He howls.

BANG!BANG!

Glass shatters on the wall.

That's four and five.

The spotlight strobes.

I stand and confront him.

Eyeball to eyeball.

Bastard to bastard.

The music ends.

I laugh.

He screams.

Echoes roam.

Illumination.

The gun touches my chest.

Fear turns to wickedness in his eyes.

Death smiles back at him.

Venom in my voice.

"Do it, Motherfucker!"

He pulls the trigger.

My heart is racing so fast.I'm panting, trying not to panic.I know I heard gunshots.Behind my eyelids, all I can see is Aurei standing at the door, fucking fearless, without any protection.His naked chest is just asking for it."Heaven help me!"I feel the nightmare inside, and I want to scream, but I can't.I have to listen.

The lights come on, and I peer out from behind the headboard.I see Aurei standing in front of the addict with a look on his face that makes my breath vanish, and my chest squeezes my heart so fucking hard; it's painful.His face is so fucking fierce.He's so fucking angry.Not wanting to watch him kill but not able to pull my eyes away, I watch glued to the horrific scene.The cold from the floor seeps into my soul.My whole body begins to shake.

The song ends, and there is silence, then bloodcurdling scream after scream fills my head.Goosebumps, the size of eggs, break out.Every cell in my body stands at attention!

Blood begins to pool on the floor, dripping off the arm and down the leg of my assailant!

You fucked with the wrong man.

Then my gun is touching Aurei's chest.

My head begins to spin.
