Levi Winchester

Just as planned Giovanni hallucinations had switched the faces of me and my father. I had left Giovanni a gun I had received from the senator, he used it to escape and help my father when he heard us.

That's why I purposely kept him off his meds.

"LEVI!!! HOW DARE YOU FUCK WITH MY HEAD??!??" Giovanni tried to fire the gun again but it clicked.

"Idiot, there was only one bullet," I smiled. Giovanni started to come for me but peices of the house on fire started to rain down on him, cutting off my view. He has to be burried by now.

My father had managed to get up and was now leaning on me bleeding from his chest. "Niko-"

I covered his mouth. "How does it feel to have been bitten by the dog you raised? Oh, but, I guess you wouldn't know because you can't feel emotion." He coughed in response. "I told you that you would die here. I'm glad you can at least feel pain and you can experience what you put my mother, Kanstantinos's mom and Kanstantinos through. Any last words?"

"You really think...this will put an end to it all?! My experiment has only just started! If I die...no one in this world can control you and...that will be your undoing! The life you live itself will be an experiment! So you better get out of here alive...since that's the only reason you were born!" He laughed. Even in his final moments, he was trying to be in control.

Even with a bullet wound to the chest, he couldn't drop his ego. He was truly a narcissist.

"Is that all?" His smile quickly disappeared. "I already told you that you and you experiment will die here tonight. I'd like to know your last thoughts though."

"G-Ginny Moss....she was the last person I can think of. I shouldn't have pushed her away like I did." He sputtered before going still. That kind of stung. I jumped back from a falling beam that landed directly on my father.

In the end I kept my promise to Tyler and didn't completely lose my shit. No one involved died by my hand. And I wasn't as violent as I could've been. Coach Nichols would be extremely proud.

I heard a loud explosion sound from behind me and my air and vision were skewed.

"I'm not sure I'll be able to make it out alive." I sighed to myself. I had promised Tyler I would always come back but that couldn't be the case today.

I trudged forward trying my hardest to navigate the flames. Maybe I poured too much gasoline, the fire was spreading faster than I thought it would.

Images of Tyler and Kanstantinos flashed thru my mind like rapid fire. Fuck it was hot and I could barely breathe. I couldn't even walk straight right now.

I felt myself fall to my knees. I'm going to die here, but at least I can die knowing that I saved the person I love from death.

"Are you really giving up? How pathetic! Did you have shit you wanted to do, idiot?!" I could hear Kanstantinos. "I wanted to be a police officer but I can't now! Everything is over now right? Your dream isn't here, it's there, so stop clinging to me."

It's too late now, Kanstantinos. I'll be joining you soon.

"Leviii~" now I had to be hearing things. Tyler didn't even know where I was.

I let out a bit of a chuckle. I really want to see him one last time, even if it's just an illusion from the smoke inhalation. Even if it's not real.

I need to see him. Somehow I was able to get up and walk a bit faster. Just one last time, even if it's not real....I just need to tell him I love him! Just give me enough time for that!

In front of me was the front door, surprisingly wide open. I dead-bolted that, didn't I? Did Penelope escape? She should've been burned to ashes by now!

"LEVI!!!"
