You quickly open your eyes when you heard the click. The gun didn't go off...
Shit....
Joseph ends up tackling you to the ground as the gun slides across the room. He holds your arms down. You just lie there and stare at him, seeing the anger in his eyes
Joseph: Why?! Why would you do that Eden?! Are you insane?! You'd take your own life and let us all burn?!
John comes in
John: Joseph I heard yelling what is...
John sees him on top of you. He smirks
John: Should I leave you two alone?
Joseph: John, the gun!
John sees it
John: What the hell?
He quickly grabs it
Joseph: Check how much ammo is in it
He does
John: It's a full round
Both you and Joseph look at him. John looks at you then at the gun
John: Did she try to kill you brother?
Joseph: Yes then she tried to...
He closes his eyes while looking away
Joseph: She tried to take her own life but God stopped her
John: The gun was loaded and the safety was off; are you sure she even pulled the trigger?
He opens his eyes
Joseph: I know what I saw John. Help me with her
John unloads the gun then goes over to you guys. John grabs your arms and lifts you off the ground, standing you up. You're looking down at the ground. Joseph stands as well then puts his hands on your shoulders. You stay looking down while he starts praying to God to forgive you for your actions. Once he was done, he puts his hands on your cheeks and makes you look at him
Joseph: Eden, I'm very angry with you. Instead of giving me the gun you foolishly try taking your own life. Do you not see now? You had a gun filled with bullets and you pulled the trigger on yourself but nothing happened. God will NOT let you die no matter what. You ARE The Prodigy don't you see it now?
You try looking down but he forces your head back you
Joseph: Don't you see it now?!
You quickly nod
Joseph: Don't you believe in him now?!
You quickly nod again
Joseph: Don't you believe in me?!
You nod more
Joseph: Good. I forgive you child
He puts his head on yours
Joseph: Take her back to her room John then come back here. I need to talk to you
John: Yes Joseph
You look down again. John puts his hands on your shoulder and starts leading you out of the church. You look back at Joseph. You see this angry disappointed look on his face so you look back at the ground as you and John walk out. Joseph sits down, clasps his hands together, and closes his eyes
Joseph: Forgive me Father for what I'm about to do
You and John walk through the halls. You hear a familiar sound of army boots coming your way. A hand suddenly stops you from moving. You look and see burns on his arms. You know exactly who it is but keep your head down
