~Chapter Nine~ (ending one)
It was like time had slowed down.
Jesse screamed, seeing her husband fall over the edge.
Lukas's eyes were wide with fear, and Aiden looked almost happy.
Jesse ran for the edge, about to jump over-
When she felt hands stop her.
She whipped her head around, seeing Petra, Olivia, and Axel holding he back.
Ella stood behind her with Mia, unshackling each other.
They wore shocked expressions- unable to process that their dad was dead.
Jesse tried to free her hands from Axel, Petra and Olivia, screaming.
"LUKAS!" She wailed, "LUKAS IS STILL OKAY... WE COULD SAVE HIM!"
Olivia looked at Petra, pain in her eyes.
"LUKAS!"
Jesse fell to the ground, sobbing.
Huge sobs wracked her body, causing her gulps for air to come in hiccups.
Tears streamed down her face, mixing with the rain.
Jesse's sobs stopped abruptly, replaced with faint whimpering.
"Jesse..." Sighed Axel. "Lukas is gone... He's-"
"YOU DONT KNOW THAT!" Spat Jesse, getting to her feet. "HE COULD STILL BE ALIVE!"
Everyone exchanged skeptical looks, ready to grab Jesse if she decided to throw herself over the edge.
"He... He has to be okay..." Croaked Jesse. "Ha has to..."
Petra looked at Nick's body- lying just a few feet away from Priscilla's body.
The rain had washed away the blood, leaving dark red stains where it had been.
"We'll... We'll take a look..." Huffed Olivia, knowing that there was no hope for Lukas or Aiden.
...
Back at the ground, stood two mutilated figures.
Imagine something glass being dropped on the floor.
Now imagine that with twice the blood and bone splattered on the ground.
Jesse fell to her knees, curling in a ball.
Ella and Mia stood- unable to stop looking at the shattered body of their father.
The same person who Ella wanted to punch... The same person she saw in pictures- beaming with two little girls on his shoulders...
Her dad...
Was dead.
Jesse sobbed, the rain still pouring down.
Axel felt extremely guilty.
Olivia was fighting back tears.
And Petra felt awful about loosing her old friend.
There was almost nothing left of Lukas and Aiden- the impact of the fall could've been the equivalent of being crushed to death.
"I... I didn't... I didn't get to tell him that... I loved him..." Wailed Jesse, shaking. "One last time..."
Jesse continued to sob, the others eventually starting to cry.
Suddenly, Iza appeared, looking extremely sad.
She looked at the dead bodies of Lukas and Aiden, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Here lies a murderer- a tyrant. A menace to society. And a complete bastard."
She looked right at Lukas.
"And at the same spot lies a hero. A knight in shining orange armor. One in a million- the knight will always be remembered."
bad ending.
If you want a better ending, you should've chosen part two.
