Alex Vause: Gunfight

Alex was not one to talk of her past, especially to people she considered her future. However when a shady guard started his rounds, she was quick to speak of past ghosts. Her stories were enough to frighten you, after all he was here to assassinate Alex and those who stood in his way. She spent most of her time acting like it was another day in prison, completing her assigned jobs, talking with other inmates. Her eyes would frantically check around each corner, her sleep was light and full of nightmares, she could not relax.

She started her day like any other, picking up her shovel to restore the once thriving garden. For a moment, her worries slipped away as she let herself be distracted by her duty. Aydin was creating calculated moves in order to stay hidden and in doing so he assigned himself to garden patrol. He swaggered towards the greenhouse, hand on his gun for a swift movement. He made sure he was in sight of Alex, just enough to send her a message. Alex could feel a presence lurking so she looked up, her body froze as she observed the unknown guard. Aydin motioned his head towards the greenhouse before casually walking inside. Panic began to build inside Alex, her mind creating possible escapes. She hesitantly followed behind, looking around to make sure that the inmates were oblivious. From afar, you watched the interaction, a bad feeling settling in your gut. Your body shouted at you to move, to check up on Alex so you happily obliged. For each moment you couldn't see Alex, the faster your body would move. In no time you were standing at the entrance to the greenhouse. 

The door was slightly ajar as you peaked through the small opening. Your eyes fixated on the gun in the guards hands. A cold shiver flowed through you, this was the man from the stories. Your body was on pure instinct, abruptly charging through the doors and in front of Alex. Aydin's eyes widened at the figure in front of him. He could not believe that someone could be this foolish to step in front of a gun.

"What are you doing?" Alex harshly whispered behind you.

"I'm saving your ass" You offered a wink in return

"No, you're on a suicide mission, he'll kill us both" Alex nervously looked at Aydin whose face changed from surprised to angry.

"And who do you think you are?" He stepped forward, in an attempt to intimidate you.

"The distraction" Before he could analyse your words, you lunged forward, reaching for the gun. Alex watched in horror, waiting for the right moment to pull you out. You fought for dominance, rolling around the floor in fight for that gun. You were elated when you finally had a hold on it, pulling it closer to you. A loud bang echoed through the once peaceful greenhouse, both parties laid quietly on the floor. Alex rushed over to you, checking for a wound. Her hands were quick to find the blood pooling at your stomach. She compressed the wound, screaming for help from anyone who was close by. She turned to see Aydin, noticing his body fleeing from the greenhouse. Her eyes finally met yours, they were dull unlike the shine they used to have.

"I'm sorry" Alex mumbled through her tears. "I never wanted this"

"It's okay, I needed you to be safe" You weakly raised your hand to her cheek. She lent in to the touch that she loved so much. "Can I ask a favour?" Alex frantically nodded. "Please stay with me" Alex broke at your words, tears falling at a rapid pace. If you were to die in this place, you wanted it to be with Alex. You wanted her to be the last thing you saw before the lights go out. You laid there for what felt like hours, in silence, both accepting what is to come. Your eyes slowly closed, your arm landing with a thud on the floor. Alex looked at your lifeless body, her heart breaking. She lent down and placed a soft kiss on your lips, "I love you" she said for the first time. 3 words you will never hear but your body rested in peace, knowing her beauty drifted you off into a long sleep.
