I Work Alone

Chapter 4

Alaska's P.O.V.

I wake up and I have a huge headache. I sit up and look around to take in my surroundings. I'm in a dark cell that's really cold. I try to pull my arms closer to warm myself up but I realize they're chained above my head. Of course. There's got to be a way out of here. Where is here exactly? Anyways there's bars I front of me but concrete walls everywhere else. The person who put me in here hung my dagger from a rope just out of my reach, taunting me. I start to come up with a plan to get out but someone walks in. Nastia to be exact.

"What do you want." I almost growl.

"Oh nothing. Just to finish the job." She says coming closer to me. I stare her down and don't back away.

"Do it then." I say still looking in her eyes, "just do it. I'm helpless right I front of you. You got me."

"No, your precious friends need to see you suffer." She says and I scoff.

"They're not my friends. I'm just working with them, well was, to get you so I can get my revenge." I say and she laughs.

"Well that's not what they think." She says and opens her palm up towards the ceiling and a white glowing ball appears. A picture starts to show and I gasp. It's Arrow but he looks pissed.

Arrow's P.O.V.

I'm inside after Jacob ruined the moment. I sit down in a chair and sigh. I'm not supposed to get attached to her but how can't I? She's gorgeous and she is an amazing fighter. Where did that come from? Anyways I hear yelling outside and I get up to check it out but Jacob stomps inside and when he sees me he walks over fuming. What happened? She told me one thing but I'm sure she's lying."

"Woah dude, calm down. I went for a walk and came across her lying down thinking and I asked about her parents and she got all upset and I felt bad and so I told her about Jamie. I hugged her and we ran back here. I ran faster and tried to cut her off but she ran into me so I caught her and helped her up. Thats all." I say and walk away.

4 hours later

"Has anyone seen Alaska?" I ask to the guys because she hasn't come back from her run yet.

"No, you concerned boss?" I hear Alex say and I look over to see him smirking.

"No. Just wondering. We have another target tomorrow and I wanted to go over the plans one more time." I respond and internally sigh. That was close. Yeah I'm concerned. She's a nice girl and I know she can handle herself but- oh whatever.

"Arrow! I found this in the woods walking back from hunting!" I hear Daniel say while running inside. He handed me a peice of paper that had beautiful curly handwriting on it.

I knew someone of your goup Arrow Night would find this. So I know you're trying to hide the face that you have feelings for Alaska but I know better. She's much like your past love in looks and character. One thing that's different is that I have her now. Remember the story she told you about how her parents died? Or did you forget like you did today? Eitherway, I'm the person you've been searching for. You have a week until your friend or your love is eliminated. You decide what to do. You can either let her die or try and find me. Good luck.

~Nastia

After reading the note I was furious. I don't love Alaska that way. She's just a friend. I wasn't mad about that alone, I was mad at the fact that she was following us this whole time! I crumple it in my hand and through it on the ground and start to pace back and forth muttering to myself.

"So? What did it say?" Daniel says.

"You didn't read it?"

"No, I figured you'd want to first."

"You know the story Alaska told us about how her parents died? And how we're trying to find the murderer? Well the same person that killed her mom, took Alaska and said there's a week until she 'finishes the job'." I say and resume my pacing.

"Alaska can get out of this one by hersef." I hear Jacob say and I stop and glare at him.

"What did you just say?" I say calmly but the guys know that when I'm really pissed I don't yell, "She is one of us now, well for a little while, but nevertheless we take care of everyone on the team. Alaska isn't any different. Daniel, Will, my office now." I say and walk away from a silent group of guys. All I know for sure is that the Nastia bitch has got it coming for her.

Heyyyy! Chapter 4! Sorry it took me so long to update but I already have an idea for the next chapter. Will they get to her in time? Or will Alaska get out of this herself?
