Ashley couldn’t bear the pain anymore. The sun was coming up. She had no choice but to leave Spencer alone. She didn’t like the idea. But if she didn’t go then those idiotic vampires who raped and beat her would come after Spencer. Ashley thought about alll the diffrent ways she would kill them if they even touched a single hair on her head. With great elegance she crept out of the bed and clothed herself.  Then she opened the bedroom window and dropped down to the ground. She heard a sound in the bushes. Her senses told her to run in case it was a hunter or worse Aiden. But her senses weren’t working as well. She went towards the bushes. That’s when she realized to late the mistake she made.

Ashley woke up to a familiar scent. Her eyes were’nt open yet. She was still taking in the pain that she was now feeling. The gashes on her back were brutal but the bruises and scars on her stomach were burning……burning?

Ashley:"What the…"

Ashley felt something light being pulled off of her. The burning sensation was felt on her entire front.

Ashley:"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! DAMN IT!~!"

She tried to roll out of the sun but when she did she just hit the side of a cage. Desperately she sat up the best she could out of the sunshine. The little shadow that the steel cage had was in a corner. Ashley looked around the room. It was completely empty. There was one huge window with no blinds or curtains. The steel cage Ashley was in was set on the far side of the room. A door next to the window opened. Reveiling a fairly short angry women.

Madison:"So Ashley. Like your cage?"

Ashley:"….cough…cough…you…"

Madison:"What? Poor Spencer couldn’t save you. Ya see. Aiden and I
are way to smart to let her let you
live. face it Ashley. No one wants you
alive. Not your sister,not your friends,
not even your girlfriend."

Ashley:"She’d…*cough*..never do that."

Ashley choked out her words. She was weak. The last time she ate was days ago. If the rising sun didn’t kill her,then her starvation would.

Madison:"Hungry? Maybe you should’ve
thought about that before you decided
to raise up the vampire count and kill my parents."

Ashley:"I…didn’t.."

Madison:"didn’t know? You know what?
I should just push your little cage
towards the window so I can watch
you burn to death. You deserve it. All those lives you took."

Ashley:"…Spencer…"

Madison:"Spencer isn’t coming. She
practicaly handed you over to me. The police know Ashley. Ren and Torak are dead. All your other vampire roomies are dead too.  Spencer thought it best if I waited for you while you made your window escape."

Ashley:"…Go..to…Hell…"

Madison:"Well. You’ll be seeing what
that is like in a few minutes. Or
until you decide that your position is
to uncomfortable to stay in the corner
for long."

Ashley felt terrible pain in her back.
She resisted the urge to make a noise.

Madison:"In case you were wondering.
The sun should cover every inch of this
room at around 11:30. You have thirty
minutes left to live. Enjoy."

Ashley watched as Madison walked to
the exit. Before she left she said
some last words.

Madison:"In case of rain. My suitcase
is full of things for torture. Just for
you. So if you don’t want to take that
chance I suggest you just roll out
into the sun now."

Ashley closed her eyes as the slam of the door echoed throgh the room.
She didn’t know what to do. What good
was it to cry? Spencer thought she was
dead. Her world was done. What good
was it to live?
