Love Struck

Chapter 117 - Help Is Almost There

Shadow's POV

"Ughhhh!" I grunted as I opened my eyes to still realize my body was being restrained by the duck tape.

I roughly tried to break free but as I fought the tape I felt someone grab my shoulder.

Slowly Mark got in front of my eyes and I growled at him from under the tape as he smiled and patted my back.

"Nice to see your still alive. I was hoping you would be able to see this." He stated as he released his grip on my shoulder.

With widened eyes he turned me so that I was able to see Shade who was tied up in the chair. Her clothes were beaten down and I felt like nothing as I realized I failed to protect her from what this monster did.

Mark quickly got me up to my feet and slowly he dragged me over to a separate seat where his men held more tape.

Roughly I was tied to the seat and forced to look at Shade who cried extremely hard.

Slowly Mark went behind her with a knife and stuck it under her chin carefully stoking the fur. Shade was scared for her life as Mark stared at me.

"She fucked up real good didn't she?" He asked me.

I continued to try and break free as he started to cut her neck.

Slowly the blood made lines down her fur and I watched as she cried in pain from under the tape that held her back from screaming.

I saw Mark nod for his men to do something but I didn't know what as they left the room.

I just continued to stare at Mark as he felt Shade's boobs.

She cried and cried hoping I would do something but the truth is I'm too weak to do anything.

"After everything today I can't let you go, you know that right?" Asked Mark as he approached me.

I stared at him heavily as he put the knife to my cheek.

Under the tape I growled as he slit my cheek open gently letting the blood roll on his blade as he smiled.

"Someone will come soon enough and they will find you. I can't let them find anything. Blood, signs of struggle, bodies." Stated Mark as my eyes widened.

The second he said that he backed up and I began to panic as I felt something wet land on my head. It burned beyond hell and I tried my best to see what it was realizing I was being drenched with gas.

Shade screamed but unable to make a sound as the man went to her and slowly poured the remaining gas on her body/

I had to do something. I'm the commander of Pakistan's rebellion. I can't die to a bunch of punks especially like this.

"It's too bad you just didn't pay me Shade. Now you and your friend have to die." Stated Mark as he pulled out a lighter.

My eyes widened as he ignited the flame before our eyes.

Mark smiled as he held the lighter.

"I'm going to die." I said to myself as he stared at me.

Raptor's POV

"Thank you for the help Emily." I said as we left the house with nothing.

"No problem at all guys. I hope you find him soon." She wished as we walked over to our Humvee.

Frost drove as I got in next to him.

"Off to…Shade." He said as he read the paper.

"I'll call and see if Keith and Andre found anything yet." I informed Frost as I picked up the comm link.

Marx's POV

"Just relax Dom this will help you." Stated Silver as he gave Dom a dose of morphine.

Dom was scared I could tell by the way he was acting.

Slowly he began to fall asleep and it was truly sad watching this special forces soldier who was just like Frost and Raptor turn into someone completely different. Hopefully after this operation he will be back to normal. I'm just worried. One wrong move can kill Dom. Silver and I haven't done this big of a surgery before, this is a first time like sex.

As Dom passed out I gave him something to numb the pain to come. He wouldn't feel a thing.

Once we were ready I looked at Silver who began to put on his gloves and mask.

I nodded and got mine on and slowly I took the scalpel. Silver watched me and waited as I took a breath.

"Just relax Marx. We can do this." Assured Silver.

He felt just like me. We can't fuck up.

After a few more seconds I moved in on Dom's head.

Slowly I cut into his skin and made a small square around his skull. Silver watched as the blood poured on the floor.

With calm eyes I placed the skin flap on a small tray next to us.

"Water." I ordered as Silver sprayed it in Dom's head making the blood spread and clear up for us to see the skull.

As soon as the blood stopped I grabbed the drill.

Silver quickly ordered.

"Be sure not to go too far in."

I nodded and placed the drill bit on the skull of Dom.

