Current Location: The cabin

I did not understand why Shane called me for help. I did not trust him no matter is motives. And even if his father was trying to kill him, I did not see what that had to do with me. I did, however, agree to meet him for dinner the next night. After I picked up the kids we went home and had dinner. The rest of the night was uneventful, and we all went to bed rather early.

The next morning, I made the kids breakfast, gave Shane a kiss and headed to my office. I had a few hours before I was due to be at Amelia’s diner to meet Millie and I wanted to get things in order at work since I was due back Thursday. I told Shane I was going to be late, so he was on his own for dinner. When I got to my office the first thing, I did was check on which of my clients were due to come see me Thursday but the couple I did have for both Thursday and Friday rescheduled for next week therefor I did not have to come back until Monday unless a client called and asked for an emer

    Current Location: The hallway of the cabinEverything started moving super-fast and extremely slow at the same time. We all stealthily moved to the hallway where there were no windows. Kyle pulling Macs body along with us. It was a pointless effort though, anyone with eyes could see Mac was dead and there was no saving him. After we all took Shelter in the hallway Kyle slowly located the window the arrow came through. It turned out it was from the kitchen window, and with that line of site only Mac would have been visible. I quickly called Shane so I could warn him about what just happened and to keep the children away.Shane luckily was visiting his mother’s sister so he would not be back until around seven p.m. I did not tell him what had happened because I did not want to worry him prematurely. If he found out now, he would drop everything, and rush home and I wanted to make sure whoever was out there was dealt with first. I was startled by a knock at the front door and a man start

    Current Location: At a small café waiting for my mother to meet me for lunchI was early. I hated having to wait around it gave me too much time in my own head. I was already on my third cup of coffee. I could have waited around at the cabin, but I was too jittery to do so. I wound up showing up around an hour early to meet my mother and the conversation I had with Ruby yesterday kept running through my mind.“Ruby what are you talking about? I have not spoken to Shelly other than to confront her about Spencer being her brother.” Ruby snarled into the phone. “She claims you set me up at work that is why I now have criminal charges pending against me. Shelly also said the bachelorette party was all your doing and you hired the man to take those pictures of Derek and me!” I fanned ignorance, “What the fuck? Has she completely lost her mind? What type of sick and twisted shit does this chick think I am capable of? I swear Ruby I had nothing to do with any of it. I have been the one who h

    Current Location: My cabin in my bedroom waiting for Natasha to show up for dinnerWell, here we are dear reader. After what I write down here today you will be all caught up with everything that has happened so far. Moana is downstairs in the kitchen making a huge meal while I await Natasha’s arrival. I asked Moana to make all of Natasha’s favorite dishes she is in for a real treat tonight. And since I have to wait around, I will fill you in on what transpired today. Since Natasha is due to be here in about forty minutes or so I should have just enough time to jot down all the details of today.I woke up to an empty house. Shane told me last night he had to leave a bit early for work and Moana left a note saying she went ahead and took the kids to school for me so I could catch up on some much-needed rest. I was grateful, it was one less task for me to do today. I went into the bathroom to take a shower, I felt like I had not had one in ages. I was about halfway through with my showe

  • My Own Worst Enemy   Introduction number 2

    Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Natasha Greene, and I am Emma White’s best friend. She wrote enough about me that you probably already know who I am. I am sure you were expecting her to keep you up to date on what was going on in her life but sadly that is not possible. Emma and I have been best friends for all of our lives, and I would do anything for her. I came across this book she was writing and of course I read it all. I knew most of it already, yet it was a good refresher for me after everything that has happened. Emma’s last entry was a few weeks ago so I have much to catch you up on. I think Emma would have wanted me to continue writing for her since the problems with Ruby did not stop with just her. I am not as good at keeping track of locations like she is so there will be none of that with my entry’s, but I am sure you will be able to keep up with me either way. It came as a shock to me that Emma transferred so much money into my account. I was touched that sh

    I pulled up in front of the cabin that Emma now resided in. It was beautiful. There were so many different flowers surrounding the property. Roses, tulips, sun flowers, and lily’s all in different colors. They complimented the light tans and red of the cabin. I could stay outside staring at this scene all day. I waited a few more minutes taking in the scenery before exiting my Camaro and heading to Emma’s door. I knocked three times and waited. A woman I did not know answered the door. “You must be Miss Greene. Miss White has been expecting you. She should be down any minute. I am Moana if you need anything feel free to ask. Mr. Shane and his children are currently in the living room if you would like to join them.” I smiled politely thanked her and headed to the living room. Shane greeted me with a smile and a hug. “It is so good to see you, Natasha. It has been way to long. Thank you for joining us for dinner tonight. Emma could really use a good time after all she has been through

