Battle of the Redferns
Chapter 7
I am so sorry I haven't updated I have no excuse
I don't own the characters but I do own the plot :)
Ash paced franticly trying to process the fact that Mare was gone, his Mary Lynette and his child. He didn't what know what to feel, yes he was upset but he was pissed, pissed that he couldn't be there to protect her. Hannah came walked in and made her way over to Ash, usually he would push away anyone who tried to console him but he trusted Hannah and he didn't want to be alone. "oh Ash I heard from Quinn and Rashel, don't worry, we will find her" Ash broke down, hearing Hannah say that meant that she really was gone, Hannah pulled him to her and let him cry on her shoulder, "H-Hannah?"
"Yes" she muttered to him as she stroked his hair trying to calm him down.
"C-can you get Rowan please, I need my big sister" this is the most vulnerable she has seen Ash ever; she nodded and stood up to go and find her. As she stood up Ash let his head fall to the table and he just let the tears fall he didn't really care what people would think, he didn't care if Jez made fun of him later, he was pretty sure she would be the same if Morgead was kidnapped.
It wasn't long before Hannah came in with Rowan in tow, when she set eyes on her brother she rushed forward, he lifted his head up and stood up to meet her when she was close enough he collapsed into her arms, she tried to be strong for his sake but even she couldn't hold back a few tears that rolled of her cheeks onto Ash's head.
She sat down on the chair Ash was sitting on and pulled him to her lap like she did when he was six years old (before he started to follow in their father's footsteps) when he was upset, believe it or not but hunter was never a good father he spent most of his days on the council they never saw much of him.
"I can't believe she is gone" Ash sobbed
"Shh, its okay sweetie, we will get her back"
"Promise?"
"I promise"
Ash began to calm down, Rowan lifted his head up and wiped his eyes, "you know this reminds me of that time when you were six years old, and you were playing with Jade she had only just turned four, I was seven and Kestrel was five, you wanted to take her outside to see the goats, you were so cute then, so protective" Ash smiled at the memory, it was only a few years later he follow in hunters footsteps, "she wanted to feed them so you took her inside and asked aunt opal for some grain to feed the goats, when you got it you took her back outside, I remember you never let go of her hand, as she was feeding them this older vampire, I can't remember his name, came over and tried to push Jade about, he was only about eight years old but to a four year old like Jade he would have been very scary, you stepped in front and stopped him, Jade ran back inside and you were left outside."
Rowan looked down at him to fin he was looking at her, she continued telling the story.
"I never knew what happened but I found you in your room huddled up in the corner, I came in and you cuddled up to me and just cried as I hugged you, that was the one time I saw you so vulnerable, aside from now"
Ash straightened up, he stood up and Rowan followed.
"I can't believe you remember that"
"Of course I did, I have no choice Jade reminds me of it all the time" she laughed
Ash smiled at the thought, "what do you mean?"
"She always brings it up; I think she loves you more out of all of us, because of that"
"Really, no I regret being an ass all those years"
"Let's go find Thierry so we can save Mary Lynette"
Ash nodded and they both walked out of the kitchen and went to find Thierry, this was going to be a long mission and none of the day breakers would sleep until Mary Lynette and baby Redfern were safe.