With all the drill's force I went right into his head.

Silver clenched his eyes as I drilled four holes on each corner forming a square again.

As soon as I was in I grabbed the saw.

Silver nodded as I turned it on.

Dom's vitals were high but good enough for me to continue.

Slowly on each corner of the square I sliced through the skull.

I was about to faint from never doing this before but as I got to the last part Silver took the saw away.

"My turn." He said as he took my place.

Silver's POV

Slowly I took Marx's scalpel and placed it on the side of Dom's exposed brain.

His vitals went up as I opened it.

Marx was watching in worry but we both knew the chances we were working with when we started.

As soon as I had enough of the brain open Marx took some water and cleared out the blood in my way.

As soon as he pulled away I placed my first two fingers inside the brain searching around for the stem.

Slowly and extremely carefully I felt it and with a nod of my head Marx took it in his fingers as I got the small silver case from off the table.

Slowly I opened it to pull out the drug known as Viper Venom.

It was his only chance.

Quickly I popped off the top and approached Dom.

Very carefully I let the venom go inside his head.

The venom relaxed him as I took Marx's hand out.

I nodded and we started to quickly put him back together.

I hope Marx was right when he said this stuff would work. I have never worked with this type of drug and I have no idea where he got it from but now is not the time for questions.

Ghost's POV

I opened my eyes to look around in fear.

"NO!" I screamed as I found myself in a cell.

Immediately I got up off the cot and ran at the bars.

"LET ME OUT!" I screamed as tears came to my eyes.

No one came. The prisoners watched as I broke down.

I can't be back here. I never wanted any of this to happen.

Dove's POV

I got Midnight to sleep and I rested on my bed in complete loss for words.

I knew Ghost would be upset but never in my mind would I have dreamt he would be the one to try and kill me after this whole war.

I know him though and Ghost is not a murder I just think he needs help.

But I have no power until Shadow gets back…if he gets back. Wherever he is. I need him more then ever and with the baby for sure.

I don't know what to do if Shadow is dead. I can't raise this one alone and without help.

As I cried I felt a strong pain and it wasn't my eye. It felt like my abdomen.

"Ughhhhh!" I gagged as the pain began to hurt.

Slowly I managed to stand and it felt like a huge cramp in my belly.

Quickly I began to head for the bathroom.

As soon as I entered I shut the door tight so Midnight wouldn't see anything if she happened to wake up.

As I held my tummy I felt something going down my leg.

My eyes widened as I went to pull down my pants.

"Blood!?" I said to myself in shock as it ran down my leg.

"I'm not on my period it's too early." I said to myself as I felt the cramp.

The pain was unbearable as I went to my knees in front of the sink.

As I felt each second pass I felt my heart stop in complete fear.

"NO!" I screamed as I remembered what happened.

When Ghost pulled me back into the room he threw me and I hit my belly. Could he have..! No!

The pain took over and I fell on my side.

"AGHHHHH!" I screamed as loud as I could.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The pain was too much as I heard someone enter my room.

"DOVE!" It was Alicia.

"HELP!" I screamed as she ran to the bathroom.

Alicia opened the door to find me there in a ball of agony.

"OH MY GOD DOVE WHAT HAPPENED!?" She asked as she ran to me.

"THE BABY!" I screamed.

Alicia widened her eyes in fear and screamed.

"NO!"

"AGHHHHHHH!" I screamed as some men entered the room.

"We need to get her to Marx!" Shouted Alicia as she helped me up off the floor.

The soldiers immediately helped her and ran me out into the halls.

It's too early to have the baby.

They got me to the research wing and the soldier shouted.

"WE NEED A DOCTOR!"

Instantly Marx came out with Silver from the emergency room and ran at us.

"What's wrong!?" Asked Marx as he stared at me in worry.

I was in too much pain to respond and Alicia quickly took over.

"Something is wrong with the baby!"

I will end it there for now the next chapter will be on tomorrow as we find out what happens to Shadow and Shade.
