Somewhere Over The Rainbow ( Original )

Memory

looked back at the men grinning.
" Heh... You have a point. "
He paused for a second.

" Very well you can get Them. "
-
They put shylow down and left the cold empty room. Ash looked down at shylow, grinning.
" what would liam think if he found you like this..? "
He knelt down meeting my eye level.
" But... There's only one way to find out~ "

He stood up leaving the room as well. It was silent, dark and empty...

" She's in this room..? "
" Yup... How much you want? "
" hmm, how much she worth? "
" more than you'd expect... "
" 2500$? "
" eh... More. "
" 3400$? "
" good enough... Now get her outta here before someone finds her. "
" you go get her... Ava. "
Devin said as he finished talking with Mr Sen about prices.

She creaked the door open only leaving space for her to slip in through. She looked down to see a pale cold looking shylow sitting on the floor. She knelt down grabbing a handful of hair gently letting it slip through her fingers.

' come on guys... Hurry up. '
She thought to herself looking back at the tall steel door.

Ava picked shylow up putting her stomach along her shoulder and held her legs as she walked out of the room.

Ava glanced over to devin who was smirking to himself then shook Mr Sen's hand.
" good doing business with you. "
An evil chuckle escaping his lips.
The two began to walk down the hall to the exit till they came across a room with loud pounding and screaming.

" Jeez, calm down liam... "
Devin said loud enough for liam to hear. The shouting and slamming stopped and it went silent for a second... But only a second.

" D-devin? "
" Yes? "
" W-what are you doing here?! I told you- "
" oh ya know... Just taking care of business... And shylow. "
He grinned to himself.
" S-SHYLOW!! Is she okay?! "
" Listen here liam... She's pretty much dead by now, okay. You couldn't save her then and you can't now... "

Liam fell silent once more. But this time ava smirked to herself without devin noticing...

" Are you so sure about that? "
Liam asked. Devin became confused and lost in Liam's words.

But I felt justice rain over me in that moment.
" Of course I'm sure!! You're on the other side of a wall!! "
He laughed to himself thinking liam was dumb...

" What about me? "

Ava said aloud. Her voice dead serious and mature for the appearance of her age. It sounded almost like if silk was a sound. She was calm and collected like she was ready for this moment her whole life...

Devin turned to face her in shock and speechless, but before his mouth could even move shylow slowly lifted up her leg and shot it out, back kicking him right on his jaw.

He stumbled backwards onto his butt in pain putting a hand to his mouth. He groaned and glared up at ava who was helping shylow off her shoulder.
Shylow was holding her stomach with her arm and managed to grin through her uneasy and pained face expression.

" Ava?! "
He said, instantly regretting it as he held his jaw in pain. He jumped back up to his feet.

" You... "
He said aggressively narrowing his eyes at me. He charged full force at us but liam flung the door open smacking him right on his face knocking devin to the ground.

" Nice lock picking ava. "
He smiled at her and she smiled back.

" Ngh- "
I aggressively groaned leaning onto a wall trying to hold my balance as the uneasy feeling still spread around my body.

" Wow, hey shylow what's wrong?! "
Liam asked kneeling down next to me as I slid down with my back against the wall.

I was in to much pain to even speak. I could only look down at my arm that was wrapped around my waist holding it tightly.

Liam's gaze followed mine and soon his eyes fell apon my arm. He narrowed his eyes then looked back up to my face with a gentle look.
" May I? "

He asked. I nodded and he slowly moved my arm from my stomach. On my side there was a pretty big sized hole in my shirt and there was a cut on my side with a bit of blood dripping out.

Liam didn't say anything and just looked down at my hand.
" Nghh! "

I grumbled trying to move back up but it was to much for me. Liam looked up to ava and she looked to him then to me. As soon as she saw my side her eyes widen.

" Ava... Can you gather everyone and get out of here... I have unfinished business I need to attend to with my father. "

He looked back at me, but he didn't even look into my eyes. His gaze was trapped on the pretty big cut on my side that was still dripping.

Ava nodded and knelt down infront of me to pick me up bridal style.

" Ngh... L-liam.... "
I said trying to reach for his hand. But he only shuffled the more I tried to reach.
" L-liam... Look me i-in my eyes... R-right no-ow. "

I demanded but he still refused. He sighed a painful sigh and looked down to his feet.

" Shylow... I can't... "
He paused,
" I'd love to look at your face, and see your beautiful smile that can light up a room, or feel your soft hands holding mine... But I can't... I'm going to do something and I can't let this be the way you remeber me shylow...
It just can't... "

He turned his back to ava and I and started to walk down the long cold hallway...

" will I e-ever see y-o-ou again..? "
I tried saying through the pain. He stopped in his tracks, frozen solid...

" Only one way to find out... Hope I'll see you on the other side... "
He said calmly but I could hear the anger he tried to cover. He began to walk again and ava started running in the other direction looking for an exit...

' He didn't even say I love you... '
I thought to myself...

(liam)

' I didn't say I love you... But I couldn't... I already know... I won't see her on the other side of this mess... And I couldn't- can't let this be the way she'll remember me... '
