CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: THE SWEDES

"Life is not about being rich, popular, being highly educated or being perfect. It is about being real, being humble and being kind"

---

YOUR POV.

Slow mariachi music was playing as Diego and I entered the building with Five and Lila behind us as overlapping chatter was heard.

Five quickly grabbed two glasses of champagne from a tray that was being held by a caterer.

He turned around before handing one to me "My lady" he said "Thank you" I said as I took the glass from him before we both took a sip while we quickly looked around.

"I don't see Dad anywhere" Diego said "Just keep an eye out for the Majestic Twelve. Y/n and I got upstairs" Five said before he looked at Diego "Diego, try not to do anything too stupid" he said and Lila chuckled softly while Five and I walked towards the stairs.

When we reach up the last step of the stairs, Five grabbed my hand "What?" I asked "It has being a long time since we danced together. So may I have this dance?" he asked and I nodded "Yes" I said.

I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you, I'll always return, yeah

Five put his hands on my waist before we started dancing.

I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within
The sound of my lover, a feeling so strong
Oh, it's to you, I'll always belong

He then brought my hands up, placing them on his shoulders while his other hand rested on my waist.

Now I know it's true, yeah
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness, darling
Your light gets me through

Five puts his hands on my hips and I threw my arms around his neck.

Wanna swim in your river
Be warm by your sun
Bathe in your waters
'Cause you are the one

Five caught my hand when I dropped them to his chest and he stepped to my side as he spun me around while we were both dancing to the music.

I have missed this, it has actually being a long time since we dance together like this.

FIVE'S POV.

While dancing, I kept my green eyes on Y/n's beautiful gentle Y/e/c eyes which I had loved since the day I met her.

The spark in her eyes remind me of the stars, like they have always do.

I decided that if my own fate, if it even existed hanged in the stars. Those stars were in the eyes of Y/n. All I saw was her, I saw the fullness of her. It was her eyes, smile, words and mind. I could stare at her forever.

I can't stand the distance
I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you
Yes, I'm on my way home
I'm on my way

I pulled her closer so our faces was inches apart.

Oh, I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you I will always return

I lifted my left hand while Y/n lifted her right hand causing our fingers to locked together.

Wanna swim in your river
Be warm by your sun
Bathe in your waters
'Cause you are the one

I grabbed her hand and spinned her around while she was smiling.

"You couldn't pick anything else than that uniform, we are going to a gala, not you first school day" she said "I didn't had the time" I said "I did. So why didn't you found a outfit that will match the gala?" she asked "'Cause I didn't want to" I tilted my head "But you look so beautiful and it just made me fall more in love with you" I said with a raise eyebrow "Stop flirting" she said "Why? You always love it when I'm flirting" I said "Well, it's because you are terrible at it" she said "Well, it work on you" I said with a raise eyebrow while she rolled her eyes.

I can't stand the distance
I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you
'Cause I'm on my way home

I looped my arm around hers as I spun around.

Y/n caught my free hand, placing it on her waist.

She then hooked her arms around my neck and pecked my lips twice "This is why I married you" she said causing a smile to spread across my lips.

I have missed this so much. It had being a long time since we dance together like this.

Oh, I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns
Yeah, I'm on way, I will always return
Yes, I will always return

"You are my one and only, Y/n" I said "Aww" she said with a smile and I then pulled her closer to me before we rested our forehead against each other, closing our eyes.

I've seen every sunset
And with all that I've learned, oh
It's to you I will always, always return

I have no idea what I would do without her. As soon as we are back home, I will do everything I can to find a way to cure her heart.

While our eyes were still closed and our foreheads still touching each other, we both stood still, enjoying the moment. Only hearing each other's heartbeats and feeling each other's love.

Everytime we did something like this, we always felt like the only two people alive and it felt like everything around us was in slow motion.

In this moment, it was just Y/n and I and our love for each other.

But then there was the sound of men murmur indistinctly and we quickly hide in a room before we saw a group of men walking down the hall and into another room before they closed the door.

We walked out of the room before we walked up to the door and I grabbed Y/n's hand before I blinked us into a closet inside the room where the group have walked in.

We both leaned forward to look out of the shades of the door.

We could see all the Majestic 12 gathered in a dark room that was dimly lit by a few lamps that were placed around the room.

"The president is continuing to make inquiries into Roswell and the other crash sites, gentleman. And, as you know, we cannot allow him to get his nose into our business. I've confirmed the motorcade will indeed be turning left on Elm Street. We'll have our people in place" a man explained.

