The mercy of a gun
I do not own Ben 10
In this story Ben and Gwen are learning in the same class but are perfectly human. Gwen doesn't have her magic and Ben doesn't have the omintrix. We rejoin them during history class at school.
"… and that's how we were able to declare our independence in…" his speech was interrupted by a sound of a gunshot. An eerie silence has fallen upon the classroom.
Suddenly an unknown voice was heard through the school's loud speaker
"This is Tom Johnson, you are now our hostages, and until your government meets our demands you are at our mercy. I want everyone in the back yard. Now!" and the loud speaker went silent.
Everyone began to scream in fear as the teacher tried to calm them down
"Don't panic people! I'm sure the authorities have everything under control. Now let's go to the back yard before something bad happens"
The students nodded as everyone started to walk towards the back yard
Moments later
Everyone was sitting on the soccer field in the school's back yard. Gwen was sitting next to Ben and she was very nervous. She grabbed Ben's hand in fear which made him blush slightly but he gave it a little squeeze which made her feel better.
"Alright listen up people!" Yelled one of the terrorists
"Our demands from the government are that they release some of our prisoners and two million dollars. For every hour that we wait, we execute one of you. So you better start praying…"
An utter silence has fallen on the crowd. There were two men with machine guns looking at them and they were wearing bulletproof vests. So it was a problem of getting rid of them. As much as they hated to admit it, they just had to wait and pray…
55 minutes have come and gone and still nothing. What's even more problematic is that there some other terrorists in the entrance t the school and apparently are doing their job well since the cops weren't able to get rid of the yet.
59 minutes have passed. One minute from now someone is going to die.
An hour has passed. One of the terrorists has walked towards the crowd, picked up a young brown haired skinny girl named Jenifer who happened to be Gwen' best friend. Gwen was now squeezing ben's hand so hard it hurt. The terrorist put the gun close t the little girl's head and pulled the trigger and she fell on the hard concrete floor. Gwen was now sobbing onto Ben's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Gwen…" he hugged her comfortingly as she continued to sob onto his chest
"He killed my best friend…" she sobbed
"I'm sorry Gwen…" he said again and hugged her more tightly and kissed her hair and tightened the embrace around her. The kiss that ben gave her made her feel slightly better. She just hoped they could make out of there alive…
One of the terrorists took his cellphone and put it on speaker and said to it
"You have just lost the life of a little girl. Next hour we wait, we execute two people. I suggest you start moving if you don't want these kids' blood on your conscience. Someone on the other side tried to say something but he was cut off since the terrorist hung up the phone…
20 minutes
Still nothing has happened. The kids have now become more and more tense
40 minutes
The kids were now so scared some of them were crying. Gwen was crying on ben's shoulder and he was crying on hers.
50 minutes
Still nothing, the tension was unbearable
60 minutes
One of the terrorists has walked into the crowd. Everyone has held their breaths in fear and tension. The terrorist took the gun out of his pants loaded it and picked up a blond kid named Timmy. He put the gun next to his head, cocked the gun and the next thing everyone knew, he was lying motionless on the ground. The terrorist then looked around and his eyes focused n Gwen. He walked towards her. Gwen was literally crying now and she was almost crushing ben's hand. Her face was so pale she almost looed anemic. He pointed the gun at her head but then Ben did something he never even thought doing he got up and tackled the gunman and the both fell to the ground and Ben stared beating him up, but the terrorist wasn't willing to tolerate this so he just threw ben off him and shot him in the shoulder and Ben screamed out in pain and the terrorist walked away
"Ben!" yelled Gwen and ran towards her now wounded cousin
"Ben! Are you alright?"
"It hurts… it hurts so badly…" groaned Ben
"Don't worry Ben we'll get you some help" said Gwen with tears in her eyes as she ripped the sleeve from her shirt and wrapped it wound him wound, and cleaned the blood with the other. Ben was now pale as Gwen was only it was because of loss of blood. She was beginning to fear that they are going to die there if they don't get elp soon. The just have to keep praying and hope for a miracle…
