Chapter Eight
Sophie tried to dive in front of the bullet but it was to late. It had hit Scott in the left arm. David suddenly realized what he had done. "Oh fuck!" He muttered. He stared at Sophie. "Look I'm sorry. If he dies oh well. People die." He said. Then, as if to prove his point, he held the gun to his head. "How about we play Russian Rulette? You know how to play. You were a regular person not taking care of stupid kids at one point in your life. If you refuse to play I'll play with Scottie boy." He said.
She took a shaky breath. She knew how to play perfectly well. She had never done, she had been to scared and to smart. but she knew, for Scott's sake, that she had to. "Just a minute!" She snapped and took off Scott's shirt and wrapped it around his wound.
"I want to see the gun." She demanded when she was ready. He rolled his eyes and handed it to her. She checked the chambers and took a bullet from him. She slid it into one and spun it and click it into place. "You first." He demanded. She sighed and shaky breath and began to pray. Please, Lord, not for my sake but for Scott's, let me be okay, and Scott... She prayed.
"Go on alreayd," He demanded. She stood up and held the gun into place at her head. "You kill Scott and I swear..." She mumbled. "If you're dead what the hell does it matter?" He snarled. She sighed another shaky breath and prayed one last time. And pulled the trigger.
When nothing happened she felt like throwing up and sat down next to Scott. "I'm okay," He muttered while waking up. "Shhh...it's okay," She whispered. "You go!" She yelled at him, tired of his games.
David shruged. He had played before. He had seen people's heads explode. No biggie for him. It just got him outta the world. He took the bullet out and repeated the process then held it to his head. "Pray for me," He said sarcastically, hoping it would get him.
Sophie closed her eyes tightly and shielded Scott's eyes. "Get your ass over there!" She yelled, pointing far away. "Oh gee, don't like blood?" He mumbled but obeyed. He took in a breath-not shaky, not a trusting one. He pulled the gun. BOOM!
The gun went off and so did his brain matter. Sophie screamed and Scott cried out. "God, no..." She cried, thanking that she didn't see it. She wasn't about to even attempt to see it. She jumped up and looked for the door. When she found one she picked Scott up. "Can you walk?" She asked. He nodded. "But with your help," He said. She nodded and helped him out the door and was met by a crying Kristin and a bewildered Shelby. "She said she heard two gun shots...oh my God, Scott!" Shelby cried, which made Kristin start to bawl when she saw his arm.
"I'm fine..." He said. "This shirt is getting really bloody, I need something else," Sophie mumbled. "We'll find one when we get to the town or whatever!" Shelby exclaimed. "You're right we can't waste anymore time," Sophie mumbled, nodding. "W-where's David?" Kristin asked. Sophie closed her eyes, she had been hoping Kristin wouldn't ask that.
"He killed himself," Sophie said softly. "He was playing Russion Rulette!" Kristin exclaimed through her tears. "What? How did0-" "He use to make me play it. We'd play it with him, me and a friend of his once. Except his friend was killed. His brain and blood got on me..." She sobbed, the horrible images coming back to her. "Shh...it's okay," Sophie said. Kristin walked up to Scott. "i'm sorry, Scott! If I hadn't been here he would've never done that!" She cried, hugging him tightly on his un-hurt side. "Shh..shorty, I'm fine, it's not your faulght," He whispered into her ear, kissing the top of her head.
They started walking and finally came upon a town. "Call an ambulance!" Kristin screamed to a guy in a store. "What? Why?" "JUST DO IT! My cousin was shot! Hurry up!" She yelled at him. He quickly did, more for fear of the small kid who was threatening him with the tone of her voice and her fists.
An ambulance drove up and the EMT people jumped out and put Scott on a stretcher. "I need to ride with him! None of us have a ride, we'll explain later," Sophie exclaimed hastily. "Get the kids in the car adn get in the passenger seat and don't be a bother to the EMT's," The driver commanded. Sophie obeyed, telling the kids to call Horizon when they reached wherever the police man took them.
Kristin and Shelby later arrived at the police station after explaining everything to the officer. "You know that man, Peter Scarbrow, really cares about you two. Even if one of you is not his daughter." The police officer commented as they jumped out. Kristin and Shelby stopped and glanced at the officer. "We care alot about him to," Shelby said and they ran in the station.
