Hard Time's

nowhere to run

Horace is distracted you grab the gun pointing it at Cruella you look at Jasper. 'Let her go!' you order. Horace laughs. 'Don't be daft there aren't any bullets in it. It was only to put the frighteners on you.' You test this theory and fire it at the grandfather clock it explodes. Jasper jumps letting go of the Baroness and John grabs her quickly bundling her into his coat. 'You said it wasn't loaded!' Horace is angry at his boss. 'Oh shut up imbecile!' Cruella hisses. 'I didn't sign up for this, I'm out!' Horace runs from the room. Your arms are shaking still holding the gun. 'Get back here you coward!' she follows him out to the door.

John has the baroness in his arms the act isn't romantic or sexual he's trying to keep her safe she's traumatised, and he watches you. Cruella smirks. 'Really? You're going to turn your back on the future we could have for a murderer?' You consider this. 'Give me the gun, no one has to get hurt we could walk out of this,' she holds out her hand. 'Together.' You walk towards her shaking and you think it all through. 'We can finally unveil the truth.' she assures. 'Behind you!' John warns and you turn in time to see Jasper shooting him, he falls.

You turn back to Cruella she rolls her eyes. 'Oh ignore him plenty more where he came from.' This confuses you. 'I thought you loved him?' Cruella purses her lips. 'I did. Until I met you.' You snort. 'Oh, I'm not saying I love you don't be ridiculous. But I can feel it in my soul you are just like me. Look at how well we've done for ourselves given where we started in life. Think how great we could be together.' it sounds like she means it. You uncock the gun and your breathing starts to calm you hand her the gun.

"You were my good friend, I saved you beforeI thought you turned good now but you asked for some moreYou had to provoke me, so I beat youWatched your skull bleed, so now I feel blueYou're gonna die, I'm gonna kill youYou're gonna die, I'm gonna kill youOut of ideas, nowhere to runLooking right down, barrel of a gunAnd so I dream, voices in my headDelusions mock me my best friend is deadYou're gonna die, I'm gonna kill youYou're gonna die, I'm gonna kill you"Cruella smiles looking at it then you. 'I knew you'd see sense.' her smile turns nasty and she cocks the gun pointing it at the Baroness. Before she can fire you shove her hard she goes over the banister but has caught the necklace the baroness gave you. You are drawn over the edge you grip the side of it to stop yourself from being pulled. She looks up at you one hand holds the necklace the other the handgun. 'You're going to regret this!' she spits at you. Your eyes lock the strain is killing your neck. 'I wouldn't count on it!' John and the baroness grab you pull you back and the necklace snaps as Cruella falls through the air. The crowd of Halloween guests all gasped watching this. You fall back onto the floor and close your eyes. 'I'm sorry.' you whisper.
