Jason entered the room and looked at the girl lying on the bed sleeping. He crossed the room and sat down on the bed beside her. Gently he touched her face, Marc had done a bang up job on her. Most of her face was swollen and inflamed, she had dried blood bellow her nose and down her neck. In her sleep she rolled over revealing her back. Jason stared at the angry red whelps that crisscrossed her back. She must have screamed perfectly, damn Marc gets all the fun.
Jason gently touched her shoulder and said, "Ally come on Angel wake up." Ally stirred in her sleep and rolled over on her back and winced in pain from the marks touching the sheets. She opened her eyes and looked up at Jason. "Good morning Jay," Ally said and tried to smile but it hurt too much. "What are you doing here, what if Marc comes in," she said nervously. "Its ok he asked me to come up here and clean you up a little bit before time to go." "Go, what?" Ally asked. "Marc is moving us back to the Ranch in Texas. We leave in about two hours, so I suggest we get this over with," Jason says as he leans over and gently kisses her on the lips.
Ally let Jason help clean her up, and then he stepped out while she put her clothes on. Every bone in her body was screaming its rejection of having to get up and move. Ally moved back over to the bed to wait time to go.
Marc worked in his office getting everything set up for Texas. Marc looks up when Jason walks into his office. Jason goes over and takes a seat across the desk from Marc. "Is she ready," Marc asks. "Yes, all prettied up and ready to go," Jason replied.
Ally lies on the bed thinking about what Marc had said the night before, about loving her. Could it be true? She thought. And what about Jay and the things that he had said? She did love Marc and yet she loved Jason just as much. Jason had never miss treated her or hit her. Only Marc did that, Marc's kisses were painful and Jason's were soft and gentle.
"INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT," sounded through out the whole house. Ally got up off the bed and went to the window. Outside people were running around crazy and Ally was able to make out some that were new, she became nervous hating that she could not get out of the fucking room.
"INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALER," Marc heard come across the P.A system. Marc jumped into action, "Jason go assess the situation and get back here pronto," Marc ordered. Once Jason was gone Marc turned to the security screens and recognized at once, DX they had made the party.
Jason ran back to Marc's office he burst through the door, "Boss you have to get out of here, there inside the house, you must go," Jason said looking pointedly at his boss. "I must get Ally first," Marc started for the door but was stopped by Jason, "Let me go." "No boss go, its too dangerous. You go on ahead I'll get to Ally and bring her to you, go before they get you," Jason screams at his boss and then turns and leaves the office. Marc takes a second look at the door and turns to the panel behind his desk. He steps through it and is gone in a flash.
Jason races up the hall to Ally's room, but stops abruptly when he sees the DX leader kicking the door. No way was he going up against him again, the last time left him with one nasty scare. Jason rubbed across his stomach absent-mindedly. Turning he heads back to Marc's office to get away. He knew that he would have to stay at least a day behind Marc.
Ally heard someone kicking at her door and looked around for a weapon or some place to hide. The door crashed open and a man stormed into her room. "Ally I'm here to help you escape, come on we have to go now," the man said crossing the room to Ally. "No, get away from me, where's Marc, where's Jay," Ally said backing away from the man. "Jesus Christ," was all the man said before he threw a screaming and kicking Ally over his shoulder and ran from the room.
Once in the hallway the guy headed down the front steps. Several ministry members advanced toward him, he raised his guy and began to fire dropping them where they stood like flies. He exited the house and ran across the front lawn just in time for the house to explode knocking him and Ally to the ground. Ally kicked out as the man went to grab her again.
Out of nowhere came all too familiar voice to Ally, "If you ever cared for me and our friendship you'll get off that blonde ass of yours and run damnit." Ally knew exactly who it was, "Gabby," she said quickly before jumping up and running.
Gabby turned around to make sure that Ally had followed and was pleased to see her right on her heels. Shawn was following behind Ally. The three of them made it to a van that was waiting for them, they jumped in and moved forward along the drive. Gabby looked out the window scanning the area for Adam, "Stop!" she yelled when she spotted Adam bursting through the trees, he had two ministry members hot on his ass. Chyna jammed on the breaks, sliding to a stop. Shawn swung open the doors and opened fire on the guys following Adam. Adam jumped into the van and Shawn slammed the doors shut. Chyna shoved the car in gear and sped off throwing gravel in her wake.
Gabby couldn't resist the urge any longer she grabbed Ally and hugged her tightly. Pulling back she looked at Ally in the face and about screamed her friend had been terribly beaten.
Ally looked at Gabby and burst into tears, so many times she wished she could see Gabby. And now she was no longer an out of reach dream or a wish made on star, but flesh and blood Gabby. Ally wrapped her arms around her friend and cried.
The crew in the van made the house by nightfall. They crawled out of the van, Adam approached Gabby, "Is she ok," he said looking at Ally. "Yeah just very shaken up is all," Gabby says with her arm around her friend. "Adam, is that really you," Ally says looking at him.
Ally begins to shutter as fear ran up her spine. She starts to pull away from Gabby. "You have to take me back, please, he can't be mad at me again," Ally begins to cry trying to push Gabby away. Her cries become screams, in her head she can already feel the punishment and she can her Marc's hateful words. "Now I have to go, Adam please take me back you work for Marc you can tell him you were protecting me, god please some one any one help me," Ally began to scream hysterically.
Gabby is shocked by the way Ally is acting, she begins to cry. She knows that this is all because of that fucker Marc. She could see the fear in her friend's eyes and she just wanted to die. God how could I have let this happen?
"I'M SORRY MARC, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVEEEEEEE!" Ally wells as she crumbles to her knees and begins to pull her hair. Gabby goes to take a step forward but is stopped when Shawn steps forward and picks her up kicking and screaming and carries her into the house. Gabby begins to cry and turns to Adam. It was almost like she could feel the terror that was wrapping its way around her friend. Her piercing screams revealing the agony of her soul. It was all too much.
"Gabby she will be all right, this is normal for the ones that get away. Trust me I was that way once. To them its like they can feel his reach mentally and its terrifying, but she will be ok," Chyna says rubbing her back as Adam holds her.
Through out the night every one could her Ally's screams and agony. Eventually around three am in the morning the house became quiet. Gabby quietly made her way toward Ally's room, she enters to find Chyna sitting on a couch across from the bed. The picture on the bed is what caught Gabby as being odd. Shawn was curled around a quietly sleeping Ally. "Shhh," Chyna said looking at the other woman. She motions for the woman to follow her to the bathroom.
"Why is he in bed with her," Gabby asks Chyna as soon as the door closes. "Gabby it's ok, he is doing exactly what he needs too. It's to keep her from hurting herself, you saw what she was doing in the yard. Don't worry he wont' hurt her. He did the same for me," Chyna said looking at the other woman. "I'm just glad she finally quit screaming," Gabby said letting out a shuddering breath. Chyna walked over and put her arms around the other woman holding her. Gabby sobbed once again not for herself but her friend. After a while the two women went back out and sat on the couch. Gabby got up and checked on Ally several times through the early morning time. Occasionally she would brush some hair out of her face and gaze openly at the many bruises on Ally's face. Gabby also noticed that not once did Shawn move he stayed in the same spot, with his arms around Ally almost like he was cradling a fragile child.
Eventually Adam made his way to the room as well. He noticed Gabby and Chyna asleep on the couch and then walked over to the bed where Shawn was lying holding Ally. God why couldn't he have stopped this? He thought to himself as he looked at Ally.
