Chapter twelve: No Blood Left

:At Shadow's House:

Shadow laid out side in the backyard, remembering the pain he went through to give up his heart. All the memories were coming back.

:Flashback:

Shadow went down to the underworld and the devil saw him arrive.

"So you came?" the devil said.

"Yes," Shadow said.

"This won't hurt a bit," the devil said.

Then the devil's hand went through Shadow's chest and grabbed his heart. Shadow screamed at the pain. Then the devil pulled hi heart out and Shadow collapsed. The devil whispered in his ear. "Find the one that caused you pain and I will give you back your heart." then a beast appeared and began to chase him. When he ran into a maze.

Shadow was be chased like a animal. He was in a maze. It was a place he remember when he was seven. He hid in a meadow. The beast followed his scent. Shadow laid in the grass and was hidden pretty good.

"Come out," the beast said. His voice was like Scar's voice.

"Come out, Shadow," the beast said, still sounding like Scar.

Then the beast stopped dead in it's tracks. It sniffed and found Shadow. Shadow tried to run, but he was pinned to the ground. The beast licked it's lips.

"You look delicious," the beast said.

"Get off me!" Shadow yelled.

"Hold still this wouldn't hurt a bit. Shadow," the beast said

Then the beast grew long white fangs. The beast was a vampire! He bit Shadow on the neck while holding him down. Shadow screamed. The pain was horrible! He wanted to stop. The more he wanted to stop the more the vampire looked like Scar. When he was done he was Scar.

"See? The pain will go with you forever. Never doubt that Shadow," the vampire said and faded.

Leaving Shadow laying in the black meadow and he woke with a start. The beast was gone and Shadow thought that was weird.

"What the?" Shadow said. He looked at his eyes in a pool of water. His eyes were black. Then he laughed.

"Look out Scar. I'm coming for you," Shadow said and took off running.

:End of Flashback:

The pain was unbelievable. Shadow felt a pain in his chest and hugged himself. His head was pounding. Then he started screaming in pain. Then Mimi and Mike came out. The two heard a voice. It was Shadow's. We have to find Scar. It's the only way I can calm down! That's what the voice said.

"Hang on," Mimi said. She took out one arrow and cut her wrist.

"Whoa, whoa. What are you doing?" Mike asked. Mimi put her wrist next to Shadow's mouth and dripped blood into his mouth. He began to relaxed and grabbed her wrist and licked it clean and the wound was gone.

"Thanks," shadow said.

"No problem," Mimi said.

"We need to find Scar and end my vampire curse," Shadow said, as he got up he almost fell back down, but Mike caught him.

"Not until your healed," Mike said.

"But-"

"No buts," Mike interrupted.

:At Johan's House:

"Jehu. Time to wake up beautiful," Haou said.

"I'm up. My love," Jehu said.

The two were in the meadow taking a little nap. The two slept for hours and it was night time. The meadow was a perfect place to take a break from Johan and Judai's pranks. The boys has pulled all the pranks of the world. The two just couldn't stop. When they get a good laugh they keep going on what makes them laugh.

"At least Judai and Johan don't come here often," Jehu said.

"Yeah. I know," Haou said.

"Man, it sure is pretty," Jehu said.

"Yeah, sure is," Haou said.

"Hey, Haou?" Jehu said.

"Yeah?" Haou said.

"What if Vimpera gets you?" Jehu asked.

"She won't. Cause I wouldn't let her. She knows she can't take me from you," Haou said.

"Okay," Jehu said half believing.

"I love you," Haou said.

"I love you too," Jehu said.

Then Jehu laid his head on Haou stomach and fell asleep. Haou watched his sleeping angel. Jehu's hair glowed in moonlight. Jehu body was outlined in the moonlight. Haou stroked his hair and Jehu crawled closer to Haou. Haou laid on the grass and fell a sleep.

:With Scar:

Scar laid in his nest and was sound asleep until his brother came in and barked to get Scar's attention. Scar opened his gray storm cloud eyes and got up.

"What?" scar asked.

"We need your help," Andrew said.

"With what?" Scar asked.

"Your human friends are in the meadow and there asleep," Andrew said.

"Which ones?" Scar asked.

"Haou and Jehu," Andrew said.

Scar followed his brother to the meadow and Scar saw Jehu sleeping and so was Haou. Scar was smiling at his friends peaceful figures. He asked his brother to make to new nest and make sure they were conformable. Andrew nodded and went to tell the others. Scar stayed staring at his friends and heard Jehu whisper.

