Her eyes glazed with almost a liquid ice feeling, so cold that she felt frost would cover her cheeks. As she sat there on one knee Shark fell forward without a sound or movement or any resistance. He hit the ground sending up a spray of dust and the creaking of floorboards filled the room. Lioness just sat there looking at the fallen hero. She didn't understand what was wrong with him, one moment he was jumping and sliding all over the place and then…Shark laid their motionless as his back quickly rose up and down with the shortness of breathe. Almost smacking herself to move Lioness jumped over and put her hand on his back, kneeling on one knee. She pushed on him feeling his chest rapidly move under her in an unnatural way.
"Shark," she called still pushing while she called again, "Shark!"
Never had one of the team fallen randomly like this before, it was a shock and she just couldn't grasp it in her mind. With no response to his name Lioness rolled Shark over to his back, his head laying limp as she turned him over. Then she saw why Shark had fallen. Across his chest lay a long thick black burn across his skin from shoulder to hip. Lioness glanced up and gasped; now she could remember when it was too late. When Paine came close he was able to cut shark across his chest before being hit by the jet of air.
Lioness put her hands on his still warm chest and watched as his chest rose swiftly up and down as if he wasn't getting enough air. She listened and found an irregular heartbeat, something fatal if not quickly taken care of.
"Quick somebody call the hospital!" Lioness screamed half holding Shark who was beginning to sweat, breathing harshly through his mouth, eyes closed. Hawk nodded from across the room and ran towards the vehicles outside; the communicators were fried from the fight. King threw something off of him and Axel limped over to his side unaware of what was going on across the room. All they could figure was that the emergency was just a broken limb and so far everyone had something at least fractured so it wasn't that big of a deal.
Lioness brushed some of the blonde hair out of Sharks' face and laid him on the ground looking into his face. Her hands griped her pants and she glanced to the other guys seeing them begin to head over her way.
"You guys alright?" Axel called noticing Shark was lying on the floor but still to far away to see anything.
"Na, something's wrong with Shark," Lioness said quickly looking at shark not noticing his chest moving slower. "But if Hawk called the hospital he should be alright."
And like a curse she felt her hand that was placed on Sharks' chest stop moving. A huge pulse went through her mind and her own heart skipped a beat. Not wanting to look down she stared off at King and Axel who noticed a change in her state. Feeling the drip of sweat down her cheek Lioness slowly tilted her head down her eyes shaking from fatigue. Her eyes subconsciously filled with tears.
He's not breathing she immediately told herself, never thinking that this was possible, stuck in a shock like state staring at him.
Shark lay motionless his mouth cracked open with a hint of blood leaving a trail along his face. His blue eyes lay closed and his hair dirty and burnt from some near fires. His suit torn and burned across the chest where blood began to appear from such an intense burn. And on his chest lay his tooth necklace lay still attached to its' leather string around his neck.
"NO, NO," she cried to herself the tears unable to be held back as she faced down towards Sharks' head. Lioness rapidly went to her knees and pushed on his chest then went to his mouth for C.P.R. She did it again the tears still coming from her eyes confusing her mind even more. The shattered wood lay around them as she pressed the gift of life onto shark who only refused.
"NO!" she cried her voice choking on the tears.
The salt gems fell from her cheeks like a river as she looked into his closed eyes. Outside she heard the faint sound of sirens, they sounded far away to hear like a dream, the lights only pretending to flash outside a nearby window, hoping this was all a dream.
"No," she whispered hunching over picking shark in her arms like a child his head hanging down, no she whispered again, so soft that even the wind lost track of her words.
whoo hoo I'm almost at 50 reviews, please keep them comin! Oh and I can't tell you what happens next or if shark is living or dead to put it plainly, I want you to feel the emotion! Guess what is going to happen! Don't be to harsh but let me know you love it!
