“Don’t worry. I will get to the bottom of it.” Charlotte did not want to hold this out. “I just want to end you here and now.”
“Charlotte!” Zachary ran in just as she was about to pull the trigger. “Are you crazy?”
Sharon broke out in a psychotic laugh when she saw her savior. “You can’t kill me, Charlotte! Zachary promised to spare me. He still needs me to find out who that mysterious person is!”
“Shut up! No one is stopping me today.”
Bang!
Zachary fired a shot in Charlotte’s direction before she could do anything.
Charlotte looked up at him in indignation. “Stay out of this, Zachary Nacht! I’ll kill you if you stop me!”
“Charlotte, calm down! I know she deserves to die, but we have no idea who is the main culprit behind this yet,” Zachary said frantically, “Think about it, Charlotte. We’re out under broad daylight while the enemy is hiding in the dark. They can see our every move while we know nothing about them. They will target us again for sure.”
“I don’t care about what happens in the future.”
Charlotte was not buying anything he said.
“Your time is up, Sharon. I’ll send your ashes to your dad so he can ask for your forgiveness on his own. You can confront him all you want after you die.”
Her words debilitated Sharon. “No… You can’t kill me… I can’t die…”
Another lightning flashed through the night, lighting up the sky instantly.
The stormy weather elicited traumatic memories of everything that happened two years ago. Mrs. Berry’s gruesome death flashed back in her mind, launching a bard in her heart.
Charlotte could hear her painful screams resounding in her ears and a sinister smile curved on her lips. She moved her gun, pointing at Sharon’s legs.
“I shouldn’t just end you like that. I should give you a slow death!”
“Please…” Sharon shook her head in denial. “Have mercy, Charlotte…”
Bang!
A shot was directed at her thigh.
