Agent Red (Hiatus)

For the first time in her life, Rori was terrified.

She hadn't felt anything like this. Her gasps for air were erratic and desperate and her body had begun shaking. She couldn't ignore it this time.

As much as she tried to suppress it, her quivering lips couldn't hold back a whimper.

"Listen..." He coaxed. "I don't wanna hurt you...but I need you to let go of the gun." His gaze had softened, and he had loosened his grip.

Rori continued to clutch on to the gun tightly, and tried to maneuver away from his grasp. She had tried firing, but he grabbed her by the arm

Rori dived for the gun, pointing it at him once again.

She was breathing heavily, and her hand was trembling. Her heart pounded loud enough to echo in her ears.

The wolf shot his hands up, his blue eyes pulsing with fear.

Both of them were afraid.

But one of them had a duty to do, and had promised to serve their country, even if it meant laying down their life.

"You can't kill me, y'know..." He admitted, breaking the silence. "I've tried."
