“You dare kill your own,” he spit a chunk of blood before he continued, “your own father.”
“Just like I killed my own mother,” I replied, “Fools never learn, that people like me will never change.” I cocked the gun once more and pressed the trigger. The bullet went straight to his head and it was the loudest bang I had ever heard in my life. It echoed all throughout my being. A single tear escaped my amber-colored eyes and I choked as I saw the man -from which I had come from- on his way to hell, a place which I was sure to join soon enough.
I went to aid the girl, a look of shock was plastered in her face as if in disbelief of everything she had just witnessed. I placed the gun next to the chair and began to untie her hands. I removed the gag from her mouth and last I untied her feet. She looked at me, still confused. She looked down at the floor, yet I dismissed her gaze. With a swift move she grabbed a hold of the gun, I was sure it had about one or two bullets left. I was never careless, or so I thought. She pointed the gun at and I gave two steps back. Her hand shook and it would have been quite easy to take the gun away from her, but I didn’t.
“Go ahead. Shoot me,” I was sincere. I longed for death and justice had to be made.
“You killed my parents...” tears began to stream down her eyes like raging little droplets. “How could you destroy people’s lives like that?”
“I am a monster. I was born from two evil monsters. I am the seed of evil. My mother hated me and my father,” I turn to look at Escobar’s lifeless body, “I just wished I had never met him at all. I must have ruined your life and for that I have nothing to give you anything but my life to heal your grief. Monsters like me should be killed or we will kill over and over. We can never change. My mother and father never changed and neither will I. You have to end it... shoot me.”
She shook her head and sobbed. “I’m not a Monster. I won’t condemn myself like you did. I won’t turn into a monster!”
I was a bit taken aback by what she had just said. I felt admiration for her, something I lacked feeling for anyone else. I had been a fool to push her to kill me. That would have ruined her innocence, something I was trying to protect from the beginning.
“I forgive you. I hope God forgives you. Even monsters have a right to forgiveness. I forgive everything you did to me and I do believe you can change.” The green-eyed girl dropped the gun.
My eyes burned and tears began to free fall, there was no stopping them. With a blur vision, I noticed a shape moving, it was Big Bear and he was reaching for something in his right foot. He had concealed a small gun and was about to shoot the girl, my innocent girl. I was not too far from her. I embraced her as I turned her around, giving my back to Big Bear. A sharp pain spread all over my body. Unable to keep standing up I fell to my knees, “Go get out!” I commanded her. But she wouldn’t budge.
“I won’t leave you here!”
“Go now!!!” I shoved her. I saw the gun she had dropped on the floor and pointed it at Big Bear, he was about to shoot her, so I drew his attention to me. “I’m right here you bastard. Doesn’t it piss you off that you could never have me?” His eyes burned with rage and we both pointed the guns at each other. The girl was almost out of sight I gave one last look before I pulled the trigger, no bullets. I smiled content. I had been forgiven... I was a person again, with sins, nevertheless a person... no longer a Monster...
How foolish was I to think that people can never change...
