Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, alerted and/or favorited!
Author's Note: everything is happening concurrently in this chapter again. you will hear everybody's point of view leading up to the gun shot.
I don't own Veronica Mars.
And then she screamed.
I turned my head just in time to see Duncan raise the gun towards us and without thinking I angled my self in between him and Veronica and Dick who was still standing there with me.
I was looking at Veronica, because she was all that mattered, she was all that had ever mattered.
All of a sudden the slow motion was gone, everything sped up and I heard a shot ring out.
Veronica
I saw him and my heart leapt.
When Dick finally noticed him he ran towards him meeting him halfway, everything felt like it was in slow motion.
Logan pulled me into his arms and I felt safe again. I put my arm around his neck and said his name just for the sake of saying it and I almost cried when he smile at me.
And then I saw Wallace out of the corner of my eye and I heard him yell at Logan.
I looked at the house and saw Duncan running towards us with the gun and I screamed.
Before I knew it Logan had turned us around and he was between Duncan and I.
He looked down at me and I returned his gaze, he was all that mattered, he was all that had ever mattered.
And then the world sped back up.
Weevil
He saw them before I did.
I didn't see them until he yelled at me to stop and jumped out of the car.
V was in Dick's arms and he was running towards us. She was covered in bruises and her arm was in a sling, I felt a rage grow with in me, so I grabbed the gun that CW had given me.
I saw Logan get to them and then I saw Duncan Kane running at them with a gun in his hand.
I yelled at Logan but he didn't hear me, the three of them were still standing there.
I jumped out of the car and as I started to run towards Duncan, I looked over and saw Veronica in Logan's arms.
And then I heard her scream and I watched as Logan put himself between them and Duncan.
I looked back at Duncan just in time to see him aim the gun at Logan's back and I took aim myself.
CW
I was directly behind Mr. Navarro's car when he slammed on his brakes and I nearly hit them.
I watched as Mr. Echolls ran from the car and I followed in close pursuit.
When I reached Mr. Navarro who was still in the car I saw Miss Mars and Mr. Casablancas, she had extensive injuries, but I had no time for a better look as I caught a glimpse of Duncan running towards them from the house.
I yelled at Mr. Echolls just as Mr. Navarro did and he joined me as we ran towards the house in Duncan's direction.
When I heard Miss Mars scream I looked over just in time to see Mr. Echolls turn around shielding her and Mr. Casablancas and I aimed my own gun as I watched Duncan aim his at Logan Echolls…..
Wallace
I jumped out of the car the minute it stopped, I knew why Logan had run from Weevil's car and I followed him, running past both Weevil and CW.
I caught up to Logan just as he took V from Dick's arms and then I saw Duncan with the gun.
I yelled at Logan, he didn't hear me, but V did.
I couldn't believe what he had done to her, I wanted to kill him.
She saw Duncan too and she screamed causing Logan to finally turn around.
And then I watched as he put himself in the line of fire.
He was looking right into V's eyes the whole time….
Dick
She saw him before I did.
I could see it in her eyes when I looked back at her after seeing Duncan at the front door.
I watched as Logan jumped from the car and came straight to us, I handed her over to him immediately and watched as she put her good arm around his neck.
Then I realized that everybody was yelling at Logan and that Wallace was standing only 2 feet away.
Ronnie's scream brought me back to reality and when I turned around, Logan wasn't in front of me anymore, he was behind me.
His back was turned to Duncan Kane…..
Leo
It all happened so fast I almost didn't realize what was going on until it was too late.
I made it out of the car with Meg right behind me as I ran to the rest of the group.
I saw Duncan with the gun at the same time as Weevil and CW and I yelled at Logan as well.
He had veronica in his arms, he hadn't seen Duncan
And when she screamed I watched as he finally noticed Duncan and he turned himself in front of him, with his back turned keeping Veronica out of the path of his gun.
When I reached for my own gun I realized it wasn't there…...
Duncan
All he saw was Logan.
He watched as he ran from the car.
And his stomach turned as he looked over the scene.
When Logan took Veronica from Dick he snapped again.
She was his and nobody was going to take her from him.
He was oblivious to everything else.
He heard her scream when she saw him and he pointed the gun at her.
He wouldn't let her get away.
He refused to lose her again.
And then he saw Logan turn around to protect her.
He hated Logan Echolls.
So he aimed the gun at his back…
Meg
I followed Leo out of the car, I was behind him the entire time and when I saw Veronica in Logan's arms I started to cry, I couldn't believe what he had done to her and in that moment I snapped.
All the hurt he had caused, all the pain he had inflicted, it all hit me at once and I realized I hated him, I hated everything about him.
I blamed him for every horrible thing that had happened in the past few years and I detested him for putting me in the position I was in.
It was his fault that they all hated me.
And before I could stop myself I had grabbed Leo's gun…
to be continued...
so what did you think? let me know.
Author's Note: so we have 4 guns, so that means 4 different people could be responsible for the first gun shot. (there may be more.)
Only 4 chapters left! for those of you who did not read this the first time, i do answer all of the questions by the end of the fic. but i will leave a few things open since im still considering doing a sequel that picks up sometime after this story ends. but anything that i leave open will not be a cliffhanger.
