Hiden in the Wings

By: Samantha Reynolds

Its real late at night, and Sam and Shadow had just put their children to bed. They decided that it was time for them to head to bed too. They knew that they had a long day ahead of them in the morning so they figured that it would not hurt to lay down and rest a while since the children were asleep in their own rooms now. The happy couple walked to their room hand in hand while staring into each others eyes not able to stop staring at one another. Shadow said three simple words to Sam that he knew she loved to hear every day. "I love you." Of course it is usual for Sam to reply back to him with the same words that he also loves to hear every day. "I love you too." The early morning sky is creeping up on them very quickly. Several minutes later, the happy couple finally dosed off into a somber sleep with one another right there with them.

The morning sky is just now arising when the happy couples children jump up out of bed and run into their room and wake them up. It means that it is time for mom and dad to get up and fix breakfast. Even though they may not want to get up just yet, the happy couple knew that they had to get up just because if they didn't, they children would keep bugging them all morning until they got up and made them breakfast. As breakfast was being made, the children would always sit in the living room watching cartoons on tv. It was never unusual to also hear a few arguments from them too because they could decide what to watch on tv. One child wanted to watch one thing while the other one wanted to watch another thing. You could never get the children to agree on something at all.

Just before breakfast is done, Damian and Test walk in the front doors while holding their beautiful wifes hands. They always thought that they should visit just to make sure that Sam, Shadow and the children were up. Each and every morning, they knew that it was breakfast time, so they would take a seat at the breakfast table and eat with the happy family too. It's just like they all dream of, everyone eating together at the kitchen table. Everyone was very hungry this morning for some odd reason. Sam and Shadow just stared at each other in confusion when Test and Damian said something that they were not aware of. Sam was not sure what was really going on at all. For the past few days, Sam has not been aware of much at all. She has mainly been focusing on her family.

After dinner ended, Sam and Shadow got up did the dishes while Test, Damian and the twins walked off to the living room to watch cartoons. It was always typical for the twins to want to watch cartoons right after breakfast. The morning was going by very slowly today because Sam and Shadow knew that they had a long list of things to do and that they only had a certain amount of time to get it done by. About 10 minutes after the twins and Test and Damian went into the living room, the door bell rang. Sam and Shadow were curious on who is at the door.

"One of you two can get the door, we are busy in here." Test yelled out at the happy couple in the kitchen. He didn't really think about it.

"I'll get it, of course you could get up and get it for us, but o well." Sam called out so that they could hear her as she threw the dish towel onto the counter.

Sam walked to answer the door and when she answered the door, there were a large group of men standing right in front of her. One of the men grabbed her very roughly and didn't give her a chance to run. She let out an extremely loud scream so that everyone could hear her scream in the house. Shadow ran quickly into the living and saw that there were several men at the door and that one of the men had grabbed Sam and had a knife at her neck.

"NO!!!! LEAVE MY WIFE ALONE NOW!!!!" Shadow yelled it at the top of his lungs as he lunged at one of the men with a kitchen knife in his hand.

One of the men grabbed Shadows arm and threw him to the ground. All of the men pulled out their shot guns and shot him in the chest. He fell to the ground. The men then took advantage of Shadow's wife and their was nothing he could do but lay their bleeding to death and watch her be raped by the men. Sam was screaming at the top of her lungs hoping that Test or Damian would hear her and come help her and Shadow. She could really careless about herself at this moment because she did not want to loose Shadow at all.

Seconds after Sam had screamed, Test had come running into the room and saw her and Shadow laying on the ground. The men shot Sam as well when they were finished raping her. Test quickly ran to Shadow and Sam and yelled for Damian to come and help him out. Damian ran into the room as quickly as he could. He looked down at where Test was at and saw why he was called into the room. Damian quickly ran to Shadow and tried stopping the blood.

"What happen? Why are Sam and Shadow bleeding everywhere?" Damian asked Test while he kept trying to stop Shadows bleeding. Test was doing the same to Sam.

Test was not even sure of what happened at this moment but he knew that he had an idea of what happened. He didn't want to say because he knew that he could be wrong. He didn't even know if he was thinking right at this moment. He decided that Damian and him should stay here and try to keep the two of them from bleeding to death. He knew that the twins would be totally upset. Test yelled for his beautiful wife Tosh.

"What's wrong my love?" Tosh asked Test this as she quickly came running into the room and then looked down at Test and Damian and was in major shock. "O…Oh… This isn't a good thing. What do you need me to do?" She could finally finish he words.

"I need for you to call 911 ASAP. Its in great need at this moment and Damian and I can't even get up and call because if we even stop trying to stop the bleeding in them, they could bleed to death…Please hurry my love." Test spoke as quickly as he could really only keeping his mind on trying to get the bleeding in Sam to stop as was Damian trying to stop the bleeding in Shadow.

Tosh ran off to the kitchen and dialed the number and spoke to the operator on the other line. She was not sure what to tell the operator when he asked of what happened so she just told him what had happened to what she saw. She also asked Clara to keep the twins in the living room because she didn't want them to see what has happened to their parents. The twins are only two years old when their parents have been shot and are on the line of death. Clara did keep the twins in the living room even when the paramedics came to escort Sam and Shadow to the hospital.

Everything goes black. The couple are both loosing a lot of blood and are not responding to everything. The paramedics kept trying to bring them back with CPR and all. There was now not much they could do but rush them to the hospital before it was too long.

Everything grows black…
