COLLATERAL CORA

11

  Cora

I whimper the minute I felt the cold pointy metal pin to the side of my head.

I cried silently as I thought about how it will feel once he pulls the trigger and the bullet enters into my skull.

It will sting I know it will.

He gripped my arm tightly as he pinned the gun to my head harder.

I shut my eyes tightly making tears roll out as I await my death.

It's over for me.

I am about to die.

I am leaving this world.

"Cora!"

A familiar voice called out.

I froze.

Is it who I think it is?

"Cora!"

"Hunter?"

"Cora!"

I think it is. It's Hunter! I recognise his voice very well.

I look ahead and I sight his tall figure approaching us. He is carrying a bag and smiling at me.

I let out a breath of excitement and relief. Almost chuckling.

He is here.

He came for me. He is finally here!

God has sent him to me again.

My angel.

Finally I am going home.

Thanks good Lord!

"Let her go"he said to the boss.

"Where the fuck is my money you bastard?" The boss' voice made me shudder.

"In here" Hunter said as he bring down the big red bag he was carrying.

It is so big. I guess he owe the boss a lot of money.

But I am glad it is all sorted out now.

"Let her go" Hunter said.

"Push the bag here" the boss ordered.

Hunter did as he was told and the boss pushed me towards Hunter like a trash, making me fall to the cold ground. I whimper out in pain.

"Cora, baby" Hunter called as he helped me on my feet.

I didn't wait but hugged him tightly, crying on his shirt. I let it all out crying out in relief. I am so so happy to see him. I thought I won't see him again. I thought I was going to die.

I thought it was the end.

But it isn't.

It really isn't!
