Love & death: Feel it all

Any last words?

"I expected more from you Svetlana." Bill says with a smirk. I feel the adrenaline pumping in my veins now. I knew Svetlana and Brad wouldnt have a chance against Bill and Tom. Though Georg doesnt look so happy sleeping on the cold stone floor. He'll be fine soon.

There's something incredibly attractive about the way Bill and Tom just killed them all in the matter of two minutes or less. In this moment, I can't help but try to imagine how my life would be if I managed to get them to both be mine. That I didn't have to choose one or the other but both. Is that even possible?

"From someone who actually made us worry and get all stressed out about our child getting kidnapped... I would have thought you had an entire plan for when we finally figured you out." Tom continues from where Bill left off. The way both of them speak with such certainty and so assertive makes me more weak than Svetlana's threats ever could.

"We do have a plan." Svetlana says as if that plan would matter after all her men are dead.
Bill scoffs and puts his (probably empty) gun in the holster, slowly walking closer to Svetlana, Brad and me.

"You're plan seems so have failed miserably since all of your men are dead." Bill says, Tom following him closely. I know I should be thinking only about getting out of here and getting my baby back, but all I see is how sexy both of them are.
They look like shit, with blood slowly coming through their shirts from wounds, dirt and sweat and everything else piling up on their faces and bodies, but I've never wanted to fuck them as much as I do now.

"Nice to see you again Brad. I thought youd left me. You do know I'll kill you now right?" Tom says, now being right beside Bill and right in front of Svetlana and Brad almost like a shitty Western.
Bill takes a peek over at me and smirks. Even though I haven't been in this basemenr for long, I missed it. Mostly the certain look on his face. He really believes that we're gonna get out of here in one piece and will be happy. And his smile makes me believe it too.

"Fuck." Svetlana mumbles. In any movie, that wouldnt have happened. The moment the villain realises they have been defeated. But it does in real life. Bill takes his gun back out and slowly reloads his gun while looking into Svetlanas eyes and smirking. Its so fun to see her face follow his every movement, knowing that the gun hes holding is going to kill her and theres no way out.
Brad on the other hand doesnt look at scared. Maybe he still believes theres a way out, unlike Svetlana.

Bill points the gun at Svetlanas head being only about five inches from touching her forehead.

"Any last words?" Bill asks, just like in a movie while Tom points his gun at Brad with a less triumphant look. He might not be too excited about shooting his left hand man.

"Remember me the way i was when you met me, Scarlett. This wasnt how i wanted any of it to end. I just wanted to show you the real world. This isnt the real me. You know im a nice person." Svetlana says, turning her head a little as she speaks. Her expression has changed into something more sad or nostalgic. Shes trying to manipulate me into letting her get out of here alive.
She might be telling the truth, who knows. Either way, she has to die. And so does Brad.

"Shoot the fucker." I spit, starring right into Svetlanas eyes. Her face turns to anger, but before she can turn or run away, a bulldt flies from Bills gun straight through her head and she falls immediately. Not even a gurgle or a warning.

Brad watches her go down as if it was in slow motion. He doesnr even seem to care much about his associate laying dead on the cold floor. Bitch.

"I really didnt wanna have to do this Brad." Tom said, looking and sounding emotional. I understand, but he really just needs to get this over with. Brad is bigger than any of us and would make Tom into a pancake if he jumped him right now. Just do it...

"I'm sorry boss. I just... she made me understand the world. She made me believe you were unhealthy for me..." Brad says but Tom interrupts him.

"Of course we are, but shes even worse apparently. But... done is done. No going back now, ill have to find a new left hand man. Bye bye." Tom says, changing expression again into something without any emotion at all. He pulls the trigger and Brad tries to run but the bullet is faster. He only gets about an inch to the right of him before the bullet goes through his head and he falls, joining Svetlana on the floor.

Quick as lightning, Bill runs over to me, pulling out his pocket knife and sitting down on his knees in front of me.

"Sorry it took so long. Are you hurt?" Bill asks as he cuts off the strings around my wrists.

"Only on the back of my head but its fine. Its not serious. But you... are you okay?" I ask Bill, trying to make eye contact with him. Then I think of Tom. I saw blood and bandages on him. What happened to him? I look up when Bill answers. I make eye contact with Tom who just stands and watches me like hes never seen me before.

"Im fine. Ask Tom about him though... he has a nice bedtime story from now on. Cat is gonna love it." Bill says sarcstically as he moves on to the strings around my ankles.
I look at Tom, my eyes asking him the question.

"Im fine now. Lost some blood, got some memories added to my trauma list and i saved our daughter. Saving her makes up for the pain." Tom says, his smile evolving as he talks about our daughter.
The relief pours out of me. I cant hold it back. I just start crying. Any normal person would have already been crying just knowing they got kidnapped, but me crying... here?... thats unlike me. Must be hormones or something.

Tom stumbles over to me quickly and picks me up from the chair, holding me tightly in his arms. I press my cheek against his chest and wrap my arms around him. I breathe in his scent and cry against his body. I dont even realise how strange it must be for Bill to just stand and watch us right now.

I pull myself away from Tom just a little so I can look at Bill. He doesnt actually look angry. Maybe a small bit jealous, but not what id expected. Did they make a deal or something weird? What have i missed?

"I thought youd be jealous... because im... hugging Tom." Once it comes out of my mouth, i realise how stupid it sounds but Bill just smiles at me like im a dumb child. Its strangely comforting.

"No... ive realized that you really do love him. And... you have a daughter together. That bond must be different than the way you love me. I get it. Its okay." Bill says, looking at the floor. I have a feeling that he thinks i have chosen Tom now. That the hug meant i choose Tom over Bill. It sure sounds like it.

I push myself away from Tom, now only thinking about making Bill understand my feelings and my choice. I cant choose between them. I need them both.
