"Gone"

Vote & Comment

Ridge POV

Not Today. 

"Shit, shit shit shit, shit okay, look guys this bullshit is about to get serious as hell okay? Everyone grab onto jinx's seat now!"

Kys looked at me in confusion, still trying to collect her thoughts, "But I-"

"I know good job, but listen if you don't do what I say right now I can assure you. We. Will. Die. Understand?? Now do what I say and grab onto the goddamned seat!"

Her lips shut, a shocked expression plastered on her face as she did, along with Dani while I sighed, hastily unstrapping myself and gripping Jinx's shoulder as well as his seat before quickly shutting my eyes and blinking us to my small apartment.

I could hear the two yelp as it all became bright and I winced, the distance of the teleportation and traveling number making it harder to do as we all quickly were consumed into my warp & within a matter of milliseconds being thrown from the air onto the carpeted flooring of the rug in my apartment living room, Jinx- as I'd hoped and shifted mid-warp, now secure my arms.

I gasped for air as I held Jinx close and with my grip tightened and enhanced, my lungs crying for air from exhaustion I quickly started to speak once again, despite the sharp thoughts being thrown at me to wait and recover.

As I suspected as soon as my words formed I began to spew them out, moving as fast as I could to secure Jinx and inform the girls, "Okay I have to go back and cover our tracks, Watch Jinx and keep your eyes peeled; the Woke are still around and the authorities will be putting this together and have some outrageous lead within the next few hours at this rate, believe it or not, so we're on a time crunch okay? We're about to have everyone and thing on our asses so when I say this take me seriously, don't fuck up now."

And with that, I'd put J down softly on the couch and was mid-blink back to the car and gasping for air as landed back on the console between the front two seats before I began grabbing all of our belongings, needs and hopefully anything that'd give away who the fuck we were as I scavenged the front seat, dashboard, and back seats for our luggage and clothing.

Kys POV

I groaned, my vision just starting to clear up as Ridge spoke at the speed of light, my body off balance and senses just starting to come back to me as I tried to concentrate on what was being spoken.

I stood slowly just as Ridge ported back to the car, as soon as he did- a soft gasp coming from Jinx's lips and his back arching before he fell limp once again making my eyebrows raise.

Is that a sign that he's coming back around?

I stretched my arm keeping a close eye on both Jinx and the nearby windows as slowly but surely Dani got herself off the floor once her balance was set,

"Are we in trouble, Kys?"

I looked down at her as she spoke, her little brown eyes still shifting and starting up at me, fear clear in her features as I crouched down, pulling her into a hug, "We're gonna be fine okay? I love you. We'll be fine."

At this moment I'm entirely sure who I'm trying to comfort more....her or myself but as I hold her right now in this apartment with my eyes peeled open and fear striking itself into my thoughts as well, I was determined. It was for me.

As I sat down beside the 'sleeping' boy in wait of Ridge's return I let Dani cradle herself up into my lap while I turned on the television, and of course, as soon as I did I was hit with a video only shot minutes ago of the same road we'd just be on - the oncoming lane halfway lathered in beautiful red, green, blue, and pink-flowered foliage and vines that had begun to grow from a forest not too far off the side of the road below, yet too direct and obviously too set on the Jeep it had devoured to be natural.

As I watched the recording I couldn't help but see the newly found emerald light inside the car along with the silhouette of the four of us, scrambling around inside as the camera operator zoomed in; Cops, Swat Teams, and trucks in their famous array of colored cars starting to surround us as it continued on just before the car shook violently and I could see the four of us disappear.

Fuck. This is my fault...Again...

I gripped the edge of the couch, my thoughts betraying me but for their rightful doing. I was as blame for this. For all of this. If I hadn't let Dani get their clothes alone, she'd still be normal, Jinx would still be with us, Ridge wouldn't be on edge, and I wouldn't have had a reason to blow up and release all of this damned power all the time on accident.

I closed my eyes tightly as I took a deep breath in, my self-esteem at a low as the Reporters closed in on the car and I hoped and prayed that Ridge was finishing up as the SWAT began yelling at the supposed people in the car to get out.

Come on' Ridge, Come on'. Don't let them get under your skin.

I thought in a bleak silence - the house quiet and undisturbed just as a scream emerged from the Tv and the cameraman panned from the car to the sound of terror only to see three to four civilians who had been standing by with dark and deep gashes cut down their throats - and deathly screams filling the audio just before there was another crashing sound and the camera fell to the ground - The casting swiftly turning back to headquarters.

"What the hell?!" I stared at the screen in confusion just as I heard a clash on the ground behind me and Ridge stood heaving heavily as he held the bags, along with what looked like a crumpled license plate on his left palm, a slight smirk lingering on his face,

"Done."
