The arrest

As I lift the gun toward Michelle, I feel a tremor spread through my hands.

When she looks at me, her face becomes pale.

I pull the trigger on the gun.

****

The bullet strikes her in the shoulder, causing her to collapse to the ground and scream as she clings to her wound.

When you are shot, it aches. Because she was the one who sent someone to kill me while I was at Quinn's house, I am familiar with the feeling of being shot.

I approach her and kneel down next to her. "Michelle, I am not you anymore. I will allow you to continue living. When I proceed to insert the barrel into her wound, she immediately begins to scream out in agony.

Hearing her scream is one of my favorite sounds. When compared to what she regularly displays for the world to see, it gives the impression that she is weak.
