IS HER DESTINY DEATH?

A SEQUEL TO SHATTERED GLASS

 

CHAPTER 1 - SAVING SYDNEY

 

Sydney awoke in a warehouse, she didn’t know how long she’d been gone or what had happened to her, she just thought she had died.

 

“Ah, Sydney, I see you’re awake.” He grabbed a syringe that had a strange liquid in it and shoved it in her arm. “It’s Heroine.”

 

Because of the dosage she’d been given in that last 8 months, she quickly lost consciousness.

 

LA - VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

“Eric, she’s been missing for almost a year, shouldn’t we go look for her?”-Vaughn

 

“Mike, I said I’ll help you find her and I will, but it’ll be hard.”-Weiss

 

“Eric, Irina is pissed at me for not finding her yet, since she’s been missing ever since after our wedding. She said that she’s gonna kill me if she doesn’t see Sydney alive in front of her in 48 hours.”-Vaughn

 

“What the hell?”-Weiss

 

“Yeah, and fast cause she just called me two hours ago and I bet she’s counting down the hours until she can kill me.”-Vaughn

 

“Murder is her main tool, isn’t it?”-Weiss

 

“You forgot blackmail, bribery and many more of her tools in life.”-Vaughn

 

“I know, let’s hurry before she murders you.”-Weiss

 

SWITZERLAND - SLOANE’S WAREHOUSE

 

Sark came into Sloane’s office.

 

“What do you want?”-Sloane

 

“Sydney’s awake.”-Sark

 

“How? I gave her like a million gallons of heroine, she should be dead by now.”-Sloane

“Don’t you have something more severe to give her?”-Sark

 

“Torturing her would be the best punishment for working for the damn CIA.”-Sloane

 

“Sure.” He walked out and over to Sydney’s cell.

 

Once he got there, he dragged her to the interrogation room, tied her up and hung her by her arms from the ceiling. He grabbed a knife, and Stabbed her in the stomach. Sydney screamed in pain. He grabbed another knife and stabbed her right next to the previous spot. He continued stabbing her in her stomach until he didn’t have anymore knives left. She was bleeding heavily onto the floor, she had exactly 20 knives stuck in her stomach, all very close together.

 

Sark untied her arms from the ceiling and watched her drop to the ground, he then left the room.

 

OUTSIDE SLOANE’S WAREHOUSE

 

Vaughn and Weiss got out of their car and continued staring at a warehouse that looked like it had been 100 years old. They raised their guns and walked inside to see prison cells, over 1000 of them, they looked at each other, thinking that Sydney was there.

 

“You go that way, I’ll go this way.”

 

They both went their directions, but as soon as Vaughn turned the corner, he heard something, screaming, it was her, it was Sydney, it had to be, he was almost sure of it. He ran around another corner and walked up to a door, she was there, she was in that room, screaming, he had to save her from what ever torture she was going through.

 

He kicked the door down to see Sydney, his love, on the ground, crying in pain. He ran over to her and carefully removed the knives, she was weak, which would make it hard to escape, but he would make sure she got out of this hell, somehow.

 

“Sydney, you’re gonna be ok, just relax and don’t move.” He looked around the room for a first aid kit, or something to stop the bleeding, but all he found was a few rags.

 

“V….a….u….g…..h…..n.”-Syd

 

“Syd, I love you, I’m not going to let you die, just let me save you.”-Vaughn

 

“S…u…r…e.”-Syd

 

He carefully wrapped all the rags around her stomach.

 

“I love you Sydney, don’t leave me again, ever, I wanna be with you for eternity.”

 

He put his jacket on her and carried her out of the room, but as soon as he turned around that corner, there was a gun to Sydney’s head.

 

“I should of known you’d send someone to rescue you.”-Sark

 

Vaughn punched him in the face, Sark fell to the ground. Anna walked up behind them and threw Sydney out of Vaughn’s arms and onto the ground. She screamed in pain. Vaughn pulled out his gun and shot Anna in the chest, she appeared to be dead. He ran over to Syd, who was now bleeding heavily on the ground and looked as though she dislocated her shoulder. He helped her into his arms and pushed her shoulder back into it’s socket. She screamed, but he knew she was gonna be all right, she just needed to get back to LA and stay in bed rest for a few days. He hated seeing her so broken, her soul was broken, her faith had died, her hope had disappeared. She wasn’t the Sydney he knew before, but he still loved her, maybe even more than he did before she disappeared.

 

“Lets go home, Weiss is waiting for us and Sark will get up soon.”-Vaughn

 

“I love you so much, I missed you so much, I was so scared without you there.”-Syd

 

“It’ll all be ok, I promise, just try to relax, you can tell me later, ok?”-Vaughn

 

“Thanks for everything Michael.”-Syd

 

“No problem, I love you, it’s my job to keep you safe.”

 

Syd just rolled her eyes.

 

He carried her out of the building, got her in the car, and the three of them drove away, heading back to LA.

 

CHAPTER 2 - COMING HOME

 

L.A. - VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Vaughn carried Sydney inside his apartment, set her down on his bed and went to go get a first aid kit. He came back into his bedroom and sat down on the bed.

 

“I need to fix you up and make you ‘presentable’ for your mom, since she’ll kill me if you’ve got one little scratch on your body.”

 

“I doubt I’ll be ‘presentable’ then.”-Syd

 

“That won’t be a problem if she just sees you alive and unharmed, since I can’t exactly say you were ‘unharmed’ I’m gonna have to use this.” He held up some cover up and a first aid kit.

 

She rolled her eyes. “Let me take off my shirt first.” She did but hurt her shoulder in the process.

 

“You ok?”-Vaughn

 

“My shoulder’s just a little sore from earlier, that’s all.”-Syd

 

“Oh.” He glanced at her stomach, the cuts were very bad and deep. “Did Sark do this to you?”

 

“Yeah, he did.”-Syd

 

“I’m gonna kill that bastard.” He grabbed some gauze and placed it over the horrible wounds on her stomach and put the bandages over it, there must have been about 7 inches high of cuts on her stomach. He gave her about 5 pain killers and started going through all his drawers for something Sydney possibly left behind when she came over so she’d look ‘presentable’ to Irina, Finally 10 minutes later he found a pair of her blue jeans and a sweater she must of left behind one day.

 

“Here.” He threw them over to her.

 

“Thanks, I owe you everything, my life, my heart, my soul…”

 

He cut her off. “You don’t owe me anything Sydney, I love you, I always will, I’ll never let anyone harm you in any way and if they do, I’ll just have to kill them.”

 

“I love you.”-Syd

 

“I love you too, now go change so your mom doesn’t kill me.”-Vaughn

 

“Fine.”

 

She quickly changed, waiting for Vaughn to carry her to the car.

 

“You ready?”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah.”-Syd

 

“Good.” He picked her up and carried her out to the car.

 

 

IRINA’S APARTMENT

 

Vaughn carried her out of the car and set her down on the grass.

 

“Why aren’t we just going inside?”-Syd

 

“Just get off your butt and put your arm around my neck and walk because I don’t want your mom to kill me.”-Vaughn

 

“Fine, but it hurts to walk.”-Syd

 

“If you fall, then I’ll carry you, but otherwise, you’ll live.”-Vaughn

 

She put her arm around Vaughn’s neck and stood up, the two of them walked over to the door, Vaughn knocked. Irina ran over to the door and opened it.

 

“Oh my god, Sydney, you’re here?”-Irina

 

“Be nice.”-Vaughn

 

“Why wouldn’t I be?”-Irina

 

“You’re not gonna shoot me, are you?”-Syd

 

“What?”-Irina

 

“No, before Vaughn brought me back, I shot 4 people at the pier and then I made out with Sark and Vaughn shot me and then you shot me and then I tried to commit suicide at Weiss’ apartment and then I woke up in a dirty cell in Sloane and Sark’s warehouse.”-Syd

 

“He must of put you in an alternate reality of some sort.”-Irina

 

“But how?”-Syd

 

“That’s just get inside and see what’s going on before we get into this.”-Irina

 

“Fine.”-Syd

 

They all went inside.

 

INSIDE

 

Irina carefully inspected Sydney’s body, the thing was she didn’t even know about or see her wounds, so as far as Irina knew, her daughter was fine, until Sydney tried to get up off the couch, tripped and screamed revealing the bandaged up wounds on her stomach. Irina walked over to Sydney and saw what she shouldn’t have.

 

“Michael, what happened to her?”-Irina

 

“Sark tortured her.”-Vaughn

 

“What?”-Irina

 

Vaughn helped Syd back up onto the couch. “She was tortured, be nice to her, understand she doesn’t really wanna talk about it.”

 

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know.”-Irina

 

“It’s ok, really.”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah, I’m fine, really.”-Syd

 

“You sure about that? Cause I can always have you both stay here and help you out.”-Irina

 

“Really, we’re ok.”-Vaughn

 

“I just wanna help.”-Irina

 

“I’m fine, all right, I don’t need any help, I have Michael, if I need anything I’ll make sure to call you.” She got up and walked to the door.

 

“Sydney, wait.”-Irina

 

“What?”-Syd

 

“Just come here.”-Irina

 

“Ok.” She walked back over to the couch and sat down. “What do yah wanna tell me?”

 

“I just think that he’ll most-likely brake into your house first and kill you.”-Irina

 

“She’s right, we should stay here.”-Vaughn

 

“She lies, she always lies.”-Syd

 

“What?”-Irina

“You wanted to take me somewhere and make me live as the one in the prophecy.”-Syd

 

“What?”-Vaughn and Irina

 

“Yeah, don’t you remember?”-Syd

 

“He defiantly put you in some kind of alternate reality.”-Irina

 

“Also, Sloane implanted ‘the telling’ in my stomach.”-Syd

 

“What?”-Vaughn

 

“Again, I’ll say it one more time, she was probably in an alternate reality for about 9 months.”-Irina

 

All of the sudden a gray van pulled up in the driveway and two people went along the side of the apartment.

 

CHAPTER 3 - LAST CHANCE

 

The first man pointed his gun at the window and shot, Irina, Vaughn and Syd ducked. Both men got inside and hide behind Them. Vaughn pulled out his gun, Irina did the same, only she handed hers to Sydney.

 

“Here, take this, you’re going to need it.” She pulled out a second gun from under the couch.

 

The second man shot three times, hitting the wall. Vaughn ran to the other side of the apartment and hid in a closet, while Irina and Syd hid behind the chair in the corner. The first man shot, Sydney gasped in pain. Irina looked over to see her daughter clutching her arm. “Sydney, Oh my god.” she wrapped her arms around her daughter and ran across the room. Syd grabbed her gun out of her other hand and shot both men, they were both dead. Vaughn opened the closet door.

 

“See what I mean, they came here first.”-Syd

 

Vaughn ran over to his poor wife, kissed her on the head and carried her out of the apartment, Irina followed. She had gone through so much and then she had to be shot the first day she had been back from whatever hell she was put through by Sloane and Sark.

 

As they got into the car Irina had only one thought, to leave the country, for her, Sydney and Michael to leave the country, to be where Sark and Sloane least expected them to be.

 

“Sydney, go in the back with Michael, I’ll drive.”-Irina

“Ok.” They all got in the car.

