"I'm always wondering,If it's ever gonna end I can feel it in my bones.Standing in the dust,of what's left of us,I can see you in my soul.."

"Did we light too many matches?Turn ourselves into these ashes..Did we throw it all away?"

********

I'm sitting in the back of the room,my eyes staring at a blank spot on the wall.I let my thoughts travel to Elias.The way he pinched his nose wherever he was upset,that smile that could brighten every dark day,his toned body and how his strong arms held me so close.It hurts to know that he is nothing but a memory now,living only through the corridors of my mind.There are so many thing I wish I had done,I had said earlier..

The metal door opens,and Adam walks in the room,gaining my attention.I scoff looking back at the wall,like I was doing before.I must look like a hot mess right now.Dried blood covering 50% of my face,scratches everywhere,eyes red and swollen.My leg is bleeding still,and my hands are shaking.He get to one knee next to me,and I go further back to the wall.He dips cloth in the bowl of water I just notice he holds.He tries to bring his hand closer to my face,but I grab it and spit in his face.He looks at me irritated,and gets up.

"Fine.Do it yourself."He throws the cloth at my feet and goes to turn away but stops.He turns to look at me again before he swipes his cheek,then his hand on his pants."You know,I saw mum today.She already knew I was alive.She never told you.Hell,she didn't even try to help me-"He stops looking at the camera behind him,and comes closer to me."She is not coming back for you,Hayley.She never cared about any of us.It's because of her,and you,I am like this today."

"I don't care.We had the same mother but I didn't turn out into a bastard like you."

"The irony."The tone in his voice sarcastic."Our mother isn't very..subtle."He takes a pause,deciding whether or not he should say what's on his mind."I don't enjoy what's happening to you sister.It hurts actually."He whispers.

"Why are you whispering."My eyes look deep in his,not knowing what I'm looking for exactly.My brother maybe?

"Even the walls have ears around this place.Say the wrong thing and it won't turn out so good for you."He drugs his finger across his neck.

"If it's so bad,why are you here?Why are you trying to kill me?Why did you kill Elias?"I feel the tears coming up,but I fight them off.

Don't you dare cry Hayley.

"You can't just leave this place.Do what you're told and be a good soldier.That's what we learn here."

"Is it true Adam?Did you kill Layla?"I say between pauses and I see the first emotion I saw since we reunited.

Pain.

But it's quickly gone like it was never there.

"Yes."A simple answer leaves his lips,but something else catches my eye and I gasp.

"You're lying."

"No."He denies,shaking his head.

"The body doesn't lie Adam.You rub the tip of your right thumb when you lie."He gets up,backing away."Who did it?Who killed-"I follow him to the door but he turns away grabbing me by the throat,pushing me against the wall,the air leaving my lungs.

"Enough!"His bottom lip shakes slightly,and he shoots a side glance to the camera.

"Back away Fox."Valentine's voice echoes through the room and Adam quickly let's me go like his life depends on it.I take deep breaths and cough,trying to regain my breathing."What have I told you?"His looks sends shivers down my spine."No harm comes to the subject."

"Yes sir.Sorry sir."Adam stands straight his hands behind his back.Almost like he is a robot.

Out of nowhere,Valentine punches Adam and he stumbles back,but does nothing.Another thing the old Adam wouldn't do.Valentine jerks his head towards the door,and Adam rushes out.He gives me a look before doing so,and I let out a shaky breath.

Everyone leaves the room,and I'm alone with my deadly thoughts again.Threatening to suffocate me,I place my hands on my ears,hoping they would go silent.I keep hearing Elias laugh,Adam,even Dad.And how I killed all of them.One way or another.

I grab the cloth and soak it again,rubbing it up and down my face,cleaning the blood.By the time I finish,the cloth is covered in blood.I still rap it around the wound on my leg,not caring about jerms or anything.They'll drain my blood and kill me so what's the point right?I failed the world.The words of Elias come in mind and I curse at the way  keeps on creeping in my head.

'What about saving the world huh?Do you just forget about that?'

I feel like banging my head on the wall at my stupidity.I wish I had tried harder.

I lie down,my body gathered into a bowl,grabbing at my necklace.Even though Adam is not dead,I don't think he is who he pretends to be.And even if he is,the old him has to be somewhere inside that cold exterior.The loveable brother he was brings me comfort at what is to come.Death has always been in the back of my mind.And even though I thought I was ready,I don't believe I actually am.How could I be?How could anyone be?I close my eyes and tighten my fist,until the nightmares of my mistakes come to hunt me in my sleep.

