Fate

Part 4

Nothing.

"Shoot me," she heard herself whisper. Isaiah stops yelling. She opens her eyes to about 30 something confused faces. "Shoot me," she repeats again, louder. Isaiah hesitates, unsure what to do. His eyes shake and his aim falters.

"What are you waiting for? Isn't this what you wanted to do? Pull the fucking trigger and shoot me!" Her demands get louder and more aggressive. She walks towards him and he drops his arm, eyes watering, stumbling backwards. He tries to protest but to no prevail.

Mac and Eden yell at her.

"What the hell are you doing?"
"Stop it! Dammit, I said stop, Jackie!"

But the only thing Jackie hears is herself yelling. The only thing she sees is her final fate.

Finally overwhelmed, Isaiah raises the gun and pulls the trigger...on himself. Jackie stops, as if awaken by the sound of him hitting the floor. She lets out a sob, shaking from head to toe. Screams fill her ears, but all she can focus on is the gun is his hand. She staggers forward and grabs the gun. She turns around and whispers, "I'm sorry." As she raises the gun to her head. Eden screams and lunges forward, too late, and Jackie falls to the floor, meeting her fate.
