I have another chapter but right now it is being edited so here's at least one for the Fan ^_^
Angel gave a heavy sigh as she headed towards Mary's car. There was a bad feeling in her that wouldn't leave and when Mary mentioned that she had it too didn't help. Today was just an off day and neither could do anything about it.
"Ready to go?" asked Angel. She looked at Mary who was staring blankly out the window lost in her world. Angel couldn't help but smile as her partner looked cute when she was thinking and reached out to snap the vet out of it.
"Go where?" Mary asked staring right into Angel's forest green eyes.
"I honestly don't know let's just roam around till we see what seems good to eat," Angel offered.
Mary started her car and the two were off hoping to shrug the unpleasant aura.
They were on the road for about 15 minutes when Angel saw something that she couldn't believe.
"Oh my god! Mary stop the car," Angel exclaimed scaring the hell out of her partner.
The car screeched to a sudden stop, "Jesus Angel give a girl a warnin' before you do-" Mary stoped once she caught site of what the other brunette was staring at.
It was Pumpkin carrying Ivy on her back.
And they were covered in blood.
"Pumpkin!" Mary yelled. The orange cat stop mid run to see who had called her. The cat immediately ran towards them as if she knew they could help.
Angel placed her hand over mouth once she saw Ivy's wounds up close. As a doctor it resembled when a person was attacked by a bull shark.
Mary went into saving mode as she took off her jacket and scooped up the bleeding cat in her arms. In less than a minute they were all ready in the car prepared to save Mary's cat.
"Quick Hon you drive while I put pressure on the wound." Mary ordered.
"Where to the shelter or your house?"
"My house, I have enough medical supplies there and it's closer."
Angel jammed into the gas pedal as hard as she could. The Chevy made a screeching noise as she turned a hard left probably burning-out and leaving tire marks but there wasn't any time to be wasted.
"Hey shhhh you're ok now," Mary said. Ivy just whimpered and made some low painful meows, her eyes were dazed and her gums were pale white. The vet was taken aback by how Pumpkin seemed to be comforting the injured cat even rubbing her face every now and then.
Once they were at the house they ran to the storage room. Because of the budget cuts, there wasn't any space to place any extra items at the shelter but Mary simply kept the things at her house until it was needed back at the shelter. As Angel got the needed materials Mary scrubbed her hands furiously as they prepped for surgery.
"Ok stick the IV there" Mary ordered.
"There?"
"Perfect now-" Mary felt bad what she was about to say but they couldn't take any chances, "Take Pumpkin out and shut the door."
My god, Mary thought as she saw the wounds up close. Behind all the dirt and dog saliva the vet could see Ivy's side had been ripped to the bone and a lot of muscle tissues were torn and swollen. This wasn't going to be easy but she was a girl that hadn't given up and as long as Ivy's fighting so should she.
A couple of hours later
Angel pulled off her mask as she stepped out of the room. Mary was still stitching up the wounds but told her to check up on Pumpkin who had been crying and scratching outside the room for hours.
She felt a little strange seeing a cat stare at the door with such focus as her patients do at the waiting room. In fact she could tell there was something unique about these two cats. Mary had told her that they almost seemed human but Angel didn't believe her. Mary also said her car intentionally ate her cd just to mess with the vet but now the brunette could see her lover was right.
"Come here and let's get you cleaned up," Angel said in a soothing voice. The cat didn't seem to notice that she was still covered in blood and it didn't bother her in the least. It seemed she had bigger things to worry about.
The tabby cat gave a weak cry as the doctor placed her in the tub of warm water. Angel was surprised that not even water brought out any typical cat behavior as Pumpkin seemed to be in her own world. If Pumpkin was a person Angel would have thought that the cat was in shock.
The brunette gently cleaned off the blood and dirt matted in Pumpkin's hair. The cat still didn't seem to notice till she saw the water turn a reddish brown. The color seemed to have snapped the cat out of her dream as she quickly flew out of the tub but Angel was faster.
"Wait you're ok shhh you're fine,' the brunette said holding the cat. "Ivy's not going anywhere."
The cat went limp in her arms and looked at Angel guilty as if saying, "I hope you're right because this is all my fault."
Just then Mary appeared with a grim look on her face. She looked very tired and gave a big sigh lifting some weight off her shoulders.
"The rest is up to her," Mary started to say before a couple of tears came down "How did this happen?"
Neither noticed that Kim had snuck into the room where Shego was at.
Both doctors could see that Pumpkin wasn't going to hurt Ivy just be there for support as the cat just laid beside her counterpart and rubbed her head against the other one.
"Let's just give them a little time alone," Angel said as they left to discuss Ivy's condition.
"I have never seen anything like that."
"I know, not even people can survive that kind of damage let alone an animal."
"My guess was that it was a dog attack."
"Jesus…Is there anything else we could do?"
"No. We just have to wait but my professional opinion is that Ivy won't make it through the night."
"SHHhhhh! Pumpkin can hear you."
"Well I was just say-"
"No one ever wants to hear news like that for their loved ones, now we'll just leave Pumpkin there for support to get Ivy through the night even if it does seem like a lost cause, " Angel said before crying. She couldn't help it there was something about these cats that told her they should never be apart from each other.
