You're Mine

Dead and gone...

**36hrs earlier**

Villanelle is happy with her work, she looks over the picture and notes the lifeless look in her eyes and how still she is. The photo is in a plastic bag, if they decide to dust it for prints only one set will be found. She turns and blows out a deep breath and turns to the two people on the couch.

"Well I guess Villanelle is dead" she says and lets out a small laugh. "Who do I get to be now?" she says and neither Eve nor Konstantin can answer her. "Great help. I guess I will have to go back Paris and look for another obscure name from a perfume bottle" she says, and Eve lets out a laugh at this and Konstantin turns and looks at her with a frown on her face.

"You need to be carful now. I cannot contact you once I take this to them. You must be a ghost" Konstantin says as he drains the last of his whisky and places the cup on the table. "Don't do anything stupid" he says to Villanelle and she smiles up at him and says

"I won't daddy. I'll be good, I promise" her voice is childish, and he shakes his head at her and turns to Eve.

"You keep an eye on her. Make sure she stays under the radar" Konstantin says to Eve and she nods her head without a word.

"So this is goodbye hmm?" Villanelle says and she pulls him into an awkward hug, and he lets out a small noise as he returns the hug. "Take care Oksana" he says softly, and she shakes her head as they part.

"She's dead too. Maybe I will call myself Eve" she says and hears a loud scoff from behind Konstantin and sees Eve laughing and shaking her head.

"God no. You need something much grander than Eve" she says and elongates her own name just as Villanelle would.

"Oh I know!" Villanelle says and jumps in glee like a child. She watches her audience and they both wait for her to speak. "Anna" she says and lets out a small laugh. Konstantin rolls his eyes as he walks past her and picks up the photograph and walks to the door.

"You should get moving soon. Head south, they won't look for you that way at first." He says and watches as Villanelle shakes her head.

"Oh no! We are going to Russia. I have someone I need to collect" Villanelle says, and she see Konstantin's eyes grow wide.

"No! Don't be stupid. She is most probably already dead" his voice is loud as he tries to talk sense to her, but Villanelle simply shakes her head.

"Nope, I'm going to get her. She is alive. She's strong, she won't break" Villanelle says definitively. Konstantin shakes his head saying,

"Then you will be really dead." He opens the door and leaves this as the last thing he will ever say to her.

"So what now?" Eve asks after quiet had taken over the room and she began to feel uncomfortable with it.

"Now we wait for your little friend to make our passports and we leave for Russia" Villanelle says as she walks over to the wardrobe and pulls out a small travel bag. "But first, we need to leave here. I will stay with you at your house, then when the passports are ready we will leave" she says, and Eve lets out a groan saying "I can't have you at my house! I have a single bedroom apartment the size of this bathroom" her voice is whining, and she knows it's because she's tired and struggling to remain conscious. Villanelle is laughing as she packs hurriedly, not caring that she is creasing her clothes; she walks into the bathroom to collect her toiletries and says "This bathroom is much larger than your apartment"

Time is a blur and before she knows it, Eve is being pulled into her own apartment by a very cautious Villanelle and being told to sit down while Villanelle walks into the kitchen and begins boiling water in the kettle and searches for mugs and tea. Eve watches as she does this; now dressed in track pants and a baggy jumper, her hair tucked into the back of the jumper and a baseball cap on her head. Eve can't deny it, she still looked amazing in daggy clothes! Villanelle makes two cups of tea and brings one to Eve and tells her to drink then she can go to sleep. "Where will you sleep?" Eve asks, her voice is soft, and Villanelle can't help but smirk at her as she sits on the couch next to Eve. "You want to share your bed?" she asks, and Eve lets out a laugh saying "No, I've gotten used to sleeping alone" Villanelle shakes her head and sees Eve raise an eyebrow.
