The Test

The light from the lamp blinded him for a while, but when the bright light subsided from his eyes, he was able to see three pairs of menacing eyes staring at him.
"We've been waiting for you Jamie," said Isaac, his eyes glinting maliciously.
"What have you done with Sam?!" demanded Jamie. Sarah, with an evil smile, extended a finger to his right. He looked and gasped.
Sam was gone. Blood flowed like a river from the deep gash on her neck. The last of his friends was gone, and he was left all alone to face his fear.
"Monsters!" spat Jamie, losing a little bit of balance because of the lost blood in his brain.
"Aren't we all?" said Isaac, spreading his palms upward as if it were a shrug. Sarah and Jonathan smiled maliciously.
"What do you want with me?" asked Jamie through gritted teeth and while gripping his severed arm.
"Well," said Isaac crossing his legs "It's basically an offer really. Just one simple thing."
"And what would that be?" asked Jamie still glaring at them. They never flinched.
"To join us," said Isaac in his most convincing voice "To be spared of your life, be a legend that you have survived the vicious Vladimirs. But you will work with us, hunt with us, plan with us, kill with us." At this point, he got up from his chair and strode towards him.
Isaac looked him straight in the eye. Jamie felt something cold run down his spine. He could see the dark bags under his eyes and the blood red lines of insanity in his eyes. His hair was tangled, but appeared neat under the hat he wore. Jonathan and Sarah looked uncertain at the way their father was advancing towards Jamie.
"Together Jamie, we can rid the world from the evil of the world," he whispered "Join us…and we will achieve justice."
Jamie was speechless for a while, but composed himself at the last minute. He stared back at Isaac with hard eyes.
"With the way you're doing it," he whispered back "No thanks." Isaac smiled, as if he expected that answer.
"I should've guessed," he said returning to his seat "Jonathan, finish him off."
"What?!" exclaimed Jamie "No!!"
"You heard me," said Isaac "It was either join us or be killed."
"You didn't state any option!" protested Jamie, watching in horror as Jonathan pulled out a revolver.
"I thought it was pretty obvious, daddy," said Sarah, looking at him pathetically.
"It was," agreed Isaac.
"Can't you just let me go and get over it?!" cried Jamie as Jonathan was loading the gun.
"Jamie," said Isaac in a menacing voice "No one EVER leaves the Vladimir house alive. Now…" He looked at his son and smiled. "Finish him."
Jonathan cocked the gun in place and took an aim. Jamie waited in anticipation. Might as well, I'm gonna die anyway…
But for some reason, Jonathan was hesitating. His finger was tight on the trigger and he was very calm. But he couldn't pull it. He had no intention to.
"What are you waiting for?" demanded his father. Jamie stared at him curiously. Why isn't he shooting?
"I said shoot, boy!" shouted Isaac. Jonathan flexed his fingers around the gun and took aim again. But he couldn't bring himself to shoot.
"Don't tell me he's taking sympathy!" exclaimed Sarah. Jaime looked at Jonathan in surprise. Sympathy from a Vladimir??
"What are you waiting for dammit? Shoot the damn gun!" shouted Isaac cursing. Jonathan held his finger on the trigger. No one knew why he didn't shoot yet.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? SHOOT THE BOY!!_ screamed Isaac rising from his seat.
BANG.
