Prepared (Part 1)

Zayne

My eyes flew open and glanced at the clock beside the bed.

1:23 a.m.

Something wasn't right. I could feel it in my gut. I reached over and grabbed the two guns on my bedside table. Both had silencers attached to them.

I touched Skye, waking her up. She sat up and looked around before noticing the guns in my hands.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Something ain't right." I whispered, "Grab your gun."

She instantly did as told and followed me to the door of our bedroom. I pressed my ear to the door and heard something that shouldn't be there.

Footsteps on my stairs. Rio & Tubby went home a few days ago so it wasn't them. Nobody should be on the stairs.

"Skye, text Tubby and say 911 home." I whispered and she scampered off, grabbing my phone and texting that to Tubby.

She gave me a thumbs up when the message was sent. I pointed towards her closet and she got what I meant. The footsteps were coming closer to my bedroom.

I hid on the side of the dresser where you wouldn't be able to see me while Skye was on the other side insider her partially opened closet.

I couldn't worry about Skye right now but I was. She was in danger. She could get hurt. I had to protect her. The door opened slowly and I saw the tip of a pistol pushing it the rest of the way.

The first one came in and fell instantly. A bullet to his head that wasn't released from my gun. Skye had to do that.

Damn her aim got good from all those trips to the shooting range with Rio. I shot the second and third in the knees while she took them out. Her gun had a silencer on it so the sound wasn't more than a few small pop sounds.

The fourth was shot in the stomach by Skye but he kept moving into the room too fast. He had to have a bullet proof vest. How many had vest on? He went to the my closet first. So close to Skye. Too close to Skye.

The fifth I shot in the face twice. And the sixth I shot once directly in the forehead. The fourth was inside my closest, tearing it apart. What was he looking for?

He could tell that neither gunshots were coming from there. He had to able to tell. So why was he in the closet? What were they looking for?

Skye came out of her closet and aimed behind him, but she couldn't get a clear shot. The man turned around like he sensed somebody was there.

He grabbed Skye by the throat and lifted her from the ground. Skye looked at me, shook her head no but I tackled him anyways. I smacked him across the head with my gun before aiming at his face.

His teeth were a bloody mess but he was smiling at me. "Go ahead, lil dyke."

I clenched my teeth in anger, "Who sent you?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He said, right before I ended his life.

I heard more footsteps and sighed. I slammed the door shut sliding the lock in place, and lead Skye to her closet. I grabbed my phone and threw it to Skye.

Banging on the door sounded everywhere. I pulled down the ladder to the attic and shuffled her up. I pulled the ladder up behind us.

"Call Tubby." I told Skye, moving aside the fake wall and grabbing two uzis. I reloaded the two pistols before turning towards Skye. She didn't look nervous or scared. If anything she looked worried.

I threw one to her, "Stay here. Only come if I call you. Do you understand? And whatever you do, do not call the fucking police."

She looked like she was going to argue but instead nodded, "Tubby!" Thrusting the phone towards me.

"Tell her what's happening. Blaze guys. Home."

She told her exactly what I said before giving me a thumbs up. "She said they already on the way but they were out doing a drop far out. They're coming as fast as they can."

Skye sat still, watching me descent the ladder. I peeked out the opened closet door, 6 more men. Rummaging through my room.

I aimed through the cracked door, shooting the man closest to me in the neck. He fell to the ground and I moved on to the next guy. By the third guy, they were moving in hot and close to the closet. I couldn't let them inside.

Not with Skye inside the attic. I raced out the door, shooting two of the men across the chest with the uzi. The third was right there, staring me down with a sick smile.

I heard more footsteps and prayed they belonged to Tubby and them. I aimed at the man, his eyes wide with surprise. He aimed at the same place that I did. The head.

"You shoot me, I shoot you." He said, smiling again.

"So be it." I said, my finger seconds away from pulling the trigger back.

He fell, a gun wound to his head. I looked over at Skye. She was standing there, her small silver Berretta blew the back of his head out.

6 more guys ran into the room and I was starting to wonder, just how many were in my house. I heard more footsteps coming up the stairs.

I hope they're close I wasn't so sure we could make it out of this alive. But I'd die protecting Skylander.
