February - Finale

It was time to finish this. After more than six years of hell from the place we were finally going to stand up and say we weren't taking anymore. To them, we were just pieces on a chess board strategically placed for their end game. Now we were about to fuck up their game and show them exactly what it meant to have a free will that didn't

The sound of someone screaming caught my attention as it did Dom's and I looked to the window as she announced that had been Lily. No. No, I didn't accept that. Glaring at her, all I could see was red. I wanted to rip her fucking head off and give it to Harry to feed off of just for the hell of it.

Kennedy and I both circled her and then Kennedy launched herself at Dom, both of them falling to the floor and punches thrown from either direction. She spit in Dom's face and I was about to pull the bitch off of her but suddenly the building started to shake violently and the portal appeared.

She spouted off something to Kennedy and once she was back up on her feet, she looked at me again. Her expression almost a calm acceptance.

The next words out of her mouth hit me hard and caught me off guard. The portal was getting larger and I just stared at her, glaring through yellow eyes now. I wanted to smack her hard back into hell but before I had the chance she blew me a kiss was walking into hell herself.

He wasn't the dark one and fuck whatever she said right now to get her last chance to fuck with my head. She was done for and she knew it. Whatever she said didn't matter.

Once the portal closed, I shook my head to get the newly raised questions out and steadied myself when the building shook again. The place was going to crumble from the inside out and we needed to get the hell out of here.

"Come on," I yelled to Kennedy as we both ran out of the office. We headed for the stairs but they had already collapsed. Fuck. "The back way, through there," I said and we ran towards the stairs at the back of the building.

I wanted to rip her head off when she backhanded me and gave me a message to give Grace. Apparently she wasn't up on the latest news on the whole Grace situation. But whatever. She was probably just trying to get to me anyway. I got to my feet as she got up and started walking towards Angel. The building was shaking horribly and the portal was getting bigger and bigger. Part of me wanted to rush at her and knock her into it, but what if I ended up going in with her? No way in hell that was gonna happen. I think she knew the battle was over and the only thing she could do was just go into the light. Figuratively speaking.

She was talking to Angel, but I couldn't hear what she was saying over the sounds of the building starting to come apart. It was rumbling and shaking and I knew it was only a matter of minutes before it totally collapsed. We needed to get the hell out of there. I rolled my eyes when she blew Angel a kiss and smirked at me before disappearing and the portal closing.

I ran after Angel, trying to get the hell out before the whole thing came down on us. The stairs were already gone though, and Angel knew of another way out, so we ran, taking the stairs two at a time as they collapsed behind us. We barely got to the bottom. Running down the corridor, barely dodging pieces of the ceiling as they collapsed behind us, we pushed open the door and ran like hell to get out of the path of the falling debris. Once we were far enough away, we both turned back to look at the remnants of what remained of Wolfram & Hart. We'd managed to send Dom back to hell, I hope the others had managed to do the same. We stood there in silence for a couple of minutes, staring at the aftermath of a war. And just like with war, our victory would be bittersweet. We might've won in a sense, but what all did we lose in the process?
