His Brutality(7)

Lucas didn't react when he saw Ashly slit Robert's throat. He didn't even flinch at all, he looks up at Ashly with a tired face.

Robert falls down backwards as he continues to bleed, he clutches his neck as he gargles. Ashly is panting and she drops the shard of glass, her hand is bleeding as she cut herself by accident.

Ashly begins to slowly walk to Lucas, "I'm…I'm sorry." This was all Ashly could say after dragging him into this situation.

"Why are you sorry for?" He asks her, his voice sounds too calm. He rubs his eyes with his hands, and it hurts, his whole body hurts a lot.

"Well…Besides this, I'm talking about how you're acting right now. You're not the same person I know, you aren't crying or looking away at the fact that I just killed soemone in front of you. Lucas, by now you would of told me why it's wrong to kill, but you're just looking at me as if it never happened." Ashly says as she looks him in the eyes, he doesn't have the same eyes as before.

"Well since I stabbed him I knew something, I knew it couldn't be avoided. Robert, he was different, he deserved to die, and no one should be sad that he did die. I do feel so but not as much as before, and it's for a different reason." Lucas says as he just sat in the ground.

Ashly sits down next to Lucas, and they stay silent for a little bit, "Ashly, can you go get your gun?" He asks her and Ashly says she that will, "Can you help me get back up? I'm not strong enough to do that currently."

"Well I would but I only sat down because I felt weak, my feet hurt a lot." Ashly says and they both laugh. Ashly looks at Lucas, and sees that he is having a bit of fun. Maybe this isn't so bad after all, he seems to be smiling.

Lucas seems to be acting more or less the way she always wanted him to act. He is being less overly emotional, but in a bad way, she didn't want him to learn it this way

Ashly moves in and gives Lucas a hug, she doesn't know why she is doing it, but she believes it's the right thing. As she hugs him Lucas tops laughing, he then begins to cry into Ashly's shoulder.

"Ashly, I'm not alright, this hurts so much, and I hate it." Lucas hugs Ashly back as he continues to cry, he doesn't want this.

Ashly smiles slightly, "It's alright Lucas, just cry as it means you are still normal. Don't stop crying Lucas, I won't make fun of you ever again." Ashly says as she thinks she is comforting him.

As Lucas continues to cry he looks up, and sees that Robert is trying to stand up. "He-He's still alive Ashly!" Lucas yells out, and Ashly turns to see Robert now already up.

Ashly is too tired to fight back now, she knows Lucas isn't even strong enough to do anything either. "I should of cut his head off or stabbed him again." Ashly said, she messed up.

Robert looks right at them, "I won't die until you two are corpses, I'll make sure of that." He begins to walk towards them, Lucas spots Robert's revolver, and he pushes himself to crawl to it.

Lucas grabs the revolver, and points it at Robert, "Stop moving for else I'll shot." He says as he takes deep breaths, "I won't hesitate to pull the trigger, just lay down and die already."

Ashly knows that the gun is empty, she kicked it out before Robert could reload it. "I know that the gun is empty." He points it to the ground to where the bullets are.

"Well are you sure about that? Every time you were confident, you would get proven wrong, and you should know that by now." Lucas says as he is softly crying.

"I'm not bluffing at all as I don't want to risk anything." Lucas says and Ashly looks down, and notices something.

"Bullshit, you're lying to me." Robert says with a confident smile, but then Lucas shots him right in the throat. Robert stumbles, and walks backwards until he bumps into a wall and sits down.

"I only managed to put in one bullet, I'm so glad I got lucky." Lucas then drops the gun, and turns to Ashly, "Ashly, if he doesn't die from this then you should kill him. I can't focus right now, I just need to rest."

Lucas then lies down and closes his eyes, his body hurts, and he wants to forget about the pain. Ashly on the other hand watches Robert hold onto his neck, he is making weird noises.

Ashly doesn't dare to look away until Robert begins to loosen up. Robert then sits there motionless, and Ashly smiles, he is actually dying this time.

This time she isn't going to be stupid, Ashly slowly reaches her arms, and grabs the gun. Ashly then forces herself to crawl to where the bullets where. They are quite far from them, but she isn't going to stop, she grabs a bullet and puts it inside.

Ashly then turns and shots Robert in the head, surely he is now dead. Ashly then throws the gun away, and lies down just like Lucas. All she wants to do is look at the sky, but her eyes are closing without her permission.

