Kace

My heart is in the back of my throat as I climb the last step to my house.

This morning’s warnings come flooding my mind as I scan the main room. Empty. Maybe they’re still out?

I glance at the clock on the wall and sigh. There’s no way around it. 8:15 p.m. is a far cry from 7:30 p.m. The blood rushing in my ears is drowning out my thoughts as I go from room to room looking for Cain.

Empty.

Maybe there’s still time. Maybe I can get to the location. No biggie.

As I pass mom’s bedroom door, I hear the gun cock.

“Where the fuck were you?”

I look up and it’s Cain standing in the main doorway with blood on his shirt and his gun pointed at me. My thoughts are much louder now.

“Sc...school,” I manage, even though my tongue feels like it’s been stapled to the roof of my mouth.

“Oh, brother. You should have stayed there,” Cain snarls and there’s a loud explosion, causing my heart to jolt and my ears to ring. The painting on the wall beside me falls and shatters against the wooden floor.

“Cain man, I’m sorry!” I scream, ducking the second bullet.

Shit!

“Sorry?” He wields the gun around like an extension of his hand. “What does that even mean? You’re sorry? You’re fucking sorry?” The third bullet falls right by my feet and I drop to the ground, backing away from him.

“You don’t get to be sorry tonight, bitch. Not tonight.”

Shit.

The plan didn’t work.

“Was it you, brother? Do you actually have the balls to betray your family?”

“I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, Cain. Stop!”

Is Abby in the house? How can Cain be this damn reckless? She could wander out into the hallway at any second.

“Are you the fucking rat, Kace?”

Shit.

So there really is a Nark from the D’C clan? Shit.

“No! I swear I’m not, Cain! Just…just put the damn gun down.”

“I don’t care about your swearing, Kace. You’re a worthless two-timing piece of shit and it’s you who should be dead.”

Cain staggers deeper into the house, and I notice that he’s wounded. Who died? Why are so many people dying?

“Let me help you, Cain,” I offer, seeing his limp as he slowly approaches me.

“I don’t want your fucking help!” he bellows, and the walls shake at the impact of his voice.

I can hear mom screaming from her room. She’s been screaming since the second bullet landed in the wall.

Jesus. Cain really doesn’t give a fuck.

There’s an acidic silence looming in the air as he grabs the edge of the couch to get his balance and move toward me.

He’s closer now.

Much closer.

There’s no way he’s going to miss. I squeeze my eyes shut, my chest heaving, tears pouring down my face. Fuck. This is it. I brace myself for the final bullet.

“Stop. Please. Pleeeaasssee!”

I hear mom’s voice and I fall to my knees when I see her crawling on the floor, using the only part of her that still obeys to drag herself out into the hallway, into Cain’s line of fire.
