Elise ran up the stairs with a maniac grin spreading wide across her face. She cloaked when she got the view of the outdoors from the open doorway. Slowly now, trying not to make the stairs creek, she tip-toed to the top. She could hear the heavy footsteps of someone coming near. By now, Elise's heart has slowed down to a slow and steady rhythm. Her fingers slipped into her pocket where she pulled out her balisong, opening it mindlessly as she listened more closely to the footsteps and waiting for a voice.
"Let's go," Scout said. But it wasn't her Scout, it was the enemy mainly because his voice was much more different but had the same accent.
"Nuurn hurr..." the enemy Pyro replied.
Scout sped passed Elise and sprinted down the stairs with his metal baseball bat in hand. Pyro, being in a fire-retardant suit and carrying a gas tank, was far behind Scout and much slower than he. Elise hesitated when she uncloaked to stab him. Her hands shook when he rounded the corner and was taken by surprise when the BLU Pyro didn't see her. The Pyro took slow steps and Elise could hear the heavy breathing inside the suit. She followed closely behind and raised her knife and dug it into the Pyro's back. Her eyes were closed but she could feel the flesh sliding off her knife as the enemy fell with a groan escaping the faceless mask. As she opened her eyes, in front of her, she could see the Scout crouching. With shaking fingers, Elise flipped her knife closed and took out her cigarette case, pressing the buttons and in a matter of seconds, she turned into the Pyro she had just killed.
"Pyro, you still there?" BLU Scout whispered in the silent hallway. "Get over here you little asshole."
Elise followed the voice and crouched as well, right behind the Scout. He looked over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes.
"What are you waiting for?" Scout hissed. "Get in there and destroy the damn sentry!"
"Mmm... Mur..." Elise stuttered. She hasn't taken note of how this Pyro talked, so she shut her mouth and just shook her head.
"What do you mean no?! Fucking go in there you dipshit!" Scout cursed.
This Scout had more of a potty mouth and looked much older than her Pyro.
"You hear something?" Engineer said inside the Intelligence Room. "C'mon, go check it out."
The squeak of Pyro's boots against the linoleum floors echoed in tune with the sentry's beeps. The Scout in front of Elise jumps at the sight of the RED Pyro. He yells and pushes Elise aside as he tries to run away from the fast approaching Pyro. She had to make a decision. Run away and keep playing along, or kill him right there.
"EHRNERMMY!" Pyro cries out.
Elise's eyes go wide when Pyro brings up his flamethrower, but her hands are quick to grab the Scout's collar. His legs fly out in front of him. Now, as if everything is going in slow motion, Elise pulls out her revolver and shoots Scout straight through his head. Pyro stops in his tracks and tilts his head, his flamethrower at the ready.
"Spurr?" Pyro asks as he slowly lowers his weapon.
Elise winks, but doubts that the Pyro can see it, so instead, she gives a thumbs up and runs out. Her hands quickly switch out her revolver for her cigarette case and is surrounded by a red cloud and looks down at herself, more like himself. Her hands are now bandaged and her suit is replaced with loose fitting pants and a tight blue shirt. As she runs, the dog tags clink together. Her hand goes to the watch and she turns invisible.
When she passes the resupply room, it opens and inside she can see Medic and Sniper materializing inside of a caged off area. Her heart beats faster and she smiles with joy from the sight of the two men. Spy is nowhere to be seen. Elise bumps into something sturdy and almost topples on top of the enemy Heavy.
"Agh!" he cries out in his booming voice. "IS SPY!" he shouts as he gets up swiftly and starts punching around. "Come out little Spy! Come fight Heavy like man!"
"Out here doctor!" says Heavy inside of the resupply room. "Yeeeaaaahhhh!" he growls as he rips bullets into the BLU Heavy's chest.
Elise gets up and stares at Heavy, but there is no Medic behind him. She doesn't concern herself too much about it. Instead, she walks slowly to where there is loud shouts of pain and whirrs of bullets hitting flesh and wood. It's as if she hasn't been in a very open area for a long time. She's been confined in the small space of the halls and her room. As soon as she takes a step away from the barrier at the end of the balcony, a bullet speeds past her. The unexpected shot causes her to fall onto her bottom, her heart racing.
"Whoa, that was too close..."
"Come and get me you fucking fatass!" BLU Scout shouts at Heavy.
Elise looks up at the sprinting BLU who is on top of the roof of the bridge. He inhales deeply before taking an impressive jump onto the balcony in front of Elise. She rolls away but then ends up rolling off of the edge.
