Family Betrayal

[Amelia]

"This is a story about the betrayal of family members, who all have their own intention to catch Evie Berry. This scene is taking place on Trafalgar in Evie Berry's room. Involved people are Austin Goodman, James Arland, Evie, Jennifer, Amelia and Lily Berry."

Evie lets out a deep breath and stares at the only entrance inside the room. A simple, light wood door that could be easily opened with force. She looks at the pistol in her hand and sighed as she noticed that her hands were shaking. She closed her eyes and tried to distract herself with thoughts, but it didn't work. The room was rather small with a second door to the bathroom. It was a typical place to hide for pirates, but she surely wasn't one. She took the room merely not to be suspicious.

"I can't take this anymore. Waiting for my death is more terrible than the death itself." She said as she stands up to walk towards the bathroom. The door made a loud noise as she opened it and made a even louder noise when it was closed.

"Wonder if I should end it here and now. It would at least spare me the time I have to wait." She said to herself as she looked at her in the mirror. She shook her head and replied to herself. "That would be weak. You didn't get that far for nothing. Consider this your last fight. It doesn't matter if you die here or later."

Her hands finally stopped shaking and her face expression was filled with anger and courage. She was prepared for the end. For some reasons she managed to get rid of the fear and she was glad about that. It was making her crazy. With herself ready for the last fight, she opened the noisy door and sat back on the bed with her pistol pointing towards the door.

"Come now and this will be a hell of a fight." She said with her finger on the trigger.

Lily and Amelia met at the landing pad on Trafalgar and hugged each other as they reached at the meeting place. They were both nervous themselves and both knew that this could be their end, too.

"Are you sure your contact was trustworthy? What if he has set up a trap for us here?" Lily asked her with a raised finger, the other hand resting on the holster of her pistol.

Amelia looked at her and nodded lightly. "He is trustworthy. Don't worry about that. All we have to do now is to find her." She stopped for a moment and pointed towards the bar. "Go to the bartender and ask if she has seen Evie."

She looked around as Lily walked towards the bar and she noticed two ships that looked like ships from the Armed Forces. After seeing these ships she knew Evie wasn't alone. She rubbed her head and followed Lily towards the bar.

Just as Amelia arrived at the bar, Lily already turned around and faced her. "Well, that was easy. Room 101. It's right over there. Let's finish this as fast as possible."

Amelia raised a finger and shook her head. "She has company. Possibly two Armed Forces pilots. I can bet one of them is Goodman."

"And what now?" Lily replied as she looked over to the landing pad. "Why don't we set those ships on fire?"

"Distraction, huh? I don't think that would work. There are too many people there." Amelia replied, reaching out her hand to pick up a bottle and looked at her. "We will wait for now and see how this turns out. We will see when they leave Trafalgar and when that happens, then we can still strike them in space."

"I hope you are right. We are so close..." She sighed as she answered and walked towards the table to sit down. Amelia followed her with the bottle and sat down beside her. "Patience, Lily."
