7 Ch7 : Billy Kimber's death

Okay, guys, I need your help. I sincerely hope for your help. I started writing an original novel. In order to participate in WSA24, I know that my chances of winning are slim, but I have nothing to lose. I uploaded a chapter a while ago, and so far I have uploaded 6 chapters with approximately 9,000 words, and I will try to upload on a daily basis. Give it a chance. Its name: Survive the apocalypse with my shadows

------------------------------------

*Boom*

Lucas opened his eyes and was still alive. He noticed the silence of the place and looked at everyone in surprise. Why is everyone so silent? But when he saw the expression on their faces, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha what the hell, guys. What's up with your facial expressions?"

Lucas kept laughing, until everyone's faces relaxed and their faces regained vitality. Everyone was in shock, especially the Shelby family. They were not prepared to lose their brother like this after his return. And also poor boy Andrew, for him there is no more important person in this world than Lucas. Lucas's men also had panic on their faces.

"Okay, okay, Billy, let's continue our game. It's your turn now."

Billy looked at Lucas's hand holding the gun and extended towards him. He was truly terrified when he saw Lucas put the gun to his head and fire. At the same time, he wanted Lucas to die so that this madness would end, but he did not die. It's possible that the next shot actually kills him.

Billy took the gun from Lucas and looked at Lucas, noticing Lucas laughing. ^ Damn this lunatic, why the hell did you mess with his family. If I had known that this was the case, I would have left this damned city a long time ago. ^ Billy cursed Lucas in his thoughts.

Billy put the gun to his head from the side, closed his eyes, and fired.

*Boom* 

The sound of a bullet appeared and the smell of gunpowder filled the place, but it was strange. Billy's brain exploded, damn man. Not from the side where the gun was placed, but from the front. Billy's forehead has a hole now.

"What the hell do you think you're doing now Lucas?" While Lucas was trying to process and understand what happened now, he heard a woman's voice from behind him.

"Oh, Polly, what are you doing here?" When he recognized the voice, Lucas turned to look at Polly as she held the gun raised towards him, with smoke coming out of the gun's nozzle. It was clear to everyone that she had actually shot Billy in the head.

"Why did you kill my friend here? We were in the middle of a wonderful gam…."

*slap*

Lucas could not finish his words and received a slap from Polly. Lucas could not believe what was happening now. For the first time since his childhood, he received a slap like this. He looked at Polly in shock.

"How dare you slap Lucas," Andrew shouted as he approached Polly and Lucas.

But before he rushed towards her, he received a glare from Lucas. Andrew rooted himself in place and remained silent.

"Why are you slapping me, Polly?"

"Are you really asking me, you motherfucker? Now you've come back from the dead and you dare to play a stupid game while gambling with your life. You think this is any fun, Lucas?" Polly shouted at Lucas as she grabbed the collar of his suit.

"Answer me, Lucas. Why are you silent now? If you die, you idiot, what about us? Return to your damned senses."

"This is my fault, Polly. I'm sorry. But I didn't want the situation to end with more casualties."

"So you sacrifice yourself for everyone? Now look at everyone, your men or something, look into their eyes. Your family, look into their eyes. Do you see them waiting for your sacrifice? If you die now, no one will forgive themselves."

"Tsk...you're always annoying, Lucas, just like when you were a kid, you only cared about others and didn't care about your damned self."

Lucas remained standing there staring at Polly's back. He wanders around in his thoughts, not knowing what to do now. "Thank you, Lucas. If you weren't here, some people would have died or even many would have been injured." Lucas noticed a hand on his shoulder, then looked at its owner and saw Thomas.

"But I still cannot agree with this way of resolving the matter, Lucas. Rely on us a little. We are your family, brother. Do not carry everything alone."

"Let's go, Andrew." Lucas left the place, with Andrew next to him and his men behind him, and headed towards the palace.

In Lucas's bedroom in the mansion, Lucas was sitting at his desk, looking down while his hands were on his head.

[Lucas's Pov]

I don't know what the hell is going on. I always lose my mind like this and that for no reason. I'm really tired, I want to end this damned life but I can't. I have my responsibilities. I can't leave everyone like this and just go.

Look at the picture in the frame on my desk. I missed you Emily, you were my light in this hell. I don't know what to do now without you, my dear. I really miss you. After what happened to you, I couldn't forgive myself. If only....if I had been there for you, no one would have dared to do what happened to you.

I can't die now. I will live for you. for him.
