Love Struck

Chapter 105 - Dead Man Walking

Death's POV

I studied the door with thought finding out whatever ignorant person who protected this body locked the door with some sort of keycard system. I know there is no keycard in this room, maybe I can try something.

Slowly I raised my cold hand and placed it against the steel door. My black aura still floated around my skin as I shut my eyes.

I thought deeply but calmly and gently I felt as if my hand went through the door.

I slowly opened my eyes to see that it did. With a smile I pushed the rest of the way through watching as the steel passed though me. My feet touched the chill tile floor as I let my body go back to normal.

I smiled and looked back at the steel door to laugh knowing it could never hold me in place.

My vision was enhanced by this body and slowly I walked towards the exit to this place.

As I quietly paced my way down the hall I found myself enjoying this. It just feels amazing to have a body again and even better knowing no one can stop me.

I found the exit to this wing of the base I was in and slowly I opened the door leading into the heart of the building.

I glanced around seeing no one. I guess all these worthless people are asleep.

As soon as I was ready I continued to make my way for the exit.

As I walked down the hall my vision caught a glance of someone coming around the corner in front of me.

Immediately I pinned myself to the wall and watched as the two hedgehogs came around the corner.

What do you think Raptor is going to do if Shadow dies? Asked the one hedgehog as they turned the corner at me.

They didn't notice at all and just kept talking.

I don't know man, but if he goes we'll all die. We can't handle G.U.N without Shadow. Stated the other to his friend.

They continued down the hall as I slipped further into the base.

As I proceeded I thought about how people like that could look up to someone like Shadow. When I talk to him I can see his fight, but he's nothing more then a lone hedgehog who is broken and in need of the littlest of help.

I smiled picturing Shadow. His broken legs. His beat up face. His tears, his blood, and in a way his determination. Not once have I dealt with someone of his caliber. Shadow can fight but just like everyone he will break and he has, but I honor his courage and hope; its not everyday I get to deal with someone like him.

Quickly I found the exit to this base and not to my surprise someone was watching it.

A human in fact. Back towards me. Trying not to fall asleep on his post. I guess I'll help him.

Quietly I walked up on the sleepy guard and without a sound I placed my hand on his mouth. He panicked, but immediately began to lower his head at my touch.

"Shhhhhh…that's it." I whispered as he passed out.

Gently I placed his body up on the chair and continued to leave this place.

Without attempt I passed through the door not triggering an alarm and as my feet touched the dirt I stopped to look up at the night sky.

The moon was something I hadn't seen in so long and the gentle breeze brought a slight excitement to my soul. I couldn't stay here too long, I had to keep moving.

Quickly I proceeded out the main gate and into the city. No one was out this late. Only the local gangs were awake. I didn't nor did care about any of them, I just kept going.

I knew where the graves were and I had to get to Afghanistan. The only problem about that is G.U.N. They protect the boarders so any rebellion forces can't leave. Not a problem.

I just kept walking.

1 Hour Later. 11:00pm

The boarder appeared before me and I smiled as I walked down the street at the men who guarded the exit into Afghanistan.

The men looked confused as I approached and the nearer I grew the more worried they became.

I was about fifty feet away when one of the men came forward gun in hand.

"State your business!" He ordered.

I just kept going at him. Nice and slow.

The men behind him prepared as I got closer and they aimed at me.

"Stop!" Ordered the man in front.

I was ten feet from him now and I could see the sweat on his face.

I wasn't surprised G.U.N was confused by me. Besides the aura and the bare skin, I was also only in boxers. I mean Shadow was only in boxers.

"STAY BACK OR WE'LL SHOOT!" Threatened the man as he aimed at me.

I smiled into the man's eyes as he grasped the trigger.

Quickly I pushed his gun to the side and applied my hand on his chest. His eyes widened in pain and slowly he died in my arms.

His men were shocked and scared shitless as I tossed him to the floor.

"OPEN FRIE!" Ordered the men.

Without missing a beat they did.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The bullets missed due to there fear but one managed to make its way into my leg. The pain doesn't affect me. Its not my body. When I release Shadow he will feel it all.

Black blood oozed down my leg as I reached the men.

"CLICK!"

They ran out of ammo.

I smiled as I grabbed the rifle out of the man's hands.

He widened his eyes as I brought the ass end onto his cheek.

Quickly he was sent to the floor as his men tried to run.

I wasn't letting them go.

The man on the ground wanted his pistol but that wasn't happening.

Using both my feet I stepped on his hand and on his chest.

Slowly I reached into the mans armored vest and pulled out one of the rifle clips.

He stared at me in anger as I reloaded the gun.

As soon as it was loaded I looked up at the men who were a good thirty feet away.

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Both the men dropped in the sand letting their blood sweep out onto the sand as I dropped the rifle.

I slowly stared at the man on the ground and gently stepped off his hand and chest.

The man stared at me in confusion as I knelt down in front of him.

We stared at each other and after five anger filled seconds he went for his handgun.

The second it came up I placed my hand on the side of the barrel.

