Shadowwolf:  I'M ALIVE!!!  Although school could kill me…

Bit:  Oh, no!  What would we do without our WONDERFUL author?

Shadowwolf:  SHUT IT!!

Bit:  Shutting up.

Shadowwolf:  Okay.  First of all.  Thanks to EVERYONE who reviewed!  Secondly, I'm SO sorry that it's taking me so long to update.  Thanks to all of you loyal readers reading this!  Now, this might be short, and stupid, and weird, and not my style-

Eddy:  Hey!

Shadowwolf:  Oh, yeah.  Here's my friend, Edward Mars Wong Elijah Hau Guo Pepelu Eckener Tivrusky IV.  WHEW!!

Eddy:  Yep!

Shadowwolf:  Call her Eddy.  She's volunteered to help cure my writer's block.  She's also my buddy who I recently hooked on Zoids.  She still loves Cowboy Bebop though…

Eddy:  Straight up!

Shadowwolf:  Sure.  Um, this will be in Brad's POV, and interesting, I guess.  Let's do this!  Disclaimer:  Eddy and I don't own Zoids or the characters.  Don't sue.

Eddy:  Come on!

Shadowwolf:  Okay, okay!  Here's the story!  I hope you enjoy, even if it's kind of short, again…

Oh yeah, um…

Blah, blah (italicized) weird voice (I don't know how else to explain it!!)

Blah, blah (italicized) thought speech, like talking in your head…

HUNTER'S PREY CH 11,

ALIVE?

It's dark and cold here.

            All I remember is trying to save Naomi.  Did she make it?  It's all my fault if she dies.  No one to blame but me.  Why did she save me?  She had nothing to do with my problems.  Even if we are in love, she shouldn't have done that.  Oh Naomi.  Are you alive?

            Brad… She calls to me.  Naomi?!

            Brad…wake up… Naomi!  It's got to be you!  Are you alive?!

            Brad…are you alive? Only if you are.

            Brad…oh Brad…say something… Naomi!  I'm here!  I hear sobbing.  Naomi, don't cry.  I'm here.  Alive.

            "Brad, Brad?" Bit says as I open my eyes.  I look around, I'm in a hospital.

            "Leena, it's okay.  Brad's alive!" He jumps for joy.  I am alive, to him.  But I'm not so sure…

            "Oh thank heavens!  Brad, don't ever do that again!" She scolds me.  Yeah, sure, I did it on purpose.  I like making myself and Naomi suffer.  Naomi!  Where is she?

            "Naomi?" I manage to squeak out.

            "She hasn't woken up yet, but I'm sure she'll be fine." Bit has confidence in his eyes.  I hear a groan.  I look to the right.  Naomi!

            "Naomi!  Get a doctor in here!  Find out if she's alright…" I'm slipping back into the cold.  No!  I have to keep control!  Stay awake!

            "It's okay Brad.  She's with a doctor." Doc tells me.  Good.  She won't die.  I won't let her.

            "What's wrong with her?" I ask.  Doc looks solemn.

            "Any number of things.  Could be abdominal injuries, broken ribs.  Anything.  We aren't sure yet."  The doctor speaks up.

            "You on the other hand, got lucky.  The bullet went straight into your humorous.  But we were able to repair it.  You should be fine in a matter of hours."

            I don't care about MY condition!!  Can't they tell?  What about Naomi?!

            "Can you save her?" I ask, no, demand.  His answer sends me back into the terribly dark cold.

            "We will try."

Shadowwolf:  Okay, okay, I know.  Really short.  But I think I have it where I want it to pick up on the next chapter, which should be more like normal.

Leena:  Where's Eddy?

Shadowwolf:  She had to go home. -_- Oh well!  Hope you enjoyed, and to Eddy:  Thanks!  THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!! ^_^
