Bang.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAngS1DOU1Qt
One clench of a finger was enough to take a life. A small action powerful enough to take away a human existence. Evil enough to kill the vision of a brighter future.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgGqLM42VPR
When everyone finally opened their eyes to see the consequence of the gunshot, it was too late to save each memory of the horrid sight.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaYI42EawTl
Anika had stopped running up the stairs looking at her son who laid on the ground. His sight went up to meet her before a wail came from the young boy's mouth.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhRq28zYESi
"No!" Hope screamed as the leader fell to the flooring of the steps. Anika held onto the bloody gap in the middle of her body as her family and comrades gathered around her.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgHuA6xD3mK
Deshi and Tanya held onto a crying hope and Hashim as they cried into the body of the leader. After several calming shushes from the half-dead woman they were dragged away by Deshi as requested. No one should have to see their girlfriend or mother die.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5B9jktznKG
As her breathing got shallow and eyes started to droop, Anika held her hand out for Tanya to take. The teenager complied, squeezing it as hard as she could trying to channel the life she had into the dying body. To no avail, the body only got colder.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAU1AyDl3GJq
"I'm sorry! If it wasn't for me you would be fine!" Tanya shouted through her tears, high pitched sniffles in between.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvhG9oQV2jK
"It's not your fault."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAAVtHUibmFc
"But you came to save me and are dying because of it!"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdlJyieG7bN
Anika looked straight into the younger's eyes, using all of her strength to clasp onto the hand she held a little tighter.
208Please respect copyright.PENANADdR8UiEb7g
"And I would do it again to save you...
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvMe4JBgYio
President Tanya."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAunLnSo7CWC
With that, no more breath remained. Anika's hand fell slowly to the floor dripping in the dark, red liquid which oozed from her chest.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ0YBsm2k2
The leader was dead.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAucPvcJtF0y
Tanya screamed one last time with all of her anger, frustration, and pain before getting up. She wiped her tears as her exhales of breath got harsher with fury. Knowing what needed to be done the teen got up.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAYz1EwW3RWw
Walking back up the stairs, no emotions wrote on her face and looked at the hallway she had come out from. Before slowly marching forward, her head turned to the balcony letting the vision of a smug Frost come to light. He stared back with a smirk until turning around to walk into the hallways, silently accepting the challenge Tanya had put forward.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAcA163mZ1ip
She stared back down the hallway, footsteps getting louder. The army was coming. Tanya felt two hands place on both shoulders. To her left, Hope. To her right, Deshi.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAPnVUP5T6He
"Los Elementos son superiores." Hope whispered, hate towards the people they were about to face apparent in her voice.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAgNA15XDww7
"Los elementos son superiores." Both Deshi and Tanya replied.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAuj2IsZO0cx
Running forward, each brought out their gun and aimed until they were met face to face with the soldiers. There were too many to take but the trio sure as hell would give it a try. Battle cries ripped through the air as bullets flew. Each took cover until open spots for shooting were available.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA6cv4957Rfp
Tanya was exterminating the soldiers until her gun ran out. Unfortunately, Hope and Deshi needed reloading too. Frost's army advanced, walking up to the three jeering with power.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhe22v0q2jx
The pack rattled their guns on the window, which had let small lighting into the room. They dragged on about how Frost was a savior and had brought them to this.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvB1wXWSgz9
"This is your end. Any last words." One gruff voice boomed.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA4GcFuSCAAl
A small cloud dawned the window creating a dull grey in the hall. The atmosphere tensed as the Tanya stood up, hands raised above her head, from the place she had hidden and walked into the cleared space. She smiled.
208Please respect copyright.PENANANDWgoW8xb3
"Hope you enjoy hell motherfuckers."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwwcVXMGlfA
Deshi and Hope's eyes locked in confusion until a thunderous crash came from the window. Elementa stormed into the hallway and dragged the soldiers about. Using lightning bolts, she aimed straight at the group's hearts. With the remaining soldiers, an almighty wind blew them against the wall hitting each head harshly. The lifeless bodies fell to the ground.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAhuzps8SkON
Ellie looked at the trio, one small water droplet cascading from her eye. Tanya pulled her sleeve over her arm and wiped the tear away.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAT76TCdUgP0
"She will be avenged. So will anyone who has ever died at the hands of Frost." The teen spoke quietly. She wouldn't stop until justice took place.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAagizykrReT
Another wave of fighters could be heard coming down the halls. Deshi turned to the younger girl and yelled for her to go. Tanya looked around before speeding off down a corner taking her to the final battle. Deshi, Hope, and Ellie would stay and hold back anyone who could interfere.
208Please respect copyright.PENANASaMyTu7x6p
It was finally time.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeCO6Saxqs8

208Please respect copyright.PENANAW9c0tnIEOp
Tanya reached the dull, gloomy corridors in a matter of minutes. Breezes of cold danced on the skin revealed by her top. Goosebumps rose as the faint sound of gunshots blared from the distance.
