This is the prologue to a story I've been thinking of for the past few days after some recent events that have happened to me in the real world. I hope you enjoy the read! I assure you, it will become much longer as I add details over the next couple of days. (Note, the environment (I;E the ground, surrounding buildings, etc.) will NOT be fully detailed, but I will be sure to come back and edit it after I get a few more chapters down)
Pulling the Trigger of Love - Prologue
His body shook as the ice-cold rain pelted his skin and clothing. His finger was on the trigger to a gun that would end a life and there were at least a dozen and a half police officers with their pistol barrels pointed at him. His jaw tightened as he thought back on the events which lead him to this point. Tears streamed down his cheeks as memories of his little sister stirred in his mind. Those tears mixed with the rain flooding down on him and his surroundings. His hand tightened. He was starting to pull the trigger when a voice rang out to him. It wasn't the negotiator. It was a woman's voice.
"Nick! Don't do this!" she yelled to him. She was being held back by a bulky officer. "Please! It's not worth it! Killing him won't do anything to bring your sister back!"
He lightened his grip. His shivering stopped. Her voice always calmed in. He fell so hard for her that if he had literally fallen, he'd have a split head and a concussion. A image of her eyes popped in his head. The same set of eyes he first saw back in high school.
"If I don't do this, Kaitlin, then you and I both know he'll get away and do it again. I can't let him fucking live after what he did," Nick replied. His grip tightened and he shoved the pistols barrel hard against the back of the man's head. An audible squeal could be heard coming from the man, who was on his knees. He started up his begging "Oh god come on man! Please don't do this! I didn't do anything! You got the wrong man!". It continued, and as the seconds kept passing, his pleas grew louder and more desperate.
"You fucking raped her. You beat her! She was only thirteen, you son of a bitch!" Nick shouted. He tensed up, a final image of his beloved little sister, Abigail, ran through his mind. "I fucking hate you!"
The trigger squeezed and the gunshot rang like thunder. It was over. He felt relaxed knowing that the bitch was dead now. The time went by slowly as he closed his eyes and embraced what happened next. A ring of bright light came from a dozen and a half muzzles, brightening up the walls of nearby buildings. Nick's body fell to the ground, his blood mixing with the water,steadily flowing down into a street gutter. He was gasping for breath, but he was satisfied. He had done what he meant to do. The only regret would be leaving Kaitlin behind. As his vision blurred, the last thing he saw was her bright, majestic, blue eyes.
