Family Betrayal

[Amelia]

Evie sighed and stood up as she suddenly heard screams and someone yelling Lily Berry. Upon hearing the name of her sister, she began again to shake. It was obvious that she was filled with fear and she could barely hold the pistol anymore. She slowly walked towards the door, pushed herself against it, her head placed so that she could listen with her left ear, but making it impossible to see the air duct. "I want to get out of here..." She said as the chaos broke out. She laid the pistol on a table that was right beside the door and reached for her pocket to take out the key. The noises began to get louder and louder. She sighed heavily and unlocked the door with the key.

Amelia finally reached the central ventilator chamber and stopped there for a moment and looked around to make sure where to go next. She took out her device and looked at it. "Let's hope this plan of the air duct I took moments before I entered it are still up to date." She said quietly and nodded as she found out where to go next. Before she continued the way she looked around again and just before she wanted to continue she has seen a dark figure in one of the air duct systems. The figure was still far away and it took her some time to realize that it was a person. "Damn..." She whispered quietly to herself and entered the air duct that led to room 101. She knew that someone was after her and so she crawled as fast as she could through the air duct without looking back.

As soon as she reached the end of the air duct, she looked behind her and saw the figure far behind her, still following. Sneaking in was out of question with someone getting closer each second, so she kicked against the air vent cover to remove it. Surprisingly enough it wasn't louder than the noise of the people that panic in the hangar. She entered the room and saw Evie near the door, unarmed.

Amelia slowly approached Evie with the pistol aimed at her as Evie opened the door. "Evie." She said with a blank expression on her face. Evie, totally surprised, jumped lightly and turned around, her hands shaking. "Amelia... w-why?" She said frightened while her eyes were focused on the pistol on the table.

"Don't even think of it." She said as she noticed her eyes looking at the pistol on the table. "You better do what I say. Now, go out of the room. One wrong move and I will shoot. Got it?" She said with a serious expression as she moved closer.

She nodded unwillingly. "But why would you shoot your own sister? What did I do wrong?"

Amelia noticed her hand slowly reaching for the pistol and shook her head. "Don't," She said and shot at the table, "Move already!"

Evie looked at her quite surprised, anxious and started to walk out of the room. Amelia followed her and picked up the pistol on the table before she left the room. "Lock the room." Amelia said when they left the room.

Hesitantly Evie nodded and locked the door as she suddenly felt the pistol being pressed against her back. Evie turned her head around and as Amelia pointed towards the hangar, both walked towards it. Once there, both have seen Austin and Lily, whereas Austin had a pistol aimed at her. "Lily..." Evie said with a sigh.

Lily was caught by surprise as suddenly a man came out of the covers. "You must be Austin Goodman," She said with a smirk, "Do you even have any idea what's really going on here? Did Evie tell you everything? I doubt it." She looked at the people who panic and giggles. "Look what you have done. You have made a mess. For what? For me? I am not the one who is going to pull the trigger, dear." She said when suddenly a shot was heard in another room. She looked at him and smirked. "You are too late. She is dead."

The very moment she said that, Amelia and Evie appeared. She looked at both of them. "What... Amelia, kill her! Now!" She shouted.

Amelia raised an eyebrow. "What? Why would I kill her? That was never our plan... my plan." She said with one pistol still at Evie's back and with the other aimed towards the door of room 101, as she knew that the other officer would arrive, which was just a matter of seconds.

"You bloody... You have to do everything on your own! You can't even rely on your own sister!" She shouted as she reached slowly for her pistol.

The same moment, Amelia whispered into Evie's ear. "Move to my ship, if you don't want this to end as a bloodshed."

Evie sighed and moved towards Amelia's ship, shortly followed by Amelia.

"Amelia, stay where you are!" Lily shouted and took out her pistol. "You will all die!"

Amelia looked over to Lily, shook her head, pushed Evie inside the ship and entered it herself. She started the engines and left the base together with Evie as hostage.
