It was Kai. She took the call and got him off the phone as quickly as she could. She could barely even breathe evenly nevermind hold a damn conversation. In the moment, she had lied to him and Ada. She felt awful but she didn't want those two talking about her staying at Marc's last night. She didn't need that on top of everything else. She gripped her phone tightly and just remained in her position on the floor. Her limbs felt like jello, shaking and wobbling each time she tried to move them. She vaguely heard her the room door being knocked but didn't respond. Not long after, it pushed open and then she heard Marc's voice. Of course it was Marc, she was in his parent's house. Wasn't really all that surprising but something about it being Marc that was there in this moment made her flinch in surprise. She watched his eyes, the worry clear as day within them, as he tried to find out what was wrong with her. She felt hollow if truth be told, her mind was a million miles away and her gut was plummeting through the centre of the Earth right now. She couldn't stop shaking. Licking her dried out lips, Ashley glanced away from Marc as he stroked her hair and then wrapped her in his jacket, helping her get up onto her feet. She flicked her phone on, unlocked it and opened the message before showing it to Marc. [color=crimson]"Someone is trying to mess with me, probably someone thinking it's a good idea to pull a prank. I'll be honest, it scared the hell out of me but I'm okay now. I-I'll be okay."[/color] Her voice cracked a couple of times and she wrapped her arms around herself and hugged her chest. Her fingers curled around her arms and she squeezed them, just to prove to herself she was still here and not dreaming.

Jasmin smiled and thanked him for his kindness as she climbed into his truck and bid farewell to her Lexus as Lawson climbed into the driver's side. She glanced over and was about to ask him something but the question completely let her mind and she raised a questioning eyebrow at the weapon that he pulled from practically no where. [color=DAF05B]"I do hope you don't plan on actually [i]using[/i] that thing? Shit really is serious... It's just... Wow, I never thought my ten year reunion would turn into a media circus."[/color] She ran her fingers through her ponytail and draped it across her left shoulder. She buckled herself in and then played with the ends of her hair, her fingers deftly making small braids as she sat in the car and Lawson drove. She glanced towards him now and again and smiled in an awkward yet comfortable fashion. She put the radio on fairly quickly and let the local radio station play. It kept broadcasting mentions of the deaths that had happened and then mentioned the picnic today. As quickly as she had turned it on, it was off again. [color=DAF05B]"Sorry, thought there might be some music on the station but I forgot how news hungry the media is around smaller towns."[/color] She sighed and pulled her cell out, looking through her Facebook feed and finding more than a few status updates from people here at the reunion talking about how they think the killer is after them and that they're in so much danger and all the usual bullshit that comes with these kinds of events. [color=DAF05B]"I swear people become so self absorbed when it comes to these kinds of situations. At least half of the people I have on Facebook from high school are talking about how they're next and that it's all their fault that people are dying. Fucking idiots, no wonder I didn't keep in touch."[/color] She locked her phone and threw it into her handbag. She glanced over to Lawson with an apologetic look on her face. [color=DAF05B]"Sorry, I get more than a little touchy sometimes."[/color] Glancing towards the road, Jasmin realised that they were practically at their destination. She had forgotten how small Grimm really was.

Let's go get our girl then get you sorted for the day."[/color] He started the truck up and got it moving. Once he was comfortably driving, he wrapped his less needed arm around Ada and glanced down to her and smiled. [color=cc5200]"So what kind of phone am I treating you to? Something flashy and overpriced or a heap of junk that looks like a brick but refuses to break? I'm thinking we need the latter since your previous phone was destroyed so very easily by the ground..."[/color] He ran his fingers through her hair and then gently down the side of her neck before resting his hand on her shoulder. [color=cc5200]"I'm really worried about Ash. She sounded off on the phone, right? I mean, that wasn't just me... You heard it too right?"[/color] He was glad that Ada hadn't continued storming off on him that morning, it was so nostalgic having her with him again. It honestly felt like they'd never been apart. Except that they had. There was so much hurt in their lives all because of him and his decision. His grip tightened on the wheel and his knuckles turned white. He held onto Ada tighter and rested his cheek on top of her head, breathing her in and keeping her close. Everything was so fucked up before and now... Kai had no idea what was going to happen but he knew one thing. He'd protect Ada with his life. He owed her that much and so much more. [hr]
