Emma Thompson ([info]wipeoutqueen) wrote in [info]blueridgeau,
"I should have protected you," Emma insisted. "I should have gotten here sooner."

Emma was surprised when Ruby kissed her, but the moment she was gone, she wanted it again desperately. It was something she never knew she wanted, something that she had never missed until now and she almost forgot what was going on until Marney was there talking to them.

Marney ignored Ruby's protests and crossed the room to where Rob was lying. She placed her hand in the blood, making sure to get her bloody hand prints on the handle of the gun before she tucked it in the back of her shorts. She thought for a moment, before crossing the room to her little sisters.

"We don't have much time," she said, looking at both of them seriously. She cupped Ruby's face with her cleaner hand. "You're in charge now Ruby, everyone knows that leadership falls to you if I get caught." She could hear the sirens in the distance, she knew the neighbors must have called the cops the minute they heard gunshots. She could hear the party begin to breakup downstairs. "You two are going to go hide on the beach until they're gone, do you understand?"

Emma gaped at Marney, "But Mars, you didn't-"

"You have to protect her now, I won't be around to clean up your messes," Marney interrupted. "You take her now and you get her somewhere safe." Emma just nodded and stood up, her grip on Ruby as tight as she could make it. "I'm trusting you Brat."

Emma carried Ruby, blanket and all, out of the room and down the stairs where the chaos of the party goes escaping the cops was in full force. She could see flashing lights pulling up at the front doors and bolted for the back porch. The air felt refreshing on her face as she ran towards the dunes, the night getting quieter and quieter as they distanced themselves from the party. She made her way towards the little cove where they always went too get away, nestled in the tall grass of the dunes. It was their place.

She set Ruby down gently, and rummaged through her backpack until she dislodged her over sized hoodie from its depths. "Here, put this on," she said gently, offering it to Ruby. She dug through her bag again before plopping down in front of Ruby and beginning to clean the blood from her face with a wet wipe. "Lets get you cleaned up, huh?" Her hands were shaking as she wiped the blood gently from her friend's cheek.
