Despotism | Completed

I screamed his name, my voice piercing the sound barrier that filled the tense halls as I watched his body fall to the ground in slow motion, the whole scene acting as though it weren't really happening. Shaky breaths were taken in by my mouth while I heard endless amounts of chaos around the building. Screaming and crying filled the shadows while I stopped and stood a few feet away in shock. I took in no other place within the hall besides his position, making my way over to him as quickly as possible while my previous meal churned within my stomach and threatening to come out as bile rose in my throat. As I came closer to his body, I noticed the deep wound in his leg and how the shot had ricocheted off of his leg and onto his body cavity. Dozens of holes of shrapnel pierced his skin and overall body cavity that had always been open to me no matter how much I denied that I needed his help. While I gazed at him, vision blurry with tears, I realized that the moment I was experiencing was life altering as I found myself staring at him with my mouth agape as though I had no idea what to do.All I could see and feel in that moment was one thing: blood. It covered my hands and his, the clothes he was wearing were drenched in the crimson color, and the entire floor was swallowed within the puddle covering it. His skin was going white and the look upon his face told me that he knew what was happening before I even did.**Bro so much stuff is gonna happen, you won't even know what hit you. Bro, good luck....Last installment of 'The Code' trilogy. Please refer to my bio for the order and my profile or reading list for the other books!
