“Hedrick! Hedrick hel-” Ellie was cut off by the youngest man's hand. At this point Hedrick did not know what to do. Should he fight them off like they do in the movies? Or just give up what these strange men want. Perhaps money, as usual.
The old man came up to Hedrick, his eyes wore an expression of aggression and revenge. The man lets out a barbaric laughter towards the sound of Ellie struggling to get out of the young man's arms. That made Hedrick sore.
“Alright pretty boy, let's play a game shall we?” The man finally spoke. Hedrick paralyzed at what the man called him.
Nevertheless, Hedrick gritted his teeth “Hell no you liste-” just about to start a chaos with these two men the older man holds up a hand stopping him.
“Nope son, wouldn't do that if I were ya,” The man warned. “One little step towards me and I will tell Chad over there to blow up your precious girlfriend's head off.”
Not given a damn of what the man has just say Hedrick steps forward and charges towards the older man. Right there the man pulls put his gun from his back pocket and aims at Hedrick. But was too slow for him, as Hedrick tackles the man to the cold snowy ground. Lifting up a fist to punch the life out of the man he hears Ellie scream out his name from far away.
As he looks around to seek where she was. He saw her being forced inside by the young man named Chad, in a baby blue van. Hedrick tried to run after her but was pushed down by the old man. Now Hedrick was the one on the ground. The man chuckles darkly and takes out a sharp knife. Mocking Hedrick by tracing the pecks of trails of birthmarks Hedrick had on his face.
“Awh, is pretty boy worried about his love?” Mocked the old man. Hedrick tried to get up but was blocked by the weight of the man and pinned down from his arms. Hedrick curses at the man as response and spits at the man's face.
Disgusted the man now scrapes Hedrick's neck and face. Leaving a trail of dark red blood. Hedrick yelps in pain as the man laughs at his success. Hedrick could have gave up right here and now. He was not able to save his love. Hedrick very well knew that.
As the man kept on scraping skin off Hedrick's neck he saw above the sky an illumination. He saw Ellie's lovely bright smile she always wore just for him. Her smile is why he has fallen in love with her. He vowed to always take care of her no matter what. No matter what... With those words Hedrick grabbed the man's hand which held the knife and threw it off. Causing the man look for his knife. Hedrick took this time to punch the man right under the jaw, making the man fall back and unconscious. Hedrick now, rumbles through the man's jacket and found another gun. Not caring of his scraped neck, he ran towards Ellie and Chad. Surprisingly enough they were still there. Ellie frightened and scared looked towards her love. Hope glittering through her eyes. Chad noticed Hedrick's presence and faces him, throwing Ellie a side.
But soon enough Chad realized he was short on bullets for his gun, as he clicked it many times. Hedrick laughs at the young man's foolishness and points the gun towards Chad.
Without even thinking it twice Hedrick releases the trigger and shoots. But like on cue Chad throws Ellie, whom was on the floor, in front of himself. The bullet which was thrown hit her right in her chest. At that moment Hedrick saw the life blown away from Ellie through her green eyes.
“NOOOO!” Screamed Hedrick as he ran towards Ellie's lifeless body and the young man. Filled with plain anger Hedrick throws a bullet to the young man, who just stayed in place. And another, and another. He did not stop until all the bullets from the gun were gone. Every last one. Still filled with anger Hedrick kicks the man's dead body and curses. So occupied in his anger he forgot of Ellie. The real reason why he was with wrath. Hedrick's emotions cooled down and felt a pain that could not be explained. Grabbing a hold of Ellie's body a puddle of blood within the clear snow ground was seen.
Chocking on his breath he pulled her lifeless body close to him, not caring of the blood that laid on her would stain his clothes. Trying not to cry he smells her presence that was once there. Smelling the aroma of vanilla and mint combined. Caressing her wavy brown hair trailing downwards towards her face and lips. Her pink soft lips. Now not holding back the tears anymore he kisses her soft lips gently almost as if he has not touched her. Leaving a trail of tears within her face. Hedrick hated himself. For not keeping his promise of protecting Ellie. Hedrick looked up at the sky as he saw a soft gentle snow flake fall on top of Ellie's hair.
“I will always love wintertime..and I will also love you too Hedrick” Hedrick reminds himself of Ellie's daily words in wintertime.
