Chapter 26

*Gun shot*

It all happened so fast, my brain couldn't keep up; everything was in slow motion. The unbearable noise rang in my ears. Everyone around scattered while some stayed behind in complete shock like me. I didn't know what to do. I didn't move. I wanted to move, but somehow, I couldn't. I just stayed there, watching the shocked body fall to the ground slowly and the life slowly leave the small body.

She was gone.

She left us.

She died.

Emila died.

Everything suddenly went back to normal speed. There, on the ground, was Emilia's lifeless body due to a bullet to the head and blood started to flow to the surface of her head. Immediately, I jumped off of Signe's back and went to the girl. I was speechless when I looked at her face. Blood everywhere, her eyes wide open in shock, her mouth shaped as a oval and her skin slowly turning pale. She didn't know what was coming for her. A young, lively, joyful girl had her life taken away from her so soon. That's all that came to mind when I saw Emilia like this.

"E-Emilia?!" I said in terror. Of course, there was no response. She was really gone. I pinched myself to see if it was a dream. Unfortunately, I was wide awake. Then, tears and tears started to fall. Sobs after sobs left my mouth as the tragic death was all that was on my mind. "EMILIA!!!" I cried. Why did such thing have affect her? Why was she that was targeted? I could have galdy taken that bullet for her. But, in this fucked up world, you don't have the choice to die or live. It's all based luck. Looking up to see if anyone was around anymore, only the closest people stayed. Including the victim's brother. He looked like he was broken into a billion pieces. Hot tears streaming down his face as he looked down at the dead bodie. He came up closer to the body and covered his mouth with in disbelief.

"No....not you....not Emilia..." He said. He wasn't crying like me. He was just letting the accident eat him up. Which he shouldn't do. All he could do is close her opened eyes. "Why? Why did you do this?! SHOW YOURSELF, YOU MONSTER!!!" Jack yelled out to the darkness.

"Come on Sean. Don't do that." I said, trying to calm his nerves.

"NO!! I-I have to find this murderer!" He repiled, getting back up on his feet, looking on top of the buildings to find anything suspicious.

"Sean, get down from there. That's not how you're gonna find the murderer." I said. He sighed and jumped off the short buliding. "What you can do is help me bring the body to the castle." He picked up the corpse and followed me to the castle while I wiped my tear filled face. Of course, this was a planned murder and Emilia was obviously the target, but why? Why kill a girl like her, who still had a long life to live unlike me, who's life is already beyond saving? She shouldn't have been the one to suffer. Once at the gates of the castle, I looked back at Jack and he nodded, telling me he was ready to enter. I opened the doors and entered, instantly being surrounded by Dan, Phil, Felix and Amy. And he was missing because why not?

"(Y/N), I heard a loud bang. Is everything alright?" Dan asked. Almost breaking into tears again, I pointed to Jack behind me. Then, it was all silent. Amy covered her mouth in shock and Dan and Phil went up closer to Jack to inspect.

"Is...Is this Em-Emilia?" Phil questioned.

"Sadly." I repiled.

"Holy shit. What the hell happend?" Dan added.

"You know that loud bang you heard, that was a bullet going through my baby's h-head."

"How? Why?"

"I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders. "Anyways, I just want to get her cleaned up and in a casket before anything." I said, walking into the castle and to the dining room. Jack placed Emilia's body on the table and I went to go get a wet cloth and wipe away the blood. "Get a doctor." I said.

"Got it." Dan said and ran outside to fetch a doctor. A few minutes went by and the doctor came into the room.

"What do we have here?"

"A dead ten year old..." I said. "Look, I'm not here to make jokes. I want you take out the bullet from her head and stich her back up. You can leave when you're done." The doctor nodded and started to get to work with the scalpel and twisters he had in his pockets. While all that was happening, I went upstairs to have a nice conversation with a certain individual. When I got up to the room, I found him, sprawled out on his bed, in a deep slumber. Doing only the logical thing to do, I took a near by cup with water and splashed it on the man. Instantly, he jumped up from his sleep and wiped his face. He looked at me.

"W-why did you-" I stopped him.

"Dont give me that bullshit. Do you understand the pain I've been through?" I said. "I bet you don't even know where I was half of the day."

"What, no. (Y/N)-"

"No. Why don't you listen to me for a second. Do you know what I just went through this passed hour? Do you know what shit I was in for an hour? Do you know how many sobs came out of my mouth this passed hour?! I've been through so muCH AND YOU WEREN'T THERE TO SHOW AT LEAST SOME KIND OF SUPPORT?!"

"Wait, what happened?" He asked. Sighing, I took a seat on the side of the bed where he was.

"You know this small girl, Emilia, right? The one who kept telling you she was ten year old?"

"Yeah, what about her?"

"She got shot." I said and once those three words left my mouth, he was in complete shock. "She was snipped in the passed hour and well, the body is downstairs. A doctor is trying to remove the bullet from the head. And well..."

"O-oh. I'm sorry (Y/N)." He gave his worthless apology.

"Why? You were asleep when the damn accident happened." I said. "And Amy, Felix and Dan and Phil, who were on the other side of the house heard the loud bang. How could you sleep though it?"

"I-I...I don't know." I pinched the bridge of my nose in disappointment.

"Of course you don't know." I said. "When will I be important in your life Mark? I'm your girlfriend for Christ's sake and you always push me to the side. One of my closest family members just died and it looks like you don't even-" He stopped my train of thought by giving me a big hug. At first, I was stunned, but then relaxed.

"Shh. I know. I know. I'm sorry I've been a bad partner, I'm just....I'm just in a bunch of work and I wanted to just clear that from my face. Trust me, I care soo much for you and I'm really sorry that Emilia isn't here anymore." He said and looked down at me. I looked up at him before placing my head back on his chest again.

"It's good to know you care." I said.
