Emma pulled the trigger as Rob made a grab for her arm, enjoying the solid recoil of the gun in her hand. Warm blood splattered on her arms as she threw Rob's lifeless body to the ground. She tucked the piece back into her waistband calmly and stepped over the body to pull Ruby into her arms.
"I'm so sorry Ru," she rambled. She wrapped the blanket a little tighter around the other girl and scooped her up easily, carrying her over to the bed. "Are you hurt? Did her hurt you? I swear to god I'm going kill him."
Emma could feel herself shaking as she sat down on the edge of the bed and placed Ruby in her lap. She detached one of her arms to fish a joint out of her pocket, lighting it as she kept the other securely around Ruby. Her vision blurred and she realized that she was crying. "I'm so sorry Ru," she repeated, exhaling a stream of smoke unevenly.
There were footsteps on the stairs and Marney appeared in the doorway, swearing as she saw what had happened. "That bastard," she growled, giving Rob's body a kick before crossing the room to Ruby and Emma.
"Give me the gun," she demanded, holding out her hand calmly. Emma handed her the piece from her waistband, looking up at Marney wordlessly. "Get her out of here, now."