"No!" Elise cries out. Her fall is cushioned by Demoman.
"What the hell?!" his thick Scottish accent is accompanied by the stench of alcohol. "Spy?"
"I'm sorry Demo!" Elise apologizes as she gets off of him quickly and retreats into a corner between the RED building and the fence that closes them in this area.
"Watch where you're going!" he shouts as he looks around.
Elise looks down at herself. She didn't realize that she was still invisible.
We have captured the enemy's intelligence!" the voice echoes throughout the battlements.
"Good job, soldier! Now get out of here!" Soldier yells as he shoots a rocket as his feet and flies from the BLU balcony onto the RED. "Run, Scout! Run!"
"I got it! I got it! I got it!" Scout yells with a huge grin on his face. "Come and get me!"
Sniper, a BLU, appears from the opposite side of the balcony. Scout screeches to a stop and watches as the Aussie looks through his scope and shoots Scout on his shoulder.
"Damn!" Scout cries out. He tries to jump onto the roof of the bridge but is too weak and ends up falling onto the ground with a loud grunt. "Guys! A little help!"
Demoman's airy shout rings in Elise's ear. She looks at the falling man and sees a shot right through his head. Her head turns to see the BLU Sniper reloading his sniper rifle. He waves with a similar canine grin.
Scout jogs into the building as two BLUs, a Demoman and a Medic, trail him. Elise goes in and uncloaks in an area heavily shaded so that Scout won't see her.
"I'm sorry, buddy," Elise whispers to herself. She exits out of the other door and motions for her 'teammates' to follow. They do as the BLU Scout says and see the RED Scout against the wall, holding the intelligence in his hand, the other hand holding his wound tightly. He winces and once he opens his eyes, he sees the two BLUs and Elise uncloaking behind them.
"Hey, what the fu-" Scout is cut off when the Medic slices his head off.
"Can you feel the- Ahhh!"
"Gaahh!"
Both of the BLUs fall to their knees with Elise behind them, flipping her knife closed and slipping it into her pocket. She picks up the intelligence and sprints as fast as she can deeper into the building and heading up the stairs. She is met with her Pyro, but stops. The Pyro tilts its head and raises its weapon. Elise shakes her head and puts her hands up. The Pyro gives her a thumbs up. Elise smiles widely with a hint of evil and returns the thumbs up. Elise runs past the Pyro and heads down the staircase. She is met with Engineer, who stares at her with a gaping mouth.
"Success! We have secured the enemy intelligence!"
"Again?! Holy cow, lil' missy. Two in a row? Now that's impressive. Spy must've trained you well!" Engineer compliments as he starts hammering away with his wrench. "You know, Spy will be very happy once he hears that it's been you who's been gettin' all the intel."
Elise doesn't reply. She just smiles at the working man and heads out of the room.
Sniper cracks his neck and winces with a growl escaping his lips. Medic is beside him, swaying slightly from his fatigue and the respawn. Sniper looks over at the German and snarls like an animal. Medic hears this and snarls back when he turns to glare at the Sniper.
"How dare you call her a thing!" Medic growls as he bares his teeth. "She is more than you think she is, you little shit!"
"She's nothing but a toy to you!" Sniper shoves Medic with great force.
"How dare you say such a thing to me! I do not treat her in any way such as that! You know, sometimes I wonder what goes on in that isolated mind of yours."
Sniper's eyes glow bright red with the intent to murder. He swings a punch at Medic and it lands right on his chin... again. Medic turns away to hold his wound. He gets back up to slap Sniper across his face. The rubber of Medic's glove causes the slap to add an extra sting. Immediately after the slap, Medic lands a few good punches on his abdomen, finalizing with an uppercut to add a wound on his chin.
"Agh, fuck you old man!" Sniper curses as he leaves the respawn area and snatches his sniper rifle and exits the room. Medic follows after he inhales the medigun's healing beam.
"Let's go, old man! One more to go," Scout hisses as he sprints out of the room.
Medic looks down the barrel of his medigun, the red beam warming his face. "Old man..." Medic repeats in his head.
Spy keeps his back close against the wall of the intelligence room. He can hear the beeping of a sentry and the whirring of a teleporter and dispenser. He slowly takes his sapper and goes in swiftly, sapping all of the BLU Engineer's toys. To finish his masterpiece, Spy fights with the stout man, easily backstabbing him. Spy picks up the ammo from the destroyed dispenser. With long strides, Spy picks up the BLU briefcase. He backs up slowly, feels the barrel of an Ambassador and hears the click of the gun.
