~ASSASSIN'S LOVE~

**CHAPTER ONE - PROMISES**

"Huh! Huh!"

Callie panted heavily. Running away in the dark and thick forest for hours made she lost her direction. Sometimes she felt like she had been passing the same place for a few times. She hadn't heard any movement from behind her so she decided to make a quick stop. The Latina leaned her body against one tree, her eyes closed as she took a deep breath; trying to think what had happened to her now. Her brown eyes examined the injury to her left shoulder. Her right hand, which held her gun, lifted her black coat on the injured shoulder so she could see how bad her injury was. She groaned in pain and just noticed her left side of her white top covered with her blood. The image of Alex Karev pulled his trigger in her direction, starting to haunt her. Callie wiped off the blood that running down from her right temple with her coat sleeve. She doesn't have any idea why this happening to her. Just earlier this morning, she led her team for their new task, but now she was running away from her team who were trying to kill her.

Now, her feelings mixed with lost, sad, frustrated and full of anger. She knew Alex never respect her as his leaders, but to think that her own best friend could pick Alex to betray her, she just can't accept it. Mark, the man who always by her side since they were young, always playing as big brother to her and the only best friend she ever had. But now, he tried to kill her and this new information had ripped the woman's heart. She knew she kept pushing Mark away, but never in her mind Mark chosen this way against her. Tears started to roll down on her cheeks without she even realized it.

Bang!

The loud sound had made the brunette jumped from her deep thought. She knew her team getting closer to her. Callie pushed her body off from the tree as she continued her run from men who were chasing her from behind. Another shot had been released and hit the tree next to her. She ducked her head and continued to run. Gun firing had been released again and again from behind and one of its hit Callie's right leg.

"Argh!" Callie screamed in pain as she fell on the ground hard. "Damn!" She cursed loudly when she looked over her bleeding leg. She knew she can't run fast with that leg. The Latina tried to calm herself. She can bear the pain but she knew she can't give up yet. She had to fight. She had to fight for herself, for her girlfriend and for her pride.

"Callie?"

Callie looked up to her girlfriend and smiled. Checking her gun for a last time before placing it on her lower back, she finally gave her girlfriend her full attention. "Yes?" Addison forced a smile to the brunette. Callie could see something wrong with the red haired girl. "Are you okay, dear?"

Addison sighed, never breaking eye contact with her girl. "Don't leave me."

The brunette girl looked at the other woman with confuse. "What?"

Addison looked away trying to fight her tears. "You know, every time you go for your mission, I can't help myself thinking that you will leave me alone in this world. We both know how dangerous our job is, so to think that I will never see you again-that thought terrifies me. And sometimes I don't trust Karev…"

The Latina was trying to read her girl's face to understand her feelings. She knew how dangerous her job was, no matter how perfect she was. She had witnessed some of their colleagues died in the middle of their missions, but she never thought it would happen to herself. Now to think she might get killed and leave the love of her life alone, she just can't let it happen. She had been in that place for losing her loved one once. It was too heartbroken for her to accept the fact she was losing her beautiful lover and she doesn't want Addison to face the same situation. Pulling her lover into her warm embrace, she kissed the red haired woman's temple softly.

"I will not leave you, love," she whispered. "And about Karev, he had been put under me for years. He can't do any harm to me, okay?"

Addison nodded before wrapped her arms around Callie's waist and buried her nose against the Callie's shoulder. The smell of Callie's vanilla scent always calmed her. "Promise me you will come home safe?"

Callie brushed Addison's red hair to console her. "I promise…"

The tanned girl wiped off the tears that running down on her cheeks. Addison was right, she shouldn't trust Alex. Pushing her body off from the ground, even the pain was killing her. She had to fight to stay alive. 'I have to come home for Addison. I promise her to come home to her. I have to come home,' she said to herself again and again as she pushed herself dragging her injured leg to move with her. She put away all the pain behind her. All she could think now was Addison. Swinging her gun in the direction behind her, Callie pulled the trigger a few times. Alex, Mark and Jackson hid behind the trees to avoid the wild bullets that coming from Callie who usually never missed her targets. Callie used that time to continue her escape.

But her eyes widened at the view in front her. She was standing at the edge of the sea cliff with the wild ocean were waiting below. Brown eyes were looking to surround her. There was no way to run. No matter how hard she tried to think she knew there was no way to run.

"Well, well, well..." Alex's voice made Callie spun around to face the man who trying to kill her. He pointed his gun in Callie's direction as Callie does the same. "Look like this is the end. You have nowhere to run, Torres."

Callie was silent, trying to cover all her emotions and the pains behind her calm face. Her eyes locked with the brown eyes as she tried to challenge him. "What you want from me, Karev?"

Alex huffed after hearing the question coming from the Latina's mouth. "Isn't it obvious what I'm doing now, Torres?"

"Killing me, won't give any benefit to you."

