Chapter 17: Your Nightmare

"No. I've come to be your nightmare"

"Ha!..." Sean laughed and said "Do you even know how to shoot?" Sean asked with threat laced in his voice.

"Try me" Katherine said in a dangerous voice and fierce posture.

"You've dressed up really nicely for me, I...ah!" Sean said and put one leg forward but immediately retracted it as it met with Katherine bullet.

"You bitch" Sean growled.

Katherine eyes darted to Ian who had sat down with his eyes closed.

As if that closed eyes was a sign, She shot Sean again and walked into the house and found Kendra with two IV drips fixed to her hands and asleep.

Katherine felt that suffocating feeling again and sh felt a lump in her throat, her eyes stinging and lips trembling but she quickly bottled up her emotions.

Katherine walked to Kendra, carried her effortlessly but with utmost care on her shoulder and the IV stand but on second thought, she dropped the stand and held her gun.

When she came out, she was met with a gun - Sean bloody hands were holding a gun and pointing it directly at Kendra's butt.

"Drop her or I will shoot her, choose one" Sean said looking at Katherine menacingly.

Katherine looked at him and at Ian who still had his eyes closed, sitting on the he sofa.

"No!" Was the word that came out coldly out of her mouth. Her eyes still focused on Ian.

"Ok, since you really love to give me a hard time, I will give you sometime to decide, I'll count to 10 and if you don't decide, I'll shoot you both"

Sean said licking his lips and fastening his hold on the gun.

Katherine didn't react, her eyes still on Ian; this time Sean noticed and chuckled evilly.

"My brother?, he's more evil than me so just pick one of the two choices I'm giving you. Either you let go of her or I Shoot you both - pick one"

Katherine opened her mouth to respond but another deep baritone voice was heard.

"Drop the gun Sean" Ian said as he open his eyes. They were dark and deep.

"What??" Sean turned his head sharply and Katherine lips curled a little.

"Drop it. I won't repeat myself" Ian repeated this time and his voice was emotionless but with every word the temperature around him dropped quickly.

Sean looked at Ian who had closed his eyes again and at Katherine who was smiling at Ian though not noticeable.

He gritted his teeth and his eyes screaming bloody-murder.

The gun fell from his shaking hand.

He grabbed a handful of his hair and left; going upstairs to his room and banging the door.

The loud sound echoed through the large mansion but the two humans downstairs didn't care.

"Well done Mr Fergus. I owe you one"
