Last chapter, Layne Lorienth and Grayfall: *'WOOHOOO THIS IS FUN!' she screeched. Lorienth and Grayfall winced at the capactiy of the yell in their heads.THe were about to yell at her, but sopped as they saw that they were about to run off a huge sand-hill. So close to the edge Grayfall swore. He saw that Layne was smirking evilly in the rearview.

"STOP LAYNE YOUR GONNA KILL------CRAP!" Lorienth yelled, stopping as they rocketed off of the cliff.*

Grayfall and Loreinth nearly fell out of the car as it flew thorugh the air. Their bones jolted as the car slammed into the ground and Layne slammed on the breaks.

"WOOOHHOOoo I LOVE WOOP-DE---OOOWWWWWWWWW!" Layne screeched into the open air. Loreinth had reached over and was beating Layne in the head with a stick she had somehow aquired.

"YOU *WHACK* IDIOT *BAM* YOU *SMACK* COULD'VE *CRACK* GOTTEN *SMACK* US *CRASH* KILLED *BAM*!!!!" Loreinth yelled at her sister, rendering her semi- unconcious on the ground. They had ended up outside of the car somehow.Lorienth guessed it had been when Layne was trying to get away from the stick.

"OWAHHHHH What was that for?" Layne whined suddenly getting up from her spot on the gournd. Loreinth's eyes flashed and she brandished the stick again, chasing after her fleeing sister. Grayfall just sat in the car and watached, laughing his ass off.

"DONT YOU TELL ME THAT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DID!" Lorienth screamed, pouncing on Layne and proceeding to beat her over the head with the stick. Layne had swirly eyes and was apologizing with each smack. As Layne started to lose conciousness, Grayfall stepped in.

"I don't think it would be wise to hit her anymore, she is the only one that knows how to drive,"Grayfall said, restraining Lorienth from smakcing Layne in the head anymore.:Layne was babbling somehting at about birdies and orange juice, so it was taking everything he had not to laugh. he knew that would only make the situation worse and that Lorienth would probably beat him with the stick too.Loreinth eventually calmed down, and resolved to learn how to drive so she could beat the living hell out Layne next time.

Grayfall picked Layne up and brought her to the car, setting her in the drivers seat. Layne was whining like a baby the whole way back. (They were quite a ways from the vehicle). "WAHHHHH THAT WASNT FAIR LORIENTH IT WAS A JOKE!" Layne whined. Over and over.

"Oh just shut up and start--"Lorienth started to yell, but cut short, cocking an ear. She quickly tried to connect mentally with Layne, but couldn't because she was still yelling obcenties. 2 seconds later she connected with Grayfall. The conversation went as follows: ::Shut her up, theres someone here and I'm guessing that it is a bounty hunter::

::WHAT GREEEAATTT AS IF WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE ALREADY! How the hell do you expect me to shut her up?::

::I dunno just do something and quick!::

::-----------------::

::Grayfall? GRAYFALL!::

Grayfall broke the connection, hearing the intruder nearby. He slapped his hand over Layne's mouth but she bit it, drawing bllod.He quickly withdrew his hand, becoming frantic.

*Damnit, what am I gonna........*he thought, and idea blooming brightly in his mind. Grayfall grabbed Layne's face and tilted towards his, looking into her eyes in an apologetic way. He bent his head down and kissed her full on the lips, shutting her up immeadeatly.Layne did not react to the kiss the way he had thought, which was good.He was afraid that she was going to pull away and start screaming again. But she didn't.He felt a connection form and his mind and latched to it.Inside his head Layne's voice called out.

::What are you doing Grayfall.....::

::Trying to shut you the hell up.Didn't you hear Lorienth there is a possible bounty hunter nearby.:: Grayfall blikned a little. Was that a hint of regret in Layne's voice.He quickly shook the feeling off as Layne replied.

::Oh.......ok well thanks.....::

Layne broke the connection and the kiss at the same time, pulling away and withdrawing a frying pan from her pack.She pointed to the boulder to where the alleged bounty hunter was hiding and began to sneak up on it.

Lorienth was glaring angrily at Grayfall while Layne was sneaking up on the man.She caught him in a connection and began to berate him.

::Grayfall! What on Gunsmoke was that all about?::

::You told me to shut her up did you not?::

::Yes, but I didn't mean it that way::

::--------------::

There conversation was cut off by a piercing scream from Layne. Without a moments hesitation the two leapt out of the truck and rushed around the boulder.Lorienth was brandishing her stick and Grayfall had a wrench from the car in his hand. Both stopped short as they came upon the scene.

Layne lay in a pool of her own blood, barely breathing. She had a fierce bullet wound in her leg and a stabwound in her chest.Other various scratches graced her body, but they were nothing compared to the two deep punctures.Already Layne's face was pale from lack of blood. But strangely enough, no one was around, no weapon or footprint or anything littered the crime scene.

Laynes body convulsively shuddered,snapping Lorienth and Grayfall out of there shock, Grayfall dashed to Layne's side, scooping her up, oblivious to the blood staning his clothes. he and Lorienth sprinted back to the car,arriving in record time.

No words were said as Grayfall lay Layne in the back seat. Lorienth climbed into the drivers seat, starting the vehicle and putting it into reverse. Grayfall was desperatley trying to staunch Layne's wounds in the back seat. At least she was still breathing and had a pulse. A fleeting thought flew thorugh his mind that Lorienth should not know how to drive, but quickly evaporated as Layne's body shuddered yet again.

Lorienth floored the car as she got it into the right direction. Towards home. As they flew back to the place that Layne was so desperatly fleeing earlier that day, grim thoughts passed through both of the concious teens mind. But the main thought that passed through their heads the whole way was: *Hold on Layne, Hold on!*
