"Just a second." Steve said as he shot the phone out of her hands. The phone call ended. Steve knew who the mystery person was.

"Who keeps shooting at us?" Samantha was a tad scared. "Not sure, but if they succeed in killing one or both of us, I always thought you would suicide." Sydney smiled and got out.
|

December 12, 2011, 06:45:18 PM

"We should get going now." Steve said as he tugged on his collar. They drove off to the base.
|

"Grab the memory card." Sydney called to Samantha. Samantha grabed the memory card and got out.
|

Steve arrived at base. He received a less battered up suit for his efforts. "Thanks guys!"
|
|
#3506
December 13, 2011, 03:50:15 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney and Samantha walked about a quarter of a mile until Sydney stopped and brushed some sand off a trap door.
|
|
#3507
December 13, 2011, 04:03:41 PM
|

|

Steve went to sleep in his private quarters. He didn't wake up for a long time.
|
|
#3508
December 13, 2011, 04:08:09 PM
|
||||
|

|
The door led to the base. "Remember the tunnel system built at the beginning of all this"
|
|
#3509
December 13, 2011, 04:10:47 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve suddenly woke up as if he sensed something. He got in a car and drove off.
|
|
#3510
December 13, 2011, 04:15:50 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney and Samantha crawled roughly half a mile before reaching the base. Sydney climbed up first to reveal they were in an empty room.
|
|
#3511
December 13, 2011, 04:23:11 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve sensed a presence. "Maybe around here!" Steve said as he found a trapdoor.
|
|
#3512
December 13, 2011, 04:27:05 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Samantha then climbed up. Both she and Sydney walked out of the room.
|
|
#3513
December 13, 2011, 04:27:56 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve fell into the tunnel. "What is this place?" Steve said as he walked along the dark hallway.
|
|
#3514
December 13, 2011, 04:32:06 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney quickly went back in the room and shut the trap door.
|
|
#3515
December 13, 2011, 04:39:11 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"Huh? What was that?" Steve said as he ran down the dark hallway towards another door.
|
|
#3516
December 13, 2011, 04:45:31 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney then asked someone, "Have you seen Steve?"
|
|
#3517
December 13, 2011, 07:06:01 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve busted right through the door. "Problem?" Steve said heroically.
|
|
#3518
December 14, 2011, 05:10:43 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney heard something and went back into the room. As soon as she saw it was Steve, she said, "Come here."
|
|
#3519
December 14, 2011, 05:21:08 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"So much for saving you guys." Steve sighed as he followed her into the room.
|
|
#3520
December 14, 2011, 05:24:28 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"No one can know about those tunnels. They were a project that went wrong." Sydney kept voice low as she shut the door. She had built those tunnels, but unfortunately she lost a lot of memory from it.
|
|
#3521
December 14, 2011, 05:25:11 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"Well I certainly know it wasn't me. Or the rebels." Steve said loudly as he chuckled.
|
|
#3522
December 14, 2011, 05:34:30 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"Those tunnels were built to house escaped prisioners of war and lead them safely to bases. However, soldiers used them to sneek up on rebels or plant bombs underneath suspected targets. I dread ever building them." Sydney shook her head to clear her thoughts.
|
|
#3523
December 14, 2011, 07:16:34 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"You? You were the one that built these for the 'suspicious' Waterfront Base Blowup?" Steve shouted with anger. "How could you? Many of my friends were in there when it exploded."
|
|
#3524
December 15, 2011, 03:31:21 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney put her finger over his mouth to hush him up. "Keep in mind, I didn't start on your side. And as an added bonus I know where tunnel leads."
|
|
#3525
December 15, 2011, 03:43:26 PM
|
||||
|

