I have exciting news guys! After months of fighting the legal system I…. do not own Static shock!
Point of no return
Ellie was the first person awake today. Most days she slept in until at least noon but something stirred her awake today. The sun had barely risen, leaving the sky a lavender blue color. In the past two weeks she had learned more about some of Dakota's most wanted and risked everything she had to protect them. After placing a long black robe over her pajamas, Ellie quietly walked into the kitchen. Shiv was asleep on the couch after a night full of mountain dew and videogames.
As she reached for a coffee cup, she felt as if she were being watched. No sooner had she placed the cup onto the counter, a mass of swirling purple and black appeared before her. Ellie let out a scream, waking all inhabitants of her apartment. As the purple smoke cleared, Ebon grabbed Ellie.
"Ellie it's been too long home girl. I see you kept my crew under wraps for me." Ellie struggled to get away from him only to be pulled closer.
"Ebon get off of me I'm not your home girl or your girlfriend anymore."
The room was silent. Shiv and Talon looked at each other before responding. "You know him?" they questioned. Ellie blushed for a moment before explaining. "I was young and stupid. I joined a gang to defy my parents and Ebon's gang was the only gang looking for recruits at the time." She turned away as he pulled her closer. "Had I known that I was going to be gang raped by him and his buddies I would've never ever taken the offer to join no strings attached."
Francis was peering through an open crack in the door. His first plan was to attack Ebon head on. As he thought about it he realized that he didn't want to hurt Ellie. She had grown on him since she took them in and hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do. He looked back out at Ebon still holding Ellie. She was silently crying.
Ebon looked over at Shiv and Talon. "Take whatever money you can find and any food. Try anything and I will kill her." This was the part of the breed neither of them really liked. Ellie had helped them, given them food and shelter. Now they were supposed to rob her.
Alas, they had no choice; they began packing food into a bag and searching for money. Francis watched as they silently obeyed. He began to pace the floor stopping at the dresser. A cell phone was sitting there. Francis could use it to call the police. It would get Ebon to let Ellie but could possibly get the four of them arrested. He took a deep breath and picked up the phone. Immediately he called the police, gave them a location, and a reason to haul ass.
As he hung up the phone the door busted open. Ebon was standing in front of Francis.
"Don't try anything of I'll kill the bitch!" screamed Ebon.
"Too late I already called the cops." Ebon let Ellie free and reached for Francis.
"You idiot that's suicide, what the hell were you thinking?" Ellie took the opportunity to run out of the way. Sirens were heard from in the street. Soon sparky and nerd boy would be there. Ebon emerged from the room and grabbed Talon and Shiv. He left in the same puff of smoke he came in.
Ellie ran for the bedroom. Francis was lying half awake on the floor. Blood was everywhere including a wound in the center of his abdomen. Cops were on their way up and Ellie didn't want either of them to get caught. As a knock came on the door Ellie dragged Francis' limp body into a walk-in closet and placed him behind a few boxes. No one would find him there unless they followed the blood trail. She smiled knowing that it would be near impossible to find blood stains on a crimson red floor. She let the cps in and let them take any evidence that they wanted.
As soon as they left she ran to closet. "I didn't mean to leave you in the dark there. I'll get you fixed up and you can stay here."
The wound wasn't as bad as she had thought. It wasn't very deep and in no way life threatening. Ellie placed Francis back in the bed after clean up and began to leave him alone. As she turned out the light she smiled and whispered "thank you". Now Ellie and Francis were even.
And now a word from your sponsors: Oh boy I owe my readers an apology. I got caught up in summer and college finals. First off I'm suggesting that if you haven't already; go read the novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Graham- Smith. Good Book. Next I'm going to warn you that this very well may be the last chapter of this fanfic. I may add a final epilogue like chapter and make follow up fanfics to match it. Also the last weekend of July (29- August 1) I will be at Otakon, Baltimore anime convention and may very well find the only static shock cosplayer I've seen. This means I won't be posting any updates to this or any other stories in the two weeks to come. If I get time I will but don't count on it. As always read it review it love it and leaves some cookies out for Cthulhu.
