Jefflyn - Love Is A Strong Word

Chapter Eighteen

This book is coming closer and closer to an end! I think I might have the ending chapter somewhere between Chapter Twenty to possibly Chapter Thirty.

Question for this chapter: Who is your favorite character so far?

Enjoy!

Gold's POV

I open my eyes drowsily, feeling nauseated. The men around me are asleep, one of them covered in blood. And I look down at my hands, the chains are gone. I find myself smiling, until I remember what they said while injecting me with some liquid.

"Say goodbye to being part dragon... Sir Destrey."

I try to transform, but am unable to. Did they take the only thing away from me that made me unique? Now's not the time to be asking questions, I think. I need to go find Jessie and Joslyn. I run up the stairs, seeing Joslyn and Jessie talking to each other.

They both beam when they see me. "Thank goodness. I thought we'd have to leave you behind." Jessie says, winking at me. I find myself laughing, and we escape pretty easily from the eerily silent house.

Jeffory's POV

The word distraction quickly snaps at my attention and I look up seeing The Demon Warlock's son standing before me. He has one gun pointed at Aaron, and an orange-haired woman stands with her eyes squinted and fists clenched.

Well, I guess this wasn't a suicide mission after all. With the other gun the white haired man has in his hand, he directs me to stand up. I do as he commands, and he turns, pointing both guns at Aaron.

"Do you think shooting me will kill me? Nothing can stop me fr-"

Aaron gets cut off by a deeper voice than his, almost sounding like his father's voice. Almost everyone in the room gasps, except me. "Nothing can stop you? Are you insane? You are a mortal you blithering idiot. Just like your mother."

Aaron turns around, wide eyed and an almost vulnerable expression crosses his face. Then another being enters the room. And this time I'm one hundred percent sure who it is. The white haired man topples over, taking the orange haired woman down with him.

"The Demon Warlock and Derek Lycen!"

Hundreds of voices scream throughout the crowd, and I find myself scrambling away from the chaos. Bodies everywhere, the sound of gunshots going off piercing my ears. And I feel someone grab onto my collar.

The person hits me into the wall over and over, and everything burns with pain. I struggle to break free, and kick who happens to be Aaron right in the side. He doesn't seem affected by my attack, and pushes a gun against my temple.

I freeze.

I can never win, face it. I look Aaron dead in the eyes, and he has a smirk on his face. "Shoot me. You've had so many chances and you don't shoot me!" I yell at him furiously, and I hear the bullet click into place.

No one has tried to stop him from killing me. No one has tried to help me. Maybe I'm a monster after all. As if in slow motion, I watch as he almost pulls the trigger.

Almost.

Mayhem takes its place. Katelyn tackles Aaron to the ground, and takes the gun from his hand. She punches him continually, and I'm too shocked to do anything. And then the gun is pressed against his forehead.

Katelyn's POV  Finally!

I press the gun against his forehead, and I realize that we're in my hospital room that I was only in hours ago. I have no idea how we got here, nor why I'm trying to kill this man. But he hurt Jeffory, and that's all that matters.

Three.

Breathe.

Two.

Breathe.

One...

Bang.

The piercing sound of the bullet makes my ears ring, and I slowly stand up. I killed him. I killed a man I didn't even know. He could've been a father, a husband, and I wouldn't even had known.

"Katelyn."

The sound of his voice is soothing, yet I still don't remember why I feel this way when I'm around him. And I get a sudden wave of anger, and I push him against the wall.

Kicking, punching, heck even scratching are the things I do to him. I try to stop myself, but it's no use. "Kate-Katelyn," He gasps in between breaths, and I slam his head against the wall. He didn't go unconscious like I planned him to.

"I'm sorry." He finally whispers, blood running down his nose as he pushes his thumbs down into my neck.

And I faint.

Aphmau's POV

He's dead. Aaron is finally dead. I don't feel the happiness I thought I would've had. Nor do I feel sad. Guilt seems to be eating me away, but I never physically hurt him. And then I feel the binding chains holding me in place break.

"Are you happy now?"

I hear his voice behind me and I turn around. Staring at him with my arms crossed, I smile at him.

"Is this the real Aaron?"

"...Yes."

Running up to him, I wrap my arms around the kind, strong, and handsome man I knew before all of the chaos. And I wish we could stay like this forever.

"Is it over?"

"Almost darling, almost."

Hey guys! That was chapter eighteen and I hope you all enjoyed it! Sorry for continually delaying, but I hope you guys will understand.

Katelyn: Guess who's back. (Back, back) :1

Jeffory: Back again.

Aaron: Katelyn's back.

PBC: TELL SOME FRIENDS.

^That is what happens when I'm tired.
