New Blood.
Hi all, I'm meant to be writing an assignment and I really should finish one of my other stories but this popped into my head and I couldn't resist! I don't own BMFM characters so don't bother suing, I don't have any money anyway! Anywho, enjoy!
Chapter one: Ambush.
"You never loved me!" a woman's shrill voice screamed.
"I loved you before you started drinking," a male replied in an equally loud yell, "what on Mars did I do so wrong that you'd resort to drinking yourself into this state! You do know your frightening our kids right?!"
"Oh please, they're asleep!" she screamed back.
"With all your screaming it's a wonder they ever get any sleep!" Further into the home towards the back of the home built into the cliff face two tiny white mice sat huddled together watching the door to the room fearfully.
"I hope daddy don't go out this time." The five year old little girl whispered huddling closer to her older brother.
"Don't worry Maisey, I'll protect you from mom." The older child responded and held his sister tighter.
"Vinnie?"
"Yeah."
"Why does mommy hate us so much?" Maisey's voice was slightly muffled by Vinnie's white chest.
"Daddy says she's sick. So I guess it's not her fault." Vinnie whispered.
"But other kid's moms are nice, why does she have to be so mean?"
"I don't know Maisey." Both ears pricked towards the sound of a frustrated growl and the slamming of a door. Their breathing quickened as the door was rattled. Vincent ushered his sister to the closet just in time to see his mother kick in the door.
"This is all your fault! If you and your brat of a sister hadn't come along things wouldn't have changed!" She moved forward threateningly, "where's your sister Vincent?" The little boy simply shrugged and backed away from his drunken mother. "Liar! Little boys who lie get punished! And if you or your sister ever thinks of telling daddy about this you'll both wish you were never born, I know I already do!" She raised her fist and . . .

Vinnie awoke with a start, his breathing rapid. He looked around frantically for a few moments before realising he was on the sofa of the Last Chance, Modo was still asleep on the floor and he could hear movement behind him.
"Are you okay Vinnie?" Charley's concerned voice came from his right making him jump out of his skin.
"Vinnie?" Throttle came out of the kitchen, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The white mouse replied shakily, jumping to his feet he rushed to his bike where he promptly sped out into the street.
"Vinnie! Come back!" Charley went to go after him, but Throttle held her back.
"Leave it Charley, he's better off alone right now." He told her but she scowled and used her own bike to go after him anyway. Throttle sighed and looked over at a now very awake Modo.
"I'm guessing Vinnie didn't sleep well again last night?" The grey furred mouse rubbed his stiff neck.
"When I got up it sounded like he was having one of his dreams." Throttle replied.
"Oh, moma. That's gotta be the third time this week."

She found him at the park sitting by the water just staring off into space. Without saying anything she quietly walked over and sat down next to him. He visibly tensed but it was ignored and they just sat there enjoying the silence for a while before Charley looked at him.
"This is the most quiet you've been since I met you." She smiled at him.
"You don't wanna hang with me right now Charley; I'm not going to be much fun." He sighed as he wrapped his arms around his knees and buried his face in his arms.
"Fun or not Vinnie, I'm not letting you brood." She grinned to herself before taking a risk of further inflating his ego, "You're too cute to brood." That got his attention whilst earning a smile for the mechanic. "What's the matter Vinnie?"
"Just bad memories Charley girl, nothing to worry your pretty little head over." She shook her head knowing not to bother trying to get the macho mouse to talk about it and instead leaned over to rest her head on his shoulder, smiling when she felt his arm slip around her own shoulders and the tail wrap around her waist. "Thanks Charley, you're the best."
"I know Vin, but you do know I'll always be here to listen if you ever want to talk about anything right?" She snuggled closer trying not to make it obvious how good it felt to be in his arms.
"I know babe." He pulled her closer grateful he wasn't alone for a change with his rotten memories.
"Awe ain't that sweet, the little mousy and the ditzy dame are in love!" Vinnie's head spun around just in time to see the shot from the stun laser coming, and then all went black.
"Vinnie!" Charley dodged the shot meant for her and reached for his gun before opening fire on the goons heading their way, "Blast them!" She ordered the bike behind them who needed no more encouragement. The mechanic proceeded to physically shake her companion whilst taking aim at anyone who came too close, "Vinnie, you have to wake up! Come on, I can't move you by myself!" She growled in frustration when she received no response a blast to her right threw debris in their direction and that was the last she remembered before blacking out.

Throttle rubbed his face as he and Modo waited as patiently as a couple of mice could, in the waiting area of the All Saints Hospital six blocks from the Last Chance. They had only realised anything had been wrong when Vinnie's bike had activated its panic signal. They had immediately tracked it down finding it and Charley buried under some rubble, had the bike tried to get out by itself she could have hurt the human woman. They dug the two out and quickly rushed their friend to the hospital as soon as they had seen the blood coating the back of her head. Modo had been pacing the room for an hour worried about the girl laying in a hospital bed and his missing bro. There had been no sign of the white furred mouse at the scene and neither mouse desired the earful Vincent would give them if they had dared leave Charley alone in the one place he was truly terrified of.
"What do ya think they wanted with Vinnie?" Modo asked stopping to stare at the doors leading to the treatment rooms.
"I don't know big fella but as soon as we know Charley girl's safe, we'll go find out and get him back." Throttle's body bristled with pent up rage, "They're going to pay for hurting our girl and if Vincent's hurt there'll be hell to pay." Both looked up as a nurse came through the doors but he didn't stop and went through another set.
"Ya think they'll ever get together?" The grey furred mouse wondered aloud.
"I hope so," Throttle shrugged, "Vinnie needs someone, and Charley's a pretty good match even if she's not Martian."
"Takes someone special to put up with our Vin huh?"
"You know he's not as bad as he pretends to be, he was never as bad when we were kids." Throttle thought back to their younger years almost fondly.
"Vinnie had a tough time back then, but he had people to look out for him and his sis." Modo smiled fondly remembering the pair who had been attached to the hip for so long. Grinning he turned to the tanned mouse, "I remember you used to be the apple of little Maisey's eye."
"Nah, she only like us cause Vinnie did. She was cute though." Modo shook his head. The doors opened once more and a doctor of oriental descent approached them.
"Are you the boys who brought Miss Davidson in earlier?" She asked and received a nod in reply, "She has quite a bad concussion, but that's under control. However, we won't know if there's any real damage until she wakes up."
"Any idea when that would be?" Throttle asked.
"I'm sorry, it could be some time. All we can do is wait." The mice thanked the doctor who apologised again as she had to continue her rounds. She then left the mice alone again.
"Now what?" Modo asked his leader.
"We can't leave Charley to wake up with no one with her." Throttle replied.
"Maybe Chef Andy or Four By will come and wait on her so we can go after Vinnie?" Modo mused heading for a pay phone. Throttle watched his bro make a couple of phone calls to make sure their favourite girl had someone there when she woke up. "Andy's on his way over, Four By's gonna keep his ear to the ground in case Vin's not at the tower and we need another plan. Let's go man!!"
"Alright big fella, I'm coming." Throttle got up and took on last look at the closed doors then followed Modo out of the hospital to their bikes. They sped off in the direction of the Limburger tower yelling their usual battle cry.
But Vincent Van Wham was no longer at the tower.
What do you think? Bit short for me but I'm tired and HAVE to finish an assignment for my degree if I want to get a good job and actually have that lovely stuff known as money that people keep telling me about! I hate being a grown up! Angel xxx
