Love Struck

Chapter 76 - Don't

Ghost's POV

We slowly made our way back to our room with both Midnight and Shadow's son.

In my head I was angry and I knew Dove was too.

Suddenly as we walked through the halls Dove stopped me.

I stared into her purple eyes and she said.

"We can't do this."

I nodded.

"I know, but Amy just…!" She cut me off.

"I don't care! Shadow just had his son, he needs to spend time with him!" She stated.

I nodded again and asked.

"Amy just died. What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to go and talk to him. I'll watch his son for now, but make him feel better." She begged.

"What makes you think I can do that?" I asked.

"Your like his big brother. I'm sad believe me, but we need him. Please just try." She begged.

I smiled and leaned in on her soft lips.

Slowly I gave her a kiss and again Midnight shouted.

"Ewwwwww!"

We chuckled and slowly I walked off.

As I walked back to Shadow's room I tried to find out something to say. This is all so fast. Amy gave birth, died and now it's like no one cares. I expected more from Dove at the least. I'll talk to her later.

I stopped in front of Shadow's door and gently knocked.

Shadow's POV

"Just do it!" I ordered myself as I tried to turn the gun.

I couldn't get it on my head so I tried the next best thing.

As tears rolled down my cheeks I slowly moved the barrel of the gun towards my mouth.

It was easier. Slowly I opened widely and slipped the cold meta inside.

I grasped the trigger and I felt myself losing control.

Slowly I mumbled my sadness over the gun and tears slipped into my mouth leaving their salty taste behind.

"Just pull the trigger!" I shouted in my mind as my finger went for the trigger.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

I immediately took the gun away and stared at the door.

"Shadow you ok?" Asked Ghost from the other side.

My heart raced but I had no choice.

"What do you want!?" I asked.

"Can I come in and talk to you for a little?" He replied.

I stared at the gun and slowly put it under the pillow.

"Yeah! Come in, the door is open!" I stated as I leaned up on the bed.

Ghost slowly entered and the minute he appeared before my vision I asked.

"What?"

Ghost looked at me as if I was playing dumb.

"Come on brother you know what." He stated.

I slowly looked away.

"I'm so sorry she's gone but…!" I cut him off.

"What if she is fighting those tests!?" I asked.

Ghost stopped and slowly got next to me on the bed.

"You know we can't do anything." He stated.

"We can! We can help her!" I shouted trying to convince him.

Ghost looked at me as if I was crazy.

"You know I would love to, but you heard what the man said; we can't go back." He stated.

"What if that's our choice!?" I asked.

"What choice?" Asked Ghost.

"We have a choice to make the man said. He told me it was about my baby boy. What if we need to go and save Amy in order to save my child!?" I asked.

Ghost lowered his head.

"Shadow, I highly doubt that is our test." He replied.

"Why not!?" I shouted at him.

Ghost gently placed his arm on my leg and replied.

"That man has tested us against really fucked up things. I had to cut my baby out and you had to kill Maria and Amy! I'm pretty sure saving Amy so that your baby boy can live with a mother is no our test. It would be something hard and something we wouldn't and couldn't do."

"But what if it is!?" I asked.

"Then what do you want me to do!?" Shouted Ghost as he got in my face.

I slowly put my hand under the pillow and replied.

"You could kill me and I could help Amy!" I replied.

Ghost widened his eyes and replied.

"Fuck no! I'm not killing you!"

"Why not!?" I asked.

Ghost jumped up and replied.

"That is not something I ever want to do again! We both know that is not what we have to do!"

I slowly got up and I had the gun in my hand.

Quickly I took his hand and forced it into his grip.

Ghost stared at me in shock.

"Just do it." I begged.

Ghost held the gun by my force and replied.

"Your crazy! I'm not doing this!"

"But I can save her! All you need to do is pull the trigger!" I stated while forcing his hand up.

It got close to my face and Ghost immediately grabbed his hand and began to pull away.

"Stop Shadow!" He ordered.

