Chapter 7
Shadow P.O.V.
I screamed, trying to dive towards Silent, but Raymond and Nora got stopped me. I screamed again. I wouldn't let them take him, I Couldn't let them take him. I folded my wings in, dropping down several hundred feet, then dived towards the erasers. I was at the ground in seconds, tackling an eraser and bashing its head into the ground. I stood and ran towards the nearest eraser. I side kicked it in the stomach then kneed it in the face. It fell to the ground. The other had come to the ground now, and were attempting to take out as many erasers as possible. I saw a group of erasers dragging Silent to the semitruck and ran at them.
An eraser stepped in my way a maybe 20 feet away from them. I charged the eraser, stopped a few feet away and round house kicked at his temple, but he blocked it with ease. I tried punching him in the stomach but he caught my hand and twisted it, forcing my to turn, and he got behind me, holding my arm behind my back in a painful position. Nora came up behind the eraser and snapped it's neck. The eraser dropped to the ground as I started running towards the erasers dragging Silent but it was too late, he was in the back of the semitruck with the erasers and it started driving away.
We took care of the rest of the erasers then left the trashed intersection. I took to the air, attempting to follow the truck but it was too late. It was out of sight and there was no way of following it. Without Silent we were screwed. There was no way we could make it into the school without him. I knew it was true. After we gathered what we could from the trashed van, we took off heading north, away from the Lab.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2 weeks later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had gone all the way to the border of Canada, then turned west, towards Washington where we camped out in a hotel in Seattle until the it happened. We were in a park when all of a sudden Silent came walking out of the trees to our left. I gasped. It couldn't have been him, he was taken to the lab though!
"Stop Silent!" Someone called out from the trees. It was a White coat from the lab. He walked out of the trees, followed by Elaina and several large erasers.
"What? Silent, run!" I yelled, but he stood there passively.
"This isn't the Silent you use to know. The Silent you knew was a . . . A beta version of Silent, this is the Alpha version. He's faster, stronger, smarter, and more cooperative. He doesn't know who you are. He only listens to my orders."
"Well, I doubt he can even beat me even now that he's faster, stronger, and smarter." I said. The white coat made a motion, and Silent ran towards me insanely fast.
I ducked under a punch, and side stepped another one. I punched three times in succession at his stomach, then took three steps back. Silent took 2 steps forward then round house kicked twards my temple, which I blocked with extreme difficulty. The white coat wasn't lying about him being improved. I made a motion like I was going to round house kick him but turned and side kicked his stomach. He doubled over as I landed the blow. I kneed at his face, but he stood up straight trying to regain his breath. I kicked at his knee which he blocked, and the I kicked at his shoulder, and he blocked that kick to and then I kicked at his face, he over estimated the speed of the kick and swiped infront of his face to early and I kicked him in the face, making him fall backwards to the ground.
I pinned him to the ground, and looked around. Nora was on the ground, knocked out, the white coat was on the ground with a collapsed rib cage, blood gushing from his mouth and the erasers' necks had all been snapped. I ounched silent in the face, knocking him out. Raymond came over and looked down at him.
"He put up a fight didn't he." Raymond said. I nodded. I grabbed Silent's arms and Raymond grabbed his legs. Together he brought him to the car we had hijacked somewhere in North Dakota. We drove back to the hotel, carried Nora and Silent in though the back and up to our room. we tied them to chairs and went about, trying to prepare food and water and cloths and other things of great need for the long journey that was going to come when Silent and Nora woke up again. We were going to take out the lab once and for all.
