Authors Notes: Toby needed to go, I'm sorry but its true, he was miserable, he is now with his mother, he'll be happier now. Also it was always my plan to do that, I'm sorry. I also apologise for not being able to update in a while, I am a terrible writer.
We're Not Your Lab Rats!
Who'd she shoot? Everyone had either turned away, or scrunched their eyes shut. At that moment the only one feeling pain was Maddy, and that was because of Whitewoods knife wound on her upper stomach. But now there was two people dead, not just injured, like Maddy, but dead like Toby, who had forced Whitewood to kill him. Those images would never leave Maddy's mind, seeing Toby do that, seeing the look of shock on everyones face and then watching him fall lifelessly out of Whitewoods grasp. To think, all of this was because of that woman. Maddy slowly opened her eyes, she'd gotten panicky when she thought, maybe someone important to her had been shot. Se felt arms encircle around her, looking up she saw both Tom and Shannon, Shannon was shaking like a leaf and Tom was doing his best to keep both girls calm. Maddy tried to look and see who'd been shot but with both her friends crowded around her like she was something precious that mustn't be touched, she couldn't see anything. She began to panic more. Struggling to project her voice over all the crying and screaming from all around them, "What happened? Who did she shoot?" Maddy asked eventually managing to get her voice out loud enough.
Shannon opened her eyes slightly, letting the tears fall, "Y-you don't to know, Mads." Shannon managed, though she struggled. Maddy's eyes widened in horror, it was one of the others. She didn't care if one of the policemen ad been shot, but one of the other Wolfbloods... Rhydian.
"W-what? Shannon? Who did Whitewood shoot?" When no response came from Maddy's female best friend, tears filled Maddy's vision making everything become blurry, "Rhydian." She whispered, pushing both Tom and Shannon away before they could respond, she was scared of the answer herself, but as she pushes them away and begins to crawl... another gunshot is heard, and another body falls to the floor. Maddy's blurred vision from tears meant she couldn't see who it was. "Rhydian!" she cries, hoping to recieve a response. She didn't hear Ceri cry out for her lost 'beautiful boy', maybe it wasn't him, but she knew that someone had been shot... or at least something.
More arms encircled around Maddy and she winced in pain. "Mads, its ok, I'm here. Just stay still so Tom... or, or the police can patch you up." Rhydian whispers into her ear, she relaxes slightly, but panics. Rhydian senses her change in mood and quickly informs her more, "She's gone Mads, Witchwood is gone... you can come back for good now."
She relaxes once more. But a feeling of confusion is stuck within. "But... who'd she shoot first?" she asked him, gripping onto his arm, he rubbed her back soothingly. Her wound causing it hard for her to be comfortable in the position she was in now. "Th-there were two... two gun shots." She added. The police had called for help, to get the bodies away from the scene. For paramedics to come and help all the victims who had been injured.
"The first was just a warning shot. But the police didn't stop, and she... she killed herself. The police are getting the paramedics, you're going to be fine... I promise." He says reassuringly, leaning down slightly and placing a soft kiss on Maddy's forehead. She groaned as his body accidentally pressed against her open wound. "Sorry." He whispered as he noticed her shift. He tried his best to make her comfortable, by lying her down gently on his lap. He looked up at an officer who was slowly approaching, his eyes watery as the man crouched down in front of Rhydian, "How long will they be?" he asked in desperation.
"They will be here as soon as they can, but you might want to leave her alone until they arrive." The officer told Rhydian, but nothing convinced Rhydian to leave Maddy, he felt hands grip his upper arm trying to pull him away from Maddy, but he snatched it back in anger, allowing a little quiet growl to leave his lips. Daniel approached with a sad look on his face.
"Come on, lad, lets leave them to do their job. Mads will be fine... remember, you promised her she would be, and I know you won't let her down, so come on." Daniel tried, offering his hand for Rhydian to take, but he feared for his daughter. Rhydian shook his head letting his eyes get even more teary, but never letting the tears actually fall. He didn't want to let go, not again. The wound was already beginning to get infected from lack of antibiotics.
"Rhydian, mate, if you don't let them do their job, Mads will get worse, and she won't make it till tonight." Daniel's soft voice reminded Rhydian of the full moon tonight, and in the state she was in, Maddy wouldn't be able to transform, so the best option was the hospital.
But the only thing that they had to worry about was if they took a blood test. No doubt that since it is a rather deep cut that Whitewood caused there will be blood tests to see if there was any infection. But it was better than letting Maddy die. There'd be three deaths in one day... one of them would be Maddy... No! Rhydian didn't care if there was a blood test involved.
Maddy had to survive this.
In the time she'd been back, Rhydian hadn't even told her he loved her... not properly, and he wanted desperatly to kiss her. He hadn't done that either. No time, what with Whitewood disturbing them everytime they got any free time together.
Authors Notes: So this is kind of just a filler, since I haven't updated in a while, so it doesn't really explain why Toby dies. But it does mean that I don't leave you hanging forever. But I don't know if this will make any sense... I'm sorry. Please tell me what you think... not long till Christmas, WOOHOO!
