James Harvey

Chapter 28

I was covered by dark shadows. I yelled as I saw the sky getting dark and the moon becoming red. Then I froze.

No, no! This can't happen. I recalled my nightmare I had a long time ago. It was coming true. That's not possible. But the voices matched. 

I somehow found the strength to get up. I looked around and saw darkness. I looked for my pistol. It was lying a few meters away from where I stood. I slowly began to walk to retrieve it. I bent down and picked it up. When I looked up again, I founded myself surrounded by several men in black suits. I immediately pointed my gun at no one in particular. But the men had made a circle around me and were not afraid even a bit. 

Then I heard that evil laughter again. I turned and saw a man standing in a white suit. He had blondish-brown hair. He had an evil, thin face. There was a scar below his left eye. He smiled and I got goosebumps. That evil smile. Then he spoke, "Hello, James. Oh, oops...I mean, my king." hE and his men started to laugh.

This man needed no introduction. I never met him but yet I knew him very well. I had waited for this moment. I had waited to kill him. 

"Antonio.", I spoke his name with my voice full of hatred.

He smiled evilly. "Oh, I am glad you know me.", He replied. 

"It is important to know your greatest enemy.", I replied harshly.

"Oh, I am not your enemy.", He replied pretending to look hurt.

"Yeah, you murdered my parents, and yet you aren't my enemy.", I said sarcastically. 

"You see this boy.", He touched his scar, "Your father was the reason for this. He gave me this. Something I can never forget. So I killed him and your mother too."

I growled and lunged at him but two men came in between and grabbed me. My pistol fell from my hand. I pushed one of them in the jaw hard. He retreated. I grabbed the other's collar and kneed him viciously in the stomach very hard. He fell to the floor. The rest of the men raised their guns at me. I paused. There was no chance I could take all of them alone so now I had to distract Antonio until the rest come to help. 

"Where is my sister?", I asked.

"Oh yeah right. I forgot about her. Boy, she is a fighter. She bit my man. She is seriously brave.", He replied.

"It runs in the family, you know.", I said with pride.

I like you boy. You will be really fun to kill. But before that I'll let you see your sister.", He said, laughing loudly. 

He took out his phone and called someone. He said, "Bring her-yes-now."

After a few minutes, two men came holding Ava by her shoulders. Her face was covered in anger and fear. There was a gag stuffed in her mouth. Her tears had dried.

My blood-boiled. I lunged at Antonio but one of his men shot me on my leg. I growled and yelled in pain. I was about to get up when more bullets were shot.

I turned and saw Hugo was standing alone using the trees and darkness as a cover, killing those men one by one.

"Somebody, stop him.", Antonio yelled as Hugo shot two more men. 

Then, terror exploded as I saw Antonio pull out his own pistol. He aimed towards Hugo. 

"Hugo, look out.", I yelled as Antonio fired.

But It was too late. I was too late. 

Hugo looked at me as the bullet pierced his chest. "No!!!", I screamed at the top of my voice.

"Hugo!!!", I yelled loudly.

Hugo looked at me. A painful, sad smile. Then he raised his gun and shot a few more times at those men. But it was of no effect. Hugo and I both knew he wouldn't survive. His vision was blurring. He was unable to aim. He was bleeding continuously. He still didn't let his gun fall from his hands. Then two men raised their guns and pressed the triggers. Several bullets entered Hugo's body. Hugo lay on the ground lifeless. Hugo was gone. Tears were streaming from my eyes. I looked at the ground. My hands hit on the ground with a thud. As soon as they touched the floor. I felt something metallic. I wiped my tears and saw my right hand on my pistol. I closed my eyes as I thought of revenging Hugo.

"Now you realize that you cannot fight me and win.", He said evilly.

"Yes, but I can still try.", I told him not looking up.

"How do you plan on doing that?", He asked.

I looked him in the eyes and said, "Like this."

Then I grabbed my pistol and shot the two men holding Ava. Then I rolled past Antonio and shot the two men behind me. Hopefully, I didn't have to do much. Hugo had done the job for me. There was a guy next to Antonio. He advanced and shot me twice. I dodged and then shot. He got a bullet in the skull. Before I could get on my feet, Antonio shot my right shoulder. I lost my balance and the gun fell from my hands.

"Now, you die.", He said as he raised his gun.

I closed my eyes. But then I opened them again as I heard Antonio scream madly.

I looked up and saw that Ava had buried a dagger deep in Antonio's waist. I quickly began to look for my pistol but before I could do anything, I heard another scream

But this wasn't Antonio's scream, it was Ava's. Antonio had grabbed her neck and put his gun on her head. 

"No!!!", I yelled.

"Now you will watch your lovely sister die.", He said as his finger went to the trigger.

"No, please, no. Don't do this. Please.", I began to please. 

"Beg to me boy, beg.", He told me as he laughed amusingly.

"Never James. Never beg him. I forbid you.", Ava growled. 

"Suit yourself. Say goodbye to each other.", He said as he got ready to shoot.

I closed my eyes, registering the truth. 

Gunshot.......
