I make the last turn and stop at a old barn. The light are out, the look of it is so scary.
'Ezra?' I say when I walk in. My hand are looking for a light switch. Finally I feel it.
'Great. We were waiting for you.' Ezra is standing in the middle of the barn, next to him James. Tied on a chair.
'Ezra... What are you doing?'
'Getting back what is mine.'
'And what is that?'
'You.'
'I'm not yours. Please Ezra, let James go. He did nothing.' My eyes fall on something in his hand. 'What is that in your hand?'
'Honey, this is called a knife.'
'Ezra put that away. Please. I will get back with you okay, just don't do anything to anyone.'
'Claire, you still don't get it do you? I gave you a month, a month to get back with me. It had been more than a month. I told you something and I never break promises.'
'What about that time you promised to have respect for my decisions. You broke that.'
'This is different.'
'No it's not.'
'DANG IT CLAIRE!' He trows his knife towards James. It hits his arm.
'Ezra! Watch out!'
'Did you see that. That means I'm not scared to do anything to the two of you.'
'Ezra...' The blood is flowing out of James his arm. 'Look what you have done.' I make a move to James so I can pressure his arm.
'Don't... Don't touch him. I will cut you too.' He grabs my arm and pushes me on the ground
'Who are you...' I look disguised at him. 'I don't know you anymore... You are not the guy I fell in love with.'
'I' still me Claire. Still Ezra, Ezra Korner.'
'The Ezra I knew, he wouldn't do this.'
'This is going to cost you.' He stabs another knife in James's leg.
'Stop! No!'
'That is what you get from it. Do you want to feel the same pain as he does?' With my hand in my purse I stand up. I feel the knife with my fingertips.
'No.'
'Get down. Get down or I will hurt you.' Ezra says. Before I know my hand is coverd in blood...
