Damn this is hard! She just wouldn't die. It's like my methods are failing me. My strength is useless against her. Why? What's wrong with me? Am I not capable enough to kill someone? 

Is she special or something? I mean she looks like a normal 25 year old woman but has the rejection of a Rattle snake. 

I am good at this. I've killed so many people before. But this one is just so different then all the others. I know we're all different but... she's different. Wow, I sound insane! Probably because I am.

I have her pinned down. "Look at me!" I scream. I need power over her. I need redemption. Her eyes turn slowly towards mine. There's something I don't see every day. 
Her eyes are shining with hope. What? What is this? Is this a joke to her? This just makes me angrier!

"Aren't you afraid!?" I scream confused but also mad at the same time. "Is this a joke to you? A little silly game?" What's wrong with you? Don't you get it... You're going to die!" Maybe I screamed the confidence out of her? Maybe, just maybe.

She starts crying. I can hear her mumbling something. So, I lean in a little closer to hear what she's saying.

"I ...... you" she whispers. I can't make out the middle work. 

"What!?" I say eagerly.

"I ...... you." Her words came out the same as last time.

"You what? Hate me? Blame me? Want me? Kill me? What!? What is it you b-" she cut me off by saying...

"I forgive you... I forgive you... I forgive you..." Each time she said it a little louder and louder untill she screamed it.

"I forgive you!" she screams it into the empty room I took her to.

"Whatever you do to me... I forgive you... Adrian..." Her voice vanishes as she closes her eyes.

She knows my name? She know who I am? Then...? I can't do this to her... 

Shut up! Do it Adrian! My mind wants me to kill her... But my heart doesn't want to. 

I let go of her. She got onto her knees in front of me. She didn't run away?

I hear crying. She's not crying...I am.

I pull out the gun I brought with me. I point it towards her. Her eyes are still filled with hope and... Love.

She says nothing. There's no expression on her face except for her eyes which say a lot. 

"Adrian?..." She asks calmly 

I say nothing. 

I point the gun away from her. 

Now it's pointing at me. 

She isn't ment to be killed. I am. 

"Wait Adrian please d-" I cut her off.

"Please...forgive..." I say sobbing and nearly pulling the trigger.

"Adrian... I forgave you from the start and I still forgive you at the end." she takes the gun out of my hand. 

Is she letting me live? I should kill myself, but she cares. She cares! And that makes me...

I hear a sharp noise. A gun fire. Who...? I feel pain throbbing in my chest. Blood? Blood!? Did she?

I fell backwards. I can hardly breath or move. Her face came in contact with mine. She whispers slowly.

"Can you forgive me?" I can hear sweet voice, but it mixed in with evil.

Her hopeful eyes met my empty sockets. Where's the love from before? 

"I...I..." I stutter. But I came through.

"I'll never forgive you..." the light finally shone.
