One gunshot is all it takes, and I can finally avenge my parents.
I reached into the pocket of my jacket and grabbed my cellphone when it vibrated. I looked at the message I received from my best friend Angel.
From: Angel
Elena, stop it. Please... you won't bring back your parents by doing this.
I turned off my cellphone before returning it to my jacket pocket. I have been waiting for this day for almost five years, the day when I could seek revenge for my parents. Would I back down now?
I adjusted my position and tightly held the gun in my hand. It had a silencer, so when I pulled the trigger, they wouldn't hear a bang, and I would have a few minutes to escape.
I stared at the man with a big smile on his face. He was giving a speech on a stage. Of course, I did my best to choose a good spot to shoot him.
Every time I see his face, I always remember the faces of my parents whom he killed. I have proof that he orchestrated the car accident that took my parents' lives, but he has a lot of money, and money is power in this cruel world. My parents' death was not given justice, so here I am in my current position. If the law wouldn't deliver proper justice for my parents' death, then I'll do it myself.
There were many people around. He was a special person. I may not have enough background information about him, but I have enough reasons to kill him.
I adjusted my grip on the gun. This gun was owned by my father, and it was registered. I didn't care about what would happen to me after this. What mattered was that I could shoot him in the heart.
I focused my gun on my target, and after a moment, I heard screams everywhere. Chaos erupted, so I quickly left my location and ran. He had guards everywhere, and even if I got caught, it was fine.
I wasn't that good at shooting a gun, but I trained enough by myself. And to ensure that the man would die, I even put poison in my bullet. I couldn't let my efforts and waiting go to waste, so I did my very best to plan everything.
I ran as fast as I could. I no longer knew where I was. Lost in deep thought, I even forgot where I had parked my car!
I turned around when I heard footsteps. I saw a lot of suited men running behind me. They were chasing me!
I increased my pace. Where was I? I looked around and realized I was already on the beach. Shit!
They would catch up to me even more, and—
A loud gunshot stopped me.
After a few moments, I heard another gunshot. I fell to my knees and slowly felt the pain of the gunshot in my lower abdomen.
"Catch her! I was sure that she did it! She killed Mr. Francis!" I heard a man say, who if I'm not mistaken, was one of the bodyguards of the person I shot—the one who killed my parents.
A smile formed on my lips as I felt my body collapse onto the sand.
Finally, I succeeded and... could now rest.
"She's bleeding a lot!"
"Shoot her!"
I heard another gunshot.
I closed my eyes as I felt the bullet hit me.
Mom... Dad... will we finally meet? I missed you a lot. Please, take me with you. I was too tired of this cruel world.
I slowly opened my eyes, and the blue sky greeted me.
W-Was this t-the end?
Slowly, my vision blurred, and everything turned black.
