The Sheep In Wolf's Clothing

33

     The bullet grazed my leg.

     "Argh!" I yelled in pain.

     "See? That's what you get for trying to escape. Stop fighting, bitch!" He kicked my wound and I fell in pain.

     Then I heard another shot. This time it didn't hit me. It struck Ziron.

     "Ackk! Who the fuck shot me?!" He looked around and saw Milo.

     "Milo!" He clenches his teeth growling.

     "Hey! Milo! Look at this!" He pulled on the collar of my shirt and held me over the falls.

"Lower your weapon or else I'll drop her." I looked at Milo; I saw the fear in his eyes as he looked at me.

"Lower your weapon!" He wrapped his hands around my neck squeezing tightly.

The air escaped my grasp. My lungs couldn't expand, Every time I took a breath; nothing came through. I was struggling to breathe. I fought him to let go of me, but it felt like fighting a rock. Nothing affected him.

"Fine, you leave me no choice Milo."

Those were the last words I heard before I felt him let go of me. I gasped for air, but I was falling. My heart dropped. Time stopped. I watched my life flash before my eyes as I fell down the falls. I looked up to see Ziron smirk at me. I heard Milo screaming my name out. There was nothing I could do but wait for the impact.

His POV

My dad let go of her. I saw her body disappear from my field of vision. I got up and ran to the edge.

"Sapphire! Sapphire!" I screamed to the top of my lungs. I need to go after her, but I need to finish this first. I turned to my dad.

I pointed the gun to his stomach.

"Hey, Son we can work this out." He backed away from me.

"No, I know what you said. You killed the others and now you're going to kill us next." I shoved the gun closer, locking eyes with the man I once called my father.

     "You said they were gone! And now, you fucking pushed my girlfriend off!"

"I did this to protect us."

     "To protect us?! You were going to kill us?! How is that protecting?! I'll put a bullet in you right now! You're a madman. You killed so many people and you turned our family into animals!"

     "The others weren't people and yes. I did turn our family into animals, but this result is still a failure. You can't kill me."

     "Oh yeah? Watch me."

     "What will the men in black say when I'm dead?" I was getting ready to pull the trigger until I got interrupted.

"Milo, we'll take care of him." I turned around and saw the men in black.

"From here on out, you and your family can go to the city. We'll take care of your appearance afterwards." One of the men said to me.

"What?"

"You guys are human. We shouldn't have done this to you. Go after her. We'll take care of your father. Good luck." I thanked them. I'll ask questions later. This is more important.

I looked at the falls and jumped.
