My Gift To Her

Chapter Five
I raced around the barn, towards where I heard Tru scream. If anything happens to Tru, I don't know what I will do. I'll probably start with tearing the person responsible from limb to limb.
As I rounded the corner, I saw Tru, her hands in the air and she was pleading for her life. The man in black had his back to me and the gun pointed at Tru. I slowed down and snuck up behind the man. Then I tackled him to the ground and wrestled the gun from him. Once I had the gun in my hands, I shot the man in the shoulder and dropped the gun.
"If you come near her again, I swear I will kill you," I warned.
Tru looked at me, afraid. She was afraid of me.
"Tru, Fate only needs one life today, and the girl died. The horse hit the fence and she died, just like on day one. No one else needs to die," I explained to her.
"But you saved me. Why would you do that?" she asked, confused.
"It was my gift, Tru. My gift to you. I save your life and I also gave you Harrison's life. I could have made sure he died on day two, but I didn't. Don't you see the gifts that I have given you?"
"Yes, but you also stole Luc's life! I will never be able to forgive you for that!"
"Someone had to die that day, Tru. Luc was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Because you sent him there to die!" she accused.
"Would you rather it have been Harrison? Did you really want to watch your brother die twice? It could have been Harrison instead. Or Davis. I'm not all that picky."
"You act like lives are something to be toyed with!"
"We don't get to decide who lives and dies, Tru. Fate decides. I just help make Fate happy."
"You just like to take lives, Jack. You're Death!"
"You seem to have forgotten that I saved your life and I let your brother live! I'm also in the business of saving lives! Death is sometimes better for these people than life!"
"If you think that saving my life is going to make me stop, forget it. I'm never going to stop!" she screamed at me.
"I'm not asking you to. I look forward to the challenge. I was just making sure that you lived another day," I said with a smile as I walked over to my car and got in.
Tru glared at me and got in her car and drove away. I sighed. I saved her life but she still hated me. She still didn't see that I loved her and because I loved her, I made sure she lived and I made sure Luc died instead of Harrison. Oh well. One of these days, she would love me in return.