|
"Well then lets get moving already." Steve said enthusiastically.
|
|
#3526
December 15, 2011, 03:51:24 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"Fine." Sydney opened the trapped door when she pulled a gun on Steve.
|
|
#3527
December 15, 2011, 04:00:22 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"What are you doing?" Steve asked as he fumbled for his gun.
|
|
#3528
December 15, 2011, 04:16:07 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"You can't tell anyone about this. By the way..." Sydney fired the gun but nothing came out. "The guns not loaded."
|
|
#3529
December 15, 2011, 04:29:23 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"It still gives you no reason to pull a gun at me." Steve said with anger. He left without them.
|
|
#3530
December 15, 2011, 04:32:46 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"It was to make sure you wouldn't tell." Sydney jumped down in the trap door.
|
|
#3531
December 15, 2011, 04:40:33 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve ran on ahead. He exited the corridor.
|
|
#3532
December 15, 2011, 05:00:29 PM
|

Sydney muttered, "He'll get killed." Sydney reloaded her gun put it back in the holster.
|
|
#3533
December 15, 2011, 07:24:41 PM
|

|

|
"I can't believe she killed Roy. My best friend since 3rd grade. Roy..." Steve stopped. "She must be brought to justice." Steve said as he climbed up a ladder and pushed up the hatch.
|

Sydney was a little ways behind. She figured she had to look out for Steve now. It was a pain. Samantha was following them to execute Sydney for treason. Her gun was pulled and she was set on killing her own sister. Sydney practically raised Samantha and Zach. Samantha pulled the gun to Sydney's head, and Sydney got down and quickly pulled her gun on Samantha. "Family fate I guess." "I'll kill you like you killed all of them." Samantha knew Sydney had killed the rest of their family.
|
|
#3535
December 16, 2011, 03:51:33 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve peeked down into the hatch. He saw them pointing guns at each other. "Well I guess that's family." Steve finished as he walked away to the jeep.
|

Samantha shot. Sydney's stomach was covered in blood. the bullet had barely grazed her side, but she felt over slumped in pain. Samantha, panicky, ran out of the hatch and back toward the base she stayed at. Sydney, choking on her own blood, lied face-down coughing a prayer to a God who never loved her. She prayed she could see Steve again and apologize for hurting him, and to tell him she loved him. Sydney however wasn't even strong enough to stand.

Steve heard a gunshot and ran back to see what happened. He instantly fell down through the trapdoor as he saw Sydney. "S-Sydney?" Steve said as he leaned over her.

"St-steve..." Blood dribbled from Sydney's mouth. "I..I'm so.." She past out from the pain and blood loss.

"No. No." Steve stood up. His tears hit her body. "No time for crying. I must save her." Steve said as he picked her up and got her up. Steve climbed up too. He dragged her body to the jeep and found the keys in her pocket. They drove off, leaving Samantha behind.

Sydney regained some consciousness, but not enough to communicate. She could barely hear her own shallow heartbeat.
|

Steve drove her to the base. He had top surgeons working on her. "Save her. Please."

Sydney's breaths grew shallower and shallower by the second. Her body was too weak to even have a rising and falling motion as she breathed.
|

"We'll do the very best we can Steve. I can't promise you though." "Hurry." Steve said as they wheeled her to the operating room. "Now I need to find Samantha."

Sydney's body broke into a state of shock. she stopped breathing altogether and her was working twice as hard.

They hooked her up to an artificial breathing machine. Steve set out to find Samantha.

Steve found the hatch. He quickly jumped in. "Come out!" Steve said as he walked around with his knife in hand.

Samantha used her strength and flexability to climb up againt the ceilng. She was mouthing "Please don't find me."
|
|
#3549
December 17, 2011, 11:24:12 AM
|

Steve looked around. He had found nothing. He sat down. "I know your in here. I won't leave until you come out. I'm doing this for Sydney."
|
|
#3550
December 17, 2011, 11:49:49 AM

Samantha was tempted to yell at him but breathed a little. She was scared.
|

#3551
December 17, 2011, 12:09:05 PM

"Hm? I think I hear something." Steve said as he kept his knife up.
|

#3552
December 17, 2011, 05:42:23 PM

Samantha jumped down and pulled her gun on Steve. "You're really in love with that murderer?"
|
|
#3553
December 18, 2011, 10:58:08 AM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve turned around and knocked the gun out of her hand. "And what do you call yourself then? You nearly killed your sister!" Steve pushed her to the ground and retrieved the gun. "Now get ready to call me a murderer!" Steve said as he loaded the gun and aimed it at her.
|
|
#3554
December 18, 2011, 11:45:46 AM

