Love Struck
Chapter 108 - Is Death A Shadow?
Raptor's POV 12:00pm
"You ok Raptor?" Asked Marx as I felt my mouth.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Why?" I asked.
Marx looked at me in confusion from across the room and slowly he replied.
"I just want to be sure. You could have broken your jaw jumping into that."
I looked at Marx in disgust and replied.
"So could have you, but thanks to my concern I stopped that from happening."
Marx lowered his head and slowly approached me.
As he approached I looked at Frost who sat as calm as he could in the corner of the room.
He nodded his head in confusion as Marx stopped in front of me.
Slowly he stuck out his hand.
"Thank you." He said with a small smile while looking into my eyes.
I hesitated but slowly accepted the thanks by shaking back.
"Your welcome." I said back.
Marx smiled as he released my hand.
I quickly looked at Frost.
"Where is the General?" I asked.
Frost gently sat up and replied.
"He went to go get the base's camera footage. We're going to see what happened last night."
I turned my head to the side and asked.
"Do you really think he could have gotten out on his own?"
Frost nodded and replied.
"Shadow is one though bitch, I think he could have."
"How do you think he got through the door?" I asked.
Frost quickly replied.
"He tapped into it or maybe just picked it open."
"He wouldn't have been able to do ether of those things." Stated Marx.
Frost slowly glanced at him and asked.
"Why not?"
Marx quickly replied.
"That door is top of the line. The lock is specially made so it can't be picked and the metal used to make the casein for the keycard scanner is made from a special steel that needs industrial strength tools to even have a shot at getting it off in order to reach the wires inside."
Frost turned his head in denial and quickly said.
"So all we have left to work with is the fact that someone could have entered your room during the night and took the keycard then broke him out or the theory that he somehow walked through the door."
I chuckled at that idea and Frost quickly asked.
"What do you got then?"
Slowly I replied.
"I think he just found a way to get out through the room itself."
Frost nodded and Marx quickly asked.
"Why do you think Shadow even wanted to leave?"
Frost and I nodded in confusion.
"I don't understand why he would want to leave." I stated.
"Me ether." Added Frost as we heard the door open.
Everyone watched and went silent as the General and a few soldiers came walking in.
"We got it." Stated the General as he turned to see me.
Quickly me and Frost got up and approached the General.
The General stared at me in sadness and quickly I said.
"It's ok. I'm fine. Lets see what happened."
The General nodded in approval as him and his men approached the table in the center of the security room.
Everyone rested their arms on the edges of the table as the General pulled out the flash drive that held the camera data from both us and G.U.N.
We all waited as he loaded up the data for the base first.
"Marx, what camera is in and outside your examination room?" Asked the General.
"Ahhhh, camera 65 is in and 66 is out." Replied Marx.
The General nodded as he loaded both cameras up to the computer he was using on the table.
"Get the TV Raptor." Ordered the General.
I nodded and approached the large TV set up at the end of the table.
Quickly I turned it on and applied the volume.
The General nodded as I retook my place.
"What time did you leave?" Asked the General to Marx.
"Ten." Replied Marx.
The General quickly turned on the data making it go on the screen in front of us.
"Here is camera 65 at 10 o'clock last night." Stated the General as it came up on the screen.
Frost, Marx, the General, about five other men, and me watched closely as Shadow came up on the screen. He rested in bed peacefully as time marched on.
"Speed it up." I ordered.
The General nodded and skipped about five minutes.
As we all waited are eyes widened as Shadow jumped up from bed with pure black eyes.
Everyone stood up straight and got closer to the TV as Shadow tossed up the covers.
His body was way too skinny. He looked over his body and smiled then slowly stood up.
His smile was pure black just like his eyes. Slowly he went to the bathroom to look at himself. Everyone was silent as he made his way to the door.
Everyone knew he had no way out and slowly we watched as he placed his right hand on the steel.
"What the…!" I tried to say before we all saw his hand go through it.
Everyone looked in shock as Shadow walked right through it.
"How the hell did he do that!?" Asked Frost in shock just like everyone else.
No one spook as the General went to camera 66.
We all noticed he went back a few seconds and we all stared in shock as Shadow came right through it.
Again we all were shocked as we noticed a black aura around his body.
"What is that?" I asked.
No one replied as Shadow began to make his way down the hall.
The General followed and we continued to watch as two of our men on base walked right by him.
I was surprised they didn't see him.
"Here is the last camera in the base it is by the exit." Stated the General as he switched.
We all watched in shock as Shadow came up behind the guard we had set up that night to protect the door from intruders.
Frost and I were completely thrown off when Shadow only touched the man.
Everyone watched in confusion as the man passed out on the spot.
Slowly Shadow rested the man down and went for the exit.
Gently he opened the door to stop and stare up.
Everyone was confused and still shocked as Shadow slowly disappeared out of sight.
Marx was probably the most confused being a doctor and all.
"The cameras from G.U.N." Stated the General as he switched to them.
We all watched and slowly coming from the road we saw him.
"How the hell?!" Asked Marx in confusion as Shadow approached the guards in nothing but boxers.
We could all tell the guards were scared shitless as one of them pointed their gun at him.
Shadow gently placed his right hand on the man's chest and everyone in the room widened their eyes in confusion as the man died instantly and hit the ground under his feet.
As soon as the man fell the other three G.U.N guards opened fire only hitting him once in the leg.
Marx widened his eyes even more as Shadow just kept going.
The men had to reload and we watched as two began to run away for their lives.
