Someone To Stay [bxb]

Chapter 59

_____    NATHANIEL    _____

" I have been waiting ." A familiar rough voice says the minute Lucas and I lock the front door behind us .

I pull Lucas behind me as I try to get my eyes to adjust through the dark.  " Oh don't be afraid, I won't hurt anyone unless you give me what I want ."Tyron chuckles loudly, his booming voice filling the room .

After the call with James, I thought immediately coming home would beat Tyron's plans but we unfortunately fell right into his trap , and I have never been scared of Lucas' life until now . It's him he wants after all,  and if that's the case, I'm going to fight until death if I have to. 

" Where's my son?" Lucas half yells behind with a shaky voice.  That earns a small chuckle from Tyron then a sigh .

" Only if Wylder told me where he hid him, I wouldn't have killed him . " Tyron says. Blood drains from my face in a heartbeat .

" You killed Wylder?" I ask in horror . Wanting to be sure what I'm hearing is correct .

" Of course I did, anyone who gets in my way dies!" He swiftly switches on the lights and behold, right at the bottom of the stairs, Tyron stood, holding a gun and wearing all black . His hair is perfectly trimmed as ever . One thing that makes chills run down my neck is , his wide creepy smile.  It's like a whole old Tyron I once knew has been possessed.

" It's good to finally see you again Nathan, I bet you missed me and ..." He tries to peek behind me but Lucas just shrinks while holding on to my jacket " Seems like Lucas didn't miss me.  I knew I should have skipped to the good part and made you mine ." Tyron says , his smile is not even wavering .

" Just so you know, the police are on their way!. " I spit out . That's half the truth, of course James's men are on their way but I'm not about to tell Tyron that. 

" Why don't you step away from Lucas then? That will save me the energy of shooting you like I did with Wylder. " He responds to me indifferently.

" No!" I state " Shoot me! You would have to get over me in order to get to Lucas, even if it means shooting at me ."

" Well then, switch yourself!" Tyron raises his gun towards me . I turn around so I could shield the trembling Lucas in my arms  .

" You need to run!" I whisper to him with a harsh voice. 

" No i-- he will hurt you!" Lucas holds on to me tightly and I could see how frightened he is at the moment.

" I want you safe Lucas, I want you to run out of the front door . " I cup his cold red cheeks , wiping his silent tears with my thumb " You are going to run out of that door and don't even think of looking back, do you understand me?" I murmur lowly with urgency .

He quickly nods when he realises that there's no getting out of here.  He has to do what I say, or we are doomed . " If I die now, I want to know that you are safe ." I perk his lips, squeezing the key of the front door in his hand .

" Are you two done whispering? I don't have the whole day!" Tyro yells across the room .

I nod to Lucas then like that, I lurch towards Tyron , screaming wildly . Ready to tear him down if I get my hands on him . He aims the gun at me, his creepy smile replaced by a grin I wouldn't call warm . And when I'm so close, so close to yanking him off the stairs, a loud shot is heard then it is followed by a deafening silence. At the moment, all I can think about is how this is the end for me . I stumble back in defeat, my eyes travel down my body  in hopes of seeing something, blood coming out of a wound . Anything! Terror stab my heart when realisation hits me.
