Love Struck

Chapter 107 - What?!

Marx's POV 9:00am

Aghhhhhh. I yawned as I slowly sat up from my warm bed.

With no carefulness in mind I glanced about my room to find it was dark as hell. Usually when I wake up the sun is blaring through my window. Is it not morning? I wondered as I reached for my clock.

Gently I turned the clock to see it was nine.

It had to be morning. I didn't sleep through the whole next day.

Quickly I managed to find my feet and I slowly got up to approached the blinds covering my window.

My hands grasped their silky feel and I slowly opened them to find nothing but clouds and thunder going off above.

My eyes were wide open in shock as I opened the window.

I slowly reached out to feel the touch of rain.

"Rain?" I asked myself as it poured onto my hand.

My fur quickly dropped drenched and I quickly shut the window.

"It can't be raining. We're in Pakistan. It doesn't rain here." I told myself as I chucked on my clothes for work.

As I got dressed all I could do was stare out the window.

As soon as I was done I opened my door to find Raptor and a few soldiers including his brother walking by.

Raptor caught a glance of me and immediately stopped to take me by the arm.

"Come with me." He ordered as he dragged me down the hall with his men.

"What's going on?" I asked him as we walked up the stairs to the next floor.

Raptor let out a small chuckle and replied.

"I know you had to have seen it."

"The rain?" I questioned.

Raptor nodded as we approached the stairs leading to the roof.

"What about it?" I asked as we walked up.

Raptor didn't respond as he opened the door to the roof.

Slowly we walked out to begin getting covered in the wet miracle. Raptor and almost everyone stared up into the sky as I tapped his shoulder.

Raptor quickly looked at me.

"What do you make of it?" I asked as he smiled.

"It has to be something big to make it rain this bad over here." Replied Raptor as a lightning bolt went off above.

"BANG!"

Everyone stared at awe at the light and Raptor asked.

"What about you?"

I nodded and replied.

"To be honest I don't know. It's almost impossible for a storm like this to hit us."

Raptor nodded as Dove came up through the door.

She stopped to stare up into the sky as I went to approach her.

Dove quickly caught my eye and she stated.

"I can't believe this!"

I smiled as someone special came up behind her.

Dove and me both smiled widely as her little body came jumping up the stairs and into the cold rain.

Her small black quills got covered as Dove picked her up.

"Mommy rain!" Shouted Midnight in joy.

Dove smiled and hugged her and replied.

"Mommy sees it honey!"

I smiled as Raptor came over.

"Nice to see you Dove. How do you feel?" He asked.

Dove gently let Midnight down and said.

"Go have fun honey, but be careful! Stay near me!"

Midnight immediately went off as Dove looked back at me and Raptor.

"I feel like shit."

Raptor quickly replied.

"Hey don't say that."

"How can I not?" Asked Dove in a sad tone.

I jumped in and replied.

"Because you have a baby coming. Just relax. No one here holds what you did against you. If I were you I might have done the same thing."

Dove smiled and quickly gave me a small hug.

"Thanks."

I hugged back and replied.

"Hey, it's nothing."

Dove smiled wider as she pulled away.

"Do you need anything by any chance?" Asked Raptor.

Dove nodded her head.

"Just some aspirin."

I nodded and replied.

"We can get that. Come on, lets get to my room."

Dove nodded as I approached the exit.

"Come on Midnight! Time to go!" Shouted Dove.

We all stared as Midnight came running back to her mother.

As soon as Dove held her in her arms Raptor called his men.

"Lets go!"

His men followed and we slowly made are way off the roof.

We were all drenched and we all quickly shook to get what we could off our clothes and fur.

As soon as we were all done drying off I guided Dove and Raptor along with his brother and the few other men towards my examination room.

Everyone we past were ether on their way to the roof to see the rain or they were talking about how the hell it rained over here. Pakistan hasn't had a storm for over ten years.

Eventually we managed to make it to the research wing where my door waited.

Everyone stopped as I pulled out my keycard.

Quickly I swiped it across the scanner.

"Bing! Click!"

The door unlocked and slowly I opened it.

We slowly walked inside and about halfway into the room I stopped to look at the bed in complete shock.

Everyone followed my eyes as Raptor shouted.

"Where the hell is Shadow!?"

I stood there in complete confusion and awe as Raptor stared into my blank eyes.

The covers to the bed were tossed on the floor and you could make out the hand prints in the mattress itself.

Dove was the one who was the most shocked and her daughter stared at her in confusion as she stared at the bed.

"MARX!" Screamed Raptor.

I broke from thought and quickly looked at Raptor.

"Where is he!?" He asked me in anger.

I couldn't respond.

Raptor screamed louder as I stared at him still in shock.

"WHERE IS SHADOW!?"

"I…I don't…know." I replied in complete confusion.

Raptor immediately turned to his men.

"I want him found!" He ordered.

His men instantly began to search the room.

He couldn't have left. I locked the door with the only keycard.

His men still searched as Raptor grabbed me by the arm.

"What happened!?" He asked.