"Gentlemen, this plan of yours seems ill-timed" said the man that had his back to the closet, and I narrowed my eyes as I could recognize the voice, it sound like my dad "It's going to be a turkey shoot" a man said.

We moved a bit making a soft clatter causing the man to turn around and look at the closet and my eyes widened when I saw that it was my dad, Reginald.

Holy....

"Dad?" I whispered as I furrowed my brows "Shh" Reginald said to the other men and he grabbed a fire poker that was standing in front of the fireplace before he made his way towards the closet causing Y/ns' eyes to widened as she grabbed my hand.

We both took a step back and just as as Reginald began to jab the fire poker through the the door, I blinked away with Y/n.

YOUR POV.

Both Five and I appeared back on the hallway and we both exhales sharply as Five fix his shirt.

"I will find Diego" I said as I ran up ahead but then one of the Swedes who wearing the same outfit as a waiter to blend came walking out one of the rooms.

Shit.

He grabbed me and push me against the wall.

FIVE'S POV.

I heard Y/n grunt and I turned around to see my wife in danger "Y/N" I shouted before I blinked up on the guy's back "LET MY WIFE GO, YOU SON OF A BITCH" I shouted as I tried to snap his neck.

The guy let go of Y/n before he grabbed me and threw me away making me fall to the floor with a grunt.

"Okay, nobody hurts my husband, you asshole" Y/n said before she threw a fist at the guy.

I got up and was about to run over but then another one of the Swedes walked out from a room before looking at me.

"Shit" I muttered and the Swedes grabbed my blazer, pulling me forward before he push me against the wall causing me to grunt before the guy shoved me towards another side of the hallway.

But before I could hit the wall, I blinked away before I appeared behind the guy and kicked him in the leg, causing the guy to fell on his knees.

I then jumped up on his back trying to snap his neck as I made a straining noise, but the guy lifted his arms behind himself before grabbing me by the shoulder, leaning forward, swinging me up and threw me onto the floor causing me to groan.

The guy lifted his fist to punch me but I blinked away with a whoosh before I appeared behind the guy.

The guy got up and turned around to look at me and I clenched my fists, causing energy to sputter as I tried to blink but nothing happen, meaning my powers was failing me again.

Really? Bad fucking timing.

"Oh, shit" I said as the guy began walking towards me before he punched me in the face.

YOUR POV

I swept my legs under the first Swedes' legs causing him to fall to the floor.

I then turned to rush over and help my husband but then a pair of arms grabbed me before lifting my feet of the floor.

I slammed my elbow into my side and the guy let go of me before falling backwards into the wall behind him.

The guy threw a punch at me but I bend down dodging the punch.

I threw a punch at the guy but he dodged the punch before he grabbed me by my throat and push me against the wall.

I then saw a small glass vase standing by a small table next to me, so I grabbed it before smashing it at the guy's face causing him to grunt while letting go of me as the glass shatter.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Diego then came walking up the stairs and he looked to the right to see Y/n and Five fighting against the Swedes.

"Five, Y/n...." Diego said and was about to walk over and help but then a belt was wrapped around his neck causing Diego to let out a gasp as the third Swedes Axel pulled him backwards down the hallway by the belt while Diego tried to pull it away.

YOUR POV.

My opponent slammed me body into the wall next to us causing me to groaned as he let go of my arms before grabbing my throat.

But then I kicked my foot against his chest before pushing him off me causing him to stumble back catching himself on a small table by the window.

I knew that this was not good for my heart, but I had to defend myself.

I threw a punch at his jaw, knocking his head to the side.

The guy swung a kick at me face causing me to let out a grunt.

I then kicked him in the groin before I threw a punch at him causing him to groan in pain as he stumbled back.

The guy threw a punch at me but I bend down, dodging the punch.

I dodged the punch before punching him right in the face and I kicked him in the stomach.

He threw another punch at me but I bent backwards, and I moved around before I swung at him again, hitting him in the face.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Diego threw a knife towards the guy Y/n was fighting but it miss and hit the shelf next to him.

Then Lila came walking up the stairs and she stopped when she heard both Five and Diego groaning.

She looked at Diego and was about to walk over and help him but then she heard Five groaning and she turned around to see Y/n and Five against the Swedes.

Five groaning as he was getting slammed into a wall while Y/n let out a grunt as a fist hit her in the face.

"Lila" Diego said and she looked at him "Help me! Lila! Help..." he said.

"Protect Number Five and Y/n Russell at all costs"

Lila grabbed Diego's knife, that was stuck in the shelf before she turned around to ran over to help Five.

