Kidnapped

kidnapped chapter twenty eight

A/N: short chapter I know, but I haven't uploaded and I wanted to but things kept coming up. Because things keep coming up I doubt there will be a sequel. I know I won't be able to upload often cuz I can barely keep up with this one. There's probably one or two chapters left :( but I enjoyed writing this, and now I see I had a hidden talent lol hope u enjoy :)

Alex POV

I stumble back out into the hallway where elijah and Noah continue to hit each other.

"You stupid asshole! I'm your brother! How can you turn against me?!" Elijah screams, one of his punches landing on Noah's nose.

Noah stumbles back too close to the top of the stairs. What happens next happens so fast. Noah doesn't realize how close he is to the top of the stairs, elijah doesn't either. Noah takes a step back and his eyes go wide as his foot hits the step.

His reaction was to reach forward and grab what he could to keep from falling. What he grabbed onto was Elijah. I stare in horror as both of them tumble down the stairs the same way Jess did when Elijah pushed her weeks ago. Their grunts are muffled and it feels like they're falling forever.

I sob at the top of the stairs, the gun still in my shaking hand. I've never trembled so much, I'm literally shaking everywhere and I can't stop. I sniffle and grab the gun tighter. I start walking downstairs, never taking my eyes off Elijah which is who I'm after. I teach the bottom and stand in front of elijah who's opening and closing his eyes trying to regain focus.

I cock the gun and at the sound Elijah's eyes go straight to me. I spread my feet and place my hands how my dad taught me that one time.

"Alex what are you doing?" I hear Noah ask. I ignore him and continue to stare at elijah. There's something in his eyes I can't figure out. All I know it's, it's not fear. It's almost like...

Like he's mocking me.

"You gonna shoot me Alex?" Elijah taunts still on the floor. I gulp and stay quiet, raising the gun and aiming it to his chest.

He spreads out on the floor like if he's making a snow angel.

"Go ahead. Shoot me." He looks me right in the eye and his mockery enrages me.

I narrow my eyes and press the trigger.

Click.

I squint my eyes and brace myself for the loud bang. It never comes. Confused I open my eyes and look at Elijah. He's still laying in the same position but now he's smiling. His smile turns into a giggle and then he's cackling.

"Wha- why- what" I stutter. Uh oh. I stumble back lowering the gun. I want to open and it check for bullets but I'm shaking so bad now I'm not sure I'm going to be standing much longer. I look at Noah and I can't tell if he's relieved or confused. Probably both.

All of a sudden Elijah jumps up like a ninja and shoves the gun away from my hand.

I squeal terrified as his hands go up to my neck and he slams me on the stairs.

"Do you think I'm stupid?!" He screams. His eyes and veins are bulging and I'm scared they might explode all over my face.

"I knew the moment the gun was gone! You think I wouldn't check? You clean my room I'm not stupid. I knew you would find it. I didn't think you'd be stupid enough to hide it in the same room." He chuckles and digs into his pockets taking out bullets.

My eyes tear up and the tears start falling. Oh God. I'm so dead. This is it. I'm going to die. I look into Elijah's eyes pleading him silently to spare my life. All I see is emptiness, coldness, nothing.

He shoves me again and I hit the floor hard, I stay there not daring to move. Elijah moves to pick up the gun but Noah beats him to it.

"Noah give me the fucking gun." Elijah whispers.

"No." Noah replies. They stare at each other and all of a sudden I start to feel dizzy. Confused I hold my head but freeze when my fingers touch something gooey, sticky. I look at my hand and see red. I'm bleeding.

I look back up, my vision blurry. Elijah runs towards Noah tackling him to the ground. Noah grunts and he sounds like he's in serious pain. I can't move. I'm frozen in fear and pain. I feel myself slipping in and out of consciousness and no matter how hard I fight it my eyes are closing.

All of a sudden I hear a loud bang. The bang is so loud, it hurts my head even more and next thing I know..I'm in a hospital.
