To Murder Or To Kill The Murderer (4) DRAFT

Chapter 13

Amy's POV

My head hurts like hell. So does my face and most other parts of my body. I open my eyes and find my sight hazy and my thoughts clouded. I realise there's a cold wet face washer on my head. I groan and struggle to move.

"You can't move Amy, it'll cause pain." Dr jones says sounding like she's been crying. She has. I look at her face and she still is. I look at her worriedly.

"It's Vira! They're going to shoot her!" She says crying again. "In five minutes!" She's crying harder now.

I groan and feel every bit of pain in my body from the bruises and black eyes Vira gave me as I sit up. Dr jones shakes her head and tells me to lay back down. I shake my head and sit on the edge of the infirmary bed. I swing my legs around and stand up shakily. I ignore dr jones and half run half limp out of the infirmary. I continue my somewhat run to the room Vira was being held in. The lockdown room. I was not unconscious, just too hurt and weak to move. So I stayed still and made it seem as though I was unconscious.

I throw the door of the lockdown room as the Carrie loads the gun and turns the safety off. It's pointed directly at Vira who's chained to the wall. Vira glares at Carrie and looks, i don't even know how to explain it. Guilt, happiness, hatred, sadness, willing, everything all in one small amount of a emotion it seems.

I run and stand in front of Vira with my arms outstretched. If they want to shoot Vira, then they'll have to shoot me. I don't have to mouth/say it so they know what I mean.

"Amy move." Gary says. I didn't notice him before, but now I notice him standing over in a corner leaning on the wall. I shake my head defiantly at him. I won't.

"Amy move. Vira will be shot." Gary says firmly.

"You'll have to shoot me then." I mouth. Most people don't catch what I said and are glancing at each other confused. Gary gets it though.

"Come on Amy. I let her live long enough. Step aside and let me shoot her." Gary says.

"No."

"Gary, what if we kept Vira in permanent lockdown?" Carrie suggests.

"No. I have a better idea. Have everyone leave. Except you and Amy Carrie. Bring me a knife. I'm going to punish Vira, but not kill her." Gary says. I'm scared of what he's going to do to Vira but at least she'll stay alive. I groan and hold my stomach. The injuries are showing their there.

I look at Gary and know what he's thinking. "She did this to you Amy let me kill her". He doesn't say it though.

Carrie gets everyone out of the room until it's just her, Gary, Vira and I. Gary whispers something in Carrie's ear. She smiles sadistically and hands Gary a long sharp combat knife. He holds it firmly.

Before I know what's happening Gary's used the knife to leave a deep vertical cut across her right eye. She screams and howls in pain as blood drips off her face. She will never see out of her right eye again. And it's all my fault.