Alex laughed, but never let his guard off. He knew how Callie worked. She was the best assassin for their organization or maybe in the world. Killing world's politician big names in her previous missions had made her the best assassin, but Alex was never a fan of her getting all attentions and fame since the beginning of her journey as an assassin. Without no one notices, he was forming his own small team and wait for the day to kill the brunette. He had waited for years for this day to come. No way would he let his guard off today. He knew if he did, he will be the one who got killed.

"I would say, I don't like being the second in command on this team, especially when you are my team leader," Alex explained. He had been in the organization for three years before Callie's and Mark's arrival, but now she was his leader. "If I kill you now, I will step up and be this team's leader."

Now it was Callie's turn to laugh. "What make you think by killing me, you will become a leader?" She shook her head unbelievable. "I thought we were finally good. I chose you to be my second man and now you are trying to kill me?"

Alex smirked. Of course he knew he will not easily be one of the Top 5 Leader. "Maybe if I can make Montgomery mine, Webber will like me the way he liked you and they will let be a leader replacing you."

The Latina's blood boiled in anger hearing Alex planning to take her girl away from her. "Fuck you!" Callie cursed loudly. "She is not a thing for you to make her yours that easily!" To think someone took advantage of her beautiful woman just the sake of pride and power, she can't accept it. Some may say she was with Addison for her own benefits and position in the organization, but she knew the red haired didn't see her that way. She had moved on from her past love and she loved her lover now with all her heart. Never once in her mind to take advantage of her girlfriend's position. Beside Webber liked her before she and Addison were together.

Callie was about to pull the trigger, but Mark's arrival at the scene made her stop. He pointed his gun in her best friend's direction. "Drop the gun, Torres!"

Without breaking the eyes contact with Alex, "You drop the gun!" she yelled. "You both drop the gun!"

The shorter man knew how fast the Latina was. She could shoot him and Mark before they both could pull their triggers. She was a legend for nothing. Everybody knew the fact that he can't take Callie down with his own self. But to have Mark pointed his gun in the brunette's direction, he knew this was his chance. "Kill her, Sloan!"

Mark snapped at Alex's command. "What?"

"Kill her!"

"You promise me you just want to warn her!" Mark pointed out, but never breaking his eyes away from the woman in front him as he examined her injuries all over her body.

"Leave him alone!" Callie yelled to Alex. "You shouldn't drag him along to this!"

Mark tried to read the brunette's face, who never make any eyes contact with him since he arrived there. He could see the anger, sadness, upset and confuse on his best friend's eyes. He never wanted this. Callie was always his family he ever had. She was his sister, his best friend. But now, he was pointing his gun in her direction. Yes, he was upset, mad at the girl who were so important to him in the past, but this - he never wanted this. Now Alex told him to pull his trigger to the woman who was everything to him? No!

"Mark, go!" Callie told him when she could sensed Mark battling with himself.

"No!"

"Kill her, Sloan!"

"No!"

"She is not your best friend anymore!"

"Shut up!" Mark was struggling with his emotions. "Shut the fuck up!"

"Please, Mark. Leave…" Callie pleaded.

Alex could feel that the taller man wouldn't pull his trigger so he decided to finish off the woman in front him with his own gun. Before he could pull the trigger, the loud sounds filled the air. Alex's eyes widened as he saw his gun flying off from his grip. His heart beat fast at the sudden attack from the brunette. He could have died. Callie could just shoot his head, but she chose to shoot his gun. His eyes went back to his leader. Her eyes were wide in shock with her gun still pointing at the shorter man.

Callie's brown eyes dropped to her body. Her mouth gape opened as she placed her shaky hand on to her left chest where the blood coming unstoppable. Took a look into her right palm, which covered with her own blood, Callie knew that was bad. It hurt badly. No word could come out of her mouth to describe the pain. Deep brown met blue eyes. Mark's eyes widened and his hand with the gun shaky. He just froze, watching Callie, who was bleeding badly. He couldn't believe he just shot his best friend, his sister, his only - the only family he ever had. Tears started to pool in brown and blue eyes. Brown eyes, the upset tears fell uncontrollable while tears of regret started to escape from the blue eyes.

"No…" Mark shook his head.

Callie felt so hard to breathe. Her body started to feel heavy and numb to all the pains that she had. Her feet moved backward weakly. This was the end, the end of her. Losing her parents when she was nine in a car accident had brought trauma in her life, she even lost the love of her life once. Now it was her turn. The image of Addison sleeping next to her made more tears rolling down on her cheeks. She loved that woman with all her heart. Being an assassin, she shouldn't love someone. She always told herself after her previous lover died in her mission, she can't love anyone again. She tried not to care, she tried not to love anyone, but Addison had opened her heart and made she fell in love again. Her eyes never break from looking at her best friend. "A-Addie…" blood spurted out from her mouth.

