Raven Part Seven

~Chapter Seven~1

After what seems like the longest moment of silence and stares to ever come over the earth, Mr. Kristoph finally collapsed under the pressure.2

"Please don't kill me!" he cries.3

"Why on earth would we want to kill you?" I ask in a sly voice.4

"Well, I um," he starts to say.5

"I'm listening," I tell him impatiently.6

Slowly he reaches into his pocket, not taking those grey eyes off me all the while.  Then he pulls out a simple hand gun, that I quickly realize is loaded.7

"Aidan!" I cry, "get my sister out of here!"8

"Right," Aidan replies, grabbing my sister by the arm and pulls her towards the door.9

"What about you?" asks Hawk, struggling against Aidan's efforts to fulfill my command.10

"Don't mind me, just go!" I yell.11

"Okay," she whispers and flies out the door with Aidan.12

I turn back to Mr. Kristoph as he takes his aim at me.13

"Going to kill me?" I ask him.14

He gives no reply, but gets ready to pull the trigger.15

I am to quick for him.  As he fires at me, I quickly dodge each shot, hiding behind various objects.  My movements are almost catlike to the average person.  After about the fifth shot, I jump out from behind the couch and run into the dining room.16

"Hawk, call the police," I say in my mental cry.17

"Already done," she answers instantly.18

With that much for reassurance, I keep running forth into my bedroom.19

"Come out, come out, where ever you are," says Mr. Kristoph in a play like voice.20

I slam the door shut and lock it, as he starts climbing the stairs.  My heart is racing with panic, causing a sharp pain in my chest.  I know I have to get out of the house, but the only way is out my window, and I'm too high to jump...21