    We were all in shock at what Ruby just did. Molly started screaming and Austin ran from the room. It looked as though Emma was rushing over to Shane, but she went behind him. It was only than that I noticed Carter lying on the floor covered in blood. “What the fuck did you do Ruby? You stupid bitch! You shot Carter. How could you come into the place your children are at and open fire?” Emma screamed at Ruby.Ruby was looking between Shane and her son in horror. Shane was alive and clutching on to his hip where the bullet struck him. Upon hearing what Emma said Shane lashed out in anger at Ruby. “Attacking me is one thing, but that is your son Ruby! Why would you do this. MOANA call an ambulance.” Ruby whistled and a man came in out of nowhere. “Whoever else is in this house needs to be contained. Please be gentle with my children, they are innocent in all this. Do not let them call for help got it!” The man nodded to Ruby and disappeared as quickly as he arrived.I tried to reason wit

    A few hours later I was sitting in the waiting room of Central Union hospital awaiting on a Dr. Marsh to tell me the status of Emma’s condition. Kyle’s men cleared out from the cabin, and I called the police to report Carters death and who was behind it. Kyle and his men took the bodies of Rubys falling men I did not ask what they planned to do with them. I did not want to know, and I made sure to leave them out of my report to the police. The police department had ordered a city-wide man hunt on Ruby. Wherever she escaped to she would not be safe for long. That did not matter to me at the moment. The only thing I cared about was weather Emma was going to be okay or not. I sat there counting the tiles on the hospital walls just so my mind was not idle, and it would not go on a downward spiral of worry for the woman who I considered a sister. When the doctor finally came out, he had a grim look on his face. “Please Dr. Marsh do not sugar coat it how bad is it.” He gave me a reassurin

    I started packing the kids’ belongings to move to the new house. There was not much clothing but there was an abundance of toys. This had to be Emma’s doing. When that girl shops she can not help herself from over doing it. I had just finished packing up the minivan Kyle lent me. Let’s face it a Camaro could not hold the three of us and all this stuff. I will miss using my car, but it is worth the sacrifice to keep these kids safe. I had just enough time to drop the children and Moana off at the new house before I was due to meet Kenny for dinner.I was not sure who he was, and I was a little skeptical of his motives for wanting to meet. But if he could possibly help me track down Ruby it would be well worth it. I decided while I was in the hospital awaiting Emma’s results, they I will do everything in my power to finish what she started. I even thought about making a new bank account in Ruby’s name and sending the embezzled funs to it, but I know that is not what Emma would have want

    Three months later“Mother can you stop trying to make today all about you for god sakes it is my wedding day not yours.” I said to my mother for about the fifteenth time in the last five minutes. I was already nervous as all hell about doing this in the first place and as usual my mother was making everything worse. “Emma, I am not trying to make this about me. I was just saying how ignorant it is for my date to cancel last minute. It is just so messed up I deserve better than this.” My mother said with a scornful tone. I just sighed shaking my head knowing I couldn’t stop her from being the selfish creature she is.“Come on Miss White they are ready for you outside.” Natasha said scooting my mother out the door. I gave her a thankful look and went back to trying to calm myself down. Natasha walked over to me and put her hand on the small of my back. “It is going to be okay Emma. I know marriage makes your skin crawl, but you love Shane, and he really loves you. I don’t think I have

    After I jumped on Ruby’s back everything seemed to be moving in slow motion but at the same time it felt like everything was sped up. I know, I know that seems really confusing, but it was like the world around me was one big blur of movement while it seemed to take me a lifetime to knock her to the ground though my guess is it took mere seconds.Three things happened simultaneously. Ruby fell, her gun went off, and I knew someone had been shot because I was now covered in red specks of blood all over my arms and I could feel them on my face as well. The smell of rust and salt invaded my nostril and made me feel queasy. I couldn’t let it get to me however or Ruby might wind up with the upper hand.I struggled to grab her arms and pull them behind her back. For a small chick she was stronger than she looked, not to mention I just had surgery and my incision from the c-section hurt immensely. Finally, someone noticed how much trouble I was having and came over and kicked Ruby square in

