Chapter 4: When you can't run no more

All was silent in the house besides the sound of the rain pattering on the windows and the constant punching on the keyboard keys.

"Ding dong!" The sound of the doorbell shattered the silence.

Jeff walked towards the front door and was surprised at what greeted him.

"Ashley?" he said, shocked to see his sister soaking wet. By the look on her face he could see that she had been crying.

Jeff pulled Ashley in and grabbed a few blankets and towel. Ashley sat down on the couch putting her arms around her trying to keep warm.

Jeff handed Ashley the towel and blankets before settling himself in front of her.

Taking her hands in his, "Ash, what happened?"

Ashley started to sob and flung herself on her brother. Jeff just held her, knowing that she'll talk when she is ready.

"It was him… I remember. It was him…" Ashley sobbed.

"Who Ash?" Jeff asked.

"Judas… Judas…" Ashley replied.

Jeff's eyes widened at the mention of the name.


Atthe megaship…

(Flashback)

After Andros had left the med bay, the other rangers went to him after overhearing the 'conversation' between him and Ashley.

He looked at his teammates, "I shouldn't have listened…"

Cassie stepped forward, "God Andros, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, honest,"

"Yeah… us too…" TJ and Carlos apologized.

Andros shook his head, "That's okay guys… I guess it's no use crying over spilt milk…"

(End flashback)

Andros sat on his bed wide-awake, not being able to sleep after what had happened earlier.

Andros sighed and got out of bed, deciding to talk to Ashley.

Roughly about 20 steps later, he found himself standing in front of Ashley's room.

He knocked on the door, calling out softly.

"Ash? You awake? Ash, please open the door… I need to talk to you. Please open the door Ash…" He pleaded but only silence answered him.

"Deca, is Ashley inside?" Andros turned to ask to camera on the wall.

"Negative." Deca replied.

Andros frowned.

"Where is she Deca?" he asked again.

"I am no allowed to disclose that information to you. Ashley's orders." Deca replied.

Andros sighed and left for his room with a heavy heart.


Atthe Hammond residence…

Jeff closed the door to Ashley's room. She had told him what happened between Andros and her. He was walking down to the living room when he felt an 'all-too-familiar' headache invading his once calm head.

He turned around only to be greeted by a man in a dark cloak with a very unusual pair of eyes.

"You…" Jeff hissed.

The man smirked

"What do you want?" he almost shouted,

"You know what I want…DeRome…"

"You'll never have her… I won't let you!"

"Not now I won't… but soon… soon you can't run no more…" with that, he vanished.

Jeff collapsed on the couch, bringing his hands to his face.

"Lord give me strength…" he whispered.

A soft breeze blew through the living room, but no doors or windows were opened…

Jeff suddenly looked up from his hands. If anyone were to be looking at him, the first thing they would see was his blood red eyes, with no sign of white at all…
