Blood Red Road (part 2)
Shego was leading the front line with Wade as the navigator, Ron and Wade discussing who could have kidnapped Kim. The ground was hard, and everyone's' shoes were worn when Shego looked down she saw dark liquid crawling across her cheap boots, but she ignored the pain her feet were sending her. Just like every other feeling that had dared to come out, the only one that she felt and kept and didn't push aside was hatred, that was all she could feel right now. Hatred on everyone, herself, Kim, Kim's friends-
You don't mean that. A thought in her head stopped her own mental rant. She growled realizing she was angry that she couldn't blame anyone. Logically she knew it wasn't her fault, but in her head she cursed herself for not being there to help Kim fight off whoever it was who took her."Something wrong Shego?" Wade asked sympathetically,
"What's right?" Wade remained silent, mainly because he couldn't find anything that was right either, so he changed the subject, "We're nearly there guys so-" Wade was interrupted by Monique.
"Wait hold up homes, what if our parents are being watched?" Shego hadn't thought of it, frankly she hadn't thought of anything she just seemed to have kept thinking of Kim, where could she be, how will they get her back, how far could they be now
"If they were, why has no one been watching us? And if they have, how come they haven't stopped us?" Shego asked, realizing the government had probably given up with them ever since they played 'nice prisoners' for about a year.
As the group approached the area, they were greeted by green grass, a miniature water fall, and food. Then a woman who looked about in her 40's, red hair but with slight grays came out of a shelter that seemed to be built of a sturdy wood. She shouted something but Shego couldn't hear it, a bunch of older adults came running up, and started to run to their children. Hugging and kissing their teens, everyone shouting over each other "I missed you so much! Look at how you've grown! I love you!" All common things you would hear parents say.
Shego had no parents, ever since a commet had hit her and her brothers, they had soon found out their parents had died quickly. Since Shego and her other brother- who she despised. Had been old enough they were now the legal guardians. But as soon as Shego had gained enough money and was sure the identical twins were on the right path, she moved out of Go city, to London.
Shego was about to leave, but was stopped by a gentle hand
"Shego?" The voice was a felt like thorns in her brain, she didn't want to answer. But unlike her past events, she couldn't run away from this.
"Dr Possible" Shego replied, refusing to make eye contact
"Where's Kim?" She asked, concern growing in her voice. Shego really didn't know how the best way to put it. So she tried her best.
"Kid napped but I'm going to find her. But you and I know, she wouldn't want her best friends to be injured or in any serious danger, so I'm leaving them here. Then I'll go and track down the men who took her." Anne looked at Shego, who just stared at the grass. "Anne, I love your daughter and I will not let anything or anyone she loves to be put in danger." Anne looked at Shego with so much sympathy; she put the thought of Kim being kidnapped in the back of her mind, she sighed and pulled Shego into a hug as if she was her own daughter.
"You're not leaving without rest and better transport than those bleeding things you call feet. WAIT! Why couldn't you stop them with you're ... what did Kimmie called it... Greeny Flame thing?" Shego seemed a little disappointed if that was Kim's best description of her powers. A thingy.
"They had plasma proof armor." Shego emphasized the word 'plasma' just to clear up it wasn't a green flame thin." Anne sparked as she had an idea,
"Do you have any specialty with another weapon apart from your fists? Like do you have good hand aim and good eye sight?" Anne new it was a stupid question, from seeing Shego fight with Kimmie on TV, but she had to be sure.
"Um, I think I still got it, but my plasma's no good"
"Oh I wasn't talking about the plasma" Anne said with a smirk, hey that's my trade mark! Shego thought to herself. "Anyway you get some rest and wash up, we'll practice tomorrow." Shego just left her brain filled with more questions.
Shego looked at the arrows and the bow in front of her. The sun was shining and the sky was a clear blue without a single cloud in sight. The bow was quite cool she had to admit, it had a black body, and white tribal markings carved into it. She looked at the target in front of her, "so let me get this straight, you think I can take out people with plasma proof armor, with a sharp little twig?" Shego asked finding the whole situation stupid. And she felt slightly weird now wearing her usual clothing.
