Bleed It Out ((Ryan, Ashley, etc.))

[Michaelan Robinson]

Her eyes were cold as she watched her sister, Ash, and her cousin, Ryan eat ice cream together. She was going through HELL and they were having fun and enjoying ICE CREAM!?! The two were going to get what they deserved, and she was going to give it out to them. It was time for them to feel what she felt.

With her newly cut and dyed hair, different eye color, and her paler skin, neither of them could tell who she was. She walked into the parlor and sat behind them. She watched them closely, listening to every word. Her mind was going through all of the places that she could set fire to, the people they cared about... It was going to be perfection.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Raising his spo*on and letting the ice cream enter his mouth, Ryan blinked; feeling a sudden shiver run up and down his spine. Danger would ensue, that much was for sure; and much more, he had Ashley with him this time. There was always that internal part of him, he knew, that would somehow sense some sort of unknown danger.

Unfortunately; he never knew what that danger would be.

He dropped his spo*on, seeing it fall to the ground and bending over to pick it up; taking a new spo*on and using it to eat, his mind running over and over again.

What would go wrong?

[Ashley Renolds]

Ashley saw that something was wrong when she looked at Ryan. She felt something behind her, and her curiousity made her turn and look behind her. As she stared into the woman's eyes, a fear came. She blinked and studied her when she looked away. She looked famillier. Ash turned around, knowing that her worries were all over her face. She looked at Ryan and sighed."Who is she?" she asked in a hushed, urgent voice.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Ryan swallowed, turning his head to face Ashley and closing his eyes. "I-I'm not sure. She's.. she's really familiar, but I can't place just who she is.." he murmured, this time stirring his ice cream with his utensil, unable to get his mind straight. "We have to go. Now. Something bad's going to happen," he said, taking out his wallet and placing the money on the table, before helping Ashley up and starting to walk; quickly.

"We can't afford you to get hurt again."

[Michaelan Robinson]

So, Ryan knew what Mickey was up to, did he? She laughed loudly at his attempt to get Ashley out of there. She was too stubborn, though. They both knew it. She stood up and walked past him, her eyes staring coldly into his. She knew he knew who she was now. She walked out and walked into a large store next door. She smiled with satisfaction. They knew she was here... they knew they were in danger.

Ashley stared at Ryan with a horrified expression, as she too, knew who it was."Ry-Ryan...She's h-he-here," she stammered, fear in every word. Despite everything, it still scared her to think of Michaelan.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Lips curving to frown, Ryan nodded. ".. Apparently so. We're going to have to get out of this one.. without any help this time," he muttered, continuing to walk, in a little bit of a rush considering the situation he was currently in. Goshdarnit, she just had to show up now, did she?!

Hazel optics widening in horror at the sudden remembrance of Michaelan, Ryan bit his lower lip; somehow drawing blood.

".. Darnit."

[Michaelan Robinson]

Ash closed her eyes and looked followed Ryan. Why did she had to get anywhere near them? Enough was going on already. She ran where she was next to Ryan. She grabbed his arm tightly, thinking of what she did to her step-dad. She shivered, her mind on what she promised Ash before they took her away."Yeah... They didn't tell us that she got out of prisin, Ryan. Why wouldn't they?" she asked in a whisper.

Mickey watched them and she sblack personed. This was going to be fun. Two CSIs against an arsonist. All family. From Ash's slowness, it looked like she was getting over something. No wonder Ryan was even more protective than usual...

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Ryan shook his head, sighing and placing a hand on his gun holster. "They're probably incompetent bastards. We just need to get out of this one alive, Ash. We just need to get out of this one alive," he continued, before finally deciding against it and picking her up, placing her on his back and starting to run, taking out his phone and pressing speed dial.

"Yeah, Frank, this is Ryan. We've got an escaped prisoner. Armed and dangerous," he muttered into the phone, closing it and running towards his Hummer.

No way was he gonna lose this one.

Not this time.