 

“Syd, you ok?”-Vaughn

 

“Just my arm, it fucking hurts.”-Syd

 

“Before you even think about cutting off your arm, just pull the freaking bullet out with your fingers.”-Irina

 

“What?”-Syd and Vaughn

 

“I did it, it helps a lot.”-Irina

 

She pulled out the bullet. “Now that’s better.”

 

Vaughn moved closer to her, she leaned her head on his shoulder. “I love you.”

 

“It’s gonna be all right, I won’t leave anybody try to kill you anymore, I’ll protect you forever, for eternity.”-Vaughn

 

“I have a place on an island just off of Green Land, it’s freezing, but no one will find us there.”-Irina

 

“What?”-Syd and Vaughn

 

“Do you wanna die?”-Irina

 

“No.” -Syd and Vaughn

 

“Then you’ll gather your things and I’ll take you to the air port in the morning.”-Irina

 

“Fine.”-Syd and Vaughn

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Syd sat on Vaughn’s bed icing her arm while Vaughn searched for clothes.

 

“Are you ever gonna find me anything?”

 

“Actually, I did.” He handed her a box of clothes and stuff.

 

“Wait, this is from before, no after our wedding…”

 

He cut her off. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

 

“No, don’t be sorry, it was never your fault that I disappeared that day.”-Syd

 

“Yeah, it was Syd, we had an argument, I left for 3 hours and when I came back there was blood all over my apartment and you were just gone.”-Vaughn

 

“That doesn’t mean it was your fault.”-Syd

 

“Yeah, it does Syd, I love you and I let you disappear for almost a year, it was wrong of me to do that.”-Vaughn

 

“Listen, it wasn’t your fault ok, none of that was, so just stop it and leave me the hell alone about it. Don’t you know when to stop?” She got up and left the room leaving Vaughn alone in his thoughts. But then he got up and ran into the living room to see Sydney pointing a gun to her head.

 

“Sydney, don’t do this.”-Vaughn

 

“It’s all over, Michael, it’s all over, he said it was my destiny to die, let me just give him what he wants.”-Syd

 

“No, don’t do that, Sydney, don’t ever, I love you, don’t do this, please, I care too much, I care about you too much.”

 

Irina walked into the room. “Sydney, put that down now.”

 

“No, he said it was my destiny to die.”-Syd

 

“Who said that?”-Irina

 

“Sloane.” She put her finger on the trigger.

 

Irina went over to her and yanked the gun out of her hand.

 

“That’s it, no more guns, no more weapons in this house, at least none of them will be around you. That was your last chance, you blew it, no more guns for you.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 4 - SUICIDAL SYDNEY

 

“Mom.”-Syd

 

“No buts about it, you’re not gonna commit suicide, you’re not gonna get killed, you’re not gonna die.”-Irina

 

“She’s right, now knock it off.”-Vaughn

 

“You started it.” She ran off.

 

“What did you do?”-Irina

 

“I blamed myself for what happened to her, she ran off cause I wouldn’t stop saying it was my fault and then I saw her with a gun.”-Vaughn

 

“She’s very stubborn, but she doesn’t strike me as the type that would wanna commit suicide. She did jump off of the 5^th floor of the CIA hospital, now this.”-Irina

 

“I know, it’s starting to bother me too.”-Vaughn

 

“Supervise her at all times, keep all guns with you, I’ll keep some with me, if somebody brakes into our house or something, give her a weapon, but if she puts it to her head, rip it out of her hand immediately.”-Irina

 

“I’ll try.”-Vaughn

 

“Aren’t there doctors who can help with matters like this?”-Irina

 

“But she’s a spy, she’ll never go to one, she’ll find any way not to.”-Vaughn

 

“I doubt it, I doubt she really wants to die, like in many situations, it’s more like she thinks it’s the only alternative to pain and fear brought on by events in her life. I doubt she wants to die, she just thinks it’s the only way out.”-Irina

 

“I’ll take her to one, but she was an agent, she belongs in a safe house, or witness protection, not that she’d ever go through that, but if she told someone everything, confidential or not, it doesn’t matter, it just might be bad for her.”-Vaughn

 

“Then take her back to the damn CIA and tell them she needs a suicide counselor.”-Irina

 

“I don’t think there is such a thing and besides, I don’t want her to end up in some kind of mental institution.”-Vaughn

“Try a CIA counselor, I don’t know, marriage counseling for the two of you, whatever’s best.”-Irina

 

They were so busy taking about the best way to handle Sydney that they didn’t even think about where she was, in truth she was barely behind the couch, listening to their every word.

 

Sydney’s POV

 

What the hell are they thinking? I’m not going to a fucking counselor, if I ever would have to see a CIA counselor, I’d chop everyone’s heads off, no jokes about it, I’d rather die than see one. My mother and my husband have gone insane, why would they do this to me? What do they think I am, some insane person who wants to end the world? When I think about that, that’s not such a bad idea, death, the pleasure, it’s everything.

 

No POV

 

“She needs to see someone, but the CIA would be so creepy to her, they’d act like she was a death worshiper or something, they’d want to give her the death penalty any way for some insane reason.”-Vaughn

 

“Then go to somebody who would understand her and do the best for her, not the best for the country.”-Irina

 

“Who would that be?”-Vaughn

 

“A little something I found a while ago.” She pulled out a business card and handed it to him. “I doubt he’d mind canceling all his other appointments for her.”

 

“You don’t know what you’re doing, since when is Jack some kind of counselor?”-Vaughn

 

“Since he quit the CIA.”-Irina

 

“But this is still gonna be hard, she’ll do anything to not see him, I know this.”-Vaughn

 

“If she won’t go, make her go.”-Irina

 

Sydney’s POV

 

What the fuck are they trying to do to me? Jack? My fake father? This is shit, what are they trying to do to me?

 

No POV

 

Sydney stood up from behind the couch and was about to walk out of the room, but suddenly she was stopped.

 

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”-Irina

 

“What are you talking about?”-Syd

 

“You know what I’m talking about.”-Irina

 

“Why are you doing this to me? I’m your only daughter, I just wanna die, that’s all, it’s not a crime.”-Syd

 

“I won’t let my only daughter die.”-Irina

 

Sydney saw a gun on the table, she thought about shooting Irina, but then Irina kicked her, causing her to fall to the ground.

 

“Screw you bitch.”

 

“How dare you talk like that to your mother, I was just keeping you from grabbing a gun.”-Irina

 

Vaughn helped her up. “What has gotten into you Sydney?”

 

“I’ll ask you the same question.”-Irina

 

“What’s your problem?”-Syd

 

“Nothing, but we both think you desperately need to see a counselor, so you’re going to see someone.”-Irina

 

“Why do you want this for me?”-Syd

 

“Sydney, you need it, you will go, you will stop this suicide crap and I mean it.”-Irina

 

“When does the torture start?”-Syd

 

“Tomorrow morning since I’ve decided we’re not leaving to the island until after this gets resolved.”-Irina

 

“Fine.”-Syd

 

 

CHAPTER 5 - LET THE TORTURING BEGIN

 

16 HOURS LATER - MONDAY MORNING AT NOON

 

Sydney got out of the bathroom, she knew there was no way out of this, it would just have to be the way it was. She quickly put a few bandages over the bullet hole on her shoulder, then got dressed and headed for the kitchen, but she was stopped by Irina.

 

“I wanna talk with you.”

 

“About what?”-Syd

 

“About what I did to you yesterday.”-Irina

 

“Oh.”-Syd

 

“I didn’t mean to make you angry, I just think it’d be best for you to see someone about this.”-Irina

 

“It’s really ok.”-Syd

 

“I just don’t wanna see you dead and buried in a Grave yard, I love you Sydney, nothing will ever change that, just stop this, help me by seeing this poor man who would love to help you.”-Irina

“Fine, I said I will, stop it, just listen to me for once.” She walked to the kitchen.

 

As she entered the kitchen, she began to feel strange, something about Vaughn standing behind her worried, just staring scared her a little.

 

“So do you have some problem with me, your wife all of the sudden?”

 

“No, Sydney, I just love you.”-Vaughn

 

“Don’t treat me any different than you used to.”-Syd

 

“Sorry, I really am, I’ll treat you like the old Sydney.”-Vaughn

 

“If you’re gonna be like this, maybe we should just get a divorce.”-Syd

 

“No, listen to me, I love you Sydney, don’t make it be this way, I’ll go with you.”-Vaughn

 

“You’d really do that?”-Syd

“Yeah.”-Vaughn

 

THE SHRINK’S OFFICE

 

Sydney sat down in the waiting room, fearing he’d put her on medication or something, but then Vaughn sat down next to her.

“He said we could go in now.”

 

“All right.”

 

The two of them walked to his office and went inside.

 

“Sydney, hi.”-Jack

 

“Hi.” She looked down.

 

“Sydney, everything’s gonna be ok, I promise, now just stop panicking.” Vaughn whispered to her so no one could hear.

 

“Just sit down, I’m not going to harm you in any way, remember, I was a father to you, not by birth, but why does that matter?”-Jack

 

They both sat down.

 

“So what brings you here?”-Jack

 

“My insane mother.”-Syd

 

Vaughn rolled his eyes. “My wife has been wanting to commit suicide lately.”

 

“Liar.”-Syd

 

“I’m not lying, she really did, she held a gun up to her head yesterday.”-Vaughn

 

“Sydney, what’s this about trying to commit suicide?”-Jack

 

“I didn’t do anything.”-Syd

 

“Liar, about 11 months ago, she jumped off the 5^th floor of the CIA hospital and she almost died.”-Vaughn

 

“So.”-Syd

“Sydney, tell the truth.”-Jack

 

“Ok, maybe I did hold a gun up to my head and wish to pull the trigger, but I didn’t, did I?”-Syd

 

“The only reason you didn’t was because Irina pulled it out of your hand.”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah, I know.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, why are you doing this?”-Jack

 

“Because I don’t wanna live this life anymore.”-Syd

 

“What are you saying?”-Jack

 

“She was being tortured for almost 9 months, I found her, rescued her and have been  treating her different than I did before she disappeared and she hates me for that, I’ll try to treat her the same as I did but it’ll be hard, she’s not the same Sydney I knew a year ago, she’s some suicidal creep.”-Vaughn

 

“I’m not a suicidal creep.”-Syd

 

“Yeah, you are.”-Vaughn

 

“No, I’m not.” She slapped him in the face.

 

“See what I mean, she’s so violent.”-Vaughn

 

“Ok, lets just take this one step at a time. Sydney, you want to commit suicide because you’re always getting hurt and don’t want to take anymore pain, plus your husband is treating you different than before and everyone is making you feel like you can’t do anything for yourself?”-Jack

 

“Yes, exactly, my mother wants me to move to some fucking island because she thinks I’m going to get killed.”-Syd

 

“She just wants to protect you.”-Vaughn

 

“She wanted me to stay with her to live for a while, I’m married, I wanna live with my husband, not my mother.”-Syd

 

“Are you injured?”-Jack

 

“No.”-Syd

 

“Yes, she is.”-Vaughn

 

“No, I’m not.”-Syd

 

“Liar.”-Vaughn

 

“I’m not a liar.”-Syd

 

“Yes, you are.”-Vaughn

 

“No I’m not.” She slapped Vaughn again, but this time even harder.

 

Vaughn backed away. “She’s so freaking violent.”