208Please respect copyright.PENANABCS1F5ffFZ
"Looking for me?" Frost appeared from the shadows. Body paper-thin and eyes as dark as the devil.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAVqNzzdgfpg
"I was wondering when we would meet again." Tanya stayed silent.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA78ZoMNbl7f
"Not going to talk?" Again no reaction.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAfSzWmF0LL4
"Well, then I guess this will be an easy kill." He chuckled, taking strides down the hallway.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA04GSNkN78e
This was interrupted by a bullet ringing through the air. Tanya looked behind her to find Hashim, tears in his eyes and stains ran down his cheeks, with a gun in his hand. Ready and aimed at Frost, the boy was ready to kill.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA8R39ZXk9Gz
Tanya approached the young boy with her hands held out in front of her. She cautiously moved to notice a small writing pad and pen hanging from his left hand. Anika must have brought it to return to her son. Only she would never write in it again.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA5AcIU6ZBUz
Taking both, Tanya wrote the word don't onto the paper.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJeE6oJxQzB
"Why?" Hashim signed. Tanya slowly went for the gun again, trying to grasp it and take it away from the boy. However, she was met with a small struggle from the latter who would not give up the machine by any means.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA78h001H0Z1
"Give me one good reason not to kill him! He killed all of my parents and now it's his time to die!" Hashim had started emphasizing his sign showing the frustration held within him.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAcICjEuUeXH
Tanya slowly scribbled onto the pad and held it up, speaking out the words as she did, letting both the boy and president know what she refused to let happen.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAz1bOjUexMo
"I won't let another kid become a killer."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJmQPB24Y5i
The boy slowly broke down into the teen's arms as she took the gun from his grasp. Walking over to a small room off the side of the hallway, she placed Hashim in it and closed the door. But as soon as she had a hand flew into her face and smacked her onto the ground.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAYycYU8dIf0
Tanya got back up and charged at the man, pushing all of her weight into him causing him to slam into the wall behind him. They both advanced again, fists flying at each other's bodies. Tanya ducked, kicking Frost's legs to allow him to crash onto the floor.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAlIY2BHUCWj
He sat up quickly, throwing a harsh punch to Tanya's face. She collapsed back onto the hard concrete feeling a small run of liquid fall from her lip and nose. Trying to regain strength, she slowly got to her feet only to be lifted by her neck and pulled into the president's arms.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA05thmKdgsh
Her back was clutched against his chest and a skinny but strong arm had detained the teen in his grasp. The other arm was poked into her chest as the breath slowly decreased from the power of the president's arm.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAQYKMj6ysQK
"I always liked you." An eerie mutter filled Tanya's ear. The warm breath exhaled onto her neck and ears. Poisonous words flowed from his thin lips to which she felt every motion.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAvDzNAgDXhX
"To think you were my favourite." She scrambled to try and get away from his grasp but all were failing.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA2iGJ0DwU0Q
He pulled her closer.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAdoWCiW659v
"And now... I'm going to tear you apart. Just like I did to every single family on earth."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ2EQnKDFm
Tanya grunted in hatred.
208Please respect copyright.PENANASGyrTNEXDr
"Just like I did when I shot Anika."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAHvePjzQD8Q
Tanya gained strength through her intense enrage and raised her arm to elbow Frost in his stomach. She punched him hard again in the same place as to let him topple to the ground. She straddled him, harshly gripping around his neck.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAFmAOv62lZN
Smashing his head on the floor multiple times, she leaned in tightening her grip.
208Please respect copyright.PENANA2Oao9GKjgi
"I want this to be the last thing you hear."
208Please respect copyright.PENANA2jl3yIo3LC
Tanya leaned in closer as he grasped onto the last specks of air he would breathe.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAJmXjXw2dy7
"How does it feel to lose everything?"
208Please respect copyright.PENANAw2g5JPnzh6
She slowly lifted her head back up to see his eyes widen in fear until they don't contort again. His head fell to the side. Tanya stood up and walked to the door. Before clutching onto the handle she walked back to the body of the president and kicked it hard enough to turn the dead body over.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7jRVn1sLS
"And that's for Anika."
208Please respect copyright.PENANAwdxk3Fzr7W
She returned to the door and opened it to see Hashim on the floor curled on the floor. He looked up and ran to the girl he had waited for. They stepped back into the hallway, hand in hand, looking at the way they were going to leave.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeHjJtz3WIP
Before they had fully left the long hallway Hope and Deshi came into sight. They looked behind the two to see the dead body on the floor.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeBhG8oGgr5
"Did Hashim see it?" Hope asked.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnCsyfo3xL1
"No," Tanya spoke bluntly.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAeyfaiNltgz
"So we are safe now?" Deshi voiced his cautions.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAnLc3z0dWjW
"We're safe." Tanya replied.
208Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ2nVKsoAD
"Jasper Frost is dead."
