Plot Twist

16. choose me

*Rowan*

I ran to the car and started the engine. This can not be happening. Not again. Not like Kameron.
I speed down the street, way over the speed limit. I pray that i won't get pulled over. On the way there i notice a car had begun tailing me. I grit my teeth and go faster. I have to get there NOW.

*Valkyrie*

I wake up on the cold floor and groan slightly.
'Oh thank god i thought you were dead.'
I whip round and see Elizabeth,
'Don't worry. I'm not, Mark...we know what he wants' i croak. Lizzie gives me a small smile,
'How long have you been here?'
'Same as you, they picked you up first and then got me'
I nodded.
'Ahh finally up are we?' Mark chuckles. I look up and try to get into a sitting position which is kind of hard since my hands and feet are tied.
I then see Jeremy.
'Oh hi Jeremy! Three visits this month!' I say brightly and he winces.
'I...i'm sorry' he whispers
'Cut it. You disowned her when you joined me.' Mark snaps.
I sigh and roll my eyes before turning to Lizzie 'you alright?' And she nodds.
I turn back to Mark 'when is Rowan coming?' I ask and he looks shocked.
'How did you-' i cut him off
'Oh please, you have his wife and girlfriend tied up and you are his rival. If this is your master plan then your doomed' i say with as much confidence i can muster, his face turns a shade of red and he charges forward and slaps me.
'Again? Seriously that's the second time today!' I tell him and he gets even more angry.
'Shut up. One more cocky remark from you and i will not wait for Rowan. I will kill you here and now.' He growls.
Inside i am terrified but he can't know that. We wait for a bit and my cheek begins throbbing.

'MARK!' Someone roars.
Rowan.

*Rowan*

I storm into the building.
'MARK!' I scream.
I scan the room, ' 23 men, one woman and Lizzie and VV' i say under my breath.
Mark laughs.
'Ah you took your time' he grins 'take off all your weapons' he orders. When i don't move he grabs Valkyrie by her hair and presses a knife to her throat.
'I said. Take out your weapons.' He growls. Jeremy visibly flinches.
I slowly begin to take out every weapon and stand back up. He throws the girls forward. One of the men places a gun to my head.
Mark begins walking towards me and hands me a gun with one single bullet.
'Only two of you will make it out alive' he says with a grin. My blood runs cold.
I have to kill either Lizzie or VV.
I raise the gun shakily aiming between them both.
'Not Valkyrie! Please! Shoot me! I beg you! Shoot me' Lizzie cries.
'NO RO! SHE'S PREGNANT DON'T' VV screams.
Mark's grin widens and the gun alternates between them. I take a shaky breath.
'ROWAN PLEASE! Lizzie is pregnant. Please'
'Valkyrie' i whisper
'Please'
My breath speeds up and i shakily aim the gun and Valkyrie's heart.
'NO ROWAN. PLEASE SHE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG! YOU LOVE HER!' Lizzie screams
I...i love her.
Lizzie is crying, so is VV.
I need more time.
'Please' i say turning to Mark 'please don't make me do this' my voice breaks.
I lift the gun again this time aiming at the side of my head.
'ROWAN!'
'ROWAN NO!' They scream
'Rowan look at me.' VV says but i close my eyes 'Ro look. At. Me.'
I look at her and her eyes pierce mine with determination, tears streaming from her beautiful brown eyes.
I love her.
'Please Rowan. You know you have to do it. So shoot me okay? It's okay.' She closes her eyes breifly and looks at me one last time.
'It's okay. I love you'
I close my eyes and shoot.
Right through Valkyrie's heart. I hear her body fall and there's silence.
Lizzie was sobbing. Mark was laughing. Jeremy was crying.
Tears slid down my cheeks.
I killed her.
I killed Valkyrie.
