Chapter 2

----------------------------------------------

During the conflict - Renton's View

-----------------------------------------------

'Wah…What happened?' Renton kept swerving back between reality and unconsciousness. 'I can't move… Ow...Ow… My arm… ' Flashes of Eureka's face flashes across his eyes. 'Eureka! Eureka! '

"Renton!" Eureka voice sliced through the darkness. 'Eureka…Wait… I can't die now…I must… Protect Eureka…'

Darkness filled Renton's vision. He felt someone grab something from his right pocket. He opened his eyes and a hazy image appeared; Eureka gripped a gun in her right hand.

'No…wait…'

A loud noise rang through Renton's ears before he passed out again.

-----------------

"Renton! RENTON!" Eureka screamed. "The blood is not clotting... At this rate he'll die…" She thought.

She quickly striped Renton of his shirt and jacket, not hesitating a moment because Renton's life depended on her. Quickly and swiftly, she used Renton's shirt as a bandage and wrapped his left shoulder. It did not stop the blood from flowing though. As soon as Eureka finished bandaging the bullet wound, redness began to take over the shirt. Lifting Renton quickly but carefully onto her back, Eureka winced under Renton's weight and the pain signals from her wings.

"I must bear this…" She thought and began running towards the heart of the city, frantically looking for a hospital.

"Hold on… Renton…" Eureka gasped between breadths. Looking around, she spotted the hospital just down the street. Eureka ran down the street. Unfortunately, the street was very steep causing Eureka to lose her balance, scrap her knees, and drop Renton who in turn rolled down the street. Blood trickled from Eureka's scrapped knee.

"Damn!" Eureka panted as she got up and darted after him.

Bursting through the door of the hospital with Renton on her back, Eureka accidently knocked over a customer.

"Hey!" The customer cried. Eureka did not have time to apologize or even to glance back.

"Emergency! Please, he was shot!" Eureka cried to the nurse. The nurse's face was full of bewilderment, partly because of Eureka's appearance and Renton's blood on her hands.

"Ri, right this way Miss!" The nurse gasped as pointed to her left. "Down that hallway."

Eureka was gone before the nurse could finish.
