Eternal Love - Love-generated Hatred Part 3

The sound created when Jamie's shoes made contact with the concrete floor echoed through the silent corridor as Jamie neared the site where Ken would be killed. Everyone in the hall was too engrossed with the performances on stage that they failed to notice an armed Jamie entering the hall resonating with laughter, applause and blaring music. Jamie had a serious look on her face, which was a stark contrast to the exuberance being displayed by both students and teachers. No form of entertainment going on on stage had the capability of producing a smile on her face, as Jamie waited patiently for her prey.

"Now, let us welcome Ken Cartson on stage. A talented saxophonist, he will take this opportunity to showcase his talent in front of Miss Lowe by playing one of his self-composed pieces and I am certain he is able to bring the house down with that one piece of notes which till now, I have yet to figure out how to read them. Ken Cartson please," a teacher announced as Ken made his way to the centre of the stage with a saxophone in hand.

The students and teachers sitted in the hall should be more vigilant with their surroundings as they failed to notice Jamie taking aim at the back of the hall. Their lack of vigilance proved fatal as Jamie pulled the trigger not once, but four times in a row, resulting in an exodus of panicked students and teachers from the hall. The situation in the hall was extremely chaotic. People were screaming and shouting as they desperately tried to escape from the gunfire. Despite the shoving and pushing, Jamie managed to squeeze past the chaotic crowd with the help of the pistol as she eased her way towards a dying Ken.

"Why...did...you.....d..do...t..t..that for?"

"Does the name Kaitlin Macen ring a bell? If it does not, I will tell you who she is. Kaitlin Macen was the girl whom you had defeated last year in the annual music competition held by Kalton College. She was an individual who had zero tolerance for defeat and it was because of that defeat and the subsequent events which followed that culminated in her death. I do not care if she was a stranger, but she was not for she was my SISTER! You robbed me of my sister, the sister whom I loved and respected dearly. She was the one who imparted her saxophone skills to me and she would always be there to protect me when the need arose. When I went to collect her body at the mortuary, I vowed to kill you and to make things easier, I enrolled into Kalton College so as to get close to you. I created the impression that we were friends by playing a duet with you and apologising to you for that incident yesterday, but you were wrong. I have no intention of being friends with a murderer, and especially with one who is responsible for the death of an individual whom I will love eternally," Jamie explained before placing the pistol at Ken's head.

"I am wondering how your brain will look like if I pull the trigger now," Jamie asked as Ken struggled to catch his breath.

"Jamie, are....you...the...se...ser..serial...ki..ki..killer....t...t...?"

"So what if I am? My hobby is to kill people. The more people I kill, the greater is the satisfaction that I receive. My sister told me through a dream that she wanted to be the best musician in the country, and I offered to help her. Nothing beats helping my sister achieve her dream," a sadistic Jamie continued before driving another bullet into Ken as blood oozed out from another gunshot wound.

It did not take long before Jamie accompanied Ken to Heaven as she drove a bullet into her head.