Lila kicked off her heels and jumped up on a small table, before she jumped up, grabbing the chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling and kicked the guy before she wrapped her legs around his neck.

FIVE'S POV.

I sat up from the floor and blinked twice to see how skillful Lila fought. I could almost recognize the fighting patterns and skills.

Those skills are really familiar.

Lila then let go of the chandelier and with her strength she pulled the guy down on the floor.

"You're welcome" Lila said to me who was narrowing my eyes at her.

I saw the guy get up and ran towards him before I push him out of the window.

YOUR POV.

The first Swede threw a punch at me, hitting me in the face causing me to let out a grunt as I fell to the floor while my eyes lids fluttered heavily as I could feel a trickle of blood running down from my nose.

"Okay, playtime is over" I said before I reach into my dress quickly, grabbing out a small knife before I dig the knife into the guys' shoe causing him to grunt and he stumble back as I took the knife out.

He threw a punch at me but I dodged it and when he lifted his fist to punch me again, I dodged the fist before I stabbed him in the shoulder causing him to grunt as he grabbed his shoulder while blood started to spurt through his white blazer.

I then stabbed him in the waist before letting go of the knife and he reach to punch me in the chest causing me to fell to the floor while he stumble back still with the knife stuck in his waist.

Five then blinked over to me "I've got you" he said as he help me up.

"Sorry" he said "Took you long enough" I said as I wipe some blood off my lips.

We look towards the guy to see him taking the knife out of his waist and we looked at each other.

"Together" he said "Together" I said before we both spun around, throwing a kick at the guy, hitting him in the stomach making him fall out of the window.

Five then blinked us outside the building.

"You okay?" Five asked as I leaned my head against his chest, his heart was racing, I could hear it thumping loudly in my ear.

We pulled away from each other and he wipe the blood off my nose with his hand "Sorry" he said "It's okay, you had your own guy to fight against, beside I handle it" I said and he smiled as he slid a piece of my hair away from my face.

FIVE'S POV.

"Isn't that him?" Y/n asked as she pointed behind me and I turned around to see my father opening a car to a black limo.

I took a few steps forward "Tell me about a complicated man, Muse. Tell me how he wandered and lost!" I shouted out in Anicent Greek causing Reginald to look at me as I continued speaking Anicent Greek to him with my American accent.

I remember the words, it was the citing from the opening paragraph of the book he had read to me and my siblings when we were kids.

Reginald looked at me for a few seconds before he got into the limo and drove away.

Then Diego and Lila ran up to us "Was that him?" Diego asked "Yeah" I said as we watch the limo drive away.

"You know, I'm starting to get the feeling Dad's avoiding us" I said "Hate to be the boring one, guys, but, uh, it's time we get the hell out of here" Lila said, rubbing the back of her neck before she walked in front of the us.

I took a step forwards, facing Lila "When you say 'we' who exactly are you referring to?" I asked, leaning forward and Lila turned around to look at me "Not a lot of ambiguity in that sentence" she said "Listen, I don't know who you are or where you came from, but whatever it is, I'd advise you return posthaste" I said as I glared at her "She's right Five, we need to get out of here" Diego said, stepping forwards.

"I just saved your life, you kinder-shit. If I hadn't stepped in, all that would be left of you is a blazer and some bloody socks" Lila said "And that's the problem. You're too good. You ask too many questions. You know too much. And you fight like you know what you're doing" I said "He's got a point" Diego said, looking at Lila "So I know how to handle myself, and that makes me the bad guy?" Lila asked.

"Funny, you're quickly to jump my throat but not your wife?" she pointed at Y/n "You know, Lila, that is very brave of you insulting my wife in front of me" I hissed "Five, honey, now is not the time" Y/n said.

"Whoever you are, you're in my way. If I see you again, I will kill you" I said as I was looking at her with a threatening look.

I then glanced over my shoulder, to look at my wife with only one thing in mind, get her back home so she could rest.

I knew that a fight like she had with the swedes was not good for her heart. So she need rest.

Y/n took a step forward but cause of the fight, she was about to fall but I caught her as I blinked over to her and I hooked my arms around her waist.

"Easy" I said and she let out a chuckled as she pressed her nose against the side of my face. I think she could hear my heart thumping rapidly in my chest.

"I'm fine Five, really" she said as she pulled away from me and my hands moved from her waist, before I place my right hand on her cheek and my left hand on her back.

"I'm okay" she said while my eyes studied hers, looking for a hint of pain that suggested otherwise, but I couldn't find anything in her Y/e/c eyes that was staring into my green ones "I just lost my footing" she said.

