I raised my gun, unable to say a word. Sure, he was young and could have a long future but after all my work I was not about to just give up so easily and surrender to this…this, kid.
He just stood there - staring at me. His suit was torn but he didn't seem to care. He didn't want to break eye contact with me. He was watching me for a chance to move.
I felt my hand shaking. Even though I had to, I just couldn't. I couldn't kill and innocent kid, even if it was my job. I had been on so many missions before and had no problems. Why was it that now I couldn't bring myself to do it? Why was it that when the FBI's secret rested on my shoulders I couldn't bring myself to rid the world of one more person?
I needed to do something though. Something before his friends came to save him. They were probably searching for him right now.
The wind wiped at my hair as the rain poured down on us. My hair wiped dangerously in front of my eyes almost obscuring my view. The only thing I could remember as I stared unwillingly at the child was the look on his face. He had no expression, none at all. No sign of fear or anger towards me. There was nothing on that blank face even though I knew he was capable of emotion.
Maybe that's what drove me to do it. Maybe that's what gave me the strength to finish my job. I didn't know what did it but I didn't care.
I hadn't realized it but I had dropped my gun to my side as I had thought. I raised my gun and took aim, careful not to miss.
And fired...
This is my first fanfic for Artemis Fowl that I actually like. If there are any errors in spelling or grammar or anything else please tell me. It would make me really happy if you pushed that little button on the bottom saying 'review'! ;)
I'm gonna leave this as a one-shot, I decided against a story. Thanks for the reviews!
Disclaimer: Don't own Artemis Fowl unfortunately. sigh
