Imperfect

"Get off me!" I shouted as he tried choking me. I started struggling. His hands were a lot more stronger than mine and we're tightly wrapped around my throat.
I don't know if Alec would help me right now or not. Maybe he is hiding somewhere and watching Carter killing me. He already said that he would never help me around his partners. But still I shouted his name, hoping he would come. Something inside me trusts Alec a lot. But he is nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, Carter took out a knife.
"Aha! Let's finish this" he brought the knife near my neck. This was the moment where I lost all my hope. Maybe it's going to be the end of me. But I had to try until my last breath.I held his hands and tried keeping the knife away from me as I gathered all my strength and pushed him against the wall. The knife fell down.
"Fuck! You are so gonna be dead for this!" He shouted. I crawled towards the knife, but I was too late. Carter pushed me and grabbed his knife again. He caught my hands and sat on me. God, help me...

Suddenly I heard a loud sound. Carter stopped. His face turned pale and he dropped his knife as he fell down next to me.
I was right. A bullet was fired by Alec. He was shivering. Both of us were filled with terror. My heart was beating too fast.
"You...kil...killed him?" I stammered. Without a word Alec walked towards Carter.

"We need to get his body out of here" he said nervously.

"Alec I asked you a question!"

"What the fuck am I supposed to say? He was trying to kill you and so I killed him. He is dead. That the only fucking thing I know!"

"He died because of me. Why did you even kill him? You said that you would never save me. And now...what is going on!" I couldn't stop crying. I know I should be thanking him right now but I can't control myself. There is a damn dead body next to me and I blame myself for this. He is dead because he was trying to kill me.

"Why are you thinking that someone died because of you? Instead take it in fucking positive way. Some one killed him for you! You should be grateful that you are still breathing!" He seems way too angry right now. I thought he understands me,but when I saw him being like others, my mind drifted me to another level. This happens to me when I'm angry or panicked. I can't help it.

"You know what Alec? Get lost! And work on your language" I yelled. Both of us were too shocked from what happened. Alec never killed someone until today and I never saw someone dying like this until today.

He grabbed Carter's legs and dragged his body outside the house. He left.
