Chapter 12 – One shot, two shot, Three shot, Four
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Squall and I finally made it to the palace and the place is deserted! "Ehhh... What was the point of coming here?"
"Shhh, let's check the place out" Squall whispered and I start to drift about the place.
Quite relived that there was no sign of Sherry but worried that Laguna wasn't to be seen either.
"Rinoa look here" Squall called and said "It's my fathers will" as he picked up the papers.
"That's not yours sonny. So just hand it over" called a familiar voice.
We turn to look only to find Sherry with two men by her side, suited up... with guns...
"Say hello to your executioners. One for both of you" Sherry announced and gun fires went out to the ceiling.
I turned around quickly to grab a spear from the statue in the corner and pointed it to them "I have a spear and I know how to use it!" …Obviously they didn't take me seriously because they laughed in my face.
The phone rang and all three of them glanced around for the phone.
"Go fight Rinoa!" Squall hollered and shoved me to one of Sherry's men as he went to take on the other.
Sherry kept back gasping and rushed to another room in her heels. Unable to take my eyes off her I accidentally struck my executioners in the stomach when I turned around to see and he fell to the floor. "Sorry mister" I said and struck his leg. He yelped more than I ever would and I freaked when I saw all the blood. Three shots rang out as Squall knocked the man one in the gut and kicked him in the face. "I guess Zell isn't too bad of an influence"
"I bet these are her bitches" Squall said. "Woof doggies, woof" he joked as he stared down on them.
"This was easier than I thought... Sherry... She's in the other room!" I remembered and ran to the door way to the room.
Glaring in the room more and more as I ran I had a good view of Sherry pointing her gun directly at me, waiting.
"No Riona!" Squall called to me and pulled me back as she shot.
Scared of it and not to look I turned my head away with my hair wavering in the air. I fell to my butt and my eyes were in amazement. "...She missed" I said gladly and saw a piece of my hair shot off.
I sat and watched Squall run to Sherry. Just when she pulled the trigger he knocked her arm to the side making her shoot at a vase twice. He shoved her to the wall and she fell, hopefully lifeless.
My vision became a blurry but I saw Squall rush to me. I couldn't hear him but the loud noise of a shot and a shot again...... I don't know why but I feel so sad, I feel the urge to scream but I just closed my eyes hard. Squall held me and I finally felt the pain, the throbbing, in my shoulder. "Ohhh… You son of a aahhhhh!!!" I yelled, tossed and turned in his arms.
"It hurts doesn't it?" Sherry spoke.
"Sherry! Where's Laguna?! " Squall questioned.
"He's tied up on the roof. I wish not to get my hands dirty but since you killed the men that should have killed him... I'll tell everyone you killed your father and then committed suicide. Poor me in agony from my loss will get everything your father left behind." Sherry said with a kinky voice already on her feet with her gun.
"You…" Squall released hold of me and walked up to Sherry
"Not one more step. Any closer and I shoot"
