Clash

Harry’s eyes roamed over my body and it was filled with shock. I know I looked bad and the worst thing was that he couldn’t even see all of it, as it was still dark and the light that was coming from the moon wasn’t enough to show everything. Harry wasn’t that hurt from what I could see and I immediately started to wonder if he wasn’t just feigning weakness. I glanced at Niall, who still had his gun aimed at Bradley. “Niall put down the gun.” I mumbled to him and he shook his head slightly, he was being stubborn but I knew not to try it any further because it would not work.

I heard footsteps coming towards us and I know it was just a matter of time, before we were surrounded with Bradley’s men. I raised my gun just like Niall but I turned away from Harry and Bradley and aimed at the end of the hallway. “Please tell me you two had a plan before barging in like this?” I hissed at Niall but he shook his head. “This was the plan.” I sighed because this just sucked, there was no way we would get out alive, without help from the outside.

“Anna,” Bradley called my name and I turned my head to look at him. “What?!” I snapped at him, which made him chuckle. “This is all your fault, you know that right?” he was really losing his mind right now, how could this be my fault, the only thing I ever did was move here, it’s not my fault they both wanted me, I never asked for both of them. “What the hell are you talking about?” I started walking to him but as I did that he almost bored into Harry skull with the gun, I stopped walking immediately. “If you just had chosen me instead of Harry, then this wouldn’t be necessary.” I snorted at that because that was utter bullshit.

“Really?!” I snapped at him, knowing I was walking a dangerous path. “I shouldn’t have to choose any of you, you two forced me at every corner and then when I choose you get pissed of. So how come this is my fucking fault?” I had my gun aimed at both of them. I was being beaten to a point where I should be dead, I was almost raped twice, I had to learn how to kill people and still it was my fault, what the fuck?!

“It’s your fault for moving here, you should’ve stayed in America.” I couldn’t disagree with that. “GOD, I know, I regret coming with my parents, who you killed by the way.” I waved my gun in dismissal and I know I had out spoke him and he didn’t like it but he did feel my anger which was a good thing because at this point I didn’t care about killing Harry in the process.
“Anna, stop it.” This was coming from Niall and he was right, I had to focus on other things and when I turned around I was shocked to see all the men in the hallway aiming their guns at us. There must be a way to send out some sort of signal that we needed back-up right?
I turned my focus on the window and that’s when I thought about something “Niall are they outside the house?” I asked him under my breath and he nodded, not completely sure why I was asking but the second he nodded I had aimed at the broken window. I shot three times through the window, with the hope they would get it. I know the guys in here thought I was crazy, as they were laughing at me but I would be laughing in the end.

“Princess, what are you doing?” Bradley asked me. I turned and focussed on Bradley again, we had to do something because I was sick of standing here like a punch of dumbasses. I turned my arm and aimed at the first person behind me, as he was creeping in every time I shifted, the sucker must have thought I hadn’t noticed but before he could react I had already shot him, which costed a frenzy and within seconds the guys came running at us, not all of them were holding guns but this distraction was all that Harry needed and within seconds He had beaten Bradley of him.

He ran to my side and tried to pull me with him when we heard a shot fired from behind us and I didn’t feel it at first, I firstly felt the blood wetting my shirt. I looked down and stared at the appearing bloodstain, to my luck it wasn’t near the heart but still Bradley shot me. I was too late to stop Harry who grabbed the gun I let go and he started shooting.

Bradley was hurt but that didn’t make him slower and he was avoiding those bullets as if he was possessed it was something though to watch. I felt myself getting weaker but there was no time for collapsing even thought I wanted nothing more.

I was in combat with a slimmer dude and to my surprise I had the upper hand at this moment. “Why are you fighting me?” I said between blocking his attacks and that’s when I saw the uncertainty of the guy and I knew that something wasn’t right here. I took a moment to look around and I saw a few members I recognized from last year but there were also a lot younger guys. “Bradley told us to.” I rolled my eyes and decided it was time to end this, not only because I had it but also because I couldn’t last any longer.

I hit him first in his stomach and when he bended I hit him in the head hard, so that he was unconscious. “Niall, half of these guys are just kids, knock them out and let’s move because this isn’t getting us anywhere.” I yelled at him and he did exactly what I told him to and when we hit the last one unconscious, Liam, Michael, Ashton and to my surprise Louis appeared in front of us. The assessed the situation really fast and they immediately started attacking the original members, leaving me out of a job. That’s when I turned around and started running in the direction that Harry and Bradley took.

It wasn’t easy running around with a bullet in your body but I had to get Harry, there was no way I would leave him again. I picked up a gun from the floor and when I finally reached the last room in the hallway, I was completely out of breath, not that it was a long hallway but with my current condition, it wasn’t an easy run. I stood in front of stairs that led down, I heard voices coming from below and I did recognise Bradley’s voice, which sounded really smug, which trigger my anger even more.

I quietly made my way downstairs and there was Bradley hunching over an unconscious body, which I immediately recognised as Harry’s. I took a deep breath and lowered myself, to stay out of sight. “This is such a shame, you could’ve been a leader but no you had to choose that awful girl instead of me.” I heard him say and that surprised me because Bradley never loved me, he loved Harry and this was all just out of revenge. He killed people out of spite and tried to justify it by blaming this all on Harry. If this was a different situation, I would laugh about this but now it only made me angrier because he killed Zayn out of spite, he hurt Louis out of spite and he tortured me over something that was completely out of my control and now he wanted to kill Harry, this was so messed up.

I was almost downstairs when Bradley suddenly looked my way. I was shocked to see him and was also feeling proud of Harry for beating him to shit. “Anna, how lovely, why don’t you join us?” How in the world did he even know I was here? I had been so quiet.

“You snorted princess.” I sighed but I didn’t feel the fear I felt just an hour ago. I felt disgust for him and I couldn’t wait to put a bullet in his head. I had my gun aimed at him but lowered it, when I saw him aim a gun at Harry’s head. “You disgust me.” I hissed at him but that only made him laugh.

It was like he had completely lost his mind and that did terrify me. “You’re nothing Anna.” He laughed and as he moved his gun to aim it at me, I found my opportunity and fired my gun but thank to my trembling hand I didn’t shoot him in the head but just in his left shoulder and I think I merely grazed his shoulder. He looked at the wound and started to laugh hysterical and just pulled the trigger of his own gun. I saw it coming though so I could jump out of the way in time, which brought me closer to were he was standing.

“You stole him from me.” He yelled at me as he approached me but this time I didn’t back away. He was right in my face and we just stared each other down, when he suddenly hit the spot where I was hit by one of his bullets. This made me fall to my knees because it hurt like hell and the moment I fell on my knees I knew I was screwed and as I lifted my head he already had his gun against my forehead.

It was like time stopped.
