Ch. 17
Allison's POV
I don't know how long I was stuck in this stupid dungeon, I barely got any food and the rats were mocking me while they were eating little crumbs.
A light came in front of me, and I knew someone was here to give me disgusting food. But this time it was different, Gina came in.
"It's time for you to say goodbye." she said. I knew what would happen next. She would get out her gun and shoot me so my life could end. But we made a deal, a deal that I had to accept.
She promised me that she would leave my friends alone, my family alone, and that meant there had to be a sacrifice. I agreed, I was the sacrifice, the sacrifice who would end this problem.
I got up and I walked beside two of her men. She walked in front, as usual. We finally stopped when Tracy, Dylan, and my whole family were in sight. They all looked at me, they didn't know what would happen next. It would flash in their minds everyday, they would have tears in their eyes everyday. And I, I would be dead, not only on the outside, but in the inside too.
Gina hit me on my back with her foot and I fell on my knees. I hung my head low, my hair in my face. A tear escaped form my eye, it fell to the ground and splashed. It made its own little puddle with each tear that escaped my eyes.
Gina walked around me, while laughing at the moment.
"I've been waiting for this day, the day that I finally get you out of the picture. The day you finally disappear, where you vanish into thin air. You're just gonna become another grave in the cemetery, a grave that no one will bring the smallest bouquet too."
She took her gun and pointed it to my head. I heard my mom screaming no, my dad struggling to get out of the cage, Tracy drowning herself with tears, Dylan struggling to get untied, and my little Johnny, whimpers escaping his mouth.
My tears, falling to the ground, staining my face. Then I thought of when I was in 8th grade. Where I was a girl with low expectations, but huge thoughts. Thoughts that led to problems. And now I was being pointed a gun at my head, I would have minutes to be able to breathe. To be able to get out my last tear. To be able to see the people that I love, and it was their final chance to ever see me again.
Gina walked away, she got in front of me from a few feet away. She smiled in victory, knowing, that any minute, she would actually kill me. Where she would complete her goal, to get me out of the picture.
She pulled out her gun, and raised it. She pointed it at me, and I thought, right after this. Everyone's life will change, my life will end and what will happens to the others. My baby brother would cry himself to night everyday, my mom and dad would go in my room and remember the memories that we used to have. My friends, who knows what could happen to them.
I still had a little hope that somebody would come to my rescue, somebody who would stop this nightmare, but my hopes just drained out.
"This is going to be unforgettable." Gina said. I close my eyes, I would have to resist the pain until it would be unbearable. Then I heard a voice, a voice that whirled around my mind. And the words that he used shattered my heart.
"Don't you dare shoot my daughter!"
I looked up, and saw him. The man who abandoned me. The man who left my mom because he was afraid to face the truth. He was afraid to lose his dignity just because a baby got in his way. But just by abandoning your baby, you lose you dignity right there.
My mom gasped, and I knew that it was him. He had dark brown hair with emerald eyes and wore a coat that covered his entire body. When Gina looked at him, she threw him a glare.
"What are you saying?!" she screamed out.
"Gina, don't pull that trigger. Don't you dare hurt my daughter!"
Even if she didn't pull that trigger, even if a bullet wasn't inside my body, that one word killed me.
Daughter
It was a word that was a dream, a dream that turned into a living nightmare. A nightmare that was coming true every second.
"No! She's not your daughter! You're my dad! You're my only dad!" I looked up and saw that Gina was crying. Her hand was trembling with the gun in her hand, her finger was inches away from pulling the trigger, and that man. That man was inches away from snatching that gun from her.
"Give me the gun Gina!"
"No! I don't care if we're half sisters, I don't care if she had the same blood as me! I'm not going to back down!"
She was about to pull it when sirens started to struck the air. Everyone looked to their left, and police came marching in.
"How... What?!" Gina screamed out.
"I called them, I wasn't going to let you do something stupid!" Mark screamed out.
The police caught every one of the men, while Gina was confronted with 3 cops. I didn't know what happened next, it was all a blur. My mom and dad came running to me, I didn't understand why they were crying like this. They should be happy, nothing happened to them.
I then got a sharp pain coming in my stomach. It ran through my body, going every inch of it so I could feel the pain everywhere. I gripped my stomach, the pain grew worse every second. I clutched it, but no matter how much I tried to get the pain away, it came back.
I finally looked at my hand and fear washed over me. It was covered in blood, and I knew what happened. Gina had pulled the trigger and everything was becoming a blur and I didn't feel the impact of the bullet.
I felt that I was being lifted into something, while my mom gripped my hand. I didn't want her to let go, I could let go of her. I felt that we were moving and I looked to my right. My mom was holding my hand, I smiled at her weakly.
My eyelids were becoming heavy and I couldn't keep them open. I felt that I was running out of oxygen, that somebody was grasping my throat and I needed air. And I slowly felt my life being drained away.....
What. Will. Happen. Next?!😱😰
Question: Will Allison live or will she join the other world?
Bonus question: And what will happen with her real dad?
