Forbidden Romance

Chapter Eighteen: Psychotic Mess

     "Time to eat," Damian distributed Mariam a trey of food as he took the fabric off of her head.

Mariam felt sick from the perception of fried beans and mashed potatoes.

"Well, I'm not a chef, you get what you get. Now eat,"

As Mariam lifted a spoon full of beans, she began vomiting.

"What is the deal with you? The food can't be that bad," Damian took the trey of food away from her as he heard foot steps by the window.

He grabbed his gun thereupon en routed towards the front door.

"We have to stop here and walk the rest of the way," Archie explained to Zachary as they both took place at the woods.

"Okay, Mariam here I come," Zach inaugurated walking in to the woods, in search for the burned house he hoped to find Mariam in.

"Jamal, what are we doing here?" Usman asked Jamal as Jamal parked the car near Zachary's.

"We are here to get revenge, Mariam has to die today, I am sure she's here," Jamal clenched his fist.

"Please, think this through. Your sister is very young and has a whole life ahead of her. We are Muslims, this isn't how we deal with our situations," Anes tried to convince Jamal to end his homicidal plans.

"No uncle, I will not rest until Mariam is dead." He took his gun out of the glovebox compartment and headed after Zachary and Archie.

"He's right, she deserves nothing but hell's fire. Let's go Usman." Abdul got out of the backseat as Anes followed.

"Archie, go in from the back," Zachary beckoned.

Archie pulled his gun out and headed towards the back door of the dreadful burnt house.

Zach, holding back his breath, slowly opened the front door as a gun shot went off, blowing a whole through the door.

"You cant have her Zach, she's mine," Damian squawked.

"You're sick, LET HER GO!" Zach bawled.

"Put your gun down, or she dies," Damian smirked.

"Fine, I'll put it down. Just don't hurt her please," Zach bent over, putting the gun on the floor.

"Thats more like.."

"I don't think so," Archie appeared from behind Damian, hitting the back of his neck with the side of his gun.

Zachary quickly picked up his gun then scampered towards the door until Abdul arosed and pushed him onto the floor.

He stood over Zachary, pointing a gun at his face.

"And who the hell are you?" Archie asked as he pulled Mariam closer to him.

"Listen, give me the girl and no one has to get hurt," Jamal and Usman pointed their guns at Archie.

"Please, stop this madness," Anes shouted, walking into the middle of it all.

"Move Anes, we aren't leaving until we finish the job," Usman pushed him away.

"Brother, thank god you're here. I've missed you all so much. Please, help me," Mariam solicited as she was out of breath.

"Mariam, come to me," Jamal held his arms out.

"MARIAM NO! Its a trap," Zachary screamed as he received a kick in the stomach by Abdul.

Jamal quickly ran towards Archie and slapped him across the face.
