Chapter 4

"Shadow must be in misery." Terra begun, whipping the blood off her face.

"What are you-" Ash started when a flash of lightning nearly touching the ground, rain started poring down from the light blue sky with grey clouds, they all jumped back except for Ash and Terra. Ash's eyes set on his target, a blond hair, sea green eyes a slit of her cheek bleeding, "As I was saying, what are you talking about? Shadow's dead." As Ash was saying that, good memories came back in his mind about the time he first laid eyes on Shadow, and also bad memories, when they had fights and didn't quite feel the love that they tried to give each other.

"Apparently you're a moron," Terra continued.

"No I'm not," Ash declared .

"Yes you are, can't you see that she's still breathing? Slowly, but breathing." Terra pointed at Shadow, blood spewing from her arm, back, and her wrists, her mouth open gasping for air. Then he noticed that Bob, Smith, Tony, Dana, and Abby were holding Midnight, Darknight, Storm, and Luckie. Not long after Ash was finish looking around Lava grabbed him from behind, his arm wrapped around Ash's throat, when Ash tried to break free, he was chocked.

"So Shadow," Terra started, "You need to come back with me to your sister, and give back…" Her voice trailed off, she walked over to the bleeding youth on the floor and whispered in her ear, "What you stole, and face the consciences." Shadow struggled to her feet. Terra quickly drew her sword, the pointed the tip at her targets throat, Shadow froze trying not to fall on the sharply pointed object near her body.

"I'll...never go...with you." Shadow stated, still trying to grasp air.

Ash, squirming, trying to brake free of Lava's grip, Lava drew his sword also, and placed it on is neck.

"Well if you don't your little friends are going to get hurt." Terra threatened.

"Like you...would do that." Shadow resisted as she took a step back, away from the sword. Lava turned around so Shadow could see, Lava having the sword in his hand pulling it back, cutting the tendons of Ash's neck. Ash let out a long groan, trying not to show weakness as drops of blood started to drip out. Lava stilled his weapon, the sword blade still in Ash's neck, Shadow watched her boyfriend as he was in pain, her eyes closed, listening to the groans. As she listened, all the other evil teenagers' had their powers ready to attack their prisoners, waiting on Terra's hand signal.

"If you resist any farther, your little friends will die," Terra, once again, threatened her.

"Don't call me small!" Darknight shouted, squirming in Bob's grasp,

"Don't do it Shadow!" Ash demanded.

Everyone looked at him and Lava then back to Shadow and Terra.

"Shut him up!" Terra exclaimed. Lava made a rope, put the middle in his mouth, and tied it in the back, his hands where bind together behind his back, Terra signaled them all.

Dana had a force field around Storm's head, Abby had her hair hold Storm still, Bob squeezed the daylights out of Darknight, Luckie was being drowned by Smith's water, Midnight was tied to the floor while being choked by Tony, and Ash was slowly being cut by Lava's sword. Shadow immediately though a fireball at everyone except for her acquaintances. As she turned around to shoot fire and save Luckie. Terra swung her sword down and made a huge gash in the back of Shadow's leg. Blood gushing out, the female youth laid on the floor, she leg covered in blood, screaming in agony.

The rain poured down outside, a young girl lay on the floor, bleeding from the arm, back, wrists, and leg, she was close to dying from blood loss. An older male was bleeding at the neck and was thrown to the ground by his rival, these two kids were the most damaged of them all.

One fireball that Shadow threw, made the wall with the shattered window, in which Storm had been tossed through, crumble to the ground below it.

Soon one couple that was trying to get out of the rain saw that some kids, in their view, had "died."

"AHHHHHH!" The in love man shrieked.

"Police! Someone call the police...911 and the ambulances! HELP!" The in love woman also shrieked.

Some people heard the screams; one of them picked up their house phone and called.

"Lava stop them, quick!" Terra announced. Therefore, he grabbed two swords, made a bow, placed the weapons on the bow, aimed at the engaged couple, and fired at the innocent people, then at the man who called the police.

Minutes passed and the police arrived, three people ran out to meet them. Terra pointed at the people in the grass. Darknight, in the arms of Bob, wiggled and squirmed, breathing heavy trying to break free. Lava, aiming at one of the police officers, released the string for the bow, shooting the sword strait through the bulletproof vest. The other police officers drew their guns, "Ready!" The head chief started, "Aim!" He continued, "Fire!" He shouted. All the men pulled back on the trigger of their gun. Tons of 9mm bullets were shot at the two kids standing on the second floor. Terra made a floating rock, grabbed her brother, crashed through the roof, and floated away, but the bullets kept going.

