Criminal

Chapter 38

I couldn't make a word come out of my mouth, it was stuck.

"Har.. Harry," I tried to whisper through my shaking body.

His pupils dilated and we both heard the rifle being set in place. It was right on the back of Harry's neck.

"No," I cried softly and Harry squeezed his eyes shut.

Out stepped Gale, and he had a horrible look on his face.

"Please don't," I shrieked, grabbing the nearest shirt and covering myself.

"Too late for that," Gale spit and I saw the drained look on Harry's face.

Just then the door opened and my father stood there.

"What did I tell you about him?" He asked firmly.

"Don't kill him," I cried and I felt my bones turn to liquid. "I love you," I said to Harry and he opened his eyes a bit.

I swear I saw his lips turn into the word "run."

"Gale, finish up the car is waiting." my father instructed.

"Dad no!"

"He killed too many people," my dad said and I shook my head.

"No he didn't. He was protecting himself!" I defended him. He couldn't die. I just got him back.

"Gale," my father said and he pushed Harry to the ground and punched him hard in the back of the head.

"Noo!!" I screamed in horror. Harry coughed up a little blood and my tears burned my eyes.

"I love you," Harry whispered.

I turned to my dad and I stomped my foot.

"Kill him and I will do much worse," I threatened although I had no idea what I would do.

He laughed, and Gale joined him.

"What's so funny?" I spat.

"Kill him?" Gale laughed.

I felt my body lighten a bit, maybe this was just to scare us.

"We won't kill him," he dad said walking over to me and squeezing my shoulder. "We will torture him," he said and my insides flipped.

"Kill me instead," Harry cried and I shook my head.

"Kill us both."

Gale didn't object.
