Riker's POV

I can't believe that Lucy would try and kill me. Why would she? I already know who wants me dead. I watch her talk on the phone with someone.

"Yes. I have him... No he is not dead... I didn't want to make a scene of it! okay okay bye" she says before hanging up. She walks over to me and crouches by my side. The tears are evident in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Riker" she says. "I never wanted to do this. Robert and Clara have my family they were going to kill them if I didn't kill you" she explains.

"So you are doing this to protect them?" I ask. She nods. "Did the feelings ever change? Do you hate me? Did you ever love me?" I question.

"Of course I love you! Riker I am stuck with a huge problem. Either kill the man that I love or watch as my family is killed in front of me" she snaps. Her head bows. "I'm sorry" she says as se starts to clean my wound.

"It's okay" I answer softly.

Lucy's POV

I can't do this. I can't. I am going to have to face them head first. After I clean Riker's side I know what I am going to do.

"Don't follow me" I say grabbing my jacket.

"Where are you going?" he asks.

"You don't need to know" I answer grabbing my pistol. I move back to him and softly kiss his lips. "I love you" I say before heading out the door.

"Robert can you and Carla meet me at the river? Okay see you then" I say before heading there. Heading to the end of everything.

~at the river~

"So what is it?" Carla asks.

"I can't kill him. I won't" I reply bravely.

"And why is that? do you remember what will happen to your family?" He asks.

"I know. I am asking no pleading to take their place. You kill me instead" I say kneeling and taking hold of my pistol.

"Very well then. If you insist" Carla smiles. Robert raises a gun and just as he pulls the trigger the sound of gunshot go off. Carla crumples and I stand.

"You will pay for that"

"She is not dead. I don't shoot to kill" I answer.

"But I do" he says as sirens are heard. I look around before feeling a searing pain in my side. I drop the pistol and fall to the ground. I watch as the blood starts to freely run.

I was going to die...