"I call myself a vigilante." Samantha grabbed Steve's arm, pulling him down with her. She tried to pry the gun out of his hand.
|
|
#3555
December 18, 2011, 04:44:51 PM
|

Steve quickly grabbed her arms and tied them up. "Your coming with me." Steve said as he pulled her up and out of the trapdoor.
|
|
#3556
December 18, 2011, 04:56:57 PM
|

|

|
"Where we going?" Samantha, despite the fact she was sure Steve was going to murder her, tried to be really flirty while they walked.
|
|
#3557
December 18, 2011, 05:23:08 PM
|

|

|
"Back to base." Steve threw her in the back seat. "I got a surprise for you."
|
|
#3558
December 18, 2011, 05:29:43 PM
|
||||
|

Samantha shrugged and waited to get to the base. Meanwhile Sydney was sitting up in her still not having the ability to walk.
|
|

Steve dragged her and tied her to a pole and ordered the firing squad to take their position.

December 18, 2011, 05:47:39 PM
|

|
"I knew it. Didn't she killed your family? She killed mine."Samantha yelled loud at Steve. She planned on stirring emotion. "Are you a coward?"
|
|
#3561
December 18, 2011, 05:51:42 PM
|

|

"No. Just a wise man!" Steve yelled as he ordered his men to load.
|
|
#3562
December 18, 2011, 05:54:37 PM
|
||||
|

|
Samantha didn't shed a single ounce of remorse. "Shoot me. I hope you and Sydney get shot."
|
|
#3563
December 18, 2011, 06:13:22 PM
|

"Hmm... very well." Steve told his men to aim.

#3564
December 18, 2011, 06:25:03 PM

Samantha closed her eyes and waited for her to get killed. "I hate her."
|
|
#3565
December 18, 2011, 07:25:55 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"Does it give you a reason to almost kill her? No it does not." Steve said as he readied his men. "Any last words?"
|
|
#3566
December 19, 2011, 02:58:42 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
"NO! KILL ME!!" Samantha closed her eyes and waited once more to be killed.
|
|
#3567
December 19, 2011, 03:21:58 PM

"FIRE!" Steve ordered as he men completely destroyed her in bullets. (Congratz and 2000 posts.)

Samantha was killed. Sydney heard the shots from the medical ward. "Samantha, shouldn't have messed with Steve." Sydney crossed herself and kissed her hands.
|
|
#3569
December 19, 2011, 05:40:53 PM
|
||||
|

Steve walked up to Samantha's dead body. "Shouldn't have messed with one of the most powerful men in the world." Steve said as he walked away from her body. "Clean up the mess boys."
|

December 19, 2011, 06:00:42 PM

Sydney assumed Steve was coming back to her room. She waited patiently ready to apologize.

#3571
December 19, 2011, 06:14:20 PM

Steve walked into Sydney's room. "I'm sorry." Steve said as he fell to his knees and cried.
|
|
#3572
December 19, 2011, 06:16:33 PM

Sydney got out of bed and fell to the floor. She hugged Steve and said, "You did what you thought was necessary."
|
|
#3573
December 19, 2011, 06:17:43 PM
|

|

"I did it for you. I care. I care for you." Steve cried. "I wasn't strong enough. You got hurt. I'm sorry."
|
|

