Her Brother's Best Friend

56

Anastasia screams bloody murder and quickly catches him in her arms."No, no, no." Was all she could say. She falls to the floor, holding him tightly to her."Michael, look at me." She cries."P-Please, baby, look at me."

"I-I'm alr-right, Anastasia." Michael stammers wearily, staring up into her crying eyes.

When his eyes roll to the back of his head, Anastasia not only felt her heart shatter...but disappear into thin air.

"Fuck, man." Aaron mumbles, placing a hand over his face.

Meanwhile in Michael's head, flashbacks played in his mind from the greatest memories he's shared with the two people he loved and adored the most. His soulmate and daughter.
He was smiling with joy, running around Neverland, chasing Anastasia and Ariel, until it went complete darkness.

Kemal quickly shoots Damon in his kneecap which makes him immediately fall to the floor and scream out in pain."Kemal, what the fuck man?!"

Damon tries to aim his gun at Kemal, but Kemal quickly reacts and shoots him in his chest.

Damon lies helplessly on the floor and Kemal picks up his gun. He throws it to Aaron before pointing his gun at Lisa."Give Aaron your gun!" Kemal commands but Lisa just stands there, staring down at Michael in complete shock. He presses the gun to her temple."Bitch, I swear to God I will kill you."

Lisa obeys and hands her gun over to Aaron.

Anastasia starts to shake all over. Feeling fury take over her. She kisses Michael's forehead before slowly laying his head down on the floor.

She stands up from the floor just as Kemal talks into his phone, ordering an ambulance.

"The police and ambulance are on their way." He informed Anastasia who was staring at Lisa."Anastasia, you need to stay by Michael's side. He needs you right now."

All Anastasia could hear was 'kill her' over and over in her head. Anastasia snatches the gun out of Kemal's hand and points it at Lisa. Just as she pulls the trigger, Kemal pushes her arm down, making her miss Lisa and shoot the floor.

"Anastasia, you can't kill her." Kemal said softly.

"Watch me." Anastasia said with no emotion and chased after Lisa who made a run for it.

They called after her but she ignored them and followed Lisa up the stairs. She goes into a room and tries to close the door but Anastasia bursts through like a bull. The door hits Lisa hard in her face and sends her flying back.

"You know what?" Anastasia said, dropping the gun and locking the room door."I rather beat your ass to death." She motions for Lisa to come to her."Come get it, bitch."

Lisa glared at Anastasia before standing up from the ground and running up to her.

Anastasia kicks Lisa in her stomach then pulls her fist back and throws it into her face.

Lisa falls to the floor and Anastasia grabs a fistful of her hair, yanks her head back, then sends multiple punches to her face.

She backs away from her then screams."Get up bitch! I'm not done!"

Lisa groans in pain and struggles to stand up.

While the fight was going on, Kemal was banging on the other side of the door, yelling Anastasia's name and begging her not to kill Lisa.

But it was too late, her mind was set on it. There was no going back.

When Lisa attempts to run up to Anastasia again, Anastasia elbows her in the nose then sends a few more hard blows to her face. Again, Lisa falls to the floor, crying for help.

"Shut up, bitch!" Anastasia snapped."No one's gonna help your sorry ass."

Lisa turns over on her stomach and starts to crawl to the door. Anastasia picks up the gun then kicks her in her side."Turn over and look at me ho!"

Lisa stays still and Anastasia kicks her hard again."I said look at me!"

Lisa finally obeys and turns over and looks up at her through one swollen eye. Anastasia climbs on top of her then wraps her arms around her neck and starts to choke her with all her might.

"Police! Open up!" The policemen hollered on the other side of the door.

Anastasia ignores them, picking up the gun, she points it down at Lisa's face.

The door bursts open and they point their guns at her.

"Hold your fire!" One officer commands to the other officers behind him. He takes a step towards Anastasia."Anastasia, you don't want to do this."

"I do, I really do." Anastasia responds, putting her finger on the trigger.

"If you go through with this, you'll be facing serious consequences."

"I don't give a fuck!" Anastasia snapped."Sh-She killed Michael. She killed my everything. I lost my everything."

"Anastasia, you can't do this. You can't kill Lisa." Kemal said."Think about Ariel, she already lost her father, do you really want her to lose her mother too?"

Tears start to roll down Anastasia's cheeks."My baby lost her father."

Kemal slowly walks over to her and reaches for the gun."Give me the gun."

She drops the gun and falls into Kemal's arms and starts to cry.

Two officers help a beaten Lisa up before slapping handcuffs on her.

Kemal walks Anastasia downstairs and she nearly has a heart attack when she finds a white sheet covering a lifeless body.

The question is, who is it?