Monique had been given the materials to update Shego's boots, but had gone way beyond the boots, she had practically remade Shego's entire look. Instead of flimsy top, it was now a forest green tee shirt, shorts replaced with a brown breathable but sturdy material that shaped Shego's claves quite nicely. As for the boots, Monique had made a black pair of boots with a thick soul to them with two buckles to each side. Clearly this girl had experience.
"No, the average human wouldn't have the strength, but you have an enhanced strength, am I correct?" James (Kim's father) asked. Shego nodded, "then you would have enough energy in your arm muscles to contract enough speed to let go of the arrow while still in the bow, and with enough force would go through about six men." Shego really didn't get a word of what the man just said, she took a protection for her arm and strapped it on she was told that it hurt when you let go of the arrow due to it striking the arm. The arm protection had the shape of a dog bone, it covered the entire part of the arm, it matched the bow as well. Shego took the bow and one arrow, she pulled the string back with all her strength, she squinted one eye, and let go. It seemed to go faster than a bullet, so fast it went through the entire board, luckily there was a big stack of hay behind, but there was still a bit of the arrow sticking through. James approached where Shego had shot "DEAD CENTER!" He called out.
The evening had gone well Shego had successfully completed a whole course of archery in a day. Moving fast targets, far away targets ect. Shego was ready to move off in the morning, she had about 100 arrows in her back pack. A pistol with a few bullets, a long hard rope, water bottle a lot of fruit, map and of course for protection another arm protector. Ahorse was waiting for her at dawn, it was all black, it was the reins and saddle that made it stick out. With Anne waiting, her eyes were red. "Hey" Anne said gently as Shego approached her "I... really don't know what to say. You tried to kill my daughter, then you save her a couple of times, then fight her again… And now..." she trailed off; Shego smiled
"Dr P, honestly I would never ever have the guts to kill her, fight her yes, but kill no. I'm saving that for the bastard who took your daughter." Anne was too mixed with feeling that she didn't notice Shego swear,
keep this," she handed Shego a necklace with a strange colored stone, it was a blend between red and black."I'm told it tells you right from wrong, hot is wrong cool is right" Shego not sure what to say, took it nodded and left. I already know what's right, I love Kim and I will find her. What's wrong is that I'm gonna kill anyone who's stupid enough to get in my way!
As Shego set off to track down her princess.
Shego followed the prints that been left since Kim's capture. They were heavy in the ground, must have been a lot of weight on the horse like 3 grown men, or a 5 pound horse and 3 pound man. She followed the tracks, minutes into hours, the time seemed to fade away, along with Shego's hope.
Shego was still following the prints when she heard something behind her, she stopped the horse, all though it continued to waver about a bit. Nero who had been following quietly swooped down and landed on the horse's mane. Shego got an arrow out and her bow. Then came up a brown girl, chocolate eyes, on a horse. Wait that couldn't be... MONIQUE? WHAT THE FUCK?
"Hey girl, you have to wait up!" she shouted after Shego tutted and pulled on the mains, stopping the horse all together, "what is it? And why aren't you where I told you to until I got back with Kim?"
"I got some serious info, but I need your help. When was Kim's birthday?" Shego arched an eyebrow in confusion "September 19, late summer" Monique's eyes widened with even more fear, "Shego you will think this is crazy but it might be a hint." A hint? A hint can sometimes lead you to be arrested… or help you out a lot!"Spill" Shego said.
"Basically, there's this religion, which if taking a life of a teen born in September, at the age of eighteen, the leader of that religion at that time, will gain what life the teen has left. During the sun setting" Shego put all of this together,
"If they kill Kim, somehow their leader get's her years left in her life?"
"Yeah in this case eighteen."
"Now." Shego said really burning with hatred for all stupid made up religions "let's say a woman with radiation in her body, kills this guy for stealing her fucking girlfriend, do I get his life? Cuz I don't want it" Shego turned her horse round and started to go towards her destination, Monique followed her on her own horse "so where is this place called?" Monique asked
"The Recti District." Shego said, as Monique and Shego's horse started to head to the small village, side by side.
