DOUBLE TROUBLE || KTH

27 : GUNSHOT

ANNA'S POV

With my barefoot, I kept running and running as fast as I can, still looking behind but soon I bumped into something hard more like a wall. I stumbled to my feet and back off a little because of a sudden contact, only to see an unknown man with an evil smirk on his face, looking down at me.

I look back only to see they both stopped. I turned again to face the man I just bumped. " Sir please- please save me. They a-are following me. Please help". I said looking up with hope but instead of helping he started laughing at me.

Soon both of the men also joined him. The whole alley was echoing with their psychotic laughing. I gulp down my saliva. Taking some steps backward as those two men were a little distance away from me.

With the all courage left in me, I did what I think every girl would do in a situation like this.

"HELP... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP". I started shouting with my lungs out.

The man took some steps closer to me and grabbed the back of my neck with one hand and put his other palm on my mouth.

" Stop shouting girl". He warns in a deep voice enough for me to get scared but I didn't stop. I pulled his palm away with all my strength, from my mouth and again started shouting.

In return for my little stunt, I got a tight slap on my face and I fell to my knees. He pulled me back up by my hair harshly. I started crying out loud because of the pain.

I felt my knees bleeding by now. I started crying out loudly.

Soon I flinched hard when I heard two gunshots back to back. I turned to see with my teary eyes, that both of the men got shot on their knees and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

I raised my head to see. A tall dark figure standing at the entrance of the alley with a gun in his hand. He was wearing a mask on his face. But I recognized him only by looking at his eyes.

He came.

" TAN". I yelled. " Tan please save me. This man is hurting me". I started wiggling from his hold but he pulled me towards him, blocked himself from Tan, and grabbed me tighter. He pulled out his gun and placed it on my temple.

My back was facing that man and I was facing Tan. " Please ". I mouthed looking at Tan.

" Stop right there or else I'll pull the trigger". That man warned Tan and tightened his grip around the gun. I was sobbing hard, shaking in fear but soon froze in my place as Tan pointed his gun at me.

I noticed his hand shaking a little. He supported his shaking hand with his other. I closed my eyes tightly shut and finally, the alley echoed.

I slowly opened my eyes when I felt no pain. Breathing heavily I was trying to analyze the situation.

Soon the grip around my neck loosen and the man fell backward with a loud thud. I turned to look at the man who got shot at the center of his forehead.

My lips trembled to look at him. Wasn't able to bear more I felt my knees getting numb and my head started spinning. The next second I fell but I felt someone catch me before I reach the ground and blacked off.
