I saw the shocked but sad look in Lucy's face. I could not believe what I was hearing. I thought Kouta loved Lucy. "We better get Kouta to a hospital fast or he will die" I said.

"Right, I will call 911 and have an ambulance take Kouta to the hospital." Yuka said not crying anymore. I saw her stand up and walked to the phone.

I went over to Kouta's side and pushed down on his wound hoping to stop the blood flow some. Kouta groaned out in pain. "Kouta!" I yelled out. "Hang in there. Yuka's calling an ambulance" I looked over at Yuka who was dialing 911 or at least I was hoping she was dialing 911. Ten minutes later I heard sirens. I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding. I let go of Kouta's chest when the medical team from the ambulance came in.

I saw them look around the room finding it a bloody mess and dead bodies everywhere "What happened here?" One guy asked. I would not blame him for asking. Lucy did just slaughter all these Mariko clones. I just hope he will not call the cops.

"Does it matter right now? My friend is in trouble and if he does not get help he will die!" I said. The guy didn't say anything just lifted Kouta up on the stretcher.

"We got to hurry or he won't make it!" Another guy said.

"Right" The first guy said. Were they serious about saving Kouta? I was not so sure, but I will have to trust these humans, for now anyways. I walked outside as they put Kouta in the ambulance.

"I am going with him" Yuka said to us and went into the ambulance with Kouta. I saw them drive away and went back into the Maple Inn.

"Now that Kouta's taken care of. What are we going to do about all these bodies?" I asked looking at Lucy.

"I will take care of it." Lucy said.

I saw Mayu over at Nana's side. I walked over to Nana saying to Mayu "Are you two alright?"

"We are fine" Nana said I smiled glad that they were okay.

"Well I am going to help Lucy clean up"

"Do you not you mean, Nyu?" Mayu asked. I did not say anything just walked over to Lucy.

"Need any help?" I asked.

"No I can do it myself," She said stubbornly.

"Whatever" I said helping Lucy clean up the bodies. She glared at me and I simply smiled at her.

"Why are you helping me anyways?" Lucy asked.

"Do you think we should burn or bury the bodies?" I asked not answering the question.

"Burn" Lucy said, "We cannot have any evidence of this"

"Alright. Let us take them outside" I said and drug the bodies with my real hands and my vectors. Although the dismembered bodies felt gross on my hands I endured it. Once all the bodies were all outside I threw kerosene on the bodies. I lit a match throwing it at the bodies and watched them burn down to nothing. Not even the bones remained.

"There. Now all that is left is the blood in the house." I said. I walked back in the house, but was surprised to see someone that was not part of the family there. I saw that it was a man with dark sunglasses wearing all black carrying a case on his back. Nana had a spiked ball in her side and Mayu was crying in fear.

"H-help us, Ashley" Mayu said fearful of the man.

"Who are you?" I said to the unknown man glaring at him.

"I do not have to give my name to a pretty girl like you" The unknown man said. He saw me, Nana, and Mayu. He didn't see Lucy because she was outside.

"I have come to take Lucy"

"Well you are not getting her!" I said hoping Lucy would stay outside. He then kicked the case he was carrying and it spilled blood all over the ground. I happened to look inside to see a diclonius. Well half of a diclonius anyways that was. I was shocked that someone could so cruel. My vectors emerged as I looked at the unknown man holding a gun holding the spiked balls. He was aiming at me. I braced myself for contact from the spiked ball closing my eyes. I heard the gun going off, but I did not feel anything. I opened my eyes seeing Lucy on the ground in agony.

"Heh. That was easy" The unknown man said.

I ran over towards Lucy but before I could do that I felt a sharp pain in my arm. I looked down and saw a dart. "You bastard" I managed to say before fainting.

When I woke up I noticed Lucy was gone. "LUCY!" I yelled out looking around the room. "That jerk captured her" I looked over at Nana who had to spiked ball out of her. Mayu was not crying anymore, but was by Nana's side. I could tell that Mayu liked Nana more than a friend, but I did not think that Nana knew that. "Will she be fine?" I asked.

"I do not know, but Nana told me that diclonius heal faster than humans. So I guess she will be alright" Mayu said.

"Yeah I am fine" Nana said. I sensed another diclonius in the area and it was coming straight for us. I knew this presence though. I sighed as I saw Andre come in.

"What happened here?" Andre said as he came in seeing all the blood in the room.

"Lucy got captured" I said sadly tears welling up in my eyes. I saw Andre come over to me. I did not put my guard up, because I knew he loved me. He hugged me and I simply broke down. I cried into his chest. "I-I failed. I failed everyone" I cried.

"It's alright, love" Andre said rubbing my head. I raised my head up as I looked up at him. I broke away from his embrace as I said.

"I need to find a way to get Lucy back" I said trying to go out the door of the Maple Inn. However I was stopped. I looked behind her and saw who stopped me was Andre.

"Not now" He said seriously.

"What?" I said wanting to rescue Lucy badly.

"We need a plan if we were to rescue her." He said "Besides you all need your rest" He said while looking at everyone. He then looked at me and smiled. He then looked at Mayu and Nana. "Mayu, why don't you watch over Nana while I and Ashley go rescue, Lucy." Andre said.

"Ok, how are you going to get there?" Nana asked weakly.

"I have an expensive boat" Andre said. 'Which, I stole the money for' He thought.

"Ok" Nana said.

"Come on let us go rescue, Lucy," I said wanting to hurry. Andre smiled at me and I smiled back.

We went down to the beach and saw the boat that Andre had. My jaw almost dropped to the ground. I saw him laugh and I glared at him. "What's funny?" I asked not amused that he was laughing at me.

"Your reaction to the boat. I know it looks expensive, but I only had enough money for that boat." Andre said.

"Which you stole" I said to him.

"It was necessary" He said.

"Did you know Lucy was going to get captured?" I asked him.

"No, I did not" He said. I could tell he was not lying so I trusted him.

"Let us go rescue Lucy now." I said going onto the boat.

"I will show you to the room you will be sleeping in" He said.

"Room?" I asked.

"Yes room. I only have one room though so I will not be sleeping."

"Right" I said going into the room and lied down. I then went to sleep with full intentions of rescuing Lucy.
