Love Struck
Chapter 96 - Blackness
Marx's POV 6:30am
"You'll be fine Dove." I swore to her as she cried loudly.
"No matter what I do Marx I'm still screwed when he gets back!" She shouted.
"Just explain yourself to him, I'm sure he'll understand." I stated.
"No!" Shouted Dove.
"Then what do you plan on doing?" I asked.
"I want Shadow to be here when I tell him!" Replied Dove.
"I don't think he'll be able by the time he gets here." I stated.
"Then I'll wait! I don't care! I just want him to be here when I see Ghost!" After her loud response Dove immediately went for the door.
"Dove, don't go!" I shouted.
She ignored me completely and slammed the door shut leaving me alone.
"Ahhhh…" I let out a small sigh and slowly got back up from my seat.
Quickly I began to go for the door. As I took each step all I could think about was Shadow.
I gently shut the door and locked it tight then went back for my room.
No one was there as I opened the door with my keycard.
"Bing! Click!"
The door unlocked and slowly I entered to still find Shadow asleep.
I smiled a little at the peacefulness he gave off and carefully approached the bed.
The second I stopped I glanced at his wrist.
"What the…!?" Slowly I reached for his wrist to take his cold fur in my hand. Slowly I lifted it to see blood. Quickly I knelt down to get a better view to see that his wrist was cut, multiple times in fact. Blood leaked down on the sheets and as I lifted it up more my eyes widened in shock to find that more blood exposed itself.
As his arm kept rising in my palm all I saw was cuts, it wasn't just one, it was more like fifty. They are not deep but enough to cut the skin wide open along with some tissue.
Carefully I lowered his arm and glanced at his readings.
His pulse was lowering and I had to do something and fast.
Immediately I got up and went for the door.
I left it open and made my way towards the storage room.
Inside I grabbed a med kit along with bandages and ran as fast as I could back to the room.
Quickly I entered to stop in my tracks.
My heart raced to find he was gone.
I stared at the blood filled bed to find nothing but a body imprint.
As I stood frozen in place I felt someone behind me.
Breathing slowly into my ear.
As I listened to his breath the only other thing that was going off was the vitals machine.
"Beeeeeeeeeeppppppppp!"
Slowly I felt the cold touch on my arm and blood slowly oozed onto my lab coat.
Cautiously I made my eyes look down to find the black fur resting softly.
Slowly I made my way up to find his chest and his white chest fur. My heart was pounding as I made it to his face.
Our eyes connected but mine were being targeted. I started to shake as I stared into his solid black eyes. The crimson was completely gone, nothing but darkness remained. I thought he was devil standing before me until I felt him take my keycard.
No expression held his face up. It was as if he was dead.
Slowly Shadow released my arm and turned to swipe the card across the scanner.
"Bing! Click!"
I began to make my way slowly towards the bed never letting my vision leave him as he let the keycard hit the floor.
My back hit the metal end of the bed and with a limping movement Shadow turned to me.
My body was shaking all over and slowly he approached me.
I watched as his mouth slowly began to open.
"Where am I?" He asked with a completely different voice.
The voice was darker and colder with a blade cutting deepness that it made my heart drop.
He kept coming as I couldn't respond.
"Who are you?" He asked as he drew nearer.
I began to push back on the bed with my back and slowly shadow stopped in front of me.
His feet touched my shoes and his breath went into my mouth as he breath nothing but cold air. The stench was foul and it wasn't his breath it was like death.
Slowly his hand came towards me and rested itself on my chest.
Shadow's blood dripped down my white jacket and onto the floor as he asked.
"Why am I here?"
I couldn't respond. I was too scared.
His teeth were pure black and they stared at me in craziness as his hand gently let go and fell back to his side.
He went silent and I stared into his black eyes when out of no where he screamed.
"LET ME OUT!"
Immediately I fell down in fear and my knees touched his as he kept screaming.
"LET ME OUT!"
I covered my ears as he let the screech carry on.
The second he stopped I kept my eyes closed in fear.
I listened as he began to walk away.
Shadow had locked the door himself and he attempted to prey it open with no force involved.
I opened my eyes to see him begin to bang on it.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" He screamed as he kept banging on the solid metal.
After a few more loud bangs he stopped and went for the table set up next to the bed.
I carefully crawled away as he picked up my scalpel.
Slowly he turned to face me and he said.
"If you won't let me go then I'll make you."
I felt nothing but fear for my life as he began to approach me with the blade in hand.
My back hit the wall as he lunged the blade forwards.
"Aghhhhh!"
Blood squeezed out from my chest as he held the blade tightly in place.
As I felt nothing but pain he began to pull up.
The blade cut into my chest while lifting me up onto the wall.
Shadow smiled slowly and tore the blade out causing blood to shot out from my mouth.
As I grabbed my chest to hold back the blood he swung again.
"Aghhhhhh!"
The metal hit my neck and I felt the blade go into my pipes causing nothing but blood to fill my throat.
Shadow let his smile go as he ripped it to the left completely ripping open my neck exposing my throat.
Blood poured down my coat as he readied himself for the finisher.
I stared into his black eyes as he swung.
"Aghh…!" I stopped instantly as the blade went into my forehead.
My body fell into the blade more and more as he whispered.
"Die brother."
The second he let the words leave his mouth he ripped out the blade causing me wo land face first on the blood covered floor.
I stared at the door as he dropped the blade letting it land next to me.
Slowly Shadow swiped the keycard on the lock.
"Bing! Click!"
The door unlocked for him and slowly he slipped through the exit letting the door slam behind him.
The sound of the door filled my ears as I died.
"Bang!"
Marx's POV 11:00am
"AGHHHHH!" I screamed as I woke up.
My heart raced as fast as it could go and immediate I looked to my left.
Immediately as my eyes rested on him I fell onto the floor in fear.
Shadow rested calmly in a deep sleep with nothing different then when I first fell asleep.
Slowly I got up and made my way towards his arm and carefully I raised it to find nothing but fur.
My eyes widened in shock as I let it fall down onto the bed and my other hand hit the table next to me.
Instantly I jumped to find the blade still there.
I stared at it and slowly backed towards the front of the bed to see my clipboard.
I took it in my hands to read off the conclusion.
"Shadow The Hedgehog."
"Age - 22."
"Sex - Male."
"Cause - Deep blunt trauma to the skull with minimal brain damage. Marks appear to be gone with no reason to their origin or cause. The patient is in a coma - time unknown- and is to be watched twenty four seven, with continuous cleaning of the wounds and monitors of health status. Painkillers will keep him relaxed and will be kept safe until he pulls through. Dr. Marx."
I slowly placed the clip board down in shock and as I went to back up.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
I jumped and quickly went for the door.
"Bing! Click!"
Slowly I opened the door to find Raptor standing there in complete concern.
"Hello Marx." He said as he offered his hand.
I took it as calmly as I could and shook with a shake and Raptor asked.
"Are you ok?"
I nodded and replied.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's nice to see you back. When did you get here?"
Raptor smiled and replied.
"Just got in about five minutes ago. Then I heard something about Shadow getting hurt?" He questioned.
I nodded and offered to let him by.
Raptor didn't hesitate. He walked right in and approached the bed where Shadow rested.
I shut the door tight as he took the clipboard.
I watched as he read it to himself and once he was done he asked.
"How did this happen?"
The Dark hedgehog waited for an answer as I hesitated.
"I never should have gone with my men." He stated while going for the door.
"It's not your fault!" I shouted as he walked by me in anger.
"It is! Now just shut the fuck up and get back to helping him!" He ordered as he slammed the door shut.
I was left alone in sadness and fear as the door shut.
"BANG!"
