The worst day

This fanfic was inspired by amiss assumptions and alternate endings by Kitty M Smith. I thought it was an amazing fic and wanted to do my own spin of how I think Amelia grew to be the captain she was and the scenes between Amelia and Delbert that we don't get to see in the movie. This fic will take place around the voyage and after the voyage, with little scenes from Amelia and Delbert's past.

Ive added a tiny bit more to the story. The chapter is pretty much the same I just changed a bit of some of the sentences.

After a month of sailing, taking cargo from montressor space port to her birth planet, she was finally home, in the place she wanted to be the most, where she could let go and relax. As Amelia stood on the balcony staring up into the etherium a gentle breeze lightly blew her short auburn locks knocking them into her partners face, which was currently resting in the crook of her neck, causing him to chuckle. The feeling of his hot breath on her cool neck and his strong arms securely around her waist made her feel safe, as if nothing could hurt her. The moment, like most moments with him, was perfect. " I love you Amy. I missed you" Christopher whispered in her ear, gently kissing her neck, sending shivers up her spine. Amelia turned in his arms and kissed him, "I love you too" she whispered against his lips as they kissed. A smile forming on both of their faces, the kiss soon turning passionate. As he backed her up against the railing of their balcony, they were too consumed in the bliss and the feel of each other's soft lips that they weren't ready for what was about to occur.

A loud bang against their front door startled the couple. Cautiously, they made their way back inside with the banging growing stronger and more aggressive. "Hide in the pantry, stay quiet and don't come out until I get you" Chris said, holding Amelia by her shoulders, his voice so quiet she had to strain to hear him. "No… I won't leave you, please don't make me". Amelia grabbed his arm pulling him back, her eyes searching his, desperate to let her stay with him.

Christopher leaned his forehead against hers, the banging on the door so hard now that it won't be long until they've broken in, his hands lightly traced her cheeks wiping her tears away "please Amy, this is all my fault. I owe these people a lot of money and if they see you, then you'll be dragged into this mess. Let me fix this. For us. Everything is going to be fine. I promise you". With that Amelia kissed his lips one more time and turned, glancing over shoulder to see him watch her leave.

As soon as she shut the pantry door, the door to the apartment broke, resulting in ten men walking into the flat. At first the voices were calm. Then suddenly all hell broke loose. She could hear all their belongings being destroyed, shouts erupting from voices she never knew and grunts from someone being punched. As she bit her cheeks to refrain from making any noise, tears softly rolled down her cheeks causing herself to become angry at the drips cascading down. Her training as a captain told her to keep her feelings in check, but she found it remarkably hard ever since she met Christopher. Now she had no idea if he was dead or alive and didn't care about the foreign liquid staining her face.

She wondered why he owed people money. The both of them having good jobs; him a successful astrophysicist planning routes for voyages for the navy, and her the best female captain. A gunshot broke her out of a daze. She covered her mouth for fear of being found, desperate to keep her promise.

More gunshots rang out through her apartment. Soon everything went quiet. The silence more deafening than the gunshots were. She sat and waited for Christopher to come and get her. She didn't know how long she waited but if everything was fine, he would've come and gotten her already.

Slowly Amelia stood up, her limbs protesting from their tense position cramped in a corner. Quietly she turned the doorknob, looking out into the hallway. All their belonging lay strewn across the floor, broken glass littering the carpet cutting into her bare feet. That was the least of her concerns.

As she turned the corner into the living room, she noticed a body on the floor. Relief flooded her as she did not recognise the person. The further she progressed through the apartment the more unknown bodies lay on the ground, their blood staining her white carpet. As she moved into her bedroom, she noticed all her jewellery gone and their cupboards ransacked. A coughing alerted her. She turned around and fell to her knees, sobs wracking through her body. She crawled over and pulled Christopher's body into her lap. His throat had been cut; blood glistened on her hand as she frantically tried to stop the bleeding. All she could think about was how it was too soon. The only man she had ever loved, lay dying in her arms. She felt him pull one of her hands away from his neck. Confusion filtered through her eyes. He pressed something into her palm.

"I love you more than anything in this world. I am so proud of everything you've done. Carry on being the infamous captain Amelia". When she looked down into her hand an engagement ring covered in blood lay there. As she looked back into his eyes, she noticed they were empty. The colour drained from his face as his arms limp.

At first, she sat there in silence not knowing what to do. Shed clutched his body tight to her chest. Sobs burst from her. She screamed, she screamed for the love she lost and the loss of the future she had envisioned for them to have. No children, the perfect blend of the two of them would be running around. Their laughter would never reach her ears. She would never hear his voice again, feel his touch, feel his love. She now knew what it felt like to die and agreed she would never feel that way again. She vowed clutching Christopher's body, that she would never love again, her crew would fear her, so that no more loss could hurt her. The only people she would let near her heart would be her sister and her first mate. Nothing was going to make her feel like this ever again.

If you liked it, it would be amazing if you could leave a review, letting me know what you would like to see happen.