 

“I can see that, Sydney, go to the other side of the room please.”-Jack

 

“Why should I do that?”-Syd

 

“Either you do that or you stop hitting your husband.”-Jack

 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to, I don’t know what came over me.”-Syd

 

“It’s ok, you’ve been through a lot.” He moved closer to her, she leaned into him.

 

“At first I wanted you to go to an anger management center, but you’re temper isn’t that bad, I’ve seen way worse.”-Jack

 

Sydney stared in confusion.

 

“All I’ve observed so far is that you don’t seem to tell the truth unless your husband forces it out of you.”-Jack

 

“So maybe I lie to people I don’t exactly trust.”-Syd

 

“I also just want to say to your husband that I think he should act no different around you just because you’re injured or you were tortured. Plus, about the suicide thing, remove all weapons from your house.”-Jack

 

“Irina already hid them somewhere out of the house.”-Vaughn

 

 

“Good, and Sydney, I would think it’d be good for you to see me once every month until further notice.”-Jack

 

“What?”-Syd

 

“Yes, once a month.”-Jack

 

CHAPTER 6 - THE ESCAPE

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Sydney heard a noise in the house, she didn’t know what it was, but she needed a weapon, something that could kill whoever was trying to disturb her. She looked through all the drawers in Vaughn’s bedroom to find a knife, a huge one with a huge blade, she held it up and walked down the hall.

 

“Sydney, put that damn thing down now, I don’t want anyone’s heads getting chopped off.”

 

“Oh, sorry, I thought you were Sark or somebody.”-Syd

 

“Oh.”

 

“Michael, I’m sorry about yesterday, I didn’t mean to hit you, I didn’t know what I was doing, I’m sorry.”-Syd

 

“Don’t be sorry, I love you, I get it, I really do, just let me love you.” He went over to her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her about 5 or 6 times.

 

All of a sudden, 8 guys with guns came in and surrounded them, Sydney held up her knife and stabbed 3 of them, obviously that didn’t bother them. She accidentally dropped it and fell trying to get away. Vaughn grabbed his gun out of his pocket and shot 3 of them down, they were dead, but there were 5 more to kill. One of them grabbed the knife on the ground and stabbed Syd in her side.

 

“Owwwwwww.” Syd screamed

 

Vaughn continued shooting them all down until he was out of bullets, but one of them got back up and knocked him over before he could get over to Syd.

 

“Irina, get your ass over here now.”-Vaughn

 

Irina came running into the room. “Sorry ‘bout that.” She grabbed a knife out of a drawer and stabbed the guy, they were all dead.

They both ran over to Syd, who was bleeding heavily onto the floor.

 

“She’s going to need stitches badly.”-Irina

 

“I agree.”-Vaughn

 

“Just get me to the fucking hospital then.”-Syd

 

“All right, we will.”-Vaughn

 

Irina carried her to the car and they all got in.

 

HOSPITAL - 5 HOURS LATER

 

Irina and Vaughn sat in the waiting room hoping she was ok, she had lost a lot of blood. A nurse walked over to them.

 

“Is she ok?”-Irina

 

“She was bleeding internally, but she’s alive, she had severe kidney damage, but she had a transplant, one thing was odd though. She had several cuts on her stomach.”-Nurse

 

“Would you think I was insane if I said she was tortured?”-Vaughn

 

“No, that makes more sense than a theory the surgeon had.”-Nurse

 

“Was there anything else?”-Irina

 

“She had a bullet hole in her left arm, but that’s not really a huge concern, but we did find heroine in her blood.”-Nurse

 

“Oh.”-Irina

 

 “Can we see her.”-Vaughn

 

“Sure, room 3917.”-Nurse

 

“Thanks.”-Irina and Vaughn

 

They both walked down the hall.

 

“What’s this about heroine?”-Irina

 

“I’m not sure.”-Vaughn

 

They walked inside the room.

 

Irina stood by the doorway as Vaughn walked up to her. He sat down next to her, held her hand and kissed it.

 

“Sydney, it’s me Michael, you might wanna wake up.”

 

She opened her eyes. “Hey.”

 

“How are you doing?”-Vaughn

 

“I’m fine, I guess, just a little sore.”-Syd

 

“You ok?”-Vaughn

 

“It’s just every time I turn around somebody wants to kill me.”-Syd

 

“Baby, it’s ok, you’ll be fine, I promise I’ll protect you from any bastards that want to or try to kill you.”-Vaughn

 

“Promise?”-Syd

 

“Yeah.”-Vaughn

 

Syd had an evil grin on her face. “Just sneak me out of this place, please.”

 

“No, I can’t, you’re in a hospital, you just got out of surgery.”-Vaughn

 

She started pouting. “Please, I’ll let you make love to me for 24 hours.”

 

“No.”-Vaughn

 

“I’ll let you treat me like I’m helpless for a week.”-Syd

 

“Fine, but this will never happen again.”-Vaughn

 

He helped her change into her clothes while Irina opened the window.

 

“Michael, you and Irina jump first, then once you’re both right next to each other, hold out your hands and catch me when I jump.”-Syd

 

“All right.”-Irina and Vaughn

 

Irina jumped, then Vaughn did, they both  held out their arms, Sydney stood in front of the window, climbed out and jumped.

 

CHAPTER 7 - THE PHONE CALL

 

She landed in Irina and Vaughn’s arms.

 

“Thanks.”-Syd

 

“No problem.”-Vaughn

 

“It was a easy, we just had to catch you.”-Irina

 

Syd moved in Vaughn’s arms. “I love you.”

 

“I love you too.”

 

“Lets go now, before they catch us.”-Irina

 

“Fine.”-Syd and Vaughn

 

They all got in the car and drove off.

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

They all walked back into the house.

 

“What are we gonna do about the bodies?”-Syd

 

They all looked into the kitchen to see they were all gone.

 

“I doubt we’ll have to do anything.”-Irina

 

“Why is it that they always get away?”-Syd

 

“I’m not sure.” He pushed her onto the couch. “Now don’t move let me go get you a bell.

 

“Vaughn, I’m not helpless.”-Syd

 

“It’s a small price you’ll have to pay for making me get you out of there.”-Vaughn

 

“No, I refuse to do this.” She got up and kicked him in the face. “No more treating me like I’m in a body cast, been there, done that, time to move on.”

 

“You, Sydney Bristow was in a body cast?”-Vaughn

 

“No, not really, but that’s not the point.”-Syd

 

“That’s what I thought.” He knocked her over.

 

“you’ll pay for that.” She got back up and knocked him down. “See what I mean.”

 

He caught her off guard and kicked her down to the ground, got on top of her and put her in a head lock.

 

“Shit.”-Syd

 

“I win! I best the famous Sydney Bristow!”-Vaughn

 

“Not yet.” She kicked him off of her and shoved him to the ground. She grabbed out a gun, pointing it at him.  

 

“Oh my god where’d you get that from?”-Irina

 

“Your bathroom drawer.”-Syd

 

Irina rolled her eyes. Syd handed her the gun.

 

“Thanks.”-Irina

 

“Whatever.” She looked at Vaughn who was on the ground in shock. “What, did you think I couldn’t do that?”

 

“Well, I don’t know, maybe.”-Vaughn

 

“Care for a round two?”-Syd

 

Vaughn rolled his eyes. “I’d rather die than get beat up by my wife.”

 

“Fine.” She walked away.

 

“You shocked too?”-Vaughn

 

“A little.”-Irina

“They say bed rest, I doubt that would count.”-Irina

 

“Don’t even go there.”-Vaughn

 

“I’m gonna go talk to her.” She left the room.

 

As she walked over to Sydney, she had about a million thoughts going through her mind, but they suddenly disappeared.

 

“What?”-Syd

 

“Just wanted to talk to you.”-Irina

 

“Just say it.”-Syd

 

“I’m not sure how.”-Irina

 

“Just say what you fucking want to.”-Syd

 

“At the hospital, they found heroine in your blood.”-Irina

 

“You’re asking me if I’m a drug addict?”-Syd

 

“Yes, I mean no.”-Irina

 

“I’m not a druggie.”-Syd

 

“Then why was there heroine in your blood?”-Irina

 

“So maybe I am addicted and it’s because of Sloane.”-Syd

 

“What?”-Irina

 

“Every night he’d inject me with some kind of liquid, he said it was heroine.”-Syd

 

“I’m gonna kill that bastard.”-Irina

 

“Fine with me.”-Syd

 

Vaughn came into the room.

 

“What?”-Syd and Irina

 

“I just got a really disturbing phone call from Sloane.”-Vaughn

 

CHAPTER 8 - A MEMORY FROM HELL

 

“What’d he say?”-Syd

 

“He said if I didn’t bring you to him at the Los Angeles airport in 24 hours, he’d hunt you down and kill you.”-Vaughn

 

“But how could he find me?”-Syd

 

“A tracking device maybe?”-Irina

 

“How do we know if he planted one?”-Vaughn

 

“A little somethin’ somethin’ I stole from the CIA two years ago.” She grabbed out her Tracking device detector. “It’s called locate and remove.”

 

Syd and Vaughn rolled their eyes

 

She ran it up and down Syd’s body until it beeped at her right shoulder.

 

“Bingo.”-Irina

 

“Are you gonna remove it?”-Syd

 

Irina pulled out a knife and made a small cut on the back of her shoulder, she took it out.

 

“Thanks.”-Syd

 

“I’m your mother, It’s my job to keep you away from your daddy.”-Irina

 

“Now you’re talking like me.”-Vaughn

 

“So.”-Irina

 

“At least now he can’t hunt me down and kill me.”-Syd

 

“Yeah.” Irina rolled her eyes. “My daughter is a fucking drug addict.”

 

“Hello, it’s not my fault.”-Syd

 

“Who’s a druggie?”-Vaughn

“Sydney.”-Irina

 

“I’m am not a druggie.”-Syd

 

“Yes, you are.”-Irina

 

“Sloane got me addicted.”-Syd

 

“So, you’re still a druggie.”-Irina

 

“Shut up.” She kicked Irina.

 

“Hey.” She kicked Sydney in the stomach sending her flying across the room and into a desk.

 

“Oh my god.” Vaughn ran over to her. “You ok?”

 

When he didn’t hear an answer he freaked. “Bitch, she won’t answer me, she can’t hear me, how could you?”

 

“Oh no, Sydney.” She ran over to her. “Try anything.”

 

He slapped her across the face, nothing. He grabbed a gun and hit her with it.

 

“What the fuck are you freaking people trying to do to me?”-Syd

 

“Thank god.”-Vaughn

 

“What?”-Syd

 

“Sorry for knocking you out.”-Irina

 

“Oh, that.”-Syd

 

Vaughn helped her up. “And she’s not a druggie, Irina, she may be addicted, but she hasn’t had any in a few days, leave her be.”

 

“Fine.” She left the room to go lay down.

 

“Sorry ‘bout that, that must of hurt to be thrown across the room by your mother.”-Vaughn

 

“No, not really.”-Syd

 

“You mad at me?”-Vaughn

 

“No, but I’m to the point of hating everybody else.”-Syd

 

“It’s ok baby, it’s all gonna be all right, I promise, now lets go have some fun, we don’t need to sit around here all day.”-Vaughn

 

“I love you.”-Syd

 

“I love you too, now let me go and do some things, I’ll be back in a while.”-Vaughn

 

“All right, bye.”-Syd

 

“Bye.” He kissed her on the forehead and left.

