Charles' POV
"There's a sniper in the compound! Go to the safe room immediately, we need to take whoever it is down." Zion said through the emergency system we have in place. His voice blared across rooms in the mansion.
"Shit, Anita! She must be in that damn kitchen." I stood up from my bed abruptly and rushed out crawling to keep away from the windows.
I didn't know if the intruders were already in the mansion or if it was just a lone shooter. I soon got to the kitchen and I saw a pool of blood flowing from behind the kitchen island.
Pain shot through my chest, I can't lose her now! We are supposed to grow old together and not lose each other.
I moved closer and saw blood polling from her shoulders, I checked her pulse and realized that she was still alive. She has lost so much blood though.
I tore my pajamas open and placed pressure on the bullet wound. She was completely unconscious.