December 19, 2011, 06:24:24 PM
|
||||
|

|
"Steve, I wasn't killed. I wasn't emotionally scarred. I'm still the same person I was two days ago. I'm fine." Sydney lifted her shirt and looked at the gash. It may have hurt like hell, but she didn't mind. It was good to know she wasn't dead in the tunnel.
|
|
#3575
December 19, 2011, 06:27:07 PM
|
||||
|

|
"I know. But you got hurt from my wrong judgement. That got you hurt. I will not let that happen again Sydney. I promise." Steve said as he stood up.
|
|
#3576
December 19, 2011, 06:29:23 PM
|

|

|
Sydney stood up as well. She slightly grimaced at the pain but managed to pull a smile.
|
|
#3577
December 19, 2011, 07:17:31 PM
|

"You need your rest." Steve said as he gently picked her up and put her on her bed.
|
|
#3578
December 20, 2011, 12:39:15 PM
|

"I'm fine, honest." Sydney smiled in an attempted to comfort him.
|

#3579
December 20, 2011, 12:40:07 PM
|

"No. I must become better." Steve said as he left the room. He sniffed. "For you."
|
|
#3580
December 20, 2011, 12:47:18 PM
|

Sydney got up in pain. "Steve, wait." Sydney limped toward him.

Steve walked down to the end of the corridor. He heard a faint sound.
|
|
#3582
December 20, 2011, 12:58:41 PM
|
||||
|

|
"Ow.." Sydney gave up and sat outside her room. She massaged her cut.
|
|
#3583
December 20, 2011, 01:49:46 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Steve left the base and traveled deep into the mountains. "I must... be better."
|
|
#3584
December 20, 2011, 01:59:28 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney stood back up. She stopped a guard. "Where's Steve?" "Left the base, ma'am."
|
|
#3585
December 20, 2011, 05:16:47 PM
|
||||
|

|
"Must become stronger." Steve said as he walked to the top of a mountain.
|
|
#3586
December 20, 2011, 06:04:57 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney limped back to her room and sat on the bed. She hit the bed and immediately went to sleep. Her mind drifted from Samantha to Steve as she slept.
|
|
#3587
December 20, 2011, 08:10:28 PM
|
||||
|

|
Steve sat on-top of the mountain looking down on the desert floor. He sighed as he took in the beauty of the view.
|
|
#3588
December 21, 2011, 05:10:58 AM
|
||||
|

|
Sydney woke up and climbed out of bed. She was worried about Steve and hungry. She limped to the mess hall.
|
|
#3589
December 21, 2011, 03:03:20 PM
|

Steve looked far near the horizon and saw the sunrise. He began to cry at the sight of it.
|
|
#3590
December 21, 2011, 03:06:52 PM
|

Sydney fixed herself some breakfast for the first time without anyone else. She instinctively made two extra plates of french toast.
|
|
#3591
December 21, 2011, 06:25:58 PM
|
||||
|

|
"S...Sydney..." Steve began crying on top of the mountain.
|
|
#3592
December 21, 2011, 06:47:22 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney ate one of the plates and went to clean her plate. As she washed the plate, she put her hair up just like at home. She had a mental relaspe of her abusive father. How when she wasn't doing the dishes right he'd smack her across the face. Then almost instinctively she poured a shot of bourbon and set aside some heartburn pills out of her pocket. She normally didn't do a total mental relapse like that, but today was different.
|
|
#3593
December 21, 2011, 07:07:25 PM
|

|

|
Steve pushed some rocks down the mountain. He laid down on one he couldn't move. "I'll move you eventually. I know I will."
|
|
#3594
December 21, 2011, 07:26:25 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney went to the bathroom and poured some water over the wound. the water took out some of the stinging. She went to her room and read some medical journals. She almost could her dad say, "You not smart enough to be a doctor." A tear fell on the journal.
|
|
#3595
December 21, 2011, 07:58:35 PM
|
||||
|

|
Steve began tossing bigger and bigger rocks down the mountain. He then looked at the huge rock and said "I'm ready, you will be defeated."
|
|
#3596
December 21, 2011, 08:05:43 PM
|
||||
|
||||
|
Sydney knocked over the side table in frustration. Why was she relasping? Her mind was recapturing the memories of her father.
|
|
#3597
December 22, 2011, 05:16:38 PM
|

Steve began pushing the rock with all his force and it started to budge.
