Fatal Lies [#wattys2018]

Ch.26||Tragedy

I must've fallen asleep, because I jolted awake when I heard a loud crash from outside.
I blink my eyes several times in the dim light to let my eyes take in the surrounding,the room at no Windows so I couldn't tell if it was day yet.
Jenelle had her head resting on the wall, eyes closed. She looked drained and worn out.
Of course I felt the same way, but the crash outside seem way more interesting than my tiredness right now.
I heard shouting and strained my ears to hear who it was.
"Angel!can you hear me!",the familiar voice of zion came from down the hall.
But that wasn't possible,Zion couldn't be here,could he?.

"Angel!",he shouted again,now I was definitely sure it was him.
"Zion!.. Is that you?",I called back.
I heard running footsteps getting closer and closer.Not long the door busted open and a weary face Zion stood there,looking all godlike even tho he had sweat forming on his forehead and he was trying to catch his breath, all in all, he looked great.
I know I shouldn't have been thinking like that in this kind of situation but damn did he look hot.
"Angel",he smiled,letting out a sigh of relief.
He walked across to me and taking a blade from his pocket,cut the ropes keeping my hands in place.
"How did you find us?",I asked him.
"We picked up on the location when that dickhead made the call",he replied hastily, cutting the last rope.
He then went across to Jenelle, slowly shaking her, so that she stirred awake as he cut the ropes from her hands.
She was weak. I could tell because she had lost a lot of blood then I did.
"She can't walk, she's lost a lot of blood",I informed him.
He just nodded and lifted her up,making her lean on his shoulder.
"We should get going,I just knocked them out and came in, they should be awake soon",he said, walking forward as I followed closely behind.

We came out in an hallway that went both ways.
"This way",he huffed.
Although Jenelle looked skinny, she sure had a lot of weight.
We walked, Jenelle limbing, down the left side of the hallway. This place looked like some manufacturing factory or something. I was going to mention that to Zion but he seem stressed under Janelle's weight that I shut my mouth and just followed.
We hadn't even made it far when gunshots were heard on the far side.
Zion put Jenelle down and turned to me.
"No matter what happens, stay down",he instructed,taking a step in front of me,as tho he was protecting me.

Running footfalls could be heard,apart from the shouting. Not long the door leading to the other side busted and about seven men came running in.Five chasing the other two.I guessed that the two where some of Zion's companions.
I made sure that Jenelle was completely hidden, then sneaked a peak from where I was hiding.
The place was a chaotic mess. The two men were fighting with four other men,but my eyes didn't linger on them,they raked the place and it fell on the familiar back of Zion.
I watched as he punched his opponent. His opponent was a foot taller then he was and he looked like he'd been punched in the face a zillion times.
The man swinged a punch at Zion, throwing himacross the room.
I winced as he hit the floor.
The man advanced on him as he tried to get up.He kicked Zion in the rips and I thought I heard some bones crack.
My heart was breaking, he was going through all this because of me.

I watched as he spit out blood and stood up.
"Come on!,scared are we?",the man mocked him.
He found his balance and circled the man, throwing in little punches, missing the man.
"Is that all you got?",the man laughed.
Zion did the most peculiar thing, he smiled,then ran straight for the man tackling him down with a lot of boxes that were on the shelves against the wall not far from where Jenelle and I were.
With the man down,he started punching him in the face.
I shift my focus to the other two men, they had two men down and now were in a fist fight with the other two.
I return my gaze to Zion,he was still punching the man like there was no tomorrow.
Suddenly, the man flung Zion out of his way. I wasn't expecting that.
He stood up and took Zion but the neck, pinning him to the wall.
I could see Zion breathing lesser and lesser, I couldn't take it anymore, I looked around and saw a brick lying down not far from me.
Picking it up,I ran straight for the man holding Zion against the wall.
I threw the brick as hard as I could and watched it flying through the air making impact with the man's head.
He fell down, taking Zion with him.
Zion came up and started punching him unconscious.

At that moment my eyes caught a swift movement from the other group fighting, the other man had gotten rid of Zion's companion and now he held a gun pointed at Zion's back, I was gonna warn him, but too late he fire.
"Zionnn!!",I screamed, throwing myself in front of him.
A sharp pain passed through my flesh  as I fell down and I saw red.

"Angel! Please wake up",I heard Zion pleading,as he held my hands,entwining our fingers.
I slowly opened my eyes, but I couldn't see his angelic face,my vision was blurred,so I closed them.
It hurt alot,my whole body felt like it was on fire and every minute I took in less air.
"I...I..ca..n't breat..h",I heard myself say in croaky voice.
"Take it easy baby, we're getting there",he cooed softly, brushing hair from my face.
"I can't breath",I repeated.
"What do you mean?"
"I love you",I smiled,feeling life slip out of my hands as they became numb.
"So much,remember that".
"I love you too",he replied,kissing my hands.
"Promise?",
"I promise, always and forever",he replied.
And then everything became numb, and I felt the last hope of life in my body leave and darkness evolved me at last.
