Just an idea, I don't know if I should continue or not. Reviews would be nice, nothing too harsh please.

This chapter is like the ending and the rest will be leading up to this part.

Review.


Chapter One

I was torn.

Torn in two.

Go with my family or the people who protected me.

The choice shouldn't have been so hard but it was.

There I stood, between two men who were very different yet alike in a way. Each held a gun pointed in my direction. One side held freedom, the other a prison. One meant pain while the other happiness. The oblivious choice would have been to go to the one where I would be happy. If I did so, someone was going to die and I held every person close to my heart. I felt if I went either way, I would be killed. One side for being a traitor, the other for knowing too much. It was a no win situation that I couldn't get out of.

The man on the left was my father, the man responsible for me going through great lengths just to get far from. He wasn't a father to me. He wanted to have a son who could take over his 'business' of drug dealing and illegal gun selling. Since I was a female, he hated me. I was used as his punching bag for many years earning a few scars and cracked ribs. He was blessed with a son a few years later and I was ignored. He simply didn't care about me and neither did my mother. She let him hurt me. I finally had enough and got emancipated. The battle was long and hard but in the end, I won. No matter how much money he gave, the judge wasn't going to be bribed off.

The man to my right was not my father but I wished he was. He would have been a great man. He was the one who gave me a second chance at life. He made me see what I thought I forgot. Yet he was the one who would take away that chance if I went with my father. Either way I was screwed.

"Choose." Father growled impatiently. He would have shot me dead if he had not given me his word that he would let me choose. I wasn't under his control anymore and he knew that. Why couldn't I choose?

By the time I knew it my feet were moving towards the man who barged into the room to get me. He was an odd man, he was a killer and yet he came for me. This was my family. He was my father even though we were not blood. I stood beside him glaring at the man who dared to get rid of everything I had. An arm went around my shoulder, pulling me behind and away from danger. I wanted to just stay there and watch my father's face flare with betrayal. He was so damn confident I would go with him. He didn't know me at all.

"Skylar." He said and I cringed. I didn't like that name. He always said my name with anger. I couldn't brace myself for the next string of events.

My father pointed the gun at me, his finger on the trigger. Two shots rang out, a blood curling scream emitting from me as I fell to the floor in pain. The doors bursting open, more people and shooting. Someone dragging me away quickly but gently. I didn't know the person so I tried to fight getting dizzy real fast.

A hand going over my mouth as darkness clouded my vision.

No...
