Through Rayne's Eyes

Chapter 8

"Wasn't she in the kitchen when we last saw her?" Danny asks.

"I think so. Let's go look." Sully replied and he and Danny went into the kitchen.

Henry went into the room where Rayne and JD were. She was brushing his hair away from his face with her hand and crying. Henry knelt down and put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, ignore Shane. He's just being an ass."

"It's not that Henry…." Rayne sniffled, looking at him from over her shoulder. "I wouldn't be able to live with the fact if JD did die. I've been friends with him since I was 7 years old."

"Do you love him?" Henry asks.

Rayne was silent for a moment before she slowly nodded. "For a long time."

"Well, when he wakes up, you can tell him that." he said.

Then, Trish came into the room. "Danny and Sully found a trail of blood that leads into a tunnel. Beth might've gone down there."

"You wanna come?" Henry asks Rayne.

She shook her head. He nodded, understanding and left the room with Trish.

Rayne leaned over and kissed JD on the forehead. She sniffled again. "I love you JD. I always have."

"Well now, isn't this touching?"

Rayne turned to see Shane standing in the doorway, with a smirk on his face. Rayne sighed. "Shane, not now please."

"Oh, I think it's the perfect time. JD killed Kelly and now I'm gonna kill him." Shane brought out a switch-blade and began walking towards Rayne and JD.

All of a sudden, JD leaped up from the couch and tackled Shane to the ground. Shane dropped the switch-blade.

"Stop it Shane!!" Rayne yelled.

Just then Maggie came into the room. "Shane!! Stop it!!"

Shane punched JD where his wound was and he fell onto the floor. Shane grabbed the switch-blade and raised it above JD's chest.

"No!!!" Rayne jumped on Shane's back, wrapping both arms around his neck tightly, choking him.

"Get off you little bitch!!" Shane yelled and threw her off. But she grabbed his arm and bit his arm hard also.

Shane yelled out in pain and smacked her in the face, making her fall onto the floor.

"Son of a bitch!!" JD knocked the switch-blade out of Shane's hands and the two rolled around on the floor.

Trish and Katherine ran into the room. "Shane!!!" Trish screamed when Shane wrapped both hands around JD's neck tightly.

Rayne grabbed the rifle off the floor, ran over and smacked Shane in the head with it. He fell to the floor, clutching his head in pain as Rayne helped JD up. His wound was slightly bleeding and she pointed the rifle at Shane. "Trish, can you go get my bag? It's by the bar."

Trish nodded and left the room, coming back with Rayne's bag. Rayne cocked the rifle and glared at Shane. "Lay one more finger on JD and I will pull the trigger."

Shane eyed his switch-blade and made a grab for it, but Katherine grabbed it first and pointed it at him. Shane scoffed, still holding the back of his head. "Four against one, not fair Rayne."

"If you even come near JD, I'll kill you. Now get out."

Shane didn't move.

"I said GET OUT!!!"

Shane held up his hands in defeat. "Whatever, I give up…" he grumbled and left the room. "Stupid bitch…."

Rayne led JD over to the couch and laid him down. Trish handed Rayne her bag and she began working on JD's wound. "How'd you know Shane came in?" she asks.

"I heard his switch-blade and his footsteps." JD replied.

A few minutes later, Rayne finished dressing his wound and Trish had gotten him a shirt. "How do you feel?" Trish asks.

"Sore and tired…." He replied. Katherine had tossed Rayne Shane's switch-blade and put it into her pocket, with the blade inside the switch.

"I'm going go…call if you need anything." Trish said and she and Katherine left.

"You should get some sleep. You look exhausted." JD said.

Rayne shook her head and sat beside him. "I can't sleep what if Shane comes back?"

"Well, you've got his knife and a gun." He answered. "Besides, Katherine's in the other room with him."

Rayne sighed tiredly and leaned against his shoulder, eyes dropping. JD pulled the blanket over the both of them just as her eyes closed.

……………………………..

"Rayne….wake up…" someone gently shook Rayne from her sleep.

"Hmmmmm…………" Rayne opened her eyes and looked tiredly at Henry. "What time is it?"

"A little after 7, we've found Madison." Henry replied and left the room to go outside with the others.

Rayne looked over at JD, who was still asleep. She smiled a little and got up quietly going into the other room when Shane ran out of another. "What's the matter Shane?"

"It's….Katherine…." he replied, pointing into the room he came out of.

Rayne ran into the room and saw Katherine sitting on one of the couches, blood seeping out from behind her. Rayne opened her mouth and screamed.

In the other room, JD bolted awake from Rayne's scream. He ran into the room just as Henry and the others came in to find Rayne screaming her lungs out. Shane stared at the dead Katherine as blood pooled onto the floor and towards them.