"Drop it," the BLU Spy commands.
Spy raises his arms and lets the briefcase clatter onto the floor.
"We have dropped the enemy intelligence!" rings throughout the silent area.
"Yo, Spy!" Scout calls out as he runs right into the BLU Spy and ends up getting shot straight through the head.
The BLU Spy spins around quickly and is met with the desk. "Merde!" he curses when he loses sight of his RED counterpart. "Stop disappearing, you coward..." he talks as he walks around the room with his gun held tightly in his hands.
Elise runs into the same room and stops when the barrel of the BLU Spy's gun hits her temple. She doesn't move a muscle and lets the enemy remove all of her weapons along with her cigarette case.
"There you are," the BLU Spy laughs lowly. "Peek-a-boo, I see you."
He kicks away Elise's weapons and stares at her face.
"Any last words before I get the pleasure of blowing your brains out?" the BLU Spy says as he takes a step to face Elise. "Why are you so pale, mon ami? Are you really that afraid of death? How foolish of me, I've killed you so many times that you've forgotten the feeling of being killed by me."
Elise's eyes widen and her mouth hangs open. His lips... his facial features... his eyes...
His voice.
"It can't be..." Elise says in barely a whisper.
The BLU Spy's sly grin disappears and his face is replaced with a look of confusion. His gun aims down slightly as his eyes lock onto Elise's.
"Non..." he breathes out.
"Pierre."
Before anything else happens, the BLU Spy's eyes roll back and his mouth gurgles with blood. He falls onto his front, Spy's knife sticking out from his back. He pulls it out and wipes his blade, staring deep into Elise's shining eyes. She knows full well that Spy will give her a consequence for showing her emotions, but she can't help it. This time it's real. There's no stopping it.
Their other RED teammates flood in and capture the intelligence.
"We got it!" Scout cheers. "Let's finish this once and for all!"
They leave the two in the room. They weren't even acknowledged from the other men.
Elise holds the eye contact and her eyes can't take it anymore. She starts to bawl her eyes out and her knees go weak causing her to fall forward, but Spy is there to catch her. He holds her tight to his chest, knowing that his fellow REDs are gone by now. He hushes her and rubs her back.
He fully understands why she is crying. He had read her file after all. Now he knows why the name in her file seemed so familiar to him. It's the same name in the file he stole years ago from the BLU intelligence.
Cloaked and hiding in the shadows, the BLU Spy watches the scene unfold between the two RED Spies. He rips his eyes away from the two and bangs his head against the entry wall. He slides down so he is sitting against the wall.
"We have secured the enemy intelligence!"
A horn sounds throughout the battlements and the round cheers of the REDs could be heard, even in the BLU basement.
The name rolls off his tongue like silk, just as it did before.
"Elise..."
Helen stares at the monitors and throws the microphone onto the desk behind her. She takes a drag of her cigarette and blows out the smoke onto the monitor with the two RED Spies and the one BLU Spy.
She reaches behind her and throws the two files onto her lap.
"Elise, meet Pierre... once again."
Oh. My. God.
-August 16-
Guys. I. Am. So. Sorry.
I'M SO SORRY! IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I UPDATED THIS! I MEAN, AUGUST 16?! THAT WAS FOREVER AGO! I'M SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
I FEEL ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE FOR TAKING FOREVER TO UPDATE!
Please... forgive me. :(
But I can explain, and please believe me, my dears. I had absolutely no inspiration and motivation to write anymore. Even on Wattpad, I stopped writing. I just... I guess you can say 'I lost interest'. Also, once school started, I promised myself to actually do good for once. It's my first year of High School, and I intend to do well...
But now it's Christmas Break! That's a good thing... right? Well, of course! Now I have time to find my motivation to write again!
Once again, I'm so sorry for not updating. I love you all for everything you have done for me! Following my stories and actually reading them and commenting does me so much good! I haven't written in such a long time, so I can't wait to see what you guys have to say about this new chapter!
Speaking of a new chapter, what did you guys think of this one? I've lost touch with the characters, so I'll have to start getting to know them again. Haha, also, I'll have to do some hardcore editing for this one because I just know that it's riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Well, you know the drill soldier! If you see any mistakes, PM me immediately! That's an order!
Once again... again, I'm sorry for not updating. You know I love you guys!
{Hugs and Kisses! :)} x10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
