I grabbed my gun and shot him but the fucker didn’t go down. The bullet caught his other shoulder and the bastard was still hell bent on going for her.
Then it was like time stood still. I watched him growl like some kind of hell beast, blood dripping from the side of his face, he pulled back the trigger and let it go.
The bullet flew straight at her. Just like Claire. I could have been back there, back in the past and not the present. Distance apart, not close enough.
Jia looked to me, then Giovanni was in front of her.
He’d jumped down from where he was and he was in front of her. In the split of the second I watched the bullet pierce through him stopping the bullet from getting her.
I was sure it went straight into his chest but it didn’t take him down.
Balthazar screamed making a hellish sound that reverberated from his fiendish appearance and reached for the remote for the platform.
I shot it out of his hand and didn’t give him the chance to come for me again.
As he turned to face me I sent two shots straight into his head.
His mouth opened.
That was it…
He then dropped dead before me.
I killed him.
It’s funny I always thought I’d feel better when I did that.
Now that I’d done it, I just wanted to put the past behind me.
I looked over to Jia and Giovanni and realized straight away that this nightmare wasn’t over yet.
The platform they were on had started to jerk and was slowly making its way down into the pit of crocs.
Panic filled me and I looked around for the remote only to see it smashed up on the ground across from me.
