Too easy

y/fs pov :

My heart was pounding but I had to play it cool, I couldn't let Milo think I was weak.

There he stood at my door with a gun in hand, dried blood on his knuckles. He had left me a note this morning in my gun manual telling me to "stay awake" and that he would be with me at four

I was resisting every erge to let my eyes close and fall back to sleep but fear was the thing stopping me the most

"I told you to stay awake" he turned around and started walking

I chased after him walking backwards to face him after I caught up 'I did stay awake ?'

"no you didn't"

'you don't know that'

he sharply turned a corner and slammed the gun to my chest startling me "hold it" I fiddled with the gun not letting it drop as he opened a rickety cupboard pulling out another gun identical to the one he handed me. He walked again, I was intrigued, he wasn't very predictable or polite he did what he wanted and when he wanted. Again I followed him around making sudden turns until we reached a door, he opened it letting a cold breeze rush over me.

"follow"

I did as he said walking through the woods swiftly. He wasn't waiting for me to catch up as I trailed behind looking at my surroundings figuring out where I was and if I could escape. There where some tree stumps with cans on them and branches with hanging planks of woods marked 10-40 like a dart board

"shoot the can" he instructed

I scoffed, this many years in a apocalypse and you think I can't shoot a can ? fuck off

'ill do you one better' I mumbled under my voice pulling back the safety and aiming my gun

I directly shot the furthest plank of wood right at its centre turning to him with a simple but effective annoyed look, his eyes widened slightly but not enough to lead on he was impressed

'fucking hell do you have botox or something? move your face it's creepy'

he lifted his gun and shot exactly where I had, it was perfect. no new marks or anything he shot it exactly where I did. incredible

'You have a lot of trust giving me this gun, how do you know I wont just turn around and shoot you? Or just run away' I said gripping the gun.

"your too scared." he said shooting the plank once again perfectly

I coughed too cover the sound of the click my gun made as I changed its chamber, I wasn't within his peripheral vision. My arms where by my side but I slowly aimed my gun a little higher inch by inch just enough so the bullet I was soon to set off would reach his upper back and kill him.

My heart was racing I feel like he knows what I'm doing but he can't !? there's no way he can see me and he's to busy showing off his aiming skills. This all seemed way too easy ? There's no way he would go through all this trouble kidnapping me just for me too shoot him here ?

Okay y/f brace yourself your about to kill this guy, I slid my hand up a little more just getting the perfect angle and

click

Shit. Shit. no bullet came out. and he heard me.

without turning around he said "I only put one bullet in there y/f you pathetic fuck." then he turned around looking directly at me, anger spread over his face which is even scarier because I've never seen his face move. He walked over his steps getting slower each time my heart was in my ears I wanted to run but couldn't. All I could focus on was his gun. He was going to kill me wasnt he? God how could I be SO stupid? Of course there was only one bullet im so naive

I had to get out of this alive so I did the only stupid thing I could think of

Kicking him in the dick and legging it.

He was centimetres away before I raised my left leg grabbing his shoulders keeping him in place and used all my power to knee him right in the groin.

He yelled in pain collapsing to the floor giving me a quick get away but it was nothing but open woods for miles it's not like I could hide ? But I ran regardless and kept running until I couldn't any longer. And I mean physically because just as I thought I was in the clear a gun shot goes of and time stops. I know what's going to happen to me. I'm about to get shot and there is nothing to do to prevent it so I close my eyes tight and time returns.

BANG
