Chapter 19:
Seyia sat there angrily in the bush. They had been sitting in the bush for two hours. He thought they would've been back by now. Alan glanced over at Seyia and saw him sitting there with an angry look on his face. Alan sighed, he knew Seyia wasn't used to waiting. "They'll be back soon." Alan whispered to Seyia.
Before Seyia could say anything he saw the car pull up to the house. The two men looked at each other and back over at the car to wait and see. Darien got out of the drivers side and walked around to the passenger's side to open the door for Serena. Seyia looked over at Alan and saw that he had his gun raised. He waited until Darien was in sight before…there was a loud noise. Alan had fired the gun. Another loud noise, again he had fired the gun.
…
Darien and Serena had been walking back up to the house when Darien felt a pain in his chest. A minute later he felt another. Darien let go of Serena's hand and fell to the ground wincing in pain. Serena had no idea what was going on. First Darien had her hand and then he didn't. She had heard a gun shot though, but she didn't know how close it was. "Darien? Are you there?" She asked as she groped around in the darkness for him. She was worried. What had happened?
…
Raye was upstairs reading a book in her room when she heard a gun shot. She set her book down on her bed. She then ran over to the window to see what was going on. She gasped when she saw Darien on the ground and Serena feeling around for him. Raye grabbed a coat and ran out of her room.
She ran down the hall and pounded on her father's door. The door opened and Derrick had an annoyed look on his face. "What?" He asked.
"Something's happened to Darien." She told her father.
Derrick looked at her in shock. "Then what are we standing here for then."
….
Seyia smiled at Alan after Darien feel to the ground. He was about to leave the spot when the front door opened and two people came outside. "We should go." Alan said.
Seyia just nodded. The two men got up without being seen and ran over to their car. Alan then started the car and they drove away. Seyia looked behind them as the scene as they got smaller and smaller. He might not have had Serena at that moment but he knew he would one day. Also if Darien didn't die this time, he would try again until he was dead.
….
Serena tried to feel her way around until she felt someone grab her hand. "Darien?" She asked.
Raye sighed. "No Serena, it's me Raye." Raye told the shaking blonde.
"Raye?" She asked. "What's going on?"
Raye sighed again. "Serena, something happened to Darien. We're not sure what, but did you hear anything?" Raye asked the blonde.
Serena nodded. "I thought I heard a gun shot, but I didn't know how close it was." She told Raye as she began to cry.
Raye was about to say something when Derrick cleared his throat. "Sorry to interrupt you two girls, but Raye could you for an ambulance? He's unconscious and he's been shot. That was probably the gun shot you heard." He told Serena as Raye ran into the house and dialed 911.
A few minutes later Raye came back outside. "An ambulance is on the way. I also called the police and asked them to meet us at the hospital." She told them.
Derrick nodded before turning his attention back to his son. He hoped that Darien was going to live. Why did this happen? He was going to ask Serena once they got to the hospital.
