BOOM!
"Ryker!" I screamed and I fell on my knees and placed my hands against the glass as my whole world felt as if it stopped.
It was just me....everything felt frozen in time and I zoned out of everything and I couldn't even focus to see Ryker or anything.
Everything was a blur and I was frozen in shock.
I saw my reflection in the mirror and my face was pale white and my eyes looked lifeless and I had no emotion in me.
I just stared at my reflection...and I couldn't move as more gun-shots were heard. I was being shaken and I heard a faint voice of my name being yelled by everyone.
I think Rhett was coming close to us, and was coming to shoot us.
"Rain! Rain! Rain! Snap Out of it! Rain!" I heard faint voices yelling and I closed my eyes shut and a single tear escaped my eye and traveled down my cheek.
I was picked up by someone and they started to run while carrying me.
I heard faint gun-shots and my mind was in a state-of-shock, and my whole body was too and was frozen.
I felt paralyzed...
I had no emotion that I could feel, and everything was still a blur as my head stayed on one thought.
Ryker.
I heard some kind of explosion and then was outside, I was set down and I stood there still frozen, and I saw a field.
"Rain" A voice whispered and it was Ryker's voice and nobody was beside me.
"Rain, princess. I need you to snap out of it" Ryker's voice said and there was an imaginary image of him standing beside me "Do this for me, please princess".
I stared straight ahead as my vision was still blurry. I felt so empty and cold....
"Rain! Thompson, snap out of it! Rain! Come back!" Voices all yelled very faintly and I was being shaken by the shoulders and my vision narrowed in and came back and I saw Craig standing in front of me, as he was shaking me.
I saw everyone gathered around looking worried and my hearing came back and I gasped, as if I was being strangled and I fell to the ground and coughed.
Everyone ran up and gathered around me.
"Oh my God! You're alright!" Craig said and pulled me into a tight hug, and then it hit me.
Ryker's was shot.
I pulled out of Craig's grip and started to panic "I have to go-I have to go see him! I have to go! " then I turned around and started to run towards the church.
Neil grabbed me and pulled me back, and I saw the church was on fire.
My eyes widened and my mind ran threw thoughts, I pulled out of Neil's grip and quickly ran into the burning cathedral.
"Rain! Rain! Get out of there!" They all yelled after me, but I ran into the building and coughed as the smoke fill me lungs.
I looked around and everything was in flames. I quickly ran through the halls, and couldn't figure out where the main room was again, because this place is a huge labyrinth.
Ashes were falling and I yelled "Ryker! Ryker!"
I looked around and tried to figure out where to go, I took a turn down the hall and ran as I searched everywhere for Ryker.
But I didn't know if he was dead or not....
Ryker Anderson
I coughed as the smoke filled my lungs and I couldn't breath correctly. I squinted my eyes to try not to get smoke in them and I started to walk to the door but a huge piece of wood fell down in front of the door and it was on flames.
"Shit"! I muttered, and I quickly grabbed a chair and walked over to the window glass. I smashed the chair repeatedly into that until it cracked, and I clutched my fist and sent a punch to the glass and it shattered.
I walked out into the hall and I heard something explode and burst into flames in the back. I ran down the hall and I searched for a way out.
Ashes fell on me and sparks and I hissed in pain as I got some burns from the fire, and I continued to run down the hall.
I searched for anyone I knew, or if any of the gang was still in here.
My mind suddenly went to Rain, and the look on her face broke me.
God, is she okay?!
"Ryker"! I heard yelling and it sounded like Rain.
"Rain! Rain!" I yelled as I ran down random hallways that I had no idea where they led too, and hoped to find her.
"Ryker!" Her voice yelled and echoed through the halls, and I followed it as my heart was racing and adrenaline was rushing though me.
"Rain!" I yelled and I came to see her trapped in a corner, by a piece of wood that had fallen and it was in flames.
Her eyes widened as she saw me and I tried to figure out how to get her out.
"Rain come as close to me as you can" I ordered and she did as told and their was an explosion sound and the roof caved in with pieces of glass and wood falling.
Rain fell onto her knees and ducked as she tried to avoid being hit by the things falling, and I quickly ran over and grabbed her and she had a coughing-fit.
"I can't walk" She said "A piece of wood fell on my ankle" and I quickly picked her up bridal style and she buried her face into my chest avoid inhaling anymore smoke.
I ran down the halls as the roofs caved in more and heard cracking sounds of the wood about to fall apart.
This church was built out of materials of wood, glass, and etc with boulders that held the ceilings up high and the ceiling parts fell.
A boulder then came crashing down right in front of the exit and I muttered "Shit" and Rain had pieces of ashes fall on her and burn her as she hissed in pain.
I saw out a far window that there were cars everywhere including Ambulance, Fire, and Police department were out there as lights flashed.
"Ryker, I can't breath" Rain struggled to say and was trying to catch her breath that was not filled with smoke.
MomI said "Don't worry Princess, I'll get you out of here", and I looked around and looked for an exit.
I ran down the hall and saw an opening, and a boulder crashed down I quickly guarded Rain with my body, so that she wouldn't get hurt and I hissed in pain and ignored the pain and continued to run.
Rain was coughing like crazy as she inhaled more smoke and I quickly went to the exit and pushed the door open and came out to where lots of people were.
I set Rain down and she began to cough and paramedics took her and raced her to the ambulance as other paramedics came up to me and tried to check me but I ignored them and tried to go up to the ambulance and yelled "Rain!"
A guy shut the doors of the ambulance "Sorry sir but you cannot go in there. You can meet her at the hospital" then walking to the drivers side and getting in and they took off.
I stood there frozen as I watched the ambulance drive off, and Leah came up and pulled me into a tight hug "Oh my God, Ryker! Are you alright"?
"Yeah...I'm fine..." I trailed off as I stared down the road.
* * * * *
"Where is she"!? I yelled as I ran into the hospital and Joel stood up from his chair and came up to me "She's being checked up. She sprained her ankle, right now they're casting her".
I sighed in relief and ran a hand threw my hair "Thank God".
