"Can't stop what's already begun, darling," he shot back.
Coyly raising one brow at Christian, he edged the tip of one foot towards Anastasia.

The blood drained from his finger with the pressure he was now applying in self-restraint. He couldn't stop the undulating waves of dark sentiments, and, in all honesty, he felt somewhat like a murderer.
"Don't even think about it."

The color had drained from her face when she saw just how serious Christian was.
"D-don't...don't..." She pleaded.
Guns had always made her nervous, thanks to her memory of the day that had nearly ended (and nearly destroyed) her life. Now was no exception.

After a brief moment of meditation, Sid hurtled forward and gathered Anastasia in both arms, pulling them both to the ground near the doorway.

Heartstrings pulled, Christian pulled once on the trigger. The bullet whizzed past Sid's figure and into the soft wood of the bed frame, as Christian looked on, amazed at the resulting hole. He clutched his damp brow and retreated a few steps.
"I...I can't believe I just did that. I didn't mean to--I mean--"

She cried out in surprise when Sid grabbed her, the breath getting knocked out of her body when they both hit the floor. It wasn't until the sound of the gunshot that she screamed and cowered.

"Still don't believe me?" he murmured into her ear.
Sid rolled away from her and sat up, breathless. He pointed one finger at Christian.
"Like I said...Christopher."

He released his hold upon the gun, which fell to the ground with a clatter, and held up his hands. Slowly backing into the far wall, he slid down into a crouching position but continued to stare at the wound in the bed frame.
"Oh, my god..."

A not entirely unpleasant shiver went through her at the whisper, but she quickly shrugged that off when he moved. Taking a chance, tried to crawl away as fast as possible.

"Hey--where are you going?" he called after her retreating figure. "I just saved your life! Oh, come on! You just witnessed 'Christian' himself pulling the trigger. Don't tell me you're still going off to be with him!"

He concealed his face with both hands and began to quietly weep.

"If you'd pay attention, you see what effect that had on him!"
She headed over to Christian, trying to ignore the sensory memory of Sid falling on top of her. Why in the world would she think about that?

"It's called bluffing!" he shot back, crossing his arms in outright defiance.

He couldn't help his crying; his world, as he knew it, was crumbling.
"To think I almost killed you..." he whispered.

She knelt next to Christian, putting a comforting arm around his shoulders.
"Shh...it's all right."
