Every Shot Cuts The Deepest Skin
Chapter Fifteen
Two people stand.
One side was Ken.
The other was me.
Kable and Abigail were sitting with the others.
I looked at him in despair, his gaze burned back at me.
My heart thundered proudly against my chest.
I would gladly die for his love, life without him was pointless.
Without noticing, I place a shaky hand on my stomach.
He watches me, a small and beaming smile appears across his face.
To think Kable didn't want this child.
But when I stare right through his eyes, the love there is unmissable.
"CRYSTAL!" Ken shouts my name.
I turn my head to look at the man that was going to die today.
"Say goodbye to everything you know!" He cried with a sneer.
"I think it will be YOU that will." I reply.
Ken growled like a animal and charged right at me.
Though I felt the fear grow in my belly, I manged to step aside before he came into contract to me.
His feet slid across the floor but kept his balance which was a shame.
Suddenly, he dug out a bright object from the back of his pants.
My eyes widened with horror of discovering it was a knife!
He charged once more, I stepped aside but the sly bastard cut my arm as he went by.
A flow of blood began to fall down, I could hear Kable hiss his teeth at the sight of it.
Ken noticed my slight injury by letting a evil grin appear on his face.
"That one won't be the only cut you are going to get!" He warned, pointing at it.
I burned a angry gaze at him, the cut meant nothing to me.
"Crystal!" Someone shouted.
I turned at the side where the Slayers were.
Ben stood up and threw something for it to land a few meters from my feet.
It was a knife that looked very much like Ken's but it had a very sharp tip.
I nodded my head at him, he replied it in return and sat back down.
"That's cheating!" He hissed, pointing at it.
I looked at him with a evil smile across my face.
No-one even really cared if it was cheating or not.
"Isn't anyone going to take that away from her?" He raged, burning his angry gaze at the audience.
But there wasn't a reply from anyone.
I burst out laughing then stopped at his uneasy stare back at me.
"You will DIE!" He roared, his eyes quickly changing from choclate brown to a hint of red.
This time the fear inside me overtook everything, I couldn't move at all.
He charged at a alarming rate, any second now my world would end.
I shut my eyes, blocking my name being cried out by Kable and the screams from Ken.
If things were different and the world was free, my life would be so beautiful.
Me, Kable and our child wandering through the golden fields watching the sunset.
A faint smile went across my face, tears were flowing steadily down my cheeks.
Goodbye my memories, goodbye to everyone I loved and met in this life.
Reality came back like a thud as I opened my eyes to see Ken dangerously close.
He rose his arm, ready to strike the fatal blow on me.
But when he was just inches from my face, I struck my blade in his stomach.
A loud and painful groan uttered out of his mouth.
His eyes that were a terrifying red went back to that soft brown colour.
He looked down in horror to see blood pouring through his clothes.
I backed away, stunned and shocked to discover this.
He rose his gaze back at me, tears were forming to fall down his face.
For some strange reason, I felt pity briefly to see him die.
"You... bitch!" He gasped, then collapsed on the floor.
Pity turned to hatred as I watched him breathe for the final time.
He was dead, I killed Ken Castle.
