The Rainbow After the Storm (Heavy Rain RP.)

[GBHORROR]

Madison curled up in bed, but she already knew she was getting no sleep. She was lucky to have before, honestly..but she knew her insomnia was creeping back up on her, now. She simply laid there, staring at the snow falling out of the window.

GB stared up at the bridge, wondering if he'd make it in time. She looked around nervously. If she shone her phone around in the air, then maybe..? She began doing just that.

Norman's eyes flickered when he was a phone flashing in the air. Yep. Same bridge. Norman pulled off on the side of the road and stopped the car, checking his gun again. Making sure the magazine and barrels were full and the sorts. He took a deep breath and bursted out of the car. "Freeze, FBI!" He screamed, pointing his gun in every direction. He then saw Graybay, and jogged over to her, gun still in hand and poised. "Graybay...God, are you alright?"

[GBHORROR]

Graybay glanced up at him from her position on the ground, lowering the phone to her side with a gentle, yet pained smile. "Norman.." she said quietly. Weakly.
The area definitely looked like a crime scene, that was for sure.
There were small puddles of crimson liquid in the field, a quite large puddle under the redheaded girl, and Graybay herself..
Her chest and stomach were riddled with bullet holes; the real color of her shirt was barely identifiable at this point. She laughed slightly, even that simple action bringing blood to her lips. "I don't think your gun can do much to me now.." she said, her voice becoming a little watery.
She pulled the ARI out of her hoodie pocket. The were destroyed, of course, and at this point her bottom lip began to quiver. "I..I tried..I tried to get 'em back to you an-and," she began to shake with sobs, real sobs, not just for attention this time. She held them up for him to take. "T-they're no good..no good now.." she said, sniffling as more tears made their way down her face.

[LadyGalleth]

(( WTH!!!!!! :CRY: ))

Norman looked over at the ARI in her hand before slapping it away. "Graybay...no...no, what happened?" he mumbled, pulling her close to him. No. No she can't die, she couldn't. How could this be happening? "No..." was all he could whimper. He pulled her closer to him again and gently began rocking her back and forth. "Sh, sh. You're gonna be alright. It'll all be alright, Grayce. " He slowly could feel tears pull at his eyes. "Don't...you'll be alright," he said, pulling her up for a hug. "Don't cry, sweetie. Don't...save your energy." He wiped the tears from her eyes and hung his head. "Who did this to you?" He asked sternly, fire swelling in his eyes. "Who...did this to you?" He asked again, almost in a yell. Jayden gently looked at the ARI again before picking them up and placing them over her tired eyes. "It's gonna be alright...I promise," Norman whimpered again through tears. "Dream, Graybay...relax and dream. Sh," he looked down at her with tear filled eyes. How could this have happened? It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair. A sweet 18 year old girl like her being drug into a mess such as this? No...it wasn't humanly possible, wasn't even humanly feasible to think of. Who did this to her? He desperately wanted to find out, wanted to scream...but what good would that do?

Norman smiled down at her again, happy that he could finally show her the wonders of the ARI, what little was left. He winced again, looking around into the dark night. What happened? There was blood everywhere. "Graybay...."

[GBHORROR]

The small girl's frame was now wracked with sobs to the point where she could barely speak. She was limp and cold as ice, and she simply allowed herself to be pulled into Norman's lap. She barely had any control of her own movements, now. She stilled for a few moments before slipping the glasses off of her face as gently as her weakened body would allow. "Norman," she began, her voice shaking. Telling him this would hurt her more than a million bullets ever could hope to. "I need to tell you the truth," she practically gasped out, crying once more. "I'm so sorry," she began suddenly, crying moreso for her words than any pain she felt. "I'm so, so sorry. I d-didn't mean for-for all this t-to happen. I've been placing those..those orig-origamis!" she said, sobbing. "I worked for him c-cause I thought I..I thought I loved him, an-and..b-but.." she stopped for a few moments, trying to regain her composure so she could talk. "I knew the wreck would happen and it was all my fault I didn't tell anyone and everything has been because of me because I listened to him and-and-" she stopped once more, gasping for air as she cried. "B-but I didn't love him, I started to like..well, I liked you a-and I know it don't matter cause you have a g-girlfriend but that's why I tried to stop a-and he.." she stopped completely, her head lolling back. "I'm sorry," she said, barely having the energy to sob so heavily now.