 

She went deep into thought

 

FLASH BACK

 

“We better get there fast or he’s gonna blow apart our car.”-Syd

 

“I know.”-Vaughn

 

Sark shot again, hitting the back seat of the car.

 

“Go faster.”-Syd

 

He sped up to 80 mph and drove around 3 neighborhoods and finally lost him. Syd kissed him, Vaughn kissed her back, she kissed him again. Vaughn wasn’t paying attention to where he was going and crashed in a house, leaving the two of them unconscious in an up-side-down car.

 

END FLASH BACK

 

She snapped out of the memory in shock. “It was all her fault, my mom‘s fault.”

 

Irina heard her talking and came into the room. “Who are you talking to?”

 

“No one, I was just thinking.”-Syd

 

“Oh.” She sat down next to her. “What’s wrong?”

 

“Nothing, I said nothing, can’t you take nothing as an answer?”-Syd

 

“I’m sorry, you just looked so hurt I thought I’d try to find out what’s bothering you.”-Irina

 

“You were there, weren’t you?”-Syd

 

“I was where?”-Irina

 

“At the house we crashed into, you were at the other side of the house, by the window.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, what are you talking about?”-Irina

 

“The night I wanted Vaughn to drive faster to get away from Sark so we accidentally drove into a house. I can still remember the address, it was 717 77^th street.”-Syd

 

“Oh.”-Irina

 

“You bitch.”-Syd

 

“What’d I do?”-Irina

 

CHAPTER 9 - MOTHER VS DAUGHTER

 

“You made the fucking brakes on the car not work.”-Syd

 

“I did not.”-Irina

 

“Yeah, you did.”-Syd

 

“I did not.”-Irina

 

“So you want me to believe you were cloned or you have a twin sister?”-Syd

 

“No, not that I don’t have a sister.”-Irina

 

“You have a sister?”-Syd

 

“She’s sort of a criminal mastermind.”-Irina

 

“This makes no fucking sense.”-Syd

 

“I have a sister who wants to take down the world because she thinks Rambaldi is going to end the world, she thinks he still lives.”-Irina

 

“What the fuck?”-Syd

 

“Stop cussing at me for one second please.”-Irina

 

“Why should I, I can do whatever I want.”-Syd

 

“Because I’m your mother.”-Irina

 

“Shut your fucking mouth, you were never my mother.”-Syd

 

“Wanna have your DNA tested so I can prove you wrong?”-Irina

 

“So what if you are my birth mother, you never were there, if you don’t want me to cuss at you, you should of raised me right when I was 6 like a proper mother would do.” She walked away.

 

Irina ran after her and knocked her down. “Wait.”

 

“What?”-Syd

 

“I love you Sydney, you’re my daughter.” She helped her up. “I’m sorry.”

 

“You’ve hurt me too many times.”-Syd

 

“What can I do to make you trust me?”-Irina

 

“Just stop hurting me.”-Syd

 

“All right, I’ll start controlling my anger around you.”-Irina

 

“Better start now.” She punched Irina in the face. “That was just my revenge.” She hit her in the stomach. “That was round two.” She hit her again. “That was round three.” She kicked her down. “That was round four.” She walked away.

 

“Sorry Sydney.”-Irina

 

She turned around. “If you’re really sorry, prove it.”

 

“I will.”-Irina

 

SWITZERLAND - SLOANE’S WAREHOUSE

 

Sark walked into Sloane’s office.

 

“I still can’t believe she escaped.”

 

“I know, that’s why I sent 8 of my men out to kill her.”-Sloane

 

“Did they come back yet?”-Sark

 

“Yes, but with serious wounds.”-Sloane

 

“We need her dead before she becomes immortal.”-Sark

 

“I’m quite aware of that.”-Sloane

 

“Do you know when she’ll become immortal?”-Sark

 

“On October 1^st.”-Sloane

 

“It’s September 10^th today sir, we don’t have much time.”-Sark

 

“I’m sending 20 men out to kill her.”-Sloane

 

“Great.” He walked out.

 

WEISS’ APARTMENT

 

“So how’s she doing?”-Weiss

 

“Ok, I guess, but she did become addicted to heroine when she was being held captive.”-Vaughn

 

“We’re talking about Sydney, the girl who we saved, the one you fell in love with the first day on the job?”-Weiss

 

“Yes, Eric, her, the only Sydney we know.”-Vaughn

 

“But how is she, you know, with everything that happened?”-Weiss

 

“Ok, I guess, but Irina’s been giving her a bad time lately.”-Vaughn

 

“Irina Derevko is Irina Derevko.”-Weiss

 

“Yeah, I know.”-Vaughn

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Some men broke in without making any noise. Sydney turned around and grabbed a gun off the table.  “Please tell me this isn’t happening.”

 

One of the men grabbed her from behind and threw her onto the ground.

 

“Shit.” She got up and kicked them down, then she shot them all about 7 or 8 times. “Mom”

 

“What?”-Irina

 

“Get your ass over here.”-Syd

 

“One second.” She ran down the hall to see abut 20 dead guys. “What the hell was going on in here?”

 

“Someone sent these idiotic creeps after me, probably to kill me.”-Syd

 

“I’ll go get rid of the bodies.”-Irina

 

“Go idea.”-Syd

 

Irina slowly dragged two bodies at a time over to a dumpster behind her house and dumped them in, she came back about 20 minutes later.

 

“They’re all gone, right?”-Syd

 

“Yeah, they’re gone.”-Irina

 

CHAPTER 10 - COMING BACK TO KILL

 

Vaughn walked into his apartment to see Sydney throwing knives at the wall.

 

“Why are you destroying my wall?”-Vaughn

 

“No reason.”-Syd

 

“If you’re angry, get it out some other way than ruining my walls, I don’t have any more spackle here to fill in the holes.”-Vaughn

 

“Sure, whatever.” She walked over to Vaughn leaving a bunch of knives stuck into the wall.

 

“Where yah been?”

 

“Just out.”-Vaughn

 

“I see.” She kissed him.

“Come on, what’s up?”-Vaughn

 

“Just missed you.”-Syd

 

“Explains.” He kissed her and walked over to the couch and turned on the TV.

 

She walked up behind him and dumped a hole bunch of popcorn on his head.

 

“Hey.” He pulled her onto the couch. “Why’d you do that?”

 

“You weren’t paying any attention to me, your wife over here who had been waiting for you to come home for over 4 hours now.”-Syd

 

“Sorry.” He kissed her.

 

“I love you.”-Syd

 

“I love you too.” He kissed her again.

 

Irina walked into the room in fright when she saw the knives stuck in the wall and popcorn all over the floor and couch.

 

“What was going on in here?”

 

“Nothing.”-Syd and Vaughn

 

“Tell me what happened.”-Irina

 

“We got a little wild.”-Syd

 

“We?”-Vaughn

 

Syd slapped him. “Knock it off.”

 

“Ow.”-Vaughn

 

Syd giggled. “Sorry.”

 

He pulled her into his lap. “I missed you when you were gone.”

 

“I know.”-Syd

 

“Your mom threatened to kill me if I didn’t bring you back in 48 hours about 7 hours before I found you.”-Vaughn

 

“What?”-Syd

 

“Hey.”-Irina

 

“You did?”-Syd

 

“Yeah, I did.”-Irina

 

“Why?”-Syd

 

“She was mad that I didn’t find you yet.”-Vaughn

 

“I got a little emotional from your disappearance.”-Irina

 

“I can tell.”-Syd

 

SLOANE’S WAREHOUSE

 

Sloane walked down an extremely long aisle of prison cells and finally reach the one he was looking for.

 

“Damn it, Sloane, when are you gonna send me out on a mission again?”

 

“Alice, I only brought you back because I for saw something that I knew I’d need you to help me with, that is the death of Sydney Vaughn. She will turn immortal on October 1^st.”-Sloane

 

“When did you for see her turning immortal on that date?”-Alice

 

“During the last week I kept her in an alternate reality.”-Sloane

 

“And you want me to kill her?”-Alice

 

“She’s found a way to kill and injure all of my men, you’re my last hope, Alice, I found you in a garbage can and brought you here thinking you’d help me since Sark said he knew you. But in the last 7 months you’ve been in this cell, you couldn’t find the icy pit in your heart that she gave you that day you met her, the day you met Sydney Bristow, my daughter.”-Sloane

 

“Why in hell would you want me to kill your daughter?”-Alice

 

“Because she’ll become immortal soon.”-Sloane

 

“That still doesn’t answer my question, why would you want to kill your daughter?”-Alice

 

“It’s personal.”-Sloane

 

“Fine, I’ll respect that.”-Alice

 

He opened the door on her cell and the two of them walked out.

 

“Just one question, how did you bring me back?”-Alice

 

“Rambaldi, Rambaldi brought you back.”-Sloane

 

CHAPTER 11 - HORRIBLE THOUGHTS

 

“What?”-Alice

 

“You’ll get over the shock, he’s dead, but he’s got many ways of resurrecting the dead that are needed.”-Sloane

 

“Fine, but when I’m done with her, it’s you I will be killing.”-Alice

 

2 DAYS LATER

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Alice walked along the back of the apartment, waiting for the right time to make the kill, but as soon as she did Sydney walked out of the house, dressed in all leather clothes holding a gun, her hope was far gone.

 

“Why do you want to kill me?”-Alice

 

“Because you’re dead.”-Syd

 

“I was revived.”-Alice

 

“Shut the hell up.”-Syd

 

“I was, really.”-Alice

 

“Go to hell.”-Syd

 

“Been there, done that, now I’m back.”-Alice

 

Sydney just rolled her eyes. “I’m evil, Alice, you know that, right?”

“Really?” She rolled her eyes.

 

“Yeah.” She pointed her gun at Alice and shot. “What the fuck?”

 

“I’m dead, remember?” She walked away.

 

“Damn it.” She walked back into the house. “Michael.”

 

Vaughn walked up to Syd to see her dressed in leather holding a gun.

 

“Put that thing down.” He reached for the gun, but before he got a chance to grab it, she threw him to the ground.

 

“Hey.”

 

“She’s alive, Michael, she’s alive.”-Syd

 

“Who’s alive, Syd, what are you talking about?”-Vaughn

 

“Alice, your dead ex wife that I killed, remember?”-Syd

 

“Oh, her.”-Vaughn

 

“I shot her outside about 5 minutes ago, she wasn’t even bleeding, she said she’s dead and I can’t kill her.”-Syd

 

“What?”-Vaughn

 

“Michael.”-Syd

 

“What?”-Vaughn

 

“You still love her, don’t you?”-Syd

 

“No, I don’t, Syd, why would you ever say that?”-Vaughn

 

“Liar, your boxers say Alice all over them.”-Syd

 

“You were in my under ware drawer?”-Vaughn

 

She slapped him. “Shut up.” She pointed her gun at him. “I hate you.”

 

“Syd, why’d you do that.” He looked at the gun pointed at him. “Irina.”

Irina ran into the room, saw Sydney with the gun, grabbed it from her and slapped her. Sydney got up and kicked Irina in the head, causing her to drop the gun, so she could get it back. She pointed it at Irina.