All the evil youths ran away. Darknight still being held on to, had her hands bind in the back, rope around her ankles and waist. One of the bullets jammed straight into her leg. Letting out a long painful scream, Darknight used her powers to try to pull the bullet out of her leg, not knowing were it was. Her mind went blank only focusing on the tiny metal shaped item. Ankles tied together so she can't walk, rope wrapped around her waist and over her hands so she can't escape.


Back at the house, the Ambulance and the medical team were rushing the five kids to the hospital. Shadow yelling out, "I'm fine! I'm fine! Leave me alone!" repeatedly.

Three doctors and one nurse trying to get Shadow on the gurney and in the vehicle, the others went in pain, but quietly, except for Storm who was screaming out "Darknight! What about Darknight!" Rapidly while trying to run to her rescue, but being restricted by three doctors.

The police team giving them backup, Jack ran to Midnight, Darknight, and Ash's lawn, hearing the gunshots, he noticed the dead police officer on the grass with a sword strait through him, he saw all the doctors trying to get Shadow and Storm on the gurneys. Pushing his way through the crowd, to the guarded ambulance, he just got a slight glimpse of Midnight walking in the vehicle.

"Excuse me but which hospital are they going to?" He quickly asked.

"To the 'Save a Life' hospital," One of the officers replied.

Jack ran all the way to the 'Save a Life' hospital to see Storm (the last one being unloaded) squirming and screaming, "Darknight! I have to save her!" Again and again.


In the hospital, all the kids were in separate little curtained rooms. Midnight, in one room, was having her burned arm and other minor cuts looked at, Ash, in the room next to Midnight, was having the doctor inspect his neck and see just how deep the cut really was. Storm, in a room next to Midnight, had to be held down by three doctors so a nurse can put a cast on his left arm. With a tube connected to a blood pouch that led to a plastic smaller tube that pierced his forearm, and having all the cuts on his face from the glass checked. Luckie, in the room next to Ash, was getting her stomach looked at from the rock that pierced her, and removing the little pebbles that were embedded into her skin.

Shadow was finally being put to sleep. Her last words were, "No laughing gas," so the doctors did her request and put her to sleep with an I.V., but they had to look at her wrists, arm, and back, but their most concern was her leg so they looked at it first and cleaned it.


He was almost there, Jack could see the sign and the door, a cramp formed in his side. Jack ran into the building and told the woman at the front desk that he was Midnight's "brother". The woman called someone to come to the front desk and show a "little boy" to his "sister".

Jack frowned and said to the woman, "I'm not a little boy, my name is Jack, and I'm 16."

"Whatever." The woman replied carelessly and went back to her work. Jack rolled his eyes and went to the waiting area.

Soon a nurse walked up to the woman at the front desk, who was examining a document, asking were the "little boy" was. The woman pointed to Jack, who was in the seat with his legs crossed, moving the foot on the floor up and down, waiting impatiently.

The nurse walked over to him and asked, "Are you the little boy?"

"I am not a 'little boy'. I am 16 years old. But yes, that would be me." He answered.

The nurse apologized for the woman's rude behavior and that she has been working two days strait, non-stop. While the two of them walked down the emergency hallway, hearing all the screams of the other people made Jack have bad feelings flow through his mind, as if they were doing something bad to Midnight. His stomach felt like it was twisting in two, which at this point all he cares about is his beloved Midnight.

Finally, they came to the five rooms that Midnight, Ash, Storm, Luckie, and Shadow were being held in. Jack asked the nurse if he could see Midnight; she nodded a yes.

Jack slid the curtain open and saw Midnight, thankfully sitting up, reading. Wanting to dash over there in relief, he calmly walked over and sat on the bed next to her legs.

"You're in one piece!" He said happily.

"Jack you came!" Midnight said, reaching over and hugging him around the waist, setting her head on his chest, the pain from his burned chest jolted throughout his body. He tried his best to wave it of, while he wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "How did you know that I was here?" She asked.

"Well I ran to your house, as soon as I saw the police car drive by my house and I saw you walking into the ambulance, I asked one of the police officers where you were going. And he told me it was this hospital." He replied releasing Midnight of his grip around her tiny shoulders, "Look I need to tell you something," He started.

"What is it?" Midnight asked.

"Okay here it goes," He continued, clearing his throat from all the embarrassment, "I...lo-" He was saying when a loud noise interrupted him. Jack, helping Midnight walk to the curtain, saw that Storm was limping down the hall, a green cast around his left arm, trying to get away from the doctors and nurses.

"Lock the door! Lock the door!" One of the nurses shouted out. The woman at the desk took responsibility and pushed a big red button the said 'door lock'. An identical button sat next to the button that said 'door unlock'. Storm ran into the door thinking that it was unlocked and started to freak out. He started banging on the glass door trying to shatter it into little pieces. The doctors and nurses were carefully reaching for him without hurting their patient.

