"Will you really kill me?"
"If you leave me no choice Emily"
Okay this was going nowhere. I wanted to cry out in frustration.
Then a shot rings out. The next thing I know I felt a hot white pain at the side of my unscarred leg just below my knee. I scream but it was muffled by his rough hand. Frozen in shock it takes me a moment to get my head together as he removed his hand.
"You shot me" gazing down at my wounded leg.
"Merely a flesh wound not time I will aim for your head."
I stiffen to afarid to be concern with pain. The fucker really shot me. Silence all you could hear is the beating of my heart and his swallow breathing. I am paralyzed with fear as someone knocks on the door.
"Are you okay Alena. I heard a gun shot should I call the police? "
He cocks his head looking at me gun pointed to the door.
"If she comes in here I will kill her and will be on your conscience"
I glup
"No no I am okay it was the television" hoping to convince her with my unsteady voice.
"Didn't the night we share mean anything to you?" I muttered knowing she was still outside.
