[13] Attack Scarlet.

You’ve had odds like this before… Maybe not against someone as trained as Scarlet, but definitely against someone who is acting on emotions like hers. You bolt towards her and try to close the distance while strafing left and right.

Scarlet watches you, stepping back while letting out a few angry bullets in your strafing advance. You make it relatively close to her, but before you can jump on top of her, she manages to punch two 45.ACP bullets into you, which knocks most of the fight out of your cold system as you crush into her.

There’s a brief fight between you and Scarlet, but she overcomes and straddles you while holding you down. Still holding onto her pistol, she begins to whip you with it until all you can do is lay there.

You know you’re a terrible sight when Scarlet stands up. She’s huffing and cursing. When she talks, you can hear sadness in her voice. “God damn it, Warren! GOD DAMN IT! You…you weren’t supposed…”

The bullets hurt, but you think the metal frame cracking against your head half a dozen times was the worst thing you’ve ever experienced in your lifetime. Cold sinks into your body as you feel the blood drain from the cuts on your head and new air holes. You try to say something, but the teeth in the back of your throat make it difficult to manage anything more than a few gurgles.

You close your eyes and sigh. You shouldn't feel peaceful, but you do... When you open your eyes, you see Astrid above you. Her eyes are full of tears as she stares down at you. You exhale. She kneels beside you and places a hand on your chest. The pain goes away. "It's all I can do," she whimpers. You nod and crack a smile.

Alexandra is hysterical in the background; you think Scarlet is going to shoot her next, but something else happens…There’s indeed another gunshot, but what surprises you is that it doesn’t come from Scarlet; It came from the outside.

Scarlet falls to the ground as fragments of her skull splatter the room. You can hear her pistol clattering to the floor boards, but nothing is easy to do right now, so you just lay there with your eyes closed, ready for the afterlife.

ENDING #13: No Witnesses | BAD ENDING

This is the first ending I had the pleasure of adding to the storyline in months. I hope you enjoyed the content that I have put out on display! I will be adding an option for the story to continue, but for now, this is where the story ends.
