The Muffin Or The Hammer

"People know we're here." Jenny threatens the man as he looms over us. "No, they don't." He said and he starts to kneel down and grab Jenny. She screams and he slams her up against a pillar and begins to choke her. I get up and jump on his back and wrap my arm around his neck while Jenny tries scratching at his face.

He then tosses Jenny across a table then grabs my arms as I try tightening them against his throat. He then reaches around to grab my leg and was able to pull me off of him and tosses me off to the side, crashing into another table.

I groaned and try to get up as I see the man, now some feet away from me, go after Jenny but she grabs a face mask, puts it over her face and grabs a container of powdered drugs and flings it at the man, getting it all over his face. He yells and groans as he falls back against a wall and dies.

Jenny then takes off the mask as I slowly get up. "(Y/n)? You okay?" She calls out. "Well, besides the fact my back will hate me in the morning...I'll live." I quipped as I get to my feet and walk over to her. Once I hold a hand out to her, she takes it and I get her to her feet. At that moment, we heard a door opening and we quickly get out of the cellar.

Once we get outside, we hide basically in the shadows of the corners of the cabin. Jenny looks out then turns to me and gestures for me to follow her. We run out and head towards where we hid the jeep when the clean shaven southern accented man catches us and we stopped.

"Travis." Jenny said, breathlessly. Oh, this is the Travis she told me about. I thought. "Jenny...Jenny, you and your friend gotta go, now." Travis tells her. "Come with us." Jenny said as she walks up to him. "No. No." Travis said while I grab her arm. "Jenny." I said, worried, and she pulls her arm away from me. "No, Jenny...Jenny, listen to me. Both of you take this path to the south gate. It's gonna lead you two to the road, okay?" Travis said as she shakes her head.

"You gotta be quiet." He tells us. "Travis, please. You can still get away. This could be your only chance to get out. Come on. Please." Jenny pleads to him and Travis had a conflicting look on his face. "Jenny, we need to go..." I said, warningly, as Travis backs away from her and points his gun at us.

"I'm sorry, Jenny. You should listen to your friend." He said as Jenny gives him a stern look. "You gotta go." He said, shakily, and I could tell he didn't want to hurt us, especially Jenny. He cocks his gun and I grab her arm again. "Jenny..." I said and she glares at Travis once more before we take off back to her jeep and head off.

We make it to her house and after licking our wounds, so to speak, I look over at her. "Do you want me to stay?" I asked her. "I mean, what happened back there was a mess..." I said and Jenny nods. "Yeah, it was. I screwed up." She said, tearfully. "You only did what you thought was right." I assured her and I go to hug her just as we hear a knock at the back door.

"That's probably Cassie." Jenny said as we pull back from the hug, as we were recovering Jenny called Cassie and asked her to come over. I nod and I go over to the door and open it. "Thanks for coming." I tell Cassie as she enters. "Yeah. Are you guys okay?" Cassie asked us while I shut the door. "I'm okay but..." I said as I gesture to Jenny, who has her back to us and leaning against the countertop.

"Where's Kai?" She asked Cassie. "Um...he's still at my Aunt Cathy's." Cassie said and Jenny turns to face us, distraught written all over her face. "Jenny, what happened to you?" Cassie asked. "I screwed up, Cassie...really badly." Jenny replied.

"What?" Cassie whispered. "I-I can't be alone right now. I-I don't know what to do." Jenny stammers and Cassie goes to hug her. "We'll figure it out. Just tell me what happened." Cassie said as Jenny hugs her back.

"Here you go. Gimme the old ones." Cassie said to us, the next day, as she hands me and Jenny two freshly cold ice packs for our bruises that we sustained from last night. We hand her the old ice packs and accept the new ones.
