My hero.

Gwen opened her eyes with great difficulty. She swallowed but her throat was dry and it was sore from earlier. She found her myself lying on the floor. She was in a different room this time. She pulled herself up by holding a table for support. The place was dark but she could tell it was huge. Her legs were weak and she felt numb. She tried to let her eyes adjust to the dark when suddenly the room lit up. Gwen's eyes hurt at first as they adjusted to the light. She blinked and looked around. They were in an abandoned cinema.

" Do you like movies ? " Rocky was leaning on the wall. " You know , if the situation was different I'd have loved to take you out on a movie date." Gwen scoffed at his words.

" What are we doing here ?" Gwen struggled to speak.

" We're here to send you off in style. " Rocky snapped his fingers and two men came with a bag. They hit Gwen in the back and she fell on her face. Rocky bent to her and held her by the chin.

" My men here are going to give you a taste of our latest drugs. I like to call it 'Bliss'. " He smiled. Gwen saw the men take out a syringe and a bottle ." Don't worry , you won't feel a thing. At first you'll feel like you're soaring in the skies , then you'll feel like you're tired , then you'll not be able to keep your eyes open for much longer and suddenly..." he whispered." You'll be surrounded by angels or swimming with devils."

Rocky took a seat at the front row. He had popcorn and a soda. He was loving this. One of the men held Gwen's arm to lift her . She grabbed a broken piece of wood and smacked him across the face. Rocky clapped and whistled in amusement.

" That's gonna leave a mark ! " He laughed. Gwen kicked and punched till she had no more strength left in her. She just watched as they extracted the liquid in the tiny bottle. The needle entered her flesh slowly. She closed her eyes. She couldn't feel her body anymore. She lay on the floor like melted butter. Her thoughts started to drift. She thought about her Mom and Louis. What would they think when they found her dead body ? Death due to a drug overdose. Would they be disappointed? She fought to hold back her tears . She couldn't be weak. Her eyelids became heavy. She felt like she was in a dream. Slowly she felt the needle pierce her skin again. She thought about her life and how much she'd done so far. She was happy that she was able to provide for her family. She wasn't ashamed of what she'd been doing. As long as she got her mom and Louis through difficult times. Her vision became blurred. Leo. She hadn't cleared things with him yet. He was her best friend. If he only knew how much he mattered. Gwen didn't feel the needle enter her the third time. Her eyes slowly shut . She could hear her own heartbeat. Was she dying? She felt her body relax . It's like she was weightless. Then she remembered something... Alec.

Her eyes opened again. She didn't want to leave him. She'd just let herself feel his care ...his love. Love? Was she in love with him ? ...So soon. She tried to move but it was pointless. She took a deep breath and gathered every ounce of life she had in her. All she managed to do was turn to her side.

" Boss, this bitch just won't die!" The man with the syringe told Rocky.

" I'm a busy man. Just shoot her." Rocky flung a gun at him. He came and stood over her with the gun in his hand. Gwen didn't have much fight left in her but all she knew was that she would let her enemy have the last laugh.

" Shoot." She looked straight at the gun. There was silence for a while. It felt like an eternity until....BANG!!!

Gwen didn't know if she was dead or not. She closed her eyes and waited for a sign or something. What happened when you died ? Wasn't there supposed to be light ? She opened her eyes when she heard more bullets being fired. She couldn't see much . Soon her body gave up and her eyes shut. She could feel someone lift her. She felt safe .

" Looks like someone got here before us." Mike kicked the body next to him. " And this guy wasn't here to play around."

Bain turned the dead body using his foot . There were so many bullet holes in him that you could almost use him as a sieve. His face was completely disfigured . Bain tossed his gun to one of his other man. He looked around . Rocky's body wasn't among these.

" Rocky's not here." Bain's brows furrowed. " I guess whoever did this has something special planned for him."
