Dangerously Unusual novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

***

I knew I was dead until I realized I was hanging in the air. Crying, I opened my eyes to see that Anthonio had caught my wrist.

"Hold on!" he yelled as he tried to pull me up. My soul was leaving my body. I was scared to death. I didn't want to look down. There I was, hanging from a high building, a few seconds away from death. I was crying like crazy.

"Give me your other hand so I lift you."

My eyes were on his, I raised my right hand to hold his.

"STOP!" Rudolf screamed through the window of the room we'd just left. His men were already on the roof and were slowly making their way toward us. They shot as they approached.

"OH MY GOD! ANTHONIO!" I screamed afraid. Bullets were shot but so far had missed us or would hit close to us! Anthonio still tried to pull me up. As he did, Rudolfo shot him in the shoulder. I screamed afraid as he groaned out in pain letting go of my right hand. I saw blood ooze rapidly out of his shoulder!

"Anthonio! Oh, my god!" I screamed, realizing we might both die. I was swinging and I felt his hand begin to slip! His wound was weakening him!

"I'm... I'm coming!" he grunted in pain.

"W...what?!?" I asked confused. br To my shock, he let go of my left hand!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" I was falling! I closed my eyes and all I could see was death. I stopped breathing. It was over.

** br SPLASH!

I found myself in water. In a pool! I immediately swam out of it. I tried to catch my breath! It was a horrible experience. I lay by the pool, coughing and trying to breathe. I thought of running but I couldn't. I realized it was too dangerous for me to walk about that property, without Anthonio.

"Well, well, well." someone said and I turned in shock. The huge brat that had molested me stood right there! His gun pointed at me. I swallowed and slowly stood up.

"Don't move!" he growled.

"P....please..." I was so scared.

"Shut up! I'm go-na kill you right now!" he growled. He adjusted his gun and I closed my eyes, awaiting the worse and praying.

BOOM!

I shook.
