Who, three updates in one day? Sadly, this story is almost done. Well, enjoy the chapter!
Honey and Mori had searched frantically for their friends. It was nearing midnight, and they were about to give up for the night. Honey pointed out something in the distance. "Over there, Takashi, let's check it out!" Mori nodded. He stared walking, carrying Honey on his shoulders. He saw what the blonde had been talking about. About three miles away, there was a small cabin.
…
The Hosts had heard Buck return. The door slam was unmistakable. Hikaru and Kaoru held onto each other. Haruhi and Tamaki were holding each other as well. Kyoya sat alone, taking deep breaths. He wasn't going to die at the hands of that psychopath, and he wasn't going to let his friends either. Buck entered the room. The tension was almost tangible. There was a murderous gleam in his eyes.
The other man and the woman stood when he entered. "Finally we can get rid of these brats," the woman said, smirking. At that moment, Haruhi, along with the others, even Kyoya, began to tear up.
"I'm not going to let them put a finger on you, Kaoru," Hikaru said.
"I promise you won't die here," Tamaki said to Haruhi.
…
Mori reached the cabin. He pried the door open. There was no one in the main room. He did, however, notice a firearm on the couch of the room. "I think we've found them," he said. He let Honey down.
Honey started looking around the room. He found a door that led to the next room. "Let's go, Takashi. I bet we can handle them."
…
Buck pulled Hikaru away from Kaoru. "I think I'll get rid of you first…"
"Hikaru!" Kaoru shouted, a strong sense of fear overwhelming him.
The man pressed a knife against Hikaru's neck. Just as he was about to slit the boy's throat, the door flew open.
"Get them, Takashi!" the teens heard the unmistakable voice of Honey shout. In an instant, Honey and Mori were after Rita and Juan. In minutes, they had them on the ground.
"Be careful, the other one has a weapon!" Tamaki warned the two older teens. Mori and Honey nodded, acknowledging that they had heard him.
Honey ran over to Buck, who had lowered his weapon away from the older Hitachiin's neck. Just before Honey could land a blow, though, he plunged the knife into the red-head's back. Hikaru screamed loudly. Kaoru let out a cry so full of pain that all the others could feel was sadness. Honey's eyes went wide. For once in his life, he hesitated.
Mori temporarily pushed aside his feelings of worry for Hikaru. He pulled Buck away from the younger teen, and slammed his head against a solid object, rendering him unconscious. Hikaru started to fall. "Grab him!" he commanded. He grabbed the boy's left arm, and Kyoya grabbed his right.
Hikaru's breathing was horribly uneven. He felt blood gush from the wound each time his heart beat. In a matter of seconds, he felt dizzy. He was unable to speak. Kyoya examined the wound. Bright red blood had seeped through Hikaru's shirt. Arterial blood, Kyoya thought with dismay. "We need to get him to a hospital now!"
Kaoru stood frozen with pure shock. From where he stood, he could smell the blood. He could see his twin's colorless face. "Hikaru…" he said quietly.
Tamaki and Haruhi stood, expressions of pure horror etched across their faces. Kyoya and Mori tried to get the bleeding to stop, but it was to no avail. Honey called the emergency response number on his cell phone. All they could do now was wait and hope that Hikaru would hold on, if even for just a bit longer.
Wow, you all don't know how hard that was for me to write...
