"Kill him." The moment the words were out of his mouth, I dropped the gun in shock and took back steps.
"I will let you go if you kill him," he was pointing towards John.
"No," I whispered and again took a back step.
"No?" The devil asked with disappointment, "Tsk-tsk, and here I thought you wanted to leave."
"I can't," I stuttered.
"Why?"
"It's a sin," I whispered.
A gasp escaped my throat when he stood so close to me that I could smell him and feel his hot breath on my face. Reading my intent to pull away, he wound his free arm around my waist and drew me near.
"You said you want to go home, right?" a shudder passed through me when he murmured.
"Killing is....a..sin," I pushed at his chest with all my might.
I gasped when he turned me around abruptly, facing John. My heart palpitated when I felt his presence behind me, crossing all bounds of personal space.
"What will happen if you sin?" My chain of thoughts broke when I heard him ask, leaning close to my ear. A ripple of shock passed through me, stunning me in the spot as soon as his callous palm ran over my stomach, pulling me deeper into his chest.
"Please," I begged.
"I will tell you what will happen if you sin," he leaned closer.
"No, no, no," John thrashed in his place.
A whimper left me when his hot breath hit my ear, "you burn in hell."
Lost in my dread of his proximity or his touch, I failed to notice when he placed the gun in my hand, locked my fingers around it with his own, and raised it towards John.
"And this is hell." Before I could stop him or pull my hand away, he pulled the trigger, followed by the gunshot.
I clutch my eyes shut with a scream locked in my mouth.
I was trying to save my father then; how did I end up becoming a sinner?
I killed a man!
"Boss."
"She is mine."
I didn't know who was talking to whom, but at that moment, I just wanted this all to be a dream.
