Blood Bath, War Path
The shot rang out loudly in the room, she gasped, her gun held tightly in her hand, it hadn't been fired. She didn't pull the trigger, she knew she didn't, she hadn't had the chance. Her weapon fell to the floor and she turned to face Luis, she could barely see his face, even though the the light switch had been flipped on.
There was an uneasy silence in the room. The events from the last few seconds were now registering in her mind. Then she noticed it, the pain, she clutched the right side of her chest, gasping in pain. She heard commotion in the room but none of it made sense. She was falling, falling to the ground when two strong male arms grasped her, lowering her down slowly.
Everything was getting darker, much darker and then everything was black. She felt nothing, she heard nothing, "Jax" she whispered.
Brenda stared in shock, "Is she?" was all she could get out.
"No" Luis yelled.
"There's so much blood." Brenda stammered to get out.
Jax leaned down beside her, "Skye, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me, I didn't mean to." He placed his hand over her chest and pulled it back quickly as he felt warm liquid on the palm of his hand. Skye's blood.
He got no response, she shook her gently, placing his hand over the bullet wound, "Skye, please, say something."
"You...shot......me." Skye said in between gasps
"It was an accident, I didn't mean to, I'm going to get you help though, you're going to be alright."
"Why?" Skye breathed out and then fell back into her darkness.
"This is your fault Jax, why did you come in here and make everything worse?" Luis questioned as he searched for his cell phone.
"She was going to kill Brenda." Jax said in defense.
He opened the phone and began to dial 911. "So you shoot her to stop her? Whatever happened to conversation, let's talk things out? Violence isn't the way to solve things?"
Jax' mind was reeling, "I wasn't thinking."
"You're damned right you weren't thinking." Luis yelled.
"What is your emergency?" The operator asked
"My girlfriend has been shot, we're at 5874 Cottage Lane, hurry." Luis turned off his cell phone and placed it back in his pocket.
He knelt down next to her, feeling for a pulse, he found a weak unsteady rhythm, but it was a rhythm, "That's it Skye, just hang on." He brushed to hair away from her face and placed his hand over her bullet wound.
As Luis was trying his best to get Skye to hang on, Brenda and Jax were arguing, their voice filled the background.
"I can't believe she was going to kill you." Jax said shaking his head.
Brenda looked at him through cold eyes, "I can't believe you shot her, that was so inhuman. What were you thinking?"
"I said I wasn't."
"Well, I only see one way out of this." Brenda yelled as she grabbed the gun out of his hand.
"What's that?" He questioned, not really caring at the moment.
"Skye's dying, because of you, You'll go to prison, I'll shoot you and Luis and I can be together forever."
"Brenda, you wouldn't"
Brenda raised the gun up towards Jax's chest, "I would."
Her hand gripped the gun tighter and she placed her finger over the trigger and before she knew what she was doing, she fired the gun. Her aim was slightly off, hitting him in the abdomen but nonetheless hitting him.
Luis turned his attention to Brenda and then to Jax as he fell to the ground.
Brenda watched as Jax fell to the ground, she couldn't believe what she had just done, she stood still, her hands, closed tightly around the gun, a tear ran down her cheek, "What have I done?" She snapped out of her trance and rushed over to Jax, "Jax, are you all right?"
He gave no response so Brenda shook him, "Jax?, Jax?" Still nothing.
Luis got up from the floor, "Brenda, why did you shoot him?"
"Because I want us to be together."
"That doesn't give you the right to shoot him."
"But, Luis, you don't understand, Jax shot Skye, I was just trying to protect her, he can't hurt her now."
"Brenda, Jax wasn't a threat to Skye, he didn't mean to shoot her."
"But, he did."
"I know but, I'm here for Skye now, I'm going to protect her, I would have taken care of Jax."
"No." Brenda screamed
"No, what?"
"You're suppose to protect me." She screamed, her voice was childlike.
Luis looked at her sympathetically, "I love Skye and I'm always going to be there for her, to protect her."
"You don't love her you love me."
"No, Brenda, I'm in love with Skye."
"No, no, you're not, you're just saying that to make me mad."
"I'm saying it because it's the truth."
While they continued to argue, Skye's eyes fluttered open and she tried to focus on something in the room, she seen someone laying on the floor only feet away from her, but she couldn't tell who it was.
She tried to sit up a bit and then she seen it. The gun was laying only inches away from her. As she reached for it, the voices in the background grew louder and more angry. She grasped the gun with her left hand.
She looked up to the site before her, Brenda was holding a gun up to Luis. Skye tried to take a deep breath, but all the pain was too much. Brenda would never shoot Luis, she kept telling herself. Brenda loves him, she loves him, she wouldn't kill him, she wouldn't do anything to harm him.
As Brenda pulled the trigger for the second time that night, Skye watched the bullet fly out of the gun and it hit Luis but, she couldn't tell where, it was as if she was watching it in slow motion. like it wasn't really happening. Maybe it was all a dream, maybe none of it was real.
Then she seen the blood pour out of him and knew it as all too real.
Skye knew what she had to do, she had no other choice, she raised to gun up, closed her eyes and without aiming fired it into the room. Her eyes remained closed as a cry of pain escaped from Brenda, then she heard something hit the floor with a bang.
Slowly she opened her eyes, Brenda was standing across the room, holding on to her right side. She let out several sighs of pain and then slide down onto the floor, she looked over at Skye, "You shot me."
"Well, you were the only one that wasn't shot so I thought what the hell, what goes around comes around."
Brenda covered her side with her hands, "It really hurts."
"You were hit in the side, I was hit in the chest, whose do you think hurts worse?"
"If you were hit in the chest then why are you still talking and moving and alive?" Brenda asked coldly.
She held her hand tightly over her chest, she looked down to see her white blouse turning red, "Because I was hit on my right side and because I think it bounced off a bone."
Everything then fell silent.
Skye heard the sirens in the distance and as they came up the driveway, then the force opening the front door and the loud yelling and stampede of feet rushing up the stairs.
Two female paramedics loaded her up on a stretcher and took her out of the cottage, while more attended to the other three.
Skye was in and out of it the entire ride to General Hospital, but she did hear one medic say that there was one dead body on the scene the question was who?
