Trapped in a mall, with a HOT guy... For FOUR days, over Xmas!?!
*** Recap*** (for anyone who forgot what happened in the latest chapter, if you can)
It had just turned 5 in the afternoon and the cleaners gathered outside the doors ready to begin a long day of cleaning before the mall opened again. Little did they know of the scene just on the other side of the shutters.
Jerry Norton, a grieving father and husband pointed a gun at a petrified Ash Turner. While Rachael Davis was running to protect Ash with an intention of pushing him out of harm's way and leading him somewhere safe.
Clank clank BANG clank clank clank
The sound of the shutters opening and a gunshot echoed throughout the entire mall.
Chapter 23
Ash's POV
I didn't see it coming!
One minute I was reasoning with the guy and the next, Rachael was in front of me just as some clanking began and there was a loud BANG...
And then Rachael fell backwards into my arms...
I saw the culprit drop the gun out of the top of my eye, but I was focused solemnly on Rachael. Her eyes shut, her beautiful face draining of colour- but more importantly all the blood gushing out of the gunshot wound... directly over her heart.
SHE'S NOT DEAD! SHE CAN'T BE!
Tears filled my eyes as my heart broke into a million pieces, it hurt like a bitch, so this is what heartbreak felt like I thought as I cradled Rachael's lifeless body in my arms. Blood soaking my shirt sticking it to my body, but I didn't care, all that was important to me right now was holding Rachael close to me and never letting go.
Everything else was lost, I had blocked it all out, it wasn't important all that was important was me and Rachael... and it always will be- no matter what. I couldn't believe she's gone, we only just got together... actually we never officially got together since I never asked her out. Hell I never even told her how much I loved her! And now it's too late, what the hell was I doing?
I pressed Rachael's lifeless body further into me as I uncontrollably sobbed into her neck...
Rachael's POV
I was running towards Ash... then everything went black, I felt empty.
The next thing I knew I was literally being dragged away, but nothing like I ever have before. It was like n invisible force pulling me by every millimetre of my body... but I didn't want to go, I was happy here with Ash. I finally got my life somewhat good and I didn't want to just let it all go! I couldn't!
I started to resist the force pulling against me but the more I resist the stronger it got. It wasn't going to give up... and neither was I. I clung on for dear sweet life and let me tell you it was hard, it started to hurt. It felt like I had been put on one of those things that stretches you and makes you taller, though it was making me fatter instead.
As each second ticked by the pain increased, and oh my god it hurt! However I still refused to give up, I will not give up, no matter what! I will fight to the end even if it kills me! <The irony :P
I held on, even with pain so bad it could kill, until eventually we stretched the spring to its limit and we both sprang away fast. I tumbled on the floor hard, yet I didn't feel a thing... weird.
Then I looked up at the scene in front of me... I couldn't believe my eyes!
Three dudes in cleaner's outfits were wrestling the grieving psycho dude to the floor, while one other was trying to pull Ash away, but more importantly was that I WAS IN HIS ARMS!?!
B-b-but I-I'm here... and I'm there. What the hell?
Then the cleaner dude managed to pull Ash far enough away for me to get a glimpse of me before Ash sprang back and covered me again. I was as pale as a ghost and had a gunshot wound... directly over my heart. I understood now.
I was dead- that were the force pulling on me, and I restrained it refusing to go to the afterlife and I won but I couldn't go back to my body since I was shot in the heart. So now I'm stuck in the middle of life and death...
