[ WP ] `` You know what ? Fuck this war . I just want you dead . ''

`` You know what? Fuck this war. I just want you dead.'' I said, taking the gun from my waistband and pointing it at her head. 
 
 `` Go ahead. Kill me. You're standing there, your gun pointed at my head, while I sit on the floor in the corner. You want me to beg for my life or something? Because it's not going to happen. The only one who will sob over my death is you.'' She spat from her position on the ground. Judging from the way she was sitting, she probably had one broken leg and at least three broken ribs. She had a cut on her lip and eyebrow. 
 
 `` Why would I, of all people, cry over your death?'' I asked, walking closer to her. 
 
 `` Incase you forgot, I'm the only one who knows where your beloved fiancé is. You kill me and she dies.'' 
 
 `` Tell me where she is!'' I screamed at her. 
 
 `` Ah, ah, ah, Derek. Your desperation is showing. The only way you'll see her again is to let me go and surrender.'' 
 
 `` I will not surrender. I have fought for too long, lost too many friends, suffered too much pain, to surrender now! You think that the only way to maintain peace is to make everyone act and think the same way! You ca n't control everyone!'' 
 
 `` That's fine if you wo n't surrender. Kill me. I dare you. I want you to pull the trigger and end my life. My work is finished. When you sit home, alone, ten years from now and cry silently to yourself because you could n't save her, I want you to think of this moment and pity yourself.'' She spat. 
 
 Someone knocked on the door and entered. It was my second in command, Scott. He saluted me and nodded towards Lilith. 
 
 `` Made your decision, sir?'' He asked. 
 
 `` Debating. Any word on Jess?'' I asked, hoping that they found my fiancé. 
 
 `` Yes, sir. Isaac and his team found her, unconscious, outside the wall. She needs time to recover, but she'll be fine.'' Scott said. I turned my head over to Lilith. 
 
 `` Well, looks like no one needs you any more. Not us, not your soldiers, not the people in town who thought you were doing good. End of the road for you.'' I said. 
 
 `` Go ahead.'' She dared. I got ready to pull the trigger, when one of my men ran into the room. Stiles, he was part of our intelligence team. He helped with technology and medics. 
 
 `` Do n't shoot!'' He yelled. 
 
 `` What is now? Why ca n't I just die in peace?'' She asked, agitated. 
 
 `` We need the serum recipes. None of her men know them.'' Stiles said. She let out a sigh and a quiet laugh. 
 
 `` Where are the serum instructions?'' I asked. 
 
 `` Looks like someone does need me after all.'' 
 
 `` We are n't playing games any more, Lilith. Give us the recipes.'' I demanded. 
 
 `` No.'' She said and pulled a gun out from behind her back. She aimed it at me and shot my shoulder. I fell to the ground in pain, Stiles running to my side, syringe in hand. He stabbed the syringe into the bullet wound and pain washed over me, followed by relief. 
 
 I stood up, followed by Stiles. Scott had disarmed Lilith. Stiles pulled another syringe from the briefcase he was carrying. He walked over to Lilith and injected it into her neck. 
 
 `` Truth serum. Ask her again.'' Stiles announced. 
 
 `` Where are the recipes, Lilith?'' I asked. She looked as if she was fighting with herself to answer. 
 
 `` Verigo headquarters.'' She revealed. 
 
 `` Nice working with you, Lilith.'' I said, raising my gun. 
 
 `` No! Please!'' 
 
 `` I thought you said you would n't beg.'' I said, pulling the trigger. 
 
 
 ~~~ 1 month later ~~~ 
 
 `` The war against the Verigo and the rest of the colonies has come to an end!'' I announced into the microphone. Cheers from the citizens were loud. 
 
 `` You did good, Captain.'' Scott said, patting my back.
