The Sound of a Gun

Short death scene. Same characters as "The Knife"

The sound of a gun being shot echoed out. Jem heard it and felt herself stagger into the wall before she even realised she'd been shot. She felt cold as her body slid down the wall. She didn't see the glistening, red trail she'd left behind. Her body landed on the ground with a thump. She felt one hand cradle her while the other put heavy pressure on her chest.

"Jem."

She could see the silhouette of Jack. She tried to focus on the detail but it was too dark and her vision was blurring. She tried to lightly squeeze Jack's hand. She could feel her breath grow more rapid. She tried to speak but her voice just rasped. She could feel her eyelids fluttering.

"Stay with me, stay with me Jem." His voice broke.

Was Jack crying? She tried to turn her neck to see but she was exhausted. She squeezed his hand again before slowly shutting her eyes letting the fight drain out of her.

Nice short chapter. Is this a chapter in a book you are writing? Also, in the last paragraph, did you mean to write "Shutting HER eyes"?

Thanks for the review. It's just a one shot I wrote. Yep, thanks for letting me know, I've corrected it now.