Jack set Midnight in chair and ran out to help the people that worked at the hospital. After one last hit, Storm broke free. Running to save Darknight, he realized that he didn't know where Bob and the rest of the gang of heathens had carried her off.

Therefore, not knowing where Darknight was, Storm ran into the parking lot and was heading for the road when Jack grabbed his right arm, turning his hand and forearm to solid metal. Storm struggled to run, but, being restricted by Jack, he fell to his knees, tears falling down the sides of his face. Jack changed his hand back to normal, knelt down next to Storm, and whispered in his ear, "I'll look and find her. Don't you worry Storm. Don't you worry." He comforted.

"Why should I trust you?" Storm asked with a shaky voice.

"Because I saw where they went, and it would be too dangerous for a hospitalized teen to do." Jack insisted.

"Fine, but if you can't find her I will." Storm urged.

Jack nodded and helped Storm to his feet. They both walked back to the hospital door. Stepping through the shattered door, all the doctors came to Storm and Jack.

Storm was taken to his curtained room and set in the bed that was prepared for his arrival. When Jack peered in the room, Storm looked at Jack and nodded; he nodded back.

Jack pulled his head out of the room, turned, and went into Midnight's room, closing the curtain behind him. He returned to Midnight, sitting in the chair, and helped her back to the bed and covering her up. He sat down beside her; once again, he continued his words that he had started before with Midnight.

"I…" Once again, he was interrupted. This time by Shadow, who had just woken up with stitches on the back of her leg, and was acting somewhat loopy, but talking in a low voice.

Some people could tell that she was talking gibberish; others thought she was saying words in a random pattern. She started to lose control of her powers and curtains were flying in the room like a strong hurricane type wind.

Jack, not being able to finish his sentence once more, got frustrated, stuck his head out, and nearly got hit by a flying chair; he quickly withdrew his head just in time that the chair flew past him.

Ash, having to try and calm Shadow down by saying things that would get her back to her normal self again, he had to tell her that Terra was going to tell her sister that she found out where she was, lived, and slept. Once he said that, she immediately snapped out of all the loopy-gibberish talking. Jack was so upset that he couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't tell Midnight three little words that could probably change his life forever, and maybe Midnight's, too. Thinking about hitting everybody in the room, he calmly walked to Midnight and sat down a third time, Midnight curiously looked at Jack and asked, "What is it, Jack? Why are you so upset?"

Jack turned his head and laid his eyes on Midnight's covered ones, trying to look at them without squinting, he replied, "Why am I upset! I'm upset because I can't say one little sentence in this completely entire stupid hospital!"

"But you just did finish a sentence." Midnight said putting a hand on his face, her thumb rubbing his cheek, she closed her eyes.

Jack started to think This is one step closer to getting more data! As soon as you kiss her, no one can stop us. Not even her brother. They were inches away from kissing, when Ash came barging in, pulled Jack away from his sister and pressed him against the wall, leaving a huge dent. Midnight, still having her eyes closed, rolled off the bed, noticing that her brother had Jack pressed up against the wall. She tried to go over and help Jack, but she was wrapped up in the blanket that she was under. Ash made a fist and brought it up to his shoulder; two doctors came and pulled Ash away right before his fist hit Jack's face.

"Stay away from my sister! If you don't, you'll wish you were never alive!" Ash yelled as he was dragged around the corner. Jack walked back to Midnight, and helped her to get untangled, put her right arm around his shoulders held on to her hand with his right hand, and wrapped his left arm around her waist and helped her back on the bed.

"I'm so sorry about my bother and all the stuff that he does to you, do you think that you can forgive him?" Midnight asked with her head facing the bed.

"Yes, I mean it's not your fault that he's doing it." Jack answered, having a hand on her chin slightly pulling her head to face him. A slight smile came across her face. Jack noticed it and smiled back.

Storm peeked in "Jack," he whispered, "Jack," he whispered a little bit louder, Jack heard him say it the second time laid Midnight back and told her that it was would probably be better if she got some rest, got up and left.

He walked to Storm who was standing in the doorway, Jack closed the curtain behind him, "What?" He asked.

"You said that you would try and find Darknight." Storm replied with a stern voice.

"I know, and I will. Just give me some time okay. I'm trying to tell Midnight how I feel about her. And every time I try to, something always happens so I can't." Jack said.

Storm stood there with his arms folded across his chest, and just stared at him.

"Fine I'll go." Jack said, Jack was get uncomfortable with his stare, and walked out of Storms sight.

Storm walked back to his curtained room, Jack peeked around the corner and saw Storm close the curtain. Walked back into Midnight's room noticed that she was asleep on her side. He sat down on the bed next to her and leaned over to check and see if she really was asleep, which she was, and kissed her on the cheek. Then he walked out of the hospital in search of Darknight.
