–Falling Into Oblivion- 5
Speckles of water impacted his tanned muzzle and slightly stung his blood-coated cheek as his transporter hauled him across what appeared to be a large lake. Shadow lazily opened his right eye and peered across the scenery with little interest. Swirling waterspouts spun and churned the clear aqua water and teardrops gushed from the tips of the liquid tornadoes. Shadow sluggishly turned his head to his left and saw his carrier with an apparent view and widened his tired ruby orbs, as if for the first time, getting a good look at him. Shadow's hauler had his powerful crimson eyes intensely focused on the invisible path before them. Shadow felt the strong grasp of this figure hold his arm protectively as he attempted to remove his forearm from the clutch of his helper.
"No," a deep voice commanded in a gentle tone, "you're injuries are to grave, you can not hope to walk on your own."
Shadow lightly resisted the stranger's hold upon his limb. His vain struggle was halted when his captor gave another kind, yet forceful reply to his antics.
"I said no."
Shadow's arm fell limp across the alien's backside. "Name." Shadow stated randomly.
"What was that?"
"What's… your name…?"
"Do you not remember?" Shadow's only response was a light nod. "Why, I am Lucifer, or Luce as I said you may call me by." Lucifer flashed a charming smile, but snapped his head back forward was he dodged a small stone jutting up from the surface. "I gallantly rescued you from the horrible fate that could have awaited you had I not come to your aid." Lucifer began ranting of how he "graciously lifted Shadow from the cold ground and carried him off to heaven" wait… what the hell?
"Hold… on a second," Shadow gasped. The ability to talk was causing pain to erupt within his chest and he immediately clutched his torso tightly, ripping his white fur. Lucifer looked downs with concern and worry clouding his crimson jewels. Shadow snapped his eyes closed and writhed against Lucifer, who absolutely refused to lessen his hold.
"Hold on, love-" Lucifer lowered his arm that was securely wrapped around Shadow thin waist to under the ebony hedgehog's charcoal legs. He took Shadow's legs into his grasp and draped Shadow's arms around his neck. Lucifer began running at a quicker pace while Shadow was arranged bridal style in his arms.
Shadow's eyelid began to weigh down upon his face. He tightened his hold of Lucifer's neck in fear of falling into the deep blue water, a fear he possessed since childhood. Lucifer noticed Shadow's terror and brought his mouth to Shadow's ear and whispered in a placid tone, "I won't drop you. Go ahead… sleep, and encase yourself in dreams my exquisite shadow." Lucifer's warm breath caused a shiver to course through his veins. Shadow allowed his eyes to be weighed down by the temptation of sleep.
Lucifer smiled slightly as he looked upon the figure in his arms. He began to lower his mouth to Shadow's neck. He retracted his pink gums to bare sharp white fangs. Just as he was about to clutched Shadow's succulent throat in he jaws he withdrew his mouth while smirking. Raullie would kill me.
Sorry for the shortness and the long wait. -chaos.blast
