Mapleshade glanced around, seeming calm. "You all do realize we outnumber you, right? If you shoot one of us you will be instantly slaughtered. Along with Alice."


Wolfram met his fathers gaze, heart beating violently in his chest. "Let her go." He hissed, voice trembling with fear. "Do not hurt her." He glanced at River and Toby, his expression unreadable. Glancing back at his father, he just caught Alice's words.

Michael pressed the knife closer to her throat, a low growl rumbling in his throat. "Tell me where the key is, and your friends will go unscathed."

Wolfram hissed, fear distinct in his eyes. He slunk closer to his father, lowering the gun to his side. "Let her go. I'll tell you where the key is if you let her go."

Michael narrowed his eyes, untrusting of his son. "How do I know you'll tell me? What if its a trick?"

"I swear, We'll tell you. Just let her go, please...." Wolfram pleaded.

"Fine. Remember my men are still surrounding you. With guns."

It's working! Wolfram's heart raced with adrenaline as Michael let go of Alice, pushing her forcefully toward Wolfram.

"Tell me where the key is, then."

Wolfram suddenly jerked the gun upward, planting the tip to his fathers chest, finger hovering over the trigger. "On second thought, nah, we aren't going to give you the key. Toby, keep Mapleshade there. River, Taylor and Alice, shoot at anyone who tries to make one more move."

Toby took a step closer to Mapleshade, still out of arms reach. "I reaallly want to kill you right now. If you try anything, I will. Do you understand?" He hissed, glaring daggers at her.

"You think I care, Monster? If you were to shoot one of us, we'd blow holes in your head and Freak's head. You two would be dead before your men could kill us." River sneered, nodding swiftly to Wolfram's command. "And if you do move, I'm not gonna hesitate to help you kick the bucket."

*incoherent nervous screaming*)



"Wolfram." Michael growled. "Back away, now." He growled.
"No!" Wolfram hissed, hatred glowing in his eyes.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Michael asked, surprisingly almost gently.
"Because of what you did! You broke my heart when you abandoned me and mom! I always tried to make you proud of me, but you never noticed me. You acted like I was no one!" Wolfram paused, swallowing a sob. "You broke me! You broke my heart...and I hate you, because I still love you...and I hate myself for it. I hate that I still love you after all the hurt you caused me! But I love you because...because you're my father...." He choked on his words, forcing his father backward until Michael's back hit the tree. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I have to do this. I have to kill you. I have to...." He ended in a desperate whisper, silent tears streaming down his face now. "I have to protect those I care about. I care about you, I love you, but I have to kill you. Because you are a monster. I can't look at you the same way any more because now I know how much of a monster you are..."
"Wolfram stop. Don't do this. Join me and Mapleshade, I'll help you. I can help you heal. Join us, please." Michael murmured, his voice surprisingly gentle.
"No! No no no! You killed my mom! I will never join you!" Wolfram's body trembled, silent tears rolling down his face like a river. "I can't do worse then this, ok?! I just can't. I have to. I have to kill you. It's the only way. It's the only way I can be free. You led me to this! Know that you put this on yourself!"
Hand's trembling, he put his finger on the trigger.
"Wolfram, stop. I still care about you, I l-"
A gunshot broke Michael off, along with a strangled screech as he crumbled to the ground, blood spattering across the grass.
The gun fell from Wolfram's hand as Michael fell still on the ground, blood pouring from the gunshots. Not just one, three, right to the heart.
Wolfram fell to his knees, burying his head in his hands as sobs over took him. "No, No! What have I done?!"

Toby froze as the gunshots echoed through the clearing, followed by Wolfram's sobs. He slowly turned around, and stared at the crumpled up figure at the bottom of the tree. He... he killed him? He stood there silently. He didn't know what to do, if he should continue to keep Mapleshade away, or if he should go to Wolfram.
Mapleshade.
Toby turned back around quickly. He had let his guard down by turning away from Mapleshade, and he knew he was probably going to pay for that decision.

Mapleshade didn't even notice Toby. She stared, shocked at the two crumbled figures under the tree. "Oh my God...." She whispered, frozen in shock.

"What, never seen a dead person before?" Toby snarled at her.