"I can help her!" I shouted while raising it back up.

Ghost panicked as it got closer and he let go and swung at my face.

His fist hit my cheek and I fell with the gun in my hand.

I quickly looked back at him with a bloody lip.

Ghost approached me and went for the gun.

I quickly raised it at my head and he took my hand.

"STOP!" He ordered.

"LET GO!" I ordered.

"IT'S NOT GOING TO BRING HER BACK!" Stated Ghost as I kicked him in the chest knocking him down.

I accidentally unloaded the clip and it fell hitting the ground.

I panicked and immediately went for it.

Ghost instantly jumped at me and the clip was knocked away across the room.

We stared at each other and we both leaped to our sides for the clip.

Ghost hit it with the tips of his fingers and I quickly smash his hand into the floor while raising my other trying to take the mag in my hand.

Ghost panicked and raised his elbow into my stomach causing me to flinch in pain as he tackled me onto the ground.

I reached for the clip as Ghost held my arms down and he lifted his fist up.

I quickly looked back as he swung at me.

Immediately I turned to my left causing him to miss. Ghost then released my other arm and tried to swung but this time I had him.

I quickly hit him in the face with my head and he grabbed his nose as I swung my hand.

Ghost took it to his cheek and fell onto the ground as I jumped for the clip.

I grabbed it in my hand as Ghost went to tackle me again.

He connected his shoulder to my side sending me back and he quickly held me down again.

"STOP THIS!" He ordered.

"I NEED TO SAVE HER!" I shouted at him.

I quickly overpowered him and tossed him over me with my knee and I quickly ran for the gun.

I took it in my right hand and loaded the clip.

Quickly I went to raise it and Ghost tackled me from behind.

The gun was sent through the air as I hit the wall.

My back smash into the side as Ghost pinned me on the floor.

The gun hit the floor and Ghost let me go to leap at the gun.

As he went to pick it up I jump as well taking the other end in my hands.

"LET GO!" I ordered him.

"THIS IS NOT THE WAY!" He screamed as the gun aimed at the door.

As we fought our fingers wrapped the trigger and as he went for the last tug the door opened.

We turned as Dove rushed in.

"What the hell is going on…!"

"BANG!"

The gun went off sending the bullet straight into Dove's chest.

We both widened our eyes in shock as she fell back hitting the floor.

We both released the gun letting it hit the floor and immediately Ghost ran to her.

Ghost's POV

"NO!" I screamed as I fell down next to Dove who was bleeding out on the wood floor.

I gently took her head and lifted her up so that she was looking at me.

I cried as blood came up from her mouth.

"COME ON BABY DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" I begged as I held the wound.

As the blood came out from under my hands I looked at Shadow who remained in the center of the room.

"FUCKING HELP ME!" I ordered him.

Shadow didn't move as Dove coughed up blood.

"UGHHHH!"

It hit my fur and I stared into her eyes.

"STAY WITH ME! MEDIC!" I screamed into the hall.

As Dove lowered her head I looked at Shadow again.

"HELP ME SHADOW!" I begged in tears.

Shadow remained frozen as I screamed.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

I immediately looked back into Dove's eyes as she began to fade away.

"PLEASE HONEY STAY AWAKE!" I begged as I looked into the hall.

"MEDIC!" I screamed.

No one came as Dove shut her eyes gently.

She stopped breathing and I began to shake in disapproval.

"NO! DOVE! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!" I begged as I pushed on her wound.

Dove stopped breathing and I froze in place as Shadow remained in the center of the room in shock.

I stared into her eyes letting my tears hit her fur as medics rushed to my aid.

They got on their knees and began to try and get Dove to open her eyes, but she wouldn't.

I slowly felt a new type of rage come up and I began to shake in anger.

Slowly I looked over into Shadow's red crimson eyes and he stared at me with no expression but shock.

The gun remained in front of him and I leaped at him taking it in my right hand.

"YOU SON OF BITCH!" I screamed.