"I don't know. Shadow was here when I locked up and there is no windows or vents for him to get into even if he wanted to leave." I stated.

"Are you sure!?" Asked Raptor.

"In his condition yes. Shadow shouldn't be able to move." I replied.

"Where was the key last night!?" Asked Raptor.

"With me in my room." I replied.

"Is it possible that someone could have token it!?" He asked.

"No. No way in hell. I locked it up in my safe after work." I replied.

"Then how is he not here!?" Asked Raptor in anger.

"I told you! I don't know!" I shouted.

As Raptor stared into my eyes with confusion one of his men shouted.

"Found something!"

Immediately Raptor went to him.

I slowly approached with Dove as his man said.

"Black and red quills."

Raptor knelt down and slowly picked one up as I stared in front of him.

Soon everyone did.

The six inch steel door was there.

"The door was locked Raptor, I swear." I stated.

Raptor slowly got up and replied.

"Then how the hell is he gone!? Did he just walk through it!? Last time I checked Shadow isn't a ghost!"

I went silent as Dove asked.

"Is he in the base?"

Raptor immediately pushed open the already unlocked steel door and looked down at the floor.

Raptor's POV

Quills.

More quills.

"They are Shadow's, but how? If the door was locked like Marx said then how the hell did they get out here?" I asked myself as I bolted off down the hall.

As I ran I pushed by the soldiers who stared at me in confusion.

"MOVE!" I ordered them as I ran to the security room.

Everyone ether moved or began to follow me as I pushed open the door leading into the security room.

Instantly I lunged at the microphone for the base's intercoms.

"General Hannon we need you at the security room now!" I ordered over the base intercoms.

Quickly I turned at the door to wait as a few of his guards came bashing in with Hannon not too far behind.

"What the hell is it Raptor!?" He asked as he approached me.

"Shadows gone sir!" I stated.

Immediately him and almost anyone who followed me widened their eyes in shock.

"HOW!?" He asked in confusion.

"We don't know sir! Marx said he locked up last night after work and not more then five minutes ago when we reentered the room Shadow was gone!" I replied.

The General stared at me in confusion but we both knew something was wrong. If what Marx said was true then Shadow is dying at the moment.

Immediately the General took the microphone and shouted.

"Listen up everyone! Shadow is missing and I want everyone searching for him right now! He can't have gone far! We need him back here safe! If you find him or anything report to me at once! GO!" He ordered.

The second he finished everyone bolted off. You could hear the base running all over in search for our leader.

"I want Marx here right now!" Ordered the General.

"I'm here!" Shouted Marx as he came running in.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" Asked the General as he charged Marx who was immediately pushed back into the door.

The soldiers held the General back as Marx replied.

"I didn't do anything!"

"Fuck yeah you didn't! How did Shadow get out!?" Asked the General as he attempted to take Marx by the neck.

Marx was grabbed and the soldiers attempted to break up the fight.

"I don't know! Shadow was in bed last night with nearly a pulse! There's no way in hell he got out! I locked up and locked the only keycard in my safe in my room!" Stated Marx while attempting to get the General's hand off him.

"Then someone broke in and got it while you were sleeping! Someone took him!" Shouted the General.

"No one broke in! The keycard is right here!" Stated Marx as he pulled it out to show him.

The General had enough and broke free sending the keycard to the floor.

I widened my eyes and lunged as the General went to send a cannon at Marx who shut his eyes.

The soldiers moved away letting the fist go in but I wasn't going to let that happen.

"Smack!"

Everyone backed up but Marx and the General as I was sent to the floor with a bloody lip.

"Raptor!" Shouted Frost as he ran in to immediately come to my aid on the floor.

The General stared at me with Marx in shock as I didn't move.

Frost's POV

I grabbed Raptor by his shoulders but he wouldn't move.

"Raptor!" I screamed as he didn't respond.

As I began to panic I gently rolled him over to his back as a medic came down next to his other side.

"Raptor!" I said in fear as I got close to his face.

I felt his breath but he wouldn't move nor open his eyes.

The medic felt his pulse as I held my grip on his arm.

"He's out cold." Stated the medic as I moved his face towards me.

Raptor's face drizzled blood and immediately I attempted to wipe it off.

His soft skin made the blood spread but as I applied pressure to his mouth it slowly began to stop.

As I wiped the blood up I glanced at the two idiots who still stared in shock.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?" I screamed at the General who began to look at me.

Quickly I got up and got in both their faces.

"Shadows gone." Stated Marx still in shock.

"I FUCKING HEARD THAT MUCH! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO RAPTOR!?" I asked in rage.

Marx was scared as the General replied.

"I was angry. I didn't mean to hurt him."

Immediately I got in his face.

"YOU WOULDN'T HAVE, BUT BOTH OF YOU ARE ACTING LIKE FUCKING KIDS! YOU ARE REBELLION SOLDIERS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! NOTHING GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO HURT ANOTHER FRIEND NO MATTER WHAT IT IS! DON'T ETHER OF YOU KNOW THIS!?" I asked in more rage as a solider took my shoulder to try and pull me off the General who began to back up a little.