I wake up in a jump and swipe my forehead off its sweat.

"You still have it."I jump at the voice next to me,only to see Adam.

"Came to strangle me again?"I sit,not noticing my hand is still on my necklace."Yes I still have it.Even if touw are a completely different person,I still believe you are you.People don't change that easily."

"You still have hope?"

"In what exactly.You?Not sure.Maybe.Life?Not anymore.You killed the last of my hope in that cell yesterday.Or is it still today?It's hard to tell down here.Which reminds me.Why are you here?"

"I came to say goodbye.It will all be over soon Hayley.All your suffering will be over."

"And that's suppose to make me feel better?"I raise my eyebrow at his statement.

"A little,yes.Hayley-"He stops rubbing his chin and I turn my body towards his."I tried.I want you to know that.I tried to tell them to keep you alive but you became too much of a trouble for them.Why couldn't you just cooperate?"

"Why do you pretend you're like them?Why are you putting up this act,the evilness?"I shake my head in disbelief.

"I'm not pretending anything Hayley.This monster you see,has always been there.I just decided not to fight it anymore.Let it out to play."He moves his fingers,in a circular motion.

"You're a real coward you know that?"A disgusted feeling is painted on my face."For years I thought you were my hero.The one I looked up to.I was so devastated when I thought you died.Did I think about giving up?Hell yeah.But I didn't.Unlike you,I decided not to.I fought for my life with all I got.You,you chose to fight alongside the enemy.The one that cost us everything.How could you do that?"

Hs stays quiet,until he simply shrugs leaving me wide eyed.I told him all that and he just shrugs?

"Adam,I'm about to die.I need one last thing from you."He nods his eyes becoming a little glossy and he blinks a few times pushing them away."Who killed Layla?"At her name a tear slides down,but he immediately wipes it like it's a shame to cry."You loved her didn't you?Why take the blame?"

"For Elias.As much as you might not believe it,I felt him like a brother.The truth would crush him..Even more."

"Who did it brother?"I ask and sniff,the aching feeling inside my stomach growing.

"He is high in the hierarchy in A.G.N.U.S. .His code name is Kronos.Yeah like the big bad parent of the gods.He says he likes it.I don't know if Elias ever talked about him but it's his-"

Before he can complete,the door opens and Adam jumps to his feet.

"It's time Fox.Bring the prisoner."He looks at me and walks away.Adam takes a deep breath,and goes to handcuff me.

"Wait."He freezes.I turn around and throw my hands around his neck."I haven't forgiven you,so don't get any ideas.I just..need to do it I guess."I feel him nodding and raps his hands around my waist.We pull apart and I turn around."Get it over with."I sigh and he handcuffs me.

We walk through the corridors,eyes fixed on me,some with anger,some with interest.

I feel like everything is happening in slow motion as I once again,value my life choices.Some of them were right,some of them went terribly wrong.Was it worth it?Any of it?Am I responsible of who I have become today?I certainly think so.Of the situation right now?Absolutely.

They lead me into a dark room,with a single chair in the room,attached eith some emtpy blood bags and a machine.They untie my hands,and I glance at Adam.I sit down on the chair,a guy in a white lab suit walks up to me,sticking needles in my arms.I hiss and breath quickly.I was never a huge fan of needles.

"Leave her be.We can have a guard outside.Only the doctor stays in."Adam is the first one to quickly leave,then everyone else follows.Valentine stays a little longer,staring at me grinning.The doctor pushes a button on the machine and it starts buzzing.

I look at the thick tube attached to the needless as they begin to fill with blood.

Twenty minutes pass.

Thirty.

Fourty.

I try my best to stay awake,but the blood loss is too much.My vision becomes blurry and full of black dots and it's getting hard to breath.

I hear the door open,and hardly see the doctor falling down.My eyes close shut,feeling like stones when I try to open them,failing.Someone pulls the needles out of me,scooping me in his arms.The only thing I hear,is his smoothing voice.

"I got you baby..I got you."

------------
AND BOOM!Twice in a few hours!I kinda redeemed Adam's name in this one.But he still is a douchebag.Who do you think actually killed Layla though?Keeeep reading to find out!

Love,Mae x
