Title: Behind Blue Eyes
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing and no recognizable characters from Hellboy. I am just a poor college student who also happens to be a rabid fan and this just happens to be a fanfiction that my mind came up with that I feel like sharing with other fans. I make absolutely NO money from this fanfic. It is merely for fun and hopefully the enjoyment of other fans. Please don't sue and fans please enjoy.
Note: I have never read any Hellboy comics. All I know about Hellboy is from the movies, both animated and live. Also my idea of the BPRD has many more characters within it so if you don't recognize someone it's probably because I made them up.
Chapter 1: Broken
Abe had been swimming in the sea, scouting the area for any unusual activity when the storm rolled in. It hit suddenly tossing Abe uncontrollably. Rain lashed down from the skies and the waters churned making it impossible to see. No matter how much Abe struggled he couldn't get away from the powerful rush of the ocean. A dark shore rose from the gray waves without warning. Abe watched as the sea crashed against those dangerous, rocky crags. He knew his death lay on those jagged rocks if he wasn't careful, but try as he might he couldn't get away for the grasp of the sea as it rushed him to his doom. A wave rose, carrying Abe with it. The world around him seemed to pause as Abe stared at the jagged shore not ten feet away. Then there was a great roar as the waves violently crashed forward. Abe hit the rocks hard. Pain engulfed him as he slammed into them sideways. He may have cried out but he didn't remember. Blood flowed as sharp edges bit though Abe's clothing and into his skin. With a jolt, he felt his ribs crack under the extreme pressure. He almost blacked out, but then the awful pressure was gone.
Shakily, Abe clung to the rocks as the sea receded. He almost lost his grip as the wave surged downward but grimly hung on. The water left him dangling in the air above the powerful rush of the sea. A glimmer of hope sparked in Abe's mind. Away from the waters grasp maybe he had a chance, but he knew if he didn't move before the next wave hit he would not survive. Through the agony and exhaustion, Abe forced himself to climb the rock face and away from the clutching fingers of the waves. Every gasp of air was torture. His side flared painfully with every movement and Abe knew he must have broken something, but he forced himself to go faster. The wave was coming. He had to move.
Abe made it, but barely. The spray licked at his feet as he hauled himself over the rock face and away from the edge. Now the angry crash of the ocean sounded far away. Hazily, Abe looked around numbly through the drizzle that pattered against his face. Pain and exhaustion were starting to work against him as darkness creped around the edges of his vision. He needed somewhere to rest. Somewhere away from the raging sea. Somewhere safe. Abe hauled himself up and almost fell again barely catching himself. Somewhere close...
Agony rolled over Abe with every step, every breath he took, but he stumbled on. His head hung tiredly downward as he trod through the wind and the rain barely aware he was still walking. Suddenly his feet were immersed in water again and he staggered back in fear. Was he at the sea again? Looking up, Abe's eyes found a calm, dark pool in front of him. In his exhaustion, Abe didn't think. He just slid into the cool water and let the darkness drag him downward.

Thank you for reading and PLEASE REVIEW. I promise that this is not a death fic. I am an extreme Abe fan and love him dearly even though I have been a little rough on him in this first chapter. Also, this is my first Hellboy fanfic so please be gentle. Thanks. (Don't forget to review!!!)
P.S. My chapter titles are mostly inspired by songs or lyrics within a song that I like (although sometimes inspired by other media like popular movies etc…)