 

“What do you really want?”

 

“What the hell are you talking about?”-Irina

 

“You know what I’m talking about, mom.” She turned pointing the gun back at Vaughn. “Why do you love Alice, when you should love me?”

 

“Sydney, I love you, I promise.”-Vaughn

 

She rolled her eyes “How am I supposed to believe that when you write Alice on your boxers with permanent marker?”

 

He got up and threw her to the ground. “Sydney, stop it, just stop it.”

 

“Never.” She got up and kicked him in the groin.

 

“Owwww.”-Vaughn

 

“See what you get.” She looked back at Irina. “Mom, go to hell, I hate you, and all you want is to kill me.”

 

“Why would you say that?”-Irina

 

“Because it’s true.”-Syd

 

CHAPTER 12 - DISASTER

 

“What?”-Irina

 

Sydney rolled her eyes. “Tell me something new.”

 

Vaughn got up and pushed her down. “God Sydney, for once can you be the girl I married, not some insane freak.”

 

Sydney got up and pointed her gun at Vaughn. “This is it, I’m leaving, and it’s all your fault, Michael, it’s all your fault, I hate you.”

 

She grabbed her leather jacket and Vaughn’s keys and ran out the door.

Vaughn and Irina ran after her, but by the time the got out of the house, she had already left.

 

Irina rolled her eyes. “Now see what happens after you insult her?”

 

Vaughn glared at her. “Just shut up, none of this would of happened if we would of stopped her from leaving, although, I don’t see how we could have.”

 

“Michael, we don’t have a car, you have you realized she took the car about 2 minutes ago and will probably be out of the country in an hour? Cause if you haven’t, then take a look at reality for a second and pay attention.”-Irina

 

“She’s not gonna leave the country, she wouldn’t, she doesn’t have the nerve to.”-Vaughn

 

“You’re telling me she doesn’t? She’s gone crazy, she’s dressed in leather running around with a gun telling people things that she thinks are true about them and then she leaves.”-Irina

 

“This can not be happening.”-Vaughn

 

“Well it is, so get used to it.”-Irina

 

THE LOS ANGELES AIRPORT

 

Sydney got out of her car, put on her jacket and ran inside the airport. Once she got inside in side, she quickly disabled all the security cameras without anyone noticing and headed to go sneak through security check without anyone seeing her. Once she got to the security check area, some of the airport security saw her and called for assistance, but by the time they got there she was already gone, nobody knew where she went, until she came out from the bathroom and shot 3 of them, giving herself away. She looked the opposite direction and suddenly her world became black.

 

3 HOURS LATER

 

Sydney woke up with her hands and legs handcuffed to a chair that was bolted to the ground. She looked up to see three Army soldiers and the head of airport security staring at her.

 

“What do you want?”

 

“Why did you disable the security cameras and kill 3 people?”-Head of airport security

 

“I can’t say.”-Sydney

 

“You’ll go to prison, if you like it or not, but if you’re nice to me, I can do my best to make you comfortable.”-Head of airport security

“I don’t want your help.” She broke out of the restrains and threw him down to the ground.

 

“Call in and tell the FBI that we have a suspected terrorist here.”-Head of airport security

 

“Yes, sir.”-Army soldier 1

 

Sydney ran, she ran for her life, she needed to leave, leave the country, but she couldn’t, not without an airplane, she needed help, but she couldn’t even ask Michael for help, it would be too risky, she only had one choice,  to turn to her worst enemy.

 

She ran into the airport and snuck onto a plane heading to Switzerland. Now no one would be able to find her now.

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

“She’s probably gone by now.”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah, she probably is.”-Irina

 

“Irina, she’s my wife, I love her with all my heart, but she’s gone completely insane. She is trying to commit suicide and then there’s all the weird mood changes, I’m scared of my own wife Irina, I’m scared of loosing Sydney to death and fear, the fear the grows within me.”-Vaughn

 

“Sydney’s strong, she’ll be ok, I think she just has some ‘issues’ to work on.”-Irina

 

“But Irina, I’m scared of loosing her, what if she dies, what if she’s gone forever after just one mistake? I couldn’t bare to live with myself if something happened to her, Irina, I’d end up committing suicide myself, she’s everything to me and without her, I’m nobody.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, I can promise you, she won’t die, at least she won’t be able to after October 1^st.”-Irina

 

“Why? What’s happening to her, Irina, will she be ok?”-Vaughn

 

“Yes, she’ll be fine, she’ll just become immortal that day.”-Irina

 

“No, I mean mentally able to face life? She seems to be suffering from some kind of anxiety from fear or some kind of alternate reality, I just need to find out why she’s running away, scared of us, what she’s really afraid of.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, she was missing for almost a year, and that was after she tried to commit suicide, as soon as we find her, and we will find her, I’m sure we’ll find out what she’s so afraid of and why she’s wanting to die, right now I’m just afraid for her, as you are, and I hope she doesn’t do anything too bad or stupid that we’ll have to take care of later, but all that matters at the moment is finding her, which I don’t yet know how to do.”-Irina

 

“Irina, you’re Sydney’s mother, ask yourself what she’d do and help me find her cause I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna last sitting here without knowing she’s safe, if she already did something stupid, then we’re already screwed, but at least help me find your daughter.”-Vaughn

 

“Alright Michael, I promise we’ll look for her and bring her back together, we just gotta hope she’ll come with us when we get to Switzerland.”-Irina

 

“Why would she want to go to Switzerland?”-Vaughn

“Sloane is there, why she would go to him, I don’t know, but she’s obviously lost her mind right now and she desperately needs our help, lets go get to the airport, we’re gonna need to hijack an airplane.”-Irina

 

“What the hell are you thinking Irina? We are trying to save her from Sloane for the third time in almost 2 years, this needs to end so we can live together in peace, just for once, I love Sydney and I’m sick of everything bad always happening to her.”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah, I’m gonna take care of this hell he’s put us through and I swear when I’m done killing him, everything will be the way we’ve always wanted it to be.”-Irina

 

“Thanks, but we should go now if you don’t want her to get there before us.”-Vaughn

 

“To the airport we go.” She grabbed a wire coat hanger and went outside, Vaughn followed. She stuck it in the neighbors key hole on the car door, turned it, the car was open, they would save Sydney no matter what.

 

They got in the car and drove away heading to the Los Angeles Airport to steal a plane.

 

CHAPTER 13 - SHATTERED TRUST

 

LOS ANGELES AIRPORT

 

Irina and Vaughn got out of the car and ran over to the airplane parking lot where the stole from last time, they found the plane they wanted got in and took off.

 

10 HOURS LATER

 

SWITZERLAND - AIRPORT

 

 

Sydney got off the airplane and headed toward the door, but then suddenly there was a gun to her head. She looked up to see Vaughn.

 

“What?” She grabbed the gun and put it in her other back pocket. “What do you want?”

 

“Sydney, come back, please, I promise I’ll help you with everything your going through right now, Sydney, I love you, now please come back to LA with us and be the Sydney you were before you jumped out that window on the fifth floor of the CIA hospital, please, Sydney, please just stop this, I love you and I don’t wanna loose you.”-Vaughn

 

She leaned into him. “Michael, I’m sorry, but he, he killed me, I don’t know why I’m here, I died, Weiss killed me, he threw me out of his car and ran me over and I died, Michael, I’m dead. And that was after you and my mother shot me at Sloane’s warehouse.”

 

“Baby, you never died, believe me when I say you never died, he put you in some sort of alternate reality and made it seem as though you died, when you never did, Sydney, I promise you, I’ll keep you safe, you’re forever mine, you know that right? Nobody’s ever gonna take you away from me, Sydney, you’re becoming immortal.”-Vaughn

 

“What?” She walked over to a bench and sat down, Vaughn sat down next to her.

 

“Sydney, you’re becoming immortal, on October 1^st, you’ll get older, but you’ll always look 30, forever, you’ll never die.”-Vaughn

 

“But, Michael, what if you die?” Pure sadness flashed through her mind as she thought of what a nightmare her life would be without him, she felt scared, lost, hopeless.

 

“Sydney, I promise, I’ll find a way to cheat death, I really do.”-Vaughn

 

She smiled. “I love you, and I will forever.”

 

“What about Alice showing up at my apartment?”-Vaughn

 

“I’m gonna find her and chop her up.”-Syd

 

He saw that she was serious and threw her into a table. She screamed, she was afraid of the world, and everyone along with it, she got up and limped to that bathroom and slammed the door, she ran into a stall and locked it, she cried, she cried until her had no more tears left, she hurt inside, she felt as though there was a hole in her heart, as though she had died in pain, every time he accidentally hurt her, she felt that way, she felt crushed, broken, like someone had shattered her into a million pieces, like there was no hope.

 

All of a sudden she heard someone pounding on the door, it was Vaughn.

“Sydney, are you ok? Please come out, I’m so sorry, I never meant to hurt you, please, just please forgive me, I love you, remember that, Sydney, I’d die for you, I’d give up everything, just come out, I’m already in the women’s bathroom, save me from the embarrassment and please, please come out and let me know you’re ok, Sydney, I’ll love you forever.”

 

She knew he was sorry, that he didn’t know what he was doing, but he hurt her, not only physically, but mentally too. She unlocked the door and limped out of the stall to see Vaughn, she could tell he was hurting inside for what he did to her.

 

He saw her and became even more hurt and pissed at himself for hurting her, he walked up to her and carefully picked her up and sat down.

 

She was mad at him, but she almost couldn’t be, she loved him so much, he was the only one she could trust, she had to forgive him, he was her only hope in life.

 

“Did I hurt you? If I did, I’m sorry, I’ll never hurt you again, Sydney, I love you, now just forgive me.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, I understand that you don’t like it when I’m serious about killing people, but when it’s necessary, which is really is right now, just accept it, Michael, you did hurt me, inside and outside and I’m ok with that, people make mistakes, I get that.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, no you don’t get it, I hurt you, don’t let me get away with it just because I’m your husband, let me help fix everything I’ve screwed up, just let me clean up my mess.”-Vaughn

 

She held her leg, it felt broken, just like she was, Vaughn knew what he did, and he wouldn’t let her forgive him, he hurt her and he felt awful, he felt as though he had died.

 

“Alright, fine, I think my leg is broken anyways.”-Syd

 

“Come on, Irina’s waiting, I’ll carry you out if you want, just come with me.”-Vaughn

 

She knew she couldn’t stay there, she didn’t even have any rooms booked, she just assumed she’d stay at Sloane’s, so she decided to go back to LA.

 

“I’ll come back, just be careful with me, I’m not unbreakable for another two weeks.”-Syd

 

“Of course I will Sydney, I never wanna hurt you.” He got up off the floor, with Sydney in his arms and the two of them walked out of the airport.

 

Once they got outside, they saw Irina, she was getting impatient, anyone would know that just by the way she stood there looking like she was gonna kill somebody.

“I see you found her after 3 hours, what took you so long?”

 

“We were talking and then she said something about chopping up Alice, then I threw her into a table and she ran into the bathroom hurt and broken hearted. I think she broke her leg when I threw her into the table.”-Vaughn

 

Sydney slapped Vaughn in the face really hard.

 

“Ow.”-Vaughn

 

“You hurt me, I hurt you, and believe me when I say, what I just did was only round one.” She jumped out of his arms and limped onto the airplane.

