My eyes opened to knocking as I looked out over the window, Mami was there along with Shadow, his hood still up casting a long black shadow over his face.
I groggily opened the back door for them and knew for a fact it was the greatest mistake of my life.
I didn't see the gun until Mami was fully forced into the back seat, her eyes getting ready to spill over with tears. The hooded person I just realized lacked the red stripes Shadow sported and his signature glasses, and came into the front seat with the gun pointing to my head.
"What a surprise." The man's voice sounded practically dreamy that is until he removed the hood, I also realized was navy rather than black.
The man was a black lynx that had small ears and a small tail for his breed making it seem that he must be a hybrid. His eyes were a deep aquamarine, and his clothes were simple dark colors. But the one thing that distinguished his features more was the gaping scar along his eye, which nearly looked fresh.
"I never thought I would get two beautiful girls in one night. That hedgehog would've died in peace if he knew I wouldn't have found you, but the poor bastard is long gone now." The man turned on the car fully and backed out of the parking lot to drive off somewhere secluded, most likely.
The way this man was talking, I just couldn't quite grasp what happened, until I heard Mami whimper in defeat and pain. This man, he . . . He killed Shadow?
Then the question that was blurred under the tension of the car ride here finally came up, who exactly was this guy?
"Y-you didn't kill Shadow did you, Ryan?" Mami's quiet voice came out in gasp.
The man, possibly called Ryan just smiled.
"Don't worry love, he wouldn't separate us again. And after all, we have a new playmate for our little game tonight." Ryan's voice lost all charm as his psychotic nature surfaced up.
"W-who are you?" My voice was shaky, but I tried to be brave just remembering that I actually brought my hammer with me, this time. The only thing I need to worry about now is just the timing.
"Ah, how rude of me; my name is Ryan Evers and I'm this lovely little angel's ex, will not anymore, were going to be together again. And this time I made sure that Shadow guy would be cutting into our lovely time together." Ryan had turned off on a road that was going off into the darker parts of the bright city.
"And how are you going to do that, and with me for that matter?"
"Well you're going to be the one to make sure the gun's bullets aren't blank, because I want to make it so Mami and I can die at the same time."
Shit, this guy is a real time whack job.
"Mami what does he mean?" I whispered to her in order to avoid the crazy stare Ryan was giving me every minute or two.
"He wants to kill us in a group suicide."
The word 'suicide' stuck to my spine like a needle jabbed into someone's barefoot. I looked up and could see at a distance that alongside the road was a dimly lite motel. Oh how, damn convenient, and of all places too. I had to act now, or else everyone was dead.
I snatched the gun out of Ryan's hand as he tried to grab it back and in the action started to swerve the car. We fought over the gun until Ryan took his hands away from the wheel and his fist connected with my nose. That blow was enough to piss me off and I took out my hammer.
Unlike the old days, when I used to carry a large red and yellow hammer, I decided to modernize it and have it be a bright pink mallet. But the one thing that remained is that it could give a clean knockout if it knocked someone enough times, which was usually once.
I aimed the head of the hammer straight at Ryan's face but the jackass moved in time for me to put out the window. I aimed again and this time Ryan grabbed the wheel and jerked it right in order to knock me off balance and even push the car onto the desert-like paths on either side of it. And the rocks we ran over were making me lose focus and aim.
Thank God this was a Hummer because we would've have flipped a long time ago. I bite my tongue at my praised thought as I felt suspended in mid-air (or as far as mid-air went when you had a seat beat strapped over your thighs') for a moment and then all crashed down in an imminent stillness, as the shot of a gun was the last thing heard before everything went black.
Wow, three whole chapters and sorry they were so short. The Fan Character Contest will be held on Oct. 22 and will run through Oct. 31.
The type of characters I'll be looking for are people your not afraid to kill off, strippers' at Club Rouge, guests at Club Rouge, friend's of main characters, and maybe the one I find to be the best will be a main character in the story. I'll post up the descriptions on Wednesday, Oct. 19.
So remember to R&R, because not only am I choosing from the pile of people who reviewed the story but reviews are ecstasy to the writers' soul.
Oh and one more thing I wish for more feedback on my writing style rather story this time. You can flame me, but just don't put something like, "you shouldn't exist as a writer because your story sucks :P." Make it a bit professional please because I want to grow as a writer and write better fan fiction and original stories along the way.