"Are you her bitch or what Five? 'Cause I think you are, you act like it" Diego said and us both glanced at him before I looked back at Y/n.

"Come let's get you home" I said before I grabbed her "Five, you don't need to I can--" but she didn't reach to finished that sentence as I picked her up in my arms before I blinked away.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Lila step forwards before she looked back at Diego who was not moving a bit "Diego, we need to go" she said "I was getting my ass handed to me back there, Y/n too. You helped Five, not me or Y/n" Diego said, stepping closer to her "Why?" he asked "Because he's a kid and you're a man, Bloody act like one" she said.

"You should have help Y/n" Diego hissed at Lila causing her to raised a brow "Five would have wanted you to help Y/n over him" he said "Well, she seems like she handle things" she said and he just nodded before he walked passed her "Diego, I...I...We shouldn't--" she said but was cut off when he stopped before he turned to her "You know what?" he said, stepping closer to her "I'm used to dealing with liars, Lila, but I like it better when I know what they're lying about" Diego said before he turned around and began walking away "Oh, come on, Diego. Really? You're just gonna walk away?" Lila shouted but he ignored her "Diego!" she shouted as he ran away.

FIVE'S POV.

I blinked Y/n back to Elliott's guestroom before I put her down

"Sit down. I will clean that wound" I said "You don't have to" she said "Yeah. It hurt seeing you hurt" I said before I grabbed a bowl, filled it with water and then came back with a rag.

I sat down next to her, and I continued looking at her cut, before I dip the rag in the water and I started cleaning the rest of the blood off her nose and on her lips "He got you good" I said "He came out worse" she said which cause a small smile to appear on my face.

What would I do without her?

"I shouldn't have brought you. I should have being able to protect you, I should..." I said but then she grabbed my hand "It's not your fault, okay. We came out alive. I'm okay, we're okay. Beside there was no way that you could keep me from not going" she said and we looked at each other.

As we were looking at each other she saw pieces of my dark brown hair that fell over the right side of my forehead, right above my eye, was hitting my nose.

"Come, let get to bed" I said and she smiled before we both lay down and we pulled the sheet over us before we closed our eyes and she turned to lay on her other side, so her back was facing me.

Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love
Can you hear me
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away
Want you near me

It didn't take long before Y/n fell asleep but I couldn't sleep, so I opened my eyes before I moved closer to her which cause her to sigh before she opened her eyes "What?" she asked "You know that I always sleep in the middle" I said, "Not tonight. Now shut up and get some sleep or I will knock you out with a brick or my fist" she said "I know. I'm trying" I said.

She turned around and moved closer to me before laying her head on my chest while I put my arm around her shoulder.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

But then I opened my eyes again and I sighed before I sat up "Yeah. I can't get to sleep unless I'm in the middle" I said "Then we spoon" she said and turned around "I can spoon" I said and lay back down "Okay" she said "I can spoon" I said before she grabbed me and turned me around, so my back was facing her and she put her arms around me before pulling me closer and I felt like I couldn't move.

"Hey Love" I said "What?" she asked "There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away" I said "Alright, then you be the big spoon" she said, letting go of me before she turned around and I turned around too, putting my arms around her before pulling her closer, so we were spooning again.

Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game
And I need you

I let out a sigh with a smile "Hmm" I said and closed my eyes.

Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you

But I still couldn't sleep, so I opened my eyes and looked at her as I could feel that my arm that was under her body started to hurt.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

I looked at my arm and started to move it, causing her to opened her eyes "What now?" she asked "My arm's falling asleep" I said and she grabbed my arm before she lifted it away.

I shook my arm a few times, before I turned around so our backs was touching each other and I closed my eyes.

This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more

But after a few seconds, I opened my eyes again "I don't like this" I said, "I'm going to kill you" she said "I know, I know, I'm sorry" I said.

YOUR POV.

We turned around and looked at each other before we let out a smile. "Okay then, just come here" I said and grabbed him "Just come here" I said and turned him around, so his back was pressed up against my chest and I put my arms around him.

Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

I then pulled him closer so we were spooning again "I think this is good" he said and took my hand "Yeah, this is good" he said before we both closed our eyes.

This remind me of all those times, we were laying this close in the apocalypse to keep each other warm.

We both loved to lay like this. Cuddling.

"Love you, forever and a day" he said "Love you too, forever and a day" I said before we both felled asleep.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

"Sometimes you can't change how people feel about you, so don't even try, just live your life and be happy"