Ashly can't scream at all which is terrible as she wants Lucas to get help. Ashly wants to scream for help, but all she can say is, "So…someone please save Lucas." Her voice is too low for anyone to hear.

Ashly tries again, "S-someone…save Lucas." Ashly then tries again and again, but she begins to slip out of consciousness. Ashly doesn't want to pass out. She tries her best to stay awake, and ask for help.

Ashly tries to keep her eyes open, but they become blurry. Ashly then feels heavy, she feels very heavy, and then she passes out.

…..

After a while Ashly slowly wakes up, and she can see some people are carrying them. Ashly is dizzy and she doesn't know who they are, but she believes they are emergency services or whatever Lucas said.

"Please save his life first." Ashly says and she can hear someone yelling about one of them being awake. Sadly that isn't the case as she falls back to sleep immediately.

Ashly then wakes up in a hospital bed, Ashly then spots a doctor, and a few nurses. She notices how tired they look, and it seems like it's sunny outside.

"For how long was I out for?" Ashly asks as she tries to get up, her body still hurts like hell.

"You were out cold for three weeks dear, you're lucky to even be alive." The doctor says, he is surprised that she even survived with how much blood she had left. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened, and why was your body in such a horrible condition?"

"I was assaulted by someone." Ashly knows w she can't tell the truth, obviously she just can't. "All I can remember is my friend Lucas the one you all brought in as well. He helped me out when I was being assaulted, I don't remember much after that." Ashly said as she rubs her head.

She can't believe she was out for that long, ashly grunts as she tries to get up. "Don't move! You sustained life threatening injuries. Listen, the man that I assume assaulted you was dangerous. He killed many people, but you healed mostly fine.

Ashly moves her body a bit, and sure enough it's mostly fine. Her ankle is normal, and her nose is fixed. She is lucky that she did not break a bone. Ashly sighs in relief, "What about Lucas?"

"The boy has yet to wake up, he seems to be in a worse condition than you, but we are trying our best." The doctor says, and Ashly feels a weird sensation in her chest.

"I want to see him now." Ashly says as she tries to get back up, but the nurses try to gently push her back onto the bed.

"Listen you can't, you're still healing." The doctor says, but she ignores him, "Make sure to not let her get out of her bed, she still needs to rest." He says to the nurses.

"I just need to see him right now, please just let me see him once." Ashly says as she is worried for him, she need to see how injured he looks. "I just want to check up on him as he would do the same, and try to see me."

"I was being reckless, and that caused me to be targeted. I caused this to him, and I want to see him, I feel guilty." Ashly says.

Ashly gets up and she almost slips, but she looks right at the doctor. "Fine, just make it quick, and come back as you still need to rest."

Ashly begins to walk out to the room, her feet hurt, but she will bare it. Ashly begins to slowly walk to the room that she was told he was in. Ashly walks pass a hallway, and finds the room. She gets closer, and checks on the window.

Lucas is fully covered in bandages, and some of the bandages are dark red. It's clear that Lucas has been bleeding for a bit if the stains are that dark. Ashly slowly opens the door, and enters the room.

One thing that Ashly notices is that there aren't any doctors or nurses nearby. This could mean that Lucas is in a stable condition to not need any immediate attention.

Ashly walks up to Lucas bed, and she grabs a chair and sits down next to him. Lucas looks very peaceful which makes her glad, but that's not why she is here entirely.

"Lucas, I want to say that I'm sorry." Ashly puts her head down, "If only I killed those two men back then, none of this would of happened. None for this would be your problem, I'm sorry."

Ashly puts her hand on Lucas's bed, "I never wanted to be your friend because I'm a heartless monster. You deserve better, so much better than anyone else should. I should of died with Robert as a way to atone for my crimes. That would of gotten rid of two rotten people, I should of been dead."

"I don't want you to die right now, I want you to live if I'm alive. Lucas, I want you to wake up very soon, I'll gladly switch places with you if I could." She says.

Ashly holds the hand of Lucas who is still unconscious, she can tell the bandages are soft. She can feel how warm and soft his hands are, Ashly can hear him breathing.

"I want you to forgive me for messing up this badly. I'll work as hard as I can if it means you'll give me another chance. I just want to make you smile, and never make you feel bad every again." Ashly says as she is holding back something inside her.

Ashly watches Lucas's chest rise, and fall slowly. She rests her head gently on top of his chest. "I'm sorry Lucas, I want you to be ok." She then holds his hands as she closes her eyes.