    I knew I had to start talking to Ruby to try and distract her so Kyle could sneak up on her and take her out. “I am really glad you find your psychotic ways so amusing. I mean someone has to think you will get out of this unscathed and why not let it be yourself. After all you have been through so much in these past few months. You lost Shane to a better woman, you murdered your own child, lost your second family, destroyed your career, and so much more but hey at least you can stand there with a grin on your face and be completely content!”Ruby’s face turned into a scowl I guess she didn’t like her short comings being thrown in her face. That was good I wanted to piss her off, so all her focus was on me. She didn’t even seem to realize as I was talking that Shane, Tony, and Natasha started slowly moving away from each other and their current position to situate themselves around her so we could cover her in a five point angle. Ruby stood there momentarily at a loss of what to say to

    Emma:“I know what you are going to say Kyle, but we have to go out there. After all we both know she is here for me, and I am afraid of what she will do if I don’t show up.” I said to Kyle trying to convince him how important this decision was. Kyle sighed and turned his head towards me. “I know you are right but that does not mean I have to like it. The only way I will be comfortable with allowing you to go out there is if you stay behind me understood?”I shook my head at Kyle in disbelief. “You know as well as I do that will not work. She will kill you without a second thought to get to me. Look I have a better idea. I know she is going to talk my ear off before she does anything at all. I want you to go back up these stairs to the second floor and make your way to the other staircase. Once there come back down to this level and come in through the other entrance. My cousin’s eyes will be on me, and she will not see you sneaking up on her. What do you think?”Kyle told me that was

    We all began yelling at detective Morris that he just shot Detective Wilcox. “No, no, no! I did not mean it. Jennifer, please tell me you are ok. Jennifer, please answer me!” Detective Morris screamed out in desperation. I called out and said I was going to crawl over and check on her. He gave me the go ahead and I slowly began crawling over to Jennifer being cautious as to not make the detective trigger happy again.When I made my way over to her I first checked her pulse and looked for where she had been hit. “She is unconscious and has a very thready pulse. You struck her once in the chest and once in the torso. You need to get someone in here now to get her and Emma to the hospital. We also have a third person who is injured. He got struck with shrapnel when the explosion happened out the back door.” I said hoping he would understand how urgent this matter was.“Officer down, I repeat officer down. We need two more ambulances aside for the one for Detective Wilcox we have two civi

    Of course, it would be her. Who else is psychotic enough to start a shooting rampage through a fucking hospital. I was positive she knew I was here, and she was looking for me. “Kyle, can you see anyone else out there?” I asked not really wanting to know the answer but knowing I had to. Kyle moved his head as far left as he could while still being able to see out of the small rectangular window. “There are a few people lying on the floor. It does not appear that anyone is hurt. Ruby is out there pointing the gun at people and yelling but I can not hear her through the door. Holy shit! This is so fucked. Miss Emma, I do not want to alarm you, but Shane Tony and Natasha are out there!Natasha:Hello again dear reader. I know I said you would not be hearing from me again, however when I wrote that we thought everything was coming to an end and that I would not have anything to tell you that Emma could not. We were very wrong on that front seeing as while Ruby came into the hospital firin

    Kyle and I took an immediate left and half walked have sprinted down to the elevators. Not surprising they were turned off. It makes sense that they would deactivate them with an active shooter on the premises. It Would be harder for them to get to a different floor. We headed over to the door for the stairs and headed through. Neither of us knew exactually which floor the NICU was on, so we decided to go to the highest level and work our way down. Along the way we stopped so Kyle could smash the glass on the fire ax box that was in each stairwell. He took the ax and led us the rest of the way up the steps. We went through the access door once we reach the top and walked through. We found ourselves in a hallway with doors every six feet or so on each side. I walked up to one of them an read the plaque on the wall. “LAB NUMBER THREE: REASEARCH AND DEVELEPOMENT”. Since the entire hall had these same type of rooms, we decided this was the wrong floor and there were no patients up here, s

    Dr. Marsh and i exchanged looks before he told me to go lock myself in the bathroom. like that was going to fucking happen! There was currently someone inside the hospital shooting at people or something of that nature. There was no way i was going to stay here like a sitting duck. I sat up and slid off the bed. I located a bag in one of the chairs with my cell phone, socks, and shoes. I pulled out and put on the socks and shoes than I tried calling Shane. The phone just went to voicemail. The same thing when I called Natasha than Tony. I figured I would try calling Kyle even though I knew it was a long shot since he just had surgery. I was very surprised when he answered on the second ring in a very hushed voice. “Miss Emma! You are okay! Thank the Gods. I would ask about the babies and your health but right now we got a problem. Did you hear those gun shots and those people yelling?” Kyle asked me in one breath. I rolled my eyes and said, “Of course I heard it. I’m in the surgery w

    My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
