PARAGON

the beginning of the end

BOOM!!
The sound of a shot gun echoed through the hallway, I could barely sée, my legs shaking with every step I took. I had barely walked 5steps when I heard two more gunshots. Oh dearest lord is Martin okay?  I questioned myself repeatedly till I found a door, i slowly pushed it in. A small window graced the big room with sunshine a little bit of happiness and hope  flooded through my body. The first bit of light after being lost in the secret Chambers of the JOLLA mansion. My eyes adjusted to the light and I could see clearly, maybe a bit. I saw Martin holding a shot gun and three lifeless body around him. I looked at him with spite. How could I have believed his angelic face, he was the killer all along and allowed me take all the blame and torture!

"Oh my sweet Harper, you finally joined the game" He said smiling menacingly.
" What stupid game? "
" Harper, I would have loved to chit chat, but it was fun while it lasted" he raised his gun aiming at my head, i froze. Could he see the fear in my eyes, he better not. Everyone had believed i was a strong, badass mean girl not to leave the good part a-serial-killer and he believed that too.
"Ain't scared of you, tell me one thing before you satisfy your sick self. Did you kill Helen?. He squinted his eyes. There, right there was that angelic innocent smile "whatcha think Harper?" He straightened his arm.

"Oh sweet Jesus, and i thought i was the bad guy" i sighed and had a flash back of how i met this maniac called Martin up to this crucial moment. Oh well he might kill me or I might end up killing him or we might just end up together again and never leave this Godforsaken Chambers 'cos deep down i still love him.

"Goodmorning Harper" Lisa shouted "now think again, won't you invite ne to your family reunion? "
" Oh lovely Lisa it's a family reunion not for friends, and besides I don't want you meeting those people,they  are horrible and they will treat you badly".
" I'll manage" Lisa said smiling
" Lisa I have plans. I don't want you ruining it".
"When have i ever ruin your plans? On the contrary I make it better. How about I look for a sweetheart to join us to your family reunion so you can shame your cousin cava-sue"
" She won't even be alive for the end of year Thanksgiving"I said smiling. I hate everyone in my family except my father. they gave me so many names when j was little "ugly, beast, wicked, witch" and i know they will throw so many petty cheap talks at the reunion. Probably thinking they are facing the little girl they ridiculed. I have grown into a fine ass lady how could they not have seen the damsel in transition, their loss;because this damsel is the devil's incarnate and they created her
"Don't tell me you are planning to hurt her" Lisa asked looking worried
"Hurt her? That's an understatement, everyone in the family loves her. I'll kill two birds with one stone"i said smiling " and I want you to witness it, invite the sweetheart you wanted to and I'm officially inviting you to my family reunion". I said grinning ear to ear.

" What are you going to do Harper? " Lisa whispered narrowing her tiny eyes.

"No Harper, we are bad guys. You know what the headline would say about us?" Martin asked
"I'm guessing" I gave a shrug " lovers massacre" I laughed and he smiled
"No baby. It will say ' killer couple'." He said and smile " it will hurt to kill you... "
" You don't have to"i interrupted him I made an attempt to move closer to him, he didn't react , he just stood there looking at me. I raised an arm and gestured pointing to him and then me. "We could do so many things together" I nodded.
"Yes we could have, if you still believed I was the nice guy you met. You've always been a little demon. Bossing me around all those time. How do you like me now? "
" As much as I did"
" Oh please don't lie".he said tilting his head, by now I have reached his space. He put his arm and guard down.
"Why did you kill them?"  I asked pointing towards the dead people
"Do you want to see their faces?" He smirked. He turned the one with a burgundy updo hair over
"Cammy!" I looked at him again, I believed he could feel.the anger from where he stood. He laughed "calm down little pore,don't burst yet...tada!!!" He said turning the male guy over.
"You killed Cammy and Ricky? Whstever for?"
" For you"he smiled
" And yet you wanna kill me"
" Not anymore. I did you a favor"
" Just like you killed Helen?"
" You told me you wished her dead"
" And that gave you the right to kill my price? You fool. You got me into a lot of trouble."
" Don't insult me,love." He brought out his gun again aiming straight between my eyes,I inhaled deeply,the very long type of inhalation,gasp, yeah that's it." Do not misuse your opportunity, now you and going to back off slowly and leave this place"
"But i don't wanna leave you."
" Do as I say, I'll find you". He said with a frown. But whatever i am happy I'm alive,if he says he is going to look for me then he probably will,I forgot to break the goodnews i had for him before finding out he is my partner in crime.i'll wait on a low-key to give him the delicious "breaking news". Oh his expression will be priceless
