You opened your apartment door, turning on the lights to see better inside.

"Xiao!" You called, and when there was no response, you figured he was probably already in the penthouse. You weren't far from the penthouse, only a floor below it.

"I need a drink." You breathed out, throat and mouth absolutely parched. You hadn't drank anything since early in the morning, your only drink being the energy drinks to keep you awake while you were driving.

Walking into the kitchen, you turned on the light, but the moment just the smallest bit of light was illuminated, the last thing you expected was to feel cold hands on your forearms and you were pushed to the ground with a yell, the bags around your arms falling to the ground beside you.

Gasping, you turned onto your back, only for the fears to come right back.

"What the fuck Heizou?!" You yelled, immediately standing back up, and this time you were serious about punching him- which you did, right onto his cheek. You mentally blamed yourself for not hitting the nose, ugh!

He went stumbling back, his hand right over his mouth.

"How did you even get in?!" You yelled, but he didn't answer, recovering quickly and making his way to you quickly.

He was too fast for you to react in time as he quickly threw you into the wall, the glass portraits falling off the wall and smashing onto the ground.

From the pain and where you were hit, tears started to stream down your cheeks, feeling absolutely defenceless against someone who was literally almost shorter than you.

That's actually pitiful.

"Bitch," He spat, and you tried to hold yourself up, leaning against the wall with your hand clutching over your stomach. "You think you're cute huh? Well guess what, no one's here to fucking protect you."

You put your arm up, feeling the counter beside you and grabbed whatever you could feel- a knife, but Heizou was faster and he grabbed your wrist, forcing it onto the wall with so much force you let out a yell of pain and you dropped the knife, his shoe kicking it to the other side of the kitchen.

However, the proximity gave you the chance to raise your feet, kicking him in the stomach and sending him stumbling back.

With this chance, you frantically looked around, desperate for anything to use against him.

And the first thing your eyes landed on was Alhaitham's bag.

You were going to debate on it, but with the amount of time you had and how quickly Heizou was able recover, you reached over to the bag with shaky hands, and nothing went through your mind as you rummaged through and grabbed the gun.

He froze when he saw it, but something in you snapped as you switched the safety to off, and as if it was automatic- as if it was the most normal thing ever, you did the craziest thing you could do.

You pulled the trigger.

After seeing Heizou's face, you realized what you did.
