"Code red! Code red!"
Shilo jumped, her head snapping towards the red, glowing, alarm signal. Her eyes were wide, as she slowly relaxed, turing back to the twins, who were staring at her with curious eyes, before their mother yelled for them to get ready. The twins, with one last glance at her, turned and ran back into their rooms.
Shilo stared at the spot they had been standing, before she was jolted from her thoughts by Myers motioning her out of Hellboy and Liz's room, and down the hallway. Her ears twitched, and her eyes darted around as she was lead down hallway after hallway. down stairway after stairway, before she and Myers emerged into what appeared to be a loading dock.
Shilo's eyes widened, as a large garbage truck was being driven into a very large plane! Her tail swished curiously, as she took a step towards the plane, her nose twitching in the scent of the planes motor.
"Furball?! When the hell did you get here?!" Shilo ears flattened back against her skull, as she groaned softly, turning towards the familiar voice. "Hello, Mr. Manning," Shilo said, as the man made his way towards her. "It's good to see you again." Shilo said, noting that the man looked much older, and was now sporting a black walking cane.
"When did you and that damn elf get back?" He asked in a surprisingly calm tone. Shilo blinked at him a few times, before answering. "Just about an hour ago, sir." Manning let out a long sigh, as he rubbed his bald head, before bring his hand down his face. "Next time, please come to my office and inform me of your return. I cant have you two wondering around the BPRD without me knowing." Shilo nodded, surprised at how calm and collected Manning was being. Age seemed to have chipped away at the Manning who pulled her tail seventeen years ago.
"Hey Shilo? Ya comin' or not?" Shilo heard Red exclaim, as he emerged from a set of stairways opposite of the ones she'd come down. Turning to Manning, Shilo silently asked if she was allowed to leave. Manning simply jolted his head towards the plane, before walking past her.
Smiling, Shilo followed him to the plane, grabbing Hellboy's stone hand, as he lifted her up onto the plane with ease. "Come on, kid! Time to fight some monsters. Ya ready for yer first BPRD mission." Hellboy asked, a proud grin on his face, Shilo smiled up at him, nodding softly as her and Hellboy stepped into the cargo bay of the plane.
Shilo took a look around the large bay, her eyes taking in the garbage truck in the back, to the large trucks with crates on the back of them. Her eyes scanned the room with happy curiosity, until they landed on three figures in the back, sitting on the cargo bays large benches.
Her ears twitched anxiously and her tail swished back and forth harshly. She took a step towards the trio, as her eyes took in the two closes to her.
One, obviously a girl, had long, mid-back length, black hair that was pulled back in a braided ponytail. She had fairly light, almost pink, red skin. On her forehead were two disc like bumps, which Shilo guessed were her cut down down horns. From her distance from the girl, Shilo could just make out the girls coffee brown eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt and cami jeans with a brown, standard, BPRD belt with a large rosary hanging fom the belt. On her feet were a pair of brown combat boots. She looked to be about Shilo's height, and had a small smile on her pretty face as a red tail swished behind her, and her stone right hand played with her belt loop.
The other, who was as red and tall as Hellboy, had long, wild, black hair pulled into a samurai ponytail at the base of his neck. He had two discs like bumps on his forehead, and a large, red, right hand made of stone. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black leather jeans, and a black BPRD belt with a large, silver, rosary hanging from the belt. On his feet were a pair of black combat boots. From her spot, Shilo could easily make out a pair of golden eyes, as the boy pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lighting it up with a flame that appeared on his flesh left hand. Shilo watched as his tail hung lazily against his lap, as he took a drag.
The last of the treo was a boy with pale, blue, skin and pointed, elf like, fin ears that were a darker blue than his skin. He had a pointed nose and large black eyes that blinked behind shoulder length blonde, almost white, hair. He was wearing a dark, royal blue, diving suit and the standard BPRD belt was hooked around his waist. He seemed to be slightly younger than the other two, and had a sparkle in his eye as he talked to the girl.
"Shilo!" The cat demoness hissed and jumped, as Hellboy came up beside her. He had his gun, the Samaritan, in his hand as he looked from her to the three sitting away from them. "So Abe and Nuala had a boy?" Shilo asked with a smile, as she watched the three laugh and wave their hands around as they continued to converse with each other.
"Yep. One of Blue's proudest days." Hellboy grunted, as the smell of the ever familiar cigar drifted into her nostrils, pulling a smile from her. Even though the smell was foul and made her sick... Shilo had missed it. She had missed Red and the others dearly. Being back with them made Shilo feel complete. She had missed that feeling.
"Whats his name?" Shilo finally asked, breaking the silence between the two, as she gave the demon a questioning look. Hellboy frowned. "Princy never told ya about the kid?" Shilo could hear annoyance in Red's voice and see it in his eyes as she shook her head. "No. Master Nuada never told me that Nuala had given birth to a boy or his name. Only that the birth had been successful." It was true. Nuada had not once shown or given Shilo any clue about his nephew. She had tried to ask him about it once, but he had changed the subject around to her needing to go practice her meditation.
Hellboy gave a grunt of what sounded like annoyance. "Princy wasn't exactly thrilled with the kid obtaining some of brother blues features," Hellboy explained. "I think it disappointed him. Bettin' he was hopin' to pass the kid off as an elf on elf born." Shilo could hear the disgust in Hellboys voice, and she felt her stomach drop. Her Master could be such a harsh one. "I see. Thats awfully sad..." She mumbled, earning a nod from Hellboy, who patted her on the back softly with his stone hand.
"But even though ol' Princy's got a stick up his ass about the boy, Lincoln doesn't give up on trying ta be as good a fighter as him. Kid idiolizes his uncle. Cant see why." At this Shilo smiled, as she looked back at the half Ichthyo sapien, half elf boy. "Lincoln...I like it. Very clever, yet original, on Abe and Nuala's part." She laughed, earning a shrug from Hellboy. "I was hopin' they would name the boy after me. But I guess Lincoln works."
At this Shilo couldn't help but laugh, as Hellboy gave her a chuckle of his own. God how Shilo had missed the BPRD. How she had missed it so.
Wiping the tears of laughter from her eyes, Shilo smiled as Hellboy lightly pushed her towards the trio. "Well go on, kid. Go make friends. Me? I'm gonna go check on Liz if ya need me." And with that, Hellboy playfully ruffled her hair, before turning and making his way towards the front of the plane.
Hellboy watched until he disappeared, before turning her attention back to the trio of paranormal teenagers. She took a deep breath and sighed, before making her way towards them. It was now or never.
....SORRY! SOOO SORRY!
*Bows and prays for mercy* My only excuse is that I got disinterested with Hellboy for a brief time and kind left the story.
But now I'm hoping to come back and continue!
So please enjoy the long update Ive given you!
