Chapter 6

A life in my hands

Harry stood at the door of Starwind and Hawking. He didn't exactly have a plan for this moment. He just followed his heart. Harry opened the door.

"Gene show your face!" Harry roared.

Gene came forward with a castor about to shoot Harry in the head.

"What do you want Harry?" Gene said gritting his teeth.

"Melfina and I spoke the truth. What you did to her was unacceptable! You have no right to even be around her. And look at you with your little Castor gun. Are you afraid to even talk to me without having that to protect you?" Harry said enraged.

Gene had never been so pissed.

"Why are you even talking? You're a monster! Look what you've done you've completely turned Melfina against me!"

"Wrong Gene. You've turned against Melfina. Look I don't care about me. I just want her to be happy. I'll always be here to protect her."

"Take that back!" Gene said about to cock his gun.

"I won't. Accept the fact Gene. You've never wanted to do anything with Melfina. I on the other hand would give her all the moons on Jupiter. As you saw back at the Leyline I died for her. Now what've you done?"

Gene couldn't take it any longer. He aimed his gun at Harry's torso and shot. Harry fell to the floor in a pool of blood. Gene stood there looking at his hands. The castor fell with a clatter to the ground. Gene ran out of the building to find Melfina.

Melfina left before Harry was gunned down. She left to find Harry. To perhaps stop his pursuit of Gene Starwind.

To her horror she could be too late..

Gene found Melfina and they were in the middle of a standoff.

"Melfina! Thank God your ok!" Gene said in relief.

"Where's Harry?" Melfina asked worried.

"Don't worry about him Mel. I killed him" Gene said with a smirk.

"NOOOOO!" Melfina screamed in horror.

"Mel I don't get it." Gene said in awe.

"He's my friend. He did nothing to me and you killed him!" Melfina said with teary eyes.

"So what I thought was true. You do love Harry."

"I don't know. Is that why you killed him?"

"He's a psycho Mel. He's best left to die."

"You mean he's not dead?"

"He's currently dying in a pool of his own blood."

"Then theirs still hope!"

Melfina rushed away from Gene and to Starwind and Hawking. There she saw Harry laying almost perfectly still.

"HARRY!" Melfina screamed in horror.

She picked him up and put him a healing tank. Gene got it a few months ago just in case of a major battle.

Melfina then had the water on and his body floated in the tank. It reminded her of herself in the XGP.

The process began.

"His life is in my hands." Melfina said holding her hands to her breast.
