In disguise

Chapter 7 (by Praise)

They explained to me that they needed to kill an ambassador. Apparently he had refused to co-operate with them, but in my head I was thinking that, if I killed someone, my life would be destroyed again. I can't do that. I'd put all my energy into doing something but now someone or something was going to destroy everything into pieces again. Liam told me to do what they asked me to do. He said everything would be fine for me. I wanted to cry, scream and run far from this place.

That night, I didn't sleep, thinking over and over again about what they had told me. They said that they would give me material to use, and collect some documents, and a particular dress to wear that night. We needed to act next week - Saturday.

Saturday came faster than normal. We drove for an hour to a big building with beautiful lights. I dressed with the particular clothes I was asked to wear. I entered the building and slipped passed four big guys, three times bigger than me.
"For someone that's been hiding for three years, you still have the hand for this stuff." Liam said with a smile, Liam said with a smile, making me want to punch him so hard in the face.

We arrived in a room with a man sitting on a chair, waiting, as if he knew we were going to arrive. The man spoke with a loud and aggressive voice.

"I knew that you would come to kill me," he said, "but I am more intelligent than a group of vicious kids. I put three different types of bomb in this building."

"But all the people in this building and their lives. Don't you care about them?" I screamed.

"Don't worry, little girl. I already evacuated all the people in this building."

"But you are here, you are going to die in this place."

"No, no, no. You are going to die, not me. I am just a hologram."

Liam realised this just as the picture disappeared in front of his eyes.

"Run!" Liam screamed.

We jumped out of the window. When I woke up, I saw Liam laying in the crowd holding his chest. I crept slowly towards him as he woke up.

"I'm sorry for all this." Liam said.

"Are you happy for ruining my life again?" I replied.

"If I had know what would happen, I would not have found you." said Liam. "I regret what I did, arghh....."

"Don't die!" I cried.

He kissed me on the cheek.

"I am sorry." he said.

And then he died. I cried, but a voice in the back of my head said "Skylar, he is a jerk.".

I went to turn away, but as I turned around, someone grabbed me.

"Alex...A....Alex", I said, surprised. "...but you are dead?"

"No", he replied. "I woke up in a hospital after the shoot out. It took all of this time to find you, but now I will protect you, and make sure you are safe."

And then he kissed me, but this time on the lips. It all felt like this had been a dream.
