Love Struck

Chapter 23 - Sample Chapter

Ghost's POV

The nurses rushed into the room with a second table for me to get onto.

I can't let him die.

"You ready?" Asked the doctor.

I stood in fear. I never did this sort of thing before. I slowly looked around and the nurses stared at me in hope as the doctor waited for his answer. I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes.

"Yes." I replied.

The doctor nodded as the nurses smiled.

I quickly walked over to the table and laid down waiting as the doctor got in his position above my head.

"I need you to take off the armor and shirt." He stated.

I quickly undid my armor and shirt and toss them to the nurse who watched me with a small smile.

I quickly laid back down and waited as the doctor prepared a needle.

"I need to give you two shot's." He stated.

"Just do it. I won't let Shadow die." I stated.

The doctor nodded and put the first needle in my neck.

Whatever the shot was it made me freak a little.

I began to move around on the table too much.

"Hold him!" Shouted the doctor at the nurses.

The nurses quickly rushed me and held down my arms and legs so I wasn't moving.

"I need you to relax son. Close your eyes and breath." He stated.

I tried to regain control of myself and it took some pain but I managed to remain still long enough to be able to close my eyes.

The doctor kept the nurses on me to be sure, then he inserted part two of the needle.

"Alright son, I need to give you a dose of anesthesia." Stated the doctor.

"Do it." I ordered.

The doctor nodded and put the needle in my neck. As soon as the meds hit my blood my eyes began to fuzz up and I could feel my arms and legs relax. Slowly I looked at the doctor and he waved in front of my eyes.

"Can you hear me?" He asked.

"Ba…ely." I replied.

"I need you to close your eyes and count to five. Can you do that?" He asked me.

I shut my eyes tightly and started to count.

"One…two…three…four…five."

Doctor Miles POV

"Alright that's it! Get me my scalpel!" I ordered.

The nurse handed me a new one and I readied myself accordingly.

I quickly threw on my scrubs and just as I was about to start Logan rushed in behind me.

"What's going on Miles?" He asked.

"Your man has just risked his life to save someone else's sir. I need to start now if you want ether of them to live." I stated.

"What's their chances?" Asked Logan.

I pointed at the black and red hedgehog and replied.

"He has a good ninety percent chance."

"And Ghost?" Asked Logan.

I looked at Ghost and replied.

"He has the worst of it sir. Ghost has a solid twenty percent chance of survival." I stated.

Logan's eyes widened in shock.

"What?!" He shouted at me.

"Ghost is donating around almost half of his liver to his friend. That's way more then anyone should give in a lifetime. Shadow will be saved unless I screw up badly, but I won't don't worry. But due to the amount Ghost is giving; if his heart can't come back online after I'm finished then it's safe to say he's gone." I stated.

Logan looked at me in confusion.

"I'm sorry sir, but I need to start or those chances will go down." I stated.

Logan nodded and was guided out of the room by one of the nurses.

I quickly looked back at Ghost and leaned in on his stomach area.

The nurses watched as I prepared the incision.

Slowly I cut down Ghost's body enough so that I can peel back his skin.

Ghost was very warm. That's not a good sign to the meds.

I slowly peeled back his flaps and looked over at one of the nurses.

"Give the other patient another dose of morphine." I ordered.

She listened and quickly injected another 10mg of morphine in the black and red hedgehog.

I had to keep him alive while I did this.

I looked back inside Ghost and did my best to locate his liver.

I had to move through a few of his intestines but I finally felt my hand grip his slippery organ. I need to expose it though so I can cut precisely. I looked at the nearby nurse and she handed me a water bottle. I quickly took it and splashed some water around Ghost's liver and nearby intestines so that I could clear away the blood around.

As soon as I could see I looked at the nurse and she handed me back my scalpel. I slowly moved in and Ghost's heart rate was rising.

"Nurse!" I shouted.

"I got it!" She replied.

The nurse quickly gave Ghost another blast of morphine and slowly his heart rate dropped to normal.

I quickly went inside him and connected my blade to his liver.

Slowly I cut around it completely. He began to bleed really bad and I knew I had to make this quick.

I cut through his skin and pipes and slowly his skin broke. I cut a little more until I was about done and I splashed some more water on his insides. The blood wouldn't stop but it gave me the time I needed.

I cut and finished what was left of his liver and quickly it popped.

"POP!"

Ghost's liver popped out and I held his needed part for his friend.

I quickly handed it to the nurse and she took it to his table.

I had to save Ghost though.

I quickly patted his liver, trying to hold back the blood and I ordered the nurse to hand me a seal.

She handed it to me as fast as she could.

I got it in my hands and looked at Ghost's reading.

"-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/" His rate was going too fast.

"Morphine!" I shouted.

The nurse gave Ghost the last shot we had and his rate didn't decrease.

I quickly attached the seal to his missing section and I shut his skin flaps.

"-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/" Ghost was on the verge of….!

I sowed his flaps up and while I was watching his rate my heart stopped.

"…"

I looked at the nurses and they knew it was over for him.

I finished sealing him up and once I was done I ran over to his friend.

I couldn't let his death effect me.

Dark's POV

Keller and Walker took Kevin's body to the nearby table and started to get him undress.

"I hope you know what this means now." Stated the commander as the men got Kevin undressed.

"What?" I asked.

"Your no longer who you where before all this." Stated the commander.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Your no longer Dark. Your taking his name. Kevin." Replied the commander.

"What!?" I shouted.

"Dark is dead to the world now. Kevin's no longer Kevin he's you. Kevin's alive and your him. Your no longer Dark the hedgehog your Kevin the hedgehog." Replied the commander.

I slowly looked at Kevin.

The commander quickly took my shoulder.

"Everything you once where is dead. Keller's your commanding officer and I'm your only leader. You work at G.U.N goals but not for them. No one knows you. Keller and Walker will get you dressed then they will tell you how your new way of life is. I don't care if you like it, just get it done. I'm going now. Your first mission will be tomorrow." Stated the commander as he took his hand off my shoulder.

The commander left me alone with my new team.
