A/N: Okay, I'm still here, in this chapter we focus on Rhino and what happened to her, I'm sorry the last one was so short I did it just before I went to school. Please Read and review, PLEASE!!!! L
Rinoa lifted her head up. Where am I? Am I dead? Aow! She bent her head down and saw that arm was badly bleeding; she lifted her hand up to her face and felt a bump against her hand. She gasped as she brought her hand back covered with blood. I've got to get out of here.
The twisted steel of her wardrobe groaned as she pushed it open. Holy shit! She looked around at what used to be her room. The ceiling had caved in so you could only just crawl around. The papers around her broken mirror had been set on fire casting the room in an eerie glow. The only thing that looked recognisable was the doorframe.
"Oh my god, w…what happened?" she cast her eyes around in disbelief, tears filled her eyes in desperation as she stumbled out of the doorway into what used to be the corridor.
She crawled past a burnt body grazing her back against a piece of glass, the smoke from a near by fire smothering her senses. She recognized the body as the boy from the top floor. I remember him he always used the elevator in the morning to go to work but couldn't reach the button to get back up to the top floor, always used the stairs. Beth always said that he only had the Quiff to make him taller. A baby wailed in the next room and brought her back to reality.
"Beth!" She half ran half crawled pass the doorway towards the screaming baby.
"Rinoa" mumbled a voice from the corner of the room. What Rinoa saw took her breath away. Beth's usually dark skin was now a raw red, half her body was covered in rumble and blood was running down her face. "Rinoa, look after the baby, please take care of her."
Rinoa looked over to where the baby's quieting screams came from, she could just see cot from under the rumble, there was no way she could get to it, so crawled over to Beth's dying body.
"Sssh, it's okay, everything is going to be okay. The baby is going to be fine but she maybe injured so I can't move." Soothed Rinoa.
"I'm sorry Rinoa,"
Rinoa took her hand in hers grimacing slightly as she noticed that only the thumb was left, tears pouring down her cheeks. "Just save your energy you're going to be okay. You've got to, remember after you given evidence against that bastard who killed your dad we're gonna leave. Get a fast car drive away from this place, we've got nothing to lose, nothing to prove to anybody. You worked at that convenience store for months saving, don't tell me your going to pack it in now."
"You do it, take the baby get out of here. Like he said I lived a nobody died a nobody just don't end up like I did,"
"You're not a nobody, you're beautiful, amazing clever, please I can't do this on my own, please! Don't go please!" Rinoa screamed as Beth's eyelids began to drop. "Please! Don't leave me!"
"Look over Lizzy" her eyelids dropped and although the building was full of the noise of screams and fire, Rinoa could hear nothing her mind silently screaming and she watched her lifelong friend die, believing that she could save her only child.
"No, No!" Rinoa repeated as she hammered her fists on the rumble, which partially covered her friend's dead body, till her fist bleed.
The baby's scream woke her. She turned her head just in time to see the beams above the cot cave in and crush the cot, the baby's screaming stop and a thin trickle of blood rolled out from under then pile. Then a body rolled down the makeshift pile.
Rinoa screamed.
