The sight of Melinda’s mangled body was by far the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. Until this very moment I had no idea Ruby could be so ruthless and so destructive. I did not like the dead woman sprawled out in front of me. After all she was really trying to hurt my daughter even though she fucked that up. But I wouldn’t wish what happened to her on anyone else Ruby included. I was stuck there staring at her like a deer caught in headlights unable to move. I was surprised to find that deep down inside I was actually completely terrified. I’ve been through a lot of shit in my life, some that would scare the pants off of most, but this was horrific.Shane grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me with more force than needed. I wondered how I looked to make him have such a worried gleam in his eyes. “Emma, we have to get the others who fucking knows where Ruby is right now, and we all heard her say she was going to take us all out one by one.” I nodded in agreement as we ran up
I was foggy for a few minutes while I tried reopening my eyes. The room was covered in a thick black fog of smoke, and I could smell something that smelt of fire and burnt flesh but the black cloud in the room was preventing me from seeing where it came from. My ears were ringing, and I could barely hear anything. I was pretty sure the slight sound making its way into my ears was Natasha screaming. I really hoped she was okay, but I still couldn’t see anything. I sat up and tried popping my ears to no success. All I could do was sit there and wait for my ears to stop ringing or for some of the fog to dissipate. A few minutes passed and suddenly all the noise came rushing in. I felt like I was in a room with thousands of people instead of just five. I called out to each of them in turn and everyone answered me saying they were okay except for Kyle. I was relieved when Shane said that he was fine but not getting an answer from Kyle was almost as painful as if it was my future husband.
A steady stream of blood started squirting out of Kyles chest and at that moment all I wanted to do was punch Shane in the face for his idiocy. I pushed Shane out of the way and put both of my hands on Kyles wound and started applying as much pressure as I could. “One of you please try to find me a towel or something I can hold over this injury or he might very well bleed out.” I said with a shaky voice. I was freaking out I knew it and I didn’t know how to stop myself from spiraling.“Do as Emma requests, and while you are at it get me a sewing kit, I saw one in the bathroom near the kitchen. I can sew his wound up I have done it before on far worse injuries.” Jennifer said. I sighed with relief as Tony crawled away to get the supplies. I knew in that moment before the day was over Ruby would no longer be breathing. She was not going to get away with hurting yet another person I loved.Tony came back with my sewing kit and a few towels. Jennifer did not hesitate to get to work. She h
I was too scared to open my eyes or move. The back of my head was throbbing something awful, but I barely noticed it because of the wet feeling I had between my legs. I could hear Shane and Natasha by my sides, but I couldn’t make out a word they were saying. No, it was more like trying to listen to some one while I was under water. Slowly but surely their words started making sense to me. They both were trying to tell me to open my eyes and that I was okay. Didn’t they see my water broke or that something happened to the babies, and I was bleeding?I tried to find my voice, but it wouldn’t come to me. I finally focused all my strength to open my eyes. I forced my eye lids to rise, and I stared up at the ceiling blinking a few times. At first my vision was blurry probably caused by the knock to my head. But after blinking a few times I began to see clearly. I turned my head sideways and looked at Shane. “How bad is it? Was it my water that broke or is it blood I am too afraid to look.
“Finally! I have been waiting for this day for to long now. It is a shame that I do not have the time to take out your little minions but taking you off the face of this world will have to be enough for now. How did you manage to call the police? I have a phone jammer around this property.” Ruby said with sadness, excitement and confusion all wrapped in one. At that moment I felt like an idiot. Why didn’t a single one of us, especially Jennifer, think to try and call for help? It had to be because of the adrenaline we all were experience. If she really does have a phone jammer around my house than it would have been useless regardless. Kyle could have deactivated it with his equipment if it was not out in his van outside. “Surprisingly it was not a single one of us. You are a fucking idiot to think you can booby trap our exits and when we activated one that a neighbor wouldn’t call it in. Aunt Pamela really must have dropped you on your head one to many times. I feel so sorry for you
“You have got to be fucking kidding me! Who the hell does this bitch think she is, Houdini? Did any of you see where Ruby disappeared to this time?” I asked out of frustration. She was worse than a damn cockroach. As soon as you see it you go to kill it and it evaporates into thin air. I could see out my bedroom window that the first police cruiser and a firetruck had arrived. They are going to have a mess of a time trying to get us out of this damn death trap of a house.I looked at everyone around me and I could tell by there pissed off face they too had no idea where she slipped away to this time. I was very disappointed. I didn’t want this bullshit to continue I really wanted this to be the end. Was she always going to be in the shadows mocking me for the rest of my days? This was so nerve racking.We all started heading downstairs to wait for the rescue team. “I am curious how she locked us inside.” Kyle said curiously. I was wondering the same thing. The front door and windows a
At first, I could not comprehend how I once again found myself waking up in the hospital. My first thought was about how much time had passed this time around. I looked around the room and for the first time no one was by my side. This worried me a great deal. Even if no one else was here, I was really worried as to why Shane was not. I wondered what happened after Ruby sped off away from the police and what detective Morris did with my family and friends.I also seriously hoped they did not catch my cousin. If they did none of us could get to her and we all knew very well that she still had people on her side willing to work with her. Otherwise, she would not have had a getaway driver to get her far away from my house after the police arrived. It took me a few minutes to realize my babies were not moving around and kicking me. I instinctively put my hands on my stomach only to find it was completely flat where a big bulge should be.I began panicking, however I quickly calmed myself
My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