Shadow quickly took the rifle out of the one guard's hands and smacked him onto the floor.
We stared at him as he reached down on the guard and picked up one of his clips.
Quickly Shadow reloaded and gunned down the two runners with less then ten shots.
Shadow suddenly dropped the rifle and got down on his knees in front of the last guy.
We all watched as he went for his sidearm.
Shadow quickly took its end and bent it to the side.
Everyone looked in shock as Shadow then took the blade the man was trying to use to kill him and turned it back on his neck.
The man died slowly as Shadow carefully got back up to continue going leaving Pakistan.
The General quickly shut off the cameras and asked.
"Where does that boarder go?"
I took a minute and replied.
"Afghanistan."
Everyone widened their eyes as the General ordered.
"Get the commanding officer of Afghanistan on the phone and tell him to make sure all his men are ok and to fucking find Shadow!"
The soldiers immediately ran off as we all looked at Marx who was completely out of it.
"Its impossible." He stated.
"What happened to him?" I asked.
"Something was sure wrong. Did you see his eyes and his teeth?!" Asked Frost.
"And what about that black aura his body was giving off?" I asked.
"We have to get Afghanistan on alert." Stated the General.
Frost and I both agreed and I asked.
"What about the guard who was watching the exit that night? We should ask him what happened from his view."
The General nodded and replied.
"Its all you Frost."
Frost nodded and ran off to find the man as I asked.
"What the hell is going on?"
The General nodded in confusion and replied.
"I don't know what is happening, but we need Shadow back."
I nodded as Marx suddenly ran off.
"Marx!" I shouted as he ran out.
The General and me quickly ran out to chase him through the halls.
Marx quickly opened the room that once held Shadow and we caught him as he reached his computer.
"What are you doing?!" I asked as he started to flip through programs.
"The chip!" Shouted Marx in response.
I widened my eyes as the General asked.
"What chip!?"
"Marx implanted a special sort of medical chip inside me, Shadow, and Frost! It tells Marx what kind of shape we're in at all times!" I replied as Marx got Shadow's up.
"Will it tell us where he is?!" Asked the General.
"It should!" Stated Marx as he pulled up Shadow's status.
We all stared at the screen as Marx read aloud.
"Shadow the hedgehog- condition- multiple gashes and blood loss way above minimum amount required for death. Also multiple cuts and openings in the head. Skull fracture and brain waves hitting highest reaction possible. Patient also has a gunshot wound to the right leg along with a broken hand. Also suffering from starvation and dehydration. Patient hasn't got long for medical treatment. Possible survival rate- five percent."
"What does that mean!?" I asked in fear.
"It means Shadow has a five percent chance of living within…!" We were cut off as Marx looked at his pulse. It stopped.
We all widened eyes as Marx shouted.
"NO!"
Marx then hit the computer as every sign of Shadow's systems went down. Pulse, rate, heath, everything.
Shadow's POV 1:00pm
I laid by the exit to the graveyard staring at the street as people passed without notice.
I felt dead but I still held a beat.
Slowly as I stared at the people who walked by without seeing me a lone hedgehog stopped to see me. She was shocked and immediately ran over to my aid.
I couldn't make a move as she got on her knees next to me.
"Oh my god! Shadow is that you!?" She asked in fear as she felt my neck.
I tried my best to nod my head and immediately as she got the memo she went to move me.
She began to panic as she saw my condition and as best as she could she lifted me up onto my feet.
People watched as she got me to her car. My blood ran on the street as she got me inside.
"Stay with me!" She shouted as she buckled me in the seat.
I tried to keep awake as she got in the drivers seat next to me.
I slowly looked over at her as she started the car.
Our eyes connected as she stepped on the gas.
Her emerald green eyes staring into my barely alive ones.
"Just stay awake Shadow I'll get you some help!" She shouted as we drove down the road.
Slowly I began to lower my head.
"Shadow!" She screamed as we stopped.
I tried to open them again as I heard her step out of the car.
Suddenly as I barely stayed awake I felt her touch on my side.
She quickly unbuckled me and got me back out. Her seat was covered in my blood and she quickly shut the door.
I struggled to move as she carried me towards the house.
Immediately she opened the door and got me inside the warm household and I heard her slam the door shut.
I quickly fell down but she caught me and quickly guided me towards the bedroom.
My blood still dripped on the floor as she got me on the bed.
"Shadow! Hey, open your eyes!" She begged as she held her hands on my shoulders.
Slowly I opened them to find her there.
Her Pink quills. Her beautiful smile.
"Amy?" I questioned.
She stared at me while reaching for a first aid kit and I quickly shut my eyes.
"Shadow!" She shouted while touching my face.
Immediately I reopened them to widened in confusion.
Her eyes were red crimson and her quills were black.
Quickly she applied pressure to my head and I said in confusion.
"Sh…Shade?"
She smiled for a quick second and replied.
"Just stay with me Shadow, I got you!
Slowly I looked away as she taped the cloth to my head to keep the pressure on my wound.
As I tried to make sense of things I felt her give me something.
Slowly I looked over to find she had given me a small shot.
"What…what was that?" I asked barely.
Shade quickly replied.
"It will help you relax while I treat your wounds!" She stated while tossing the syringe away.
Gently I let my head drop and as she continued her work I felt her place her hand on my cheek.
"Just go to sleep Shadow." She said as I shut my eyes gently.
As I continued to feel her I passed out on the pillow.
That is it for today I hope you enjoyed. The next chapter will be on tomorrow.
