Point of view

Chapter 13

Sky POV

I stood there shocked. Unable to move, blink or even breathe.

Fear of being spotted.

I watched as the scence in front of me looks like something straight out of a James Bond movie. I've been thinking about James Bond alot. Maybe I'll go home and watch it.

Seriously...right now isn't the time.

I tried my best to stay put, not even to try and shift the weight from left foot to the right.

"Tsk tsk tsk." A man who is kinda short for looking like a middle age man, said while having the gun against Ashton's cranium.

If that were me, I would have cried, begged, piss and shit my pants. All in that order. But Ashton is very calm and relaxed and I don't know why but that scares me.

It's like he's used to this kind of stuff as no emotions were present on his face. I wish I could say the same for Destiny. Her cries were echoing around the house and no matter how much the big fat greasy looking panda bear who has a gun at her head, tells her to shut up, that just makes her cries louder.

"You fucking leave her alone." Ashton screamed and tried getting up but the short troll hit him with the gun.

"Down boy. You know Uncle Mark won't hurt her." So are they all related or what?

Wait...who exactly am I asking that?

"What do you want from us. We already told you Mom and Dad are dead. They are fucking DEAD. GONE. NEVER COMING BACK. So why won't you leave us alone." Ashton all but screamed at the man, who I assumed must be their uncle.

In one swift motion, he brought the gun down on Ashton's face and I almost let out a loud gasp but covered my mouth with my hands. Ashton's head bounced down like a bobble head and Destiny was crying even more.

"Ashton...I'm scared. I want mommy and daddy. I want to go be with them." Her cries were the only sound being heard as all eyes focused on her.

Ashton raised his head, a nasty cut gushing blood was visible but like the good older brother, he didn't show any sign of weakness whatsoever.

"Hey D. Everything's gonna be fine, Mom and Dad aren't ready to see you yet. Remeber you gotta become a spaceman commander first remember."

I had to do something. Anything. But what the fuck am I gonna do huh? I can't even move my feet. It's like they were melted into the ground and I became a statue built upon fear and anxiety.

"Ok enough of this shit." The man who I figure is "uncle Mark" got up and knelt down in front of Ashton. "Listen here kid. Your parents were the smartest doctors in the business. They found a fucking cure for your "condition" but yet you decided you didn't want it. I wonder why?"

Ashton didn't say anything as he just shot glaring daggers at his uncle.

"They had one job. ONE FUCKING JOB. And they couldn't do it. Well that's what I thought at first. But it wasn't a case of couldn't...no it's more like they didn't want to. You know what I'm talking about right you little shit." Jeff kicked Ashton in his stomach and he fell to the floor refusing to cry out for Destiny's sake.

"I h-have n-no idea w-what your talking a-about." Ashton was trying to catch his breath but it looks like it even hurts to breathe.

That's it. I can't just stand here and not do anything. I have to move or who knows what's going to happen.

So just like a ninja, I tiptoed up the stairs trying not to make a sound and into the Destiny's room where I left my phone. I dialed 911 and kept my breathe as low as possible. I informed them that it was an emergency and told them exactly what happened. The lady said that they were 10 minutes away and that I should stay put.

But me being me, I never listen. I couldn't wait around while some crazy shit was going on downstairs. I went to Ashton's room and looked around for anything useful.

The hair products, games, condoms and porn magazines were never going to help in this situation but when I opened one of his drawers, I found the same gun that Destiny had in her bag.

Why the fuck does he still have this. This is one fucked up family.

I took the gun and walked back down the stairs. I peeped around the corner and almost gasped loudly in horror.

Ashton was on the floor, his face bloody and bruised with his uncle kicking him repeatedly.

He looked up and saw me with the gun and his eyes widened. He tried to tell me something but I couldn't make it out. It looked like he was telling me to "don't do it"

My heart was beating fast and I felt dizzy all of a sudden. My breathing became uneven and it was then that I realized that I was having a panic attack.

No...now is not the time for this.

I had to do something and fast before it's too late. Just as I was about to reveal myself, sirens blared loudly outside as police cars stopped outside the house. The men all had looks of shock and disbelief and then was enough for Ashton to get up and punch his uncle. He fell to the floor and the gun flew across the room.

The other two guys snapped out of their confusion but was too late as Ashton tackled one of them to the ground.

The one who was holding Destiny panicked and that was my chance. Stepping from the corner, I pointed the gun at him and told him don't move in my best movie voice but my whole body was shaking. My panic attack was on the verge of coming to the surface but I tried to keep it under control. He looked at me like "where the fuck did she come from" and held the gun tighter to Destiny's head.

"Move or I will shoot her!" He threatened and just then the door was kicked down and cops rushed in quickly.

That was the good thing. And for every good there is a bad thing.

The sudden event cause my panic attack to go off and it scared me so much that I flinched and the gun when off.

BANG!!!

Minutes past but it felt like hours.

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. When the dust settled, Ashton was finished beating the shit out the other guy but his eyes widened, the cops were all in shock and still and I was barely standing with shakey feet and tears flowing down my face but we were all looking at the same thing.

The body of a little girl with on gunshot wound to the chest laying on the floor, not moving a single inch.