"Shadow is going to bite Scar," Jehu whispered

Scar gasped and remembered what Shadow said. Did you think I loved you? I hate you! The words made Scar whimper. He wanted the old Shadow. Not the demon that replaced him. He missed Shadow's smile and everything. He longed for Shadow and him to play games like they used too. Then the moon came out. Scar howled and while he did he woke Jehu.

"Scar?" Jehu said.

"Hey pal," Scar said.

"You okay?" Jehu asked.

"You said 'Shadow is going to bite me.' I hope he doesn't," Scar said.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have said it," Jehu said.

"Come on. Wake sleepilybut up. We got some beds for you two," Scar got up and lead Jehu. Who woke Haou by kissing his cheek.

The three waked all the way to the camp Scar and Andrew lived. Jehu was lead to the beds with Haou right behind him. The two saw the bed. To tell the truth it was a nest in a bed form. It was made of grass and leaves.

"Enjoy," Scar said.

"Where do you sleep?" Jehu asked.

"With Snow," Scar said and walked off. The two boys laid in the bed and slept soundly.

:At Shadow's house:

Shadow laid there and read a book on how to kill someone by cutting them. Then Nick came in and laid next to him and looked at the book.

"Nice book, Shadow," Nick said.

"Don't you have to train with Mike?" Shadow asked a little annoyed.

"Yeah, but I thought I ditch," Nick said.

"Well, your annoying me," Shadow said.

Then the door flew open and Mike came in and grabbed Nick by the hair and dragged him out of the room. Shadow thanked Mike quietly. Then Mimi came in and closed the book.

"Get your swimsuit. We are going to the beach," Mimi said.

"What?" Shadow said.

"You heard me. Come on you need a break," Mimi said.

"Alright. I haven't been to a beach since I was 12 yrs old," Shadow said and got up and stretched.

"Come on. Let's go," Mimi said and grabbed Shadow and dragged him out of his room.

The second they got to the beach Mike and Nick scared all the people away so they got the beach to themselves. The two of them grabbed a volleyball and went to play volleyball. Mimi went into the water and Shadow followed her. The second he got in the water he dived underwater. Then Mimi saw him and grabbed her and gave her a hug. Then they got back to the surface.

"You like that?" Shadow asked.

"Heck ya. I love you Shadow," Mimi said.

"I love you, too, Mimi," Shadow said.

He hugged his girlfriend and kissed her cheek. Then the sun began to sink and the gang grabbed there stuff and went home. They started talking about how much fun they had.

"Let's get Scar," Mimi said.

Shadow went to Jehu house and Jehu and Scar were talking along with Haou. Then Scar saw Shadow and ran outside after him. Shadow was standing the backyard. Shadow charged and Scar wasn't quick enough. Shadow grabbed him and put his mouth by his neck.

"Before I do this. I want to say sorry," Shadow said

Then Shadow dug his fangs into Scar's neck. Scar yelled in pain. The pain felt horrible! He wanted Shadow to stop.

"Shadow! Stop! Please!" Scar screamed as another wave of pain washed over him.

"Scar I am sorry," Shadow whispered and stopped.

Scar hit the ground in pure pain. Shadow sat next to him. He prayed to god that Scar wouldn't turn. Thank god, he didn't. Scar laid on the ground sleeping peacefully. Like nothing had happened. He kissed Scar's cheek and whispered the words he wanted to tell Scar.

"I'm sorry. I was being stupid when I said I hated you. I love you more than anything. I wish things would be different. Bye, Scar," Shadow said as he faded into the night, leaving a crying Scar behind.

"I wish I could tell you what I wanted to say. I love you more than my life Shadow," Scar whispered. Then Jehu and Haou came running after dealing with the gang and saw Scar on the ground.

"SCAR!" Jehu and Haou said at the same time.

"Hey, guys," Scar said.

"Are you okay?" Jehu asked.

"I'm fine," Scar said. Then Andrew came out and Snow was with him.

"Scar!" Snow said.

"Hi, Snow," Scar said.

"What happened?" Snow demeaned.

"I was clumsy and hit a branch," Scar lied.

"Okay. Come on let's get you home," Snow said. Andrew helped and they went home with Scar no Andrew's back.

I love you Shadow. I wish you could hear me, Scar said in his head. While his brother carried him home.
