Everything I've ever known about Colby led up to this moment.
Every ounce of trust and love we had gained from our relationship was gone as the battle of a lifetime commenced.
There was no way in a million years that I would kill Colby. Not after everything that's happened between us.
I thought he would feel the same way until I saw him charging at me, an angry look on his face.
When he got to me he wrapped his hand around my bloodied neck.
My body trembled as he squeezed my neck just enough to hardly cut the air off. I looked into his eyes, trying to find the Colby that I loved, but he wasn't there.
The Colby that hated me was there instead. The Colby that didn't want anything to do with me.
The Colby that took me all those years ago.
"Please." I choked out as he brought the gun to my head. "Not gonna fight back? It's not as fun if you don't." He said with a dark tone.
I shook my head, gasping at how badly body was hurting.
I was bleeding a lot so there was a huge chance I would die before Colby could even kill me. I deserved for him to take my life though considering I took his a couple months back.
Granted, he survived that. He still had to live with the fact that he knew I was okay with killing him.
The truth was though that it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
Killing all of these people and letting myself die slowly was worth it when Colby's safety was promised.
Now I had no idea what would happen.
I had to assume that Snake would either kill him or recruit him as his own, either way my poor brothers and sisters would have to live without a parental figure again.
They would have lost their mother, their father, their older sister, and the man they looked up to as an older brother. If I died I would be breaking the ultimate promise to them.
I promised to never leave them.
I gritted my teeth and kneed Colby in the stomach, causing him to groan, letting his hand loosen even more.
There was a glint of amusement in his eyes as I shakily reached for my knife, holding it up to him.
I had to disconnect myself from him, knowing that he wasn't the person I loved right now.
It's either you or them, Jules.
I could almost hear Colby saying those words to me.
Make yourself smaller, use your size to your advantage.
You can do this, Jules. I love you and I'm proud of you.
I started to cry as I charged at him with the knife, ducking down low so I could catch him off guard.
Unfortunately he knew me. He knew exactly what I was doing because my entire history of fighting stemmed from him.
I gasped as he grabbed my knife all while picking me up and slamming me onto the ground. I could hear Snake chuckling off to the side as I looked into Colby's eyes.
There was a flash of regret in his eyes before he brought his hand to my neck again. "Colby." I begged as he positioned his knife to stab me.
"Shut up." He said as I started to sob. I watched as he wound back his arm, before plunging it downwards. I expected to feel pain but he stabbed directly next me, just missing me.