 

“Michael, I’m mad, but I understand some people just do stupid things when they’re angry, but this is Sydney, she’ll forgive you, but she’ll still hold a grudge against you forever, I’m sure you know this, but I’m just reminding you, help her, don’t make things even worse. If you make this even worse, she’ll hate you, and she always will, Michael, don’t waste your chances, especially not the chances you have left with Sydney.”-Irina

 

“I won’t, I promise, I’ll try to control my anger, I won’t hurt her again, I promise.”-Vaughn

 

“Thank you Michael, now go take care of her, I’ll get us back to LA, you do the rest.”-Irina

 

“All right.”

 

They both got into the plane, and seconds later they were on there way back to LA.

 

Sydney kissed Vaughn. He kissed her back, then he looked into her eyes and knew this was his last chance, his last chance to stay with her forever.

 

CHAPTER 14 - DOOMS DAY

 

7 HOURS LATER

 

LOS ANGELES AIRPORT

 

They all got off the plane, but as soon as they did, they were doomed, Sydney was doomed, it was all over, their peace, their happiness, their love, it was all over.

 

Sark was there, with some men. Sydney stabbed him, but that didn’t stop his men from attaching her and shooting her with a tranquillizer dart. They went after Irina and Vaughn, but they shot them with tranquillizer darts too and left them on the airport floor, they carried Sydney out heading to their hide out.

3 HOURS LATER

 

SARK’S HIDE OUT

 

Sydney woke up in a cell, her leg hurt badly, she was all alone, without anyone to comfort her and save her from the darkness that was slowly consuming her. She couldn’t save herself from the pain in her heart that she’s had ever since she woke up in Switzerland. It was too late, she was doomed, if Sark wasn’t going to kill her, he’d torture her instead, but it would most likely be the kind of torture that can injure a person forever, mental torture, that was Sark’s favorite game.

 

Sydney knew she wouldn’t last long, her fears were already killing her, slowly, but painfully, they were overtaking her, causing her to fear even those she loved, those she knew loved her. Vaughn loved her, but she let him fear her, she let the fear growing inside of her consume her, until she was no longer in charge of her emotions, she let her anger take over and destroy her, she let her hate for everyone come before her love for everyone.

 

She felt like a horrible person, but yet, she wasn’t, she just has become one over time due to the wall of fear others have built up inside of her forever. She knew she had to be saved from the darkness that was slowly consuming her, Vaughn could do that, he could save her, he could save her from herself, from what she is turning into. She knew he would find her and help her become the person she once was, but it would take time, that is, if she could ever be that Sydney again, she doubted she could, things were different now, so different.

 

All of a sudden, Anna approached her cell, she seemed more welcoming than usual, but she didn’t mind, she knew Sark couldn’t be playing with her mind, she felt too alive and her world felt too real for it to be some game of his.

 

Anna opened the cell door, she went in, Sydney couldn’t take it anymore, she knew something was up.

 

“What the hell do you want?”

 

“So that’s what I get for checking up on you making sure you haven’t planned some get away?”-Anna

 

“It figures, all you care about is this fucking game Sark wants you to play so he gets all the credit from Sloane.”-Syd

 

“Listen, Sloane wants Sark to kill you, he only has two more weeks left to do that, I’m pretty sure you know why, I could help you get out of here, but if you wanna be a bitch to me, I could just change the plan and kill you right now myself.”-Anna

 

“You don’t wanna help me, you just want to be on Sloane’s good side for once.” She punched her in the face.

 

“I’m pretty sure I deserved that, but still, Irina knows me, she knows I wouldn’t kill you voluntarily, it would only be for the pay, the money, the treasure.”-Anna

 

“I hate you, you don’t care about me, or my mother, or anyone, you’re just looking for and little fucking thing you can get out of an offer.”-Syd

 

“That’s it, I’ve had it, you had your chances.” She pulled out a knife and a gun. “Now I get to kill you.”

 

“Please, no, just give me a chance, I’ll do anything, just don’t kill me, please, don’t ruin this.”-Syd

 

“Ruin what? I didn’t plan to kill you anyway, I just love tricking people, especially you, into thinking I’m gonna kill you.”-Anna

 

“Go to hell.” She threw Anna against the side of the cell. “If you enjoyed pleasure in mind games, you would of at least used restrains.” She limped out of the cell and out of the building to find herself in the middle of LA. “Shit.” She ran into a portable toilet and locked the door, she searched through her pockets to find $20. She brushed through her hair and quickly looked for her cell phone, she found it. She dialed Vaughn’s number franticly waiting for him to answer it.

 

“Hello?”-Vaughn

 

“It’s me.”-Syd

 

“Where are you?”-Vaughn

 

“Some place in the middle of LA.”-Syd

 

“Can you give me a street?”-Vaughn

 

“No, they’re looking for me, just get your ass down to the south side of town and look for a gray warehouse that looks like it’s gonna fall down, then just look for a construction site and when you see a blue portable toilet thingy, just knock on the door.”-Syd

 

“Sure, I’ll be right there.”-Vaughn

 

“Alright, bye.”-Syd

 

“I love you.”-Vaughn

“I love you too, now, Michael can you please get your fucking ass over here.”-Syd

 

“Yeah, Sydney, I’ll be right there.”-Vaughn

 

“Thanks, bye.”-Syd

 

The line went dead.

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

“Sydney’s where?”-Irina

 

“Downtown.”-Vaughn

 

CHAPTER 15 - LOVE, HURT & HATE

 

“Oh.”-Irina

 

“Listen, after this, we are leaving the country, I’m getting so sick of this constant running from every corner on earth just to save one of us, mostly Sydney, but that’s not the point.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, after 2 weeks, they won’t be after her anymore, there won’t be a purpose for them to after her, right now, they’re just trying to eliminate her before she becomes immortal.”-Irina

 

“I know, but this is what’s best for Sydney, remember, she doesn’t want to live in fear anymore, and right now, I’d think it would be best if we leave LA, if we leave the country, at this point, Hawaii would even be fine. We’ll deal with this later, right now, I need to go bring her back here before they find her.”-Vaughn

 

“Fine.”-Irina

 

Vaughn walked out of the house, got in his car and drove as fast as his car could go, he wouldn’t let this happen again, not a third time, they would live in happiness forever, no matter what had to be done first.

 

He finally got to the warehouse, he searched for the construction site, but couldn’t find it. He looked around finally spotting it, he got out of his car and ran to find her, he wouldn’t loose her, he promised himself he wouldn’t, he promised he’d find her and bring her back, he promised he’s save her. But then, something occurred to him, she wouldn’t tell him the exact location, he saw a large tipped over chair, he lifted it up, no Sydney. He continued to look around until he became tired and hungry, he ran back to his car.

 

“Don’t go anywhere, don’t move, just stay where you are.”

 

“Sydney?” He looked around, he didn’t see anything. “Sydney, please answer me.”

“What?”

 

He looked around, but still didn’t see her. “Sydney, where are you?”

 

“Michael, be quiet, they know I’m out here, but they don’t know where I am.”

 

“Sydney, where are you?” He was freaking out, he couldn’t take it anymore.

 

Suddenly, he felt a hand touch his foot, he looked down, to see her head. “Sydney, what the hell are you trying to do to me?”

 

“Shut up, they’ll find us.” She got out from under the car.

 

“Just get in and tell me how the hell you pulled that off.”

 

They got in and drove away.

 

“I didn’t want them to find me, so I ran from the toilets on the other side of the construction site, but when I saw your car, I hid underneath it since I saw Anna looking for me.”-Syd

 

“Just don’t ever scare me like that again, you had me freaking out.”-Vaughn

 

“Fine, but if I have to, I will.”-Syd

 

“That’s fine, just tape on my foot sooner next time, so I’m not freaking out for 15 minutes.”-Vaughn

 

“Sure, whatever.”-Syd

 

“You ok?”-Vaughn

 

“Actually no, but whatever.”-Syd

 

“What’s wrong?”-Vaughn

 

“I could print off a list.”-Syd

 

Vaughn rolled his eyes. “I know the yesterday madness is definitely on there.”-Vaughn

 

“Wanna see a movie?”-Syd

 

He didn’t wanna make anything worse so he just kept quit and drove the rest of the way home without saying anything. Once they got to Vaughn’s apartment, they got out of the car and went inside saying nothing to each other.

 

Sydney sat down on the couch, Vaughn sat down on a chair facing in another direction. Irina noticed how odd everything was and finally said something. “What the hell is going on?”

 

They both just sat there quietly without saying a word.

 

“Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?”-Irina

 

Still no answer.

 

“Sydney.”

 

Nothing.

 

“Sydney Anne Derevko, answer me.”-Irina

 

Still nothing.

 

Irina walked into the living room. “Tell me what the hell is going on now.”

 

Still nothing.

 

“Enough silence both of you, answer me now, what the hell is going on here?”-Irina

 

“So I’m supposed to say something?”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah, what the hell is going on?”-Irina

 

“I don’t know.”-Vaughn

 

“Sydney Anne Derevko.”-Irina

 

Still nothing.

 

“SYDNEY.”-Vaughn

 

“What the fuck do you want me to say? Do you want me to tell you that my husband has problems controlling his anger and he hurts me and he acts like it’s no big deal? Is that what you wanted to hear?” She stormed off to her and Vaughn bedroom, shut the door and locked it.

 

“What did you do?”-Irina

 

“All I did was ask her what was wrong, she said ‘Would you like me to print off a list?’ and I said ‘I know the yesterday madness is definitely on there’ and then she changed the subject by asking me if I wanted to see a movie and we haven’t talked to each other since.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, if you were her, I’m sure you wouldn’t do a thing differently. Just leave her alone and stop bringing it up, don’t make her even more mad, that’s the last thing she needs.”-Irina

 

“I know, I already hate myself for it.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, I know how it feels, I’ve hurt people out of pure anger before too, but it is still your fault.”-Irina

 

“I know, Irina, I know.”-Vaughn

 

CHAPTER 16 - SYDNEY’S DEATH

 

Have you ever wondered what it felt like to die? Did you ever survive?

No, you died, but not really, you died, and became someone else, someone you didn’t even want to be. You were still the same person, you still had the same life, you still had the same name, but you died, and became someone else, someone you hate, someone who has so much despite for her life. You hate her, she hates you, but you’re still Sydney Vaughn, just a different Sydney Vaughn, the Sydney Vaughn that fears everyone and can’t be the person she once was, you can’t even be the Sydney that you were before you hated life, and tried to commit suicide. Because of this, everyone hates you, even your husband, he hurts you and fears you, he’s afraid for you. Your mother thinks you’re a bitch and your life is a complete disaster.

 

Sydney’s POV

 

I got out of the shower, nearly killing myself in the bathroom. God, Michael, why did you have to throw me into that god damn fucking table, my leg hurts like hell and I can barely walk without killing myself or someone else. I’d like to kill you with my bare hands for hurting me, your wife, although I still love you deep down inside.

 

If anyone asks for my address, I’ll tell them it’s in hell so they should go fuck themselves. Then I’ll tell them to screw over god and tell him that the shit you hear in church is all a lie. The world is a bad place, but I’d rather share my peace with the devil instead.

