My Guardian Angel (Liam Payne fanfiction) [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

I watched in horror as Julia's limp body fell forward, blood seeping out of the open wound right where her heart was. The room smelled of blood, and I felt sick looking at the lifeless girl.

I forced my eyes upward to look at a sobbing Kellin. There was no green visible in his once beautiful eyes, only tears, pain, and regret. He was shaking terribly as he got another bullet, obviously meant for me.

All I could think of doing was sitting there and crying, but that wasn't an option anymore. I did the only other thing I could think of: lunge at Kellin. He was obviously caught off gaurd and for some reason didn't fight back when I pinned him down.

"What the hell was that?" I screamed, my hands shaking to where I could barely hold him still. "It was m-meant for y-you! And n-now she's d-dead! T-the only g-girl I l-loved and she's d-dead!" he sobbed, still making no attempt to fight back.

I couldn't help but pity him, just a little bit, but my anger nor my depression subsided. I stole a glance at Julia's body, still unmoving. There was a large blood puddle so visible on the white carpets it made me sick to my stomach to know it was an innocent woman's body. It made me think of Kelli, which made tears gather in my eyes as I looked back down at Kellin.

He was staring helplessly at Julia's body. He reached his arm out towards her and this time I made no move to stop him. I couldn't bring myself to hurt him more than he already was, as idiotic as it sounds.

Suddenly he was on top of me, pinning me down. "She's dead.. B-because of you." he whispered, staring me dead in the face. Why had I let him move? This was my fault. Everything was my fault. Kelli dying? My fault. Julia dying? Most definitely my fault. Liam quite possibly dying? My fault too.

I looked back at Kellin. "Trust me, I know it's my fault. Just kill me, okay? Make it all go away. I'll tell Julia you said you're sorry." I told him this in an emotionless voice. I realized I suddenly felt empty. I was ready for this. I wanted to die so badly at this point I couldn't force myself to be sad or scared.

Kellin bit his lip, loosening his grip on my wrist only slightly but enough to where I could move my fingers. "I can't. He said if it didn't work to bring you to him.." he said blindly, his eyes becoming clouded over. I still wasn't scared, even though I knew 'he' was Daniel.

Something in the back of my mind clicked: I would see Liam again. Even if it was only once, for a split second, before Daniel killed me, I would see him. He would be able to see in my eyes how sorry I was for causing all of this and just how much I loved him. I did love him. I loved him more than anything in the world and nothing would ever change it, despite if I was alive or dead.

"Then let's go. Take me to Daniel." I said suddenly to Kellin, whose gaze snapped back down to me. He had once again been staring at Julia, who by this time was as white as the carpet where the blood wasn't. She had stopped bleeding, as there was no more blood to bleed.

Kellin slowly reached into his pocket, taking out a phone. My phone. I bit my lip as he dialed three numbers: 911. "There's been a murder." he said quietly, hanging up immediately after. He tossed the phone onto the rug by the bed. The police would be tracking that phone and there was no way he was going to take the phone with him.

Roughly, he yanked me up, grabbed the suitcase Julia had been packing for me and we were practically flying to the front door, out of it, and into Kellin's car. He wasn't stupid, he knew we had to get away. And get away fast.

"Where is Daniel?" I asked softly, not trying to upset Kellin any further. The practically evil looking man looked down at a piece of paper he was holding. "The mountains." he said shortly. I raised my eyebrows. Smart move on Daniel's part.

We were driving. And driving. And driving. Two hours had passed before we were pulling into a gas station in what I saw was Rabun County. I sighed as Kellin got out, warning me to stay in the car. I looked out the window at the peaceful looking town. There looked as if there was no crime or no hate here, just people making a living. Why couldn't I have that? What had I done so wrong in another life that this was happening to me at seventeen?

Kellin climbed back in the car with a nervous but determined look on his face. We continued driving up the mountain. We passed several campgrounds as we climbed the mountain higher into more secluded places. As much as I hated to admit it, Daniel was smart for staking out here. No people around for miles and miles.

When we passed a sign that read "Welcome to Tate City", I raised my eyebrows. I had never seen a more bare and deserted looking city. I started getting a little nervous. I knew there was no way I was coming out of here alive.

As we reached a dead end, the sun was setting. Kellin parked the car on the side of the road and opened the door hurridly, almost running to my side of the car to open the door, yanking it open.

Once I was out, without my suitcase, he shoved me forward, aiming the gun at my head as he nodded, saying, "Walk."

We walked for nearly an hour through the woods. It was growing dark by then. I started to shiver because of the cool mountain air. After an hour and fifteen minutes maybe I saw a small cabin with smoke coming out of the chimney. I looked in the window and thanks to the light saw the face that haunted my nightmares. He smiled devilishly at me before disappearing.  He reappeared at the door, opening it.

"Welcome, Christina." Daniel said in the most cold voice I had ever heard.
