The gun felt heavy in her hand. It was getting heavier by the second but she didn't let it show. she couldn't.

At least not until she has this over and done with.

Rowell stared at her. waiting. Waiting.

Waiting.

If she was not in the position she was she would have laughed at his expression. It's not everyday that the ruler of the universe get shocked speechless. He was probably used to being the one behind the trigger, not in front of the bullet. Proof of how little time he spent at home. With Aaron.

With Aaron.

Didn't he know how lucky he was? Well before her. But she wreaked everybodys lives so she doesn't count.

But she should. Oh she should because for once her carefully constructed plans; her distancing herself form others; her ability to hide in plan sight; they were backfiring. They were only making thing worse, but how was she supposed to know that? Where she lived that was how things happened. You hid and hopefully got lucky and lived.

Any plans for her and Aaron never would have gone anywhere. The might of the human race behind it because they were about a far apart as humanly possible.

As Slainly possible.

With Aaron.

Aaron!

She turned her head half an inch to see him, he had picked up the gun and was currently loading it in plain sight of Rowel and of the camera crew behind him. They were standing there, their mouths agape and pale as a SAI sheet. The camera had been lowered sightly and the microphone was on the floor but the entire compound was silent, the camera was still rolling and that was what she needed. She hoped.

Too late for second guesses now.

The only other people in the courtyard were two other guards, who haden't moved, and Eloise and Monika. They were half hidden in the doorway and their faces in shadow but she knew exactly what they were thinking. What the whole world was thinking.

Aaron finished with his gun and leveled it out. For a second she was afraid he would point the gun at her. It wouldn't do any damage but it would probably wreak his mental stability, this task was destroying her and she hadn't done the worst bit yet. But he didn't point it had her, he did something even worse. He pointed it at Rowel. He trusted her over his own father.

He trusted her! They were three feet apart but her whole body was humming and the side where he was had started to heat up with the, almost, close contact. If she wasn't terrified for her life; for Aaron's life; for John's life she would probably be scarlet now. Or the next colour up.

"Aaron?" Rowel's voice had lost its aurthortive confident tone. "What... What are you doing?"

"What does it look like?" Aaron replied. He was enjoying this. Probably the first time he'd been in control.

"Don't." She told him.

"Ashley give him your gift." He told her and she stared at him. "Please don't insult my intelligence." He sounded depressed and her heart started yelling at her head about hurting him.

She had had no choice. There's always a choice.

I can't take this anymore. She put her hand in her pocket and removed the boring brown envelope. The Alpha to the well maybe not Omega but pretty close, of all her troubles. Rowels eyebrow shot up, she couldn't blame him really. Taking a deep breath she handed it over, praying that he was a fast reader.

Think of John.

He opened the envelope and pulled out the letter.