[Ashley Renolds]

Ash was feeling so many different things, and all of them were negative. She hated herself for the way she handled this, which was very badly. She looked down and sighed slightly. They were at the Hummer, and she went to the passenger side. She wasn't driving because one, it wasn't hers, and two, she wasn't sure where he was going this time. Michaelan would find them, wherever they went.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

To say the least, Ryan Wolfe was very pissed off.

Firstly, someone out to get him was back. Back from a place he thought nobody would be able to escape from. At least, without any news given to police officers.

Secondly, he had someone to protect; and someone he couldn't afford to lose.

Thirdly, he apparently did not, and could not lose this battle.

Fourthly, he had to do as best he can without any back-up. At least, not for the next few minutes.

Fifthly, his toe was itching; and he couldn't really scratch it at a time like this.

He frowned, growled a little and slipped into the driver's seat, fixing his mirrors before backing out a little quicker than normal, but still; drastic times call for drastic measures. Letting out one unprofessional swear, he started to drive.

[Ashley Renolds]

Michaelan watched him back away, and she grinned. "so the chase continues," she whispered as she ran to her own black Mustang. She cranked the car and was out, one car behind Ryan. She wasn't going to lose sight of him.

Ash looked from the sideview mirrors and saw her."She's one car behind us... In an '07 Mustang," she said quietly, her eyes not going off of her face. She couldn't let herself look away and possibly miss something.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

"Darnit!" Ryan cursed, flooring it and increasing his speed. "What the bloody heck does she want from us, anyway?! We left her alone, just like she wanted, and she just pops up wanting to kill us?!" he frowned, barely being able to pass the red light. He continued, hoping that by some miracle he would be able to reach the lab in time.

And miracles just seemed to be running out with him.

[Ashley Renolds]

Before Ashley could reply, her phone started to ring. A little relief came to her as she listened to the words of the song she set it as -Never Too Late by Three Days Grace. She looked at the number and found that she didn't know the number. Her eyes went to Michaelan and saw the phone to her ear."She has my freakin' number?!?" she yelled, astounded. She dropped the phone and turned her head to see that she was now behind them."One car now," she whispered. She saw her mouth move to the words, 'Answer your d**n phone'.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

"Now, that, is what I call a stalker," Ryan muttered, frowning heavily and continuing to move. "How in the fourteen heeeeells does she manage to do these things?!" he shouted, completely frustrated at his inability to do anything right. He looked behind him, wondering what she was going to do; before praying to God that he would manage to reach the crime lab in time. For Ashley's sake, that he would be able to get her inside in time.

Before Michaelan did anything stupid.

[Ashley Renolds]

(Blue is Ash, green is Mickey)

The phone rang again. This time, she answered and stared at her face in the mirror.

"What do you want?"
"Too see your charred bodies in a bag."
"...What the F*** did we do, Michaelan?"
"You have everything, Ashley. You even have someone who has feelings for you. Ryan's loved by everyone..."
"B-But... how the HELL did you get my number?!?"
"It wouldn't be a mystery if I told you... actually, it would be a felon. Tell Ryan that I'll kill you if you get anywhere near the crime lab. Oh, and Ashley?"
"What?"
"You might wanna kiss your boyfriend goodbye."

click.

Ashley stared, terrified as Michaelan laughed."She's....she...she's said she's gonna...Erics in danger," she whispered, her voice cracking with terror."Don't go to the lab, Ryan... No, go to the lab.... Go," she whispered, not wanting him to know what she said about that.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Ryan's eyes widened a little, and he frowned in frustration. Go, or no go? Which one to choose? He looked towards Ashley, stopping the car for a moment in a rather.. hard to reach spot. One of the smallest alleyways, that only select few cars could fit in. ".. Switch places. You and I, switch places. You drive," he muttered, his eyes suddenly serious; what was normally joyful, innocent hazel turning into something entirely different.

"Just do it, okay?!"