The man widened his eyes in shock as I bent the barrel to the side.

Slowly he let the gun drop and he quickly went fore his blade.

As he went to swing I grabbed his hand.

He stared into my black eyes with fear as I turned the blade around.

"Ughh!"

Using all I had I forced the blade back at him letting it go deep in his neck.

The blood squirted out from the blade and slowly I stepped up to watch him die.

I smiled as he shut his eyes and I continued on my way to Afghanistan passing the bodies I gunned down.

3 Hours Later. 2:00am.

After a nice calm walk I made it to the city where nothing but darkness consumed the streets, maybe its because I'm here.

The city has changed and they have Shadow to thank for that.

The streets where paved and the stores flourished. Its like a whole new place. No G.U.N shit.

Maybe Shadow is doing the right thing for these people.

As I approached the boarder the men waited who guarded the city.

They stared at me as I approached and slowly they came down from their posts.

I was going to pass like it or not, but I don't want to hurt these men. They are with Shadow.

I stopped in front of the gate as the men opened it slowly to stare at me in shock and fear just like the others before.

"Shadow, sir?" Questioned one of the men as he stopped in front of me.

The men began to gang around. I'm happy its only three.

Slowly I reached out and placed a hand on the men to my sides sending them to the floor.

I made sure it didn't kill them, only pass out.

The man in the middle was scared as I touched his chest.

Slowly I closed my eyes and focused on him.

"Aghhhh!" The man let out a light scream but quickly died down and I watched as his eyes went black.

Gently I let go of him and ordered.

"Take me to the graveyard."

My puppet worked like a charm and quickly he turned and nudged me to follow.

I followed while looking back at the two who slept. They would forget everything when they wake up as for this one, I'll be sure to let him go.

The man dragged me through the night sky until we reached the yard.

I could see the capital from here.

"Take me to Amy Rose." I ordered him.

He complied as if he had a choice and led me to the grave site.

As soon as my eyes rested on the grave I stopped letting the man go.

The man fell onto the floor as I hid behind the large tombstone.

It took him a minute but he managed to get back on his feet.

If I was right he should have forgotten everything that he just went through.

"What the hell am I doing here?" He asked himself as he looked about.

The man took a few seconds to think then slowly made his way out towards the street. If I guess to get back to his post at the boarder. I wonder what it will be like when he finds his men sleeping on the job.

As soon as he was out of my site I stared at the grave.

Gently I knelt down next to the dirt that held her and the boy below and I gently placed my hand on top feeling it's cold touch.

I smiled and slowly went for my arm.

I need to sacrifice some blood to allow the process to start.

Gently I raised my hand up and I placed Shadow's thumb between his sharp teeth.

"I'll start slow." I said to myself as I bit down.

Black blood slowly came forward from the bite mark and I gently let it drip on the dirt.

As this was happening it began to rain heavily.

I smiled knowing the process was working.

As the rain picked up I placed each and every finger Shadow had in my mouth and bit down breaking each one wide open.

The blood poured down onto the dirt and it wasn't enough as the lightning began to go off.

Slowly I raised Shadow's right arm and bit down onto the skin.

With all my force I tore a huge portion of his skin off exposing the muscles.

Blood raced down my arm letting out like a bucket onto the already covered dirt.

I waited as more an more came out.

I smiled not feeling anything. Shadow will feel it when I let him go, but as long as I'm here I don't care how much he loses.

I was nearly there and I only had one last thing to do.

With my gashed fingers I ran them on the tombstones surface slowly writing in blood The Seal Of Eternal Death.

As I finished the symbol I placed both of Shadow's hands on top of the stone.

With a smile I slammed his head down onto it's solid topside bashing open the skull that held his fine brain.

Blood dripped down my face but it wasn't enough.

"BASH!"

The skull of Shadow cracked on impact as blood began to pour.

Not enough though.

"BASH! BASH! BASH!"

With those last hits on the grave Shadow's head split open in two causing nothing but a fountain to emerge.

With a smile I raised up and shut my eyes.

I was done here. Now it's his turn to play with the body.

Quickly I raced out of the body letting his soul return.

Shadow's POV

It was instant.

I was asleep in the dark and now all I felt was pain.

Blood rolled down my face as I began to look around.

I gently found my hands to find each finger bit open in a gnarly way.

My eyes watered in tears of fear and agony as I stared at my arm.

"Aghhhhhhh!" I screamed as all I saw was muscle.

Blood poured out as a large clop rolled onto my nose.

Quickly I placed my hand on top of my head to realize I wasn't touching my head I was touching my skull. Even worse I felt my brain. It pulsed madly wanting to die.

I cried and slowly I feel onto my knees resting my eyes on the grave in front of me.

It was covered in blood and I cried extremely too hard as I read.

"Amy Rose and Shadow jr. Missed by all."

That was enough.

I quickly face planted into the dirt on top of the grave and all I saw was black.

Black blood.

Black sky.

Black light.

Black.

That is it let me know what you thought and the next chapter will be up tomorrow.
