Yours Forever, Dragonfly.

Part 29

The Academy Operatives knew that the Blackbourne-Toma team were in trouble when they went completely dark. Pulling out all the stops, people in all black combat wear shuffled around. Grabbing grenades, machine guns, and knives the full force of the Academy made their way to the building. Joel held his gold cross necklace for goodluck, Sarah grabbing her friend Ryan's sweaty hand and giving it a quick squeeze, and one of the higher ups, Aisha, giving the order to charge forward. They were family. They were the Academy. No one gets left behind.

His blood pumping, air rushing from his mouth with exertion, holding back grunts of pain, Kevin made his way inside. Hoping that he wasn't leaving a trail of red in his wake, he made his way through the maze of hallways.They were all counting on him and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if another person he loved died. No plan in mind but at that moment he didnt care what happened to him as long as he got his team out safely. A phrase kept popping up in his head tearing down his confidence, only fools rushed in.

Owen Blackbourne, a man known for his calm and refined attitude, took a deep breath to collect his thoughts. Grime and dirt kissed his skin leaving nothing untouched, he felt disgusting. The panic rising through his chest to his throat, the brunette took another fortifying breath through his nose and released slowly. Jay had left them with no way to get out and he couldn't think of a viable plan, what was his purpose if he couldn't lead his team? Looking around he saw the others in various stages of distress, trying to come up with non-existent plans to get out safely. He shook himself out of his despair. He is Owen Blackbourne and he will not cower before any man.

The room shook, as if there were an earthquake, debris and dust flew around us in a swirl of despair. Kota's arms wrapped firmly around S, yells and sirens filled the air, and S couldn't help but think that this may be the end. Tears streamed down her cheeks as the terror threatened to close her airways. Her mind was slowly numbing her surroundings, the shock settling in like a long lost friend. The chameleon haired girl ran through the faces of all the men she met and she smiled as she realized she had been slowly falling in love with these amazing men. She never thought love was for her but, she knew she could die and still be thankful that she got to experience the all consuming emotion. As her body flew from Kota's grasp and hit the wall. Her last thoughts were of her team, her guys, their laughs, their sweet smiles. Then everything went black.
