Their Game!! (Sequel to His Game)

Chapter 13

Their Game- chapter 13

I wake to Carver shaking me.

“Little one get up there’s an intruder in the house” he whispers into my ear.

Carver throws me one of his t-shirt and I pull it on over my head then grab his outstretched hand. He kisses it sweetly like he always does.

“Little one I live you forever” then he smashes his lips onto mine “I want you to know if anything happens to me you’ll be looked after. I know Seth isn’t me little one but he’ll look after you and maybe give you the love that I can’t. I want to love you little one but I can’t, it’s too dangerous. Love is a dangerous thing little one, I can’t love you but I can live for you. I live to spend every waking moment with you. I live you little one.”

“Carver” I start to say but I’m cut off by gun shots going off from somewhere downstairs.

“Get behind me little one” I do as he says and once I’m tucked safely behind him he brings out his gun.

“Keep behind me at all times little one”

“Yes Carver”

Carver throws open the door and looks both left and right before signalling for me to come. Carver takes my hand in his and we run through the hall. I hear footsteps coming closer to us and Carver quickly pulls me into one of the bedrooms.

“Be very quiet little one” I hear more gunshots mixed with shouting. Carver places his hand over my mouth preventing me from screaming.

“Who’s in the house, Carver?” I ask when he removes his hand.

“Most likely Damon Cassock”

“I don’t understand....are they trying to rescue me?”

“No little one they’re trying to kill you”

“Why?”

“Because I stole something that belongs to him”

“You’re an ass”

“Now’s not the time little one”

“I’m sorry but stealing is just plain stupid”

“I know....but it was just so easy”

Carver starts fluttering with his gun, then he swears under his breath and throws the gun at the wall. I immediately run and pick it up so many thoughts run through my head. I have a gun, I could shoot Carver and escape but first I have to find out where my girls are. I point the gun at him and he quickly raises his hands in surrender.

“What are you doing little one?”

“Where are my girls Carver?”

“Little one give me the gun now”

“Where are my girls Carver?”

“You’re not going to shoot me little one”

“You really believe that? You’ve put me through hell”

“Yes...I believe that because you’re not a murder little one”

“Never underestimate a desperate mother” I pull the trigger and just as I do the door opens. Carver lunges at me knocking the gun out of my hands and me to the ground.

“Stop Cruz, it’s alright there was no bullets in the gun” Cruz pulls me to my feet and Carver delivers a quick strike to my cheek.

“Who’s in the house, Cruz?”

“Carve it’s all a misunderstanding...Rolando’s here he forgot the code and he has a women with him, she tried to get away hence the gun shots and shouting”