The gun slipped off from his grip as Mark made a move on Callie. "No!"

Before Mark could reach her, Callie slipped off and fell down from the edge of the sea cliff.

"No, Callie!" Mark shouted from the edge. He lay on his stomach on the ground with his hand trying to reach for Callie who already disappeared into the wild ocean below them. "I'm sorry…" Mark sobbed with full of regret. "I'm sorry…" he repeated.

Jackson finally arrived at the scene. He looked at both men and looked around the place. "What happened? I heard the sound-," he asked. "Where is Torres?"

"Sloan killed Torres," Alex told Jackson coldly.

Mark was mad hearing it from Alex's mouth like it was his entire fault. Pushing himself off the dirty ground, he shoved the shorter man hard. "It's your fucking fault!" Mark yelled and continued shoving the other man. "You wanted to kill her! You told us you just want to warn her!"

Alex punched Mark on his face and made the taller man hit the ground with terrific thud. "But you are the one who killed her! That's the fucking fact!" Alex turned around and walked away. Jackson was speechless. He never thought Mark could kill Callie. Alex stopped his pace, but didn't turn around. "You both have to shut the hell of your mouth about this. No one should know what had happened, especially Montgomery," he warned before walked away, leaving his men at the scene.

The sound of waves hitting the beach always calmed her. Arizona sat on the white sand facing the blue ocean with the sun shone beautifully. She saw the view every day, but it never got bored. Sometimes the beach brought back her memories that she has tried to erase since three years ago. Those memories meant everything to her. Those memories had made her still alive today. Those memories had made her to fight for her life. Living alone made she can't stop thinking about pass. Sometimes it sucked. She tried to move on but living alone in the sea house made mind thinking and thinking. She heard a movement from behind her. Arizona turned her head slightly and the smile on her face widened as her dimples popped deep on her cheeks. Looking at her yellow Labrador retriever with blue flying disc gritted firmly into his mouth, Arizona knew she was not alone. Cody dropped the flying disc next to the blonde before looking up to the woman and barked like telling her something.

Arizona grinned at her dog's behavior. Knowing what Cody wanted, she took the disc off from the sand and pushed her body to fully stand again. Cody looked up at his master and his tail swung happily at the sight. "You ready to catch it?" Arizona asked playfully and getting a bark from her dog. "Okay. I know you are excited, but…" Arizona teased.

Cody barked again as he moved in circle eager to play catch the disc. He couldn't wait anymore as she stood against Arizona. It amazed Arizona how big Cody was now compared to the day she found him at the town in the rain with injured leg. She never had second thought about bringing Cody back home that day and treated his injury. Now Cody was her best friend. When the blonde was sad he knew how to cheer her up. When she felt lonely, Cody will move next to her and rested his head on Arizona's lap.

"Okay, okay. Let's play," Arizona gave up when Cody tried to lick her face. "Ready?"

Cody barked.

Arizona swung her right hand throwing the disc flying across the beach. "Go!" Cody immediately ran toward the flying disc direction and he jumped into the air to catch it. Arizona clapped her hands. The yellow dog ran back to his master and shoved it back to the woman. Arizona grabbed the disc and brushed Cody's head softly. "Good boy."

Cody barked again, knowing his master really proud of him.

"Again?"

The yellow dog barked as saying yes.

"Okay," she winked. She threw the disc in the other direction and Cody ran for it. Arizona was smiling at the sight in front her, but her smile faded out when she saw Cody was stopped his pace. He turned around and barked to Arizona like he was saying something. "Cody?" Arizona yelled out his name. Cody barked again before he spun around and ran further into the water. The blonde started to feel uneasy as she started to jog to where Cody was. "Cody!" she saw Cody jumped into the water and started to swim. "Cody comes back here, buddy!"

As she came closer to the water, she saw Cody was pulling something from the water with his strong teeth. Her eyes widened when she finally recognized what Cody had been pulled off, a woman. Arizona ran into the water and helped her dog to pull the stranger out of water. After struggling to pull the person to the sand, Arizona knelt next to the stranger while breathing hard. She pulled the other woman's wrist to check her pulse. She sighed in relief when she could feel the woman's pulse beat. It was weak, but she knew this woman was strong. She looked at Cody and gave him a proud smile. Cody barked at the blonde knowing he just saved that woman's life. Arizona moved her fingers to tuck the stranger's dark haired behind her ear so she could see clearly the woman's face. Her eyes went wide and her heart stopped beating. Battled with her inner feelings and tried to breathe again, her blue eyes examined the injuries on the conscious woman's body. She had several bad injuries. Blue eyes started to pool with tears. Whoever had hurt the woman this way should get paid the same way.

"I'm sorry this had happened to you, but I promise I will take care of you now," Arizona told the other woman even she was aware she will not hear her. "Let's take her home, Cody."

A/N: What you think? I always love the idea of Addison & Callie...
