Crosshairs Lock You Down || (Gusley Fanfic)

Chapter 1: Death Lullaby

"Father!" Lesley was whipping her head around wildly trying to find her father in the chaos that had ensued. Assassins had broken in, their target was the Vance's heir. She had successfully hidden Harley in a secret underground bunker. Now she was trying to find her father.

In the corner of her eye she saw a familiar blue tailcoat. "Father!" Lesley shouted as she started running toward the man in blue. He didn't hear her as he was too busy shooting down assassin after assassin. "Father!" Lesley tried again. This time he heard her, he turned his head to face his daughter. His eyes widened when he saw an assassin behind her a dagger dangerously close behind her

"Lesley duck!" He shouted as ready his gun and shot a bullet to the assassin that was about to end his daughter's life. Lesley ducked and looked behind her. The assassin that was about to stab her now dead on the floor. She immediately froze realizing how close to death she was if her father hadn't shot the assassin. "Lesley why are you here?!" Her father knelt down and caressed her face scanning her body for any injuries. He let out a sigh when there was none to be found. "It's dangerous here go hide with the young master"

"But I don't want to leave you!" Lesley protested "I can fight too!"

"Lesley!" She flinched as her father raised his voice.He rarely did so it shocked her "This is too much for you to handle." He gripped her shoulders "Please Lesley. Go hide."

Lesley lowered her head "Yes father." Unbeknownst to them while they were having a father-daughter moment an assassin had snuck up to Lesley's father. In one swift motion the assassin stabbed her father.

Her father quickly turned around and shot the assassin on the forehead. He then collapsed as his breathing labored "Les... Lesley..."

"No don't talk Father! It's going to be alright I'll go get help!" Lesley felt tears starting to stream down her face as she started panicking and searching for help. But her father grabbed her wrists before she ran off.

"Lesley listen to me!" He coughed up more blood. It was getting harder for him to breathe as he felt the life drain out of him. "Lesley I love you please stay safe." He father murmured as he took his final breath and his breathing went still.

Lesley stood there holding her father's now lifeless hand tears streaming down her face. She saw red and the next thing she knew she had picked up her father's rifle and started shooting at the invaders.

"Crosshairs..."

"Lock you down..."

"Death..."

"Kisses you..."

"On the forehead..."

She had unconsciously sang the lullaby her father had taught her. As the last assassin fell so did her last tear. She stood there clutching her late father's rifle staring at the pile of corpses with a blank look. The death of her father replaying in her mind over and over.