"Graybay...." Norman could feel a few tears of his own slip out. "It's ok...it's alright," He began, looking at the shoved off glasses. "Graybay....I forgive you. It's not your fault, alright?" He placed her in his lap again and gently rocked her again. "Sh, sh. You need to calm down...please, Graybay. It's alright." He clutched her hands and gently kissed them. "I'll get whoever it is who did this...I promise you, I will." He said gently, hugging her again. "Please..." He glanced down at her stomach. They were deep. Oh, God. How could this happen? How could this really be happening right now at this very moment? It was like a dream. "Graybay...it's alright. I promise you...everything is alright. You're ok, you know that? You're actually a lovely girl who's life was ahead of her. I promise I'll help you...any way I possibly can," Norman nodded, holding her close to his face. "You're alright...I swear. I promise, I promise," he whispered gently, placing his gun down on the grass. She needed to stay warm. He wrapped his arms around her again, feeling himself cry.

[GBHORROR]

Was.
Her life was ahead of her. It was going to be ahead of her, before..the realization hit her like a ton of bricks; this was it, this was how her life would end. "I..I tried to fight him, but he had a gun.." she trailed off. Hearing her own voice fade scared her; no hearing her life physically fade from her body terrified her. The tears were dried on her face. She couldn't find it in her to cry now. She stared up at the sky. Snow..it was snowing. She briefly remembered the time she had asked Blake if it ever snowed here. She wondered if she'd ever see it.
..Well, now she was seeing it. She held up her hand weakly, watching as the snow melted as it landed on her red-stained fingertips. So much red. "It's snowing," she remarked, her voice practically a whisper now. As soon as the words left her mouth, she began to cough violently, staining the ground that was turning white near them red like everything else around her was. And, just like that, the life faded from her eyes. She went still, forever.
But at least she got to see snow. She told the truth.

[LadyGalleth]

(( You...are terrible. ))

Norman smiled, looking up when she looked up. "Yeah," his voice was wavering. "Snow, Grayce. It's snowin'. " He smiled through his tears as he looked down again, seeing the young girl in his arms fade. No. "No..." He desperately wanted to save her, to bring her back. But, for the life of him, he knew he couldn't. No. He glanced down again to see her looking up, cold lifeless eyes staring into the void of the sky. Jayden hung his head and looked down at her, shutting her eyes and sobbing. Why? Why did it have to happen? An 18 year old girl who had barely begun to live died right in his arms. He frowned again and sobbed. After a while, he got up, placing the young girl's head on the snow in front of him, and stood up. She was no longer Graybay or Grayce. Norman would call her what she truly was. A young girl. A girl who had gone way too soon, to say the least. Jayden stopped and wiped his face again, reaching for his gun. He crunched around in the snow, stepping and smashing the ARI in the process. Jayden reached for his phone to dial Zayden and Blake. "Hendrix?" He asked, voice wavering again. "It's Jayden. Listen, I need you to come down here. I'm b the bridge where Ethan had his accident. Hurry, please....and bring some blankets."

[GBHORROR]

Her hand fell limp to the ground beside her, and sitting inside of it was something not even she had noticed in her hand. An origami dog fell out into the snow, and on one of the folds, it read:
Grayce Elizabeth Baye - loyal, like the dog

Zayden snapped awake, asleep on the couch, in his clothing once again nonetheless. He looked over at his phone..gosh, what time was it? Last time someone called him and woke him up he knew it was at least day, but..
He reached for the cellphone, squinting at the caller ID. Eh, it was no use. It was too bright for his eyes to be able to adjust to see it. He flipped the phone open. "Uh, hey." he said groggily. He looked confused, though of course Norman couldn't see it. "..Blankets..? Jayden, I..? I'll be there in a few.." he said, shutting the phone closed and yawning. He got up and hurriedly grabbed a few blankets, glancing at the clock.
4:30 AM
He raised his eyebrows and began to hurry even more now, throwing a coat on and heading outside to his car. He then got on the road.

[LadyGalleth]

(( As excepting as ever, that Zayden! ))

Norman crinkled his eyebrows. How long would it take for everyone to get there? Surely not long. He could feel his breath blow out as it crystalized in the frozen air. He couldn't bare to look at her. He couldn't bare to watch a felon take place. He stared back out at the snow, resifting his feet and blowing into his hands. He rose an eyebrow and cussed under his breath, hoping everyone would get there soon. He would have to explain to everyone what happened, though he thought it was pretty evident. He was covered in blood, the ground was covered in blood.
