The Alchemist

Chapter 4

"Night!" Nat shouted" Are you ready to go? We're leaving the house in about five minutes."
"Erm... Dad, may I come with you guys? I wanna get to know Night better. In other words, what he picks as his clothes should determine hopefully the kind of things he likes."Lucy explained. Nat only nodded back approving of her request.

Nat took the lead once he had locked the door and had both teenagers following him. From the directions and roads they were passing, Lucy could tell that they were going to the big mall just a few blocks away. It wouldn't be long till they got there and she was right. By now, they were standing outside a marvellous building. Nat walked inside to and quickly looked back to see if Night and Lucy were still there. He then headed into a clothes and jewellery shop. The shop seemed quite big and multiple floors. The wallpaper clearly standing out as its bright colours outlined the darkness of the carpet. Night looked around to see the shop filled with lots of clothes and pretty necklaces and shining rings. Nat walked Night to the men or boys section while letting Lucy walk around and see what she wanted for herself. Night saw a few things that stood out to him a dark grey hoodie with matching jogging bottoms. Not only that but a black t-shirt with the bright alolan Ninetales (his favourite pokémon). The design of the shirt was fantastic. The darkness outlined the whitish Ninetales in the middle. He also a few shoes he wanted as well and Nat decided to buy all of these for him along with some other things. "HEY! You there drop your items... This is a robbery" declared a man in silver coloured balaclava with a gun to Net's head. "Hey you there stop in the name of the law" a guard said about to take out his weapon when he was struck dead quickly by a bullet. It was strange. The gun was still pointed to Nat's head. Then he noticed something out of place. He saw another man hiding behind a row of jewellery. How could Nat be so calm in a suitation like this? Why isn't anyone doing anything? All the thoughts flashed in his head. He lookes over to the second man who carefully glanced over his back as he put some jewelry in his bag. 'EYES HERE' he shouted as he reached for Lucy and grabbed her by the hair. His gun was pointed to her head now. Night and Nat stared in horror and did as instructed. The criminal lets go of Lucy's hair pushing her forward but still pointing the gun at her head. His finger that started pulling back in the trigger. Would he really do such a thing? Would he really kill and innocent girl for no reason?

Lucy cowered in fear aware of what was happening. She could tell easily that this was her time to die. Then the criminal hit the trigger and the explosion banged through the walls. She stood still, eyes closed wondering why she wasn't dead yet. Why couldn't she feel anything? Then she opened her eyes which were staring at floor completely covered in blood. She let her head roll upwards and saw Night standing there with a trail of blood fishing down from his chest which he tried to cover up. She screamed and she cried out but no one could do anything. In an instant Night dropped onto the floor and his eyes closed. Just like that, he was dead
