THIRTEEN

The silence that consumed them wasn't awkward. It was full of anger, confusion, sorrow and regret. The only one coming from Ryan being anger.

Ryan ignored the fact that Angelo knew him and moved forward, his fists clenched.

Angelo's eyes widened, Ryan's abilities dawning on him, "Go." He mumbled, then quickly turned around and went back to Lynn, helping her limp run towards town, "Go!"

Chris and Brian stayed behind them, their eyes trained on Ryan who had multiple blades in his hand as he followed them whilst Vinny ran up the front, clearing anything that would get in his way.

As Brian spotted Ryan twirling a blade in his hand, he yelled for everyone to duck just as it was thrown.

"This is Ryan?!" Vinny yelled from the front, gasping when a blade swooshed past his head.

"No." Angelo growled, slightly speeding up.

"He's probably been turned into some hit man or something." Lynn mumbled, her eyes growing heavy as she continued to run.

"Something." Angelo murmured, letting out a breath when he saw a few stores, "Come on!"

Ryan started to pick up his pace, throwing another blade into Chris' thigh, smirking when he let out a yell.

Brian stopped running and stood still, his dagger aimed at Ryan before throwing it, successfully hitting Ryan's chest then moved to Chris, helping him to where the others were.

Ryan stopped running to look down at his chest, slightly hissing as he pulled it out, throwing the dagger to the side.

As he looked back up, no one was to be seen.

He let out a growl and went straight, following the blood that had been coming from Lynn's side.

As the others made it to the town, the sun slowly setting, they slowed their run down, trying their best to look normal. Though, with two injured and a crossbow over one's shoulder, that didn't succeed.

Before anyone could see them, though, they were called into a bar, a man and a woman standing there with the door open, both keeping a look out for any people.

Not bothering to even question it, they made their way to the bar, helping Lynn and Chris sit on a seat before turning to the man and woman.

"Thank you." Angelo then frowned, "But, why'd you let us in?"

The woman chuckled, "Think of us as the saviours of the supernatural."

Angelo slightly chuckled then looked to Chris and Lynn, his eyes filled with worry, "Can you please help them?"

The woman nodded her head, walking to where Lynn was sitting and lifting her shirt up as Lynn was close to passing out.

The woman sighed, "Josh, I'll need you to get my herbs and the Adolatum. It's in the red jar."

Josh nodded his head, running up the stairs and to where Ryan Ashley kept her things.

"Adolatum?" Chris grunted, shifting positions, "Strange word for something."

Ryan Ashley lifted the rest of Lynn's shirt up, "Very. But, it'll help her burns. I'm Ryan Ashley, by the way."

They all stayed quiet as Josh came back down and handed Ryan her things, watching as she applied it to Lynn's ribs with care.

The silence only lasted a few minutes before the door was busted open, an angry Ryan standing at the threshold.

"R-Ryan?" Josh gasped, looking like he's seen a ghost.
