Chapter 49- Gun Shots
Annie closed her eyes, and Hayden laughed madly, and he pulled the trigger. The shot exploded and Annie waited for the pain, which did not come. She heard something heavy hit cement, and so she threw open her eyes, staring in disbelief as Jayden and Hayden wrestled for the pistol which sat only a foot in front of them.
Annie tried to wriggle a hand loose from the rope, but it was no use. She began to kick at the rope, but she had forgotten about the gun wound on her leg. She screamed in pain, which caused Jayden to look up, and gave Hayden enough time to punch Jayden firmly in the mouth.
Annie watched in horror as Hayden threw Jayden off of him, and made for the gun, but as his hand touched the handle, Jayden threw himself on top of Hayden and the gun slipped over to Annie, and fell just before her right foot.
Annie kicked desperately while the two boys struggled with each other. Annie felt the rope around her ankle loosen a little and she kicked up, releasing her leg from the bondage.
She saw Hayden once again reach for the gun, and so she stomped firmly on Hayden's hand. A loud cracking noise emitted from Hayden's knuckles. He screamed in pain, and Annie knew she had broken his hand.
Hayden turned, and kicked Jayden hard in the stomach. Jayden toppled over, groaning in pain. Hayden pulled a knife from his front pocket, and stared at Annie with disgust.
Jayden stood behind him, and Hayden whipped around quickly, glaring at Jayden. Jayden stood a few feet away, staring at Hayden, waiting for Hayden to make a move.
Hayden suddenly lurched at Jayden. Jayden moved to the side, dodging the knife, and hitting it, triumphantly out of Hayden's hand.
Jayden Hit Hayden over the head, and Hayden collapsed into a heap on the floor. Jayden didn't hesitate. He walked to Annie and with the knife Hayden had pulled on him, he cut the ropes behind Annie's back, and the one that tied her left leg to the chair.
Annie tried to stand, but she ended up falling on top of Jayden. "Careful…" He said, helping her return to the chair. "You shouldn't try to walk on that leg."
Annie whimpered in pain. Jayden kneeled before her, taking her hand. "Hold still." Jayden said, and he tenderly lifted Annie's leg to rest on his knee. He gently inspected it and then liked up at Annie. "I think I need to go get help." He said and he turned to leave.
"Wait!" Annie said. Hayden turned back looking slightly surprised. Annie looked from Josh to Hayden then over to Jayden. "What about…" She didn't finish, for Jayden did so for her.
"Your fiancé?" He asked.
Annie looked to the ground. "How long have you known?"
"I heard you through your dressing room door." He said.
Annie let a tear fall down her cheek.
"You stay with him." Jayden said. "I know where we are. I can find someone to help." He closed the knife and tucked it into his pocket.
"How do you…" Annie started, looking up, but Jayden was gone.
Annie reached down and grabbed the gun. She held it in one and with the other and her good leg she made her was over to Josh. She dropped, painfully onto the floor, and grabbed Josh's hand.
Annie burst into loud, choking tears. A sudden groan came from behind her, in Hayden's direction. Annie turned and stared at him with horror, as he rose to his feet, his head dripping small amounts of blood.
He spotted Annie on her place on the floor and looked down, gravely upon her. After a few seconds, he began exclaiming curse words at her, and he charged. "I'll kill you both!" He yelled.
Annie panicked, not knowing what to do. The pistol in her hand seemed to become far heavier, and Annie raised it slowly to point at Hayden's chest. Closing her eyes, she pulled the trigger.
Hayden halted. Annie opened her eyes just in time to see Hayden fall over . In a bloody lifeless heap on the floor.
