Arianna

"Hey what are you doing! You can't just come into my house like you live here or something!" Jasmin yelled.

I ran down the hall where I heard Damon yelling. 

A big guy came and tackled Victor. They started fighting and blood was getting everywhere fast.

I kept running to all the doors until it was silent.

"Damon! Are you in there!?" I knocked on the door I assumed was the basement.

Nobody answered.

I opened the door and it was pitch black.

"Damon?" I whispered, turning on the light.

There was a guy holding Damon in a headlock with a gun pointed to his head.

"Come any closer and I'll blow his brains out." The man said.

"You don't have to do this, I promise we can just forget about all of this just please let him go." I pleaded.

I looked at Damon and noticed he hadn't looked at me once.

Instead he was staring at my wrist.

Smart boy.

I pulled a gun from my waist and pointed it at the guy.

"Don't even think about." I heard Jasmin say from behind me.

I felt the gun press against my head.

"Put the gun down Arianna." Jasmin said.

"Not until your guy drops his." I said firmly.

"Not gonna happen." The guy said chuckling.

"I'm glad you think this is funny." I said stepping closer.

"You're a brave little girl." The guy said.

I could still hear things being thrown and glass breaking from Victor and the guy fighting.

Damon was acting very calm. I'm glad he's not worried.

I got this.

"You have ten seconds to drop the gun or im killing you and your little boyfriend." Jasmin said.

"10"

I didn't move.

"9"

All I could think to myself was please hurry.

"8"

"7"

"6"

I stayed completely still, pointing the gun at the guy.

"5"

"4"

I started tapping my foot hoping this would go by faster.

"3"

"2"

"1" I heard a familiar voice say.

Damon quickly grabbed the gun from the man. I shot went off the the man fell to the floor. I turned around and hit Jasmin with my gun and she stumbled back. I quickly run up to her and hit her again making her drop her gun and fall.

I kicked the gun away from her and ran to Damon, giving him a hug.

"The key, it's in her pocket."

I walked over to the unconscious Jasmin and got they key from her pocket.

I unlocked the hand cuff from the pole and looked down at the body on the floor.

"He's dead." I whispered.

Soon after that I felt someone walk up behind me.

I turned around and smiled.

"Good work Huncho." I said dapping him up.

"Thanks, I told you that bracelet was gonna come in handy one day." He said laughing.

"Yeah I totally forgot about it until I peeped Damon staring at my wrist." I said looking up at him.

Victor came up breathing hard.

"We- we gotta go."

I quickly grabbed Jasmins arm and handcuffed her to the pole and put the key back into my pocket

We all ran out and got into the car.

Huncho followed us back to my place, and we immediately went to my room.

"Hey mom this is Huncho, Huncho this is my mom." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him up the stairs.

We all walked into my room and started taking.

"How would your mom feel about having a murderer in her house." Huncho said laughing.

"Shhhhhh. And it was self defense so it's okay." I said.

We all started laughing.

"Come on Damon lets get you cleaned up."
