Twist Of Fate
PikaDarkness
Chapter 12
RUN!
The water bubbled, ripples began to etch its way across the water. Emma nudged Jeff, who was oblivious to this and pointed at the water. He immediately stood up, dragging Emma to her feet with him. Suddenly three men just appeared from the water.
"Got you now Hardy!" One shouted.
Jeff's eyes widened, and he grabbed Emma's hand and sped off. His legs gave painful twinges but he ignored it, that was the least of his problems at the moment. They ran off the riverbank, so their stalkers (Well that's what their doing! Stalking them!) wouldn't have a clear target.
"How'd they find us?" Emma shouted, having a hard time keeping up with Jeff. "We made sure our tracks were hidden!"
Jeff pulled her, trying to keep her with him but he almost tripped her over. "I don't know, but what I do know is we should stop wondering and start running!"
"We are running! But if we're ever going to reach Team-"
"Our guns! We can shoot them! How the hell did we forget?" Jeff shouted suddenly, skidding to a halt and retrieving the guns from his bag. He took a clear aim at one of the three men running at them and took a shot, getting him straight through the head. He got the other in the chest and the last one through the neck.
"Nice shots!" Emma said, clapping her hands a bit. "Now we can rel-" but someone grabbed her from behind. "Ah!"
Jeff wheeled around, holding the gun out. His eyes widened at his captured daughter. "Let her go!" he shouted, trying his best to sound threatening but it didn't seem to have an affect on the captor.
"Yeah right, save your breath, I'm not releasing her." He snarled, he pulled a gun out and held it to Emma's head. "In fact if you don't cooperate... I'll kill her." he even cocked the gun to prove it.
Jeff was at a loss for what to do. He didn't want Emma killed, yet he didn't want to cooperate with a Team Rocket member. In the end, love won out. "Alright, what do you want me to do?"
"Go to Team Rocket Headquarters, we want you for our leader."
Jeff growled. "I told you lot before I am not becoming your leader!"
"Then die." and he pushed Emma into him and took a shot at the same time Jeff did. Emma dropped to the ground as the gunshots sounded. Someone dropped to the ground... she didn't see who.
"Emma are you ok?" Jeff was safe! He was alive!
"Dad!" Emma jumped up then leaped into Jeff's arm squeezing him tight. "Your alive!"
Jeff was almost knocked flat on his back as her weight crashed into him. "Yes, yes, I'm alive. Come on we have to keep moving!"
Emma released him and they walked off, hand-in-hand.
To Be Continued...
I decided not to leave it with the "Who got shot?" because I did that before and I don't want to bore you guys! So I dropped my cliff hanger and just went for the modern finish I don't usually do. But there's a first for everything!
