Still I have not got the rights to this- But I am working on it!!!
Last Chapter
"Right. I want some answers," he said gazing sternly at all of us.
Oh boy.
BEN POV
We all looked around at each other uncomfortably. This was not something we had wanted to go over just yet. But Cub was still staring at us with a determined expression and I knew we were going to be having this discussion right now.
"What do you want to know," Eagle squeaked out after a death stare between Cub and the four of us took place.
"First things first, why am I here?" he asked," Surely Mrs Jones and blunt can't expect me to train, I was shot!" Cub exclaimed.
"We know Cub, that isn't why you're here, something happened when you were in the hospital," I said.
"Well obviously that happened when I was unconscious so do you feel like filling me in, or do I have to use my imagination because I can guarantee what I guess will be worse than what it actually is," Cub warned giving a glare Wolf would be proud of. However since the glare was also aimed at him I am not sure he would be feeling too proud of it right now.
"Fine," I said tersely," while you were unconscious at the hospital WE were guarding you because two further assassination attempts happened," I explained, "One on the way to the hospital and once right after your surgery, so you are lucky to be alive. You are here for protection, get it, you need to be protected for SCORPIA," and seeing Cub's face I continued," yes and we know who it was that shot you. We are here to make sure you don't get assassinated by those bastards and the best way to do that is have you surrounded by military personnel."
"So its also a way to for THEM, MI6 to keep tabs on me," he replied icily.
So what I had assumed was correct, figures.
"Yes, we sort of guessed that," Wolf said glaring at Cub. I had to give Cub credit, he didn't waver or seem affected by it in the slightest. He got up and went and went over to the window, we all moved so that we were on our bunks and let him have his space.
After several minutes of awkward silence passed, Cub finally spoke again, so quiet I didn't hear him the first time.
"I am sorry Cub, what did you say?" Snake asked.
"I said, how long am I here for?" he replied louder and turning back to face us.
"Till- till, you are 18," I stuttered knowing what his reaction would probably be like.
"8….18, I am here for four years. Why, why can't I go home, Jack is probably worried sick. Getting shot again, she is gonna be in a right state and here I am in some god forsaken SAS camp for my protection. Protection my ass this is a way for MI6 to have 24/7 access to me and they are using my injury as a way of doing that. I want to go home, I want to see jack," he said, well, more like screamed at us.
We all sat in a stunned silence. Why. We all knew he couldn't go home. We knew Jack wouldn't be there waiting for him. Because- she'd left him.
"You can't," I whispered to him.
"And why the hell not, you can't stop me, as soon as I can I am going home- you hear me!," he screamed.
"You can't because you have no-one idiot. She left, Jack or whatever her name is left. Back to the states she has left you. That's why you are here till your 18. You have nowhere else to go. You drove that poor woman over the edge and she went back to HER home and now we are stuck with YOU, and you are stuck with US," Wolf growled back at him.
Cub stood there in a stunned silence for a few moments. Mouth opening and closing yet no sound came out. Then as if he suddenly was filled with energy, ran to the door and slammed it shut behind him.
We all jumped out of our bunks, Snake and Wolf running to the door while me and Eagle ran to the window. We saw Cub running to the woods. Shit, this kid is gonna kill himself, I thought desperately.
Snake, mimicking my thoughts yelled, "After him, he's gonna kill himself."
So we all sprinted out the door and ran towards the woods. We ran, ran to go get our Cub.
ALEX POV
I was running. Adrenaline pumping through my veins, I had no idea where this energy came from, all I knew was I had to keep running. Tears blurred my eyes, merging the forest around me into one big green blob as I ran through it.
Trees whipped at me, tearing my clothes and cutting my face, but I didn't care. All I knew is I had to keep running.
As I was running I was thinking, not really seeing where I was going. Jack, how could she leave me? Am I really that bad. I want her back.
I kept seeing her face in my mind. I wasn't concentrating and so I didn't see the huge root in front of me. My foot got caught on it and sent me flying.
The ground came rushing to meet me faster than it should have.
Then, nothing.
BEN POV
"Split up," Wolf said, reverting to his position as the leader. "It is a big forest and it's our greatest hope of finding him. We keep searching till we hear the whistle. Please tell me you all have your whistle.?" We all nodded. "Good when you find Cub blow once, if there is trouble blow twice," he said, " keep blowing till we all get there, do you all have that?" Again we nodded.
We all headed off into the forest. I ran, looking for Cub. He may have been angry but he was still hurt and he could hurt himself even more in this forest. I searched for 3 hrs and still didn't find him. I looked in bushes I thought could cover him, behind fallen logs but had no luck.
He didn't know his way around the forest so he is probably lost and wandering around, I told myself. But I had a nagging in the back of my head that told me that wasn't true.
I was starting to get really worried until I heard the whistle blow. Relief flooded in my until I heard the second blow.
I set off at a run, determined to get to Cub as soon as possible.
WOLF POV
Damn kid, I thought. Why did you have to be so melodramatic. So your guardian or babysitter, or whatever left, big whoop. You still didn't need to get that angry.
I probably shouldn't have yelled at him though, it was harsh the way I told him, I thought, as I, once again, found nothing as I looked behind a log.
Dumb kid is probably hiding trying to make us run around all night. Bet he is back at the cabin. Maybe I should go and check there.
I had myself convinced he was there, and was about to turn around when I heard, not one, but two whistle blows.
I ran to find the source of the noise.
SNAKE POV
Oh he is probably in heaps of pain right now. Wound must be stinging like hell. Must have been an adrenaline rush or he wouldn't have had the energy to run like that. In his state anything could happen to him out here.
Sighing I looked in another bush again only to come up empty.
Geez where is this kid, I thought.
Whistle, Whistle
"Shit!" I swore and then ran to the source of the whistling.
EAGLE POV
This kid is too much trouble. But he is still fun. God it was hilarious when him and Wolf had a glaring contest. I love watching Wolf glare at other people.
I turned my head left and right looking for some sign of life- anything really. But it was all just the dull green of the forest. The trees moved slightly with the wind but apart from that there was no sound, and no movement.
I was crashing round through some bushes when I spotted something off colour.
It was green but there was a blondish colour near the top. It was just lying there on the ground.
And then it clicked in my brain. Rushing forward I blew on the whistle twice since I didn't know what was wrong with him. I dropped to my knees beside him and rolled him over. My hands were covered in something sticky- blood. He was completely unresponsive to my rolling him over.
"CUB!"
What do you think, I know its still kinda dull but the action will happen over the next few chapters I promise. Review please
Love Mad