[Ashley Renolds]

Ash looked at him with hard eyes. There was n way that she could put him in anymore danger."No, Ryan. Just go to the d**n lab. Please, just...please," she said, her voice hardening only slightly. She looked down and satyed firmly planted on her seat. There was no way that Ryan could get hurt because of her own fear.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

"Fine. I trust you, Ash," Ryan said, a look of sudden admiration in his deep hazel pools, before he started to move the Hummer again, this time in the direction she instructed; the lab. Hopefully she knew what she was doing. Surprisingly, the male had no idea of what to do anymore. He lacked something. Something he supposed he lost a long time ago.

But he couldn't quite place what that something was.

[Ashley Renolds]

She stared behind her, and she couldn't see the Mustang. She looked around around their surroundings, but she wasn't there. Ash stared ahead now, her eyes round with fear. She saw the lab, and outside of it was a black Mustang with her at the wheel. She was staring at her frown the side mirror. As they stopped, she got out, as did Ash. Michaelan was too quick, because by the time that Ash got out, she had fired the gun.

It went in her chest, so close to her heart. Ash fell to the ground, blacking out before she touched the ground. The blood was turning into a river; a flodding one, at that.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Ryan had been a little hesitant letting Ashley out first, especially with the sight of, well, that, there. And then at that moment, as he was about to get out and just get this over and done with--

--a shot was fired.

Hazel optics widening, Ryan removed his gun from its holster; swearing unprofessionally and aiming it at Michaelan, obvious hate appearing in his dark eyes. "Just die already!" he shouted, tears welling up in his eyes as he pulled the trigger, not really caring if it missed or not.

Then he ran, oh hell he ran, towards Ashley's form; cursing all the way, and taking out his phone, dialing 911.

He hoped he wasn't too late.

Hoped.

[Ashley Renolds]

Darkness. No light anywhere, just a suffocating darkness that overwhelmed the once free minded Ashley. Now the only thing she could think was the darkness. She couldn't feel when someone held her, and she couldn't hear the words from anyones' mouths. She was losing blood, too much blood.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Ryan watched as a hospital pulled up, those men in white walking out and picking her up; placing her on a stretcher. He had aggressively stressed that he accompany her, and had been granted permission. First, Michaelan appears out of nowhere, then, Ashley gets shot.. how bad would life be to him!? Would he stumble, suddenly, and spiral down until he dies?

It was like life was mocking him.

All over again.

[Ashley Renolds]

The struggled to stop the bleeding, and it work, thank God. The bullet was lodged deep in there, but they just cared to stopp the bleeding before it was too late.

Ash's eyes struggled to open, and she saw the fuzzy forn of Ryan."Ry," she whispered, her voice weak. It hurt too much to speak, so she just listened to the people talking. An interesting thought hit her head, just there to get her mind off of the pain; Why do they wear white if they are getting blood on their clothes?

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

"Morning princess-- shoot, I don't think I should make you laugh, the blood flow might increase and, aw, GOD, I think I'm rambling again and then people would think I'm weird and I'd never get married and end up as an old man with twenty-seven cats and an oversized cow in a house nobody likes because it eats people and oh darn I think I already accomplished the old part--" Ryan paused mid-ramble.

"Uh, I mean, relax. Don't, er, strain yourself. Yeah."

[Ashley Renolds]

Ash smiled slightly at him, and put a hand up to stop him."Y-your not an ol-old m-ma-man,"she whispered and reached for his hand slowly. Her eyes were starting to close again, although she wouldn't sleep again. She had another smile on her face, thankful that she made it this far.

[RYAN WOLFE!™]

Ryan felt a slightly sad smile appear on his face, and he held her hand, grasping it softly and giving a reassuring squeeze. "Thanks. Now, relax, okay? I'm going to be here the whole time. Don't ever think you're alone," he said, hoping that it would reassure her; that while she was fighting, he was here, cheering her on.

.. Just, not in the uniform. His midsection would be exposed!
