Adrienne nodded slightly as the water and granola bar was taken, rising to her feet. She began to work on cleaning, rinsing off her arms before setting to work on the blood that had made its way to the door. Removing every spot of blood proved to be a difficult task, finding more every so often. She had given up with the couch, there was no way she could clean it, not now anyways.

With everything as clean as she could make it, she sat down herself, her fingers tapping rapidly against her thigh. She couldn’t keep her pain focused on one thought for longer than a second, the thought of grabbing Rayne more clothes, never even crossed her mind.

When Rayne got up, Adrienne quickly stood, ready to catch her if necessary. When that proved unneeded, she let her arms drop down to her side. She wasn’t accustomed to caring for others, or really how to properly talk to someone who had been through something like this. She knew how to deal with herself, but others was a shortcoming. She nodded slightly when Rayne stated she should go home,” Okay... and of course I’ll give you a ride. I don’t know how far you live, don’t want to risk that.”

She looked around briefly, spotting the bottle of alcohol she had somehow forgotten,” let me just put this away real quick.” Picking it up, she began to walk to the kitchen, only for Leo to let out an incredibly loud warning bark. Startled, the bottle slipped from her hand, landing on the floor and breaking. With it, the barrier around her emotions shattered, fear filling her from head to toe. “Shit!” Leo had forced his way between Rayne and the door, growling loudly at it.

Adrienne swiftly grabbed the red bag containing her emergency first aid supplies, running towards Rayne. She grabbed Leo’s collar with one hand, and Rayne’s uninjured arm in the other, pure panic in her eyes. “To the garage quick!” She hurried, as much as the protective German Shepard and her new injured companion would let her, to the garage door. Flinging it open, she tossed her bag onto her car, shoving Leo out the door, which was met by distressed sounds,” Keep Leo in here, and get in the car, I’ll drive and I’ll be out in a second. I don’t care what you hear, don’t let him or yourself inside, it’ll only make things worse.” Handing Rayne her keys, she quickly shut the door, just in time for the front door to be slammed open.

“Adrienne! Where the hell are you?! What is all this shit?! You breaking my stuff now?!” Through the door walked an older male, with dark hair, and looking incredibly unkept. Adrienne enteres the room, her voice soft,” I’m here.” Looking at the man that was supposedly her father, she felt herself shrink inside, and she hurried over to the broken glass, and beginning to pick it up, paying no attention to the sharp shards. She had no time to react, when a heavy handed punch landed on her jaw, shoving her away from the glass, and she turned towards her father. A second followed not long after, impacting her face, throwing her into her back. She couldn’t deal with a beating, not now. As she father moved to stand above her, she reared up, kicking him between the legs before scrambling away.

The blow sent him to his knees, as he yelled between his teeth,” you little piece of shit!” Adrienne stood, beginning to run, when a heavy object smashed into her back, knocking her down to the floor. She let out a sharp whimper as all the air was knocked from her body, faintly hearing the sound of the largest remains of the bottle dropping onto the ground and falling. She quickly forced herself up, panic and fear driving her. She ran, crashing into the door to the garage, before opening it enough to exit. She hurried to the drivers door, taking short sharp breaths, she would’ve called Leo to her if he was outside of the car still, moving to let him in and get into the car.