Alice stumbled away from Michael, Looking quizzically at Wolfram when he said for her to shoot anyone that moved, she didn't have a gun. She looked around at the group, it all seemed rather comical, despite the fact that everyone was waving guns around, no one was actually hurting anyone, just throwing threats around. As much as Wolfram hated this guy, he didn't seem able to pull the trigger. And the Pure didn't seem to be willing to shoot any of them, because they needed information.

Alice still had her back to them, she hadn't realized this guy was Wolfram's dad. She flinched with the three piercing gunshots, he.... he actually.... killed him? Killed his dad?! She couldn't turn around, she couldn't look, Wolfram's words cut in to her. But there wasn't time to think about what happened, the Pure had a reason to shoot them now. Alice ran at the dark-clad man nearest her and grabbed the end of his gun, some how pointing it away before he had a chance to shoot her. The blast making her ears ring. She punched him as hard as she could her fist slamming into the bottom of his chin, snapping his head back, he stumbled back dazed and she grabbed the hot barrel of the gun twisting it from his hand. She'd seen how they were used in movies, but never fired one herself. She instinctively pulled back the safety thing, pointing it at the man and firing. She hadn't expected the kick, it twisted her wrist, but that didn't matter, she felt his blood spray across her face, but that didn't matter either. Adrenaline drove her to find another target. Alice spun pulling the hammer back again. This time bracing her arm for the guns recoil.

"What, never seen a dead person before?" Toby snarled at her.

Wolfram pushed himself off the ground, staggering to his feet. He whirled around, firing a shot at anyone who came near. Sooner rather then later though, he ran out of bullets. He spun around, to see Mapleshade, grinning maliciously. She shoved him against a tree unexpectedly. "Where is the Key?!" She hissed, eye glittering with rage. "I don't have it....I don't know...I don't know!" He sobbed.
I just killed my father....I just killed my father....I'm a monster....I'm a MONSTER! I just killed my father!
"Just kill me, Mapleshade. Just....kill me."
He looked up as a screech ripped through the clearing, a masked man falling dead at Taylor's feet.
Only Mapleshade and two other men where still standing. "Retreat." Mapleshade suddenly ordered, backing away from Wolfram. "Get us the key, or your precious Lily and everyone you hold dear dies. That is a promise." She snarled, retreating back to the van.
Wolfram whimpered, sinking down to the ground.

Wolfram fell to his knees, burying his head in his hands as sobs over took him. "No, No! What have I done?!"

The gunshots caused River's heart to jump, her ears twitching madly. She tore her gave from Mapleshade, even though her mind screamed at her for doing so, and riveted her eyes upon Wolfram's sobbing form. Oh lord, I wish he wouldn't have been forced to do that. She blinked slowly, inching towards Wolfram. "I'm so--"

Wolfram whimpered, sinking down to the ground.

Something passed through River's abdomen, ripping like fire as it sank deep into her organs, obliterating all the flesh it touched. She gave off an odd yelp of pain, her face contorting as her nerves screamed their discomfort to her brain, blood spitting out of the wound, and her heart palpitating with adrenaline.
She wasn't sure if it was Wolfram's bullet or a masked man's that had torn through her, but she whirled, her gun firing off and its bullet embedding into a masked man's chest, killing him right as she dropped to her knees, gasping for breath. "That hurts a little..." She wheezed, blinking rapidly to clear the tears that were springing to her eyes.
She raised her gun once more, her hand shaking as she pulled the trigger, a bullet whizzing into the remaining man's arm, before she holstered her gun and pressing her hands against the gun shot wound, trying to apply presser. "I... Think this is gonna... Need a band-aid..."

Toby watched them retreat. "Cowards!" He snarled. He tossed the gun on the ground. "Is anyone hurt?" He asked, his voice softer than before. He noticed River's wound and jogged up to her. He pulled out a crystal and handed it to her. "Here. This will be better than a bandaid."

"River!" Wolfram let out a horrified yelp, shoving himself to his feet. He stumbled toward her, crouching beside her. He swore under his breath as blood welled on her clothes in dark red patches. He dug a crystal from his pocket. "Use this!" He snapped, voice edged with fear as he shoved the crystal toward her. He kept glancing behind him at Mapleshade, his pale hand trembling.
