Scarlett Blood

Chapter 9:

"So, why do you think I called you here today?" Mr. McCallaster says coldly, a stern expression on his face.
I shrug, pretending not to know.
"You and Cole. It needs to stop."
I glare at him. "No."
He looks at me, making me want to scream.
"Yes you will. I will have both of you thrown out of here before you two can blink."
I chuckle. He thinks that will destroy our love?
"Look, no matter what you do, I will always love Cole-"
"And I will always love her."
A voice says behind me. I could tell it was Cole, just by how the atmosphere changed.
Mr. McCallaster shakes his head.
"Fine."

"The fucking nerve he has to think he could split us up! That asshole!" I screech as we walk into our room.
Cole nods, and sits on the bed.
"What?" I say.
"What if he does throw us out? Almost my entire life is here."
"We will make a new one. Together."
I know it sounds cheesy, but I mean it. I will always love him. Even in the few days we have been together, its the closest I have ever been to someone.
He smiles. "Okay."
I sit on his lap, and confidently kiss him.
Yeah, I definitely love him.
The door suddenly busts open, and men with guns pointed at us barge in.
"Sorry to interrupt your little event here, but I told you," Mr McCallaster smiles evilly. "I would kick you out before it would happen again. So out you go."
Cole stands, still holding me by his side.
"Alright. Let us go."
He shakes his head. "Oh I didn't make myself clear. Scarlett is staying. You however Cole, are leaving. Scarlett will become a test subject here."
My throat is jammed with a scream.
"No. You are not fucking cutting her open!" Cole says angrily. His muscles tense, ready to punch my stupid father in the face.
"Alright. Scarlett, you have a choice. Go with me, undergo tests, or my friend here will shoot you little Romeo. Okay?"
Cole looks down. I don't hesitate when I give my answer.
"Don't kill him. I'll do the tests."
"No." Cole whispers, tears in his eyes.
Mine start to water, as a guy takes my arm, leading me out.
"Cole I love you."
"Scarlett no!" He says as the door closes.
I turn around as I hear multiple gun shots. Oh no.
I burst into the room. My dad, and all the men are lying on the ground. Cole stands before me with a gun, splattered with blood.
He drops it slowly, staring at the bodies.
"Cole..." I walk towards him slowly.
"I just killed them." He says.
I wrap my arms around him.
"We have to run. Now." He says, grabbing my hand. He leads us to the gate, unlocks it with a key I have never seen before, and we dart into the woods.
