The Evil Painter

Chapter 29: My choice

"So, What will it be, my death or keeping your dear mother alive" he said.

"I..."

When I decided what I was going to do, I used my powers and pushed James and them back against the wall.

"Lexi, what are you doing?" Devin asked.

"Look, I can't let you guys get in the way of my choice"

"No...your choosing your self aren't you? Lexi I'm sure there are other ways" He said.

"Look Devin, I'm sure there are, but we don't have time to think about it" I formed my lightening power in my hand and was moving towards my chest...but then Devin sped towards me and grabbed my hand.

"I can't let you do this" he said.

"Lexi, listen to him. We can find another way" dad said.

"I'm sorry dad. But I have to do this."

"No, I can't let you" Devin said.

"I wasn't asking your permission" I quickly pushed him and he smacked against the wall.

"I'm sorry"

I started moving my hand closer to my chest...then struck it in.

"NOO!" They yelled.

I had felt so much intense pain inside.

When I could feel my heart, I felt two.

I had to carefully decide which one is his.

"Ahh"

It hurts so bad, that I fell to my knees.

Dad had got up and ran towards me.

"Sweetie listen, you don't have to do this" he Said.

Not listening I grabbed on to one of the hearts.
When I was about to pull it out, visions were flowing through me.

..........

I noticed I was in a room.

"Where am I"

Looking around, I saw a women in a bed giving birth.

"Is that me?"

"Congratulations, it's a girl" the doctor said.

"She's beautiful" mom said.

Then a beeper was going off.

"What is that?..." Mom asked.

"Somethings wrong. The baby can't breath correctly, I believe it's the heart" the doctor said.

"My heart?"

"Wait, it's beating rapidly. This isn't good. Doctor we need you now" another doctor said.

Looking at what was going on, I noticed my heart wasn't getting enough air or beating correctly.

When the vision had cleared up. I heard my dad calling me.

"Lexi...Lexi can you hear me...Lexi!" He said.

I looked at him.

I was back from the vision.

Still in pain, I remembered what the doctor said.

I let go of the heart I grabbed because I noticed it was beating rapidly just like the doctor had said.

I may have been cured by the king, but that doesn't stop the problem my heart has.

I grabbed the other heart and pulled it out slowly.

"Ahh!"

It hurts so bad.

When I finally had it out...

"IMPOSSIBLE!" The king said.

I looked at the heart that was in my hand.

"Thats.." Dad Said.

"His heart"

"But how?" He asked.

"Even though I was cured as a baby. That doesn't change the fact that my heart beats rapidly still. If it wasn't for my heart showing me visions of my birth, then I would have pulled out my own heart"

He smiled at me.

Then James and Devin had came up to me.

I looked at the king and showed him the heart.

"Now, you have to let my mother go, and face the fact that you've lost"

"Oh my dear girl, I never lose" he said as he grabbed her and put a knife up to her neck.

"No!"

"Now, give me my heart, or she dies" he said.

I didn't know what to do.

If I give him his heart, he will just kill her, but if I don't he will still kill her.

Either way, he gets what he wants, unless...

I looked at James sword and had a plan.

"Fine, just let my mother go, and you can have the heart"

"Lexi, what are you doing?" Devin asked.

"Just trust me" I whispered.

"Wise choice" king said.

He smirked at me, then said "okay on the count of three, you toss my heart I toss your mother...but if you try to trick me, I will cut her throat open" he said.

I nodded.

"One...two...three" at three, I threw the heart towards him, but he didn't give my mom back.

"I knew he would do this" I thought.

So I quickly grabbed James sword and threw it directly towards the heart...and it went straight through.

He then fell out of midair and so did my mom.

"Dad get her"

Dad ran over there, grabbed mom and ran back.

"How dare you!!" King said.

And with those last words he fell to the ground dead.

I took a deep breath and said "it's over, it's finally over"
