then she crouches down to me,
"Blade. Blade, please. I-I'm gonna go get help, okay? Don't close your eyes."
I feel so heavy. My eye lids are caving in. My chest hurts.
I look down, and see blood spewing out of me.
"Wow," I laugh, "that's a lot of blood."
Natania crawls up the steps and shouts, "help! Blade was shot! Hurry!" then she comes back down to me.
She cups my face with her warm hands and turns my face to look at hers, "you better not die on me, Blaze. I mean that shit." she cries.
She finally got my name right.
"I didn't want to. I wanted to at least marry you first, but I don't think I see that happening. I'm cold." A tear falls from the side of my eye. "I think I'm dying."
Never in my life have I once feared death. I've come across it many times before, and I overwrote it. The idea of dying never crossed my mind, and I never really cared about it. So why is it hurting right now? The thought of not being able to wake up next to her is hurting more than the bullet that went straight through me.
"She grips my jacket and sinks into my chest, bawling her eyes out.
Ana comes running down, and she takes Natania off of me. My hearing goes out but I see Natania fighting to get back to me but Ana won't let her. Zay comes down to me, but my eyes close before I know it.
