End or no end

Elliot laughed, focusing on his hair. She shook her head, "I think I would have managed it," She moved around to the side of him, "My room was a little ways from the command centre... The gym on the other hand."

She ran a hand through his hair, ruffling it slightly as she worked, "Although, I'm sure someone else would have come along and been more angry with you than willing to untie you. If you were lucky, it might have been one of the girls, who might have let you out... If you weren't, it might have been out of the soldiers who might have knocked you out."

She giggled as she moved again and started to cut the front of his hair, "You may be the leader but people rarely get in the way of me teaching you a lesson."

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia woke the next morning and blinked a few times. She was slightly amazed she managed to sleep through the night. She felt a pain in her stomach and gasped closing her eyes tightly. Once it faded she took a few deep breaths. She climbed out of the bed and walked over to the closet. She changed out of the dress she had fallen asleep in and back into a night gown. She braced herself against the wall as the pain swelled again. She waited as it faded then walked over to Samsul, she must have slept through the earlier ones... She wondered if it was a contraction that woke her. She sat on the edge of the bed and shook his slightly. She smiled, "I think," She whimpered slightly as there was another pain. She closed her eyes tightly and gripped Samsul's arm. She gasped, "Time... I think... it's time."

End or no end

Elliot looked at him, "Calm down."

She shook her head and stood, "I do get it. I don't like the thought of shooting them either... But I wasn't saying that was the part you loved," She said quietly. She pointed at the map they had been looking at, "I meant this. You looked like you loved leading. Like it was something you were meant to do. But God! You're still just a child."

She turned away from him and walked out the room without another word.

Elliot laughed and nodded as she slowly started to cut his hair, "Kyle helped me... Caught you and cuffed you to the chair to help me."

She smiled at him as she worked away, cutting off his longer locks of hair, "It would have been so much easier if you had just cooperated... If you hadn't tempted me with leaving you tied up in that chair all night. To teach you a lesson, I believe."

End or no end

Elliot nodded, "Yes, yes, no buzz cut."

She pulled him out of the room in search of fine scissors. Assuming that the best scissors would probably be in the medical ward, she decided to kill to birds with one stone. She sat him on one of the beds and cleaned up his cut before putting a clean bandage on it. Once that was done, she went in search of scissors. With them in hand, she pulled Jacob out of the room, searching for a place that didn't need to be completely clean. Finding a mainly empty room. She pulled a chair in front on her and patted it, "Don't make me tie you to the chair."

Elliot stood and walked over to him, "Don't be such a Negative Nancy... You like this," she smiled at him, "I saw the way you looked while you were planning everything out. Besides... You don't need to know how to use a gun to be the brains of the operation. Nor do you need to know Chicago really well. You could just pipe in every once in a while when the leader passed up something."

She sat down and crossed her arms, grinning at him, "I think you love it."

End or no end

Elliot giggled as she looked at him, "Good. It is unbecoming of a leader to lose his temper," She thought about it for a moment, "I used to act out silly things that happened in romantic movies in my head with you.... That's why I asked you to teach me to shoot."

She sat up on the bed and climbed out. She grabbed her pants and pulled them on before pulling on her shirt and doing up the buttons. She smiled at Jacob and walked over to his side of the bed and held out her hand to him, "Come along. You need a hair cut and a new bandage. And we aren't going to put either off anymore."

Elliot walked them, her legs cross on her chair as she held her ankles. She didn't know why she was here. She didn't want to take part in any of the fighting. The only reason she asked Jacob to teach her to shoot was she wanted to be able to protect herself if needed. Also, if she was going to die, she wanted to play out at least one romantic movie scene. Sure, she might have preferred kissing in the rain but having him hold her while adjusting her stance and aim was good enough. Other than that, she had no interest. She didn't want to shoot the robots and she surely didn't want to shoot the aggressive humans who didn't wish to join them. Elliot looked at Jacob as he pointed at the map telling people what to do. He was so enthusiastic about it all....

End or no end

Elliot thought about it and smiled at him, "Because you don't seem weathered or worried... You're at ease."

She kissed him again and laughed as he said she didn't believe someone his age could lead the resistance, "In my defense. You were only 17..." She kissed his temple, "And a bit of a short fuse."

Elliot sat back and watched as Jacob spoke to the soldiers. She was amazed that they were so easily swayed by the fact that Jacob knew the city. She supposed he also knew how to shoot.... But surely, someone with more experience, even just life experience would be the wiser decision. She didn't say anything though. She went where Jacob went now. Sure, she had threatened to break away to leave but that was more so because she was curious to how he would react. She could just barely shoot a gun. She was better off with him, even if she wouldn't admit it.

End or no end

Elliot laughed and placed her hand on his face before she kissed him, "You always were a bit funny in the morning," She yawned, "I got to watch you sleep last night. Who'd have thought that man was leading a resistance."

She kissed him again, "I missed you too..." She pushed him back onto his back as she leaned over him and kissed him again, "But I don't have to miss you anymore. I get wake up every morning with you."

She looked at his bandaging and smiled, "I'll need to change that later.... Maybe when I give you your haircut," She teased.

End or no end

Elliot woke sometime later to find Jacob still lying next to her, however, he was awake. She ran a hand through her hair and yawned, "Morning."

She made no movement to leave the safety of his arms and continued to curl up against him. She gave him a quick kiss and smiled at him, "How long have you been awake?" Surely, it wasn't too long. After all, he was just laying there watching her. Sleeping Elliot couldn't be that interesting.

End or no end

Elliot smiled at Jacob drifted off to sleep. She leant forward and kissed his forehead before she relaxed in his arms. She watched him as she lay there for sometime. He was so calm and serene. After sometime of lying there, she yawned and placed her head against his chest. She closed her eyes and sighed. It took her a while to get to sleep, but when she did, she was out cold. She wasn't worried about the robots and didn't wake through the nights. She slept soundly.

End or no end

Elliot smiled as he wrapped his arm around her and scooted closer to him. She lay there, her face centimetres from his and gave him a kiss, "I missed you."

She placed her hands on his chest and took a deep breath, "You scared me though.... I thought I was going to lose you... like you did me...." She buried her face in his neck, "I'm so glad that I found you," She kissed his neck again before looking up at him. She wrapped a leg around his and smiled at him, "Get some sleep... Please...."
