The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 160~

Kristina's POV
I tried to stop Joanna, but she grabbed her gun and aimed it at me. I quickly sat down on my knees and put my hands in the air.

"He tried to kill me! He should have known about every soul screaming and begging for their lives after messing with me", she said.

"Will you help me stop him before he's doing something stupid? Remember, if he tells the police then you will go to prison too.. I know so much about you, don't make me use these things for my own advantage", she told me.

"Okay, I'll do anything you want", I explained.

"Good, now get in the damn car", she said.

"Tell me his address", she demanded.

I didn't answer. She hit me right in the face for me to tell her what she wanted to know. I bled a little from my nose. I told her the address. When we came to his house, we walked right inside. His parents weren't home. We went upstairs and found his bedroom. The door was locked. He must have seen us coming. Joanna kicked open the door. She aimed the gun at him.

"Sit down slowly and peacefully, don't move", she said.

He sat down and put his hands in the air.

"Please, I'm so sorry", he said.

"Shut up!", Joanna yelled and shot him in the foot.

He screamed. He looked at me terrified.

"Sorry", I whispered.

Joanna tied him to a chair.

"You know.. I actually liked you, I felt you were good for my daughter or.. adoptive daughter. But I think I was wrong. You should know better than messing with Joanna Murphy, and now you're gonna suffer the consequences", she said as she cut a deep cut into his skin and ripped it open.

"Joanna! You're skinning him alive? That is horrible, please stop, I'll do anything!", I yelled.

"Oh you want me to go easy on him? There's no easy way for someone who attempts to murder me", she explained as she cut his fingers off.

"Joanna, you need to calm down, this isn't you!", I told her.

"This isn't me? You're wrong, and you know it", she said.

"Joanna, I know you can be a good person with a good heart if you try", I explained.

Anthony continued to beg.

"If you don't shut the fuck up, then your tongue is next", Joanna warned him.

"Joanna, you can't expect him to shut up, that looks worse than being burned alive", I said.

"Kristina, go! Get out, let me do this alone", she said.

I couldn't listen to Anthony's screams anymore, so I grabbed Joanna's gun shot him.

"Kristina! That's enough!", Joanna said and took the gun from me.

When we came home, Joanna looked pissed at me.

"And now for your punishment.. you're gonna do all the housework for a whole week, and you're not going out of the house without me or Alex keeping an eye on you.. for I don't know how long, maybe forever if you don't start behaving", she told me.

"You tortured him! I'm sorry for having empathy unlike you", I said and went upstairs.
