Something happens when you think you're about to die. Something takes over that lets you know that if you don't do something you won't live. I don't know what comes over me.
You wouldn't think that I had two guns pointed towards me.
You wouldn't think that I'd never really been much of a fighter.
"You have new orders now. Kill ALL men. Including Gem."
I push past my fear. I push past all that concern that I'm carrying with me. I run forward and immediately wrestle with one of the terrorists. The gun goes off! It misses but just barely. I can feel this surge throughout my body as I struggle with the terrorist for the gun.
"SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM!" I hear the terrorist I'm struggling with say to the other.
The other doesn't shoot. Maybe it's the confusion. Maybe she can't get a clear shot. I'm not sure what it is but all I know is that I'm on the floor now. The terrorist is on top of me but the assault rifle is in my hand. I have it! I can just feel the salty sweat from the terrorist over me. I can see rage in her eyes as she looks down at me.
I pull the trigger!
She doesn't scream. There is just salt and this look of complete shock as her body tenses up and finally lets out this quick release. She's dead.
The other terrorist screams or so I think she does. I'm finding myself pushing this heavy woman off of me and I hear Amethyst let out a loud scream. I'm shooting wildly towards the other terrorists. The bullets are surging with no sense of control or anything. Amethyst is screaming and for a moment I think I hit her until I hear Rahmell's voice bringing me back.
"Stop! Stop!" I hear my friend say.
I turn and realize I've laced the other terrorist with laser lined bullets. There are holes through her. She has collapsed to the floor bleeding easily.
Rahmell grabs the gun out of my hand when I come back to. I'm shaking. I've never killed someone before let alone two people.
"Oh my god," I say.
My mouth is dry as I look at the bodies on the ground.
"What were you thinking?" Rahmell asks, "You could have gotten yourself killed."
"They were going to kill you," I state.
Looking at Rahmell I've come to the realization that I've done this more for him than for me. The idea of seeing Rahmell dead scared the shit out of me. Rahmell grabs me. He holds me close. His arms press up against me trying to either secure me or let me know that everything was going to be OK. I can't stop shaking in his arms. I still haven't come to the realization that I've just killed two people.
"She's trying to RUN!" Karington's voice says.
We turn at that moment. Rahmell has the gun at that moment.
"STOP!" Rahmell calls out to Amethyst.
Amethyst was making a break for the door. She is still facing the door. Her hands are up and slightly shaking from her nerves. She looks a little unsure of what to do in that situation but she turns around and her face has more confidence than her body language.
"You won't kill me."
"I will," I respond.
At that moment I mean it as well. Rahmell won't kill the mother of his children but this woman is evil. This woman literally just ordered people to kill her baby's father and her brother. Amethyst gave no fucks. She is sitting there right now with her hands up but when she looks at me she doesn't look as confident as Rahmell.
