The Royales

Beginning of it all .3

"It will all be okay... I won't leave you again... I will do everything and anything I can to protect you." Gale says to her wife as he desperately tries to obtain her attention.

"Oh how heartwarming it is to see a husband comforting his wife... but just know nothing will be ok... you, give me your gun." says the man as he is given a gun.

     After seeing the gun in the man's hand as he checked the magazine, Gale began to panic and tremble in fear of losing his wife.

"Mr. Anderson, just know that I didn't kill your wife...you did." says the man as he raises the gun to point at Gale's wife.

     At that moment Gale's heart sunk deeper than the ocean, seeing his wife just there unable to run or do anything for that matter shattered him to pieces. Gale wanted to fight and protect his wife but he could do no such thing.

"Don't do this... please!" Gales says desperately trying to stop the man from killing his wife.

Suddenly, Gale's wife began to whisper something to him, the last words his wife said were, "Don't look for me, I love you."

     Gale couldn't believe what his wife told him at that moment but before he could respond, a gunshot rang throughout the house as Gale witnessed his wife's body fall to the floor. Without a moment of thought he tries breaking free from the two men holding him down. With the blazing emotions, he can't help but cry as he yells saying,

"NO, you bastard... NO... I will do anything, just don't... you got what you wanted...please!"

     Shortly after her wife, Gale sees his two children being placed in front of him, standing next to their mother's lifeless body, Gale's rage and emotions break through the barriers like an ocean wave crashing onto the edge of a cliff. Gale tries to and moves to break free but everything he does is futile, all he can do is yell out of disparity saying,

"NO... NO-no-no! NO! No, that's enough! Please... listen to me, damn it! you took my wife! Let me keep my kids! For fuck sake they are just kids! NO! PLEASE... let me keep my kids... what else do you want from me?!"

     Gale begins to sob for a short moment, but only a second later the sound of a gun being raised makes him lose control.

"NO! Please!... you killed my wife!... Not them, I beg you!... you came for me, so fucking shoot me damn it!... Not them... Fucking shoot me, I am right here! SHOOT ME... let them live," Gale sobs once more saying, "They are just kids for fuck sake! They have nothing to do with this... kill me! What are you fucking waiting for!"

"Well, wouldn't that just defeat the purpose of this... I didn't come here to kill you... I came here for more than that... shooting you right now just wouldn't be enough for me..."

"No..." Gale continues sobbing while lowering his view.

The man standing behind Gale's children smiles as he says, "Oh how it is to witness a man beg for death when all hope is lost... the despair in your eyes says it all."

     A gunshot rings once more. Gale shatters to pieces but only worsens as another gunshot roars. Gale sees his children's bodies motionless as they lay next to their mother. No words can describe how Gale feels at that moment. After witnessing the death of his family, he feels nothing but pain, enough pain to end a man in a second.

"Mr. Anderson, you are so pathetic... now because of that, you will be the one to place your family in boxes... Gale... Aderson... remember this day and never forget my words... you are nothing a disgrace of a man, it would even be a compliment to consider you a man... you are a murderer, you killed your wife and kids - remember that for the rest of your life." The man says remorselessly before ordering his men to let him go and leave.
