 "Do NOT," Felix said sharply, snapping her head in Daren's direction, "Try to place the blame away from yourself for being so trigger happy. No matter what happened, in the end it was YOUR gun that went off...," Too angry, frightened, and confused to finish berating the man rationally, Felix bent over the small girl protectively, biting her lip against the oncoming tears. "DON'T TOUCH HER!!" she practically screamed, snatching the fabric away from the man. "B-Bella's going to be just...fine...," she lied mostly to herself...not even sure if her friend could even respond. All she saw was a body and snow covered in blood, that she wasn't even sure was Bella's. Not able to accurately assess Bella's wounds, Felix stared at the girl's face intently, trying to snap herself back to reality, but the harder she looked, the more her friend transformed into her older brother's tortured body.
Snap out of it! Felix said to herself over and over again, shutting her eyes tight and clenching her fists. However, as soon as she opened them, she saw her brother's corpse again, lying on the cold stone floor of his kidnapper's basement. Shaking violently, she stared at her hands that were no longer holding a helping man's fabric...but stained with blood. Stifiling a scream, Felix slammed her hands on what she thought was the concrete, but instead plunged them deep into the surrounding snow.
Being hit with the sudden cold, seemed to snap her out of it. Immediately locking on to the man who shot her friend, Felix glared at him through her pink rims. "I PROMISE you," Felix said icily, "Bella's pain is only a tenth of what I will make you go through!"

 Bella heard a shot fire and felt Daren grab at her leg, twisting her body around. Before she could take in what had happened, a searing hot pain pierced at her by her right kidney. The coldness that had penetrated through her now wet clothes was accentuated by the warmness that grew in that area. Looking down, Bella saw blood dripping down into the snow, 'Mine...?' The pain was overcoming her sense and she lost feeling in her body as she dropped to the ground.
Upon hearing Kyrin's voice and opening eyes of light purple, Izzy whimpered, saying softly, "Ky... it hurts..." Izzy's mind was reeling, 'What's happening? Why does it hurt? I dont understand'

Draven let out a grunt as the gun slammed heavily into the back of his head. Everything at first went red, but with the assistance of the frigid cold Draven easily let himself slip from conciseness. As the blackness crept in on his vision he looked at Bella, tears coming to his eyes as he saw the red droplets in the snow. The last thing he saw was white.
[Flashback~Whoo..]
“Daddy, where are you going?” the young boy asked his father; the boy seemed to be about eight or nine. Tears streamed freely down the Childs face. An aged man looked at the boy his eyes pools of disgust.
“Look at you. You are a weakling! Pathetic, get away!” the man said, his voice full of scorn
“But Daddy…” the whimpering voice replied

 As Daren tore his jacket, Ky held his eyes as well, “If you hadn’t pointed your gun at her, she wouldn’t have felt the need to protect herself!” She was about to yell at him more, but when she heard Izzy’s voice, she felt tears begin to come to her eyes. Trying to regain her composure, she glared at Daren, and snatched the squares away from him, “You’d better not try anything funny or I will have you killed so fast that you won’t have a chance to think.” This threat she actually meant, unlike the one before.
Keeping the gun easily accessible, she spun and dropped to her knees, “Izzy…” She said sadly. She did as Daren had instructed, saying, “You’ll be okay…we’ll get you all fixed up.”

Mikel sighed happily, closing the leather bound book that he held in his lap. What a great ending! he sighed to himself, as he wiggled in the back seated to look out the back window of the limousine he was riding in. The morning was going splendidly, he had managed to fanagle his way out of going to another one of her akward extravagant 'get togethers', had finished a great book, and was now moments away from spending a few weeks of quiet solitude at his aunts' mansion. Considering all I have to deal with is a few hugs and tackles from Aunt Kyrin and Felix, I think it's a good trade! Mikel thought to himself.
"Here we are sir," the driver announced as a large mansion came into view. Mikel propped his head out immediately, practically tasting all the hot chocolate he'd be able to drink. However, as they were getting ready to pull up into the main entrance, something caught Mikel's eye. "Wait!" Mikel said quickly, wiping some brown hair away from his hazel eyes, "There's something up ahead...could you drive a little further?"
"Of course, sir" the driver smiled, turning the large car over to the group of people arguing outside the neighboring house. However, Mikel's heart dropped, as he saw his aunt's holding up a bloody form, that he soon made out to be Izzy. "S-stop...the car...," Mikel whispered, practically inaudibly.
The limo screeched to a hault, a Mikel dashed out into the snow to analyze the situation. Without even bothering to say "hello", Mikel dropped down in the snow next to Izzy, and quickly checked her vital signs. "Get her inside,"Mikel murmered, running his hand lightly around the wound sight. "Put her on the kitchen table, and get plently of hot water...I'll meet you there, and handle the rest."
Mikel looked up at Felix and Kyrin, after a moment. "Well,get moving!" he said, a little astounded that he sounded so stern.

Seeing Mikel, Kyrin was more hopeful, he always had perfect timing. [Sadly, she had no time to greet the boy.] It took all the strength she had to lift Izzy's body, as the girl was the verge of unconsciousness. "Felix, you watch them." She said, meaning Draven and Daren. Ky hauled Izzy in the mansion as quickly as she could manage.
Once inside, Ky was out of breath. She put Izzy's body on the table, and went for hot water. Her mind was racing, and she had just about forgotten all about the encounter outside. As her heart pounded in her ears, she found herself fumbling with the bucket of water she had gotten.