 

No POV

 

Sadly her peace was disturbed when Vaughn knocked on the door.

 

 

 

“What the hell do you what?”-Syd

 

“I just wanna talk to you.”-Vaughn

 

“Well go take a brake and sit ‘n’ spin while I’m busy.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, what the hell is wrong with you?”-Vaughn

 

“Go to hell and leave me alone.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, stop it, god damn it Sydney, could you just for once be the Sydney I fell in love with?”-Vaughn

 

“I can’t, the girl died, Michael, that girl died, she died when I jumped out that fucking window and you know it, accept it.”-Syd

 

“SYDNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He couldn’t take it anymore. “Sydney, please, no, I love you, don’t do this.”

 

“Michael, stop it, you know it, that girl isn’t me, she died, she died the day I jumped out that window, just please stop it.”-Syd

 

“SYDNEY!!!!!!!!!!!”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, go away and leave me the hell alone, I almost killed myself in here because of you, because you hurt me, now leave me the hell alone.”-Syd

 

“Alright, Sydney, I’ll leave, but I’m still staying in the house.”-Vaughn

 

Sydney didn’t answer, she just felt angry.

 

She walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom. She put on her black leather clothing and grabbed her two guns and cell phone and ran out of the house, but all of a sudden, Irina was right in front of her.

 

“What the hell do you want?”-Syd

 

“Sydney, Michael told me you were being a bitch to him, why? Sydney, what’s going on?”-Irina

 

“Go fuck yourself.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, stop it, just stop the crap, what the hell is going on with you?”-Irina

 

“I’m fine.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, you’re going to see Jack today, me and Michael have decided you need to go.”-Irina

 

“You and Michael decided what? Mom, you can’t control me, neither can Michael, how ‘bout you two go get back to reality and stop the crap.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, you’re obviously in no condition to go anywhere, stay here and please tell us what’s going on.”-Irina

 

Sydney took out her gun and shot Irina in the leg and then again in the shoulder.

 

“Sydney, shooting and killing people doesn’t solve your problems, it might bring peace, but it won’t fix anything.”-Irina

 

“We’ll see about that.”-Syd

 

She limped off, but tripped at the end of the block. “Shit.”

 

She got in a car and drove away, a woman came out of her house to see her car had been stolen and called the police, in a matter of seconds Sydney was being followed by 4 squad cars.

 

“Damn it.” She sped up to 190 MPH and lost them. “Yes!” But soon enough they were on her tail again. “Shit.”

 

All of a sudden she crashed into a tree and her world went black.

 

5 HOURS LATER

 

POLICE STATION

 

Sydney woke up handcuffed to a chair in a small room, she looked up to see three officers in front of her.

 

“What the hell do you want?”-Syd

 

“You were driving at 190 MPH, in this country, you can not go over 75 MPH.”

 

“So.”-Syd

 

“You’ve broken the law.”

 

“Alright.”-Syd

 

“You must pay a $700 fine, you may go, just sign this.” He handed her a piece of paper.

 

She signed it. A man took off the cuffs and she left, but when she remembered her guns were missing, she went back into the room.

 

“Give me my guns.”-Syd

 

He handed them to her. She ran out the door, got in the car and drove away.

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Vaughn was inside helping Irina.

 

“She’s a horrible person.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, she’s not the same Sydney as she once was, and she never will be that Sydney again, ever.”-Irina

 

CHAPTER 17 - IT’S ALL OVER

 

Vaughn was furious. “What the hell do you mean she’ll never be the same Sydney again? Tell me something I want to hear for just one fucking second, tell me that everything will be how it once was, tell me she’ll return to the Sydney I knew, tell me I can live in peace without an insane wife.”

 

Irina looked Vaughn straight in the eyes. “I don’t know if she’ll ever return to her old self, but there is always hope, Michael, just have faith in her that she can survive her own madness she put herself through.”

 

“So I’m just supposed to stand here and watch her destroy this? I’m supposed to watch her turn everything up-side-down? Irina, I can’t do that.”-Vaughn

 

“I’m not telling you to do anything, I’m just reminding you that you can’t make Sydney do anything or stop doing anything, you can’t fix this, only she can.”-Irina

 

“I can’t accept that.” He couldn’t take it anymore, he wouldn’t let this happen, he wouldn’t live like this, he had to fix everything, somehow.

 

“You’ll have to.”-Irina

 

“But I can’t, I love her too much to let her do this, destroy this, destroy everything, our lives.”

 

“I know, Michael, I know, but you have no choice, you can’t fix this, only she can, just accept it and trust she’ll return to being the Sydney she was before ‘the incident’.”-Irina

 

“I’ll try, but what if she can’t?”-Vaughn

 

“Don’t think that way Michael, always have faith in her.”-Irina

 

“I’m gonna go find her.” He walked out the door, got in his car and drove off.

 

THE PIER

 

What if you had a second chance, a second chance to fix everything you messed up? What if you could return to your former self and live life as that person you once were? What if you still had a chance? What if nothing was over, what if it was just the beginning, the beginning, not the end, the beginning of your true life, never the end, what if you had the chance to start over and begin again? What if everything could be the way you wished it was? What if you never became that horrible cold hearted evil sinner that you hate? What if your life wasn’t over? What if you could continue on and not remember the truth, the truth of what really happened? What if you could live free of your fears so you didn’t ever have to become that evil you hate? What if you never made that mistake, that mistake that ruined everything, that destroyed your life, your love, and everyone around you? What if everything was still ok? What if your destiny never died, and you were still alive, what if that girl that died, that girl that you once were could come back to live?

 

Sydney sat at the edge of the pier, her feet in the water, she didn’t know how to be who she once was, she didn’t know how to live the life she once lived, she didn’t know how to be that girl. Suddenly her peace was disturbed when she was pushed into the water.

 

“When in your fucking life would you have the nerve to do that to me, Sydney Vaughn?”

 

She looked up to see it was Vaughn. “What the hell do you want?”

 

“Sydney, please, I’m sorry.”-Vaughn

 

“No, Michael, you’re not.” She got out of the water.

 

“Yes, Sydney, I am.”-Vaughn

 

She took off her shoes and jacket, she set the two guns down. “I love you, but I’m sick of being treated like a baby. I want Irina out of the house and I want nothing to do with her anymore, I don’t want to see Jack, and I don’t wanna have to run away from you anymore.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, it’s ok, I understand, I promise you, one day everything will be perfect.”-Vaughn

 

“Tell that to your fucking wife.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, don’t do this.”-Vaughn

 

“Make me stop, Vaughn, make me.” She got up, picked up her guns and walked away.

“Sydney get your ass back here.”

 

There was no answer, she was gone, she had left, there was no chance for them to be together anymore, it was all over, Irina was right, no one, but Sydney could fix this.

 

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

“Irina, you must leave.”-Vaughn

 

“All right, I’ll leave.” She went to the door.

 

“Irina, I didn’t mean to make you angry.”-Vaughn

 

“You didn’t do a thing, I shouldn’t be here anyway.” She opened the door, walked out and left.

 

Sydney walked in the door, Vaughn ran over to her and hugged her. She pushed him away and into the wall. She slapped him and punched him extremely hard. She threw him over the counter.

 

“Sydney!”

 

“Shut up.” She hit him in the head with a gun.

 

He got up and threw her to the ground, causing her to drop her guns. “Stop it Sydney, just stop it, I hate you, Sydney, I hate you.”

 

She tried to get up, but he made her twist her ankle. “I hate you, Michael, I wish you were dead.”

 

He threw her through a window, she screamed. She climbed back into the apartment and threw him to the ground. He pushed her down, she got back up. He couldn’t stand what she was becoming, it made him want to kill her, to make her suffer.

He pushed her into the living room and threw her into the TV. She fell to the ground, she couldn’t take it anymore, she hated it when stuff like this happened, but this time, it was all her fault.

 

“Can we just stop this, can we just be in love? Can I just live in happiness, instead of hell? Can’t this just be over?”

 

He could see how bad she felt, he ran over to her, hugged her, but she pulled away, she wouldn’t let him love her, she wouldn’t let him care, she didn’t love anyone who hurt her, she couldn’t, she wouldn’t, she let her fear and anger overtake her. She limped over to the fridge for ice, but her was right there behind her, he wouldn’t leave her, he wouldn’t let her hate him, he just loved her too much. For Vaughn even saying he hated her hurt him, he couldn’t ever say he hated Sydney, it tore him apart, it killed him, right now she was killing him, her hate for life was killing him.

 

She grabbed her ice and limped into his bedroom and locked the door, she hated this, she hated what she was doing, but she had no control, she couldn’t do anything to fix it, to fix the mess she had made.

 

CHAPTER 18 - THE SADNESS IN THIS LIFE

 

I ruined this, I destroyed this life, I threw it all away and ran far to hell to say hello to the devil and curse all my enemies. I ruined it all, my future is gone, my world is gone, my hope has disappeared, my faith had been lost, my soul has been captured…and lost. I’ve been broken, all hope has been lost. My fears are taking over, I’m trapped in a box. This is a disaster, it’s much worse than it seems, all who love me, have waked away. And it’s all because I’ve turned into this person, this girl even I hate, she’s worse than Satan. Her name is Sydney Vaughn, but not Sydney Bristow, Sydney Vaughn, the heartless bitch who destroyed the heart of the world. She ran away from those who cared, she made them hate her, she made them fear her, she made them run away from her. I am that girl, I am Sydney Vaughn, the girl who destroyed this, the girl who is almost gone. The true Sydney died, and the new Sydney came, the Sydney who ruined life for everyone and everything.

I look at myself in hate, I know what I did, I’m scared to think. Everyone is scared, running for their lives, they hate me, I hate them, but in truth, I love them. I pray for everyone to forgive me, I pray for them to love me, I pray for them to care, I wish they would treat me like the Sydney I once was, but they don’t, they treat me like the girl that became me over time, that girl is worse that Irina Derevko, she’s worse than the Devil, she’s pure evil.

 

Sydney’s POV

 

I walked out into the hall, tripped and fell flat on my face. “Damn it Vaughn, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be nearly killing myself.”

“Sydney, you ok, wanna talk?” Vaughn walked into the hall and helped her walk to the couch.

 

“What do you wanna say Michael? That you’re sorry? Well, sorry aint gonna cut it anymore.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, more than that, I’m sorry, but you’ve gotta remember, you started the fight, not me, and plus, I kicked Irina out for your sake.”-Vaughn

 

“You did? Thanks. Yeah, I know, I’m sorry, I’m just not myself lately, I can’t help it.”-Syd

 

“It’s ok, it really is, but please, don’t start anymore of these fights, I don’t like fighting you, my wife, I can’t handle it.”-Vaughn

 

“It’s ok.” She looked down waiting for that moment to be over.

 

“Sydney---”

 

She cut him off. “Michael, I can’t be that girl, that girl died, she died when I jumped out that fucking window a year ago.”

 

“Yeah, but---”

 

She cut him off again. “No, Michael, I can’t, I can’t be the girl I was.”

 

“Sydney, please---”

 

She cut him off a third time. “Good bye, Michael, this is over.” She grabbed her things and went to the door.

 

“Sydney, wait.”-Vaughn

 

She turned around. “Why, Michael, why?”