Both of them went silent as the soldier said in my ear.

"You made your point Frost."

I began to calm down and immediately I went back on my knees to look at Raptor who began to bleed again.

I slowly began to wipe it off getting parts of his face red and slowly I looked back at the two men who still stared at me in shock.

"We're all going to die if we start hurting each other." I stated while turning back to Raptor who laid on his back out cold.

The medic and me continued to treat Raptor as I heard the General say.

"I'm sorry Marx."

I glanced back to see Marx shake his hand.

"Are you two good?" I asked still mad.

"Yes Frost." Replied the pair.

"Good. Now we need to find Shadow." I stated.

"Where would have he gone?" Asked Marx.

As I went to answer the intercom went off.

"Sir!" One of our soldiers shouted.

I stayed next to Raptor as the General picked up.

"What is it soldier!?" He asked.

"My men and I have found G.U.N bodies at the boarder." Replied the soldier.

Everyone stared at the General as he asked.

"Cause of death?!"

"Two were shot and another was stabbed, but we also have another body." Stated the soldier.

"And!?" Asked the General in anticipation.

"He has no wounds sir. It's as if he died of a heart attack on the spot. Are medic says there is a distinctive hand print on his chest." Stated the solider.

The General immediately turned at Marx who came towards the microphone.

"Is there anything else?" He asked.

"We found a pistol with it's barrel bent." Replied the soldier.

We all were confused as Marx asked.

"Did you look at the cameras? G.U.N has them posted on the boarders."

The soldier quickly replied.

"I have one of my men on that while we speak."

"Get what you can and get back here. G.U.N will send more troops to check in! If they find you they will attack us as an act of war!" Shouted the General.

"Roger that sir!" Replied the soldier.

"Can you make it seem like it might not have been us?" Asked Marx.

"We can make it look like one of the gangs did it. We'll take the bent gun and the one dead solider back with us. Maybe you can find something out." Replied the soldier.

"Alright good. Get out of there as fast as you can." Ordered Marx.

"Yes sir." Replied the soldier.

Slowly Marx released the microphone and looked at me as I still attended to Raptor.

"Could Shadow have left?" Asked the General.

"No, it's impossible. Shadow's condition is really bad. He might have been able to leave the base but killing those men let alone getting there would have killed him." Stated Marx.

"Then who killed them and where is Shadow?" Asked the General.

"I don't know. We'll check the footage once that squad gets back." Replied Marx.

Everyone went silent as Raptor still laid on the floor.

Dove's POV

I examined the room to find the bathroom open.

Slowly I entered to find that the mirror was covered in a steam of some kind.

I carefully approached it and raised my hand to gently touch the steam.

My eyes widened to find it was extremely cold.

The weird part was as I ran my fingers across the steam it didn't clear up.

I roughly began to rub it and slowly it began to go away.

As I got closer to being able to see my reflection I felt as if I shouldn't be messing with it.

I kept going and as soon as I saw a reflection I heard.

"Pisssss!"

I leaped back scared to death and slowly I looked straight into the mirror.

As I got in it's view I noticed nothing was there.

Slowly I looked back into the room to see no one there as well and I quickly looked back to stop in shock.

Shadow stood behind me with pure black eyes and a bloody smile.

I stared into him as he ran his hand across his chest.

Blood was all over him and slowly he placed his hand on my cheek.

I began to panic in fear and I quickly tried to turn around.

As soon as I did he was gone.

I stared at the wall in fear and slowly I looked back to find him there, but he was different.

His head was bashed in and blood poured down his neck as he raised his hand onto my face. I stared at his arm as nothing but muscle showed. Even his fingers were chopped open. I was frozen in fear as he approached the other side of the mirror.

Slowly his hand came through the glass and I began to back up in fear.

My body shook as his head began to enter the bathroom through the mirror.

Slowly he placed his bloody hands on the sink and he stopped to stare at me.

I stared into his black eyes and suddenly he leaped.

"AGHHHH!" I screamed as he lunged at me face first.

My eyes were shut as I kept screaming.

After a few seconds of nothing happening I reopened them to find him gone.

"Mommy!?" Shouted Midnight as she entered the bathroom to find my back against the wall.

I stared at the mirror and immediately made my way for the door to take Midnight in my arms. As soon as she was up I ran out of the room.

Shadow's POV three hours later. 12:00pm

I still remained next to the tombstone unable to move.

Blood had stopped flowing out of my skinny body.

I looked like a stick.

My skin was pale and most of my quills have come off.

I stared up into the storm as it began to pour harder on me.

I had to do something or I was going to die soon.

I need to find help.

Slowly I gained the balls to roll over to my hands and knees.

The chain remained in my hand and slowly I attached it to my neck.

The gold dangled around my head as I attempted to move forward.

Slowly I began to crawl forward to the nearest exit out of here.

That's it and I am sorry for yesterday. I wanted to post but my computer was destroyed. I barely got this on.

I don't know how much longer this computer has but I will make it work.

Ps: going to my dads till Sunday. I will be back to post some chapters up then.
