Never Continued...

"You.... killed Jason...."

His hands behind his back.... now slink to his sides.... the sharp black weapon in his hand...... now raised to eye level.....
A perfect recreation of what happened that night......
I can see it now......

On that night..... It was just me, Jay and Dave in this alley.... we had had a nasty argument just before that.... plain and simply Dave was jealous of us...... why?  I still don't know....... Jay and I were standing deep in the alley..... Dave standing very close the streets... his back to us.... hands in his pockets.... the stars burned above us... the moon a crescent...... the rain started to trickle...... the poured down on us.... but nothing made a difference..... we only stared at David...... No one else was to be seen for miles...... Then there was a sharp turn in the tale....

Dave spun round to face..... we were now facing him at gun point..... more like.... I was his target....... his eyes...... his gun..... fixed on me.......

"Adam..... you....... you are the reason.... for all the hell we're feeling..... why I even put up with you I don't know..... it's your time to die....." "Why the hell do you want Adam to die, Dave?  You can just as easily kill me....."

"I don't know Jason... someone so young.... so carefree should have a chance at life........ but how I would love.... to see Adam suffer."

The shots went off.....
1,2,3,4,5......... but not at me..... at Jason.......

Jason was killed..... instead of me.....
The memory of it all......

Dave, is standing in front of me.... in exactly the same position he was that night.....

"You........ did it..... you killed Jason..."
"And with good reason..... you were trying to take over all 3 of us.... it had to be done or else we all would be dead....."
"What the hell are you talking about?  You know what?  Don't even try explaining to me...."
"Then let's end it all right now........."

My hand clutching my dagger, I lunge it at him in desperation......... The gun fires as it crashes to the floor.... fires straight into my arm..... The fire it creates in my arm burn...... ripping my flesh ruthlessly.... searing the vains.... my blood boils on impact....
And there is David, laughing maniacally at me as he dives at me.... sending me hurtling to the ground..... but taking him with me......  He's up faster than me.... kicking my gut in..... choking me..... One move out of desperation can change it all.... my right arm takes him straight in the jaw......

My screams of agony echo throughout the streets....... not a single soul breaths......

He comes sprinting at me.... the rain blinding him...... and me...... but I see him well enough....
I throw him into a pile of trash cans... his screams of pain taunt me... yet make me smile too.....
I look over my shoulder and see the little black weapon laying there helplessly.... next to it the sharp silver dagger I claim.... I pick both of them up.... and point the gun straight at Dave...... who is now standing less than just a foot away from me..... The cold metal digs into his flesh, leaving its mark there.... But with a single swat... he bats it out of my hands..... and grabbing me with both arms, throws me against the wall..... my head feels the blow first..... My vision a blur.... I don't no where he's at... or where I am..... but now I do....
 
There he hovers over me.... at gun point I lay, once again...... but with one slight chance... the dagger still rests in my hand.....

"This is the end Adam."
"This is for Jason."

With that.... I lunge the dagger straight into his chest..... yet at the same time he fires his gun.... the bullet penetrating my chest......

We're both thrown back from each other...... but we end up with the same result.....
we finally ended this hell..... we both killed each other......

My eyes wide open...... a world of colour..... now turning pitch black........

Yet everything turns white almost instantly..... I sit up.... my clothes... fresh.... new..... I'm not soaked.... the scars on my
body are no longer there..... my body perfectly healed...... feeling myself...... I can't find any gun shot wounds....... I don't even know where I'm at.....

My eyes suddenly covered by a pair of soft, warm hands..... that smell so familiar.....

"Guess who?"

That voice.... it belongs to only one person I know......

"Jason?"
"You guessed!"
"Is this is a dream or something??"
"Nope...."
"Am I really seeing you?"
"Yea."
"But- what happened?  Where, what???"
"Hey hey, relax.... you and David had a final show down..... "
"Where's Dave?"
"Some place you don't want to know......"
"Where am I?"
"You're with me.... and you know where that is....."
