Shattered Rain

Chapter 8:To the Beach and Beyond
Author's Note: Well thanks for all the reviews, I really appreciate them. And yes Silent Hill is a game and I goofed. It's really Silent Hill 2 in the letter. Some of you probably read the letter in the Playstation magazine. If you did I thought it was hilarious! Well here's the story.
Everyone was pretty tired the next morning except for Bit and Ashley. Who were at the breakfast table inhaling their breakfast. The two leaned back and patted their stomachs.
"That was delicious!"
"Yeah I never knew that I was such a good cook," Bit said as Leena came in. Thanks to the scary game she looked like a zombie. But got a little better as Bit handed her a dish of French toast with fruits on the side. (Author's Note: If you've ever tried my French Toast, yes I am a cook, then was the grumpiness will disappear.) The smell helped wake Leena up.
"Wow! This looks good! This must mean Jamie up?" Leena said as she took a huge bite.
"No."
"Then who made such a delicious meal?"
"Me."
"You!?! What did you get it delivered or something?" Leena said bursting out into laughter.
"No. I made it."
"Oh, you're telling the truth?"
"Yeah."
"Well it's the best I've ever tasted!" Leena said.
"Here, here!" Ashley said holding up her cup. Then she turned her head toward the window and stared at it for a while. Bit noticed her stare and was immediately silent. They both stood there staring at the rain falling down.
Leena realized how quiet it was and decided to figure it out later, she figured that it was something important and painful so she left them be.
******
Later that afternoon…The sky cleared up and Bit and Ashley were back to their normal selves.
"It's such a beautiful day, and we're stuck in doors!" Ashley pouted.
The team was in the middle of a battle, but Doc didn't send Ashley out. She and Jamie stayed behind and tried to help them from the Hover Cargo.
"Ashley you could help," Jamie said from his seat no to far away from her.
"They don't need our help they got everything under control."
CRASH!!! "Leena's Gun Sniper is out of commission!" Jamie turned toward Ashley.
"Okay!!! I get it." She then turned on a link that went to Brad and Bit's cockpit.
"HEY!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!?!" Ashley yelled. Bit and Brad stared at her with confusion.
"Bit you distract them while Brad gets on that hill. Brad once you're up their SHOOT!!!" Ashley shut the link, leaned back in her chair, and kicked her feet up on the desk.
"Are you sure that they will win?" Jamie asked.
"They'll win if they know what's good for them."
Thankfully they did win. And they were all in the living room (Author's Note: I don't know what it's really called. But you know where the circular couch thing is.) Leon had left earlier that day but was going to come back later, somewhere during the night. Everyone was so bored until Leena got an idea.
"Hey guys the beach isn't that far off, let's go there."
"That's a great idea! How bout it guys?" Ashley said as she got up from her seat. The guys grumbled remembering the last time they went to the beach. Leena made them carry all the bags and everything and she was probably going to do it again.
**********
The guys were right. But in the good side of this is that they had enough things to do.
"Hey let's bury some one in the sand!" Leena asked. Immediately Jamie bolted.
"Jamie! Where are you going!?!" Ashley said as she waved her hands for him to come back.
"Uuuuuhhh! I forgot something in the Hover Cargo. Gotta go get it!"
Everyone was scratching their heads, well not everybody but they all looked confused. They all shrugged.
"Well let's bury Bit!" said Ashley.
"Okay."
"Look we already got a hole," Leena chirped as she pointed towards a hole in the sand. After burying Bit they all got up and clapped their hands together.
"All done," Brad said.
"Haahaa, this feels weird," Bit's head said from the ground.
"Yeah it looks like someone decided to behead you but couldn't get your head to die," Ashley laughed.
"Okay how about a swim?" Leena said.
"Hey don't leave me here," Bit whined.
"That sounds fine," Brad shrugged.
"Hello?"
"You guys go ahead I'll catch up with you later," Ashley said.
"What are you going to do?" Leena asked.
"I guess I work on my tan."
"Don't leave me here!" Bit desperately trying to get their attention.
Everyone left to do what he or she wanted to do, leaving Bit behind buried in the sand.
"Hello? Anyone there? Heellllooooo!"
Just as he was trying to get out, a crab with BIG pinchers coming towards his face.
"UHHHHH!!! HELP!!!" The pinchers were inches away from face when…………
STOMP!!!! A big foot came onto the crab crushing it, but not killing it. Then it was sent flying in the into the sea. Bit's head from the ground looked up.
"Your angel."
"Yeah, well it was the only way to shut you up," Ashley said as she sat down next to his head.
"So have you gotten along with everyone on the team," Bit asked.
"Yeah, everyone has been very nice, especially Leon."
"OOOOOoooohhhh."
"What?"
"Oh it's nothing, it's just that you and Leon make a great couple."
"WHAT!! You know me! I'm not the romantic type!"
"That's what you believe, but it's not true."
"........"
"Come on admit it. You like Leon."
Ashley stood up quickly, "I decided to go for a swim." She grabbed her t-shirt and started for the shore. Bit was a little shocked and pleased at the same time.
"Okay, I guess I'll meet you at the Hover Cargo later," Bit said, but when he tried to move he quickly realized that he was buried in the sand up to his head.
"HEY!!! Anybody!!! I need help!!!!!"
**********
Ashley was walking towards the rocky area to sit down and think about things. She chose a rock that the waves of the ocean crashed into. Sat down and stared out into the ocean.
Maybe Bit was right, but I never thought of something like this. I guess there's a time for everyone to grow up, and my time is now. While she was going through her thoughts she didn't notice a shadow in the rocks behind her.
I mean even Leena thought we were a good couple, and we were talking about her older brother! The shadow thingy was just behind her.
She something shiny at the corner of her eye. She bent over to get it, and when she did that the guy behind her (Author's Note: You know the shadowy thingy.) leapt to grab her but she bent over and he went flying over her head.
"Hey I found a nickel!" Ashley said, but then she noticed a guy splashing in the water below her.
"Help! I'm drowning! Help!" The guy really looked like he was drowning. But there was something Ashley knew that he didn't.
"Uh, hey! Your in shallow water."
The guy immediately stopped struggling and stood up. The water came up to his knees. He looked very embarrassed.
"AHEM!!! I am here as a part of the Axis of Evil corporation."
"The Axis of Evil!?!"
"Yes! And I am here to kidnap you!" Before he even finished Ashley bolted to where everyone else was. She was running as fast she can but the guy was starting to catch up to her. It was easier for him because he had shoes on and she didn't.
*******
"SIIIGGHHH!!!!" Bit was in the sand watching everyone have fun, and he couldn't join his friends because he was stuck IN the sand. He looked to his left and noticed Ashley running towards him, and she looked really scared.
"I wonder what's wrong with Ashley?" Bit wondered out loud.
She ran to Bit and stopped to take a breather. "Bit what are you doing!! I'm going to get killed here and your playing in the sand!!!!" Ashley then noticed that the guy was getting to close for comfort.
"We'll talk about this later!!" Then she started running again, the guy quickly ran past Bit and ran after Ashley.
Bit struggled as hard as he could to get out but it was no use, I wish I had a shovel!
*****
Ashley was running for dear life, but eventually the guy caught up with her. He grabbed her wrist took something out of jacket that looked like a gun, put it to her arm and pulled the trigger. Ashley felt her eyes grow heavy, and soon they shut for some sleep.
