A week later.
Shilo wouldn't leave her room. She refused to eat, and she never left her bed. The lights were always off, and no one could get her to talk. Myers and Clay tried multiple times, coming in and trying to cheer her up with crayons, clothes, CD's they thought she would like; even tuna sandwiches and milk.
Nothing worked. Shilo would bathe, but she would just lay in her new black starters bra and jeans, staring up at the ceiling, tears streaming down her emotionless and energy drained face. Music drift softly from the radio. Sad and angry songs. That's all that would play.
"Come on, Shilo. Its been over a week. The Prince and Princess are fine." Shilo kept her gaze to the ceiling, ignoring Clay's pleading voice coming from the edge of her bed. Silence feel between them, before Clay let out a defeated sigh, turning and leaving out the door.
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Shilo curled up into a ball, listening to the voice of a group she'd never heard of till recently over the week. She turned on her left side, staring at the radio, softly, singing along. Tears formed and fell from her eyes, as she felt her stomach churn painfully. She needed to eat. She knew that. But she couldn't bring herself to.
Shilo, pushing past the pains in her stomach, forcefully closed her eyes tight, slowly letting herself attempt to sleep. Her eyes relaxed, as she began to feel exhaustion over-take her. Shilo was on the edge of sleep, when loud bang jolted her eyes open.
Shilo's eyes readjusted to the dark. She pushed herself up on her lrft elbow, turning to her door. A loud bang and click was heard. "Clay! open the damn door before I break it down!" Shilo stared blankly at the door, her eyes squinting and hand covering her face as the door was flung open. lite drifting into the dark room
Shilo felt a hand grab her wrist, forcefully pulling her out of her bed! Gasping and yelping in surprise, she was meet with a vision of red, as she felt herself being tucked between something hard and soft.
"Mr. Hellboy! Please! Leave me be! Put me down!" Shilo struggled, trying to pull out of Hellboy's hold on her. She felt silly. He was packing her around like a mail package, shifting her weight as she struggled and kicked.
This continued down the halls. Shilo cried out for him to release her. He simply kept walking, not even flinching when she accidently dug her claws into his side as she tried to push away.
They continued like this until Shilo was suddenly dropped on her head in a large, soft, booth. Blinking and growling softly to herself, Shilo was able to sit herself in an upright position, only to have a plate full of two tuna sandwichs, samon patties, chips, and a large glass of milk. Shilo made an attempt to push the food away, only to grunt when the table was pushed into her chest, bringing the food closer to her.
She had been brought to the Bureau wreck room. Tables and booths were everywhere, along with two pool tables to her left and vending machines to her right. Looking up from her plate, Shilo felt her ears drop back against her skull. Hellboy and Liz sat in-front of her. Next to Liz was Abe and the whitish blond haired Princess, Nuala. Shilo felt her stomach drop to the floor as Nuada, his right shoulder looking healed, stood away, leaning against one of the pool tables.
"I'm not hungry." Shilo pressed herself deep into the round, cushioned, booth. She kept her gaze away from the older crowd, ignoring the growl from Hellboy, who was silenced by Liz placing a hand on his shoulder. Liz motioned something to Hellboy, who scooted out of the booth, helping Liz onto her feet. She placed her hand lovingly on Hellboy's chest, before she turned away from her boyfriend to Shilo.
With alot of work, Liz was able to lower herself into the booth next to Shilo. "Shilo... You need to eat. No one is mad at you for what happened." Liz reached out to Shilo's left ear, attempting to calm the girl. Shilo jolted her hand away from Liz's touch. Liz let her hand hover towards her for a second, before she let out a sigh, placing her hand on the table.
Shilo glared down at the table, blocking the room out. She stared at claws, remembering the blood that had stained them. She clinched her small fist, lowering her head. Shilo heard and felt Liz being moved away from her. Shilo stared at her clinched hands. Her mind replaying the event over and over again.
"Eat." Shilo was yanked from her memories as a sandwich was suddenly held up to her mouth. She stared at the sandwich, confused, before she turned to its holder. Shilo felt her stomach churn, as she found Prince Nuada sitting beside her. His face was emotionless, his eyes dull, as he continued to hold the sandwich to her face.
Out of the corner of her right eye, Shilo saw Hellboy cross his arms over his chest, a frown on his face. "Hey Princy! You really think you can get her to eat? She wouldn't even take food from me! What makes ya think she'll take it from the one she's upset about?" Shilo's gaze fell back to the Prince, who seemed to ignore Hellboy's question.
"Please eat something, little one. Please!" Shilo turned to Nuala, who reached out her hand and placed it on the table over her right hand. Her eyes showing concern, as Abe held her by her shoulder.
Shilo turned back to the Prince, who had not lowered the offer sandwich. Shilo felt a tears stream from her eyes, as she slowly grasped the sandwich from the Prince. She held it to her mouth, as she slowly bit into it. Chewing it up slowly, Shilo swallowed the small bit and hiccuped. "Thank-you, Prince Nuada." Shilo whispered, taking another hiccuped bite of the sandwich.
Shilo heard a slight growl from Hellboy, as he turned away from the Prince, who pulled himself gracefully out of his spot next to Shilo, taking to stand next to Hellboy. Shilo lowered her head slightly. She knew she'd upset Red. He had tried so hard this week to get her to eat.
As Shilo finished the last bit of her sandwich, she'd just picked up her glass when a strange smell and noise caught her attention. Practically dropping the full cup of milk on the table, Shilo's ears shot up, her nose wrinkling and eyes widening, as she wiped her gaze to Liz, who was clutching her stomach, her face pale!
Liz's right hand clutched the table, as she began to shake, her left hand on her stomach! "Red!" Liz groaned, causing Hellboy to reach out and pull her shoulder to his chest. Liz's breathing became heavy and shaky, as she turned to Abe and Nuala, who were instantly at her side, to Hellboy, who's eyes were wide with worry and fear.
"Red! Its time!"
Shilo felt her eyes widen, as Hellboy gently picked Liz up bridal style. Abe and Nuala, who was clutching her own stomach, quickly rushed ahead of Hellboy, who ordered Nuada to go find Doc! Without a word, Nuada left. Hellboy gently kissed Liz's forehead, as he pushed through the wreck room's swinging doors.
He turned back to Shilo, who looked helpless and confused. Liz let out another groan, burying her head into Hellboy's shoulder. Shilo's stomach churned as she ran up beside Hellboy, knowing it was her he was waiting for.
The three of them exited through the door, making their way towards the hospital wing.
Here come the babies!!! Sorry this one isnt as long as my others. But I wanted a small lead up chapter to the birth of the twins!
