CYS-F: Sneak up behind them
From Create Your Own Story
You struggle to contain your rage, you can't just run in there. You sling the rifle from your back and flipped the safety off. The men don't notice you as you enter the door way. As you raise the gun, the man kicking her noticed you. He stands up straight suddenly with a shout, revealing his face to you. Dark veins seem to snake up his body, and his eyes had a strange yellow sheen to them. As stand up, he quickly hits the second man to get his attention, which caused the second man to turn with his pants down and stumble and fall to the ground.. The first man grabs a bat and starts to charge at you. You panic and fire a shot in his gut, causing him to lurch forward. A second shot to the chest sends him on his back, coughing up blood as he groans. The second man leaves his pants at his ankles and stands, looking at you with anger etched in his face. You both stare at each other, your gun trained on him. The one you shot stops groaning.The shouts and gun shots from outside grow louder. The man looks at your gun, looks at you, then back at the gun. You play with the idea of letting him leave, but you hear Jessie whimper in fear and pain from the corner, and your anger flares back up and you pull the trigger. The shot hits the man in the head, his brains and bone splattering the wall behind him. His corpse falls on the floor, twitching as the blood pools around the bodies. Fred walks in behind you, looking at the bodies and then your gun. He just grins and nods at you. Instead of responding you look for Jessie, tossing the gun to Fred who catches it with one hand.
She is curled up in a ball, her pants shredded and her shirt torn. Tears run down her frightened face as she looks at the bodies in horror. As you approach, she flinches and tries to cover her body up with her arms. You try to calm her with soothing words as you slowly hug her. She latches on and begins sobbing harder " they, they were going to kill me! The- why would they do this? They were my neighbors, I knew them. What made them do this?!" You try to explain to her what Fred told you, but she only seems to be partially listening. She stares at the bodies over your shoulder, until you finally force her to look at you " listen, we need to leave here. Now. So let's go get you some clothes and you'll come with us, OK?" She nods, before standing up. You look back at Fred who nods at you, before sitting on the sofa and watching the door. She goes into her room, shutting the door to get changed, and you sit next to Fred. He looks at you with the same grin before talking " You know, you scared me for a second. I thought you were gonna charge in there with a knife or something... like you were Michael Myers or some shit." for some reason you find this funny, laughter escaping your lips. As you chuckle, you notice your hands are shaking and you feel adrenaline coursing through your veins. You look back at the men you shot, and the realization of what you did hits you " holy shit, I killed a guy Fred... I killed them. They're dead" Fred glanced at the body before shrugging " well, I mean that's what usually happens when you shoot someone" You give him a look, before laughing again. All a sudden you throw up, your dinner splattering on the floor. Fred pats you on the back " hey, you saved someones life. He was a threat, you didn't have a choice. Look at me" You glance at him as you wipe the vomit from your mouth. His grin disappeared, and his eyes seemed cold and distant " You didn't have a choice..." he stares off behind you as he repeats it again to himself. You nod, you didn't have a choice. The man was going to Kill Jessie. As you calm down, Jessie appears from the hallway. She wears some dark jeans, and a red hoodie. You see her eyes red from crying, but she gives you a determined look. You stand up and go next to her " You alright?" She nods before walking away from you. As she looks at the floor silently, Fred hands you the gun, then takes the baseball bat and rests it on his shoulder while looking at you.
So now what? You consider the options you have.
