Survival of the Fittest: Save Yourself {Completed}

"Dean! Down!" Dean let go and the tiger went to move, but Dean growled and snapped at him, making Alex stay put until Dean was next to me again. Emma ran over to Alex, hugging him and talking to him. Everyone else went back to what they were doing. Emma help Alex up and walked away from the door and went on top of the balcony. Dean went to his corner near the door, where my sweatshirt was, and laid on top of it to sleep. Then I just went back to throwing knives and exercising.

~Next Day~

The big main doors opened and two more people dropped in. A girl and a guy. The guy sat up and looked around. "Fuck me," he drug out. He had a green t-shirt with blue jeans, bright orange hair and beautiful orange/green eyes to match. He stood finally. Alex came running down the stairs and tackled him to the ground. Emma followed the cat.

"Fanta?" She said.

"Hey Emma," the cat growled low, "and hi to you too Alex," he smiled rubbing his face. I rolled my eyes and ignored their conversation. I went over to the girl, once the three left, to see who it was. She looked familiar, but at the same time not. She had dark-blue jeans, a dark-red t-shirt with a black leather jacket on and some black boots. I knelt down and lightly touched her, and she rolled over. I stood up and stepped back as to not scared her. She looked at me, confused, and sat up.

"Jase?" She asked. I was still trying to recognize her. Her brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she had hazel eyes. She looked at me sideways, waiting for an answer.

"Sorry. Uh, yeah." I held out my hand for her to take, she took it and stood. I looked over her once more and something caught my eye. It was one of those Foxy keychain stuffed animals. The keychain was a cute Foxy head. "Ashley?" I asked both happy and terrified for the response.

"Yeah," she smiled and we hugged. Not good, not good, not good! My head screamed.

"Not that it's bad to see you but," we pulled away, "what are you doing here?"

"I don't know. Some guy asked if I knew a 'Jase' and I told him I did. He asked if I wanted to see her, and I told him yes cause I haven't seen you in forever. Next thing I know, there was something over my mouth and I blackout. And now, here I am!" She threw her arms up, but I quickly put them down. "What?"

"Just, calm down. Trust me, this is a place you don't wanna be." I looked around to see if anyone saw. Luckily no one did, "come with me." I grab her hand and take her over to where Dean is. I let go and tell her to wait for a second. I woke Dean, making him stand up. We walk back to Ash. "Now, don't freak out okay?"

"To late," she started to back up, but I grab her arm.

"Trust me, he won't go after you unless I tell him to."

"Lies!" Trent yelled. The three of us look at him. I point at him and glare. "Shit," he mumbled.

"That's one boy," I tell him and he nods, going back to what he was doing before. Ashley looks back at me. She points as to ask who that was. "Trent. And then Justin and Hunter are here." She rolled her eyes in discussed. "I know right? Okay so, first, sorry for never talking to you," she shrugs, "second, if you want some sort of protection, you gotta trust me and Dean." I point to him.

"Uh, okay. How do I do that?" I make Dean sit, I take her hand, and put it to his nose. I let go and she leaves it. He looks at me confused then back at the hand. He sniffs it and looks at me. He stands up and I can feel Ashley tense. I can't see her as I'm making sure Dean doesn't do anything. He rubs his head against her hand and she relaxes, and starts petting him.

"Okay," I smile. Ashley pulls her hand back and Dean sits, "Dean." He looks at me as I kneel down, "that's Ashley. She's good." He looks at her and barks happily, wagging his tail. We laugh and I stand up.

"Hey Jase?" I hum, "where am I?"

"Yeah about that," I take her to the corner by the door and explain everything to her.