Angel was right Kim could hear everything but that wasn't going to stop her faith in Shego. The doctors came to check throughout the night but most of the time Kim was alone with Shego. That night she had the nightmare that made her relive their whole adventure up to this point of what had happened.
Seconds felt like minutes and minutes felt like hours till finally the sun came up and everyone was happy to see that Shego was still alive.
But she wasn't out of the woods yet.
For one thing Shego hadn't woken up and the injuries would take some time to heal.
That didn't matter to Kim because as time passed her optimism grew. She wouldn't dare leave Shego's side and she'd entertain herself be reminding Shego about all their missions together.
Then one day…
Kim had woken up to see Shego's eyes staring right at her. Kim couldn't speak as she didn't know what to say. Cry? Beg for forgiveness? Just when she was about to say something Shego spoke first.
"When I was a superhero the people loved me," She started silencing Kim. "You believe that you can save everyone and the thought alone should make people happy even if it can't always be done. Well unfortunately people want you to do the impossible even do things they couldn't possibly imagine doing themselves."
"Shego you don't have to-"
"No I want you to know…you need to know. Everything was going fine with Team go until the boating accident. There was a horrible storm and a boat was stranded in the middle of the ocean near Go City so Team Go went there to rescue the passengers. While everything was going as smoothly as it could the last two people needed to be saved were a man and his daughter. Just when it was their turn the sinking boat had started to shift making them fall overboard. Not thinking I jumped into the water with a rope tied on my waist."
Shego took a breather while Kim could imagine everything so vividly as if she was there.
"The current was strong and I barely could keep myself afloat but as I could see the two people I swam towards them as fast as I could. Up close I couldn't believe the father was so hysterical that he was using his daughter as support to keep from drowning. I could see the little girl's eyes scared and confused as her dad was killing her. So I did what needed to be done… I punch the bastard knocking him off. He disappeared under the huge waves while the daughter was screaming for him. I quickly grabbed the girl and Hego started to pull us up."
Shego stopped as she remembered what happened next. The names they had called her and the media twisting the truth till it looked like a spiral. Even the girl she had saved had turned against her and telling people on the news that she wanted justice for her father. At first her brothers had stood beside her but then they were also being persecuted till the point that when Shego wanted to leave they didn't stop her. That's when the thief knew she was alone in this world and she was okay with it…at least that's what she thinks.
"After everything I had done it meant nothing because I let a father of three drown because of my 'ruthless actions'" Shego shifted a little as she saw the look on Kim's face. "They called me murderer, saying that I should have saved them both instead of playing God. Who was I to decide who lived and who didn't."
"They're wrong you can't save everyone," Kim said touching Shego's paw. Shego turned away from Kim not wanting to let the redhead see her look so weak. Kim's thoughts of Shego being an evil villainess vanished as it was replaced by someone who was hurt and betrayed.
But I can save you Shego…from the loneliness, thought the redhead.
"I know but from then on I learned something… people will use you if you let them," Shego was getting angry, "Don't trust anyone, never let your guard down and it's every person for themselves."
Angry hot tears flowed down from Shego's face as she wanted to be left alone. Kim probably thinks less of her now just a little crybaby who couldn't take criticism and some name calling. But what happened next stunned the thief. She felt Kim embrace Shego tightly and heard
"If you don't want to help the world that's okay with me but please…" Kim made Shego face to her "Please don't shut me out of your life, understand." Shego saw that Kim was also crying and the two held each other as if their life depended on it. Kim knew that deep down Shego didn't truly believe that or else Kim would have been the injured one or worse…
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Shego I'm so sorry," Kim chanted but what she hadn't known was that Shego had already forgiven her.
"Just to warn you," Shego tightened her grip around Kim, "I'm really possessive of anything close to me."
"Wouldn't want it any other way,' Kim said.
What should have taken weeks to heal only took some days because of Shego's powers.
"Shego you should be resting," Barked Kim. But Shego wasn't listening as she was running after a butterfly.
"Look," Shego said touching her scar, "I'm fine see."
"Don't do that," hissed Kim before Shego tackled her. They ended up laughing and trying to outwit each other.
"This is ridiculous. Why haven't you found our daughter," James Possible asked. The Possible family had been patient enough and still these so call agents can't even find Kim or Shego. It's was as if they've disappeared from this world without a trace.
Agent Du took a deep breath trying to relax himself, it wasn't working. Dr. Director had left him in charge of this because she had other cases to handle. He felt this too incompetent, I mean it was Kim Possible the girl who could do anything could certainly take care of herself. Maybe she was taking a break from everything you know having a girl crisis or something.
"That's it! Where is the phone I'm calling Betty now!" Kim's mother yelled. She was worried sick of her daughter and yet nothing was done.
"No wait! Ok we'll put a $50,000 awards on anyone who has seen either Kim or Shego on national Television. How's that sound," Du offered. He was not about to have his balls handed to him by his boss.
"Team," Du called out, "Shego is a high risk to the community if there's a shot take it that's an order!"
"Yes sir."
