"Pull your knife out of my back

Your blood runs black

I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast"-Alec Benjamin

🗡🗡

I look up from the shiny metal that's glinting in the sunlight, to attach the arm to a the face holding the gun. My eyes narrow. "What the hell is this?" I scoff.

"We have to do this Bella," Jenna tells me quietly.

I stare at the gun in her hand in disbelief. "Do what?" My voice raises. The sound of my raised voice summons everyone from inside. My group along with Meranda walk outside to witness the source of the noise. My group looks at the sight before them with shock and confusion. Standing before me were the people I ran away from when I was sixteen.

Jenna the one that gave birth to me was holding a gun aimed right at my chest. Standing next to the devil herself was Ryan, behind him like bodyguards were Dickson and John. What made my blood boil even more was the fact Hope, the little girl who tried to kill herself minutes prior, was being held captive by John. He had her arms behind her back making sure she couldn't get away, but that didn't stop the blonde girl from trying. She was screaming to be let go. She was trying her hardest to get out of his grip. I silently shake my hand at her, trying to convey the silent message that if she continues she'll get herself hurt. She of course didnt take my advice. I move my eyes away from them back to the woman holding the gun.

"I have to save the world." Jenna states. I look at her like shes crazy.

"What the hell are you talking about women?" Miguel nudges me with his shoulder, telling me to be quiet. Meranda walks away from my group to the edge of the property watching the scene play out.

"You watched everything happen." I look at her confused. She sighs and continues, "you were there when the dead started walking." Look of realization dawns on me. "If I kill you then everything will go back to normal."

"That's not how it works!" I yell at her.

"Yes it is." She looks at me with cold nonchalante. "I alway knew you had the devil within you. Its time for the devil to go back to where it came from." I clench my jaw. "If I kill you I will save everyone."

I whip my face clean of all emotions. "You would really kill your own daughter with a psycho womens story like that?" I ask incredulously.

"It's for the best Bella." Jenna cocks the gun.

I push my shoulders back staring definently at the pistol. "You're crazy." The next thing i know is a gun shot sounds and im being pushed out of the way. I fall to the ground, scrapping my arms in the process. I look to Miguel and see him stumble back. Blood seeping from a wound on his chest.

I gasp.

I catch Miguel before he falls to the ground. "Miguel..." I whisper in shock. All his weight goes onto my chest and arms making me stumble back slightly. I gently lower the both of us to the ground. "Stay with me, stay with me." I desperately cry as I put pressure on his wound. He gasps in pain. I flinch at the sound of his pain. He puts his hand over mine, trying to calm me down. Silent tears start to flow down my face.

He has always been here for me when im in pain and now im the one thats causing his pain.

Miguel gasps again. His breathing is becoming more labored with each breath he's trying to take. "You cant leave me." I hug his body closer to me, willing everything in the universe not to take this man from me. I swallow the sobs that are threatening to burst from my chest.

"Danielle!" I scream.

"Danielle! I need your help!" Danielle comes rushing over. She checks him over only to shake her head at me with tears in her eyes. I openly let the tears fall from my eyes giving up on keeping them a secret. Miguel, noticing my tears, smiles sadly at me, reaching up to wipe my tears away from face with a shaky hand. Blood starts forming on his lips.

"My last wish, be happy. Be happy without me." Miguel whispers. I take one hand off his chest and caress his face, leaving a smear of blood.

"No, no you can't leave me alone, not like this. Please, please don't go!" My voice cracks as I express my pleads.

"Miguel, please i need you. Don't go. Don't leave me too."

No no no.

This can't be happening.

"I love you," His voice gets choked as blood starts to run down his chin. "It was worth it if i get to love you each and everytime." A sob escapes my mouth. I try one last attempt to hold back my tears to no avail. Miguel starts gasping. His hold on my hand becoming less firm as the seconds tick by. "Smile for me one last time." He gasps quietly.

I give him a watery smile as tears run down my cheeks. He smiles lightly. "You're the girl..." he chokes a little, "of my dreams." Tears start to stream faster down my face. I try to stop them but i can't. I dont want him to see me crying in his final moments.

"You're everything to me Miguel. Please, please, please, dont go!" I cry desperately.

Miguel gasps before his dark hand goes limp over mine. The light that is always in his eyes goes out making the dark color go dim.

I release a sob. My vision gets blurred as tears over power my senses. My face falls onto Miguels body. "Miguel no, no, no, no!" I scream into his shoulder.

"It should have been me!" I cry.

Danielle puts her hand on my shoulder. "Don't touch me!" I scream flinching away from her touch. I put both of my hands on Miguels cheeks leaving bloody hand prints in their wake. I put my lips to his for one final kiss, tasting the horrible metallic blood. "I love you so much." I tell him for the last time. My jaw clenches.

I will never get to say i love you to this man ever again. I angrily wipe my tears away before laying his head gently on the ground. My vision turns red as the need for revenge fills every fiber of my being.

Anger surges through my veins making me grab one of Miguels knives and throw it as hard as i can. The knife lodges itself between the eyes of my sperm donor. His eyes are wide as he falls to the ground, dead. Jenna gasps before shooting the gun in her hand again. The bullet makes its way into my shoulder.

I gasp as a burning pain over takes my shoulder. I grab another knife from his belt and aim for another one of my family members. The knife makes its way into John's sternum, making him release the strong hold he had on my little sister. The child predator falls to the ground gagging on his own blood. Hope rushes over to Cora. Cora envelops the younger girl into a tight embrace. As i release another knife from its holster on Miguels body I notice Meranda start to run away. I dont give her a second glance as i slowly stood up from my spot on the ground.

"You just murdered my husband." I look at Jenna venomously.

Jenna glances down at the ground where Ryans blood soaked her shoes. "And you murdered mine." Jenna points the gun again and shoots. This time i managed to dodge out of the way. Dickson starts rushing towards me. I stab his throat when he tries to hit me. Blood splatters from the stab making blood go across my face. I take the knife from Dicksons body and make my way to the woman who made my life hell.

Jenna points the gun again, she pulls the trigger only to come back with a click. She tries again only to get the same result.

She inhales sharply.

I thrust my knife into her chest. She gasps with a swallow. She looks at me with wide eyes. "This is for everything you put me through." I thrust the knife deep. The gun falls to the ground as she breaths her final breath. I drop her body to the ground. Tears fill my eyes once again.

The sound of intakes of breath from my group causes me to look away from my dead mother. I look at them only to see them looking at something passed me.

I turn around and a cry leaves my mouth.