 

“We’ll find a way.”-Vaughn

 

“Michael, I can’t be that girl.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, don’t do this.”-Vaughn

 

“Do what, Michael, do what?” She walked out of the house, got in her car and drove away.

 

 

 

WEISS’ APARTMENT

 

“She just left, she said that she couldn’t be that girl she was before she jumped out that window and she left.”-Vaughn

 

“What?”-Weiss

 

Ignoring Weiss’ comment, he continued. “And I don’t think she’s coming back this time.”

 

“Michael, you can’t let her do this, go after her, drag her back into your apartment if you have to; whatever it takes, it just has to be done.”-Weiss

 

“You’re right, I must find her and make her fix this for both of us.”-Vaughn

 

SOMEWHERE

 

Sydney arrived at Vaughn’s mother’s house, she didn’t know why she decided to go there in the first place, but she was there, that was all that mattered.

 

She got out of her car, walked up to the door, and knocked. She felt weird being the daughter of her husband’s killer and all, but Amy Vaughn would have to deal, her and Vaughn’s future together was at stake.

 

Amy got the door, She looked at Sydney, she remembered the day she met her as a little girl.

 

“Hi, I haven’t seen you in a while.”

 

Sydney walked in. “I need some help.”

 

She shut the door, they walked into the living room and sat down.

 

“So what is it?”

 

“Michael won’t accept me for who I am and I would like it if you’d talk to him for me.”-Syd

 

“What?”

 

Sydney just sat there.

 

“I’ll take care of this for you, but I’ll warn you, he may be mad about you coming to me about this later.”

 

Sydney just nodded. Amy went to go call Vaughn.

ALICE’S HIDEOUT

 

Alice walked around her room, wondering how she could kill Sydney, before it was too late.

 

AMY VAUGHN’S HOUSE

 

Sydney walked up to Amy. “What did he say?”

 

“He said he’d talk to you when he gets back.”

 

“Oh, alright.”

 

She walked out whispering to herself. “Bring on the torture.”

 

She got in her car and drove away, back to Vaughn’s apartment. Once she got there, she prepared herself for non-stop torture from Vaughn, he husband. She walked in.

 

“What’d you do that?”-Vaughn

 

“Do what?”-Syd

 

“Go to my mom?”-Vaughn

 

“You wouldn’t listen to me, somebody had to talk some sense into you.”-Syd

 

“Sorry, but, Sydney, I just wish there would be a chance---”

 

She cut him off. “A chance for what Michael, a chance for what? For me to be some kind, nice selfless girl that you loved and cared about, no, Michael, I’ll never be that girl…and you know that…just love me for who I am, who I’ve always wanted to be, me.”

 

She walked to the door.

 

“Sydney, don’t leave, please, please don’t go.”

 

“Michael, make me stay, make me stay with you, make me live like this.”-Syd

 

“Sydney, I love you, I always will, that girl didn’t die, Sydney, you’re still that girl, just I little different, Sydney, that girl’s still inside of you, you just have to get her back.”-Vaughn

 

“I don’t want to be that girl, Michael, and I won’t be.” She opened the door.

CHAPTER 19 - THE RESULTS…

 

“Sydney, stay, I promise, I won’t try to change you, I’ll just love you for who you are, I’ll just be there, there for you.”-Vaughn

 

“No, Michael, you’ve already had enough chances, it’s over, it’s all over, good bye, Michael, good bye.”

 

She ran out of the house, tripping and nearly killing herself, but she got up and got to her car, leaving Vaughn confused, confused as hell.

 

SWITZERLAND

 

Sloane was on the phone talking to Sark.

 

“She got away? What? How the hell did that happen? Sark, you’re a dead man, you know that right?”

 

“I’m sorry sir, I’ll capture her and kill her before the next two weeks have pasted.”-Sark

 

“And if you don’t, I’ll kill you instead, Sydney was a good girl, she always has been, but she deserves to die, die and never get her immortality.”-Sloane

 

“Arvin, Anna was right, you’re a horrible person, you’d kill your own daughter, the daughter you created, just for inner peace.” He hung up.

 

“Sark, how dare you hang up on me.”-Sloane

 

ALICE’S HIDEOUT

 

“Sloane, what the hell do you want?”-Alice

 

“You must come back to Switzerland, now.”-Sloane

 

“Why?”-Alice

 

“Because you’re dead, dead, dead, that’s why.”-Sloane

 

“You’re gonna send me back to my grave? Why? You know Rambaldi will kill you if he knows you only revived me for personal gain. He’ll kill you for tricking him into reviving me all for nothing. He’ll kill you for telling him if he revived me, you’d find a way to revive him, when you really don’t want him alive, and you’d never revive him.”-Alice

 

“Where did you hear that shit?”-Sloane

 

“Your journal.”-Alice

 

“What? How did you even know I had one or where I hid it?”-Sloane

 

“I’m dead, I have my ways.”-Alice

 

4 HOURS LATER

 

HAWAII - SYDNEY’S HOTEL ROOM

 

Sydney sat on her bed, she was glad to be in Hawaii, far away from Vaughn, the thing was, he had no idea where she was, or so she thought, she was glad to finally be some place where she could be in place. She could go to the beach, she could stay far away from Vaughn forever, or maybe not, but all she knew was she couldn’t live with him treating her like she had mental problems or she had some special condition he needed to tend to. She wasn’t anything like that, but sometimes, he treated her that way. She just wanted to treat her the way her did before she jumped out that fucking window, but she knew he wouldn’t, she knew he would never treat her the same, ever again, it was all over, their love was gone, it had vanished over time and there was nothing either of them could do about it since Vaughn wouldn’t treat her the same as he once did. She needed to be who she is, who she always was, the girl she is now, not that girl she was before she jumped out that freaking window, the girl she always wanted to be, but she really was that girl, she just didn’t let that part of her control her until now.

 

“Michael, say good bye.”

 

If you only wished to cry, cry until all the tears were out, till you couldn’t cry anymore, you could maybe say your wish, your wish to never run away, fight until you win, but what if it didn’t work, what if you were stuck with a husband who couldn’t accept you as ‘you’? What if all hope wasn’t lost? What if you could have survived? What if you could just cry? Let all the tears out, until you can’t stop? Just live in peace, happiness, move on and be yourself without all the worries, the fear of falling apart again, but what if you were about to fall apart, have it all happen again? It would all be over, it wouldn’t be a game, it would just be over, because then you’d really die, but what if that was your destiny, death was your destiny, and you couldn’t stop death because as you know, you can’t stop death from happening.

 

She ran into the bathroom, put on her bikini and limped out of her room, and down the road, onto the beach, and into the water. She just sat in that water, that salty, Ocean water. She had never been happier without Michael in her life. Could this be the start of a new chapter in her life? Could she actually be moving on? Maybe things we just different now - hopefully things would stay that way, peaceful and calm, away from Vaughn.

VAUGHN’S APARTMENT

 

Vaughn’s POV

 

What did I do?

What did I say?

Was I that bad?

Like you say

What did I do?

 

I’m so stupid, I made her leave

I pushed her too far

I made her hate me

I destroyed this, she didn’t, I did

Irina says only Sydney can fix this

 She was WRONG

Only I can fix this mess

 It’s all MY fault

NOT Sydney’s

 

She WASN’T over

There was STILL a chance

For ME to fix this all

For us to be TOGETHER forever

For eternity

Just me and her

No one else to get in the way

Just me and her

 

Maybe everything was still alright

Eric was RIGHT, I CAN’T let her run away from me,

I have to go bring her back to ME

 

Here is this life, destiny calls you to come back to me, Sydney, please still love me, have faith in me, please, Sydney.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 20 - THE END…

 

HAWAII

 

Sydney came into her hotel room at 3am. There was a message on her cell phone, it was from Vaughn, she dialed her number, hearing the message that ruined her happiness.

 

Sydney’s POV

 

He said he loved me, now I was crying, he loved me. More tears came she didn’t know what to say, she was so mad…at herself, she couldn’t believe what she had done…leaving and all. But then my phone rung, at 3 am! It was so weird, it was him, Vaughn. I got the phone just in time, but all he said was,

 

“Sydney, Irina…Irina’s dead.”

 

Those were the words that changed her life, forever.

 

“What the fuck do you mean she’s dead? Tell me this is some sort of sick joke, tell me this is just a fuckin’ dream, tell this isn’t fucking real. Please tell me this isn’t true. God damn it don’t do this, not now, not ever.”

 

I couldn’t take it anymore, this was just too horrible for me to even think about.

 

“Sydney, I’m sorry, she’s, she’s dead, ok, she’s dead.” He was n complete sadness, even for a woman that killed his father.

 

“Michael, stop it, just stop it. How can you even tell me this? Tell me this shit you’re telling me right now isn’t real, tell me it’s just a god damn freaking dream, Michael, please.”

 

“Sydney, this is real, this is really happening, just try to deal, where are you, let me come get you.”

 

“Michael, you can’t, I’m in Maui, Hawaii.”

 

“What the hell are you doing in Maui?”

 

“I took a flight here, to Maui because I needed to get away, from you.”

 

“Sydney!”

 

I couldn’t take it anymore, this was a complete nightmare. I felt like I was going to die.

 

“How did she die?”

 

“She had a heart attack.”

 

She threw her phone out of the window, which happened to be on the edge of a cliff 100 feet up.

 

She had enough, she was about to do something she’d thought she’d never do ever again.

 

WEISS’ APARTMENT

 

Vaughn banged franticly on Weiss’ front door, he was worried about Sydney, he kept thinking she’d do something stupid, but he didn’t even want to go there.

 

Weiss answered the door. “What?”

 

“Get your ass out here, I think Sydney might do something to ‘die’. Irina died, she hung up on me, she’s in Hawaii.”-Vaughn

 

“What the---, shit.”-Weiss

 

“Could you tell me if you know where I could get a plane that could get us there sooner than 4 hours?”-Vaughn

 

“Yeah, I do, but it could be too late by then.”-Weiss

 

“I don’t care, it’s better late than never.”-Vaughn

 

“True.”-Weiss

 

HAWAII - SARK’S SECRET HIDEOUT

 

Sark sat on his chair in his office. He was putting together a machine gun, but a phone call disturbed him.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Don’t even attempt the murder, she’ll take care of it for us.”-Sloane

 

“Who? What? When? Why?”-Sark

 

“Sydney’s doing a fine job killing herself, don’t bother trying to kill her yourself, she’ll be dead before you can even get there.”

With that the line went dead.

 

Sark put his phone down in complete shock.

 

“This is interesting, there should be a Sydney Suicide Organization I should be able to join.”

 

2 HOURS LATER

 

A FIELD IN HAWAII

 

Vaughn and Weiss landed the plane, got out and walked over to the hotel where they assumed Sydney was staying and went inside and after looking threw all the rooms, they got to Sydney’s room, but when they did, it was too late, it was already over, Sydney was gone. Vaughn saw a note on the table, it was from her, it said:

 

I’m sorry for leaving you, hopefully, I’ll come back, I jumped and died, happy now?

How are you gonna clean up after yourself this time, Hun, Michael? How?

Cause I don’t honestly see how you can now since I’m dead, dead in the pacific ocean, good bye, Michael, good bye.

 

“Mike, are you ok?”-Weiss

 

“She’s dead, she committed suicide, this time, she really died, she didn’t survive.”
