Love Bunny

Chapter 19: Wanted?

I screamed and put my arms on the top of my head crouching down, mortified to the very core. What in the world is happening? Why in the actual fuck am I hearing what I'm supposed to hear in the action movies instead?

Carter frantically looks around, then looked at something, his eyes widening as if what he just witnessed is threatening. He grabs my upper arm and nods his head to the Ferris wheel, "Come with me!" he yells and harshly pulls me to the entrance of the Ferris wheel. I tried to stop him and pull away, but he didn't leave my arm.

"Why are we getting in there?? What the hell is the point unless aiming ourselves for them to shoot at us?!" I shouted at the back of his head, but no, his ears are stuffed with cotton, hardly listening to me.

The person who controls the Ferris wheel is hidden under the controller with his hands on top of his head, scared for his dear life. Carter pulled him up with his collar and held him tight with one hand, "We are riding up, do not make it stop."

The man nodded his head without hesitation and touched a couple of buttons, making the Ferris wheel work again. Carter pulled me and got inside one of the bright red carts. He closed it behind us and sat, I followed suit. I looked at him when he took out something from his back pocket.

A... gun.

And me, being the courageous girl I am, almost got on my knees and started to beg him, "Carter, please. I don't know what I did to you, but I am so fucking sorry, okay? No, wait.... you know what, I'm not sorry. I don't care what I did, you can kill me, but if you and your group hurt any of those people, wait, have you ever thought of Abigail??"

"Oh my fuck love bunny! I never tried to do anything! The fucking main reason to bring you here was that I just wanted to spend some time with you! Sorry to manipulate your friend for this but I needed it!" he yelled in frustration. Oh...

"But what about..." I asked lowly, but he interrupted me again.

"I do not fucking know! I already told you what I planned on doing. And do not worry, Cole and Xavier will surely take out the people and put them in a safe place, they know what to do." he said, "And this gun is to protect us. I chose for us to be in the Ferris wheel so I can shoot those,"

"No! That's worse! Why would you kill them?" I said hastily. He took in a deep breath and blew it out. "Listen, will you? I will just try to disarm them, maybe shoot, but no, not kill," he said and leaned up to peer from the door of the cart. He slowly aimed his gun somewhere down there, then shot. A yelp almost escaped my lips as I pull myself together. I can't do this, oh no, I can't.

"One down, they are like ten or something," he says as the Ferris wheel stopped suddenly and completely. Carter told the guy to not make it stop, so, did the guys there make it to....? My blood drained from my body when I heard the banging and clanging of metals from the bottom of it. Then in a swift motion, the whole thing moved, but not in its usual circle, it was back and forth. I wanted to scream and look down so I can get a clear image of what the fuck is going on, but my whole body felt numb. Why did we come here? Where are Jenny and Harris? Are they fine? Will we even survive from this?

"Carter," I whispered. He moved up again and shot some of them or none at all. "Fuck, those guys are psychos. They were trying to unscrew this." Wha...? They, the guys wanted to unscrew the whole damn Ferris wheel...?

"Carter," I whispered again, this time sticking my hand to reach and lightly tug at his shirt. I'm too terrified to even move.

He turned his head to me, and when he realized how I am about to freak out, he lightly wrapped his huge arm around me, "Hey, hey, it is okay. I will protect you, love bunny. I know these people, do you remember those drug dealers that you met a few weeks ago?" he asked.
