"Kevin…" He asks…
"Yeah, this is Kevin."
"What's up?" Ben asks…
"I called to see how you two are doing; Gwen isn't answering her cell phone."
"Yeah Kevin, she's fine…"
"Can I talk to her?"
"Let me see if I can find her?"
Gwen is standing next to Ben and doesn't want to talk to Kevin right now…
"I'm not here, I'm in the shower." She mouths to him…
"Sorry Kev, she's in the shower."
"That's fine; can you have her call me when she has a minute?" He asks with a slight hint of anger and frustration in his voice.
"Will do" Ben responds…
"Thanks see ya around."
"Ok, Bye." Ben says…
Ben hangs up the phone and looks at Gwen…
"Thanks Ben." She tells him because she is not in the mood to talk to him.
Gwen embraces Ben and catches him off guard…
"No problem" Ben responds…
He returns the embrace and after a little while…
"Ben, lets go inside, it's freezing out here" Gwen says…
"Ok" Ben says and they reluctantly release from their embrace and head inside…
Ben opens the door and turns on the lights. As soon as he turns the switch on he hears Gwen scream behind him and when he turns to look… CRACK!! Someone knocks Ben out with a crowbar.
"BEEEENNN!!!!!!" Gwen yells and runs to Ben's side.
She kneels down next to him and forgets about everything but her beloved cousin and best friend. She doesn't even realize that the man who knocked Ben out is standing over her.
"Well well, who do we have here?" he asks…
"You're worst fucking nightmare!" she screams and lunges at him…
He grabs her and throws her to the ground…
"Don't get up and you and you're boyfriend will live, all we want is money." He yells at her…
"I have something better for you, you little bastard…" She says as her eyes flash green and she lunges at him again and wraps a tendril around his neck…
The other robber is shocked and after a few seconds of staring at this strange girl, he goes to draw his gun but Gwen grabs the gun and slams it in his face with another tendril.
She picks them both up and slams them into a wall. Then she remembers Ben and runs to his side
"Ben…Ben?" Gwen asks while she is shaking Ben…
Both robbers seize their opportunity and run out of the house screaming and get in their truck and drive off.
Ben doesn't respond and Gwen checks his vitals and he is alive. Ben is knocked out and Gwen manages to carry him up to their bedroom and lays him on the bed. Gwen is exhausted but wants to wait for Ben to wake up before she goes to sleep. She lies there for a long time with one arm around Ben and the other stroking his hair. After an hour or so Ben opens his eyes…
"Gwen...?"
I have to get some sleep, so hope this will do til' I can update again.
