Vendetta

i looked around the room when i saw finn. he seemed to be looking for someone. I walked up to him and saw how afraid he was. I walked with him in a room and brought him water.
I could only see fear in his face. We sat down and I asked him calming:
"finn, did something happen? Are you alright?"
"dahlia, I...." he looked away.
"Finn, I can't help you if you don't talk."
"i saw something... " he whispered.
"and what did you saw, buddy."
"I followed Thomas to the yard. I wanted to see what he was doing. And then I saw something in the yard. i saw someone  there and he didnt belong to us or small heath.
they seemed odd to me, so I followed them. They were hiding. I heard what they said...they said that they want tommy and that they want to kill him."
I needed a pause to think. "Finn,...
Where are your brothers?"
"I don't know. I couldn't find them anywhere."
"Finn, You need to stay here. You need to find your brothers, tell them what you saw"
"But what about you ?"
"Dont worry about me."
"Just promise, that you stay here. promise?"
"Promise."
"I will go find Thomas. Don't worry Finn. Everything will be alright."
"Dahlia. will you be alright?"
"I will always be alright." I ruffled his hair.

I made my way out. I walked to our stables and took Miracle out of her box. It became dark and it was raining.
Oh lord, I hoped he was alright. Without a plan, I rode to the yard.

I jumped down from the horse and quietly crept to the steel. I left miracle there and crept with a lamp quietly through the yard. when i heard Thomas next to the boats. I hide between the boxes.
"What do you want?"
"we want to avenge the death of angel.
we want to see you dead."
I listened and didn't realized that somebody found me, when someone grabbed my shoulder.
"what do we have here" the man pushed me forward to the canal.
I met Thomas Gaze.
"let her go. She has nothing to do with that" the man who stayed next to Thomas, ignored his words and talked:
"So is that your beloved wife? It would have been a beautiful weeding day if you didn't kill my father and my brother.
"What?" I asked confused.
"She doesn't know. Let her go" Thomas stated out.
"Then let me introduce myself. I'm Luca Changretta. Your lovely husband killed my father and my brother and now I'm here for my vendetta."
"I said, let her go. You want me, not her."
"Maybe, it's better if I kill her instead of you. why shouldn't i take her away from you?" the other man pulled me in front of the channel.
"you fucking bastard, you should fucking let her go.»
"Oh, I could see it in your eyes. You don't want to lose her. What a pity."
I wanted to run to Thomas but the other man hold my arm.
Changretta pulled his gun out and pointed it right at me.
"I know miss Changretta and mister Changretta. They always came to my flowershop. I'm really sorry for your lose but please can't we talk about this. You don't need to do this" I said hopefully.
"It's to late, mrs. Shelby."
Thomas wanted to come towards me.
"One step more and the bullet is in her head."
He stopped. I could see fear in Thomas eyes.
I tried to twist my arm out of the grip, but he didn't let me go.

Suddenly I could her a shouting and then everything went so fast.
Thomas ran to Changretta, but it was to late, he already pulled the trigger. The bullet hit me.
I staggered backwards And fell.
I fell into the deep canal water.

The only thing I could see was the frightened facial expression of Thomas. The cold water devoured me and everything went black...