Izzy faded in and out of consciousness, noticing that one moment she was outside, with the cold snow beneath her, and the next she was laying on something very solid. Feeling pressure around her wound, Izzy whined, "No..." as the room brightened with each stab of pain that shot through her.
Somewhere in the distance, Izzy thought she heard Mikel's voice but she wasnt quite sure. She hoped it was Mikel. She hadnt seen him in a long time and he would be able to make the pain go away.

Mikel watched Kyrin carry Izzy to the mansion only for a few moments, before dashing back to the limo. Not bothering to explain the situation to his driver, Mikel jumped into the backseat and grabbed his black leather bag of medical tools. Still inside the limo, Mikel quickly tapped his body guard and colleague on the shoulder. I'm going to need some assistance with this one. Mikel said with his eyes. The large man nodded in reply, and climbed outside of the vehicle as Mikel headed toward the mansion. "The master will call when he needs you," the large man said with a deep voice that sounded like gravel. Shuddering a bit, the driver nodded, and drove away for the time being.
Deciding not to wait for his partner, Mikel marched inside the mansion, not caring that his boots were making muddy snow tracks all over the hall. Following the trail of blood, Mikel quickly located Izzy's body upon a wooden table. Climbing ontop of nearby chair in order to see the situation better, Mikel set down his leather bag and prepared to commence with the operation. Turning only slightly, as he heard his body guard's footsteps, Mikel mechanically tore open Izzy's dress."She's lost a lot of blood," Mikel murmered, but stopped short of his out loud analysis, as he finally noticed Kyrin standing in front of him, with a hot bucket of water.
"Why don't you see how Auntie Felix is doing?" Mikel smiled, motioning for his assistant to take the water away from Kyrin's shaking hands, fearing that she would spill and burn herself. "Izzy is in good hands...just...wait outside."

Daren sat back, visibly shivering, glancing over to his unconscious friend he tossed his soaking jacket over the prone form of Draven and began to hug himself and rub his shoulders, trying to keep some sort of warmth in his bones.
He could feel it, the cold; he was starting to go numb and probably had been frostbitten all over and if not yet then he would soon. That was the least of his worry’s though, it was how soon the hypothermia would set in along side would the woman he shot be alright?
Rocking back and forth he knew that he didn’t have the strength to get up and keep warm despite how much he wanted to. It wasn’t quite that he couldn’t get up actually, it was the fact that his body wouldn’t let him. Either way he hoped they at least brought them inside soon because he could feel that he was now shaking quite badly. His joints were stiff and reluctant to move, his lips were a deep blue and it was likely that his heart would or could soon stop.
Gritting his teeth against the cold and his almost locked joints he slowly forced himself up and moved over to his friend Draven, lifting him off the ground with a large amount of effort due to the harsh conditions. As he began to walk over to the mansion he grunted in effort with every step but was soon inside the warmth of the mansion. He didn’t care if they shot him now or told him to go back outside, him and Draven would probably soon die either way.
Shutting the door behind him he tripped and fell to the floor with his friend causing a heavy thud. He didn’t have the strength to get back up again so instead did the next best thing he could think to do, remove his and Draven’s soaked and freezing clothes. It would take him a number of minutes just to get his pants and shoes off alone so they would probably be found before that with the thump that him hitting the ground had produced.

It only took Felix a few moments to get over the audacity Daren had to drag himself and his friend into the home of the very same victim he shot only a few minutes earlier. However, a gust a freezing wind was all it took to remind her of why the assailant was being so forward, if not desperate. Hugging her arms to herself, Felix trudged after the two angirly, too cold and frustrated to ensnare the two strangers in one of her traps.
O-once...I get...w-warm....Felix thought to herself bitterly, nearing the doorway, Th-those two are in SO much trouble!

 Though Mikel had ordered her out Kyrin stood in place, watching Izzy on the table. Ky was shaking visibly now, but it was not from the cold. Izzy is hurt and the only thing I’m doing is standing here!? She thought angrily. Coming back to her better senses, she slipped out of her jacket. Folding it quickly, she moved behind her friend and placed it under Izzy’s head. “You’re going to be okay, Izzy. You’re going to be okay.” Kyrin squeezed Izzy’s hand gently and whispered soothingly under her breath.
Sighing, Ky knew that Mikel would take good care of Isabella, and left for the front door. There she found Draven, still passed out, sprawled across the entry way. And Daren, who looked near unconscious himself, struggling with his shoes. Looking up at her cousin, Ky asked, “What shall we do with them?”

Draven let out a grunt of pain as he hit the floor and was jostled back in to consciousness just in time to hear Kyrin talk about him, which in turn reminded him of what she had just done. It send his blood boiling, for those next few moments his mind became singular, not only was she dishonorable enough to hit a man while his back was turned, but he was trying to help her friend.
With a grunt of effort, Draven slowly pushed himself up to his knees and swivled around to glare at Kyrin, his eyes were barely open and his body was covered in icicles. It seemed that only anger and the will to survive fuel Draven now, “Y-y-you…f-f-frien-“ was all his frozen lips could produce as he tried to make a step forwards and fell hopelessly to the floor.

Kyrin looked down at Draven and scowled, she would have had more sympathy for him if he hadn’t attacked her. Pulling wet bangs out of her eyes she felt the cold water seep into her shirt. At Draven’s pathetic display Ky muttered, “I put down my weapon, the least you could have done was keep your friend in check.” She wouldn’t have knocked him out if she hadn’t deemed him dangerous, which is what he’d come off as from the beginning. Turning her attention to Felix, she asked her question once again.
