What Chapter In Haunting Adeline Is The Gun Scene Novels & Stories

He seemed to understand the look in my eyes so he spoke up. “Let him see, Evelyn. Let him see how far you’ve come while he was busy destroying himself.” My thoughts ran wild but soon a dangerous smile appeared on my face. “Fine,” I stated, my voice dripping with venom. “If we are going to burn him down, we might as well do it in the spotlight.” Leo suddenly froze near the couch, with his head tilted. Then he waddled toward me with something pinched between his fingers. “Mama… I found this.”

She’s still near the chief, still within killing distance, but she’s injured which slowed her movements. I make a mad dash for her, quickly pulling a pistol out of my holster– aiming straight for the chief. BANG! BANG! Two thunderous gunshots ring in the air, for some reason, sounding heavier than the fighting in the background. But wait, my finger is still resting on the trigger… I didn’t fire those two rounds… My eyes widen in realization, my mouth dropping open as an agonized scream rips from my throat. I watch helplessly as Adeline stumbles and falls to the ground.

He screamed and fell on top of me. Frightened, I pulled his body away from me and saw him bleeding. Confused, I ran my hand over my face, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Adeline with the gun in her hand. Her hands were shaking so badly that she dropped the gun to the floor; He leaned next to a chair. “Adeline! I walked over to her and held her face. She was startled and pulled away. "Calm down, it's me!" It is me…

I cried but Darren and Celine already had their mind made up as Darren placed the gun on Adeline’s stomach. “M… mommy.” Adeline cried, staring at me and before I could blink, the sound of gunshots filled the air and the smell of gunpowder followed. Watching with my mouth opened and my eyes wide as Darren dropped Adeline’s lifeless body on the cold, hard ground. “Adeline?” I muttered as I crawled to her side but her face was pale, she wasn’t smiling and her eyes were closed. She was bleeding profusely and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her to open her eyes. I couldn’t get her to call me ‘mommy’ once again.

Her hand was steady as if she had been holding a gun all her life. Tommy's face suddenly changed as he realized she was being serious. "Adeline. Don't do this. You aren't a murderer. You don't belong with that criminal. So you should forget about everything and...." Tommy stopped talking as the sound of an explosion interrupted him. Damien looked at Adeline to make sure she was okay, but she stood still with the gun still pointed at Tommy. It took him a few seconds for Damien to notice the giant hole in Tommy's forehead. Adeline shot him mid-sentence.
