“Adrian…” I shake my head. “I didn’t mean to that time… I don’t want to now…” “Nothing will happen to you.” “Yes, it will if you don’t stay away.” Luca presses the weapon harder against my temple. Something glints in the darkness in Adrian’s hand and my eyes widen as I recognize the gun. Luca seems to have noticed it, too, because he pulls me back in one swift movement. I shriek as a bullet is fired. Bang!
